Astrology Signs and Planets.

Hi all,

A member of another club posted the following:

The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next,
Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate
in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded
history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due
to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit,
astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this
close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as
60,000 years before it happens again.
                                                                           =

                                                         The encounter
will=
culminate on
August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of
Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the
night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11
arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars
will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the
East at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.

By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will
rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m.
That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being
has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the
beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and
brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and
grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS
AGAIN

So what does this mean astrologically? The world is already fomenting with 'wars and rumors of wars' everywhere. Does this indicate escalation? Or will the peaceniks of the world, myself included, finally cry ENOUGH!, go grab all the war-mongering miscreants, gag them, bind them, and drop them into the deepest part of the Atlantic (Wow! that was a marvelous fantasy!)? It will evidently be some kind of momentous and historical time. With mars involved, what can Mother Earth and all her little earthlings expect? Sue-Angelbear7042
