TODAY: Square your shoulders and stride decisively into the zone and/or limelight. With Mars now moving in the right direction again, getting traction (and your feet and mouth into alignment) is slated to be a heck of a lot easier that it has been since late December. And, implementing your initiatives should not be as daunting (i.e. like trying to dig a foundation with a teaspoon!) either.

YOUR BIRTHDAY: And a-waa-y we go! Not only should your sense of possibility hover between acceptable and excellent (as opposed to poor to fair): Your ability to take advantage of available business and emotional opportunities, sort out complex personal or emotional matters, and/or resolve lingering issues (as well as leap tall buildings in a single bound) should improve exponentially, and impress even such an exigent critic as yourself.

	Aries Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	“The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat … " Now that chieftain Mars, the planet of vim and vigor, is moving forward through fellow fire sign Leo, the course of artistic endeavors, creative projects - and even true love - should run more smoothly than it has of late, i.e. since the end of December.
	Taurus Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Yippee. Home, hearth and real estate matters should pick up speed as Mars, the planet of getting it done, returns to direct motion. While you’re wheeling, dealing, organizing, planning and running hither and yon, remember: The more direct you can be about what suits you (while not coming across like an elk on a bender!), the better.
	Gemini Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	It’s utterly within the realm of possibility that you will be able to adjust to people turning up for meetings and appointments on time, your communications (or computer) equipment functioning normally again and your simple plans not going spectacularly awry and taking hours to salvage. Hallelujah, and yes – since you asked – Mars has finally returned to direct motion.
	Cancer Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Commanding Mars, the planet of action, has finished doing the backstroke through Leo and the money and resources sector of your solar chart. This suggests that creative and economic issues should become less complex and convoluted (yay!) and that some delays or glitches that you were beginning to think might actually be permanent could in fact dissipate shortly.
	Leo Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Mars has just spent the last three-ish months going backwards in your sign, which could explain why getting motivated and accomplishing certain things has consumed the time and energy that it has. Never mind. Mars will spend the next two months going forward in your sign, and progress – and a sense of accomplishment – is a foregone conclusion.
	Virgo Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Glad that’s over! By now those faith and self-assurance muscles that you’ve been exercising religiously (thank you Mars retrograde in Leo ... ) should be buff. Moreover, if you believe in the ultimate viability or a project and a positive outcome, victory should be yours, all yours. (Thank you Mars, no longer retrograde in Leo!)
	Libra Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Mars, the planet of movement, is going direct. This should provide a little welcome momentum and/or activity in the advancing of goals and objectives department, especially if you continue on the diet of patience, determination, cheerful optimism and “where there’s a will there’s a wayism” that you’ve subsisted on over the past eleven weeks.
	Scorpio Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Energetic Mars is finally moving forward, which should bring an end to some of the delays that have been haunting a professional, social or creative project. So view this as your cue to sift through the “way too much trouble to get off the ground” pile to see if there’s anything in there that merits another try.
	Sagittarius Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	So hopefully you were your usual good sporting self and took any postponements or snailish progress in stride. Mars, the planet of initiation, just wrapped up a fairly lengthy retrograde. And, within short order, you should find that progress is occurring and that your program for travel, study, expansion, advancement, adventure, romance, etc. is proceeding at a clip.
	Capricorn Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Pioneering Mars is done reversing through Leo and is now heading forward again. Among other benefits, this suggests that you won’t have to spend as much time chanting (and reminding yourself that patience is a virtue!) as you have had to when dealing with joint endeavors, collaborative efforts or psychological issues any time over the past eight weeks.
	Aquarius Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Oh joy! Now that Mars, the planet of daring, which has been retrograde since December 20, is once again moving forward: Partners and colleagues should be considerably easier to read and more straightforward about their plans and intentions, which should put you in a much better mood. Maybe you’ll even be able to figure out who’s on first.
	Pisces Wednesday, March 10, 2010
	Competitive Mars is finally finished with a (what likely seemed like an endless!) retrograde through me-oriented Leo. Therefore, certain business, medical or emotional matters that slowed down to a crawl circa December 20 may now actually begin to show signs of life, and you’re encouraged to do whatever it takes to get them fully revitalized.
