Mars leaving Capricorn

[Guest guest]

Hello Folks,

 

Here are a few thoughts about the recent trek of Mars

through Capricorn. (Sidereal Zodiac)

 

Yesterday Mars was at his highest point of exultation,

28° of Capricorn. The last several days / the last

week could have been very intense, with volatility,

frustration and erupting emotions. This is due to a

powerful Saturn/Mars opposition that occurred through

much of last week. Yet there has been real creative

possibility with these frustrations and eruptions.

 

Mars is the planet of strength. His influence is to

strengthen us in one way or another. His transit

through Capricorn, his sign of exultation is always a

time where we the can take powerful action, usually to

strengthen an area of life where we have been

fearfully clinging to some sense of worldly security.

A fearful clinging to worldly security are the lower

traits of Capricorn. For you see, not only does

Capricorn exalt Mars, but Mars resurrects Capricorn.

It works like this.

 

Mars is the planet of action, in the moment. He is

impatient, immediate, black-and-white - just like the

nature of our actions. We’re only doing one thing at a

time. We are directed toward a goal. This is the

nature of Mars, reaching the goal as directly and

quickly as possible. Mars is also a Tamasic planet,

motivated to remove suffering by destroying obstacles

in our way. The nature of Mars is destruction, which

is not necessarily bad — it all depends on what we are

destroying. If we are destroying obstacles in our way,

Mars is very useful and we become strengthened in the

process. We learn to take care of ourselves and to

fight the right battles and align our energy toward a

worthy goal. However, we may also destroy the wrong

things, the things we hope would bring us happiness

and peace, like our relationships with people, or our

peace of mind for instance. Mars is not very good with

people and complexity of any sort.

 

Capricorn is the sign of our tangible, worldly fears

and the stress and worry caused by them. Capricorn is

ruled by Saturn, the planet of our fears. Capricorn is

a female sign, which shows these fears internalized,

personalized and reflect upon. Saturn is the planet of

longevity and time unfolding. Saturn brings the

awareness of time unfolding, which is the root source

of all fear. Once we become aware of time, we become

aware of limitation and the need for structure. All of

these things are related to Saturn. For example, when

we are living in the present moment we can simply

enjoy our meal, enjoy the day in a carefree manner.

But once we become aware that we will need to eat

every day, not just today — we need a place to sleep

not just tonight but every night, suddenly seriousness

sets in, a sense of responsibility — a fear. This fear

makes us grow up and be responsible for ourselves. In

many ways, how we handle fear shows our true mettle,

the true depth of our character. All of our personal

insecurities and shortcomings become exposed during

this process.

 

Through the sign of Capricorn we will put into place a

structure that will be the container for our life. Yet

our life may be lived simply in hopes of avoiding

pain, rather than growing toward the truth. We all

must face the painful psychological complexes that are

unearthed through Capricorn if we were to grow beyond

our material terrors.

 

The courageous and impulsive nature of Mars operates

perfectly through the cautious, patient nature of

Capricorn. For the last month and a half those darker,

fearful parts of our psyche have been focused on and

strengthened, not by theory or ideas, but by action —

courageous action. We’ve been taking powerful action

not simply aligned with the moment, but oriented

toward a long-term goal, an important goal. When faced

with the possibility of just mechanically lashing out

at people, we have waited, reflected, and been a

little more willing to consider the possibility that

our problems are mainly internal and not with the

objects of our anger. This reflection has clarified

our confusion around these internal/external issues.

We are reaching the point where we are certain which

external situations need to be changed in our life and

which psychological, internal ones need to be

addressed. Having these realizations, we are ready to

take the proper action to strengthen our inner self

and better orient our outer world to facilitate that

growth. This is a powerful process that has likely

brought about greater maturity. Yes, we feel like were

growing up now.

 

best wishes,

Sam (Sadasiva)
