EYE ON THE SKY: MARS IN SATABHISHA (AQUARIUS 6.40-20) -ACTION FOR SOCIETY OR SEETHING ANGER.

Mars moved into the constellation of Satabhisha (Aquarius 6.40-20.00) in Aquarius on April 16 and stays there until May 3rd. Aquarius is an air sign dominated by the Vata element and owned by Saturn and Rahu and it can activate Mars to solve problems quickly but it also can create quick waves of anger. On the positive side it can create love of adventure and promoting solutions with engineering, computer technology and bio-medicine.

The constellation of Satabhishak, is a highly philosophical, socially active and humanitarian in its nature. It forces us to breakdown all boundaries of race, age, status, nationality and religion and usher in a feeling of oneness with humanity. Liberals will rejoice in this value but it is spurring a deep polarization in the world as the more conservative Saturn dispositor creates tension. Given the conflict between Saturn and conservationism and nationalism and the liberal energy of Satabhishak we will probably see more anger flare-ups and conflicts. Stay out of the political anger. It robs your peace of mind and is much bigger than anything we can control and that is frustrating but save your self and help others rather than rail against things you cannot change. You can use the Mars energy to do service work and help people and donate to those in need and that is a way to transform the political anger”

The constellation of Satabhisha is about reconciling the conflicts of life. Aquarius requires us to come together and resolve the conflicts of our world and different opinions but Mars/Rahu connections will stir the pot of anger, frustration and tension regarding these issues. We have to draw on the healing energy of Varuna, the deity of the constellation to reconcile the conflicts of our world and reach out with humanitarian energy rather than with conflict and protest.

This constellation is very related to technology and alternative medicine and technologically minded Mars will thrive here in solving complex engineering problems and there can be adventures in alternative healing paths.

So find ways to calm Mars and anger with pitta pacifying diets like coconut water and less spicy food and chili peppers and turn off the TV news as it will just make you more angry. This too will pass. Get more exercise to release tensions and boost your immune system to stay healthy.
