Mars in Scorpio — When the planet of energy and action enters the sign of power and tenacity, we banish procrastination in favor of single-minded determination. When Mars was in Libra, we hemmed and hawed, rationalizing, avoiding, and even engaging in passive-aggressive behavior when cornered to make a move or decision. But when Mars charges up the sign of willpower and transformation, we're done twiddling our thumbs and waiting for the world to present us with opportunities — we demand change, and we realize that we must create it ourselves. Indeed, when we play our cards right, Scorpio helps us recognize the deepest, purest well of our own power — be willing to "go deep," test your limits, and even do what frightens you. Just don't let that Scorpio suspicion or will to dominate get a hold of you. If you use your powers for ill, Scorpionic energy always returns a sting.
ARIES
Things are getting very close, Aries, so tight that your wild heart might feel slightly itchy and uncomfortable — is it the depth of your desire, or the threat of deep commitment that scares you? Your ruler, the planet of energy and action, Mars, has charged into your House of Intimacy and the Other, stoking your fires in all senses of the word. Passionate connections are forecast. Physical and emotional intimacy are certainly heated up under this energy, but that warmth can quickly become a scorch if you don't handle it carefully, leading to conflicts, arguments, and ultimatums. Keep a cool head by keeping your eyes on your own paper. Lead by example. A healthy, passionate transformation is very possible now — the death of an old order is coming, with the birth of a new one. Make sure it's one you're proud to welcome.
TAURUS
How would you rate yourself at compromise, Taurus? Would you say you're flexible like rubber, or like a brick wall? Mars, the planet of energy and action, is plowing through your House of Partnerships — AKA the House of Open Enemies — so over the next few weeks, you could feel a restless drive to get what you want, despite what your significant other/business partner/roommate thinks. You can make the most out of this energy by being willing to have (calm) confrontations when necessary. If things have truly been out of balance or you've been unhappy in any way, now is the time to bring grievances out in the open to be addressed. Just don't bulldoze anyone!
GEMINI
You're full of energy to get things done this week, Gemini! Mars, the planet of energy and action, is charging up your House of Work and Routine, boosting your work ethic, your health habits and your desire to be recognized for your contributions. For the next few weeks, your ego is inextricably tied to your output — you likely won't be satisfied unless you know you're at the "top of your game," or beating others out, whether that be in speed, sales or on the treadmill. This House also rules your physical health and habits, so it's an ideal time to reinvigorate, or begin, your workout routine. If things get heated on the job, take it out on a punching bag, not your coworkers!
CANCER
It's time to get out and play, Cancer! Normally, you're a supportive soul who doesn't mind acting as background support — but this week, you demand to be recognized for unique energy you bring to the table. Mars, the planet of energy and action, is riding through your House of Creativity, Romance, and Play, so sparks will fly! You may start a new romance, or an existing one may heat up intensely now — all sorts of physical activity is favored, but especially that which brings you joy and pleasure, like lovemaking and dance. Creative pursuits are blessed now, and injected with enthusiasm. Discipline is in short supply, but energy abounds! Put your shoulder into your passion projects.
LEO
You've got a lot on your mind this week, Leo, so it might be a good idea to channel some of this extra energy into projects and chores you've been meaning to get done. Mars, the planet of energy and action, is plowing into your House of Home and Family, which is also the House of Our Past and Foundation. When aggressive Mars takes up residence here, he brings up all sorts of feelings and memories you thought were safely swept under the rug. You may be forced to re-tread old ground, or fight for your personal space over the next few weeks. The positive side of this aspect is, it fills you with energy to get things done around the home. Looking at the transformative energy in your chart, you may even be able to make money from your residence. Put your energy into building up, not breaking down.
VIRGO
You're coming in hot, Virgo! You're normally known for your manners and decorum, but this week, with fiery Mars charging through your House of Communications, you're set to surprise others with your passionate, even defiant tone. This is also the House of Intellect and Ideas, so your already-acute mind will be absolutely on fire with inspiration, energy, and the will to get things done. When Mars heats up this House, meetings, messages, conversations and connections dominate your life. Expect a full social calendar over the next few weeks — it's an ideal time to market your ideas, or push for a strategy you know will work. Mars will give you the chutzpah to break through any obstacles.
LIBRA
Ready to put your money where your mouth is, Libra? Mars, the planet of energy and action, has just moved into your House of Money and Values for the next few weeks, igniting your desire to make more money, have more things, and accomplish, accomplish, accomplish. Mars' energy in this House has negative and positive effects (I know how you love a balanced pro/con list): on the negative end, you identify with your money and status now. If you're not happy with the amount you make, or the objects you own, you feel it reflects on you as a human being. You are not your job, your tax bracket or your address. You are so much more. On the positive side, Mars' fiery energy drives you to get more done, believe in yourself and demand what you deserve. Let him lead you to success.
SCORPIO
People will be finding you scarier than usual now, Scorpio, and I doubt if you'll have much of a problem with that. Mars, the planet of energy and action, has moved into your House of Self, powering you up and making you more active and vigorous than your usual powerful-but-understated self. It's harder for you to acknowledge, or even notice, the needs of others under Mars' self-centered energy, so you could run into conflicts in relationships now. If you have to fight for your rights, your space or your ideas, you'll do so with great energy now, and I pity your opponents. Take more care than usual with your body for the next few weeks — accidents, fights and illnesses can be brought on by this energy, only because you're willing to sacrifice your body on the altar of your will. Don't! You'll still want that body next month.
SAGITTARIUS
It's time to play it calm and cool, Sagittarius. Mars, the planet of energy and action, has burst into your House of Secrets and the Past, shaking up the dust and disturbing old ghosts. Behaviors, memories and patterns from the past tend to rear their head now, goading you to become angry, willful, spoiling for a fight. Don't take the bait. Any such feelings, even if they're brought up by outside circumstances or people, are actually attached to your (possibly unconscious) feelings about yourself. This is a good time to work alone — with your ego this active, compromise becomes more difficult. However, this energy gives you great energy to work behind the scenes and get things ready. By the time Mars enters your House of Self in a few weeks, you will have crafted something worth showing off.
CAPRICORN
Do you know what your goals are, Capricorn? (They don't have to be boring, you know. They can include: Trip to Tahiti, 2017.) If you don't know what they are, this is an ideal time to get together with the people who excite your drive to succeed the most, and figure it out! Mars, the planet of energy and action, has moved into your House of Allies, Organizations and Long-Term Goals, filling you with fighting spirit and boosting your ego. You could find it hard to balance your own interests and the interests of others, so be careful of steamrolling others' input or ideas just for the sake of coming out on top. But if you have a squad who shares your goals — whether they be for work, art or fitness-related — you're pretty much unstoppable now. Go forth and conquer!
AQUARIUS
What makes you feel ambitious, Aquarius? The promise of a challenge, the promise of more money, fame, fortune? Get in tune with whatever it is that moves you, because your stars are giving you a major boost for the next few weeks! Mars, the planet of energy and action, is charging through your House of Career and Destiny, firing up your effort and initiative, and making you more noticeable to higher-ups. This comes with a word of caution: Conflicts are more common under this energy, especially with authority figures. (You being the rebel-with-a-cause of the zodiac, I'm sure you're familiar.) Pick your battles. Getting into scrapes over small grievances will just sap your energy. Save up for the true challenge — the one where you surpass yourself.
PISCES
It's time to free your mind, Pisces. You've got the opportunity for horizon-broadening experiences of all kinds for the next few weeks, including travel, study, exotic visits and foreign ideas. Mars, the planet of energy and action, has moved into your House of Journeys and Philosophy, igniting your desire to know, see and do more. You may find yourself asserting and defending your ideas now, whether you are teaching a course, defending your thesis, debating with friends or diving into your studies with vigor. It's well and good to live your principles, but there's no need to suffer for them. Don't be drawn into petty squabbles under this mind-expanding aspect — instead, put all of your energy into inspiring yourself. You'll be rewarded in more ways than one.
