Scores of people were injured and at least two people, including a small child, were killed on Friday after a car ploughed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German town of Magdeburg, in what local officials are describing as a terror attack. At least 68 other people were injured, including 15 who were left in a critical state, according to the city government.
When tragic events like these occur, we seldom look for root causes of the problem because it can be difficult to identify them, requiring deeper analysis and time commitment, while it's easier to address immediate symptoms, sometimes due to pressure to find quick fixes, lack of understanding of complex systems, or a tendency to blame external factors rather than examining personal contributions to the issue.
In the quote above Jung tells us is that if we remain unconscious of our contribution to the problem or event it will occur again and we will think it is fated. On the other hand, analyzing root causes can reveal systemic issues that need to be addressed for broader change.
We begin with a chart for the date and time of the event (Dec. 20; 18:00 UT) at Madeburg and immediately notice a powerful Mars-Pluto opposition aligned with the horizon. This is a combination that astrology associates with “simmering anger that tends to explode”.
If we now draw the chart for the very important Capricorn ingress coming up, we will see the similarity of the (“hour hand” of the cosmic clock) to a chart for the event (“minute hand” of the cosmic clock).
Pluto is amid stars of Aquila, the Eagle - a raptor which aptly symbolizes tyrannical empires that prey on others through their military actions that cause death and devastation in conquered territories. So can we not expect Mars in fiery Leo retrograding opposite Pluto to bring out pent up anger?
How about we apply this to our own lives? Without realizing it many of us live according to the rules and dictates of an “invisible tyrant” (the rules of society) simply because we are afraid and do not have the courage to break free from belief systems that imprison us.
This fear is exactly what we referred to in a previous post Mars retrograde and Scarabaeus – the Dung Beetle [1]
Mars retrograde in Leo takes us into deeper areas of our creative self, true power, and driving needs,” according to astrologer Molly McCord. “Themes in Leo may reveal where you are at war with your future self, and in a losing battle based on an unhealthy self-expression.”
Mars stationed at 6 Leo (tropical), placed among the stars about of the Crab about which Nick Fiorenza writes:
The Crab, can indicate antiquated patterns, personal and collective dogmatic belief structures, and sticky modalities of being that perpetuate stasis. Alignments with Praesepe and Asellus can bring up our fears of letting go--fears bound in our belief patterns and those of collective consciousness. They can bring our attention to the possibility of being lost in our own mental obscurations--in the reasons "why not" to go forward, why not to change--in the frenetic buzz of collective mass consciousness--in the dogmas of life, whether personal or collective. Praesepe, the essence of the Scarab (the dung beetle) / Cancer theme impels our emergence out of the antiquated entrapments we had been living in, whether leaving physical dwellings or antiquated structures of consciousness. Nick Fiorenza
Of course all of us have the freedom to ignore the challenge that Mars opposite Pluto brings to us…but then that is how karma (fate) is born [2].
