Summary

In episode 479 of The Astrology Podcast, astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best delve into the repeating historical patterns underlying Mars retrograde in Cancer periods, specifically within the context of United States history. During the course of the episode we explore how these retrogrades, which occur roughly every 15-17 years, coincide with significant events and recurring themes in American history. By examining past instances of Mars retrograde in Cancer, our goal is to provide perspective on current events and potential future developments. The discussion begins with an explanation of the Mars retrograde cycle and its unique characteristics, including its varying durations and the signs it retrogrades through. We emphasize the importance of looking at the entire period Mars spends in Cancer, including the time before and after the actual retrograde station, to fully grasp its impact. After that we proceed to discuss the specific dates and degrees of Mars retrogrades in Cancer, starting with the year of the US Constitution's ratification and moving forward. In particular we highlight the 79-year repetition of Mars retrogrades in Cancer, which is based on the Babylonian Goal-Year periods, and how it aligns with important turning points in American history. We also note the shorter 47-year and 32-year repetitions, which coincide with other planetary cycles. During the course of the episode we explore the themes that emerge during these Mars retrograde periods, including important turning points related to immigration, civil rights, and economic shifts. The episode concludes with a reflection on the potential implications of these historical patterns for the present and future.

0:00.0	Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the Astrology Podcast.
0:04.0	Joining me today as astrologer, Nick Dagan Best, and we're going to be looking at Mars and
0:07.9	cancer in history, especially focusing on United States history.
0:12.9	Hey, Nick, thanks for joining me.
0:15.1	Thanks for having me back, Chris. Great to be here.
0:18.0	Yeah, we are back again. Last month, we did a landmark episode where we did
0:22.7	Venus retrograde and Ares in history, which repeats every eight years. And we took that back
0:28.7	more than a century. And we found a ton of really striking correlations in the past when
0:35.4	Venus went retrograde with events that were actually happening
0:38.3	either in the news today that had already happened or there was actually a bunch of other
0:43.3	events that happened after that so much so that we did a, I did a follow-up episode talking
0:48.5	about all the news that came up. So I wanted to do something similar with you here today
0:52.2	with Mars based on this premise that
0:55.2	when a planetary cycle of a planet repeats, sometimes there's an echo or a repetition of
1:02.4	things from the past that happen again in the present. Yeah. So last month, you weren't able
1:08.5	to join me for that follow-up because we had a tech snafu, but I'm glad you're back with me today.
1:14.0	Yep. It's great. The gear's working. We're ready to go. I was really bummed out to miss that last
1:19.7	one, but I'm really excited for this. Everyone's in for another treat.
1:24.4	Awesome. Excellent. All right. So I wanted to do this episode because there is a lot of just crazy
1:32.2	insane stuff happening in the news right now in the United States as Mars is slowing down and getting
1:39.1	ready to station direct after its retrograde period in cancer. And clearly this is coinciding with a lot of major
1:46.7	events and a huge turning point, essentially in U.S. history at a number of different levels.
