MARS ENTERS PISCES:
Also on Thursday November 15th at 5:21 P.M. EST until December 31st at 9:20 P.M. EST Mars enters this Neptune ruled sign. These two energies don’t really do so well together. The ego-fueled Mars needs to make a strong statement and act in a forceful and assertive way. But Pisces energy doesn’t respond that well to aggression. It’s more passive and spiritual and can seem at odds with Mars’ need to control situations through its unbending will. This doesn’t mean that we won’t have assertiveness, just that it will be displayed in a very different way than we are used to. By the way, most major sea battles have occurred while Mars is in transit through the water signs – which shouldn’t be a real surprise to students of mundane astrology. During the Battle of Midway Mars was in Cancer. During the Battle of Trafalgar on Oct 24th 1805 Mars was in Scorpio, etc. So you see, there is plenty of energy with Mars in a water sign. It’s how we manifest it that matters. Unless you’re planning on attacking an armada the best way that you can use this transit is working towards the greater good. Anything you can do that is somewhat selfless, helping out a friend, working with a charity or other forms of giving will be productive. This is also a good aspect for artists, especially musicians, writers, photographers and film makers. There will be a lot of energy for creative ventures and whether or not you’re active in the arts you can use this force to stimulate your imagination and look at situations from a different perspective. You may be able to discover a new way of dealing with an old problem. At the very least you will be more attuned to the ethereal side of things and I’ll bet many of us have interesting and active dreams. J
