Mars in Leo
One I prepared much earlier… Mars is a hot and dry planet, so likes to create energy and activity. In Cancer (a cold and wet sign), it felt like it was trying to push through mud. Quite frankly, that’s what many of us did feel like- particularly if you are a Fire sign, or…

Mars in Cancer
My dad tells this joke about three old drovers* who are sitting around in a pub. They’re remembering days gone by and achievements of the past. Drover 1 says, ‘I remember the time I took a mob of cattle from Darwin down to Birdsville. Bloody long way that was.’ Drover 2 nods his respect…

Mars in Gemini
So anyways, Mars moves into Gemini today. He didn’t feel particularly comfortable in Taurus – things don’t happen quickly enough there for Mars’ liking. Even the words don’t come quickly or easily – in fact, sometimes in Taurus the words can’t seem to come out at all. They get stuck somewhere between the heart and…

Mars in Taurus – Going The Distance
The first thing we need to know about Mars in Taurus is that Mars is in his detriment here – he’s operating from a sign where he doesn’t feel at all comfortable. You see, Taurus is a Venus-ruled sign and is all about pleasure and taking the time to smell the roses. Mars, on the…

Mars In Aries: It’s Getting Hot In Here
Mars in Aries…oh be still my beating heart! Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? Mars rules Aries, so is at his strongest, most physical, most vital, most impulsive, most headstrong, most independent here. Mars is a hot and masculine planet and Aries a hot, cardinal, and masculine sign, so this…

Mars in Capricorn: Taking Care of Business
Before I started writing this post, I did what I always do whenever a planet changes signs: I go looking for what I’ve written before. After all, why re-invent the wheel if it’s still doing what it should be doing. You know what I found? Nothing…well, next to nothing. How have I never written anything…

Mars in Sagittarius…
I don’t know about you, but Mars Retrograde was hard…so hard. Sure, Mars doesn’t like to be travelling in any direction other than forward, but I tend to think the worst part of this particular phase was his period back in Scorpio. I have Mars in Scorpio natally so, generally speaking, do Scorpio well- and…

Mars in Scorpio…again…
Mars is moving back into Scorpio in the wee small hours of tomorrow morning…something in itself that seems quite fitting. Of course, that timing is from where I am in Sydney, Australia. In your part of the world it could be in broad daylight. Whatever the time, it’s happening. Mars, still retrograde, and back in…

10 ways to survive (and thrive) when Mars is retrograde…
Mars is our inner warrior. His placement in our chart tells us how we strap on our armour and go into battle for whatever it is that we think is worth strapping on armour and going into battle for. He also represents our energy levels, so while he is retrograde- from 17th April through until the…

Mars in Sagittarius: Don’t Hold Back…
While I’ve been actively seeking escape routes during February, Mars has been transiting my 9th house. In this time I’ve had the energy boost required to book the majority of my travel for the year. It felt like it needed to be done. That having those trips in the calendar was not just the silver…
