New evidence supports the theory that Mars may have been the home to life forms at one time:
NASA researchers want to determine whether the planet could support, or ever has supported, life. The nutrients are among a few positive indicators they have gleaned since the Phoenix Mars Lander began collecting and testing soil samples last month. Early findings, including ice crystals and nutrients, point toward water — the chemical basis for life.
Phoenix co-investigator William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead TEGA scientist, called the data “spectacular.”
“At this point, we can say that the soil has clearly interacted with water in the past,” he said. “We don’t know whether that interaction occurred in this particular area in the northern polar region, or whether it might have happened elsewhere and blown up to this area as dust.”

For years scientists have speculated that Mars was formerly a wet planet. Some UFO-logists and conspiracy theorists have hypothesized that life on earth was seeded from Mars when the planet ran out of water and its inhabitants relocated to a lusher, greener planet. We now have evidence that leaky seas could render the Earth as dry as Mars (this will be in a billion years so there’s no need to panic just yet!).
What pleases me is the ever-growing pool of evidence that what seemed far-fetched ten years ago (life on Mars) is no longer so far-fetched. As we shift into the Aquarian Age our minds will have to expand to accommodate new paradigms of information and reality!

They’ve acknowledged that there is no sign yet of simple organic carbon compounds, which is another crucial piece of the jigsaw that needs to there

On the other hand, who says that “life” has to be carbon-based

I felt there was something to Zacharia Sitchen’s research, which mean we could be descendents of those upon Mars, and perhaps those of other planets in other Galaxies not yet known. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised. Granted, they may not be simular to us, and live in different type of atmosphere than earth. Certainly us astrologers, know there is something extremely deep on just the fact these planets influence our life here. Its really fascinating, and I love Astrology
