Hello, you're listening to astrology hotline. I'm Kyle Pierce. And this was the forecast for January 9 2023, through January 15. The first time I recorded it, but due to a microphone
Unknown:
of increasingly limited value. I'm just going to focus on the main event for this week. Astrologically. And that is Mars stationing direct. And this is kind of too important, too
Unknown:
starting to move forward, its ruler Mercury is still going backwards. So certainly expect to see certainly expect to see a change in direction or a shift in momentum on the day of the station. But
Unknown:
broadest sense, Mars is retrograde in Gemini means just a lot of Mars in Gemini. And its entrance into the sign is going to be a relevant point to mark events that are tied to the cycle, both
Unknown:
reflect back on significant events that have happened so far around those significant dates, particularly if you have planets in Gemini, especially between eight and 25 degrees of Gemini, but
Unknown:
Enter, and to a lesser degree in between five and 22 degrees of Cancer and Capricorn. So what can we expect from Mars stationing direct? What does it mean? Well, there are a few ways I like to think
Unknown:
you realize you forgot your favorite grenade launcher back at the diner. And, again, because you are Mars, and you believe that traffic laws are for suckers, you don't get off at the nearest exit, but
Unknown:
jam, you know, because the road is so obstructed. So as far as you know, you might have to take another route. Or you might just have to wait patiently through the traffic jam, which you're not
Unknown:
the vast majority of us are at least trying to exercise some of the more courageous and noble virtues of Mars and, you know, maybe living a less destructive version of this, certainly, you're
Unknown:
you know, you've lost your momentum, you're low on lives, you got a boss battle coming up, and you know, one of those big helix spirals that you got to get through to get to the next stage. And for
Unknown:
removed. Now that it's gotten whatever it it came back for at this point. Now that's going to be the general energy of any Mars Retrograde cycle. And it applies here as much as it does to any other
Unknown:
But want to look more specifically what's happening in relationship with Mars as he gets back on the warpath. What kind of influences see under see being antagonized by anything in particular, see
Unknown:
See being pacified maybe restabilized? Well, what's rather interesting about this MARS station is Mars is stopping and is going to be essentially sitting on this degree for the rest of the month.
Unknown:
it's very powerful star, all for the Royal stars have a certain way of going about achieving power L double Ron goes about achieving power by means of the the acquisition of stuff essentially of
Unknown:
quite perfect, but at this point it's
Unknown:
within orb will say have a wide sextile. But this actually can represent a form of benefic enclosure for Mars as Mars is basically sitting in between the arrays of benefit planets Mars,
Unknown:
Jupiter and Venus without the intervention of another aspect. And while it'll get broken up sporadically, by the Moon, Mars is essentially going to stay like that for at least a couple first
Unknown:
least hopefully, maybe a more humane or careful application of Mars force,
Unknown:
at least more than usual, would be ideal. Or perhaps this could kind of look like Venus and Jupiter containing Mars, and only allowing it to rain destruction down on its specific sort of area of
Unknown:
that destruction out over a long, agonizing period of time. So, you know, while Mars may not be moving fast, yet, hopefully, it can at least look like more of a
Unknown:
surgical kind of strike, where we're only cutting where necessary. In whichever area of your life this might apply. Or perhaps getting the opportunity to
Unknown:
evacuate and save some of your possessions before the house burns down, so to speak. But there is one other factor that could potentially fly under the radar, or is maybe not immediately obvious.
Unknown:
where the sun is, you get oh 22 degrees. Hmm. So this would be a contra and Tisha, which some astrologers have likened to being of the nature of an opposition, as they represent points in the
Unknown:
eight degrees of Gemini and 22. Cancer, which would have the same length of day and night. They're doing sort of opposite sort of thing. And so Mars is doing a sort of opposite set sort of thing to,
Unknown:
There's an interesting sort of theme around both planets that sort of looks similar. And that is Mars. On our demo,
Unknown:
on Audible Ron, looking to acquire and amass material, and sort of win by conquest. If you're playing like sieve, sieve five or something
Unknown:
where you get different kinds of victories, you get cultural victories, political victories, science victories. This is a conquest victory that Mars was looking for, which naturally is suits Mars.
Unknown:
The sun at 22 Capricorn is in the
Unknown:
third deck in of Capricorn, which is in the Chaldean order, a solar deck and it's a sun ruled deck. And so there's sort of a throne here for the sun to sit on and the kind of thrown in it is a very
Unknown:
potentially, and you know, the Mars and the Sun are not
Unknown:
complete completely dissimilar planets, they are certainly different, but they're both hot. In terms of temperament, they're both hot and dry, stubborn, both active and kind of separating individuating
Unknown:
in the direction of the sun. And traditionally, when it came to these antisocial relationships, the signs were sort of given different roles in those relationships. In this case, Gemini was said to be
Unknown:
signs from Libra to Pisces, were obeying signs, say that like Gemini speaks, and Capricorn listens. It's also been put his like Gemini, seeing Capricorn while Capricorn beholds
Unknown:
seems like a subtle distinction. But it's the idea that in this context, in theory, Mars would be doing something to the sun, a little more than the Sun is doing something to Mars. The sun is maybe
Unknown:
contentious relationship between Mars and the Sun depending on how you look at it, given that sun is in Mars as
Unknown:
exultation sign of Mars is exultation which may make Mars a little more sympathetic, could also be seen as Mars having a little more knowledge of the space that the sun is occupying, than maybe the
Unknown:
given time, and see those themes playing out. So around when Mars entered its shadow period, is when Ukraine launched the KEARSON offensive, which was this kind of tricky, multi pronged attack on
Unknown:
Now, similarly, Ukraine has a problem with a different kind of shortage. And that's a shortage in ammunition, and weapons. Ukraine has all the manpower that it needs for the most part, but it has
Unknown:
right with Mars in Gemini, or otherwise, engaging in these kind of long and very deadly battles where both sides suffer, a lot of casualties were much smaller amount of territory gained. So I
Unknown:
And I'm very interested to see how some of the specifics of this might play out.
Unknown:
I have read some articles suggesting that Ukraine has been amassing forces for an offensive against Russia, which would be a little, it would be a bit of a strange time for an offensive given that
Unknown:
Mars Sun Kandra and Tisha could look like if not being applied to this complex
Unknown:
specifically, you know, Mars stunts and stuff, you know, we might see
Unknown:
somewhere in the world at the death, perhaps a sudden or violent one of a solar figure have some kind of leader or someone with a significant public profile. This could look also like the, like the
Unknown:
Stations are one of these moments, as well as sign and grasses, and helical risings as well. That is when a planet first becomes visible in the sky, either by rising or emerging from being obfuscated
Unknown:
often pull a lot of meaning out of those little encounters. And in fact, if you end up doing something like this, during Mars's station, and you have any interesting encounters, I would really,
