Progressed Mars moved to form a conjunction aspect with birth chart Mercury on June 9, 2017 > peak power date was January 11, 2019 > and the Washington Post posed the question: ‘How much did the British tabloids’ (Mercury) brutal coverage (Mars) of Harry and Meghan influence their decision (Mercury) to ‘step back’? The aspect ends August 15, 2020.
