Normally, the red planet remains in a sign for eight weeks, but thanks to a backward agitation from September 13 to November 9, Mars stirred the pot in the kingdom of Aries for six whole months.
After this frantic cycle, Mars sinks into a pragmatic, comfort-loving Taurus. Can we get a global exhalation, please? Between now and March 3, everyone’s main task will be to sort out all the big ideas – and epic conflicts – that have arisen since the middle of last year, especially those (like, say, the U.S. presidential election) that heated up during the retrograde.
Instead of repeating every detail of the fight or fighting for the advantage, the focus shifts to finding real solutions. It is true that these may not be the eight most exciting weeks on the annual calendar. But don’t underestimate the slow-burning power of Mars in Taurus!
As a cosmic contractor, this transit can help us delve to the root of any problem and then force us to fix any fundamental cracks that have provided a false sense of security at best.
