Mars-Uranus Quincunx

(Transit. Mars → Natal Uranus)

Avesalom Podvodnyi. Aspects

Mars quincunx: The power of evil is evident; the power of good can be judged by the indirect sign that evil has not yet completely triumphed. This aspect creates in the areas of the planet a problem of interaction between energy on earthly and cosmic vibrations; at a low level, a person will often lack earthly forms of energy, while poorly mastering cosmic ones, resulting in certain breakdowns. For example, a Mars-Moon quincunx may give the talent of a healer masked by abilities in ordinary linear massage, which, however, the person will perform in a somewhat unusual way—particularly, their hands in critical situations will move almost by themselves, provided they are able to trust them. The latter, however, is not at all simple, since the subconscious (both personal and collective) usually does not trust intuition, let alone movements accompanied by unusual energetic vibrations. The Mars quincunx poses in the planet’s spheres the issue of the level of active energy, meaning, in particular, the necessity of precisely choosing its forms and no less precise control over one’s inner energetics, since the quincunx emphasizes the cosmic unacceptability of coarse emotional states and mere instinctual energy expressions. For instance, with a Venus-Mars quincunx, relatively crude but socially quite adequate manifestations of love will appear absolutely unacceptable to the person from a cosmic perspective, about which the Cosmos will inform them, sometimes through rather peculiar methods. In one way or another, the person will eventually become convinced that in love they must be very, very cautious—yet celebrated, though not cautious enough, and celebrated. When properly worked through, which primarily requires viewing the beloved as a spiritual being, the person will prove capable of very intimate, subtle, and deep relationships and interactions. Uranus quincunx: Science, being unable to disprove the Divine Being, with complete certainty establishes the presence of the devil, being in fact his own insidious device. This aspect brings in the planet’s spheres cosmic revelations which will seem absolutely insane to an unprepared person, since to understand them even minimally one must adopt a cosmic point of view and then long interpret them in relation to earthly conditions. When this aspect is actively triggered, it is dangerous for the individual, and sometimes, especially with a well-aspected Uranus, for those around, as it provides a direct transmission of cosmic karma into an unprepared or poorly prepared earthly consciousness. If Uranus is afflicted, mental disorders may occur, related to difficulties in the psyche’s adaptation to cosmic vibrations; the processing here proceeds through recognizing the limitations of one’s earthly ethics and developing a cosmic perspective on the planet’s spheres, after which the person proves able to resolve, with the help of the Cosmos, the most difficult earthly karmic knots and create new channels of cooperation with extraterrestrial egregores. For example, a well-integrated Jupiter-Uranus quincunx may produce a cosmic philosopher with unexpected revelations regarding the structure of the Universe and world karma. At a low level, this aspect may produce eccentric, wild, or insane ideas parodying cosmic philosophy, incomprehensible to anyone (including the person themselves); at best, they will pay no attention to them, at worst—they will insist, especially by overturning the authority of the classics, which, however, inevitably fails when substantiating, for example, a selenocentric worldview.
