While I'm excited at being able to actually *see* Mars and that it's coming closer to Earth than it ever has *in recorded history* (wouldn't Linda be excited to see her ruling planet so?)...I wonder how this will affect us astronomically?

Lately, I've been noticing that I've been in an unexplainable bad mood. Just very aggressive and snappish. I couldn't figure out why - then I read about this upcoming Mars opposition. If Mars is truly going to be that close to Earth, would that not make it's affect on us even stronger?

What is everyone's thoughts on this...

The unseen, the unknown, the mystery - this is what drives me; propels me forward on new journeys as dark corners of my mind are lit with the evergrowing bright light of my enlightened soul.

its going to be a VERY interesting month bendis. mars is hardly a subtle planet.

in my natal chart mars is in cap... so that makes a trine *whoops meant sextile doh*. i have to wonder what this time is going to bring as i have a lot of heavy activity at this moment with respect to transits. mars is in my 2nd house, the house of other peoples money, and i have a whole whack of transitting planets in my 8th... i havent thought about it much but it makes me wonder if someones going to die this month in my family. i try not to look at those sorts of things... but ive had a feeling for a couple of months in the back of my head that i might best prepare for a loss coming up. my t mars is square n neptune in the 11th, and opposed saturn in my 4th. i have wondered if this might mean my dad might die. obviously i hope not, although we do have a lot of stress in our relationship... i still do love him and just wish he could be bloody happy for once rather than always negative (scorp dad). ugh. i just noticed its trine my pars fortuna too. i wonder what *thats* going to do. it looks to me like i am going to benefit through someone else... with transitting venus sun jupiter and moon in my 8th on 27 of august... i wonder what that means. *feels perhaps she should look into this more closely*

for obvious reasons i dont really want to look into that too much but when i did glance at my transits for the day where mars will be closest to us i had to wonder.

definitely though the closeness of mars is something that will affect us. mars isnt all about bad things though, mars can give us the strength to get through things that hold us back. all things have positive and negatives, for instance saturn also rewards us for work we have done, as he also is a taskmaster. i dont know what to make about this month but i will accept whatever happens and deal with it and move on, as i do with all things.

i just hope its nothing awful

Hi Bendis
Here's a link to a discussion re Mars that you may find interesting.

PS: Here in London we're currently having a real heatwave ...they are forecasting temperatures of 100 degrees this week (which is an all time record for London). I think that's interesting considering Mars is rapidly approaching it's closet contact to Earth that we've had for a long time.

These mars transits dont affect me in the same way as everyone else for some reason, but my energy levels are all over the place and highly erratic right now.

Thanks, Cat, for the link - gave me a lot more info on all that's going on.

Yes, I think Mars is going to be a great force - for good *and* a little bad; but it's all very exciting. Maybe Mars will give me the little extra strength and "push" I need to finally overcome my knee problem.

hi mutable fire

ill make a post about it soon. ive been a bit preoccupied with other things.

whats going to occur is a rare configuration in the sky. it involves a grand sextile pattern, which is basically two grand trines. it only appears if you use chiron, so you have to be one of those people that do. its commonly referred to as the 'harmonic concordance chart' or also the 'chart heard round the world'.

ill post more on it when the time is right. its got massive implications though, one of which involves israel. look to the middle east, there will be what my wise friend calls 'unparallelled bloodshed' there.

i dont mean to share doom and gloom, know that this will also undoubtedly have good effects too... its just that the world has to change, we arent doing very well right now, and i believe that this rare celestial configuration is the catalyst. add to that this mars activity... changes afoot. thats the best i can do to explain right now, sorry. ill have more later.

My husband and I saw Mars in the sky last night with our naked eyes - we don't have a telescope!! It looked beautiful - what an inspiration to be alive at this time to see it.

Love and Peace,
Sunmeadow Glades.

I pray that a peaceful solution is found to the problems in the middle East, one that is satisfactory to both sides

Astrological Sidebar from the SEDONA Journal of EMERGENCE! MAY 2003
Part of the article by John Mirehiel, “Is the Moment of the Great Shift at Hand?”


*When affording Chiron planetary status, the Concordance alignment contains a near perfect Grand Sextile/Star of David pattern in the feminine Earth and Water signs, featuring five masculine planets – the Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Chiron, along with the Moon. The interaction of these six specific astrological metaphors combines to hold the perfectly appropriate and balanced energies to produce the effect of a planetary shift in consciousness.

*The Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus/Scorpio provides a focal point for the potential alchemical transformation of physical reality as we know it.

*Its total Lunar Eclipse is in Saros Series 5 New South. It is the one that has been referred to as “the best” of the Saros Series by Bernadette Brady.

*Combining the Earth/Water Grand Sextile and the total Lunar Eclipse, research of the 4,000-year span between 1,000 BC and 3,000 CE shows only one other date with this configuration, especially when considering the following:

*Mercury changes degree during the eclipse, reinforcing its duality and giving it two Sabian Symbols;

*Venus is in a rare triple conjunction with the Goddesses Juno and Vesta [partile within 7’ of Vesta], and is conjunct by Declination with Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom;

*Mars emerges from its shadow and thereby ends its complete retrograde period on this day. [It goes retro at 10 Pis 07 on 7/30 and returns to 10 Pis 07 on 11/8]. [Note also that in August of 2003, Mars makes its closest approach to earth in some 76,000 years];

*Uranus is arguably at its most powerful day in its entire 84+ year zodiacal cycle on this day [reaching its 8th and final stationary direct at 28 Aqu 54 on that morning;

*The Ascendant and Moon in the Uranus discovery chart are conjunct to the Harmonic Concordance Moon, further amplifying the presence of the Uranus’ higher mind channel during the Concordance moment;

*Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are conspicuous by their absence in the Grand Sextile, highlighting the importance of individual choice in seizing the moment.

*The Sabian Symbols for the six Grand Sextile planets, as well as those for Venus, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, all support the specific idea of transformation, both materially and spiritually. Mercury’s two symbols are distinctly intellectual in nature.

*Those interested in the esoteric will find it relevant that both Sirius and the Pleiades make important connections to the chart.*

The total lunar eclipse of November 8/9, 2003 reveals a moment in time with echoes that are at least as provocative as the August, ’99 Solar Eclipse and potentially more potent than the "cosmic stampede" in Taurus in May of 2000 or of any of a host of other "important" dates projected for 2003.

We have called this moment of attunement The Harmonic Concordance. We believe that it opens an energetic "stargate" to the Ascension of Mother Earth, and to each of her inhabitants. Many have called the attainment of this paradigm the Shift of Ages.

We also know that this gate has always been open, to those willing to step through it. Although this chart depicts a moment in our future, the energies embodied in it can also be used to show us how to activate that moment right NOW.

Like its spiritual ancestor, the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, The Harmonic Concordance of 2003 also is a call to the Spirit of Humankind to awaken to the idea that we are, in fact, Spiritual beings sharing a physical experience. Consequently, ceremonies and celebrations in honor of this idea are now being scheduled at multiple sacred sites and pilgrimage places throughout the world.

According to NASA and the Goddard Space Flight Center, on the evening of August 27th, 1998, a "magnetar," a super dense neutron star some 26,000 light years away from us, imploded. A burst of gamma rays from the magnetar SGR 1900+14 struck the Earth's ionosphere while the west coast was in night time and the east coast was in day light. The pulse lasted about 5 minutes, during which it released the energy that is the equivalent to that which would be emitted by the Sun in 300,000 years. That burst of energy had the effect of suppressing the level of the Earth's nighttime ionosphere down to a day-like level above the roughly 4,000 mile slice of the planet which was exposed to the magnetar’s emissions. Radio transmissions were seriously affected, and many orbital satellites even went into their fail-safe modes, shutting down in order to protect their sensitive instrumentation. In radio astronomy, it was a very big deal.

Umran Inan, an internationally respected Astronomer from Stanford University, was quoted as saying, “It is extremely rare for an event occurring outside the solar system to have any measurable effect on the Earth.”

The pertinent data is as follows:

Date: 11/8/2003,
Time: 08:12:41 EST,
Place: Middle Island, NY

eclipse lyrics by apoptygma berzerk


As we dwell inside the safe zones that we've made
Where nothing but earthly pleasures seems to matter
The only light we see is from the screens
No will to feel or explore the forgotten dimensions

Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still for a moment
And I guess we will be making history
When we all join hands just to watch the sky
(For a moment)

Our selfish lives have made us all go blind
One day we'll awake by a bright light on the horizon
In one second every eye will see the same
And this blinding light will draw all our attention

Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still for a moment
For the very first time and it's meant to be
We'll forget about ourselves and share the moment
(For a moment)
