Aries
March 21-April 19
Your personal stories may be especially powerful today. As assertive Mars moves into your 3rd House of Communication, you’ve got an extra push motivating you to say whatever’s on your mind. Though it might be tempting, there’s no need to squander this energy on picking fights. Explaining where your sensitivities come from has the potential to heal an unresolved dispute, so don’t be afraid to take the risk — you’ll ultimately be more comfortable with the burden off your chest.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
A shopping spree could be a risk at the moment. With bold Mars bursting into your 2nd House of Possessions, you may be eager to acquire anything that catches your fancy. You’re currently attuned to what would make your home look good, so that might be one of the better possibilities for spending if you can’t stop yourself. However, other forces might be motivating you. A purchase, no matter how exciting, can’t heal all wounds, so just be realistic about that.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Strength could be a surprisingly literal concern for you today. With physical Mars entering your sign today, you may find yourself especially grounded in your corporeal form. You might have the energy needed to get a strong start on a new exercise program — or the boldness to change your look in some way, like with a fresh haircut, piercing, or style choice. Make your body your own, and let that conscious choice inspire you to take better care of it.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Your secrets could take on a life of their own now. As energetic Mars enters your shadowy 12th house starting today, you may be surprised at what gets stirred up inside you. While it might be hard to know how to handle complicated feelings that you set aside long ago, try not to release your anger on the people around you. Authority figures currently in your life are perhaps different from those who hurt you in the past, so look honestly at what’s changed.
Leo
July 23-August 22
You can build the social network you’ve always wanted now. As confident Mars begins a tour of your 11th House of Community, you might as well introduce yourself to friends of friends and random strangers who inspire your curiosity. You’re likely to present yourself in a charming way, so there’s no need to worry about coming across awkwardly. What could warrant correction is some of your expectations about relationships, so be open to constructive change on that front.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
The alliances you make behind the scenes can propel you toward your goals now. With ambitious Mars entering your 10th House of Career today, onlookers are likely to notice your achievements. That said, being careful to give credit where it’s due could help you get the most out of this opportunity to decisively push forward. While some of your allies might prefer to keep a low profile for their own reasons, give them as much appreciation as they’re comfortable with to strengthen your bond.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Knowing what you believe can help you find your people now. As bombastic Mars enters your philosophical 9th house today, you may lack patience for anyone who doesn’t see significant issues the same way you do. Drawing a hard line might not be your usual style, but there’s a bright side. Although you could become distant from those who don’t agree with you, others who admire your take are likely to gravitate your way. Think of what you’ll receive, not just what you could lose.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
Your investigative instincts could kick into high gear today. Mars, your sign’s indomitable ruling planet, is entering your intense 8th house, goading you to get to the bottom of every mystery that grabs your curiosity. To minimize the risk of trouble, you’re better off going into a fact-finding mission with a clear sense of what you hope to achieve from it. Just digging for the sake of digging has the potential to spiral out of control, so don’t work any harder than you need to.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Your close relationships could be intense at the moment. As demanding Mars enters your 7th House of Others starting today, you might feel like the people in your life are pushing you in a direction you don’t want to go. They may simply want forward movement, so the best antidote to any pressure you experience is having a clear idea of what you’d prefer as an alternative. When you can present a competing view, remember it’s possible to negotiate a compromise that works for everyone.

December 22-January 19
Taking care of business and working overtime may be hard to resist. With driven Mars entering your productive 6th house today, you can get a lot done if you put in the effort, and you probably will. There’s no shame in accepting any offers of help you receive, though. Collaborating closely with someone you trust could strengthen your relationship and bring more satisfying results than you’d achieve on your own, so stay open to all the possibilities, and don’t dismiss chances for assistance.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
You’re playing to win at the moment. As aggressive Mars enters your 5th House of Fun and Games today, you might even declare a contest in a situation that usually isn’t considered competitive. While this could be really entertaining in the context of a close relationship where both parties are fully in on the joke, choose your audience carefully. Some of the people around you may not be in the mood for it, so back down if you’re bothering them.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Getting your home just how you want it may take some effort now. Practical Mars enters your domestic 4th house today, giving you the energy to move stuff around if necessary. It’s probably not entirely an issue of heavy lifting, though. Attention to beauty in the smaller things could also make a significant difference in your experience, and it might be less expensive than other possibilities you’re considering. Use your powers of perception to identify what most needs fixing rather than buying new.
