MARS IN PISCES

“How much has to be explored and discarded before reaching the naked flesh of feeling?” Claude Debussy

Energizer Mars dives into emotional Pisces tonight (8:06 pm EST), where it will, no doubt, try to make a big splash over the next six weeks.

It is characteristically the nature of Mars to “stir things up,” as it represents our physical energy and ignites our passions – although when he is submerged underwater in Pisces, much of his “fire” is put out.

Mars in Pisces is also thought to be linked with passive aggressive behavior, or misplaced aggression.

But lest we get fooled by warrior Mars here, he can still be a barracuda!

Too, it is wise to always note whenever Mars changes zodiacal signs. It is at those times when Mars enters a new sign that we often collectively see very notable or pivotal things occurring with respect to “Mars-ruled” matters: aggression, war, adventurous new beginnings, discoveries or breakthroughs.  We also have to take into consideration the zodiacal sign that Mars is moving through.

Pisces, for example, rules the sea and oil; oil has also been spiking upwards due to the unrest in the Middle East. We may all want to keep a close eye on oil with volatile Mars moving into Pisces. (When Chiron entered Pisces last year was the very day we had the BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.)

Mars in Pisces is also potentially a very imaginative/creative placement for the “red planet” including possible talent for art, music, dancing, acting, film and photography. Too, there may be a greater desire now for spiritual retreat/temporary seclusion from the world as a way of recharging our batteries.

Romantically, Mars in Pisces tends to be fantasy-driven and very sensual, so we will definitely want to clear our calendars to make sure that we do have plenty of time for nocturnal pastimes. 🙂

The shadow side of Mars in Pisces:  There can be indecisiveness, disillusionment, extremism (including religious fanaticism). Or too much of an immersion into fantasy or idealism.

Too, with Pisces being more of a selfless/ ego-denying sign, we ideally progress now by doing more for others than for ourselves, especially more for persons who are downtrodden, disabled, or down on their luck for whatever reason.

“Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.” Dalai Lama
