Transits of Mars to Planets and Points

Techniques for Preparing for the Future and Understanding the Past

 

Overview:

The transits of Mars to planets and points in the natal chart are relatively brief influences, lasting approximately 2-3 days. Mars acts to energize and activate the conditions surrounding the planets and points it touches.

 

Mars Transits

Mars conjunct Sun
Taking action is the theme now. You may jump into something impulsively, do something you normally don't have the courage to do, or something you have always wanted to do but haven't had the chance to act out. Competitive activities are favored. Males or traditionally masculine activities figure prominently.

Mars sextile/trine Sun
Taking action on an instinctive level is the theme now. This is a good time to do something that requires additional bravery or courage, as this influence tends to release some of your inhibitions. You are living spiritedly now. It's an excellent influence for competitive activities, such as sports or business.

Mars square/opposition Sun
You are taking things quite personally now, and something that someone says or does now can easily rile you up. Challenges with those in authority or with males could figure. Impatience and impulsiveness tend to rule. You are in no mood to compromise just now. A tendency to be more accident-prone could be due to stress or physical exhaustion.

Mars conjunct Moon
Acting upon your emotions in some manner, or taking action in your home, could figure now with the fiery planet stimulating your emotional, domestic Moon. Depending on circumstances, there could be domestic friction, dealings with people who are frustratingly passive or indecisive, an invigorating project around the home, or an exciting emotional experience now. You could be especially defensive and emotional, or possessive and protective of loved ones. Acting on impulse is more likely now than usual.

Mars sextile/trine Moon
A pleasing emotional or sexual experience can be part of the picture now. Your emotions are spirited, your lust for life is strong, and you are willing to act on a hunch. There's nothing neutral about your feelings now, yet you still manage to come across as level-headed. This is a good time for projects around the home, sexual activity, and anything that involves putting your heart into what you do.

Mars square/opposition Moon
You are acting on your feelings right now, but it might get you into hot water if you are not truly in touch with what you want. You are capable of some childish or impulsive reactions during this transit. Tempers may flare, domestic squabbles are possible, and you could be feeling under the weather. If you are feeling particularly disgruntled, this could be a good time to get in touch with what has been brewing inside.

Mars conjunct Mercury
You are very busy and potentially very productive during this transit. Your ambition to complete projects, for example, is stimulated. You could be itching to express yourself, but not very receptive to others' points of view. As such, it can be hard to carry a satisfying and healthy conversation. Others might find you too aggressive when it comes to expressing your point of view. You are also inclined towards impulsive decision-making and off the cuff remarks.

Mars sextile/trine Mercury
It's easier than usual for you to make quick decisions, communicate with others directly and effectively, and to make serious progress in any projects or mental work now. You could be enthusiastic about a particular idea or concept. Lively conversations can figure. Your desire to solve problems is strong and your mental energy levels high. You are proactive, and willing to put your ideas into action.

Mars square/opposition Mercury
You won't accept opposition to your ideas right now, although you are likely to encounter it. You could be coming on too strong with your opinions or point of view. Resist turning an intellectual debate into an argument. Remember the adage that "haste makes waste", as your tendency to make quick decisions or to take shortcuts works against you now.

Mars conjunct Venus
Sexual and creative energy is high now. You are hungry for experience--you want to put into action many of your wants and desires. Although you might be a little too eager, and perhaps come across as insensitive, this could also be a time when you take the lead and make your move. You could be impulsive with your affections and/or your pocketbook during this transit. You have an opportunity now to take the initiative in order to achieve harmony and sexual fulfillment. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. Your romantic impulses may be more forceful and pressing. Some level of competition is present in your interactions with others.

Mars sextile/trine Venus
*Your desires are strong, and you will want to enjoy yourself. Romance is very possible. There is a basic drive to appreciate and taste life.

This is a wonderful moment for romance! You're in a loving, amorous mood, and if you have no lover at the moment, make something beautiful, luscious, and appealing in whatever arena you most enjoy. All creative acts are favored now. Dancing or some other vital and sensual self-expression would be especially satisfying.

This is a benefic and successful aspect; you are passionate, sexy and attractive. It is a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, romance and pleasure. You are now able to take the initiative and achieve harmony and sexual fulfillment in your romantic life. Although, do be careful, for there is some danger that the passions may overrule your usual discrimination. However, it is a harmonious and peaceful influence and it should bring fruitful relationships and satisfaction to the feelings, and to the emotional side of your nature. You may make permanent ties or relationships that prove to be successful and fortunate. This aspect strengthens the higher-nature and gives opportunities for the realization of hopes and wishes. It can bring financial gain, presents, social advantages, and the company of those who bring happiness and pleasure into your life. It will bring joy according to your power to respond; but if you go to extremes of feeling and allow sensation to overcome love, then you will suffer through such excess of emotion and thereby miss the genuine opportunities that are present. Nevertheless, if you choose wisely you may make this a most happy and successful period.

Mars square/opposition Venus
*You may feel emotionally frustrated. Your feelings are going against much of what you value, so make way for possible difficulty. Your enjoyment of life may be temporarily blocked.

Powerful desires and amorous feelings are stimulated now perhaps through an enticing interaction or personal encounter. You take the lead in social situations or attract personal attention. Coming on too strong, not picking up on subtle cues, or being inappropriate in a social sense are pitfalls of this time. Strive for a balance between taking the initiative and being sensitive and aware of others' needs and wants. If you are usually shy and unassertive, this is your moment to come out and take a risk even if you're a bit awkward.

Mars conjunct Mars
*A time of much energy and drive, perfect for starting something out or taking care of business. Very physical too. Exercise or romance is in order.

The courage to act decisively on your own behalf, to take the initiative, and to risk new ventures infuses you now. You confront issues head on rather than evade or avoid them, with the intention of standing up for your legitimate rights. If you are of a forceful temperament to begin with you may be pushy, overly aggressive, or come on too strong. Your physical and vital energies are stimulated and you need to be doing, acting, achieving, and taking charge. Strive to be forthright and brave, without being contentious.

Mars sextile/trine Mars
*A time of much energy and drive, perfect for starting something out or taking care of business. Very physical too. Exercise or romance is in order.

You are highly motivated, energized, and eager to do and to accomplish now, especially if you can determine your own pace and course. Your efforts tend to succeed because you act with an extra measure of confidence, certainty, and verve. This is an ideal time to take on daunting challenges that you might back away from on other days. Satisfying work and friendly competition is featured.

This is a good aspect for energy and health. You enjoy confidence, motivation, and healthy ambition. Use this period of personal drive for success in competitive pursuits, sports, or business.

Mars square/opposition Mars
*Harsh energy could leave you feeling emotionally blocked and frustrated. Don't try to push too hard. You are only fighting yourself. Wait this one out.

Your energies run hot and you could risk driving yourself too hard and burning yourself and others with too much passion or anger. Minor annoyances may feel like major aggravations; unexpressed frustration or hostility may erupt into the open; pushing, hurrying, or forcing things can lead to trouble. Slow down and cool down on every level: take the pedal off the metal, consciously slow your movements, drink or immerse yourself in cool water, avoid people and situations you know have the potential to rouse your ire. Observe how touchy and aggressive your ego tends to be right now, as if every thing that doesn't go your way is a personal affront, and have a good laugh at yourself!

*You have a lot of energy to pour into practical and career decisions. You may appear commanding and assertive.

Your warrior energy is activated now and you pursue your aims with courage, decisiveness, and brio. You don't want to be a sheep or to let life pass you by. Now is the time to make your mark, to advance your professional goals, to take charge of your life. Your ambitions or competitive spirit may provoke challengers or threaten superiors, but you're up for it! Keep your humor in the midst of the fray.

Mars sextile/trine Midheaven
*You have a lot of energy to pour into practical and career decisions. You may appear commanding and assertive.

You take a proactive, assertive, and eager attitude toward challenges and your ambitions. You could impress superiors with your vigor, as you are willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes. Opportunities to advance your standing or achieve a desire come to you now. Green light!

Mars square/opposition Midheaven
*Harsh feelings could flare up on the job or with authority figures. Cool it, and let this one pass.

You may not be moving ahead as you'd like, or you may find that you're struggling to get things done. Hurrying, irritability with family or people at work, and a disagreeable attitude can make this a tense time. Don't try to do more than you have to, or make deadlines for yourself that you then push yourself and others to meet. Chill out a little!
