Astrologist have long known the effect that planets have on people. Mars is known as the planet of war for good reason. It was destroyed by the people who lived on it when they damaged it through their war like behaviour.
And now it is coming close and surely that increases it´s effect upon us. I personally feel like punching someone in the face and I know it is because Mars is so close. 
Mars ready for another close-up this weekend
AP
Los Angeles, October 28, 2005
For the second time in nearly 60,000 years, the Red Planet will swing unusually close to Earth this weekend, appearing as a yellow twinkle in the night sky.
Mars’ latest rendezvous will not match its record-breaking approach to Earth in 2003, when it hovered from 35 million miles away.
But more skygazers this time around can glimpse the it because it will glow above the horizon.
On Saturday, Mars’ orbit will bring it 43.1 million miles away from Earth, with its closest pass scheduled for 11:25 pm EDT.
The two planets — normally separated by about 140 million miles — will not be this close again until 2018.
Mars will still seem small to the naked eye, appearing about the size of a penny seen from 620 feet away.
It will be at its brightest this weekend, and no other celestial body will be as luminous.
