Semi-quintile Sun – Mars

(Transit. Sun → Natal Mars)

Avessalom Podvodny. Aspects

Decile of the Sun: Was the creation of man a humanitarian act? This aspect poses in a person’s life the problem of humanity of their own willful actions and initiatives, as well as (usually weak) imperative influences of fate in the sphere of the Planet. In its sphere, a person will be relatively free, and they will have to regulate their will based on considerations of humanism – as they understand it. At least, the thought of humanity or this theme will arise in them in connection with (usually weakly expressed) the need to do something in the sphere of the Planetary principle or the manifestation of a certain personal initiative in it. With a harmonious Sun, these initiatives will be relevant and will seem humane, with a defeated Sun, a person will often be too active, and the result, with the best intentions, will be lamentable and discordant, especially if the affected Planet and its principle are difficult to please; in this case, external violence over their own will in the spheres of the Planet they will experience as absolutely inhumane, although the direct real harm in the spheres of the Planet will, as a rule, be small. Decile of Mars: The power of humanism spoils the appetite of a cannibal. This aspect (in idea) ennobles the Planet, making a person’s activity in its spheres humanistically directed, at least, they will have corresponding impulses, although not imperative. This aspect gives in the spheres of the Planet sensitivity to any external aggression, which a person perceives as anti-human, and also applies to their own aggression (in the spheres of the Planet), or it is impossible for them, or leads to strong pangs of conscience (if they exist). Defeat of Mars can give great activity in the spheres of the Planet, with the aim of supporting and helping a neighbor, but embodied in an unsuccessful way, too crude and inconsiderate, which leads to sharp negative consequences (a person is paid for their inappropriate and clumsy “good” with open evil, ingratitude and malice). A harmonious Mars with an affected Planet will give an intuitively correct direction of humanitarian activity (one’s own, or that of those around – for oneself), but objectively there will be great difficulties in its implementation. If the decile is harmonious, then, despite general good intentions, it will be very difficult for a person to overcome their laziness and actually do something humanitarian in the spheres of the Planet, while they themselves will receive great human support here, and it is very important to develop in oneself (initially absent) a sense of gratitude to one’s fate.
