Transit of Mars in Scorpio

So, Mars is all set to make its next move in annual transits in the sign of Scorpio. Let's check what we can expect during this transit -

1. Mars will be in Scorpio sign from 25th Dec, 2019 to 8th Feb, 2020.

2. Mars will be in its own sign Scorpio, hence dignity-wise, it will be strong. But it doesn't mean that it will be a smooth sailing for Mars in Scorpio.

3. Scorpio is sign of instability, ups & downs and chaos. That's why it is not a good home for any planet because none wants to be in the state of panic and chaos. So, instability will be there but let's see how Mars can help us in Scorpio -

a. As Mars represents actions and efforts, our actions can go into dealing with instabilities and chaos related with things of the house where Scorpio falls in our chart. Like for a Gemini ascendant, they can be dealing with instabilities of their health and daily work life whereas a Sagittarius ascendant can deal with instabilities of their expenses and losses.

b. As Scorpio remains a sign of research and investigation, people can be research oriented and would be eager to know what is hidden from them. As Scorpio also represents past events, some truths can come-up from past and people can be in better position to comprehend things in a right way.

c. As Scorpio remains the sign of occult and mysticism, people can be very active in researching and understanding occult side of life. We can see a rise in people who are interested in occult and mystical knowledge. Basically, it can be said that people can be interested in any kind of research oriented knowledge.

d. So, instability and chaos of Scorpio will remain as is, there is no respite from it but as Mars is in own sign, it will provide will-power, courage and strength to deal with this unstable energy of Scorpio. We will show tenacity to go through that instability in life.

4. Now, there are some joint impacts also taking place with this transit. It is important to understand them also –

i. Rahu-Mars-Saturn all will aspect at Aquarius sign. As all of them are malefic planets, it shows some stress, frustration and suffering related with the house where Aquarius falls in your chart. Not very long ago, we had the same joint impact on Aquarius when Mars was in Cancer/Leo between July-Sep, 2019 and it was aspecting Aquarius sign where Rahu-Saturn are already aspecting throughout the year. So, events between July-Sep, 2019 can guide you about the kind of events you can expect now with this joint impact of Rahu-Mars-Saturn on Aquarius for next 45 days.

ii. At the same time, I still feel that axis of Sagittarius-Gemini will remain a focus of attention for all of us due to Stellium in Sagittarius and all planets in Sagittarius along with Mars aspecting Gemini sign. Coupled with coming eclipse season, it doesn’t show a very good picture. So, there can be huge stress on the axis of houses where Gemini-Sagittarius fall in a particular chart. Like, for me as Scorpio ascendant and Taurus Moon, this axis is 2nd house/8th house. So, I should be careful while driving/travelling.

So, this is what I see as result of Mars in Scorpio transit. End result is obviously dependent on overall chart, dasha and other transits.
