Mars-Biquintile-Chiron

(Transit. Mars → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Mars biquintile: The fallen are not beaten: people walk over them and wipe their feet. This aspect imparts activity and energy in the areas of the Planet, directed toward interaction with lower forms of life. A debilitated Mars will make this energy destructive, though the person may not notice this immediately and may sincerely believe that everything emanating from them toward lower life forms benefits them (even though it, being foolish and ungrateful, often fails to understand this and attempts to protest). If the Planet is also afflicted, the individual may become a tormentor of lower life, such as a cruel governor (a more prosaic example, for instance, with Mars-Mercury biquintile—a strict schoolteacher who suppresses any expression of students’ vitality and is aggressively dissatisfied with their knowledge in their subject). In its harmonious form, this aspect allows one to easily find an appropriate way to engage with the issues of lower life forms and, with minimal effort, gain substantial dividends; however, one should not exploit this, otherwise the opportunities for expressing and developing humanity within oneself will be irreversibly lost. Working through this aspect enables energetic and skillful participation in the development of imperfect life, while simultaneously fostering personal growth, providing the opportunity to alleviate one’s own lower aggressive subconscious programs by channeling energy in a more refined and constructive manner. Chiron biquintile: A wrongdoer is also God’s vessel. Just one with a broken handle. This aspect grants in the areas of the Planet an unconventional perception of lower life forms and their problems, which, even at a superficial level, may carry deeper significance than the person initially realizes, though this is not apparent to anyone at first. If the individual begins to interact more closely with lower life, bringing purely human impulses into it, they will encounter serious problems both from that life itself and from their own involvement in it, placing them in a dead end surrounded by indescribable chaos, making it very difficult to find a way out; more precisely, this will require the person to reevaluate their views not only about lower life but also about their attitude toward it, and possibly about the issue of humanity in general. Overall, this is a highly promising aspect, as its integration allows, through participation in another’s life, understanding the peculiarities of one’s own evolutionary “tails”—that is, inadequately base subconscious programs—enabling one to see and transform them into forms more aligned with a spiritual ideal; however, first and foremost, one must learn to perceive lower life in the areas of the Planet and its problems with objective and attentive eyes, overcoming corresponding social stereotypes: a cow may not be quite a microcosm, but is still closer to a human than to a milk processing plant.
