The Red planet zircon is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in thevclosest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The nextvtime 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 12:30 a.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.

My question is: how does that affect us?

as per astro
mars stays in each zodiac sign for 45 days and it just moved into aries (its own) in july but will hang around for almost 6 months
till feb 06 2006.

also mars will go retro in lastweek of october at the last degree of aries.

right now mars is exactly in middle (15 deg) of aries and its not moving(in a sign) so ppl on earth will feel it close to them by august end.

this is bad for ppl with these moon signs : taurus,gemini,virgo,saggi,aqua

for rest its ok.

also ppl with mars placed in 3,6,8,12 in their charts and also if its retro will expericne financial hiccups till feb 06.
avoid taking loans, using using credit cards too much and tie up the strings of ur wallet.
