Read for your Sun and rising sign.
Aries or Aries Rising — Travel, higher education, teaching, philosophy. This is a Mars that needs to travel, hopping on a plane or getting in a car, and you may be longing for far flung destinations. If you can’t travel, you may be taking a journey of the mind through education and specialized study. Law, religion, and philosophy will be highlighted as well. Time for a leap of faith.
Taurus or Taurus Rising — Finances, intimacy, sharing, the psyche. Think “other people’s money”. You know, the resources that you can draw upon from a partner’s income to benefits, investments, and even lines of credit. Themes of emotional security, trust, and stability will be highlighted as well. Don’t be afraid to dig into the hidden corners of your emotions.
Gemini or Gemini Rising — Relationships, partnership, collaboration, other people. Mars will ignite your relationships or inspire you to forge new connections. Truthfully this is a bit of a dynamic placement for Mars and an existing issue may boil over with a partner, emerging as a difference in ideology or viewpoint. That said, it will very much be about other people while Mars is in Sagittarius. Find common ground.
Cancer or Cancer Rising — Health, wellness, work, colleagues, day-to-day life. Seeing how Mars is your career planet, its time in Sagittarius will be all about the nitty gritty of making your ambitions a reality. There will be a push to get organized, start a project, or step up your workflow. This will also be a great time to take action with health, diet, and nutrition.
Leo or Leo Rising — Self expression, creativity, children, leisure. What’s your talent, Leo? With Mars igniting your sign of creativity and self expression, you will feel a push to set yourself apart. Not every Leo is meant for the limelight, but time to unleash the performer. You may also need to prioritize what gives you life and gives you passion. Children may also be a focus at this time.
Virgo or Virgo Rising — Home, family, foundation, emotional connections. With Mars moving through the foundation of your chart, you may feel an urge to make changes in the home, from a remodel and refurbishment to a move. This is a noisy placement for Mars and your living situation may be anything but peaceful as a result. Your emotions and need for security will be highlighted as well.
Libra or Libra Rising — Travel, movement, communication, learning. Mars in Sagittarius will bring a steady stream of ideas as well as an impulse to communicate through writing and speaking. In fact, you may be filled with opinions and eager to share them. Local travel will be a factor, from commuting to running around town for appointments. You may also be signing up for a class.
Scorpio or Scorpio Rising — Income, value, stability, material life. It’s all about money, from how you earn it to the stuff you buy with it. You may have an urge to spend more than usual or make more money so you can purchase the things you need to feel more secure and comfortable. Resources and assets are a priority, too.
Sagittarius or Sagittarius Rising — The self, personality, vitality, new beginnings. Time to push your agenda. With Mars in your sign, your natural passion for wisdom and philosophy will be ignited. Similarly, you will feel a push to take action, start fresh, and to revitalize. Be a leader. But be careful of being short tempered.
Capricorn or Capricorn Rising — Retreat, rest, recuperation, surrender, endings. Time for a little emotional digging and letting go. With Mars pulling you behind the scenes, you may want to use this time meditate and reflect. If Sagittarius is the journey, Mars in Sag will ignite the journey within. It’s faith that there is something beyond this world and the mystical leanings to discover it.
Aquarius or Aquarius Rising — Friends, groups, community, society, humanity, the future. What are your plans for the future? What are your hopes and dreams for a better reality? Additionally Mars will ignite a desire to find your tribe, from forming alliances to making outreaches in your community. You may feel inspired to do humanitarian work as well.
Pisces or Pisces Rising — Career, direction, status, the world. With Mars moving through the highest reaches of your chart, it’s all about your place in the world and your ambitions to secure it. Don’t be shy, Pisces. What are you trying to achieve? Time to get recognized and make professional inroads as well. You may feel inspired to step up in your career to earn more money and create financial stability.
