Planetary Ingresses

December 13, 2021



At 1:53 a.m.: Mars enters Sagittarius

In the pre-dawn hours, Mars enters Sagittarius, motivating us to seek our heart’s desires. Mars has been moving through Scorpio, the sign of its domicile, since October 30, during which time we were compelled to plumb our emotional depths. Here, we faced a reconciliation of what it means to wield power, enabling ourselves to transform our circumstances through direct action.  Now, Mars begins its quest through a sign that is more about breadth than depth. We can find ourselves quickly flitting from one engagement to the next, as we try to cover as much ground as possible. Literal travel may be on the agenda, as well as increased enthusiasm to seek new education.  In relationships, we more keenly value our freedom, perhaps opting for no-strings sexual arrangements or open relationships. Partnerships are primarily sought out in the interest of exploration rather than convention under this influence.   

At 8:03 a.m.: The moon is trine the sun

In the morning, the Aries moon trines the Sagittarius sun, fostering harmony. This is an excellent transit to start off the day. Our fiery spirit is infectious, infusing all our interactions with a feeling of excitement and possibility. People are drawn to our aura now, and we are eager to capitalize on this social influence to meet new people and exchange ideas. The concept of movement is amplified here, so this is a good time for physical activity. If we are forced to sit still, we may lose the energy that can take us far at this time.
