Have you faced a fight or felt more fired up or short-fused during the past few days? You can pin it on planet Mars ditching Pisces for Aries. For the next five weeks, Mars will continue to pack a punch—or help you do so. There’s nothing slow or subtle about this ready-shoot-aim transit.

As of Friday, Venus also advances into Aries. On the same page with her hot-blooded partner Mars, both lust for the fresh, new, and freeing. Both are on a cut to the chase regarding all matters to do with relationships.

Venus is usually a fast traveller, but due to her upcoming retrograde cycle (March 3 to April 15), Venus keeps the heat turned on through the start of June. This transit allows extra time to bring it up to speed, to feel our way through a “new me”, which also evolves the “new we”. Financial matters stay on the front burner too. Although the duo can fire up a hot new lover or money maker, know they are also hot for battle.

As of Sunday, Jupiter in Libra begins a five-month retrograde cycle. Shifting social trends and tides during the next few months, Jupiter retrograde takes us through a more intensified observation and questioning period, this in order to sharpen our perspective and to lead us to more truthful answers, to a more balanced reconciliation with self and circumstances.

Mercury’s advance into Aquarius on Tuesday also serves as an awakening, informing, instigating, and activation influence. Tuesday through next Saturday are especially opportune; luck runs high for some. Take your best shot! The exceptional could come to pass.
