Mars in Aquarius ♂ 2022

Artist: Tuco Amalfi

Mar 5 – Apr 14, 2022

Forget Mars in Capricorn and the compulsion to be productive at all times – it’s time to shake things up with Mars in Aquarius. Actions are no longer regarded so seriously. It’s time to go on adventures and ditch the routine. Work is much less interesting now than exploration.

Mars in Aquarius is unemotional and detached, yet forthright and defiant. There’s plenty of passion here, plenty of martial fire, but it’s channeled mostly into political and humanitarian ideals. Natives with this placement get REALLY riled up about the state of the world, and for good reason. Listen to Aquarians – they see it clearly, all the bullshit and the lies. Aquarians give it to us unfiltered. Their message is not always gracefully delivered, but it sparkles with indignation.

This cycle asks us to be more involved in our communities. Mars in Aquarius wants us to get involved on a political level too. Natives with this placement are always encouraging people to vote, march, sign petitions, etc – they are really great at spreading awareness and waking people up.

Aquarius is one of the most erratic, disorganized brothers in the zodiac. Mars in Aquarius makes us exceptionally outspoken, if not volatile or unpredictable. The mind and tongue dance way ahead of the body, which means that we might spout off and say crazy shit sometimes, but it also means that we need to make a concerted effort to stay focused. Natives with this placement are easily distracted. One of the greatest challenges will be simply finishing what we start.

Mar 5: Venus & Mars enter Aquarius on the same day. That means we get a lovely conjunction between these two planets to kick off this exciting cycle. Venus-Mars conjunctions make the mind hyper-focused on relationships and communication. I wish you divine harmony & balance between feminine and masculine energies.

Mar 20: Spring Equinox

Mar 22: Mars square Uranus in Taurus. Unexpected events. Delays, cancellations, mishaps. Tension in the body. Social tension. Cosmic tension. Fire and lightning. Restlessness.

Apr 4: Mars conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. A profound sense of accomplishment comes with this powerful conjunction. Brimming with energy, rushing about. All things flowing your way. Be careful though, because Aquarius always has something up his sleeve. Trust your intuition.
