Mars, as the ruler of the first sign of the Western Zodiac, Aries, comes with the raw, ascension from the womb, into existence on Earth. It is the first heartbeat after conception, the motive to move and become, the instinct to survive, the drive to win, and the identification with source while ultimately generating its own independent power-grid from within.
As the ruler of Aries, Mars rules the head, with the 6th-Ajana and 7th-Sahasrara Chakras along with Neptune and Uranus, which represent our spiritual will to live.
It also rules the 1st Chakra-root, the adrenal glands, the hormone cortisol. In Sanskrit it is the Muladhara, and is our physical will to live each day—when you arise in the morning and you are exposed to the Sun’s light, corticol is secreted.
In traditional astrology, Mars was the original ruler of Scorpio. But since Pluto was discovered in 1930, Mars had to share its rulership with Pluto, which is the modern ruler of Scorpio.
In the sign of Scorpio, Mars and Pluto rule the 2nd Chakra-sacral Chakra, the reproductive glands. In Sanskrit it is called the Svadisthana, and is the center of our physical creative powers and the balance of our feminine and masculine energies that through sexual orgasm, and Kundalini Yoga, transmute, transcend, and rise up to the higher Chakras.
Mars as traditional ruler of Scorpio and the 8th house, is also about beginnings; beginnings of one’s subconscious window into their shadow, and deeper psyche.
Mars as co-ruler with Pluto of Scorpio, represents the original struggle to, first, recognize the shadow; second, realize it is a part of you; third, take time to understand it; fourth, learn not to fear it; fifth, accept it as a part of you; and sixth, integrate it into the conscious Self.
In both signs, Mars can lack the inner awareness of its strength, depth, and endurance regarding the outcomes of its will. This is probably because the extraordinary amount of vision, and force behind this will, makes it lose sight of the reality that there is a intention and effect world, where accidents do happen and mistakes can be made; and, depending on the ethical and moral intent of the will, enemies appear.
Mars, true to its warrior DNA in both signs, provides the spirit within the immune system. That could also mean that artificial methods for stimulating the immune system, such as vaccines (Pluto), can destroy the organic processing which gives Mars its inherent gifts and abilities to fight disease and heal.
Meanwhile, if Mars in Aries is really good at protecting Self, it can have few challengers bold enough. And this is because those that do challenge Mars, must have a will, strength, courage and fortitude of greater magnitude. People I know with Mars in Aries, especially those who have Mars in Aries in their 1st house, are very seldom challenged!
If Mars co-ruler of Scorpio is good at helping Pluto protect the shadow, it too will have few challengers, unless these challengers have addressed their own shadow and integrated it into consciousness. However, if they haven’t their intimidation toward those who have, can be psychopathic.
A Scorpio Mars-Pluto shadow unaddressed and suppressed within, is terribly feared, and thus unbeknownst projected out into the world, as a vicious, corrupt, evil energy of much greater intent, and magnitude, than normal.
Thus, with this indigenous origin and self-generated processing, in Aries fashion, Mars in Aries, and the 1st house, often develop into universally generated fighters who are great combat warriors, battle planners, marksmen, swordsmen and Marshal Artists.
And, this indigenous origin and self-generated unprocessing of the shadow in Scorpio fashion—Mars in Scorpio, and the 8th house—often develop into fighters who support the shadow to “win”, with destructive weapons of mass destruction while confiscating billions of dinero to take over the world. In other words, if the shadow is not understood, healed and integrated into divine Self, it inadvertently becomes very toxic to the person’s mental immune system, which if exposed on to humanity, is deadly.
In fact Mars in each of the 12 signs, depending on the planet that rules it, will express variations of Aries-1st house and Scorpio-8th house traits, among the plethora of archetypal wills and energies directed by the ruling planet of the sign and (if known) house it is in.

THE ASTROLOGY IN THE BACKGROUND of THE SQUARE BETWEEN MARS IN AQUARIUS and URANUS IN TAURUS
For now I will break down the major planetary influences involved with Mars in Aquarius and its square with Uranus in Taurus on March 9th.
Presently Pluto, Venus and Mars are in Aquarius. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus in modern astrology and Saturn in traditional astrology. For this post, I am using Uranus as the ruler, which is presently transiting through Taurus until April 2026.
Pluto is at 1-degree Aquarius and in May will retrograde from 2-degrees back into the last degrees of Capricorn. This is the third time Pluto has entered Aquarius over the last year, and it has one more time before it pursues it long 20 year journey. But even just at the first few degrees in Aquarius, where it hasn’t been for 240 years, it is influencing every single event taking place at this time—dark, hidden technologies. There is much to say on Pluto in Aquarius but not at this time.
Venus is in Aquarius until March 12th, and Mars is in Aquarius until March 23rd.
The inner planets travel quickly, unless they go retrograde.
The outer planets, from Jupiter on, transit much slower through the signs. Jupiter is in a sign for about a year or more, and Uranus is in a sign for about 8 years.
Uranus in Taurus, is ruled by Venus in Aquarius, and Venus in Aquarius is ruled by Uranus.
That means presently Venus is in the sign Uranus rules, and Uranus is in the sign Venus rules. They are in each other’s signs—mutual reception and for this brief time appear to be totally interdependent.
All things Aquarius are also Uranus—AI, all types of technologies, the internet, networking of all forms; rebellion, revolution, protesting for human rights. Also, the collective conscious awakening of humanity.
All things Taurus are Venus—our values, material possessions, finances, land, finding pleasure in life, holding on to what we love and finding comfort, love, security, beauty and peace in our personal world. Plus, getting wealthy and hoarding wealth, and a luxury life, which is also Scorpio influenced.
Both Aquarius and Taurus, as well as Leo and Scorpio, are fixed signs. Fixed signs do not like to change. Cardinal signs initiate projects and send forth the seeds. Fixed signs root them, and keep them secure to grow. Mutable signs prepare for the future by making change happen. They loosen the soil and break the roots from the Earth.
Aquarius is the only fixed sign that can handle change. But the changes need to be for a good cause: emacipation, freedom, human awakening, bringing conscious people together, and rebelling against the old structures that enslave.
Venus in Aquarius values peace and freedom, justice and good relationships which interconnect. But it can also get lost in its personal possessions and values, and not acknowledge the collective possessions and values we all share.
With Uranus in Taurus, ruled by Venus in Aquarius, Uranus is celebrated as an immortalized entity which has retreated to some legendary status, which sits meditating in an attractive, luxurious cave for 8 years. . . Uranus in Taurus is dumbed down from its more radical actions, and kidnapped by its wealth and position.
Venus is also the ruler of Libra. In both signs, Venus wants peace, although as ruler of Taurus it is personal peace and safety. In Libra, it a peace for everyone with justice, fairness, balance, harmony and love.
Nothing (Venus) peaceful and positive is going to happen as Mars squares Uranus.
Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus are completely captured by individual material wealth at this time.
Let’s have a look at Jupiter now. . .
Jupiter is also transiting in Taurus. Jupiter will always expand and inflate whatever planets it is near. But it is most at home in the sign it rules: Sagittariua, which has an intellectual and righteous edge on justice.
In Taurus, Jupiter does a very commendable job helping Uranus get fat! It does this by allowing Uranus to sit in its cave of luxury (Taurus) undisturbed, stuck and subdued. Jupiter doesn’t help Uranus to get rebellious or agitated. This is because the fire of Jupiter’s righteous ways is completely controlled in Taurus toward material wealth. . . Here is clip from this week’s Ray Merriman Market Analysis newsletter:
“The Jupiter/Uranus steamroller keeps rolling along as new highs continue to be achieved in several world stock indices, as well as other markets such as Gold and Bitcoin. It makes one wonder if there will be any significant pullback before those two planetary behemoths conjoin near the end of a Mercury retrograde cycle on April 20/21, depending on where you live.
All-time stock market highs were recorded last week in Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, India, and the U.S. on the S&P and the NASDAQ. That’s quite impressive, and just the way Jupiter and Uranus like it when they work together. But there is always reason to be alert for sudden reversals when Uranus is involved, as it was March 3-9 by order of its square with both Venus (March 3) and Mars (March 9).”
Getting wealthy is Jupiter’s role in Taurus, any way possible! Even if it means exploiting human values (Venus in Aquarius, ruler), which is tragically, what many equity companies are getting away with now; as presented in this discussion between Chris Hedges and Gretchen Morgenson, author of “These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs—and Wrecks—America”.
Thus, Jupiter instead of allowing Uranus to grow the internet of things, to network more broadly, to protest in favor of the farmers more successfully, more loudly, with better world networking and tipping the masses toward Aquarian values, both planets are subjected to Venus influenced safety, comfort and material needs, which Jupiter pushes on to Uranus.
In brief, the Aquarius-Uranus revolts and rebellion for peace, freedom, and human rights, in the fixed sign of Earthy Taurus, is suppressed and buried in the heavy Taurus mud, most likely until Uranus moves into Gemini, Saturn and Neptune into Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius, trines Uranus and sextiles Saturn and Neptune.

Now, finally you have a substantial astrology background for the big event of Mars square Uranus on March 9th.
Mars at 19-degrees Aquarius is shaking up Uranus at 19-degrees in Taurus. It wants Uranus to act. But what kind of action? Maybe to burn up some of the fat it has been putting on since it entered Taurus in 2018. Maybe, it is The African National Congress holding a dialogue on South Africa’s solidarity with Palestine, and how to shake up the ICJ-International Court of Justice, case they sumitted against Isreal and the genocide against the Palestinian people in January.

Mars in Aquarius is the commander and the chief of AI generated conflict, especially the wars today, espcially the war in the Middle East.
Actually since Pluto went into Aquarius this third time on January 20th, AI news has been everywhere.
Furthermore, in looking at the square between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus, the world is quickly speeding ahead toward a worldwide war with the newest most dehumanizing AI weapons . . .
However for a few days, with Venus at this time in the last degrees of Aquarius in mutual reception with Uranus in Taurus, it is probably softening the square involved, and as Venus enters Pisces, the delusion that nothing is wrong will sing from the White House to make people think the present conflicts are being won by the people staging the wars; that the humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, is being addressed, that Ukraine is winning the war against Russia. But in truth, none of the above is true!
More chaos and more war, is likely. And with Mars in Aquarius sending waves of aggitation toward Uranus, a great deal can happen.
The good news is that maybe the Arabs—who strikingly portray Uranus in Taurus, more or less—will act. However, this is unlikely, as you can read in this excellent article Why are Arab Regimes so Important in the Face of Zionist Barbarism? by Kevin Barrett:
“So, from a worldly political viewpoint, the situation is bleak. Arab leaders are simply acting within constraints imposed by the power of circumstance.
But how did they, and their regimes, arrive in such circumstances? By way of a long process of cultural decline. Whole peoples, led by their elites, have repeatedly chosen expediency over ethics, laziness over diligence, egotism over islam (submission of the self to God).”
That definitely sounds like Uranus in Taurus behavior!
Nevertheless, the Arab silence is also influenced by Venus—they are protecting themselves and their wealth.
Venus will keep trying to soften reality, especially as it enters Pisces, the sign it is exalted in.
Venus is known for ignoring chaos, war and conflict. It can’t handle it. It is obsessed with peace, beauty, security, getting along with everyone and so on.
Meanwhile, Mars in Aquarius square Uranus is much more about AI weapons of mass destruction, and an earthquake of war taking place in the cave Uranus calls home.
And again Venus is involved. Venus, has to keep things positive, and it does this by “glorifying” and “beautifying” the AI weapons, making those people who design, market, sell them, feel happy. While at the same time, with this Venus influenced propaganda, the public buys this as normal war!
Mars in Aquarius, has been gathering a network of brand new technological warriors, who join forces with the military industry, top government officials, the Pentagon, DARPA, and the very rich.
With Mars square Uranus and Jupiter near, in Taurus, we can expect an expansion of AI generated weapons! Also, an escalation of both the war in the Middle East and Ukraine.
*
NEW AI WEAPONS
As I pursue studying Mars in the sign of Aquarius--the sign of AI--and its well known fame as the planet of war, it is not terribly surprising, that there have been several unfortunate reports of both the US and Israeli military, introducing new types of very sophisticated AI weapons to dehumanize their already brutal racist genocide in Gaza, and to a lesser sinister degree, in Ukraine.
After months of living with daily tears, that blur my astrology charts, I am now able to translate more news-info into the astrology. Even if there is one person who gets something out of this complex explanation, I have succeeded!
It is incredulous to me that the people who finance these wars, invent and manufacture the weapons, who rob the coffers paid by tax payers, who train the military to kill, and who sit in front of their TVs, and computers, greedily watching the war-theatre, destroy what is means to be human. No souls and no hearts. The less human they become the greater the insanity they create.
*
Here is a short list of some of the articles I have read on AI weapons:
Caitlin Johnstone references a Haaretz article: "Gaza Becomes Testing Ground for Military Robots", and states:
"One of the most horrifying facts about this dystopia we live in is that large-scale military operations are routinely used as testing grounds for new war machinery, using human bodies as guinea pigs for experimentation in what amount to giant blood-soaked field laboratories — all to benefit the strategic objectives of empire managers and the profit margins of the military-industrial complex."
So They're Experimenting With Military Robots In Gaza Now

And this:
US Deploys "Project Maven" In Middle East As AI Warfare Underway - Activist Post
Project Maven uses AI technology to analyze drone surveillance footage—US military is using AI targeting systems to identify potential strike areas.
Here is an excerpt:
“Based at Central Command, or Centcom headquarters in Tampa, Florida, Schuyler Moore revealed that US forces in the Middle East have been testing AI targeting systems using a combination of satellites and other data sources and conducted exercises over the past year with the technology.
“October 7th, everything changed,” she said, adding, “We immediately shifted into high gear and a much higher operational tempo than we had previously.” She noted the shift from exercises to real-life missions was “a pretty seamless shift” with Project Maven.
“However, Moore emphasized that Project Maven’s AI capabilities only identify potential targets instead of automatically confirming and killing the target.
A separate Bloomberg report noted:
“A growing number of US military officers predict that AI will transform the way America and its enemies make war, ranking it alongside the radio and machine gun in its potential to revolutionize combat.”
Insiders told Bloomberg that Project Maven’s core data-fusion platform is developed by Palantir Technologies, and involves critical contributions from Amazon Web Services, ECS Federal, L3Harris Technologies, Maxar Technologies, Microsoft, and Sierra Nevada.
*
And, this:
"US Central Command (CENTCOM) region is aligned to receive new counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) as part of his new “transforming in contact” push where users, developers and testers can converge and provide feedback. Part of that initiative seemingly includes the Directed Energy Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (DE M-SHORAD) prototype that integrates a 50-kilowatt laser onto Strykers to down class 1 to 3 aerial drones and incoming rockets, artillery and mortars. (Kord Technologies was tasked with integrating an RTX laser onto combat vehicles.)"
Here is what Brian Shilhavy says in his article "First Generation Laser Energy Weapons Sent to the Middle East by US Military":
"While this military announcement claimed that these were prototypes not ready for combat yet, it does confirm that military contractors do possess direct energy weapons that the U.S. Government is testing. These Stryker-mounted 50-kilowatt lasers are being advertised as a more cost effective way to intercept and destroy drones and other weapons for a fraction of the cost of current anti-aircraft defense systems, where the U.S. military can spend up to a $million or more to destroy simple drones and other weapons that only cost hundreds of dollars."
He quotes this Pentagon report:
While Pentagon leaders note the need for such weapons, they are also grappling with the per-kill cost of launching kinetic interceptors that can be in the millions of dollars.
If directed energy ones like the DE M-SHORAD prove fruitful in mass, it offers a window for significantly lowering that per-unit kill price point and/ or providing commanders with a mix of kinetic and directed energy C- UASs to use depending on the threat set or weather conditions.
This says it all:
"Isn’t it amazing that the military knows exactly how much your life is worth as they have the data and technology to calculate your “per-unit kill price point”, and yet the Pentagon claims that it doesn’t have the data and technology to track its own budget and show where all the $billions they spend on weapons of mass destruction go?"

This isn’t a war that is thought of as a war, but it needs to be posted. . .
The US and other governments have been orchestrating forest fire catastrophes in the US and around the world for many years. Diane Wigington and her husband from Geoengineering.watch.org have been documenting and filming these demonic pre-staged fires in every country.
Here is a video they posted on March 4th that was shared on the Forbidden Knowledge newsletter:
From the Forbidden Knowledge newsletter:
“Is the military industrial complex insane enough to incinerate Earth’s last remaining forests in order to achieve the objectives of the global controllers? The short answer is yes. A formerly classified US military document titled “Forest Fire As A Military Weapon” is a truly shocking exposé of planned scorched Earth destruction. The US Forest Service actually participated in the research and planning that went into this military instruction manual for carrying out orchestrated forest fire catastrophes.”
*
UKRAINE
In our discussion on Mars square Uranus, it is important to share an excerpt from a recent RT article on the risks of a nuclear attack from Russia, called: “Reality Check: Why the West Risks Dragging Itself and the World into a Nuclear Nightmare”:
“The US and its G7 partners seem determined to prolong the proxy war with Russia in the belief that by supplying increasingly lethal weaponry to Kiev and raising the level of confrontation, they can force Moscow to the negotiating table.
The logic appears to be that this strategy will force a negotiated solution rather than inexorably lead to a conflict between Russia and NATO.
The West has progressively raised its involvement by supplying long-range artillery, advanced air defense systems, tanks, and air-launched cruise missiles, as well sea-based ones, to hit Russian targets. Satellite intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) has been provided to Ukraine for more accurate strikes.”
And this excellent video discussion between Professor John Mearsheimer and Daniel Davis.
Professor Mearsheimer thinks that if NATO, “puts boots on the ground in Ukraine”, which includes France, and Germany this would provoke Putin to think about using nuclear weapons.
Professor Mearsheimer calls for diplomacy (Venus) as the only way to end this war.
*
I think I have said enough for now. On March 15, the Ides of March, there will be a Grand Fixed Cross/Square in Isral’s and the PLO charts. I am working on the post about that.
Meanwhile, today is March 9th and Mars in Aquarius at 19-degrees is square Uranus in Taurus 19-degrees.
Mars in Aquarius wants to spice things up. We could say that Mars encompasses all entities that have anything to do with wars. In Aquarius, the sign of AI, with Pluto’s blessings, Mars will aggressively agitate the hell out of Uranus. What exactly will happens, I don’t know. But I can feel that the pressure this square brings, could burst the fixed Uranus in Taurus stagnation.
More to say on Uranus and Jupiter, as the upcoming conjunction in Taurus approaches on April 20th, near the time when Mercury will finish its retrograde in Aries.

ADDITIONAL ASTROLOGY NOTES
**
This section is taken from Glenn Perry’s articles on angles, archetypes and phase relationships:
“Referring to the Western Zodiac angles. An angle or aspect, the sign and house of the planets involved, equals a phase relationship of a whole cycle.”
“Planets, signs, and even houses are often referred to as archetypes, but the unifying factor is actually the corresponding angle.”
A whole cycle is determined by the movement of the planets.
Astrological archetypes are derived from the angles formed by division of a whole cycle by 12. . .
The meaning of the archetypes, is in the angle. And for every phase relationship, there is a planet that has a parallel meaning.
You can explore the phase relationships in Glenn Perry’s Astro-Psychology articles, here and here.
Natural angles are derived from the phase relationships found in the Western Zodiac’s synodic cycle.
For example, the planets discussed in the above substack will be explained from their natural placement in the Western Zodiac:
*Venus is the ruler of two signs, Taurus and Libra.
As the ruler of Taurus, if Venus is in Aquarius, it squares the sign it rules. If Venus is in a square, particularly a closing square, it will have a contentious relationship with that planet it squares.
If it is in Capricorn, it will trine, Taurus, and have a more harmonious relationship with the sign it rules.
If Venus as ruler of of Libra is in Leo, it will sextile the sign it rules and get along very well with its location.
"*Jupiter, natural ruler of Sagittarius, and Uranus, as natural ruler of Aquarius, do not have sweet, harmonious angles with Taurus.
Jupiter as ruler of Sagittarius, is in a natural 150-degree quincunx angle with Taurus. This natural angle in the relationship of the planets involved, blinds the planets from seeing one another, and that makes it next to impossible for them to get along.
That means Jupiter in Taurus, is in a 150-degree angle with where Jupiter is naturally. In this angle it makes it very difficult for Jupiter to be its lively, jovial self. It can’t function in a positive manner the way it usually will in signs, such as Aries, Leo, Aquarius, or Libra, signs which it naturally gets along with well..
*Uranus as the natural ruler of Aquarius, presently transiting in the sign of Taurus, is 90-degree square to where it is in the natural Zodiac. That means it is most unhappy.
This 90-degree square between transiting Uranus and the sign it rules, manifests great tension for Uranus to be free. It is suppressed.
Thus, that means, Mars in Aquarius, in this 90-degree square with Uranus, is aggressively agitating Uranus, in Taurus.
Mars as ruler of Aries, while it is in Aquarius, is sextile the sign it rules. Again, this is a compatible connection.
