When Mars is in Sagittarius, taking action and learning through real, raw, physical experiences are the most direct route to attaining great wisdom. You can also demonstrate wisdom by being the example of what you want to see in the world.
Mars in Sagittarius is passionate, enthusiastic, and driven to succeed.
This is a good time for athletes to push themselves further than ever and believing in their abilities. Taking action toward something you can be proud of is motivating and confidence building. Anger, frustration and charged feelings can find an outlet here, turning excess energy into inspired actions and going for big aspirations. Aim high!
Mars, as the archetypal warrior, indicates that a sense of urgency to act can increase. The ego can be a strong motivator with Mars, possibly resulting in excessive, over the top actions and reactions.
In Sagittarius, Mars can also indicate shake-ups in world affairs and a growing tension between leaders. Actions on the world stage might get louder and more noticeable. Aggressive stances between countries could potentially grow while strategic moves and orders of offense and defense may expand. World-wide considerations like immigration and war can get more attention.
Mars in Sagittarius also indicates potential issues with airlines and travel. Mechanical issues and possibly aggressive behavior on flights could make the news.
On a more personal level, since Sagittarius is also energized in a more jovial, humorous, and open minded direction, those with excess energy could enjoy fits of laughter and slapstick behaviors. Those that lack self control, could behave in loud, even obnoxious ways. Egotistical and self centered behavior is enhanced.
Overall, there is an adventurous quality to Mars in Sagittarius. A desire to travel and have energizing experiences is likely to increase when Mars is in Sagittarius. Do be cautious of engaging in too much risky behavior as it can lead to accidents and injuries. It’s best to be in wide-open spaces during sporting and physical activities.
