On April 30, 2024, the cosmic warrior Mars enters its home sign of Aries until June 8, 2024. This dynamic planetary phase starts a 5 ½ week period of intensified drive, ambition, and assertiveness individually and collectively. Under the influence of Aries' bold and pioneering spirit we can experience a surge of initiative and determination, motivating us to go after our goals with unwavering resolve.
Mars is the ruler of Aries and Mars in Aries is super charged! Aries is fire that flares up and the first sign of the zodiac, representing “I Am”, the cosmic expression to develop the will, to claim ourselves. Aries is also symbolized by the Ram, a powerful creature, head down and poised to charge ahead. With these examples it’s easy to feel the power and energy of Aries.
Mars in Aries fuels assertiveness which is necessary in taking right action and setting boundaries; finding courage when it is needed. However, be aware of impulsiveness that can lead to undesired results. Headstrong Aries can often jump into a situation, make a decision of any sort and at times, just as quickly regret it.
Emotions of frustration, fear and anger are more easily ignited during this phase. If these feelings escalate, take a moment to step back and assess if your reaction accurately reflects the situation. Sometimes it’s important to act in the moment, but often it’s wiser to harness the fiery nature of Aries with mindful intention; take a pause and breathe, re-center yourself and make sure that what you say or do is appropriate and what you truly mean to express.
Mars represents action, passion, drive and sexuality and in the realm of personal relationships, passions can intensify urging us to express our desires with unwavering honesty and assertiveness. There are times this motivation can be helpful to share powerful feelings, deepening a connection, however, as Aries is naturally oriented to “my needs” there are circumstances where egos can clash and conflicts can become heated. Remember to hold space for the other person as well as yourself and navigate any significant relationships with grace and empathy, honoring the needs and desires both.
During this phase with fiery exuberance, as Mars blazes through the sign of Aries, we are invited to strengthen our will and embrace the mantle of the warrior with courage and conviction, setting forth on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. That even if the road ahead holds obstacles or adversity, we are compelled to fearlessly engage with life and confront any challenges head-on.
