With Mars in Sagittarius, we make sense of all the changes rendered by Mars in Scorpio. Take a deep breath and give yourself a hug because we really are coming out of an intense cycle. The most difficult work is over. Mars in Scorpio made us stronger, sexier, and more powerful. We had some major blockages to address and now we can move forward. Our body and psyche are ready to heal.

Mars rules vitality, physical strength and decisive action. This is the warrior archetype, fire coursing through his veins. Mars rules Aries, the first constellation in the zodiac and demarcator of the spring equinox, so Mars feels right at home in fellow fire sign Sagittarius.

With Mars in Sagittarius, we are motivated by a need to rise up and take ownership of our spiritual and philosophical journey. There is no longer any resentment or resistance, only enthusiasm. We are shifting into a higher gear now, embracing the magic of optimism and the law of attraction. Watch the pace of life spiral into insanity now.

Sagittarius is spontaneous, always down for new experiences and adventure. Mars in Sagittarius brings joyful, kinetic energy to our bodies. So much in fact, that it is easy to get carried away. Ask all the important questions. Do your research and listen to your body. Moving slowly is the last thing we feel like doing under fiery skies but if we don’t take our time, we will miss crucial details.

Ignorance is not always bliss. This is what we must revisit now collectively, this question of how much Truth we are willing to face together. To survive and thrive in the flames of Sagittarius, we must be more honest with ourselves and we must hold others more fully accountable. This is what it’s like in the high court of Sagittarius, where golden staffs gleam in the light of Truth. It’s not just about adventure and curiosity. It’s about having the courage to look something in the eye and do something about it. It’s about action. It’s about linking thoughts, words, intentions, and actions all together. This is the locus of real change.
