2021 Mars: The Next Phase
This course is a continuation of the Mars synodic Cycle hosted by Daniel Giamario and Erik Roth.
Recorded January 19, 2020
Daniel and Erik take on the next chapter of the Mars cycle which began in Aries on October 13, 2020 in the sign of Aries. The cycle was proceeded by Mars’ ingress into the sign of Aries back on June 27, 2020 and continues until January 6th, when the red planet moves into the sign of Taurus.
Mars has had an enormous role in the world events of 2020 especially as it relates to the pandemic and its resulting fallout of various crises around the world.
In Shamanic Astrology, Mars represents the masculine principle as an archetype for both men and women and Aries is the archetypal symbol for the rugged-individualist, mission and action-oriented person who is all-in to whatever it devotes itself to. Aries is also a culture-bearer / householder modality is the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm
It is an instinctual and primal energy that is willful and fiery in its expression. Mars’ transit through Aries has certainly shown itself intensely from the hospitals and laboritories of science to protests and movements of freedom and justice on the streets. From saving lives to a fighting posture, Aries is its own velocity especially with Mars spending over six months in that sign.
In 2021, Mars journeys through Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius at the end of 2021. There are important dates within this next phase of Mars as it has dynamic (hard) aspects of all of the outer planets in what is called, Phase 2 of Mars: The Labors / Tasks and Phase 3: The Underworld.
The sign of Aries set the tone for the Mars Cycle throughout 2021 and 2022. The issues birthed in 2020 from Mars’ relationship with Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto and Eris will bear out in 2021 in unexplored ways waiting to be discovered.
