Sept 22  - Mars enters Scorpio 

Sept 24  Mars square Pluto  (1 Aquarius 27)  

Nov 4 - Mars exits Scorpio 

 

Mars is always loaded for bear.   No matter the sign, Mars is ready to fight.    Mars, the warrior gets into it with Pluto, the spy (and assassin) every 6 to 18 months.  It is not an out of the ordinary aspect but still we are well advised to have this Mars square Pluto on our radar.   

 

Start watching the news on September 22 when Mars enters Scorpio.   Mars is very comfortable in Scorpio since it is his co-ruler.   Once Mars moves into Scorpio he will be there until November 4.   Mars in Scorpio can instinctually feel its way around and know when something needs fixing.  Mars might say, “Hmm maybe I should go to the dentist and get x-rays.”   Pluto, who is at the very beginning of its journey in Aquarius has not yet experienced a square by Mars in Scorpio and will respond, “Here’s your x-rays.  You need a root canal.”    Mars and Pluto are intense when they get together.  

 

Looking at the previous rounds of Mars and Pluto many of you will remember that a lot of astrologers (including myself) called out October 8, 2023, as potential war aspect.   There was a solar eclipse around that date which juiced up the combatant component.   Sadly, on October 7, Hammas terrorists attacked a music festival in Israel.   It was brutal and the response, that continues, is brutal.   It is possible there may be a revisit of brutality in that region or someplace else in the world around September 24.  It also is not limited to a region, because Pluto is in Aquarius the technology sign; cyberspace is a potential battleground.  

 

Additionally in the new moon chart, Mars is in a narrow but a stinger of an aspect (quincunx) to Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.   Will Mars and Pluto go hard and harsh and we see opportunities to fix and heal through the other planets? It certainly seems like the outer planets will have a response to Mars and his bully impulses.   

Between now and 2043 there will be eleven Mars Scorpio square Pluto Aquarius.    Will each one manifest the same way?  Of course not.     But themes will emerge and repeat that speak to:

Intense powerful passions

Society transformations

Actions

Technology

Corruption

Exposure

Ideologies 

Conflict, confrontational

Disruption

Anger 

Masses

As we head into this first Mars Pluto square between Scorpio and Aquarius,  Sept 22 – 24 is intense.    What is happening ‘out there’ will be felt ‘in there’.    Take care of yourself.  Feel what you feel.  Make any adjustment that are true to you and always remember you aren't alone there are groups (Aquarius) who understand you and transformation in your life is possible (Scorpio). It usually starts with a thought (Air sign) and a check in with your emotions (water sign).
