These in-sky Mars conjunctions in 2024 will have a powerful influence on global affairs. They’ll bring the matters ruled by both planets into prominence. They do not forecast inevitable events. They incline towards events – facilitated by conditions here on Earth – of international and national importance. They can start a war or escalate the fighting in the war zones.

An in-sky Mars conjunction chart is constructed for a nation’s administrative capital and the house position of the Mars conjunction indicates the area of mundane life that will be chiefly influenced by strife and conflict.

The level of discord and strife can be measured but it’s impossible to convert the numbers into real-life events here on Earth.

Events can occur within an aspect’s time frame: approximately two weeks before and after its peak power date. The aspects peak power date does not indicate the day on which a major event can be expected to occur although it will be close.

Humanity battles on and makes progress through strife, conflict and bitter struggle.
