First of all, I would love to hear your opinion on whether we are doomed to live with astrological placements we don't like or do our actions matter. And if they do, are extremely bad positions an exeption?
In my chart Mars is in detriment at 25°57 of Libra and it's in the 4th house (Which is not bad, but not really good, since 4th house is the house of Cancer, the sign of Mars' fall. Right?). It's retrograde and intercepted. Aspects are:
-Mars inconjunct Sun, 2°53 orb;
-Mars inconjunct Mercury, 3°42 orb;
-Mars opposite Jupiter, 3°26 orb;
-Mars square ASC/DSC, 5°43 orb;
-Mars inconjunct MC, 1°36 orb.
It's the apex planet of boomerang configuration that involves Jupiter, Sun and MC. The Mars-Jupiter opposition is square to the ASC/DSC axis, so I guess that's some kind of grand cross involving angles.
Then I tried to find something to compensate for weak Mars, but I can't find anything. I only have one planet in Aries, Jupiter, and it's intercepted in the 10th house. Intercepted Aries only adds to the problem. I read (http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/Intercepted_signs.htm) that one method of solving the intercepted planet is looking at the ruling planet of the sign it is in, and if that planet is also intercepted, than it won't work. So, with intercepted Jupiter ruled by intercepted Mars, Mars has no outlet. It probably doesn't help I'm a Taurus with a Cancer ascendant, since those signs don't go well with Mars' energy.
So, my question is -- how can I access the energy of Mars? It's tied to my emotional health (4th house) and my career (key to intercepted Aries in 10th house). And I'm very ambitious when it comes to my career. I'd hate to mess up because of a lack of motivation or assertion. I'd love if someone could tell me at least one good thing about Mars in my chart, because that would be a way out of this situation.
I attached a natal chart and tables with planetary positions and aspects. I didn't like the orb they use for inconjunction and some other aspects, so I added some to the table.
And I definitely can see "symptoms" of these placements in my life. I always think before I act, and sometimes overthink and then don't act at all. And I can't act under pressure. I have strong opinions, but lack the initiative to do something about it. People think I can't stand up for myself, which I hate, but I see where it's coming from. I stay away from fights because I become overwhelmed by emotions and it bothers me even when other people are having a fight. And many more examples... All in all, I feel that my inside doesn't match the outside. And I can't express myself. It seems to me that I taught myself to repress Mars energy because of its rather animalistic nature, and now I want to bring it back so I could live a more balanced life, but I don't know how.
I'm really sorry for all this rambling...
And if anyone has similar experience, I'd love to hear it. That would be really comforting.
Thank you!
