When Mars — the planet of action, aggression, and drive — moves through practical Capricorn from December 14th, 2025, to January 23rd, 2026, it turns into a powerhouse. This cardinal earth sign is notoriously ambitious, and it isn’t afraid of logging the hours necessary to get the job done. Working late on a project? No problem. Mars is exalted in this sign, which means it has all the resources it needs to achieve its goals. It’s extra productive, and it doesn’t underestimate the time and effort it takes to create something great. Quick results? No, thanks. Make this your motto: “Do it for the legacy.”
The shadow side of all that hustling? A tendency to overdo it. In this placement, Mars can keep pushing even when it’s running on fumes. While this stamina is admirable, it’s also important to take breaks. No one is actually superhuman, and no one is immune to burnout. Getting rest, having fun, and generally enjoying your life doesn’t make you lazy, no matter who tells you otherwise. Spacing out every now and then is essential for refreshing your mind and re-energizing your body. So while you’re mapping out all your impressive plans, add “take it easy” to your to-do list. After all, what’s the point of getting so much done if you never slow down to savor what you’ve accomplished?
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.
