Yes, Mars' slow motion across the eclipse degree seems to have resulted in less "dramatic" events than we might expect otherwise and the kind which will probably take 2nd pass if not the whole transit of Leo to figure out...to me the complexity reflects the natural consequences of nearly 100 yrs of foreign meddling in the region. Yet, we also know that out of complexity order emerges. Saturn opposite Uranus has resulted in a New World order each of the last two transits and I expect nothing less before this one is done.

I'm not into ingress charts yet but I am interested in what you have said about the Mars transit in relation to the USA chart. The direct station degree of 00leo18 seems to me to be the most critial of the stations for the USA. Opposite natal Pluto and conjunct the natal Vertex/Fortunae. I do use precession which I find is extrememly important with these older charts. The precession correction value is now 03*15' which brings natal Pluto to 00aqu48, natal Vertex to 29can24, and natal Fortunae to 29can27. As you mentioned, that massive solar eclipse in July was 29can27. I know you were expecting something big to happen when transiting Mars hit that eclipse degree (in relation to Iran). Well something big did happen: <a href="http://whitehouse.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/10/15/4644/" rel="nofollow">President Obama Signs Pakistan Aid Bill</a>, 7.5 billion dollars (you don't have), and 2 days later Pakistan launched a massive offensive against Taliban stronholds in the border region with Afghanistan. This does tie into Iran as they blamed Pakistan/USA for the recent suicide attack on their Revolutionary Guard. I believe the Pakistani's just captured some Iranians on the border. This is also a big development because it opens up another front in the battle with the Taliban, hopefully taking some heat of our troops. Though the reaction within the Pakistan military is not so friendly. A risky play by Obama with transiting Uranus opposite his Mars? When Obama signed that Kerry-Lugar Bill, tansiting Mars was 29can27. Spot on eclipse degree - exact. Just lovely to see astrology working like this. So we have till next March to do our homework on how this will playout when Mars hits 00leo18. This is THE big thing in mundane astrology right now. USA, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Taliban, Iran, Iraq. God, how many charts is that? Glad you wrote this up Gary. I’m not into ingress charts yet but I am interested in what you have said about the Mars transit in relation to the USA chart.
