From evolutionary perspective, Mars is the subjective will of the soul, and Saturn - structure of the individual consciousness. What does the cycle of Mars around Saturn symbolize then? It's known that this pair considered a bit militaristic in traditional astrology, but what is the meaning of this cycle in EA?
Thank you 🙏
Great, thank you so much Rad for this meaningful and thorought answer! What's left - to syntesize it all together:) .. so why don't i do this exercise right here, to make sure I understand your message? So let's take 3rd Individuated Pluto in Libra in new phase conjunction Saturn in 2H, with Mars in Sag 3H in crescent phase Saturn. The evolutionary need was to initiate right types of relationships to accumulate more meaning and values in one's life, to become more resourceful and to have 'currency' in dealing /trade with these 'right-kind people'. (I don't even go into Evolutionary Intention considerations here).
Mars acts on these desires to dig some esoteric knoweldge and philosophy, so it can exchange with other smart people out there and enhance one's stock in the process.
Saturn in 2H conditions the reality by providing a limited resources to the native, leaving one empty-handed in dealing with others from the get-go. So with time the native have to bring the valuable pieces of information that form the knowledge-base to the Soul, from which it can socialize with right kind of currency in hand (esoteric knowledge, philosophical concepts etc) as equal. The way of it throughout life was to harvest large information input and internilize it (Crescent phase, that is the inner struggle), so later it can be used for weaving the web of intelligent connections/synapses of the brain:) to fetch complex concepts and deeper perceptions (Sag), to share with others. So Mars was studying a lot, getting broad academic education etc.
And of course throughout life it is going in phases of transiting Mars & Saturn and everything else for that matter (but that's another story).
So Saturn role here was creating these conditions - to restrict the initial resources of individual, so that by right action she/he could reap the rewards. Of course in the absence of action or wrong action, there'd be consequence - a personal bankrupsy in dealing with others as an equal. Not to mention inability to judge others by one's standards))) (Saturn in Libra).
Is that one possible scenario of such example?
