New Moon on Monday Astrology

Mars rules Aries and the 1st House of Self.

The planets are like characters in a movie or a book, and Mars is one of the easiest ones to recognize.  He’s the God of War.  Mars is pure energy and courage and drive. Mars takes immediate action.  

Obviously, Mars is masculine energy.  The glyph for Mars is the same symbol you see on the Men’s Room:

Mars knows what he wants, and the sign he is in shows how he goes about getting it. The sign Mars was in when you were born shows a lot about how you assert yourself and handle confrontation:

Mars in Aries wants action and takes it. 

Mars in Taurus wants to feel comfortable and stays put until he is.

Mars in Gemini wants to communicate and he does it loudly.

Mars in Cancer wants to protect and he does it defensively.

Mars in Leo wants to perform and he does it dramatically.

Mars in Virgo wants to be efficient and he does it methodically.

Mars in Libra wants to partner and he gets it with charm.

Mars in Scorpio wants something real and he gets it with passion.  

Mars in Sagittarius wants experience and he gets it with candor.

Mars in Capricorn wants to get ahead and he does it practically.

Mars in Aquarius wants freedom and he gets it however he wants to.

Mars in Pisces wants to feel and can be somewhat surreptitious.

Right now Mars is in Cancer, he’s feeling defensive.  That’s part of the aggressive, active energy that’s fueling the Grand Cardinal Cross.  Just remember, we’re all feeling cornered right now. Let’s try to use the energy to be more like productive. 

Keep on moving,
