A 6H Mars in joy - Aries Ingress Chart 1 by geo The truth is I decided to relocate this to a new thread, because none commented on it back in Greece 2012 thread, which kind of dissapointed me since it was the further as astrology researcher as I had ever been So, for those who did see it and just find it boring, please excuse my repetition. A 6H Mars in joy - Aries Ingress Chart Trying to delineate theGreek elections, I came up with some thoughts concerning the Aries Ingress chart. Aries dispositor, Mars, is a very important factor in Aries ingress charts. This year, Mars falls in Greece?s 6H, the house of its joy.. I accidentally noticed that a 6H Mars was a repeated A.I.C. (Aries Ingress Chart) factor in Greece?s recent history dramatic years, all related to military action: 1922 (Asia Minor disaster), 1967(military junta), 1974(Turkish invasion in Cyprus). It also made its appearance in the ?softer? junta version of 1936. From 1922 till now, 6H Mars appeared in A.I.C. in years: 1922, 1936, 1960, 1967, 1974, 1998, 2005, 2012 After seeing through these charts, I noticed that when all of the following appear simultaneously, it has proven to be a dramatic year: 1) Mars 6H 2) Sun afflicted 3) L1 afflicted 4) The Nodes conj or square important significators 5) Mars or Mars? dispositor afflicted 1922 1) Mars 6H 2) Sun conj SN opp Sat 3) L1 (Moon) in detriment (Capr) 4) L1 (Moon) at the bendings 5) Mars disp. (Jup) conj NN conj Sat 1967 1) Mars 6H 2) Sun conj Sat (in detr) 3) L1 (Mercury) in fall (Pisces) 4) Mars (dom) conj SN 5) Sun ? Mars in aversion 1974 1) Mars 6H 2) Sun opp Pluto 3) L1 (Sat) conj SN 4) Mars disp. (Merc) in fall On the contrary, years 1936, 1960, 1998, 2005 had L1 =dom or exalt or conj benefic. Trigger? 1922 ?Asia Minor Catastrophe? (14 sep 1922) seems to have been triggered by Mars entering Capricorn 1967 military junta (21 apr 1967) by Mars entering Rx Libra conj 6H cusp 1974 turkish invasion in cyprus (20 jul 1974) by L6 (Mercury) conj Sat in 7H cusp And now about year 2012: 1) Mars 6H 2) Sun 12H conj L6 (=Mars disp) 3) L1 (Mars) peregrine in 6H 4) Mars at the bendings 5) Mars disp. (Merc) combust in 12H 6) Sun ? Mars in aversion If my previous assumptions have a point, then it?s gonna be another dramatic year with military action involved, joined perhaps to territorial loss. I fear Mars in Libra in July-Aug 2012 could trigger similar dramatic events. Strangely, Cancer Ingress chart has the same ASC & MC degree as the Aries chart. Since the elections take place only a couple of days before Cancer ingress, I think there might be some connection. Georgia Quote Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:33 am
2 by geo on the other hand, there is a difference between the other 3 years/events above mentioned: Transit Mercury. Then Tr.Mercury was also cardinal, and tightly aspecting Mars& Saturn, whereas this time, as long as Mars is in Libra, Mercury will be in Leo. So we're hopefully saved by Mercury..

3 by james_m hi geo, nice work! i like it when someone tries to make connections and comes up with some interesting ones like you are doing here. any thought on the fact 3 of the 4 charts are in years with a mars retro? i can't remember how often mars goes retro.. once every 2 years or so? the other interesting feature i picked up off the 4 charts is how 3 of them have saturn close to zero cardinal, with the exception of the 2012 chart. i admit finding astro connections is tricky, but this one of mars in the 6th as it relates to greece is interesting. what is your preferred chart for greece? i have 4 for greece - march 25 1821, jan 13 1822, feb 3 1830 and july 24 1974.. thanks - james Quote Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:32 am
4 by geo thank you for the compliments james! .. at least I got someone out there verifing my forum-existence first of all I have to say I am a total amateur, I have read no books on mundane astrology, I just try to figure out things using this great forum. Maybe that's why i'm more inclined to statistics: lack of actual knowledge. The reason why I decided to work with the ingress charts is precisely this number of charts. Surely, the chart of 24 july 1974 fits perfect Greece's current situation: last elections were referred to as the end of post-metapolitefsi (24 july 1974 to now). But I haven't come to a conclusion yet. Since I'm not using my PC at the moment, I'll come back after having looked if the other rejected A.I.C. have any Saturn close to 0' cardinal as you pointed out. It might also add up to something! regards, Georgia Quote Sun Jun 24, 2012 4:44 pm
5 by Thomas-Gazis Geo I am impressed by your work - even more so because it comes out of an amateur who has never read a single mundane astrology book - as you state! I am using the January 13th, 1822 horoscope as the national horoscope of Greece (you may see my relative article: http://astro.getforum.org/post3194.html#p3194 ) Regarding the July 24th 1974 and the other "meta-politefsi" horoscopes I write in my article: "It is worth mentioning that some astrologers favour a rather recent birthday for Greece (placing the birth of modern Greece in the period following the fall of the Greek military junta in 1974). Some (European mostly) astrologers for example claim that modern Greece's national horoscope should stem out of the date its last Constitution was adopted (on the 11th June 1975 - soon after the collapse of the military dictatorship). But how proper is it to study astrologically a country not using its "foundation" horoscope but what actually is the horoscope of a posterior constitutional "amendment"? If somebody studies the 1st January 1822 Constitution s/he will realize that it is essentially as democratic and advanced as the Constitution of 1975. Thus, on 1975 we did not experience a major constitutional shift in regard to the VERY Greek constitution (the constitution upon which Greece was founded on). We just experienced a shift in regard to the imposed by the military junta regime - a regime that lasted only 7 years, not so many to alter the "soul" of Greece and its original constitution. Some other astrologers claim that modern Greece's horoscope should stem out of the moment its first post-dictatorship Prime Minister was sworn in - on the 24th of July 1974. But as I explained before, the seven years military junta did not change either the "soul" or the constitution of Greece. Why should we then consider the July 24, 1974 chart as the "national horoscope" of Greece and not the original January 13, 1822 one? If we follow the same reasoning then we should argue that a person is not born when s/he comes out of his/her mother's uterus but when s/he gets married for the second time! We have to be very careful and thorough when we study the intricacies of a national horoscope. " Thomas Gazis Know Thyself Quote Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:41 am
6 by geo hello, Thomas thanks for your comments yes, I've come across your argument about the 1st Constitution date as the birthdate of Greece, when I was trying to find out at the web what the greek astrologers had to say. Although I'm not defending the 24-7-1974 case (the reason is that cardinal signs dominate our recent history long before that date-but so did wars), it's true that Karamanlis arrival marked a new era, in the same way Kapodistrias arrival did 150years before him. It's just that I don't feel the 1st Constitution to be that strong in our greek collective unconcious mind.. I would like to see more thoroughly the case of Kapodistrias arrival maybe. Or maybe, it could be just what Mark suggested in a previous thread about greece http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic ... c&start=15 , that it's hard to name a birthdate for countries with history dating thousands of years back. Besides, "nation" is only a couple of centuries back invention (17th cent). I think I lean more to that kind of approach, and that was the reason why I started working with the Aries Ingress charts instead. So, from your experience, what's to expect from that nasty 6H Mars? regards, Georgia Quote Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:23 pm
7 by geo @james_m james, you were right.. I looked all 8 6Hmars A.I.C. and it's only those bad years -1922,1967,1974- that had saturn close to 0 cardinal (1974 last deg mutable) together with the mercury thing, it looks like we escaped twice this year Quote Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:31 pm
8 by Thomas-Gazis Dear Geo the January 13, 1822 chart is not just the "first Greek constitution" chart but the chart of the Declaration of Independence of the Greeks from the Turks (who had militarily occupied Greece for 4 centuries) and even more the Declaration of the "political existence" of Greece! It is the chart of a highly historical, unparalleled moment! You see there is a confusion about what actually constitutes the "national horoscope" of a country. Indeed there are many horoscopes expressing different stages in the history of each country but there is ONLY ONE "foundation" horoscope for each country, the one we call its "national horoscope". This is elementary astrology. Whatever comes into existence - be it a human being or an animal or a car or a country - has a SPECIFIC natal/foundation horoscope. Yes, it's hard to determine the national horoscope of a country but that's the fascination of it. And as you know and wrote, a nation is a concept of the last 2-3 centuries so our time frame is narrowed when we seek the national horoscope of a country... Ingresses are good but not as good as the "national horoscope" when we are studying astrologically a country... Know Thyself Quote Wed Jun 27, 2012 7:45 am
9 by geo Ingresses are good but not as good as the "national horoscope" when we are studying astrologically a country... This topic's theme is 6H mars in Aries ingress chart, as occured by some accidental assumptions I made based on Greece's recent history. If you feel like expressing your ideas about the country's birthchart, all you have to do is open up a new topic This way you'll have more chances to discuss it with people that will share the same interest with you. regards, Georgia Quote Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:48 pm
10 by Thomas-Gazis Thank you for your suggestion Georgia I assume you are Greek Know Thyself Quote Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:27 am
11 by geo Of course I'm Greek! Why else would Greece occupy half of my posts?! I just cannot comment on the national horoscope issue, since I haven't occupied myself with that field -yet- and, besides, you seem -no offense- to already have a fixed opinion on the subject you brought up for discussion, which, in my view, leaves little room for discussion after all.. Georgia Quote Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:05 am
12 by Thomas-Gazis Georgia your are a little hasty in judging people... I don't think I have a fixed opinion. I am open in discussing every aspect on Greece's national horoscope. But how can I discuss that matter with you when 1st) you wrote me above "this is my yard. Please go elsewhere and start your own subject". 2) You declared you are an amateur and you haven't read a single book on mundane astrology? Know Thyself Quote Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:18 pm
