Mars enters Aries for a fiery homecoming
After patrolling Pisces with shark-like cunning over the past several weeks, Mars shakes off the brine to arrive at Aries’ arid shores. This is Mars’ homecoming to its fiery domain.
From May 24th to July 4th, Mars in Aries ignites our “want and you shall receive” drive. It’s time to test our will, steel our resolve, and propel headlong into the frontlines of our aspirations. Aries’ terrain in your chart reveals where you are a warrior, sharpening your sword against the hardest stone.
However.
Channeling Mars’ fiery, propulsive state won’t guarantee immunity from stage fright. Simply showing up, despite our doubt, takes true grit. Tempering our inner champion asks us to hold our visceral fear and gut reactions with piercing awareness.

What defenses need patching? What conduits of the soul need clearing so that we may run on full power?
On June 27th, Mars collaborates with Saturn, providing structure for our willpower, so we can manifest our goals in reality. Then, Mars in Aries takes the ring for its final round on July 1st: a cathartic square-off with Pluto, the planet of shadow and mystery.
Though skirmishes erupt around grapples for control, and sparks may fly, we enter Hades’ lair in finest form.
