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 Sagittarius

Sagittarius is adventure, optimism and the search for meaning, ideally somewhere with a passport stamp. It says the honest thing and books the trip. At its best, Sagittarius makes life feel bigger and funnier than it was a minute ago. Watch for leaving before things get boring, or before they get real.

How long it lasts

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

Mars in Sagittarius, house by house

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

  1. If Sagittarius is in your 1st house · SelfIdentity, body, how you come acrossSagittarius makes you bold, sporty and cheerfully tactless. You arrive with a plan for adventure and a joke that lands a little too honestly. Put the trainers by the door.
  2. If Sagittarius is in your 2nd house · WorthMoney, values, securitySagittarius is generous with money and optimistic about it. You might chase a big idea or book the trip, so keep a little back for the less exciting bits after.
  3. If Sagittarius is in your 3rd house · VoiceCommunication, siblings, learning, neighbourhoodSagittarius makes you say it straight and a bit loudly. Enthusiasm carries a conversation, but a sibling may not need the full philosophy of life in the kitchen.
  4. If Sagittarius is in your 4th house · RootsHome, family, private lifeSagittarius makes home feel too small, and you might plan a move, a big project or a houseful of guests. Family debates get big and breezy, rarely small and spiteful.
  5. If Sagittarius is in your 5th house · DesireRomance, creativity, pleasure, childrenSagittarius flirts with a grin and a plan for the weekend. Romance wants fun and freedom, and creative projects thrive when you let them be a bit ambitious.
  6. If Sagittarius is in your 6th house · RitualWork, routines, health, habitsSagittarius finds routine dull until it has a purpose. Attach your habits to a goal, like a race or a trip, and the effort follows without needing a lecture.
  7. If Sagittarius is in your 7th house · BondsRelationships, partners, marriageSagittarius wants a partner who is also a travelling companion. Honesty is your gift and your hazard, so say the true thing with a bit of kindness packed alongside.
  8. If Sagittarius is in your 8th house · ShadowIntimacy, transformation, shared moneySagittarius meets deep, difficult subjects with optimism and a long view. Shared money gets a bold plan, but check the small print before you leap over it.
  9. If Sagittarius is in your 9th house · DistanceTravel, beliefs, higher learningSagittarius is on home turf here: the flight, the course, the big question. Your drive to explore is strong, and a debate leaves you energised rather than bruised.
  10. If Sagittarius is in your 10th house · CallingCareer, public image, ambitionSagittarius aims career energy at a larger vision. You pitch big, travel for work and aim high, then need someone to remind you of the detail.
  11. If Sagittarius is in your 11th house · CircleFriends, community, future goalsSagittarius makes you a cheerful recruiter for causes and weekends away. Friends catch your enthusiasm, though promises made on a high may need a sober second look.
  12. If Sagittarius is in your 12th house · DepthDreams, hidden patterns, solitudeSagittarius sends you looking for meaning in the quiet. A solo trip, a book of big ideas or an early morning run does more than a stern pep talk to yourself.
