Mars_in_Scorpio_Planetary_Transits_TheGoldDustAstrology

On 19 November aggressive Mars is going into intense Scorpio for the first time in two years and will remain there until 3 January 2020. Mars is very strong in Scorpio because it was the old ruler of the sign and is still considered to be co-ruler. When in Scorpio Mars can easily express all his positive Mars qualities such as motivation, drive, action, ambition, willingness to take risks, fighting spirit, focus, and strategy. Mars, however, it is also a very aggressive, warrior energy and tempers can flare up easily so caution is needed. A good advantage of Mars in Scorpio is that he is very strategic, goes deep and is more consistent because Scorpio is a fixed sign.

Mars was in Libra for the past six weeks, one of the weakest positions for Mars to be in because he becomes quite indecisive, weighs all the options, tries to find the middle ground and win-win situations, prefers compromise and act diplomatically. He basically seeks to find balance and harmony and therefore may not be too daring to take action. On top of that Mercury was retrograde, also in the intense sign of Scorpio, so there was a lot of indecisiveness, confusion, and misunderstandings.  

But all of these are changing now with Mars moving into Scorpio and Mercury turning direct and soon moving out of Scorpio. While in Scorpio Mars will only make positive aspects to the other planets with the exception of the intense and possibly dangerous clash to Uranus on 24/11. This is the only difficult aspect of this passage and even though it affects most those born on 23-24 April, 26-27 July, 27-28 October, 23-24 January,  everyone needs to be careful, Most positively affected are the water signs Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces and the earth signs Virgo and Capricorn. Earth sign Taurus needs to be more careful as Mars will be in its seventh house of personal relations and some problems might arise in that area.

ARIES

Mars in Scorpio can bring a lot of big, radical, transformative changes and upheavals. On a more mundane level Mars in Scorpio for Aries has to do with joint ventures, investments, shared resources and generally money through third sour4ces such as taxes, loans and inheritances.  It can bring quite deep concentrated, but also complicated and obsessed, focus and make you want to go deep and discover what has been hidden (secrets). On the other hand this deep, concentrated focus may be directed on financial responsibilities and investments. You may start taking action over the next few weeks with regard to these matters.

TAURUS

The focus for Taurus during this transit is on personal relationships and partnerships. Even on contracts. There will be a lot of interaction with other people but Tauruses need to be careful as their spouses, better-halfs or business partners most likely will not be so willing to compromise with them or do them any favors. Taurus people might also be more aggressive toward their partners.  Those who are single may now have the chance to meet someone who can infatuate or excite them intensely in more ways than one while those who are already in a relationship can transform and deepen their bond.  Since Taurus is opposite to Scorpio, some disagreements, arguments or even break-ups in weak relationships cannot be ruled out but the positive aspects that Mars will make may help lower this risk and provide a chance for bringing out in the open and resolving past difficulties. In any case those born 23-24 April need to be more careful on 24 November (+/- 3 days) as they are the ones who have a greater chance to experience relationship break-ups.

GEMINI

During the past three weeks the work environment was probably a bit slow, or delayed or things were just not moving at the speed that they should have been. This was due to Mercury being retrograde as well as tot Mars being in Libra. But now Mars transits your sixth house, the house of work and health. The house of service. During this time you may focus on work. You may have more things to do that take up from your free time or you may need to help others who need your help. You may become much more impatient with others or find others too impatient. Some problems might arise at work, with colleagues or others may come off as more aggressive or more competitive toward you.
