Let us all breathe a sigh of relief now that Mars will finally leave Aries at 5:27 pm on January 6th! Mars, planet of passion, anger and fire, in its own sign of Aries, has inflamed a great deal of simmering rage in the collective unconscious. Mars in Taurus can be explosive – after all, a bull is placid until it finally has had enough and then you’d better get out of the way. But it is less inflammatory, and there is an underlying desire for a peaceful experience. Don’t get too comfortable, however, because while Mars is in Taurus it will form a challenging square to both Saturn and Jupiter which are newly in Aquarius. I have my eye especially on the square from Mars to Saturn on January 13th, and over the next week as that alignment builds we will likely continue to see conflict in the political arena.
That doesn’t mean, though, that our personal lives must follow that same trajectory. Mars teaches us to go after what we desire and to defend ourselves with passion and strength, and in Taurus we can develop a deep and powerful center, grounded in the power of nature and the Earth, which can help us to withstand any crisis that may come our way. While Mars is in Taurus (until March 3, 2021) we can slow everything down in order to focus on building that inner fortitude while we seek the peace of physical comfort and well-being. ❤️

Thank you, dear Lynn, my natal Mars is in Aries , 8H, squaring Mercury in Cancer, 10H. Having Neptune in 1st I give thanks for my Marsian energy, including square to ruling planet all of which took decades for me to appreciate as I used Divine Energy intelligently. I love to read your tireless effort to keep our minds ooen.
Oh thank you Antje. ❤️
I found your comment on the 29th degree of a transiting planet enlightening. Mars in Taurus will be interesting. And know doubt it will come conjunct Uranus in Taurus and what can we expect of that union?
Thanks Jane – interesting is an apt description, especially since Mars will square both Saturn and Jupiter before conjoining Uranus on January 20th. Hmm, something else happens that day…
Hello. I hope that you will consider doing an analysis of the riots of the 6th . I am concerned although in the West it is the Feast of Epiphany but for others it’s the eve of the Feast of the Nativity of Christ.
I would certainly appreciate your insights. Blessings and hoping for a safe and blessed New Year and Merry Christmas to and for all.
Hi Patricia, I will cover that a bit in today’s post and also as part of an ongoing series about the astrology of the US chart and the Pluto return. I’m afraid that this will not be the last of the riots, and with Saturn squaring Uranus this year the level of civil unrest will continue to increase on a global level. I say this not to frighten anyone, but we must as individuals find a way to bring peace and a sense of justice and fairness into our own lives and communities.
Thank you for your candid analysis of the riot in your current article. Aquarius and Taurus will sure make things tough. I am age 64 looking hopefully to be 65 in February and I am glad that I am not age 24 to be sure seeing this mayhem. I was just too young to comprehend the uprising over Vietnam and with African American parents both working for the Federal Government back then MLK and Civil Rights were not discussed in my home since my parents feared being labeled by the government as “subversive “. Being older and having senior friends can give one needed perspective.
However as you said White Supremacy is the linchpin involved here and yes it will be difficult to deal with it since it’s so perversely entwined with “Christianity”. If Black Christians discuss it they get muzzled. So indeed , the healing may have to come from another spiritual perspective. Thank you. Happy and safe New Year.
