In the prisoner's chart, Mercury and Mars are members of a complex that also comprises Sun and Uranus. I want to look at Mercury and Mars in isolation now, however, because her progressed Mercury has come into exact square with her Mars natal. Any time a progression becomes exact, it requires and deserves attention. Let's look at Mercury squaring Mars.
The outsize ego manufactures a defensive red aura out to here, even though there is no one and nothing attacking. The mental and emotional readiness is always spoiling for a fight. The prisoner takes on challenges above her capacity.
She is acting without forethought in an undirected manner and always from a willful base of defiance. She is as immovable as a boulder on a variety of ideas & issues. Rules and regulations carry no weight with her. Premature and indiscriminate moves add to a heap of legal trouble and we have seen some of her essays already. There is a tenseness that feels like air pressure.
Her quills are up. Is self-control stronger for being constantly tested? The inclination to gain one's ends through fraudulent means is only increasing now that the Mercury - Mars square is partile precise. Because Mercury does represent children in the life, they give her a pain in the atlas and ought to be kept at a safe distance.
Another combination to scrutinize is Pluto coming to Prisoner's Neptune in Capricorn within minutes. This always produces shocks to the system as well as shocks in other people when they realize how far your representations stray and strayed from the truth. Holding onto them & to your phantasmagoria only leads to more pain when they are shredded by incisions from fact and truth. She faces setbacks from totally impractical management of her affairs. But then judgment of reality is piss poor when Uranus transits an afflicted Mercury. Progressed Mars on Neptune natal also dismisses the most pertinent factors whether in schemes, plots, strategies, plans or actuality. This progression is also responsible for the over-all instability we see in defense approach; it comes from attitudes of the prisoner.
Retain a thought for the prisoner's Sun Uranus progression from which she reserves an oh so special position for herself and which distorts the sense of her own worth. Underneath deportment in court, there is a complete lack of regard for law and order. She is one more rebel without a cause harboring a testy resentment of interference and a need to assert her personality. We do remember that personality, with the bared teeth that pass as a smile for the camera.
