Mars and Your Mojo

Mars is the action planet, symbolizing passion, desire and the expression of anger. When you’re hot under the collar -- for good or bad reasons -- that’s Mars showing his face. What you may not know is that Mars is happier in some signs than others, and when Warrior God Mars is at his best, it’s much easier to take action and create passion.

Mars is in one of his favorite signs, Scorpio, having entered on September 14 and remaining there until October 28, making this fall season one of the best times all year to improve your level of satisfaction in life and love.

Mars in Scorpio represents emotional desire manifested in the world at large. You’ll know deeply what it is you want under this influence, and will find you have an intuitive understanding about what to do and when to make it happen. This is one of the sexiest, most passionate astro combinations, so if you’re hoping to spice up your love life, this is the period in which to do so.

Mars is also the planet linked to anger and assertiveness, and when he faces off with the Moon on September 26 and 27, tensions are likely to peak. Emotions run high through this period, (it’s also just after a Full Moon) and it’ll be hard to ignore what’s frustrating. Instead, use the cosmic vibes then to speak up about what’s bothering you and channel your anger into action.

If you want more passion -- in your life or your relationships -- October 9 and 10 are perfect days for living with heart. Be bold about expressing your desires then. The Moon aligns with Mars then under a New Moon phase, making this period perfect for new rituals around intimacy and being direct. Wear bold colors like red, purple and navy to show strength and remind you of your passions.
