Mars arrives in Capricorn, a push forward on our goals and ambitions, a kick in the butt to take action on anything that’s not working or needs our attention. Mars does some of its best work in Capricorn, giving us precision and dedication to reach our targets. (Read Mars in Capricorn: Sign by Sign.)
It’s important to keep in mind that this is not your usual Capricorn Season, even with the stamina and drive of Mars in Capricorn. We can’t forget that Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is over in Pisces, a sign that helps us connect beyond the material plane.
That’s not to say that Pisces can’t be ambitious. It’s just that whatever goals that Pisces has in mind has to line up with a greater sense of spiritual mission and purpose. Our ambitions need to be compassionate and heart centered, not achievement for the sake of achievement.
Saturn in Pisces adds an existential overtone to Capricorn Season. Why am I here? Is this what I really want? Where am I going? Pisces reminds us that the answers are always inside of us. Not outside.
