This troublesome Station chart has caused a fair amount of mayhem since its station (direct) on Jan 12, 2023. I've looked at it previously for subjects ranging from the Hawaii fires to Icelandic volcanoes to the recent shootings of Slovak PM Robert Fico and recent shooting attacks in Prague and Ottawa. Looking at the chart you can see why its so dangerous - Mars is exactly conjunct the MC in the World chart (Greenwich). Moreover Mars is at a notoriously difficult degree according to us Sabian scrutineers, namely ''A Quiver full of Arrows''. Hopefully then it's first Mars return will pass peaceably however previous experience warns us to take considerable care during this period. As the Return is well over a year ago one hopes it may have lost it spark but from what I've researched of Station charts they can be effective for 2years or more in regards to the Mars and the outer planets. The late hours of July 31st to August 2nd I would suggest is the peak period for the actual return. Here are two charts to peruse meanwhile, one of the Mars Station and transits and another of the 90 Dial for Aug 2nd with Zeus (firearms) opposite Mars square Aries point.

You can see the problem here with the Cross between Mars-Sun/Zeus-Uranus and the Aries Point. In fact I suspect its already been in effect for several days but as I say is yet to reach its peak period. It doesn't exactly favour a few days of relative peace and quiet.
What do you think Ouranus and Stella?

This isn't going to help matters...

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh killed in Iran, group says
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were "assassinated" in the capital Tehran, Iranian state media reported.

There are no less than 2 Kite configurations here if you include Black Lilith and as its
the focus of the kite planet Lilith indicates the task to be accomplished which in Lilith's
case is often revengeful or at the very least pertaining to the type of negative emotions
we are all aware of. The midpoint of Venus-Saturn is occupied by Mars underlining the
cold, calm emotion involved.

Node on the 11th cusp is interesting - it is future oriented. Is someone trying to stymie hope
of a ceasefire?

Moon's exact conjunction to Jupiter (faith/spiritual) often appears in Religious Wars and reveals
Jove's darker side.

Greg,
I have not investigated the Mars return but it is an interesting angle and you can surely draw some conclusions.
Just a few comments
1) The Cross between Mars-Sun/Zeus-Uranus and the Aries Point is definitely a powerful combination regarding firearms, explosions and supreme violence overall.
2) When looking at a specific planet like Mars here, you need to check all Mars midpoints and see which planets are falling in one of those midpoints.
As an example for the recent station of Saturn, we had SA/VU=UR To be under guard while working which is what happened to Donald Trump now that he is followed more closely by the Secret Services. Any transit to UR will carry this midpoint structure.
3) You can also look at MA or MA midpoints in the Astro«Carto«Graphy to see where in the world this is most likely to happen.

Always interesting to read your posts,
Ouranos

Thanks, Ouranos, I always need reminding to look at the ACG maps maybe because I am a little wary of them. Sometimes they don't quite work as expected. No idea why it has this seeming inconsistency. On the other hand it often DOES work.

1) The Cross between Mars-Sun/Zeus-Uranus and the Aries Point is definitely a powerful combination regarding firearms, explosions and supreme violence overall.

Sadly true, there's no escaping that unfortunately.

2) Yes an interesting collection of Mars midpoints...Saturn/Neptune can be quite mournful and any appearance of Hades has a similar negative tone. Venus-Jupiter? The money behind the madness? The Worlds gone crazy - again.

Yes you're right, Ouranos, this time it is highly accurate and points squarely to Tel Aviv (& Istanbul).

Mars line for today's assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh goes through Tel Aviv and I particularly would worry about reprisals of some sort in consideration of the astrology of the next two days (see below) and also goes through Tel Aviv exactly for the Mars station chart. Mercury-Node line (persuading the world of one's case? communication problems? young people?). Both ACG's point to Israel.

That tiny strip of land gets a LOT of attention!

Not quite what was expected really (a situation on the world stage) but taking into account the potential in the UK of a substantial period of 'Summer Riots' from beginning of July 31st onto Aug 2 of violent behaviour in many of Britain's cities there would seem to be more consideration in taking it as a major event with future reverberations continuing for some time yet, possibly the whole Summer. and into Autumn. Timing of the dates gives an initiation of events congruent with the aforementioned Mar station and 9 Mars Gemini degree (re. aggressive nature) particularly as the station is set for London, capital of the country most effected (although Ireland also involved previously). Which brings me to the Parliament itself and PM Starmer's controversial (UR-Algol?) address to the nation on August 1st at 17.02 pm (written down by me from BBC). Note Uranus-Algol sitting on 6th cusp (working class/downtrodden etc).

Here is the chart and note the position of the aforementioned Mars in Gemini. On 7th cusp of 'open enemies'. Whether declaring war on your own people is a good or bad thing or otherwise an opportunistic way of imposing new laws and 'clampdowns' remains still to be seen.

A major conflict between Israel and Iran is on the verge of breaking out. Does anyone want to predict the start and end times of the war, as well as its scale?

Currently, Mercury is stationary, and it will start retrograding on August 6th.

On August 7th, Mercury will conjunct Venus, opposing Venus in the 7th house of Iran’s national chart.

The transiting Moon will oppose Mars and Mercury in the 8th house of Iran’s national chart.

On August 7th, Mars/The Moon - Paran Rise/Set to Culm/ACulm at a latitude of 27 degrees 30 minutes, precisely passing through the Straits of Tiran, Israel’s only outlet to the Red Sea. The Local Space lines of the Moon and Saturn pass through Lebanon, while the Neptune line passes through Israel.

It seems the likeliest day for an attack on Israel (7 Aug) mainly because of the triggering of the Mars-Jupiter square Saturn square by the transiting Moon. The next passing is 15 Aug which is over a week away. Whether it will blow up into WW3 is another matter and it would play into Trumps hands. It could be triggered by an angle I suppose but the Moon and Jupiter figures a lot in Arab charts I've noticed so yes I agree with you, Wei. Sadly.

The ACG's are v.interesting too.

7 June and 15 June of what year? Do the Iranians have a time travel machine and will travel back in time to attack Israel?

BTW, have you noticed Kamala Harris had just announced her running mate, on a Mercury retrograde? I wonder who will change their mind first.

Is there such a thing as Astrofatigue?

I don't really know where I got June from but it would be nice to write this Summer off completely and start all over again - this time with more sunshine and a proper 'silly season' from yesteryear.

Astrofatigue? Mercury flying in retrograde, more likely. He might be using the time machine, too.
