Mars is energy and Jupiter intensifies it. They create a great surge of energy that you probably already have been feeling, increase strength, powerful initiative, impulsive actions bigger than life. Ruthless assertion in all your activities. An internal fire difficult to contain, so use moderation and self-control in order to use this excess of energy.

Be careful with heavy machinery, cutting tools, bladed weapons or knives. Also careful exercising too much too forcefully, because you may injure yourself. For people who are normally very passive, this surge of energy can be productive because it motivates them to work harder and longer. Depending on where it falls in your chart, your body may generate excessive heat, or fevers, flare ups of muscle aches.

You feel courageous in certain area of your life. If you’re faced with animosity, arguments, or enemies, you may become aggressive, and even resource to violence. Be careful also, and adopt a defensive attitude instead to avoid accidents and fights.

This strong energy is optimistic and enthusiastic and may find you burning the candle at both ends, exhausting your physical capacity. Use it in moderation in order to endure to the end.

In the mundane context, the expansive use of controlling institutional structures may clash with individual interests and the urge to defend independence.

Also, Mars square the July 16, 2019 Lunar eclipse 24ºCapricorn 

Now, the energy is amped up a notch or two. Mars is the personal will power and Pluto is the creative/destructive power of the Universe. The aggressive Mars conjunct Eris, the Goddess of Discord, is manipulated, coerced, forcibly pushed to action by Pluto's powerful influence. At this time, the anger only sees black and white, all or nothing, life and death. People can easily get entangled into power struggles, be either a subject to domination, fall victims of institutional control, and authoritarian powers, or be the perpetrators of relentless violence or heinous crimes. There is no middle way possible with Pluto. Politics can become really nasty, and even extremely polarized, because Pluto operates on extremes. 
Pluto is also associated with abuse of power, in Capricorn, coming from government. In the mundane context, there could be terrorist attacks, violent crimes, or forceful use of military powers to repress people. Mars is aggression, and Pluto, the power to subdue it. Pluto archetype is also associated with atomic power, radioactive substances, radiation, and chemicals capable of powerful reactions. Let's hope that all atomic energy generators in the world are under proper supervision, and in good working order.

In your personal life, be aware of this incendiary force inside yourself in order to put it to constructive and productive activities, like working with heavy machinery, power tools, making transformative remodeling work, building new with old material, or using compost to enrich your garden. If you’re out and about, and not abiding by what is expected, by rules and regulations, or protesting to defend your right to exist and your independence, you may have an encounter with authority figures that will not be benevolent.

13 January 2021, 3º♉️ to 3º ♒️

These two planets couldn't be more different. If Mars is impulsive energy, Saturn is passive and steady. If Mars is aggression, Saturn is resistance. If Mars is the initiator, Saturn maintains the status quo and the traditional ways of doing things. If Mars is desire, Saturn is restriction and delays in obtaining what is desired. If Mars is independent and spontaneous, Saturn is circumscription, circumspection, calculation and strategy. Mars gets easily angry and lets the fumes out, but Saturn gets depressed and hold grudges. Mars is energy, Saturn is inertia.

After the previous turmoil, now, come the restrictions. You have a hard time using the surging energy of Mars, your initiative is thwarted, your desires stifled. An authority figure, the societal structures, a political institution, your boss or your father will impose order, control and suppress your action. Your energy can be pent up in frustration. All activities have to wait for more favorable times, patience is required. But with the stimulus of Mars in Aries blocked by the intensity of Saturn stationary (Sep 29), it may mean that you’re boiling inside.

Once again, may I suggest the spiritual practices, meditation and probably a strong fitness program where you can spend all that energy in strenuous physical exercise, if at all possible. However, be careful exercising as well, because this kind of energy may result in bone fractures. You definitely will face delays in obtaining what you desire.

In the mundane context, this may mean that government structures, institutions, and authorities compel to order, repress uprisings, contain rebellious protests, arrest aggressive people. Any use of violence may be matched with extreme repression.

What does it all mean in the end?

Overall, Mars in Aries reclaims the autonomy of existence, a new birth, the right to be, and the spirit of independence. Mars in Aries is the fight against the domination and the power of Capricornian forces of society to subjugate, be it political, institutional, economic or government authorities.

During the last couple of years, with the Nodal Axis in Cancer and Capricorn, humanity has tried to re-balance the yin and yang energies. Women have been reclaiming their equal participation in the building of societal structures, institutional structures and in the decision making. The process was the checks and balances of a reality run only by the male archetype. The yin energy has reemerged reclaiming the lost emotional security (Cancer, home) as opposed to the material security (Capricorn, outside world).
However, some people are still attached with iron grip to the old ways of a yang predominant system, not able to recognize its natural decay. The next six months will make us realize that we have reached the point of no return. Never again will humanity go back to the old world order, because it has decomposed, rotten away and has given birth to a New Era. Humanity is now entering the Aquarian Age.

What does it mean for your Rising Sign?

Generally speaking, Mars square those three planets in Capricorn will be felt as challenging. However, you have to consider those planets' relationships in your birth chart to know exactly how the aspect will show up for you. Even though, it could be nice for you to have a hint about this influence, the following are not 'cookie cutter' predictions, but they are just some possibilities of the way it could manifest. If it doesn't resonate, it's not because the descriptions are wrong, but because each individual Birth Chart is as unique as the individual, and the whole chart should be considered before making any predictions. If you need to know more specific details, make sure you order a personal reading.

Aries ♈️
You will feel a surge of energy yourself, and may experience clashes with authorities in your job, with public service agents, law enforcement officers in public places or with father figures. Moderate your assertion and impetus. Avoid becoming angry or aggressive at all cost, because your partner and your family members or home life will suffer the consequences.

Libra ♎️
Your partner or other people you relate to may become very assertive, even aggressive affecting you directly and your public reputation. Your family members will be the ones blocking them in order to protect you. Avoid provoking your partner's anger because it may also affect your career and public image. 

Cancer ♋️
Your partner or other people you relate to may first quarrel with you, later try to restrict your movements, or may want to control you in some way. You may make a public decision about the relationship, like taking legal action, denounce them publicly, tell any authority figure, your boss or father about the aggression you're suffering. This ordeal will certainly affect you directly and your home life. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of energy in your career, and your partner may be adamant about not doing so and attempt to restrict your activity, generating your frustration and affecting your emotional wellbeing. 

Capricorn ♑️
There may be a lot of activity at home, repair work, or the need to move houses, and you will be the one managing and controlling all the developments, and taking the responsibility for your family and your partner. Conversely, you may be overwhelmed by the stress your family gives you, and try to control the home life in order to fulfill your career responsibilities. Whatever the developments are, your family life, your career and your partner will be affected.

Taurus ♉️
Your subconscious mind is fighting in your dreams against your old belief paradigm. Your old vision of the world has crumbled down and during your time of relaxation, you're trying to make sense of your internal battles. You may actively pursue spiritual practices or charitable work that contradicts the official belief system, and what the consensus spiritual teachers have taught you. Your battles take place in the most secret place of your being.

Scorpio ♏️
Conflicts in your daily life style, at your workplace, your employees (if any), and even your pets may be the 'warriors' that will challenge your mind processes, or your traditional ideas or way of thinking at this time. If you fight with your subordinates or with service personnel, you may have a mental breakdown. So, moderate your impulses. However, the transformation of your mindset, may help you initiate and work hard at eliminating open enemies, be it people or health related self sabotaging habits.

Leo ♌️
Mars is actively revolutionizing your belief system. You are convinced that you got the truth and are ready to fight to defend your vision of the world. You feel the impulse to run free now, but you're up against your open enemies, be it people who work for you, a work system or workplace that is being phased-out because it's a thing of the past. But also, what you have learned now is certainly contrary to your long standing stubborn health habits and the ways you take care of your body. You will be up against any daily habit or schedule you have that are dysfunctional and outdated. These habits too have to go. 

Aquarius ♒️
Mars will loosen your tongue. You'll be more confident conveying what you have to say. Your communications will be assertive, decisive, cutting with your truth. Your mind is fighting your longtime held karmic baggage. As you close up a 29 year cycle with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in your 12th house, you're getting ready to start anew, and your mind may be kicking and screaming about saying those goodbyes. You may have nightmares of demolitions and total dismantling of your old life. Hopefully, your way of thinking is now rejuvenated and energized to allow you making plans for the future, that starts just around the corner, in December. Holding on to the past will not make you any good. Move on!

Gemini ♊️
Mars is inspiring you to create new goals and dreams for the future, however, these are no longer compatible with the business associations you had until now. You may get to work hard to pay debts, or close a mortgage, or bank accounts. All the energetic merges you had have gone under, and you want to get free from them. The groups, alliances, and those friends with whom you share common interests are fighting against a deep transformative process, that will totally regenerate their nature. Apply your creative powers and you will succeed.

Sagittarius ♐️
Are your children already fighting for your money? Does your lover keep asking for your energy contribution or your resources? It's time to give them their independence so they become autonomous. They most probably already started fighting against the reality that your money chest is becoming depleted. You may be the one realizing where exactly are your finances, and activate your creative juices in order to generate your future income.

Virgo ♍️
Mars may create a significant upheaval, a crisis that will bring about a regeneration of sorts in the area of creativity. Your children or lover may undergo a profound transformation that may translate into some financial crisis for you, or requiring you to invest your resources or share your finances with them. Your intimate life may fire up, but your lover may not be available, or for some reason you are not able to be together.

Pisces ♓️
You have great activity involving your family, especially your family possessions, and own resources, either earning or spending them because of your children's or lover's demands. They may block your ability to dispose of your money, or compromise your earnings in some way. Try to find a balance between resources and the demands of children or of your lover. You will try to control your rowdy children, but use moderation in all your decisions.

Deep inside the cocoon? Pluto in the 12th house

Phoenix - Friedrich Johann Justin Bertuch (1747-1822)
If you have an Aquarius rising, Moon or Sun friend, spouse, family member or acquaintance, be compassionate! Pluto is transiting their 12 house in Capricorn.

The 12th house in the Natal Chart is everything that the native can't see. It is his or her spiritual, psychological, hidden nature, the side not shown in public. From dreams to secluded places, it includes the whole range of intangible realms.

Pluto is the recycler planet of the Zodiac. Pluto destroys to recreate. Pluto is the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly, the Phoenix rising from the ashes. Pluto is life and death, dying and rebirth, the regeneration process of life, He rules the life cycle, the becoming of the Seasons.

Please look for the number 12 on the green circle in this chart. That's the 12th house. The green glyph near the degree number for the planets inside the house means Capricorn. In this chart, Pluto is that red symbol in the inside circle, in the 12th house, that looks like a little man with the arms up, all head and small body. Today it's at 18º ♑️51' retrograde (Rx).
           


Chart used with the client's permission

What does it mean to have Darth Vader (Pluto!) on your nape? Not only He's been there for some time already, since January 27, 2008, but He'll stay there until January 2024. He digs deep, very deep into the dark side of life, into the very profound underworld of the Soul. Specifically for Aquarius, it actually feels like a Surgeon cutting ever so deep into your subconscious, even unconscious psychology. He brings out ancient traumas form this life's childhood, and even from past lives, onto the light for you to see, process and get rid of. He's a ruthless Surgeon who, sometimes, operates without 'anesthetics'.

Pluto has been bringing to your life painful issues triggered by power struggles in relationships. You may have encountered people who brought up taboo issues, who unveiled your addictions, your attachments, sexual traumas, and other weak spots in your psychology. Some people, situations or events may have entered your life through your place of work or some illness (6th house) only to mirror your deeply hidden weaknesses. You may have found yourself fighting that enemy. However, the enemy is not that person, situation or illness, but your own secret enemy, that repressed trauma or self-undoing behavior hindering your identity. Pluto was the Roman God Hades, Lord of the Underworld, where all riches were hidden. He rules the wealth of the Soul. Before the Aquarius person discovers his or her Soul Wealth (true Identity) he or she has to go 'under', see all the dark, face his or her terrifying fear, develop the courage of destruction. Pluto also rules decomposition and the rot, because He recycles.

This transit may manifest in different ways. The native may feel the increased need for isolation, contemplation, reflexion, or can fall into desperation, depression, addictions trying to avoid the fear.  Others can find themselves in need of help and guidance, looking for a psychologist, psychiatrist, spiritual guide or counselor of any kind. Addictions can get so severe that the person can feel the need for rehabilitation. In other cases, the process can be so unconscious that the person doesn't even realize what's going on. It's usually the case for people who have lived unaware of their emotionally repressive mode, generally drowning them with alcohol or another addictive substance or behavior. In order to get the most benefit of Pluto transit in the 12th house, the development of awareness is highly advised. Meditation, yoga, spiritual practice and therapy are some tools that can be used.

Other ways this Pluto transit can manifest are compulsive isolation, having a Plutonic person enter their life, like a Scorpio rising or a person with a strong Pluto in their chart, usually in their 7th house of mirrors. The person to whom this chart I show here belongs to, is an elderly woman. Her case is very interesting, because she kept very traumatic sexual events from her childhood suppressed. She never did therapy, and she's been psychologically 'drowning' all her life. Holding to a spiritual practice with iron fists in the late part of her life she projected her unresolved issues onto others, usually with a very critical approach, like condemning herself on the other. Until one day, a caregiver entered her everyday life and they started sharing 'stuff'. It was a volcanic eruption, or more so like a putrefied cyst cut open. There was crying for days, asking for forgiveness left and right, confession interviews with spiritual leaders, the great unload! For this kind of process, one needs the help of a  professional, because one needs to learn how to fill the void with new and positive people, circumstances, events, otherwise, the suffering can linger infinitely making the person dwell in it.

This person was also forced to seclusion in a nursing home (12th house places), where all her time is spent in unavoidable reflection and contemplation. Her spiritual practice was entirely 'decomposed' to the point that she doesn't want to attend the church anymore. She abandoned her habit of reading and over-reading the Scriptures to the point of memorization. As I explained before, this is the sign of Pluto's destruction of things that don't serve you anymore.

Other Aquarius may feel more inclined to long distant travel into very different cultures, or secret trips abroad, long stays in ashrams, monasteries, or artistic expression. For some, it could be so serious that they end up in prison for past crimes that are now in the open, or hospitalized for serious hidden mysterious conditions, usually related to unresolved psychological imbalance that they psycho-somatize. Your dreams can be very vivid and give you 'revelations'. It really depends on the person's life circumstances, and how big the psychological issues are. Others still feel the need to research secrets, occult or taboo topics, or to develop psychic abilities.

For most people I think it is great that Saturn comes along at this time, transiting Capricorn from behind Pluto. Even more beneficial if you happen to have your natal Saturn there, in the 12th house. As you see in the picture above. She has her natal Saturn at 17º. When Pluto transited over the natal Saturn, it destroyed the old fears, old secret structures of the Soul, old psychological, and spiritual structures that don't serve her anymore. Once the Transit Saturn comes over the Natal Saturn, he will reconstruct them, giving her new parameters, new spiritual boundaries for her Soul. This is called the Saturn Return. He comes along first time between the ages of 28 and 30, second time between 56 and 58, and in her case this is her third Return. Saturn cycle is 29.5 years. If you happen to be around those ages, take a look at your chart, or order your Astrological Reading, I can tell you how Saturn is affecting you, in which area of your life it will help you restructure and build new boundaries, and get rid of karma.

Coming back to the discovery of the suppressed or hidden Soul 'Wealth' in this Pluto 'quest', Aquarius can be made aware that even though this is a long a painful process, Pluto is preparing for them to rise back up from the underworld again as the Phoenix.  After 2024, when Pluto enters their 1st house of identity and their 'persona', they will find a new way of being, a new Self. Pluto will transit Aquarius for about 2 decades to make sure the Identity reconstruction is thoroughly done.

As you can see, Pluto transits are just once in a lifetime, because the whole cycle takes 248 years. So Aquarius can feel special for this 'dark touch', that will clean their Soul of debris. In my astrological opinion, Aquarius are very special ancient and wise Souls present on Earth now with a huge responsibility. That is the reason why they have to go through such hardships and deepest transformations. If you are an Aquarius, please reflect on the Big Picture Perspective, and how your Spiritual Life can help humanity during these times of upheaval and chaos. You are the agents and builders of the Age of Aquarius. You're not just living in the physical plane, but you're creating in your mind a new realm of life, a new future physical plane.
