Not only did we enter a new lunar month on Friday, one centered on friends, community, and social connection, but Mars is now is Aries. After six listless weeks in Pisces, Aries is a much needed boost for the planet of action and determination. Time to get motivated.
So, what does this mean? Mars is right at home in Aries, the sign that it rules. And when a planet is in its home sign, it’s strong, effortlessly gets the job done. In in highest expression, Mars in Aries is the bravery to start over. It’s the courage to make things happen. It’s the warrior, the firefighter, the athlete. But we have to recognize Mars in Aries in its lowest expression — rage, violence, aggression, war. Mars also cuts and severs.
Every sign, every planet has a dual expression of shadow and light. Just be mindful not to lose your temper over the coming weeks. Channel Mars into healthy activities like fitness or taking initiative on something new. Be courageous. Use Mars’s fighting spirit to stand up for others. After all, we just had an Aquarius New Moon. It’s all about humanity now, it’s all about equality and fraternity.
