Mars enters sidereal Aries

 


The Sidereal zodiac, like the more familiar Tropical zodiac (currently used by most Western astrologers), is divided into 12 equal segments of 30° each. These divisions bear the familiar names Aries, Taurus, etc. The basic difference is that the start of the Tropical zodiac zero degrees Aries (0°^) is permanently identified with the vernal equinox, while the Sidereal zodiac is measured in a way that fixes it against the starry celestial backdrop.

In 1944, Cyril Fagan discovered the superiority of Sidereal Solar and Lunar Returns (‘Sol- lunars’) over their Tropical counterparts.  Vedic astrologers have been using the sidereal zodiac for a very long time. However, the Ayanamsha which decides the boundaries of the Sidereal zodiac was a point of debate among various practitioners. Research by Fagan and Bradley has now established the value of the Ayanamsha. It has been precisely determined by purely observational means, supported by INDEPENDENT archeological investigation.

The entry of planet into a cardinal sign is a very important event in mundane astrology. One such event of note is about to take place with Mars entering sidereal Aries on December 26. So what does it mean for current events? The answer to that is best understood if we look at the stars that form the backdrop to the start of sidereal Aries about which Nick Fiorenza writes:

The constellation Pisces is composed of the western fish, which swims westward horizontally along the ecliptic plane back toward Aquarius. The western fish articulates our primordial (and sleeping) nature, and our unconscious participation in the cycle of mortal life. It is of our priori inherited ideologies that we are born into. The eastern fish leaps upward, vertically from the ecliptic plane, seeking a greater freedom on the shores of sidereal Aries. The eastern fish articulates our desire to ascend from our primordial origins and priori ideologies, and our capacity to awaken from submersion in the tumultuous psychic emotional human world articulated by southern Cetus.

This area impels us to actualize a far greater potential and greater personal achievement, but to do so we must first release or bring to resolution any limiting mental-emotional patterns of the past. Success is accomplished both by maturing internally and aspiring externally. This may also inspire deep emotional clearing and physical cleansing, simultaneously encouraging relinquishment and attainment—the art of becoming all we can be.

In a previous post, I wrote:

We have now entered a period when Mars will be making its last pass squares to Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn. The alignment indicates a breakdown in our largest institutions (Capricorn) that starts from within the institutions themselves as an egregious overplaying of their power in ways that are clearly self-serving rather than for the greater good (Pluto), which is then furthered by an unexpected reaction(Mars) against institutional malfeasance, a seemingly spontaneous insurrection that occurs from the ground level up, fomented by individuals (Aries) who stand up in protest against the oppressive influence of such institutions (Capricorn).

On a personal level look back at  the fears that have kept us down and out. Perhaps our subservience to authorities or tradition held us back (notice the chord that ties the eastern fish to the western fish going back into Pisces waters) . Or perhaps we were not courageous enough to follow our heart’s desires. Compromising our integrity, we  may have allowed a back door vulnerability for dark force manipulation that often descended even more darkness and chaos into the situation where we had made the compromise. With Mars now entering sidereal Aries, we are  being afforded an opportunity to leave the past behind symbolized by the eastern fish jumping out of the murky Piscean waters!


PS:

A No Deal Brexit Is Now All But Certain To Happen

"Fog in channel. Continent cut off." is a famous headline that was once used in a British newspaper (or maybe not). It encapsulates the snobbish British attitude towards Europe. Some fog indeed arose in the channel today but a much denser cloud will arise from the waters on January 1.

However, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said that London and Brussels were on "a path" to a Brexit trade agreement. With  Mars entering sidereal Aries, Brexit appears certain with or without the deal. Why do we say that? The UK chart (Jan.1, 1801; 0:00 LMT London) has TNP Admetus [23cp] in the 4th house square TNP Zeus [23ar] in the 7th . The transiting Mars-Pluto square with Mars entering sidereal Aries aligns with the radix Admetus-Zeus.

The fourth house  rules everything that relates to the foundation and roots of our existence. Campion and Harvey suggest nationalism, the ideology which represents love of the land. While the seventh house rules partnerships, treaties and agreements with other nations [2].

Therefore a 4th -7th square can manifest as a divorce from a partner because the UK may decide nationalism is more important than partnership with the EU.
