Mars – Selena Conjunction – As If by Magic

The place where the White Moon, or Selena, is located is a point of endless resource, light, and protection from higher powers. It is precisely in this area that the native’s ancestors performed the greatest number of good deeds, thanks to which their descendants will be accompanied by luck and well-being. However, it also happens that the impartial cosmic mind considers the chart holder themselves not to meet the criteria of goodness and leads them to understanding through suffering.

This is especially clearly seen when Selena conjoins the so-called malefic planets. Any departure from the principles of goodness and justice is fraught with an instant boomerang, as in the case of aspects with Mars. The advantage is that in the process of conjunction, Selena initially illuminates the planet’s good qualities: bravery, courage, decisiveness, and nobility in any duel, when one does not strike in the back someone who has fallen. In addition, the gift of the White Moon is the fulfillment of any desires connected with the theme of the House where it is placed.

Features of the Selena – Mars Conjunction

Although Selena is not a planet but a hypothetical mathematical point, it is closely connected with the subconscious and ancestral memory, just like Lilith. The influence of the White Moon has been studied less than that of the Black Moon, because evil is always more obvious and more noticeable than good. The person takes protection and support from above for granted; it seems to them that this is simply how their life is arranged. Yet if the events of the House and sign of the aspect are analyzed, it becomes clear that they have never had financial losses or dismissals if the Selena – Mars conjunction is in the Second House, and as soon as they dream of stable income, someone immediately calls and invites them to a prestigious position. Black magicians cannot harm the native when the aspect is in the Eighth House; friends and representatives of the opposite sex love them when it is in the Fifth or Seventh House; and in the First House, the person is initially a bright, vivid, and interesting personality.

Over a short period of practical work with charts in which Selena is aspected, the most frequently encountered meanings of its conjunction with Mars can be identified:

• from the age of three, the person already shows themselves as an active fighter for justice and later always stands up to defend the weak;
• an innate sense of self-worth: the native knows their value, does not climb over other people’s heads, yet they are noticed in the crowd anyway;
• the ability to defend their point of view and ideals to the end, see the opponent’s weak spots, and get ahead of the blow not through fighting, but by deflecting aggression or redirecting it back toward the offender — a kind of psychoenergetic aikido;
• protection from bullying, sexual assault, conflict-prone and malicious people: the holder of the aspect is not persecuted at school and is not attacked in a dark alley;
• incredible, almost magical fulfillment of desires in the theme of the House where Mars conjoins Selena, especially in fire signs, where the red planet is particularly strong.

The person’s good karma is conditioned by the choices of their ancestors in critical situations, when they showed courage, strength of spirit, and nobility in the face of danger. This is the karma of brave warriors, defenders of the weak, and victors over evil.

However, it also happens that Mars is in a weak position, for example in Libra or Taurus, where it is naturally uncomfortable. This indicates the need to learn the courage to be oneself and to become an initiative-taking person. Selena helps develop strong Martian qualities, but the person themselves must take the first step, and then the Higher Powers will support them.

Dangers of the Mars – Selena Conjunction

The bonuses of good karma always work, even if the person is not especially positively inclined. Initially, the aspect gives a striving to serve good, but the influence of other negative connections between planets and the environment in which the native grows up must not be discounted.

The return of the White Moon happens every seven years, when either a reward comes for loyalty to ideals or a karmic boomerang arrives: all the evil that has been created falls upon the chart holder. However, during these seven years, the person’s negatively colored desires may be fulfilled just as easily as good ones, because in the conjunction of Mars with Selena, the red planet is essentially much stronger. If the person consciously strives to do something bad, the White Moon does not have a sufficient arsenal to resist it.

At most, the native is shown the sad consequences of their aspirations through the example of other people, and then it depends on them whether they stop or go further. As a rule, such desires arise under the strong influence of Lilith on Mars through a square or opposition, or during a transiting conjunction of the Black Moon with the natal aspect, when the native is literally torn apart by the choice between good and evil, darkness and light.

How to Work Through the Selena – Mars Conjunction

If the chart holder shows initiative, moves toward their fears, and leaves the comfort zone for the place that seems difficult and stressful, they will always receive support from above and gain their reward, sometimes even more than they dared to dream of. This works in any matter, but especially in the theme of the House and sign where the Mars – Selena conjunction occurred.

If the native is cowardly, lazy, and postpones necessary matters indefinitely, then naturally the White Moon will not bring any fateful changes.

In this case, the person can count on heavenly protection in stressful situations, general conflicts, and sudden incidents: for example, falling from a tree, the native will not break anything; in a quarrel with her husband, such a girl will not receive a punch in the nose; and a man will not meet a robber in a dark entryway. However, it is better to develop courage, decisiveness, and the principles of noble behavior as much as possible. Then the Universe itself will be on the native’s side in any undertaking.  ✓
