As you know, a new 2-year phase of activity begins when a Mars Return clocks in. So below you see a bi-wheel with the natal horoscope of "His Majesty" (in his own mind) surrounded by the Mars Return to Inaugural 2025 position chart.
Yet the first time transit Mars reached this position (of 24Can23:37 - out-of-bounds of the Earthly plane and conjunct US Mercury Rx on July 4, 1776 = verbal combat, competition, vehicles replaced or repaired - like Teslas?) in our current time frame was actually on October 20, 2024 so Inauguration 2025 qualifies as a Mars Return to that date and position; see event links, below).
Then on April 3, 2025, a Mars Return to the Inauguration 2025 Horoscope perfects at the Sabian Symbol of "25Cancer" = "A Leader of Men Wrapped in An Invisible Mantle of Power"; this indicates that transit Mars will also oppose US 1776 Pluto on April 11, 2025 (the third opposition of three), and this is the hostile "contest of wills; urge for dominance; plans for control" transit which may even reveal the use of blackmail:
Mars-Saturn the "death axis" with erratic Uranus
Perhaps you spy my attempt to overlay the pattern on April 3, 2025 of a Minor Grand Trine between Mars-Saturn-Uranus (and His Majesty's natal Midheaven, the Point of Aspiration and Recognition) with the planetary trio's potentials listed, lower right corner); fatality may be involved. Yes, this planetary pattern often represents talent but in this case, I'd say at the least that it describes opportunities for actions that will affect his nibs' Career and Public Status - and through him, America and the American people.
Additionally, the repetition of the number 24 four times (Mars-Saturn-Uranus-and his MC) is karmic or fated - as is Mercury Rx in Nodal Degree - and according to Kozminsky's The Symbols and Meanings of Numbers (#ad), 24 represents the number of Cain as listed in the center of the circle. Notably, the TV show "24" was all about violence, as you may remember. Such "entertainment" has always been intended to accustom the public, if you know what I mean.
Now Back to the Bi-Wheel:
Mars Return Ascendant @27AQ12 = @28AQ: "A Tree Felled and Sawed"; this is the late afternoon position of US Moon on July 4, 1776 (Keyword: IMMEDIACY-Jones) and We the People are certainly being treated like that these days along with the US government. Subversive saboteurs are in a mighty big hurry to bring America down.
Meanwhile, conjunct the ASC is asteroid Eros, known for his piercing ability. Then at Midheaven, the Goal Point, we find 11Sag13 = "12Sag": "A Flag That Turns Into An Eagle That Crows" (negative expression: idle prejudices and unsubstantiated claims-Jones). You recognize this degree as that of the Pluto-Chiron Conjunction of December 1999 with its exploitation, primal violence, racism, fascism, socialism, and other -ism vibes now influencing this "New Millenium."
Other astro-notes are penned on the image for the curious.
Now in closing, we know that planet Mars tends to initiate or activate events so a quick check of US events around the October 20, 2024 date turns up at least two occurrences which relate to aggressive actions brought due to bad behavior (the negative use of Mars' energy and motivation functions): Five Civil Lawsuits are filed against Sean "Diddy" Combs for sex*al assault and r*pe, and The Central Park Five file a lawsuit against "His Majesty".
For the sake of curiosity, you may wish to check out the natal chart of Isodore Kozminsky (RR: C; rectified) born in 1870 in Australia, a double Scorpio.
