Current Mars Transits

Recently Mars conjoined earth. The influence of this transit in our individual lives depends on which "house" of one's birth chart contains the constellation Pisces, which Mars now occupies.

It is our conscious choice as to how we activate the increased energy of Mars, which governs work, war. sex, and vitality.

The 1st house of the chart governs self-expression, primal background and creativity. Athletics may increase. Physical desire or war may be activated.

The 2nd house rules personal finances, art, music. Mars here will strengthen your desire to be well paid for one's abilities. The kind of music one plays will have a strong beat. The colors in one's art will be in the warm red end of the spectrum.

The 3rd house rules writing, teaching and machinery. Now is the time to compose that book. Classes are encouraged. Mars in Pisces, a water sign, suggests swimming, surfing and boating.

The 4th house rules psychological foundations and the earth. Mars here sugests working the land - whether gardening, mining or selling real estate. Work in the home office.
