What’s interesting about this transit?
- According to some Renaissance astrologers, Mars trine Mars was seen as a sign that a person would increase their “martial riches” – not just money, but things like tools, weapons, or horses. Basically, you’d get more of whatever makes you feel powerful or self-sufficient.
- Arabic astrologers sometimes called this a “transit of eager blades.” It meant not only being strong, but also being protected from secret enemies. They thought courage would bring safety, and even your rivals would step aside for a while.
- Some old texts claim this transit would give you “right anger” – meaning the ability to get mad at the right times, not overreact or let stuff slide that you shouldn’t. They also said it could help heal wounds left by pride or past fights.
- In medieval astrology, Mars trine Mars sometimes linked to “the red feast.” This wasn’t always about literal food, but about enjoying physical pleasures with no guilt – like dancing, wrestling, or celebrating victories.
- There’s a lesser-known view from Hellenistic astrology that talks about “Mars in harmony with itself” helping a person recover their lost confidence, especially after a period of feeling weak or defeated.
Experiencing This Transit
When Mars in the sky makes a trine to your natal Mars, it feels like a big shot of pure motivation straight into your system. You just get energy, drive, and a sense of “I can totally do this.” It’s not about being pushy or wild, but about getting things done in a way that feels natural and strong. You might find it a lot easier to stick up for yourself, take charge, and get moving on stuff you’ve been putting off. Projects that need strength, courage, or fast action get a boost.
Physical stuff especially goes well now. Workouts, sports, sex, physical labor, or even just waking up in the morning suddenly feel way less of a hassle. People find themselves more direct, honest, and way less bothered by obstacles. It’s also a time when you want to compete, test yourself, or prove what you can do – but in a friendly, positive, or at least healthy way.
Challenges during this transit
- Overdoing it: When you suddenly have this much energy, it’s easy to say yes to everything. You might commit to more than you can really handle or stay up all night on adrenaline, then crash later.
- Too much directness: The honest, bold Mars vibe is awesome, but if you’re not careful, it can turn into being a little too blunt, or accidentally stepping on someone’s toes (even though you didn’t mean to).
- Restlessness: Sometimes the urge to do something right now is so strong, you might start things you don’t actually want to finish. Or you might get impatient with people who move slower.
- Ignoring the small stuff: Mars is about action, not details, so you might overlook paperwork, little chores, or small tasks if they seem boring compared to the big stuff you’re focused on.
Opportunities during this transit
- Taking action: If there’s something you’ve wanted to start – a fitness goal, a business idea, fixing stuff around the house – this is your green light. You’ve got all the “go power” you need.
- Health and fitness: Great time to ramp up workouts, join a sports team, or even just be more physically active. Your body responds well under this transit, and injuries heal faster too.
- Building confidence: Trust your instincts! You’re likely to make decisions in a healthy, balanced way and stand up for yourself without feeling guilty or worried.
- Leadership: Whether it’s at work, with friends, or in the family, people are more likely to listen to you, and you’ll feel more comfortable taking on a leadership role.
- Fixing past arguments: The brave, straightforward energy can make it easier to talk through disagreements, apologize, or finally speak up about stuff that’s been bothering you, clearing the air the right way.
