Semi-Sextile Mars – Jupiter

(Transit Mars → Natal Jupiter)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Semi-Sextile Mars: Which planet symbolizes aggression in Martian astrology? This aspect requires, for its realization, a partial transition to the cosmic vibrations of a person’s personal energy, which primarily means the subtlety of active actions that appear to contradict the coarseness of earthly reality and brings a person, at a low level of processing, a multitude of troubles not only of a metaphysical nature: rigid resistance to evil is unethical by cosmic standards. However, in the spheres of the Planet, a person will realistically have to face not so much external evil as internal evil, moreover, socially induced, since here a person is initially tuned to cosmic energy, 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 a person, which gradually proves to be a more effective protection against the aggression of the external world than initially expected. However, here, especially in the case of Mars’ affliction, it is more difficult to rid oneself of internal aggression toward the world and oneself, both overt and repressed, since the semi-sextile demands sterility and purity in this regard; initially, it is present, but gradually disappears, creating a feeling of internal disharmony and rigidity that is not entirely clear to a person, which is connected to the fact that in this case, she is judged not by humanity but by the Cosmos.

Semi-Sextile Jupiter: A priori categories are given to a person as a reminder of her cosmic origin. At a high level of processing, this aspect provides distant exits to extraterrestrial karmic programs, meaning breakthroughs in understanding the nature of things and creation, and weaving threads of cosmic harmony into earthly karma after overcoming the geocentric internal position. Depending on the nature of the planet forming the semi-sextile to Jupiter and its position in the horoscope, this could manifest as philosophers or writers (Mercury), artists (Venus), mystics (Neptune), scientists (Uranus), etc. In any case, this person will reveal something previously unseen to people, cautiously adapting and carefully, so as not to destroy the improbable beauty, integrating it within themselves and attempting to hear the subtlest resonance of world harmony deep within. At a low level, this aspect can lead to contempt for all things earthly, but cosmic plans will initially be felt very weakly by the person, so the aspect will mainly manifest as a broad, superficial interest in cosmic aspects of the Planet’s spheres and attempts at petty philosophy, albeit with greater pretensions to significance. In a harmonious variant, possible sources of cosmic grace may exist, but at a level so limited that the person is unlikely to notice it.
