artist: Tuco Amalfi

Feb 13 – Mar 22, 2024

Since the new year, Mars in Capricorn has asked us to be productive and serious. It’s been depressing af. Whyyy Capricorn, why do you have to be so heavy? Soon we can pause the nonstop worrying about work, money, and security. We can fucking relax, decompress. No more pressure, perfectionism, stress, or exhaustion. It’s time to shake things up with Mars in Aquarius with some hella sweet adventures and exploration!

Mars in Aquarius is reactive, forthright, and defiant. There’s plenty of passion and martial fire, mostly channeled into political and humanitarian ideals. Natives with this placement get REALLY riled up about the state of the world, and for good reason. Listen to Aquarians! They see it clearly, all the bullshit and lies. Aquarians have no filter. What a gift. The message is not always gracefully delivered(!) but it sparkles with truth.

Aquarius swings between ideals and conflicts, dreams and reality, visions and movements. Aquarius illuminates our interconnectedness and interdependence, for better or worse. Mars in Aquarius asked us to get involved, speak up, and show up. This cycle will help us to get to know our local communities. Mars in Aquarius wants us to care about politics too. Natives with this placement are always encouraging people to vote, march, sign petitions, etc – they are really great at spreading awareness and waking people up.

Aquarius is one of the most erratic, disorganized brothers in the zodiac. Mars in Aquarius makes us exceptionally outspoken, if not volatile or unpredictable. The mind and tongue dance way ahead of the body, which means that we might spout off and say crazy shit sometimes. It also means that we need to make a concerted effort to stay focused. Natives with this placement get easily distracted. One of the greatest challenges will be simply finishing what we start!

Feb 14: Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius. Power & control dynamics up for review. Themes include sexuality, force, fear, and violence. High stress level. Take really good care of yourself.

Feb 18: Pisces Season begins

Feb 22: Mars conjunct Venus in Aquarius. Venus-Mars conjunctions bring divine harmony & balance between feminine and masculine energies. Inner peace, ease, creativity, comfort, relaxation. Gold star day.

Feb 27: Mars square Jupiter in Taurus. We may be feeling off, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Pain & injury in the body common. Self-care is in order.
