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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
