Mars in Aquarius

I was reading Jeff Green’s book on “Pluto The Soul’s Evolution Through Relationships” it is a very interesting book, but I couldn’t help laugh at the Mars in Aquarius description for sex. I have this placement in my 6th house natally and it is squared to Uranus in Scorpio in 3rd, Just to add to my detachment. I hope I don’t treat my partner like an experiment in bed, although he might enjoy it lol.

Quote by Jeff Green:

Sexually speaking Mars in Aquarius reflects a soul that desires to experiment with all possible ways of being sexual. This includes the possibility of detaching from the sexual instinct itself -to be sexual or celibate. The instinct to rebel from current cultural social customs or morals leads such souls into considering different ways of being sexual that many others would judge as kinky, weird or bizarre. These “sexual deviations” can include group sex, group marriage.

Because of the core detachment of mars in Aquarius, the sexual act is similar to a scientific experiment in which observation is made to the specific effect of various methods of sexual stimulation on the subject. This detached observation (cause and affect) produces psychological/sexual knowledge for the Mars in Aquarius soul. This detachment can also cause frustration for such souls, because it does not allow for full engagement with the physical body. The mental dynamic in the consciousness is always energized and observing.

Cancer

 

Cancer just like the symbol the crab, has a tough exterior that protects a soft underbelly, he is vulnerable to life. Cancer is the most defensive and protective sign of the zodiac, he lives in the watery world of emotions, instinct, gut feelings, and intuition: he feels rather than thinks. This level of relating to the environment makes him extremely sensitive to the moods and emotional undercurrents of the world around. Cancer is learning to open the flow of feelings to others, so that he can nurture his loved one’s. The sign of Cancer the 4th house, and the Moon describes our roots, origins and early childhood and foundations. The Cancer function in the natal chart is to make us feel like we belong. Cancer represents our inherited tribal instincts, our race memories and heritage, this is a maternal sign which needs to take care of others. There is a pronounced tenderness in Cancer which makes this sign a very good carer or parent.

Having someone or something to selflessly care for is the key to being a secure and happy crab. Cancer is the first sign to first put us in touch with our soul, there is something potent in Cancer which wants to protect all in life that is vulnerable and in need of shelter. This is the first sign to poignantly feel both love and sadness for the human condition. Cancer was born with amazing sensitivity, that allows him to absorb what is going on inside others. Cancer needs security of the emotional kind, through close nurturing bonds, he can feel emotionally adrift if security is threatened, and can become intensely self protective and withdraw himself completely. Home is Cancer’s refuge, and the sign is driven by emotional motives. The life quest for some Cancerian’s could be in finding a home or a place where he belongs. Cancer is the first water sign on the zodiac wheel, and possibly the most dependent in emotional relationships, he holds on tight to loved ones and can be considered possessive and clingy.

Cancer needs a home base and security, he needs familiar surroundings to help him feel emotionally secure. Cancer has a very protective shell and is symbolized by the Crab in Astrology, and he rarely leaves himself exposed. Cancer will do anything to avoid being hurt, and this can lead to manipulative behavior, and grasping hold of people in fear of losing them. Being left alone can be one of his worst nightmares. The home environment allows Cancer to retreat happily into a private world, the sign is rooted to the past and he will often reminisce about days gone by. Cancer chooses to dwell on the happy memories of the past. However the unconscious can also be home to the dark side of being human, and Cancer can suffer from a brooding and negative kind of imagination that can allow fears to loom too largely. An emotionally out of sorts Cancer can tend toward pessimism and general mistrust he will often believe the world is a selfish cold-hearted place.

Cancer is too easily discouraged when his life takes a bad turn and things seem to fall apart. A better perspective is needed once the unconscious fears take over like this. He can willfully insist on creating much overblown, psychological drama, and no other sign can drown it’s sorrow as intensely as Cancer. The sign of Cancer in our chart symbolizes a place and need for security, and somewhere to withdraw which enables us to feel in touch with emotions, and to have emotional support. Cancer needs time to nurture dreams, and to reflect on his deeper nature he needs a certain amount of self protection from the world. The home is often like a shell where emotional and familiar bonds are formed.

Pisces

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and embodies a little bit of all the other signs. Perhaps that is why Pisces can so readily identify with others. One of their greatest gifts is the ability to see the unity of all things. This is not a mind orientated sign, but one of feeling and instinct. Pisceans have an innate understanding of mysticism and they is often drawn to living a deeply spiritual life. Piscean’s know that life is ever changing and that, by letting go and surrendering to the flow, they will find a way to the spiritual source of their being. Pisces is learning how to offer themselves as a gift to the larger life, so that they can perform the work of salvaging what has been lost. Pisces symbolizes the spirit of the collective unconscious, wisdom and universal love. Which transcends the personal needs of the ego. Pisces has the ability to feel genuine empathy and pity for human suffering, and the disadvantaged, this can be one of the most sensitive and mystically inspired sign. Pisces has no boundaries and absorbs both the positive and the negative vibrations like a sponge.

Due to their overpowering emotional responses to both internal and external stimuli, Pisces often has trouble with coping with reality. As a mutable water sign Pisces is less able to establish fixed rigid ways of viewing the world. It doesn’t easily define reality in concrete terms. Mutable water is very open and responsive to the hidden emotions of others, especially their unspoken sorrows. Pisces feels weighed down and deeply saddened by the inhumanity that occurs throughout the world. A soul weary depression can result, as Pisces naturally empathizes with victims everywhere. Piscean’s have vivid imaginations, and live in the world of dreams. And their chameleon like nature enables them to blend to a variety of different situations with ease. Piscean’s are not afraid of plunging into the world of feelings, they have a strong urge to explore the emotional realms in full. Oises being the last sign has the most unguarded ego of all, and thus it they are highly vulnerable to the outer world. Piscean’s are quite susceptible to the psychological ups and downs of the human experience, but are at odds with themselves regarding such instabilities.

One fish swims upwards ready to heal and unify all beings wounded by life’s harsher, unjust realities. Pisces often works for the underprivileged, the sick and those unable to function in society. The other fish swims into the darker shadowy depths, and sensitive to the horrors of living is dragged down in spirit by a fragmented, confused world of turmoil. The greatest lesson that Pisces needs to learn is that, in order to live in the material world, they to balance their spiritual aspirations with more worldly responsibilities. Discrimination is not their strongest attribute, and those born under this sign need to learn to be discerning when choosing friends and lovers. Their compassionate nature is often taken advantage of, and Pisces can easily be manipulated by a sob story. The Piscean can easily lose a sense of identity, because they are like a psychic sponge and they absorb everything, obscuring a sense of self. Pisces is the sign with the least self preoccupation, although they are fascinated by their own intoxicating outpourings of unconscious.

Thus Pisces has difficulty escaping from their own inner world. Pisces needs to be careful of slipping away into a deep pool of nothingness, or they may remain unnoticed and invisible to the world. Pisceans need to preserve a strong but resilient sense of self, in order to make their dreams come true. When the Piscean is disconnected from the true source of it’s nature, they can become aimless, depressed, and addictive, and they may seek transcendence through drugs, alcohol, or other addictive behavior that takes them away from the harsh realities of life. And sometimes they tend to do things in excess and needs to learn how to discriminate, limit itself, and set boundaries. Pisces aspires towards self sacrifice, it can often be found searching around desperately for a cause, to which it can devote itself to, even sacrifice itself to. Pisces the final sign in the zodiac wheel is the completion of the cycle, the end. And there is a very strong tendency in Pisces to want to give up everything. Pisces therefore embodies the highest form of love which is unconditional love. The love of all.
