On May 30, 2022 at 9.19am GMT Mars moves from south to north declination signaling the start of a new Mars cycle and a change in the polarity of the aggressive (Mars) energy impacting Earth.
Mars is the planet of strife, conflict, disputes, war, soldiers, mechanics, machines, manufacturing, police offices, fires, fire fighters, alcohol, bandits, doctors and surgery.
The cycle’s critical event period is May 27 to June 4. The strife at this time indicates an event trend that will be evident throughout the cycle.
The cycle’s end date is May 4, 2024.
The house position of Mars in a nation’s Mars cycle chart shows the area of mundane life affected by strife, violence, explosions, war, soldiers, police, fires, firefighters, athletics, intoxicants, bandits, doctors, surgery, machines, mechanics and manufacturing.
It indicates where the strife and violence is coming from and where the hazard and risk is located.
This house indicates the starting point from which emanates all the other important (Mars) events that transpire during the life of the chart.
The event trend – whether fortunate or unfortunate – is influenced by the aspects Mars receives from other planets; and the aggressive-Mars energy influences the mundane matters ruled by these planets.
Mars (strife, haste and energized effort) is conjunction Jupiter (finances, law matters and religion); sextile (fortunate opportunity) Moon (the everyday people, family life and food); sextile Sun (leaders, politics and governance); semisquare (unfortunate friction) Uranus (radical change, technology, protests and unrest); and conjunction Neptune (oil, drugs, aviation, corporations and movies).
The outstanding aspect is Mars conjunction Jupiter so the anger and harshness of Mars is somewhat tempered by the benevolence, goodwill and charity of Jupiter and the strife involves the finance sector, the courts and religion. The likelihood of diplomacy resolving conflict is pronounced.
This set-up is starkly different to the previous high-discord Mars cycle when Mars was conjunction Moon and the strife and violence impacted the everyday people who soaked up the Mars anger like a sponge and were, in some instances, fighting for their lives. Military and police misconduct was widespread and ordinary civilians were at high risk from the guns, bombs and brutality.
Due to the frequency at which progressed Mars forms aspects in its cycle chart the media reports a non-stop stream of strife-conflict events – rows, acts of violence, shootings, accidents and fires with the police, firefighters and soldiers often involved – but the more important Mars events during this Mars cycle will occur when progressed Mars forms an aspect with Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Sun, Uranus and Neptune.
Fact check Mars: ‘Even when harmonious the Mars energy tends to so much force and speed that strife of some kind will always be present in the events he brings to pass.’
