Mars began its transit through the responsible, hardworking sign of Capricorn this evening, 12/7, at 6:49 PM EST ... this Mars energy is absolutely all about getting the job done and doing so very thoroughly!!! ... there is great energy channeled into professional ambition here ... it is extremely materialistic ... desire for recognition and high status is very intense ... actions are usually well organized and very carefully calculated to achieve concrete results in terms of money and professional advancement ... as a result, many business executives are born with Mars in Capricorn or have Mars in the 10th house - the house of career and public image ...
In astrological terms, Mars is said to be "exalted" in the sign of Capricorn ... every planet has one particular sign, apart from the one it rules, where it expresses itself most harmoniously ... complementary forces are increased and the virtues are magnified ... for Mars it is Capricorn because the organization and discipline of Saturn - the planet which rules Capricorn - makes for the most efficient, practical use of the Mars energy ... here people are more capable of decisive action ... not as much energy may be expended, but the energy that one expends is usually more effective ... there is also a high degree of self-control and discipline, and orders can be taken from those in power and implemented producing positive results ... therefore, it should come as no surprise that many who pursue military careers are born with Mars in Capricorn!!!
Mars in Capricorn bestows pride in doing a job correctly along with a corresponding disrespect for laziness and lack of ambition ... one has to be careful under this energy not to use people for the sake of status and material gain due to a loss of human values in the intensity of ones material ambition ... if Mars in Capricorn is heavily afflicted in ones natal chart with this placement, or the current transiting chart under this energy, there can be a danger of broken bones!!!
Mars in Capricorn signifies force and energy kept under control ... that is, to be used when it is necessary ... ones strength here lies in the ability to endure ... obstacles in ones path are usually run over roughshod ... there is vigor and dynamic force along with quiet self-reliance ... sexual nature becomes earthy and passionate with the element of self-control governing relationships ... sometimes one is hot-blooded, sexy and romantic, and at other times chilly, withdrawn and disinterested ... sexually, passion is expressed only to someone whom you have allowed yourself to become intimately involved with ... ultimately the lesson here is learning not to just indulge in a body for its own sake without appreciating that it houses a Soul ...
The essence of Mars in Capricorn is "getting through building" ... here we have the master builder, the chief executive ... one goes about getting what one wants with such a deliberate, pragmatic and sure-footed fashion, that whatever you get usually remains yours!!! ... achievements are based on a very firm foundation, and as a rule, short cuts are not taken as one realizes they often become the longer way around ... the key here is to learn to appreciate that one is getting somewhere by trusting that the "building work" is going on even though at times it may be taking place unconsciously or beneath the surface where most foundations are usually based ...
Mars in Capricorn can often be an indicator of the self-made person due to the ultimate realization, sooner or later, that it may become necessary to have to go it alone ... the ability to delegate and regulate is an essential quality under this energy ... and this apples to both the personal and professional areas of ones life ... this ability results mainly from having a purpose and a plan along with a sense of timing ... one of the greatest gifts of Mars in Capricorn is in learning to pace yourself and not be pressured by others who do not understand the certainty of ultimate success ... so the energy breaks down in this manner:
POSITIVE: persistent, single-minded, nobody's fool, industrious, works according to plan, earthy and practical, authoritative, respects order, disciplined, commands respect, sexually disciplined, capabale of celibacy, strong sex drive, self-reliant, energetic worker, decisive, cuts through red tape, inscrutable
NEGATIVE: pig-headed, disagreeable, dog-eat-dog attitude, workaholic, cold and calculating, insists on material results, uses others, lust for control, disregards others' rights, slave-driving, sexually controlling/controlled, suppresses libido, lacking affection, lonely, restless at work, agonizing, bucks the system, self-mystifying
Mars remains in the sign of Capricorn until January 15th of next year ... but as the Universe giveth, so, with its own sense of cosmic humor, does it taketh away ... the joke here is that even though we are going to be infused with this energy that says move forward, get it done, achieve the ultimate, Mercury will begin its retrograde journey this coming Friday that will affect the first half of this Mars transit - be careful not to make major new starts with this driven energy until AFTER December 30th when the Mercury Retrograde ends ... however pouring your energy into preparations or research would be a good way to use this energy to start with ... is everyone laughing now or simply GROANING!!! ...
My fellow Capricorn born individuals, as you are probably aware when Mars transits ones birth sign, one is given an extra boost of energy, but for some reason - and with Saturn being our ruling planet, we subconsciously know that there has to be a hiccup somewhere - we are only allowed half of the time that most other signs are given ... but aren't we used to restriction and limitation anyway??? ... be careful once Mercury turns back into direct motion that with all this extra energy, you don't accidentally "incinerate" someone with the fiery energy empowering you !!!
Even though the Holiday season is technically upon us until after New Year's day, we still feel the need to be in a festive and celebratory mode of operation ... the Universe in its infinite wisdom has seen to it that we begin to start focusing our attention on what must be done and preparing ourselves for what will ultimately be revealed to us ... and what a way to start the New Year out under than with this determined and hardworking energy of Mars in Capricorn!!!
