The BIG NEWS today is Mars moves out of Libra (relationships, marriages and partnerships) and into Scorpio at 2:41 AM EST. AND NOT SOON ENOUGH! I might add. Mars in Libra was in its detriment, which meant it was in the worst placement for Mars and Libra. This is because Venus is Libra's natural ruling sign and Mars is Aries natural ruling sign, which is Libra's opposite sign. That means Mars was in its opposite sign (Libra) from October 4, 2019 until this morning November 19, 2019. That is a LONG TIME to be in the worst placement.

Mars is an impulsive and aggressive sign, which makes getting along with others, especially our partners and committed relationships incredibly challenging and frustrating. The people we Love the most are the ones we bark at the most (and loudest). Those of you with birth dates between October 4th up until this morning at 2:41 AM EST will have Mars in Libra in your Solar Return. Well thank God that energy is over and we are finally moving into Mars in Scorpio.

Mars in Scorpio is now in its natural ruling sign. Before Pluto was discovered, Mars was Scorpio's ruling planet, which now makes Mars Scorpio's ancient ruling sign, and Pluto is Scorpio's modern-day ruling planet.

Mars is the co-ruler of Aries and Scorpio

Mercury is the co-ruler of Gemini and Virgo

Venus is the co-ruler of Taurus and Libra

Saturn is the co-ruler of Aquarius and Capricorn. Saturn is Aquarius's ancient ruling planet before Uranus was discovered, which now makes Uranus Aquarius's modern-day ruling planet.

Jupiter is the co-ruler of Pisces and Sagittarius. Jupiter is Pisces ancient ruling planet before Neptune was discovered, which now makes Jupiter Pisces modern-day ruling planet.

Mars is the planet of assertion and drive. It will describe the degree of force that we go after what we want. Mars will tell us whether we are forceful and confrontational or if we prefer to sit back and watch. It will also reveal what motivates us and what desires drive us most powerfully. The house that Mars occupies in your Natal Chart is where these characteristics will manifest the most.

Having said that, Mars is in its ancient sign of Scorpio and is quite comfortable here. Scorpio is rarely ever a mouse about anything. It's more silent, but deadly, more than anything. Mars is a super-sexual sign, as is Scorpio, so this coupling combined makes for intense relationships, sexual encounters and chasing tater (sex). The sexual stamina of this position is thought to be the strongest of all the positions of Mars, which can cause anyone to be attracted to taboos and fantasies that may get a bit out of control.

I always say the Scorpio motto should be, "What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine. And by the way, you're mine too!" In other words, Scorpio does not share. It's not that Scorpio doesn't like to share, it just flat out won't, much less share anything personal. Scorpio really doesn't even like to compromise, instead they will likely say to you, "Choose!" so they can see where your mind is going and if there is a burden, or blame, or fallout, or fingerpointing, it will be on you and not them. "Well you said . . . " are Scorpio's famous last words.

I can tell you this, you better have one strong and tough spirit to handle a Scorpio or someone with Mars in Scorpio in their chart. As you may know, my fiance' is a Scorpio, as I call him 'The Scorpion King' and he knows I will go the distance and be the holdout. You have to be the holdout with a Scorpio or they will getcha'. LOL! I always tell him, if a Scorpio wants to dance with me (in an argument), then I'll dance and raise the stakes because I know what it takes to handle a Scorpio. You cannot be a mouse with Scorpio energy or Mars in Scorpio. And if they are being mousey, IT'S NOT REAL FOLKS, there is no Scorpio who is a mouse. Okay! You better gain some guts if you are going to go into the ring with a Scorpio. For instance, I have Mars in Leo in my natal chart and Mars in Leo is the only placement that can beat Mars in Scorpio in the ring. Mars in Leo and Mars in Scorpio in the ring are like Rocky Balboa (Mars in Leo) and Apollo Creed (Mars in Scorpio), neither will go down easy. Winky wink.

So what do you do with this energy? Well you don't fight, race or compete with this energy unless you are in the game of fighting, racing or competing, then okay, roll it out and bring it on! Instead you use this energy to get yourself ahead and get yourself back on track. Notice from the Astro-Meme that this Scorpio energy has boxing gloves on and is prepared to get in there and do the work. Perhaps this Mars in Scorpio energy is transiting your 6th house of physical health and you will get your physical fitness back on track. Perhaps this Mars in Scorpio energy is transiting your 2nd house of personal finances and you are set on making more money and being more aggressive about it. You can channel this tough, aggressive and full of endurance and stamina placement in order to get the job done. But fight? Why do that because it does no Good. When the Scorpion King and I put our energies together, we can get more completed by 7:00 AM than most people do in a day. We can put anything together with nuts and bolts and screw drivers in record time. We channel our coupled energy appropriately.

This is a very powerful and forceful placement for Mars (as is Mars in Leo) and with both placements you should never hit anyone because you could actually kill someone in one punch. No kidding. That's how much energy is behind this Mars placement (and Leo). This is the placement that boxer's want.
