Moon-Biquintile-Mars
(Transit Moon → Natal Mars)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Moon’s biquintile: The people do not possess the language through which their soul could be expressed. This aspect grants in the areas of the Planet a good intuitive understanding of lower forms of life, especially biological needs, if the person desires it. In its harmonious variant, it skillfully selects the landscape, food, lighting, and oxygen levels for aquarium fish, and easily finds common ground with a down-and-out alcoholic, sincerely sympathizing with him; and even if it fails to set him on the right path (which, of course, is difficult), at least emotionally warms him, feeling Moon-Venus in the process. When the Moon is afflicted, lower forms of life in the Planet’s spheres will constantly irritate the person, allowing him to vent upon them the aggression arising from entirely different causes, for example, from planets forming stressful major aspects to the Moon. In such cases, it will be difficult for him to recognize either the (at least potential) spirituality of lower life forms or (especially) the connection between their problems and imperfections and his own, although the analogy may be obvious: overweight owners most often have overweight dogs, and the evolutionary development of a family egregor is easiest to determine by its level. Mars’ biquintile: The fallen are not beaten—they are walked upon and used as doormats. This aspect grants in the Planet’s spheres activity and energy directed toward interaction with lower forms of life. Afflicted Mars makes this energy destructive, though the person will not notice this immediately; he may sincerely believe that everything emanating from him toward lower life is beneficial to it (although it, being foolish and ungrateful, often fails to understand this and attempts to protest). If the Planet itself is afflicted, the person may become a tormentor of lower life, a cruel viceroy (a more prosaic example, e.g., with Mars-Mercury biquintile—a strict schoolteacher who suppresses any manifestations of students’ vitality and is aggressively dissatisfied with their knowledge in his subject). In its harmonious variant, this aspect allows one to easily find an appropriate way to participate in the issues of lower life forms and, with minimal effort, gain significant dividends from it; however, one should not speculate on this, otherwise the opportunities for expressing and developing humanity within oneself will be irreversibly lost. Proper integration enables energetic and skillful participation in the development of imperfect life, while simultaneously allowing the individual to evolve, gaining the ability to mitigate his own lower aggressive subconscious programs by channeling energy in a more refined and constructive manner.
