I hear (not sure, I have not researched it myself yet.) that Mars will be as visible as the full moon in the next week or so. Is anyone an Aries and are you feeling the effects yet?

If that were true, we'd ALL be feeling the effects, as Earth was wrenched from a stable orbit.

This a once or twice a year HOAX.
Mars is never and will never be as big in the sky as the moon.
"MARS HOAX: A bogus email is going around the Internet. It claims that Mars will be historically close to Earth on August 27, 2006--so close that Mars will look as large as the full Moon. This is not true. Here are the facts: On August 27th, Mars will be on the other side of the solar system, about 385 million kilometers from Earth. The red planet will look tiny and dim, nothing like a full Moon.
The "Mars Hoax" email first appeared in 2003. On August 27th of that year, Mars really did come historically close to Earth. But the email's claim that Mars would rival the Moon was grossly exaggerated. Every August since 2003, the email has staged a revival. It's as wrong now as it was then.

Aug 28th is officially Dope Slap Day.
The idea is to give a dope slap to anyone who comes in to work the morning of the 28th exhausted from standing outside looking for Mars. Those who either saw it or searched for it while standing in a pumpkin patch get a double dope slap.
Looking for Mars on Dope Slap Day Eve is more fun than snipe hunts!

No kidding you didn't research it...but you're not alone. People are asking questions about this hoax ten times a day.
I'm an Aries...but we're natural skeptics and don't believe that astrology BS. *wink*
