MARS OUT OF BOUNDS: (AYANA BALA): Jan. 1st UNTIL April 7, 2025
I always learn a lot from my Western astrological friends and we have an interesting case for Mars coming through April , where Mars continues out of bounds, abbreviated as OBB. From a Western astrological viewpoint, planets are out of bounds if they exceed 23.27 degrees north or south of the equator. This concept does exist in Vedic astrology as Ayana Bala.
We all know that the Sun reaches its maximum northern declination at the summer solstice and its maximum winter declination at the winter solstice so we can understand that. The Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars have potential extreme declinations at different parts of the year that can be too far north or too far south. In Vedic astrology, declination is called Kranti in Vedic astrology. Vedic programs like Sri Jyoti Star do calculate this information on the Astronomical Data function and there are precedents for looking at declinations in concepts like Lata and Vidhara, which is connected to the Sun and the Moon and can be difficult for muhurthas and create emotional imbalances. For those of you who know the Bala systems in Vedic astrology, the measure of out-of-bounds was calculated by
the ancients through Ayana Bala. (Special thanks to Juliana Swanson for her knowledge of the appropriate Vedic terms)
Mars is currently retrograde in the Sign of Cancer and going retrograde into Gemini retrograde on Jan. 20th. The last time Mars was out of bounds in the sign of Cancer was in Feb 3-March 15, 2010.
Starting Jan. 1st , Mars will be out of bonds. What does it all mean? Out-of-bounds planets tend to have extreme levels of personality which may seem a bit abnormal and in contrast to the norms of society. They tend to display more creative thinking, can be more visionary, and inspirational, and require extreme freedom of thought and action. This may be a great winter for athletes to display extreme skill and energy in sports and will make for good watching in the basketball playoff and hockey playoffs and in the football playoffs.
When Mars is out of bounds, it may be bolder, ultra-masculine, have strong physical vitality and passion, and have a strong urge for adventure and display extreme boldness and leadership and be very confident. In 2019 Mars was out of bounds, I noticed that the stock the market would not stop going up because the risk-taking is so much apart of speculation and investment and Out of Bounds Mars keeps throwing caution to the wind.
I need to complete a correlation between huge bull market moves and Mars out of bounds but it makes sense with Mars governing risk- taking and gambling. In 2022, the bottom of the stock market was in Oct 13th and Mars out of bounds started Oct. 22nd at the low and led to huge run. even See our financial site, www.fortucast.com to keep track of our daily updates on the stock market. We never base any prediction on just one thing.
When Mars is out of bounds, it can lead to more self-centered energy but also extremes in courage, endurance, and passion. When afflicted the dark energies of Mars can come out such as violence, anger, impulsive energy, excessive force, and capable of picking unprovoked fights. During this upcoming Mars out of bounds, it is a bit weaker in Cancer but strong in the constellation owned by Jupiter of Purnavasu (Gemini 20-Cancer 3.20) Mars is not happy in Gemini (Jan 21-April 2nd) where it tends to pick fights and get into disputes. In Cancer Jan. 1-21st, it can repress the need to fight but then flare out. Pluto will be opposing Mars in Cancer on Jan. 3rd and within a few crucial degrees, the week before and after.
With Mars out of bounds in transit this winter and spring, you are going to have to go out of your way to be kind, accommodating, and working with others because Mars is going to take over in wanting to be stubborn, doing it “my way” and exercising extreme force to get it done. Watch out for crazy drivers on the roads as they will have a tendency to pass wildly and take more chances. During past Mars out of bonds (OBB) I watched a group of daredevil motorcyclists on the highway weaving uncontrollably in front of people. On the positive side, it may show signs of being outrageously funny and sarcastic and not concerned entirely about hurting someone’s feelings, It will be a long winter and spring so find ways to stay cool and keep Mars is under control so he does not do too much damage. Make sure you drink plenty of coconut water to avoid getting overheated and avoid spicy foods and chili peppers that fuel the fire. On the positive side, Aries and Scorpio are Rising, and Cancer and Gemini rising and Leo rising may benefit from the extra energy and courage to tackle difficult projects and barrel through with extra power but be be careful about walking on others’ toes. As Mars has been moving toward out of bounds, I have found myself being more independent, assertive, and pushing through boundaries—sometimes for the better but sometimes running over my wife in the process. Again awareness about what is going on will allow us to be more conscious so we do not hurt others. Drive carefully and watch out for the other guy. A few years back during the last OBB, when I was in Chicago, I was amazed at the high number of people driving like crazy people, passing on the right at extreme speeds and weaving through lanes as if they were going to get somewhere faster. This is a great example of the afflicted Mars being out of control and now we have to add out-of-bounds to the mix so drive carefully and find a way to be cooperative rather than aggressive. So be safe out there!
FAMOUS OUT-OF-BOUNDS PERSONALITIES:
Katherine Hepburn (May 12, 1907, 17:47 pm, Hartford, CT) is an example of a famous person who had an out-of-bound Mars in her natal chart. She was quoted as saying once, “If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” She was dearly loved for her enthusiasm and sense of adventure and was fond of wearing men’s slacks at a time when women were in dresses. She had a very bold woman of her time and did not wear make-up off-screen and was admired for her independence and ability to compete with her male stars. She earned 12 Academy Award nominations and won 4 of them. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_Hepburn
