MARS TRANSITS: ACTION!

Mars is the energetic warrior planet that charges full speed ahead without much thought. This energy is filtered through the many aspects of our natal chart, and depending on the sign, house and aspects to him would further confirm how the energy is expressed. By Transit, we can expect areas in which the house he is transiting to be an area in which we will apply our efforts or direct our energy. You must always take into consideration other aspects being made to Mars in your natal chart, the transiting Mars, and the house ruler to better define, specifics. However, the general consensus is that we will whether driven by a crisis or a simple opportunity or desire, much can get done in that particular house if the energy is used wisely.

During this time, we will charge full speed ahead! This is usually a time of great energy, (if other aspects allow as always) However, after the slow down phase of Mars transit through the 12th house this is quite a shift. 

Now is the time to take the initiative.You will feel like to want to take off in a direction any direction so just pick one. You will carry yourself with more confidence during this transit. You are also much more willing than usual to speak your mind and go after what it is you want to accomplish. You are full of energy. If you are unable to be active for instance" confined to a desk" you can find yourself easily frustrated and may at times come off temperamental to others. It is best if you use this energy, even if you need to work out before or after the office.  
It is a great time to get in shape or start a workout program, whether or not you will stick to it will involve other factors, but you will get a good start. 

Negatively, if there are hard aspects to your Mars from outer planets during this transit you may become temperamental, demanding, or too pushy with others. You may feel impatient or a strong sense of urgency. Also, it's possible that others may be too pushy with you, or argumentative. It's best used to just go about your business and try not to start any fights and if others do avoid them.

This transit may begin with a crisis that puts you into "money making mode". The planets will do whatever it takes to get our butts moving and with Mars, he wants us to make moves take action and make things happen. If you are fortunate enough to not experience a mini money crisis, then you may instead want to spend! Your desire for the finer things in life might be sparked even if you're not a material person you may feel like shopping or conversely you may need too.
