Mars in transit long version

In ancient times, transiting Mars was seen as evil; some astrologists still see mars as a malefic planet.

 But the truth is no planet in astrology is good or bad, as even positive energy can be destructive when misused.

Sure, Mars transit can bring our deep destructive impulsive, cruelty, aggressiveness and the misuse of creative-sexual energy. Still, they can also bring out your highest motivations, determination and focus as you work steadily to bring your goals into your life.

Mars represents your vital life force; without mars, you couldn’t use the energies of any of the other planets or zodiac signs correctly.

Sure, you may have placements in your chart that say you can be a successful writer, doctor, lawyer or leader.

But if you don’t apply yourself (mars energy) daily to reaching your goals, these beneficial placements in your chart remain ideas and untapped energy.

Mars allows you to authentically show up as whom you are or who you wish to be; Mars transits call for you to use your individuality to reach the goals of the sign and house it is transiting in.

Mars energy is best channelled into your lifelong personal development, creating authentic relationships, looking after your well being,  following a career path that you love, one or some hobbies, and having that all-important relaxation and fun time.

People often waste their mars energy through self-destructive thoughts and behaviours rather than channelling their Mars energy into developing and nurturing their personal talents.

Lack of focused use of Mars energy cause boredom, which makes it ay to fall into the distraction trap, where you spend excessive time taking drugs,  drinking alcohol,  watching porn, Netflix and chill and all other escape routes.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not the karma police; nothing is bad within itself, and we all have personal preferences.

But doing anything to excess can cause self-destruction; too much chilling and self-gratification can lead to you missing opportunities to live a balanced and productive life.

 Not channelling or working off your excess Mars energy via work, exercise etc., can cause you to end up in trouble with other people via conflict or your own reckless or aggressive actions or thoughts, at worst you can get into problems with authorities such as the police, due mismanagement of yourself.

The misuse of mars energy causes the trouble associated with it being viewed as malefic; mars energy is best used, not wasted.

In ancient times, Mars was associated with a devil with sayings like these “the devil makes work, for idle hands” is and the “idol brain is the devil’s workshop”.

In translation, boredom drives you to do questionable things that can lead you to difficulties; mars transits are about asserting yourself constructively,  with not only passion but with a focused purpose.

Be self-driven, but respect the rules and needs of others; otherwise, pay the consequences of reckless use of mars energy.

 No one is saying that there won’t be times when you may need to aggressively assert your will, but there must be an authentic purpose for this instead of mindless, violent behaviour or words.

There is a lesson in all modes of expression, especially fighting, for what you believe in; still, you must not impose your opinions on others or judge them for not following your beliefs.

More about Mars transit in the 2nd house

This transit puts how you view possessions under the spotlight, you could be more open than usual to share what you own with others, or you could put the money and things you own to good use.

By using them in the best way to reach your goals, for example, you may use any savings to further your professional or personal development.

But negatively, you can act miserly – tight-fisted to yourself, refusing to spend money on yourself or others at this, especially if your ego is built on accumulating money and things to show off, but not using them.

Yet, suppose you are non-materialistic and base your self worth and persona on your inner values, higher power, or something else more significant than yourself. In that case, this transit will strengthen this connection.

On the other hand, if you base your value on things you own, how other people view you, your finances, or anything else materialistic, changing conditions could lower your self-esteem.

If you have enough money, are popular and feel you own enough possessions, then this transit will make you value yourself more, but if you think you have not got enough of what society deems valuable, this can be a depressing time for you.

Arguments can happen regarding materialistic things, which can lead to a breakdown in your close relationships or, on the other hand, if someone criticises you in any way about your lack of money or any other material possession.

 You may react aggressively, causing conflict, causing you to get into trouble with authority.

If your sense of self is centred on owning things, you may take unlawful actions to get what you want at this time, like stealing or manipulating others to get what you want.

Some of you may get yourself into debt by trying to appear successful to others; others may overly assert their personal beliefs systems on others, causing heated arguments.

It is essential to not identify with material possessions or your personal belief system at this time.

People may question and state their negative opinions about your lack or surplus of money or personal assets or what you believe in at this time.

But it is best to remember there are many beliefs system in the world, and many people tend to believe what they think is right, passionately defending their viewpoint.

 But everyone has a right to believe in what they want, and your opinion is just that; if it works for you, that’s good.

 But don’t force your beliefs on others, stand up for what you believe, of course, but it an assertive rather than aggressive way, state your views calmly.

More about Mars transit in the 3rd house

This transit is good to put your physical effects into learning anything you need to; intellectual, spiritual, scientific, philosophical or any form of study is favoured at this time.

As mars in the 3rd house require mental-logical, spiritual or psychological stimulation, you’re given a chance to spend hours upon hours learning, researching and editing.

Even if you find it hard to concentrate in general during this time, you will work hard and focus longer on conscious -practical( doing your day job). Or unconscious learning tasks ( listen to positive speakers whilst sleeping to reprogram your subconscious mind).

Also, if you work in sales, marketing or need to convince someone of something, Honest self-assertion and confidence in what you’re saying will pay off, but do not try to manipulate at this time as this can backfire.

Weigh up the pros and cons of whatever you are selling, give a straightforward presentation of your idea, service or product, and you should be successful.

On the negative end of this transit, you may get into arguments with your friends, neighbours, passing acquaintances or friends at this over your personal attitudes and outlooks on current or past events.

All forms of communication text, voice notes, and emails can have a hostile tone to them at this time, as you and others try and assert their “rightness”.

You may feel tempted to spend hours debating about who is correct, but this is a waste of this energy.

Use this time to work towards any work or personal projects or hobbies, not on pointlessly trying to change others judgments, as only they can do that.

State your minds, stick to your guns, yes, but just don’t waste days or weeks defending your personal viewpoints.

Mars can be very impulsive and pushy, so you and others may enthusiastically and aggressively state their minds, which can even lead to physical conflict.

Yet again, this will be a total waste of this time, but you know what we humans can be like; we work on hindsight, acting now and thinking later.

 So if you do react harshly, apologise.

Because part of growth is knowing when to say sorry and when to move on.

 As well as allowing others to form their own opinions.

If you have adverse aspects in your natal chart or if Mars is making negative aspects when transiting to other planets.

Then this can be a time of irritation of self-sacrifice, or you can be focused on self-gratification, which can cause endless problems.

You may choose to spend time alone to understand your psychological, emotional or spiritual wounds at this time.

Although painful, it can uncover valuable information that helps you overcome self-destructive thoughts and habits, or you may help others understand their suffering.

You may find yourself constantly annoyed or disappointed without knowing why; it is crucial you try to get to the bottom of these feelings rather than numbing yourself to them.

Problems can occur in your personal relationships due to your unique mannerisms; behaviours that you have been unaware of may now be brought to your attention due to other people reacting negatively to you.

 So you may have no choice but to look at how you relate to others; still, you may blame others and not take that look in the mirror that is needed.

You may not openly try to get your way now, but you may use passive-aggressive or manipulation tactics to assert yourself on others at this time.

But they will sense this, and although they may not directly take you out, they may take evasive and calculating actions to get in the way of your personal goals at this time.

They could tell your boss that you are slacking off at work, spread gossip; others may take sneaky action like spitting in your food.

I know petty, write things anonymously about you online, let the air out your tire, devious stuff like this that ruin your day in some way.

because your emotions that you run from can be played out in others, and you will have to face them anyway.

It may be hard to accept your shadow behaviours or deal with your unhealed emotions.

But it’s best to because they will come out in impulsive thoughts and actions that cause problems in your life until you deal with them.

Mars transiting the 12th house provides the power to do the long and painful work of handling the things you wish to avoid; it’s best to spend as much time as you can alone during this transit.

Doing research, watching motivational videos or any other content that can help you deal with your problems directly, although helping others may help you help yourself at this time.

Giving something back to your local community by donating or volunteering to charity may be the best use of any excess energy rather than turning to compulsive, self-destructive habits.

Because this is mars energy we are talking about in the 12th house, you may find it easier to escape with over socialising, taking drugs etc.. Getting lost in pleasure, but this won’t be best for you in the long run.

It will be best to take time out to heal, understand, forgive, have compassion for and manage yourself.
