Mars in Sagittarius + Mercury in Capricorn

Mars - the warrior planet ruling over energy, drive, passion, and anger - moves from it’s place of comfort and power from Scorpio into the fiery energy of Sagittarius. While Mars was in Scorpio, we had our focus on what it is we desire. We explored the depths within us to see where it is we want to go from here. That energy was very intense and highly focused on making things happen in order to align ourselves with the right path to get us to our ultimate vision.

Now that Mars in entering into the fancy-free sign of Sagittarius, our quest for learning and exploration becomes heightened. We are eager to learn about new things under this transit. The Sagittarian energy has us excited and curious about the world around us, and very motivated to jump into new things where learning are concerned. It’s where we tap into our higher selves, our inner wisdom, and connect the dots from our shadow work.

We may find ourselves having lots of energy to throw into new projects, but because Sagittarian energy is all over the place, we may start things and never truly finish them. We want to experience life under this energy, but seeing as the Sagittarian energy has big, huge, expansive ideas, we might just find ourselves biting off more than we can chew.

The good news is, this particular energy event will hep us kick start our new year’s resolutions (technically our New Year began after the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sag on December 4th), and will help support us in setting out to learn new things. It will be up to us to dig deep and activate our passion in order to stick to a plan and have the discipline to see our newly founded projects through.

Be mindful that all this fire energy can also push the boundaries of anger and irritability. We may become very frustrated in trying to get things started, or trying to maintain the focused needed and required to get new projects off to the right start. Use this fire energy to motivate yourself to start fresh instead of letting it push you into the depths of anger of not knowing where to start.

Only hours after Mars moves into Sagittarius, we have Mercury - ruler of the mental plane, information, and communication - moving out of Sagittarius and moving into Capricorn. After what has been a very forward-thinking time of inspiration and very hungry quest for truth and knowledge, Mercury’s time in Sagittarius had us thinking big and unable to focus on one complete thought and idea at a time. Mercury shifting into Capricorn will help us put the blinders on and focus on what beautiful ideas and inspirations we had while in Sag and actually plan and strategize how to move forward with bringing these elements to life.

Mercury in Capricorn is shifting our mindset now to a more down-to-earth approach as we find a way to bring our genius ideas for the future into our reality. We add logic and practicality to our long term dreams and visions. With Mercury now in Capricorn, we are a bit more rational now as we look at all the ideas and inspirations we received under the influence of Mercury being in Sagittarius, realizing the importance of our focus is now on our foundational goals.

We are now setting the stage for our inner dreams to come to life, and that stage needs to be a pillar of strength for us to grow upon. It is time for us to use our knowledge and our new found truth in practical ways. We need to ground, connecting our physical selves to this physical world before our higher level of consciousness gets revamped and carried away.
