In this return the problem was not the cold, on the contrary…
The difficulties of the project were enormous, but I was very lucky and, above all, I was in the United Arab Emirates of Dubai which I consider a motor of liberalism like few others in the world.
Once, many many years ago, a mother and daughter, adults, of Jewish origins, who had recently moved to our country, came to consult me, because of that feeling that determined their diaspora for millennia. In practice they were fleeing, but who knows why, entering Italy, they had chosen an absolutely Jewish surname.
I advised them, for their daughter’s birthday, I think, that year, a trip to Dubai.
On their return they came to tell me.
They were leaving from Fiumicino (at the time there were few flights) and while the plane was already on the runway, it was stopped. The Emirates station manager came on board and asked, shouting, who the ladies XXX were. The poor women, quite scared, followed him off the plane. And the man shouted at them: “But you are Jewish and you want to go to Dubai?”
And they: “Yes, but we are open to all religions and…”
“Not me!!”
In the meantime, the man, in front of them, received a phone call from the Emirates manager in Dubai who, after putting him to attention, ordered him to apologize to the ladies and take them back on board!
In Dubai, the XXX ladies were welcomed with the utmost cordiality and this anticipated by decades the Abraham Accords that would have made something happen that just a few years ago amazed the world: the recognition of Israel by Dubai which was the first country on Earth, if I am not mistaken, to open an embassy in Jerusalem and not in Tel Aviv!
And we come to this return trip that you see here translated into an image by the wonderful AI of Photoshop.
As many of you will remember, both before and after having released the measurement of 2.5 degrees for a cusp, I did thousands of tests, on myself and on others, to test this border point and on that occasion I needed to go a few hundred kilometers from Dubai, where there are hundreds of oil wells, and stop for a few minutes near one of them, but not just any one, but rather a particular well that, in latitude and longitude, offered me that particular Lunar Revolution.
Accustomed to the way things are in the world where even in Milan (until “yesterday” …) it was forbidden to photograph the works of Caravaggio in a museum, I expected much greater censorship and dangers and even the possibility of an arrest.
I discussed it the evening before with the manager of the Hilton Jumeirah in Dubai Marina where I always went, at that time, when with very modest sums you could have the most unbridled luxury imaginable.
I asked that the driver who would take me there the next morning also attend the chat.
I first gave them a short lesson in Active Astrology and the two were very taken, I think for professional reasons, and didn’t miss a single word of my bad English. Nor did they make jokes.
I asked them direct questions like: is it possible? Won’t they arrest me? Do I need special permits?
On the third question, they didn’t even answer me because my request was so absurd that perhaps it didn’t deserve an answer.
There were three huge problems:
1) Getting to the right place when cell phones had just appeared and certainly didn’t have GPS.
2) Being able to stay still for about half an hour because I couldn’t risk being late and I had to be there half an hour early. How would the guards armed to the teeth react, seeing a white SUV stopped for half an hour a hundred meters from an oil well?
3) Driving away as if nothing had happened.
As I said, in my experience, Dubai is almost a place “of the future”, where the noun “liberalism” takes on the fullness of its meaning.
The mission went very well, no one even came close to asking for anything and I was able to put to good use a new proof of the validity of the 2.5 degrees.
On that occasion I used one of the first models of the Garmin GPS locator.

Dear Ciro,

Dear Giancarlo, I advise you to go to Marystown, Newfoundland, Canada, on February 9, 2025, at 04:41 London time. I urge you, however, to understand well this operation that you will activate with your next birthday: I am advising you only a small move and, apparently, only a small change, that is, removing Saturn from the fifth House and putting Venus on the cusp between the fourth and fifth Houses. This is a small change, but it produces big results. However, you cannot think that it will solve all the problems in your life and a detailed description of what to expect, you can find in my book “Transits and Solar Returns”. Remember that Active Astrology means, first of all, full awareness of what we are going to activate by changing our return sky and we cannot implement this operation if we behave as if we were doing simple magic. Best wishes.
Dear Ciro,
Thank you for this comment. I think it’s very important to remind that we must be aware of all the aspects of the new return. It stresses your knowledge and wisdom. Active astrology is a way of life, a new way we can see reality, not magic and we have to learn to go with the flow in order to take the better, which means that AA isn’t a passive way of see life at all! Thank you 🙂
Yes, Margherita, there is nothing more proactive and active than Active Astrology.
Dear Ciro,
Thank you. May I ask a question ? This afternoon I remembered that Mars is in retrograde in the sign of Cancer. I simplify the question: in the birth time correction protocol how to evaluate a Mars retrograde on a cusp ? Will the unpleasant fact concern the house from which it leaves or the house to which it returns ? Thanks to your studies we know that the entry of Mars into the houses always involves some problem in that area.Here is my case, if you would like to consider it. Mars has transited the cusp of my 12th house these days (the range I’m studying goes from 29° Cancer – 3°20′ Lion) . I noticed that I first had strong indigestion and a few days later news of a bad surprise for a friend of mine.
Now since it is in retrograde, how to interpret ? when the planet returns to the cusp of 12th is the event always inherent in 12th or 11th? I would say the 12th : that would explain its presence on the cusp on Dec. 26 and the bad news for my friend on Jan. 1 (so at the time it was back in 11th). It would be just one piece to add to my research, I am indeed aware that correction is an arduous protocol and one has to accumulate a lot of evidence. Thank you
Margherita, this is a very complex topic and I have “spread” it in several of my books.
First of all, let’s note, as you certainly know, that I personally do not attribute any negative or “esoteric” value to a retrograde star compared to the same direct star. However, its retrogradation can also be read “in a physical sense”. Remember, again, that for me it remains a mystery that, after several dozen years of studies on this topic, I cannot explain why, especially when we try to correct a birth time, we must consider Mars on the precise degree of a cusp and not in the 2.5 degrees of range. Why? I do not know and Urania has never answered me on this topic. But that’s how it is.
Now, regarding its stationing close to a cusp, there will be more than one entry into a House and there will be several events that tell us about this. We are not always careful to read and decipher them all, but there are many. And there are many realities that we still do not understand.
For example, I discovered that my stars make me move easily in domestic spaces, until about mid-day. Then, when the afternoon begins, I have difficulty moving in the same spaces because I meet or “clash” with Daniela or other people between one room and another. What does this depend on? I don’t know and maybe I’ll never know.
There are still so many things we should discover.
Hi Ciro
the correction of the birth time with mars, is done by looking at what day of the month an event related to the house occurred? specifically the event occurs on the day that mars enters the next house? thanks master
Yes, that is true. But the details of this summary explanation are explained in several of my books and with many practical examples.
