Mars is on the move, and will tour Scorpio – one of his home and favourite signs – from November 19, 2019 – January 2, 2020.
This is a powerful and potent pairing. Mars has rulership over two signs, Aries (a fire sign) and Scorpio (a water sign).
The other difference between Aries and Scorpio is the modality – Aries is cardinal; quick, responsive, reactive, while Scorpio is fixed; slow, measured, steady.
Considering these simple element + modality factors can help you understand the difference between Mars in Aries (impulsive, impatient, take charge) and Mars in Scorpio (driven, determined, strategic).
In Scorpio, Mars is at his measured and focussed best.
Here the desire of Mars, the passion and the pushing, is directed towards a specific aim or goal. Mars in Scorpio has staying power, and can be almost obsessive in the way he pursues an objective. You too may enjoy some of this extra focus and determination during this period.
Another way to tune into Mars in Scorpio is to check in with the house in your chart that is ruled by Scorpio, if you know it. The house area being touched by Mars in Scorpio will represent topics or themes around which you can create progress in the coming weeks. For instance, if you have a Scorpio MC or 10th House, Mars in Scorpio will activate professional themes.
The energy of Mars is about beginnings, progress and action.
Thus, if Mars in Scorpio will influence your career sector (as in the example above) you may start a new professional project, push forward on career plans or take action and generally be more bold at work.
Mars in Scorpio is a motivated but private energy and you may prefer to work on an important project in a secluded or out of sight setting. The positive or dignity quality of Mars in Scorpio means even if you don’t know how this energy triggers your own chart it is a generally good time to be decisive, or start something new and meaningful.
This active and focussed energy can help you deal with a private matter, delve into normally secret or taboo topics, or explore Scorpio themes like sex, intimacy, trust and togetherness in new and more honest ways.
