From September 22nd to November 4th, Mars moves through secretive Scorpio, where the planet of action and aggression goes undercover. During this period, hold your cards close to your chest. When you keep up your poker face and refrain from blurting out all your thoughts, you have more time to carefully assess your situation. Pay attention to the subtle undercurrents of your conversations or the shifting atmosphere of any rooms you scuttle into. Note any sly glances or sneaky power plays, and use this intel to sharpen your own game plans. Over the coming weeks, don’t take any guidance from Captain Obvious. Instead, practice digging for the kind of truth that’s hidden beneath the surface.
Mars is at home in this fixed water sign, which is one of the warrior planet’s domiciles. Yet this placement also has a shadow side. If you notice yourself questioning others’ motives or acting dodgy for no reason, take a breath. You don’t have to keep everyone in the dark; you can let down your guard and seek trustworthy allies who can help you achieve your goals. And find healthy outlets for any simmering anger, since Mars in Scorpio has a knack for bottling up difficult feelings. Moving your body, venting to a friend, or spilling all the juicy details in your own private burn book can be productive ways to release your frustrations before they boil over.
This transit nudges us to get in touch with our deepest impulses. Sound intense? It is. Take this opportunity to slice through superficial distractions and plot your next chess move. There’s no time to waste.
From July 20th to September 4th, Mars — the planet of action and drive — moves through chatty, flexible, and inquisitive Gemini. During this time, we get a little more oomph to follow through on our intentions and inspirations. That being said, Mars in Gemini can run hot, and it can stir up urges to jump into social media dumpster fires, to debate for debate’s sake, and to insist on having the last word.
Communication can build bridges of understanding — or it can devolve into an empty echo chamber of anger. Over the next few weeks, our job is to spot the difference. When we do, Mars in Gemini reminds us just how powerful our words and ideas can be — not as abstractions or virtue signals, but as tangible tools to help us solve problems and create something new.
From April 30th to June 8th, Mars zooms through Aries. The planet of action is at home in this fire sign. It’s daring, fast, and ready to go — with or without the green light. Here, Mars is all about an “act now, think later” attitude. For the next few weeks, you’re invited to stoke your own flames, get a bit bolder and braver, and be your own biggest hype person. That being said, if you feel an urge to win at all costs, check it at the door. It helps to clarify the whys behind your choices, and extra reflection time will allow you to cool off as needed. No matter what, Mars in Aries reminds us that we’re active participants in our own lives. If decisiveness unnerves you, great — try it out anyway. Live a little.
