Red hot Mars, the warrior planet of assertive action and rising libidos stays in a single sign for just under two months, before charging forth to conquer its next new frontier.
Its planetary motion remains fighting forward the whole year long – Mars will not turn retrograde in 2019.
In Astrology (and in addition to what your personal Horoscope tells…) the 4th rock from the Sun activates our driving force, our motivation and fighting styles. This doesn’t mean its pistols at dawn every time Mars in town, but it does mean you’ll be pushed to find new ways to dominate and get what you want, according to where in the skies, this fiery front-runner lies.
In this collective horoscope, Mars charges through Aquarius, the eleventh sign of the zodiac.
Under this sky, the collective energy feels inventive, unconventional and always future-focused.
Expect the Unexpected
Expect yourself to be drawn to the more unusual people, places and sides of life. Whenever Aquarius is at play, eccentricity rules, so in work don’t be surprised if the same old hum-drum tasks and activities drive you to despair! Instead, anything which asks you to think outside the box or travel down a unique-looking path will feel all the more alluring!
All About Team-Work
Despite being a true front-runner, Mars in Aquarius is also a loyal team player. You’ll likely enjoy working with others, especially if you’re all championing a cause that is bigger than you. As the energy signature of the social activist, your priorities (along with everyone around you) will be firmly set on activities and projects that serve will the greater good.
So whether it’s serving soup at a homeless shelter, gathering with placards outside government buildings, or an email campaign against fracking, your focus will be less on “what’s in it for me?” and more on “how can I save the world?”
Gadget Guru
With Aquarius’ ruler Uranus in the mix, you may also see your interest in new technologies raised. If there’s a gadget out there to make life easier, you’ll bet it will appear under this Mars transit! In fact, all number of new and innovative ways to do the most basic life tasks could be discovered and launched under this ingenious, leading-edge sky.
Bad days could see the fiery flare of the red planet combine with Aquarius’ rebellious streak to create a reckless energy. Be sure to have enough going on to keep the good fight alive (time to rally those activist allies!) or you’ll be creating a war where there’s no real enemy in sight.
