Transit of Mars in Aries, 2024

Mars will enter in Aries sign on 1st June, 2024. It will stay there till 12th July, 2024. In many ways, this transit of Mars is different from normal 45 days of transits. Let's see the complexities involved during this transit of Mars -

1. As I said, Mars will enter in own sign Aries on 1st June, 2024. Mars represents our actions, efforts, aggression and courage etc. Aries represents almost same things. As Mars is in own sign, it should be considered as a very good transit to be assertive and active in life, especially in the area of life which is represented by the house where Aries falls in our chart.
 

2. As I said, Mars & Aries represent almost similar things like, our actions, efforts, aggression and courage etc. So, when Mars is in Aries, we can be very active & action-driven in our overall life. We can be very active in matters related with houses ruled by Mars in our chart through its signs Aries & Scorpio and the house where it transits in our chart in Aries sign.

3. As Mars is in good dignity, it will give people idea of right action to be taken during this transit but eventual action depends on the free will of person. Person can be active, ambitious and go-getter too or he can be aggressive, violent and destructive too. This is where the maturity of person will become relevant in final results.

4. But there is something more important happening here. This transit of Mars can give us glimpses of what we can expect in next 12 months. It is because lots of energy is getting accumulated in the sign of Scorpio from now onwards and Scorpio sign will take the driver’s seat in our lives for next 12 months. As Scorpio is sign of major changes and instabilities in life, we can see some major changes in next 12 months in the area of life where Scorpio falls in your chart and Mars transit in Aries can be prelude to that as Mars’s 8th aspect is going on Scorpio.

5. As discussed earlier, there is a huge energy accumulation in Scorpio sign right now - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/EnergyAccumulationinTaurusScorpioAxis with Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury and Venus all aspecting Scorpio sign from their respective positions in transits. Now, Mars also joins this bandwagon as Mars’s 8th aspect will be on Scorpio. This is a huge energy accumulation in Scorpio sign and indicates at least the beginning of major changes in life which can take place in 12 months down the line.

6. Although Sun, Mercury and Venus will change signs very quickly but Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are going to impact Scorpio sign for some time. Mars will aspect Scorpio from Aries and Taurus both; i.e. for 90 days, and then it will be retrograde in Gemini/Cancer for next 9 months. It means that Mars in Aries/Taurus transit will indicate to us as to what changes we need to bring in our life and especially with the matters of the house where Scorpio falls in our chart and if we don’t pay attention then Mars in Gemini/Cancer transit can bring situations which can push us towards paying attention and working towards those changes in life.

7. So, Mars in Aries transit can give first glimpses of those indications. As it is 8th aspect of Mars on Scorpio, it again carries the 8th house energy of instability. It shows this transit and all other planets impacting Scorpio can bring sudden changes in the area of life where Scorpio falls in chart. Needless to say that if planets are there in Scorpio sign in birth chart then changes can be related with those planets too. So, it will be a good time to be completely aware of changes which are indicated by this transit and work on them ASAP rather than getting into situations where we may have to take urgent actions when Mars goes retrograde later in the year. As 8th aspect also shows determination, person should remain determined and courageous to deal/face those changes and make things better in life.

8. Mars-Rahu both will aspect Cancer sign. This can make people emotionally triggered as Cancer is sign of emotions and Mars-Rahu energy together create Angarak Yoga or Fiery Combination. So, people can get emotionally fired up during this transit. Person can be fired up in matters related with house where Cancer falls in chart.

9. Saturn will also aspect Mars in Aries. As Mars wants everything quick and Saturn puts delays, this can be frustrating time for the matters related to the house where Aries sign falls in chart. Saturn-Mars joint impact can create lots of frustration and stress in that area. If Mars is transiting through Dushthana, Maraka or 4th house then person should be more careful about health matters.

10. Mars 7th aspect will be on Libra sign which is aspect of domination and control. So, person can be seen dominating and controlling in the area of life represented by the house where Libra falls in chart. As Libra itself is sign of relation, agreement and peace etc. this trait of dominance and control should be avoided and we should take the traits of protectiveness and safeguarding from Mars.

Final event is always based on Chart + Dasha + Transit.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
