Mars and Aries have an impulsive energy, so it’s easy to feel that we need to act quickly, often without thinking things through. We might find ourselves wanting to jump into relationships or to make assumptions without having all the facts. It’s crucial to take a step back and carefully consider our thoughts and feelings before making any big decisions. If we act too quickly, we could end up regretting our choices. It’s important to avoid being arrogant or stubborn during this time and instead try to approach situations with an open mind.
We should also put our swords away! Trying to resolve situations with kindness instead of aggression can resolve a lot. It is better to let people discover the truth on their own terms instead of arguing, because Mars in Aries tends to be defensive. Don’t lock horns with the ram, let them come to their own conclusions. They will see the truth when they’re ready. Until then, don’t poke the ram. This will allow its soft and protective side to come out when safeguarding the people they care about.
Since the transit of Mars in Aries is an extremely desirable time, it assures that our sexual prowess is at a high. Think of this as a moment when we want to enchant our lives with spring fever by getting a fling with whom we can have fun. Mars in Aries loves to chase what they want and will always be on the lookout for new conquests, so it's important to play the field and to keep one’s options open. If you are in a committed relationship, you can use this time to keep things interesting in the boudoir by spicing things up. Don’t hold back on expressing your carnal urges — let your fantasies and kinks be known. Personal satisfaction is essential now, so ensure you are being taken care of by your partner or yourself.
