Mars Enters Sagittarius on November 24th, 2023

On November 24th, 2023, Mars enters the spontaneous and excitable sign of Sagittarius. Mars joins Mercury in the constellation of this mutable fire sign, right as Sagittarius season begins! With so many planets and the Sun itself in Sagittarius, this period of time is likely to be full of excitement, energy, and the occasional blunt comment.

Mars rules our drive, passion, and energies. It’s a planet of action, combativeness, and ambition. Martian energy can feel aggressive and hot-tempered from time to time, which is why it’s important to maintain clarity and a sense of inner peace during this transit. When Mars enters the fiery sign of Sagittarius, its energy may feel overwhelming at first!

Let’s discuss what happens when Mars enters Sagittarius in more detail.

The Significance of Mars Entering Sagittarius

Mars rules fellow fire sign Aries and once presided over Scorpio, according to traditional astrological teachings. Martian energy is often marked by intensity, drive, and a tenacity that feels all-consuming. However, when Mars enters Sagittarius, it adopts a fluid, flexible quality. While the drive and ambition of Mars remain, goals feel full of positive what-ifs as opposed to crushing structure or strict tasks that need accomplishing.

Sagittarius energy is all about what’s around the bend, what seems promising about the future. Mars entering Sagittarius may help each and every one of us feel as if anything is possible. However, this energetic planet entering an energetic sign may also leave us feeling full of unused or ill-used energy. This will only be exacerbated by the Sun transiting the sign of Sagittarius two days before Mars!

Given that Sagittarians believe in personal philosophies and expansion, it may be wise to use this excess of Martian energy to work on yourself. But let’s explore what this transit might mean for your zodiac sign in more detail now.

Now may be the time to take them, as this transit supports going after all things new and unfamiliar!

Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)

Personal philosophies are your bread and butter, Aquarius. Mars entering Sagittarius may imbue you with the desire to share your philosophies with others. You’re always sociable and interested in the unique viewpoints other people can offer you. Now is the time to connect with new individuals in spontaneous ways. Spend some time in social settings and express yourself freely, without fear of what others may think of your personal visions!

Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)

You may be feeling inspired by this transit, Pisces. With Mars entering mutable Sagittarius, now is the time to embrace your capacity for change. You may not know what change is right for you during this time, as the 12th house often conceals things from you. But trust this process and put your sweet and tender heart forward.
