Mars-Uranus Sesquiquadrate

(Transit Mars → Natal Uranus)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Mars sesquiquadrate: In general, relationships have formed, if what resulted can be called relationships, and what occurred—addition. This person finds it difficult in the areas of the Planet to direct their energy with flexible responsiveness to circumstances and to react subtly to external force. Foreign aggression provokes in them a counter-response, often inadequate in intensity and relevance. At the same time, they may not react for a long time to weak influences, then suddenly, in response to a minor irritation—the drop that overflows an entirely unrelated cup—explode with outrage: subjectively perhaps justified, but objectively unjust. This person will suffer from the coarseness, energy, and aggression of the external world directed at them; it will be difficult for them to deal with these in a sufficiently civilized manner. At the same time, their aggressive instincts in the areas of the Planet will be especially coarse and poorly controlled, and their activity will often, unnoticed by themselves, take on harsh forms. For example, an unprocessed Mars-Saturn sesquiquadrate brings, along with vulnerability to aggression, rigidity in demands toward others, which may reach intransigence; such a person needs to understand that high demands toward others are usually subconsciously motivated by dissatisfaction with oneself, and become aware of their own failures and shortcomings. Here, working through the aspect provides perfect tools and enables operation at high vibrational levels of energy. Uranus sesquiquadrate: God does not wish His existence to be established by scientific methods, as they seem to Him insufficiently convincing. This aspect gives in the areas of the Planet a somewhat clumsy approach to Uranian revelations—that is, the person processes them crudely and without proper respect, as a result of which they usually perish, just as do Uranian signs. For example, a Moon-Uranus sesquiquadrate offers the potential for subtle diagnosis of one’s own (and others’) physical illnesses, and at a higher level, the person may learn to use their body as the finest diagnostic instrument for physical fields, to predict earthquakes, etc., but all this requires great effort, particularly careful study of one’s biological reactions and their interpretation as reflections of external physical reality, and sometimes of one’s own karma. At a low level, the Uranus sesquiquadrate brings in the area of the Planet unexpected whims and stubbornness, adherence to often awkward ideas poorly suited to solving relevant problems—in unprocessed form, this is the aspect of mad inventors with incomplete education; at a high level, inventions succeed, and the person may create astonishing devices, tools, and methods far ahead of their time, but the true meaning of their discoveries will most likely remain incomprehensible to them.
