Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hello, In regard to the fact that this week Mars is closest to Earth since 60 000 years and more (the last time it was in 57617 BC), here are some points, related to qigong and Chinese medicine: In Chinese, Mars is called " the Fire Planet " , as it corresponds to the fire element. In the ancient astrological treatises it is written that the main property of Mars is to cleanse away the evil forces and make justice for those who have violated the natural laws. Its energy is very purifying for everyone. For some people Mars will play a definitely positive role, while for others - not so good. Why is this? It is important to know what element (wood, fire, earth, metal or water) is represented in one's heavenly stem of the birthday. For example, for those who have wood, earth or fire element, Mars will have the most beneficial effect, because according to the Teaching of the Five Elements and the Cycle of Generation of the Elements, the wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and so on. These elements are in harmony with the fire energy of Mars. From another point of view, the Mars' influence will be most unfavorable to the peoples with metal element (the metal as their heavenly stem in their day of birth). It is logical: according to the Cycle of Destruction of the Elements, the fire destroys (controls) the metal. Of course, these destructive force of Mars' fire energy will not be so forcefull if in one's horoscope there is at least one water element (the water controls the action of the fire). One more thing: as fire destroys the metal, and the metal corresponds to the lungs and the large intestine, we can expect increase of respiratory and intestinal diseases this Fall (dominated by the metal element), and also in the recent few years. Perhaps, most of you have already felt how intense is the energy in the air and in the ody. Some people mention that they are feeling much more refreshed and revitalized, some say that they sleep less than usually. We should not forget that Mars has a Yang energy, and thus it activates the Yang energy in the body. Let's take this rare chance to get some pure Yang energy from Mars - especially in the evening and night hours you can mentally connect with Mars and meditate. It does not matter what is your personal element - Mars will enrich you with new components in your energy and will give you even more powers and vitality.
