quote:
Key Words: The Mars stamina pulled towards the inner universe. The Black Moon, with its metaphysical depth and its intimate relationship to the deepest of the human psyche, can significantly modify the significance of Mars in a chart. It adds an occult dimension to it. It makes the native more likely to use his/her Mars energy to work on himself/herself and explore inner worlds rather than only being concerned with external things and the material world. It can give a strong need to follow a spiritual path and explore the hidden mysteries of existence rather than just being engaged in materialistic pursuits.
Mars retrograde would very much reinforce this point.
Conjunction, opposition, square and trine:
But at times, the pull towards the depth of the psyche can also result in a paralysis of the Mars stamina, caused by deep unresolved conflicts. Profound inner upheavals can then make the native go through phases of an 'eclipsed Mars', losing their sense of direction and being unable to achieve in the world.
This is a general characteristic about the Black Moon: to those who are in touch with the depth of themselves, it gives sharpness and adds even further depth. But to those who are disconnected from their own depth, it can creates crises of great magnitude.
The conjunction and the opposition, in particular, give sharp astral energy in plenty and are excellent aspects for becoming an ISIS practitioner, to explore the depth of the human subconscious, or to deal with occult matters.
I was actually looking this up earlier, I have mars square lilith. It's always been harder for me to grasp my mars; I'm pretty sure it's because it's in the 12th-- anyway I found this and thought it was insightful. It resonated a bit with me, maybe it will with you.
