Explainer: Forecast periods in global astrology
Mars is the planet of war and conflict and observation reveals that when the level of Mars energy in the Aquarian Age chart escalates there’s a corresponding increase in the level of anger, disputation and animosity here on Earth: and that war thoughts and war talk are very inclined to erupt into violence, death and destruction when Mars is active in the sky.
On October 7, 2023 hostilities erupted between Israel and Gaza.
A web search reveals that the war between Israel and Gaza is a conflict that has been ongoing since 1967, when Israel seized Gaza during the Six-Day War. Since then hostilities have broken out regularly; and the current conflict – mapped by progressed Mars conjunction birth chart Saturn and parallel progressed Pluto in the Aquarian Age chart and time by Mars square Pluto in the sky and progressed Mars inconjunct Mercury in the Mars cycle – is playing out against the backdrop of centuries old religious tensions, failed attempts to find a satisfactory solution, and increased Israeli military raids with Palestinian territories.
The Israeli-Hamas war is a global hazard. Nation’s are taking sides. Humanity is divided. Israel’s death, destruction and distress in Gaza are escalating the hate and animosity. The threat (Pluto) of the war escalating and spilling over into a broader conflict involving other countries in the region – Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria, Egypt, Iran and Qatar – is a hot topic. World leaders and diplomats are working to free the hostages and resolve the conflict peacefully.
Nothing is inevitable but the immediate future is riddled with hazard.
In December 2023 Mars and Pluto dominate. Pluto is parallel Mars in the Pluto cycle; and Mars is parallel Pluto in the Mars cycle (December 10), semisquare Pluto (December 13), and parallel Pluto in the sky (December 16). Progressed aspects involving Mars in the Mars cycle release energy that’s inclined to stimulate the fighting and on December 28 Mars is square Neptune – planet of planes and drones – in the sky.
And these hot-harsh astrological weather conditions are impacting a region seething with anger, hate and animosity: and fighters who are willing to fight and die for what they believe in.
