Read your horoscope for Mars in Aquarius
Testing the structures
As Mars strides into the impartial air of Aquarius, our warrior takes on the role of the activist, soapbox in tow. After weeks of forging the scaffold that will support our dreams, Mars in Aquarius tests these structures within the social dimension. In Saturn’s air domicile, Mars can be more of a free agent — a spanner in the gears and wheels of capitalism.
However, Mars will also have to play by Saturn’s house rules. Some of its more rebellious impulses may be curtailed. Revolt without an agenda could meet the business end of Saturn’s scythe. We must play the long game when it comes to our emancipation, rather than lose ourselves in a fever of group think.
Mars enters Aquarius in lockstep with Venus — catching up with each other once more after the longest game of tag ever. Just as there’s fluidity to the way children play, we can reframe power exchanges as a dance. Wherever Aquarius falls in your chart, a brave new frontier is waiting to be explored in terms of your passion and delight.
March 22nd may bring some jangles in the narrative, however, as Mars and Uranus cross lightsabers. Aquarius’ cool detachment will serve us well in this electrical storm, as curveballs force us to innovate. By April 4th, the circus has blown town, and we’re invited to an audience with Saturn itself.
Conserve your resources
The last time Mars and Saturn joined together was March 2020, and flashbacks to that time may assert themselves. That doesn’t mean we’ll be back in the same situation — we’ve grown, experienced, and learned too much for that — but memories may pebble to the surface. Allow yourself to hold space for this grief.
Conservation of our mental and emotional resources will help us dig into the knife-edge clarity of this moment. Like dislodging a splinter with tweezers, this process won’t be comfortable, but it will bring eventual relief.

As Mars high-tails into Aquarius, a longer process of individuation takes on revived urgency. It’s no longer enough to simply conceptualize the authentic you.
