"I WANT YOUR SEX " !!!

Mars will  blaze its way into and begin its intense and intimate transit through the "wicked", driven, probing sign of Scorpio today, July 25th, at 10:25 PM EDT ... as Mars is the planet of action, aggression, initiative, courage and sexual drive and Scorpio is the sign of profound desire, transformation, regeneration and healing - LOOK OUT!!! ... so how many of you will find yourselves beginning to become really fired up and driven about pursuing something and/or someone as the days and weeks progress, feeling intense and full of energy, rather irritated about something or just plain extra horny - more so than usual !!! ... hmmm????

Mars in Scorpio is energy that is extremely driven, and that would be a huge understatement ... this energy can give one an increased confidence in ones own personal power, make one very intense, driven and confrontational, but also can make one sexy, compassionate and incisive ... there are apt to be strong desires, compulsions, and a need to thrive on challenges ... some desires may be achieved here only by transforming some intense emotions ... the urge to control others is great along with a susceptibility to vengefulness, resentment, and a lack of trust in others resulting if one goes too far ... there is great endurance with this energy as well as all-or-nothing tendencies ... and the SEX DRIVE - CAN WE TALK??? - is unbelievably pronounced in this energy ... there is an incredible amount of stamina bestowed ... most people born with natal Mars in Scorpio understand that sex is a natural bodily function and they can go at it all night long and the next morning pick up where they got off - oops, I guess I should rephrase that and say where the left off!!! - and go at it again ... they also are usually not the least bit inhibited about talking about sex and some will be very experimental in their approach to satisfying this drive ... of course other energy in the natal chart could modify this but at the very least these people will be very driven about something ... the house placement at birth would give a good clue as to what it's all about ...

Mars in Scorpio can be very angry about something but you may never know it ... it will forgive but NEVER forget!!! ... it will eventually get retribution in some form but, since it has tenacity, it might not be right away ... this is the natural planning and plotting energy of the zodiac!!! ... Mars in Scorpio can make people a very dangerous enemy as they may hold grudges and nurse anger like steam in a pressure cooker until it explodes  and the effects can be disastrous ... there is also the extra ability to recover from physical strain here more so than any other placement ...

Mars is the "ancient" ruler of Scorpio ... after all, Pluto, the current ruler and also referred to as co-ruler, was not discovered until 1930 ... so this can be a very beneficial placement as Mars is very comfortable in this sign ... the tremendous emotional intensity here gives one relentless courage and a thoroughness in executing their direct intentions ... Mars in Scorpio can lead to the greatest level of spiritual achievement or to the lowest depths of moral degradation and destruction depending on how the energy is used ... while this energy can make one very secretive and not reveal their plans or actions without good reason, there is a need here to learn greater detachment and objectivity ...

The lesson of Mars in Scorpio is all about what we get through our desires ... the powerful sense of survival and sexuality becomes intertwined here ... it gives one a kind of magnetic intensity that illicit a response from others whether or not you are actually looking for it ... the inherent strength and power of Mars in Scorpio is the ability to heal or transform the environment in some way and this begins with your self-image ... there is absolutely no equal to this energy when it comes to pushing for changes and improvements where they are most needed whether its for personal evolution or the evolution of society ... the possible effects of Mars in Scorpio energy are as follows:

POSITIVE: charismatic, highly sexed, irresistible, emotionally rich, strong-willed, indestructible, forceful, courageous, thorough, exhaustive, determined, ambitious, probing, healing, discreet, perceptive, passionate, deep, powerful

NEGATIVE: megalomaniac, degrading, dissipated, resentful, stubborn, self-destructive, brutal, seething, cruel, exhausting, unrelentless, ruthless, prying, manipulative, devious, caustic, jealous, dark, cold-blooded, revengeful

Mars remains in the sign of Scorpio until September 13th  ... the next 7 weeks could prove to be either extremely productive or highly disastrous depending on how you use and react to the energy ... Scorpio born individuals, remember this is a 7 week period where you become more energized while Mars is in your birth sign - just be careful not to "incinerate" or steam roll over others with this extra boost you receive !!! ... Aries born, you may find a highly compulsive drive over the next 7 weeks to dig deep down and solve the "mystery" of some situation or person that has become the object of your desire !!!

Mars now joins Saturn currently in the sign of Scorpio ... and as the weeks progress and Mars moves up closer to conjunct Saturn towards the end of August, we could find ourselves becoming the frustrated victim of the "start/stop ... start/stop ... stop/start" energy that Mars and Saturn in conjunction can produce as the energy needed to complete the intended action can simply run out ... or perhaps we will get a lot accomplished if it involves work that requires highly concentrated and disciplined energy ... and ultimately, who or what you may be driven towards in hopes of it ending with a "bang" may only wind up ending with a weak little whimper !!!
