Mars enters Aries today and will stay there until January 6th, 2021. Buckle your seatbelts, because this is going to be a long, fiery ride! Typically, Mars transits a zodiac sign for approximately six weeks at a time, but due to a retrograde period, Mars will be in Aries for a bit over six months! This means you may experience a prolonged sense of agitation and tension.
In astrology, Mars represents your drive, instincts, and temperament. With Mars sliding out of its copresence with Neptune in Pisces and bolting into Aries (Mars’s domicile), you’ll no long feel so groggy. Instead, the spark of inspiration will strike you, and the overwhelming urge to act on your desires may take hold. This can be wonderful energy for initiations of all kinds- a workout regimen, the launch of a new venture. This transit may even help you find the courage to stick up for yourself, and kick those haters to the curb! However, it’s important to note that Mars in Aries isn’t the best at tactics, and taking caution may be difficult at this time. Mars in Aries likes to do, not think, and with Mars squaring off against Mercury in Cancer for the first month of this transit, this may just be a recipe for emotional explosions.
Things are going to get hot, and this energetic heatwave will persist for the rest of 2020. This transit will likely play out collectively in relation to recent protests about systemic racism and the COVID-19 pandemic. People have been stuck at home for the past three months, and they’re dying to get out and be free. Likewise, large demographics of people have been systemically chained to the bottom of society, and that same desire for freedom is growing. Mars in Aries can only be contained for so long until it bursts out its cage, full of rage and ready to fight. Honestly, things may get scarier than they have been since the protests began, and we should all prepare ourselves for that possibility. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that Mars in Aries is a survivor. This transit will not destroy us. You will survive.
