Anger and Excitement

by Sandra Rozhon

After years of watching the charts of friends and family, I've come to the conclusion that there are three types of anger:

Ego anger

This is the type of anger that is generated by a blow to your concept of what you are (hence, ego). This occurs when transiting Mars negatively aspects your SUN. Squares and Oppositions trigger off a feeling of being insulted and wanting to rectify what someone's opinion is of you.

Emotional anger

This is the type of anger that is generated by a comment or situation that makes you feel hurt, unloved, unappreciated, etc. This occurs when transiting Mars negatively aspects your MOON. Squares and Oppositions trigger off a feeling of being rejected.

Irrational anger

Lastly, we have irrational anger. Those days when you just feel like lashing out at the world are usually caused by a transit of Mars to your natal MARS. Somebody looks at you cross-eyed and you just want to go over and pop them in the mouth. It starts out with a feeling of nervousness and tension building inside. Doesn't take much to get you to blow up when under a square or opposition.

To track these I've created a waveform graph. By filling in the proper dates when the aspects occur, it's easy to follow the swell and ebb of your emotional response to the world.

To try this out for yourselves, duplicate this graph by printing it out and above the words Trine and Conj write in the date that Mars makes those aspects to your SUN. Do the same below for the dates that Mars makes an opposition or square to your SUN. Watch how things develop around those dates (they won't be exact, but near enough for you to follow this graph). Do the same for the other two (MOON and MARS).

Around the days when you have trines or conjunctions, you'll be complimented or otherwise made to feel good about yourself -- a real natural high. It's a time of excitement of the best kind. The oppositions and squares are the low points of your year. Thank God there aren't too many of them to put up with in any given year.

On those occasions where Mars goes retrograde and passes over one of the aspects more than once before moving on, just write in the additional dates above (or below) the first contact date.

Here's an example I made up for myself (transiting Mars to my SUN)....

                                             Mars goes retrograde and makes
                                             three contacts (trines) before
                                             moving on to the square
                                           / 
                                    5/19/95
                                    1/31/95
    6/18/93     12/15/93  5/20/94   12/3/94   11/27/95    4/29/96

It resembles a biorythym chart but is actually tracking a particular
planet as it aspects one of your natal planets.  I applied the following
rating to develop this graph:  Trine = 2, Conj = 1, Opp = -1, Sq = -2.
