EYE ON THE SKY: MARS IN PUNARVASU June 26-July 15th
Mars transited into one of my favorite constellations, Punarvasu (Gemini 20-Cancer 3.20) know by Western astronomers as Castor and Pollux. Punarvasu means “the return of the light” and has the divine ability to bring spiritual light into darknes and it reflects purity, satya (truth) and strong moral values.It’s shakti or power is “the ability to gain wealth or abundance”. The main deity is Aditi, the Cosmic Mother, who bestows her creative abundance on all who seek her blessings. This lunar mansion is ruled by the planet Jupiter, the great benefic.
Mars finds strength and courage through this transit and connects with Jupiter both by aspects between dual signs, from Gemini/Virgo but also by channeling Jupiter’s strong energy. Jupiter is particularly strong most of July into August 4th being in the Cancer pada of Virgo (exalted at 20.00-23.20) and there will be a strong exchange of nakshatra energy between Mars and Jupiter. This will bring courage that Mars will find to search deep for answers which is a perfect very Gemini and curious probing mission.
This constellation provides nourishment and nurturing after the tough storms of Ardra (Gemin 6.40-20.00) It creates contentment and grounding energy but sometimes lacks foresight which leads to complications and adventures. If you were born with the Sun, Moon or Ascendent in this constellation, you have the qualities of a universal caregiver and are very generous.
The mythology is fascinating with Castor and Pollux with one brother naughty and cruel and the other one wise and generous. Sometimes we have to fall in our face first with mistakes to gain wisdom in the future. Events happen in pairs with this transit so if you fall, pick yourself up with new wisdom and move forward.
The constellation is connected to the merchant caste and will support courage in business during its transit until mid-July. We think that the stock market will like the transit as Mars/Jupiter connections often support risk-taking and investing.
The only negative is the brief transit of Mercury through this constellation until July 3rd as Jupiter and Mercury are enemies and Mercury is afflicting Mars and causing disputes. Still Mercury takes on the positive energy of Jupiter and usually supports writing and deep thoughtful expression and intellectual pursuit. So a good transit overall. Mars goes into Cancer July 11th and is weak in the D-9 chart until July 15th and this section of the journey will support peace and love of home but take away Mars’ need for adventure and risk-taking.
