For the first time, The Mars Course encompasses Adam’s 12 years of sky-breaking research and delineation techniques of the 13 phases in the Mars-Sun cycle. In this rich and extensive exploration of Mars at both levels of consciousness – personal evolution and collective contribution, Adam undermines most of the superficial renderings of the Red Planet by pointing you to the nature of the sacred Masculine itself – the drive to do what we are!
Among the few astrologers who work with planetary cycles, it is popular to use archetypal designations to contextualize the varying phases within a cycle. By contrast, Adam’s use of a planet’s Sky Factors© to contextualize, inform and distinguish phase meanings supports us in embodying a planets’ significations through its phases. This is because (using Mars as an example), rather than trying to live UP to an ideal Masculine (archetypes), we are looking to increasingly live IN to our drive to excel and live our Purpose which is immediate and always available to us (visible Sky Factors).
The BONUS article, Introduction to Synodic Phases & The Mars Cycle and Phases, is something of a mystery teaching on the Masculine principle. It goes into more detail around the Mars Journey “as a process of becoming increasingly released into a transpersonal or transcendent intimacy with Source through appropriate, engaged activity.”
“When I heard Adam talking about this way of working with Mars in an interview he did, I immediately resonated and knew that he was right and that this was very important information for people to understand what they were meant to be doing in their lifetime on the Path.” – Cherry B.
“I appreciated expanding my awareness of synodic approaches to interpretation, it’s a needed new edge and helps get astrologers out of the 2D mindset.” – Nancy F.
