The Theory
Many astrologers run charts for the Mars Return, either for themselves or their clients. Commonly used, this is a chart of the exact time that transiting Mars returns to its original natal position, and occurs around every two years. However, as explained in Part 1 of the Mars Cycle, the far more important Mars Return event occurs when transiting Mars returns to the natal degree when closest to the date and season of one’s birth (near the birthday).

In the previous article we discussed how synodic planetary returns are part of the great ancient Hermetic and magical project of discovering and discerning how seemingly irrational cycles can reduce to whole numbers. Let us now explore how this works for Mars.

PART ONE by Daniel Giamario

The New Mars Cycle of Libra to Begin April 8^th, 2014

On the evening of April 8th, Mars will rise in the East, just as the Sun sets. Technically, this is called the Acronychal Rise similar to when the Full Moon rises in the East as the Sun sets in the West. In this case it is Mars rising in the East as the Sun sets in the West or stated another way it is the Sun/Mars opposition. This year, on April 8th, the Sun/Mars opposition is occurring at 18 Libra 56.

This also happens to be the point in the Mars synodic cycle when Mars is closest to the Earth. In contrast Mars will be furthest from the Sun (aphelion) in May-June, 2015. Six days after opposition, on April 16th, 2014, Mars is closest to the Earth, about 57 million miles away and is also at its greatest brilliance from the Earth’s perspective.

County Kerry, Dingle Peninsula near where Daniel was staying in Ireland

I have recently returned from three truly fantastic months in Ireland researching, adventuring and writing. My home base during this time was in a sweet and comfortable house at the extreme western end of the Dingle Peninsula, in County Kerry. During this time I also took two side trips, one to Scotland and the other to the Bavarian Alps. All of these adventures were a continuation of a most remarkable time that began for me soon after the death of my father last February 2010. Read More
