Progressions in global – mundane – astrology refer to the daily transit positions of the planets in the sky; and events mapped in the Mars cycle occur as progressed Mars by transit forms aspects with the planets, ascendant or Midheaven in a chart.
The chief aspects to track are the high powered conjunction, parallel, opposition, square and trine; and important strife, conflict, violence, accident and fire events will occur when progressed Mars forms an aspect in his cycle chart.
Event forecasting and timing
The reliable forecasting of future events and developments in the Mars cycle involves a detailed assessment of the cycle chart, the house position of Mars, the aspects formed by Mars, its potential for harmony or discord plus a clear understanding of the environmental setting in which the Mars energy is expressing.
Events occur as transit Mars in the sky aspects the planets in the chart.
The most important events will occur when progressed Mars aspects a planet that it aspects in its cycle chart; or a planet in the chart that has a high astrodyne score. Events bear the characteristics of Mars and are defined by the house positions of these planets.
Important events often occur when progressed Mars forms a conjunction, opposition, square or trine aspect with another planet in the chart.
Mars regularly forms aspects in its cycle chart and hundreds of Mars events occur every day. They’re the shootings, bombings, murders, robberies, fights, rows, accidents and fires. Most are inconsequential, some have national importance, but one will always stand out and grab the news media’s attention. That’s the one that will be clearly identified by an aspect in the Mars cycle chart.
But ‘even when harmonious the Mars energy tends to so much force and speed that strife of some kind will always be present in the events it brings to pass.’
Tracking Mars events
It’s easy to track and tag a Mars event with its marker in the Mars cycle chart using reliable news services. They occur when progressed Mars forms an aspect in its cycle chart; and the regularity at which these aspects occur explains why strife and violence events, shootings, murders, robberies, fights, accidents and fires regularly make the headlines – if it bleeds it leads.
But the reporting of a Mars event doesn’t explain its importance, relevance or harmony or discord. Heroes are fighting poverty and disease but it’s the violence, accident and disaster events that grab the headlines. The media and public are energized by excitement and sensation.
Social progress takes place when conflicts are resolved and injustices are righted and in a world with so much conflict and injustice Mars represents the energetic effort, forceful enterprise and aggressive action to fight for what’s right. Its energy, initiative and resilience expressing through human actors overcomes problems and builds a better world.
