Mars in Aries
By: Kate Wind / Kate’s Insight
Mercury definitely takes the spotlight when
it comes to retrograding, but did you know
all planets retrograde?
Mars is a fast-moving planet, only spending
roughly six weeks in each sign. Unlike Mercury which retrogrades
several times a year, Mars retrogrades the least out of all the planets,
making this upcoming 6-month cycle in Aries something to talk about!
Mars rules action, aggression, competition, desires, and motivation
which is fitting for the red-colored planet! Mars moved into Aries on
July 27 th .

Judy Holliday (1921-1965), stood 5’8” tall
and was an incredible actress, comedian
and singer. She was incredibly smart (IQ of 172)
although her career was noted for her distinctive voice and playing
endearing dumb blondes on stage and in film.
She started her career in nightclub acts and eventually performing
on Broadway. She won many awards on Broadway and in movies for
her acting abilities.
While Mars is in Aries, it will make a square to Jupiter, Saturn and
Pluto; the three planets that joined forces in January of this year. What
did you birth during the initial quarantine period of Covid-19? It may
give you a hint of what action needs to take place on a personal and
worldly level.
On September 9 th Mars will retrograde at 28 degrees of Aries, making
its way back to 15 degrees of Aries on November 13 th . This retrograde
could pose as a challenge if you have any personal planets sitting
between 15-28 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn.
The last Mars retrograde in Aries was 1988! That’s 32 years ago! What
happened that year that made you “get mad”, “push back” or initiate
action?
Aries rules new beginnings, determination, bursts of energy and
wields power; making the latter half of 2020 to be a great time to make
a change! Mars is fiery, so feelings of anger and frustration may rise up
during the retrograde.
Though this may not sound fun, it’s these feelings that will initiate
the needed change or adjustments in your life!
If you have been putting off starting a project, hiring someone or a
potential move, Mars in Aries will give you the extra burst of energy to
do so!

No doubt many readers remember her from her role in Born
Yesterday. She used a squeaky high voice as Billie Dawn, the “dumb
blonde wife” of Broderick Crawford.
One of her famous lines to Crawford was: “You an’ your big
numbers. You don’t watch out; you’ll be wearing one across your
chest.”
In her last movie, Bells Are Ringing, Holliday gave a glowing
performance as a telephone operator who meddles in clients’ lives.
She received further positive reviews as Ella Peterson in the movie The
Party’s Over.
There was also glowing reviews when she played Doris Attinger in
the romantic comedy, Adam’s Rib with Spencer Tracy and Kathryn
Hepburn. One of the famous scenes in this movie occurred when Judy
was asked in a trial: “And after you shot your husband, how did you
feel?” Her reply was “’hungry.”
During the Communist political “cleansing” of actors during the
1950s, she convinced the United States Senate, (using her characteristic
squeaky voice) of not being a Communist, thus saving her career and
not identifying nor naming other fellow actors.
A funny story about her should be noted in light of the “MeToo
Movement.” It concerned actresses in dealing with a producer’s
misconduct.
A friend had given her “stuffings” to be placed in her bra when she
was going to an appointment with a prominent movie producer who
was a sexual abuser. When he tried to place her on his “casting couch”
she took the stuffings out, threw them at him, while shouting many
choice words.
She married David Oppenheimer a clarinetist, conductor and
composer and had one son. She divorced David after ten years.
