Cosmic Watch:

Fanatics in power and the funnel of a tornado have this in common – the narrow path in which they move is marked by violence and destruction.” – Oscar Otlund

Mars in Sagittarius square Jupiter in Pisces is exact on Monday, November 29th, 2010 (9:51 am), although this very potent influence is already applying and will be felt even for a few days after it is exact.

At its noblest, Mars square Jupiter can galvanize us to take “heroic action.” Mars, the planet of energy and adventure, can signify “acts of courage” and “bravery.”  Aligned with expansive Jupiter, which symbolizes our “higher beliefs” and “philosophy of life,” we are more willing to “crusade” or “go to bat” for whatever it is that we believe in. We may believe we are on a quest for the truth.

President Abraham Lincoln, for example, delivered the Gettysburg Address, one of the most inspiring speeches in American history, with Mars and Jupiter exactly conjunct in the heavens. Jupiter also rules political statesmen and public speaking.

We also seem to have more physical energy at our disposal with this aspect, as expander Jupiter “enlarges” whatever it touches, and linked with energizer Mars, the energy in the body mounts proportionately.

Mars-Jupiter is also associated with sports and athletics and potentially gives us a greater desire to want to excel/break records as our competitive spirit tends to be very high with this energy.

A common pitfall to this Mars-Jupiter energy is that we can go overboard or overexert ourselves physically.

Mars placement in “forward-thinking” Sagittarius likely focuses our attention on the future.  It is deemed to be visionary. We are potentially now thinking more about the long-term effects of our actions and how we can leave our imprint on the collective.

Of course, this Mars in Sadge desire to tangibly shape the future is magnified that much more now with Mars’ alignment with expansive Jupiter, the natural ruler of Sagittarius. Jupiter, too, is tucked away in dreamy, idealistic Pisces.

Jupiter, too, although generally regarded as a benefic planet with seemingly positive impact for our lives, on the shadow side, it can make us a little too full of ourselves, moralistic. Merged with high-octane Mars, we can more easily take issue with others’ beliefs or principles, feeling that we are justified in doing so, because we are only following “higher directives.”
