^Message from Mars for the Month of the Crab, June 21 through July 22^
Mars in the monthly chart is conjoined to Mercury and both square Uranus. Those are its only aspects. (This is the chart for the midpoint of the month, which I believe to be the best way of doing it based on years of research.) It is in Leo (though still in Cancer at this moment of writing, until July 1). This is an "antsy" aspect--impatient, in a hurry, demanding, and sometimes selfish to the point of cruelty. We need to avoid that, of course. Leo at its worst is arrogant (Mussolini for example) and Mars square Uranus is even violent at its worst. You may sense that people around you are impatient and demanding, or if introspective may see that in yourself.
The Sabian symbol is "A man formally dressed and a deer with its horns folded." It indicates morale based on self-respect plus the ability to gain esteem. No doubt this is what the 20 Democratic presidential candidates want for themselves during the two debate nights this week. You may find that when you are up against things your spine straightens. You get your back up and sense implicit strength and self-respect, enabling you to "fight" or keep on keeping on, bringing out your unique capacities (Uranus) no matter what obstacles there seem to be.
Charubel gives "A carrier's wagon, with tarpaulin overhead." This is a nineteenth-century image, colorful. It signifies someone engaged in business or commerce, selling or buying, and on the move. "The grass is not allowed to grow beneath his feet." He is always engaged in what is useful, and takes in at a glance what is advantageous or not advantageous. We may be able to do that successfully.
Mars square Uranus problems are: A refusal to be diplomatic or maneuver or negotiate. We want our own way at all costs. Energy is fitful, maybe ill-directed. We could be fretful or erratic, blunt, abrupt, or irritable. There could be attacks on our morals or honor. We might take too many risks, or overwork. Accidents are possible.
We know our own minds well, and so have energy, vigor, and decisiveness. If we avoid disasters caused by traits in the preceding paragraph, we can succeed through strength and courage. (Thanks to CEO Carter for some of this insight.)
Signor Borelli's symbol is "A cat upon the watch for prey." This accords with the individualism and selfishness of the Mars-Uranus square. But Sepharial (interpreting the symbol) says it gives some of the very things that square does not give, namely, a prudent, patient mind which sustains fatigue in accomplishing its desires. The cat has to be careful lest it jump toward the prey at the wrong moment and so jinx itself.
The "prey" might be not only money or material gain but erotic satisfaction or a pleasing connection with someone, and the cat might be someone else or yourself, you the prey or the cat. The Sabian symbol shows that you and the other both feel you have irresistible charisma or mana or morale and so who knows what could happen? Still, that square it intense, so it is wise to be careful.
