Transits to Mars and the Evolution of the Vital Self

Jupiter transits to Mars

These particular transits have an energizing and reviving effect on physical energy. As is typical of a Jupiter transit, there is usually an excess or abundance of something, and in this case, life force and vitality. This is a particularly well-suited time to begin any exercise routine, or to rejuvenate one that is lacking proper motivation and stamina.

During Jupiter transits to Mars, we identify with the archetype of a spirited, inner warrior. Obviously, few of us actually have access to competing on battlefields, but there are certainly playing fields suitable to this type of energy. In fact, one could say that Jupiter transits to Mars is closely associated with the "weekend warrior" phenomenon, in which extreme physical activity is saved for the narrow time between work weeks.

The difficulty with this transiting influence is that there is a tendency to take on too much physical activity. Often there is an overestimation of one's physical capabilities. That is, we can be quite sedentary until this transit strikes, and we feel inspired to do an activity that requires a considerable amount of physical discipline, stamina, and endurance. It is only when undertaking these ambitions do we realize that the inspired vision of physical conquest does not translate into reality. No one wants to climb up an Everest only to quit halfway up the hill. Thus, it is good practice to moderate the ambitions and visions that may come up at this time. If you yearn to climb the highest peak in the land, make sure that you have the strength and staying power to actually accomplish your task.

Saturn transits to Mars

A sense of depletion and loss of libido is a typical course when Saturn makes a major aspect to Mars by transit. At these times, the energy centers associated with the body become more restrained, and physical activity can feel like drudgery. If one is in an exercise routine during a Saturn transit to Mars, it is very easy to indulge the voice of giving up, simply because there is very little in terms of results that happen at this time. In fact, these transits can actually enervate the musculature of a person, making weight training a very daunting task.

When physical energy is reaching a low point, it is easy to indulge a sense of futility when it comes to anything demanding exertion. If the reserves of energy are low, than why attempt anything at all? A more appropriate response of Saturn's lowering of physical vitality is to become more efficient, more focused, and more ambitious about the physical fuel that is available at this time. In other words, as Saturn may strip away a natural flow of physical energy, there can be an ambitious and determined response of utilizing the energy that is available. At this time, one becomes more conscious of the aging process, and that to really achieve something in terms of the body, then time is of the essence.

The positive side, when the influence subsides, one is left with a more disciplined and determined approach to one's body. Thus, the challenging and limiting effects of the Saturn influence actually can reap significant rewards over time. Indeed, many astrologers utilize the analogy of Saturn as being like a personal trainer that demands ever-increasing resistance. A proper reaction to the influence is to push against the resistance so that development and growth can occur.
