Aspects to Mars
We are working on this page and will be adding more Mars aspects in the future.
Mars is the planet of dynamism and action and instigates activity in your life. Mars specifically deals with the energy that it takes to deal with pressures in your life. Mars can be an aggressive force and when provoked will ignite the urge to fight and stand up for what you feel is your right.
​
The energy of Mars needs an outlet. This could be found in aggressive action, through violence and arguments or through mystical and spiritual avenues of expression. Mars when accompanied particularly with transiting Pluto (transits are planetary movements) will often be found in acts of violence or injuries caused through accidents, heavy machinery or sharp tools.
​
Mars when transiting through certain houses can activate these areas of life and create new beginnings and fresh starts.
Specific Aspects
Transiting Mars is considered an inner planet moving rapidly through the Zodiac over approximately a two-years period, which includes its retrograde cycle.
​
During its retrograde cycle, the energies of Mars are slowed down and drive and ambition is stagnated. Instead of making commitments and engagements, it is suggested that you take the time to review your upcoming plans and move forward once Mars moves into its direct motion once again.
Mars can remain in its retrograde cycle from two to three months. It is important to understand that although Mars remains in its retrograde cycle, its influence will only affect a planet when it is within a 3° orb of influence.
As a result of the short influence, we will not be writing aspects by Transiting Mars.
