I heard an interesting bit of trivia for astrology buffs yesterday... [View all]

The planet Neptune takes 165 years to orbit our Sun one time. It entered into the sign of Aries on January 26th, just a week ago. The last time it entered Aries was 1861, the year our Civil War began,

Further research by astrologers would say that Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of war.

Just a bit of trivia.
