Mars, the planet of gumption and drive, enters the zodiac sign of Aries on June 27. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars fights for what it wants and expects to win. The most ruthless planet in Astrology, Mars doesn’t care if your gain results in somebody else’s loss. Its job is to ensure that you come out on top. No planet looks after you like Mars will. It can be relentless and cruel, but there’s a heroic side as well – especially in Aries. Mars in Aries is all about rising to the challenge, fighting the good fight, and toppling the tyrants in power. It’s pretty straightforward except that Mars will be turning retrograde in Sept. This means you won’t always be clear as to who’s the bully and who’s the hero. Moreover rude awakenings in Sept. and Oct. will make you question your allegiances and whether or not you were following the right leader into combat. Expect more mayhem than meaning over the next six months, but when the dust settles in early Jan. you will know for certain if the prize was worth it or not.
