On June 29th, Mars will move into the sign of Aries where it will be until 2021. Since we have been treading water with multiple water energies, the fire is steering away from our feelings and going to boost morale, self-confidence, and initiate something new. As Mars moves into Aries, there is an abundance of courage, ambition, and energy. Its fiery nature increases motivation, courage, self-determination, and self-confidence. As we all adjust to this unstoppable energy, what spark will it ignite in you?
Launching into New Territory
Used in a positive way, this cosmic energy will propel you into new dreams, activities, and spaces. Mars energy brings out our inner pioneer. So, channel this energy by taking a leap of faith to launch a new project or initiative with enthusiasm. If Mars was a novel, it would have plot lines filled with hero/heroine archetypes, action, adventure, and daring situations, while throwing in some passionate romance. Yet, Mars in Aries will be so much more than a love and war scenario.
How do you take initiative, blaze ahead, or make split-second decisions? Aries rules a specific house in your chart, and this is where the energy will be manifesting until 2021. It will give you insights into how you move ahead, take action, or just blow off steam. If it is in your 2nd house of money, you may feel you are spending more than you thought. There can be more bills or opportunities to spend. Mars in the 5th brings the courage to pursue love. If you have someone in mind, expect sparks to fly. The impulsiveness comes into play here with unexpected pregnancies, or you are just super busy with your kids. Mars in the 3rd house, represents heated conversations, busy times, running errands, or just running/driving more. Remember Aries loves to speed, so try to contain a heavy foot, and avoid a need to rush or road rage situations. Mars can represent where the aggressor energies can come into play too. In the third house, it can be on the road, neighbors, siblings, or any form of communication. Read those emails before you hit reply all.
Think before you Leap
Aries can get a bad rap, and for good reason. While there are many positive attributes, there is a delicate balance between the levels of energy manifestation. In ancient astrology, Mars is considered a malefic planet. Yep, it is associated with accidents, destruction, war, violence, combat, and aggression. Mythically, Mars is the warrior energy that can be competitive, and some of the best outlets for this includes playing sports, or physical activity. The challenge with Mars in Aries is people can push themselves to the point of burnout and exhaustion.
In addition, Mars runs hot and represents passion, libido, inflammation, or fevers. While some may feel the need for speed and race cars or do daredevil activities, be aware of the potential of being impulsive, forceful, or making rash decisions that can lead to danger or accidents. Mars in Aries has a reservoir of courage to dive in and take the fast track. Just be cautious to not sidestep or bypass the strategic planning. Mars energy gives courage and confidence; yet, it walks a thin line with arrogance and ego. Keep it real and dive into the goals you want to accomplish with the Aries enthusiasm.
Love Astrology
For the fire signs, what a fun time to ignite or rekindle the passion in your love life. Mars hot vibes can be smoldering in your love zone. In love astrology, this is a great time to go after love with confidence. Remember this energy is here until January 2021 and adjusting to the high intensity and dynamic energy is going to keep life busy. All fire signs will feel invigorated, and want to push ahead. While Cancer, Capricorn, and Libra might feel this rough, tough, pushy energy gets them on edge.
