Semi-Sextile Mars – Uranus
(Transit Mars → Natal Uranus)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Semi-Sextile Mars: Which planet symbolizes aggression in Martian astrology? This aspect requires a partial shift toward cosmic vibrations in the individual’s personal energy, which primarily means the subtlety of active actions—something that appears contradictory to the coarseness of earthly reality and brings a person at a low level of processing a great deal of unpleasantness, not only of a metaphysical nature: rigid resistance to evil is unethical according to cosmic law. However, in the spheres of the planet, the individual will realistically encounter not so much external evil as internal evil, and moreover, one that is socially induced, since here the person is initially attuned to cosmic energy that is incomprehensible and often unacceptable to the collective subconscious. Processing occurs through mastering, comprehending, and internally accepting the cosmic vibrations and cosmic ethics of active actions available to the person, which gradually proves to be a more effective protection against the aggression of the external world than initially expected. However, in this case—especially with Mars afflicted—it is more difficult to rid oneself of internal aggression toward the world and oneself, both overt and repressed, since the semi-sextile demands sterling purity in this regard; initially, it is present, but gradually disappears, creating a sensation of internal disharmony and rigidity that the individual does not quite understand, as in this case, they are judged not by humanity but by the Cosmos.
Semi-Sextile Uranus: The Last Judgment is not quite the right definition. It is cosmic. This is a difficult aspect to process (here, Uranus is in detriment), but most often it manifests in minor, fleeting flashes of cosmic enlightenment that the person pays no attention to. A strong activation of Uranus can trigger this semi-sextile, and then the person finds themselves under the strong influence of a cosmic egregore, having been, as a rule, unprepared for it. If the semi-sextile connects Uranus with a planet of the fourth level, this indicates a sudden activation of cosmic karma, and the person is swept into a current over which they have no control and, as a rule, do not understand what is happening—only humility and a higher spiritual orientation can help here. If, however, the active semi-sextile of Uranus involves a lower planet, the individual can attempt to rise to the level of cosmic perception of what is happening in its spheres, and then the signs of fate may speak in a language that, if not entirely human, is at least comprehensible to the person. In this case, the Uranian crisis can be overcome and sometimes even deciphered and practically implemented in the form of excessive Uranian revelations; fortunately, they rarely take the form of direct blows of fate, but with a strong affliction of Uranus, a brief but complete exit beyond the boundaries of earthly perception is possible, which externally appears as madness.
