About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package. Mars brings heat to the house it passes through: more energy, more urgency and occasionally more friction. A good time to start things there, as long as you don't start rows.

About Capricorn

Capricorn is ambition, discipline and a dry sense of humour that sneaks up on you. It plays the long game and usually wins it. At its best, Capricorn is the steady hand everyone trusts when it matters. Watch for treating rest as something you have to earn.

How long it lasts

Around six to seven weeks in each sign, sometimes months when it turns retrograde.

Mars in Capricorn, house by house

Find which of your houses Capricorn is in, then read that one. If Capricorn spans two of your houses, read both.

  1. If Capricorn is in your 1st house · SelfIdentity, body, how you come acrossCapricorn makes your drive disciplined and strangely calm. You carry yourself like someone with a plan, which you probably have, and a little levity makes it look easier.
  2. If Capricorn is in your 2nd house · WorthMoney, values, securityCapricorn is Mars at its most dependable with money: a budget, a long-term goal and no appetite for gimmicks. Work hard, save steadily, and treat yourself on a schedule.
  3. If Capricorn is in your 3rd house · VoiceCommunication, siblings, learning, neighbourhoodCapricorn keeps your words short and serious. You say what matters and skip the chat, and a sibling or neighbour may take your efficiency for coolness.
  4. If Capricorn is in your 4th house · RootsHome, family, private lifeCapricorn puts structure into home life: the rota, the repair list, the sensible storage. Family responsibilities loom, so share the load before you quietly carry all of it.
  5. If Capricorn is in your 5th house · DesireRomance, creativity, pleasure, childrenCapricorn makes you a slow-burn flirt who plans the date. Creative work gets disciplined hours, and play needs to be scheduled or you will forget it exists.
  6. If Capricorn is in your 6th house · RitualWork, routines, health, habitsCapricorn is productivity incarnate: lists, deadlines and a rare calm while doing them. Build in a lunch break, or your body will schedule one for you.
  7. If Capricorn is in your 7th house · BondsRelationships, partners, marriageCapricorn takes commitment seriously and expects the same back. Show a partner affection as well as competence, and say what you need before it becomes a quiet list of grievances.
  8. If Capricorn is in your 8th house · ShadowIntimacy, transformation, shared moneyCapricorn tackles the heavy stuff, such as debts, wills and shared finances, with method and nerve. Feelings can wait their turn, but they do eventually want an appointment.
  9. If Capricorn is in your 9th house · DistanceTravel, beliefs, higher learningCapricorn approaches learning like a campaign: the qualification, the long route, the credible source. Your beliefs get tested against evidence, and travel comes with an itinerary and a purpose.
  10. If Capricorn is in your 10th house · CallingCareer, public image, ambitionCapricorn is Mars at its strongest for ambition: patient, strategic and ready to do the dull work well. Authority notices, so keep a little warmth in the mix.
  11. If Capricorn is in your 11th house · CircleFriends, community, future goalsCapricorn makes you the reliable organiser of the group, aiming at goals with a plan. Friendships deepen through shared effort, though you may forget to simply have fun.
  12. If Capricorn is in your 12th house · DepthDreams, hidden patterns, solitudeCapricorn gives your private effort a stern, steady shape. You work through old tension methodically, and some unstructured rest with no goal attached is part of the plan.
