Today, Mars goes direct at 17° Cancer. After several months since December 6, 2024, when Mars began its retrograde motion at 6° Leo on the USA North Node, there have been significant challenges in both personal and professional lives. The direct movement of Mars suggests that over the next few weeks, life will become more organized, with some adjustments needed before it reaches 6° Leo where it began its retrograde in early December. Mars has also been out of bounds (beyond the bounds of the Sun – suggesting out of this world type changes), acting as an unpredictable factor in various circumstances. Everyone experienced this retrograde differently as it affected different houses in their personal horoscopes. Below is a summary of how each sign—or, if known, the Ascendant or Rising sign—may begin to see progress regarding the frustrations experienced in the past few months. It doesn’t happen right away but energy may feel renewed.
Aries: Mars goes direct in your fourth house of home, family, and property, leading you to address and act on matters in these areas. Unexpected financial requirements may arise for projects or living arrangements. You may initiate the process of moving or improving your budget to accomplish necessary tasks.
Taurus: Mars goes direct in your third house of communications, conversations, and travel. It is time to resume developing any classes or programs that were stalled. Your time away has provided insight into conveying information more effectively. School activities or related endeavors can now move forward.
Gemini: Mars goes direct in your second house of values, cash flow, and possessions. With Mars direct, organizing spending and budgeting becomes more manageable and continues to improve as Mars enters Leo in early May. Friends and community members are willing to assist, but you need to communicate your needs.
Cancer: Mars goes direct in your first house of health, identity, and self-expression. It is an ideal time to focus on how you wish to be perceived, possibly starting a new exercise program or health regime. Decisions on balancing career demands with maintaining a healthy lifestyle are crucial now.
Leo: Mars goes direct in your twelfth house of the unconscious mind, retreat, and spirituality. Retrograde Mars in this house may have disrupted sleep patterns, but its direct motion brings an opportunity for closure and release. Expect renewed energy as Mars starts new cycles over your Ascendant or Sun.
Virgo: Mars goes direct in your eleventh house of goals, community, and friendships. Consider reevaluating old goals and how they align with your current income streams. New opportunities may present themselves, offering a fresh perspective on achieving your objectives.
Libra: Mars goes direct in your tenth house of career and reputation. Reflect on what aspects of your career or responsibilities need improvement for better efficiency. Mars direct helps you address time-wasting activities and energy drains, moving towards achieving your next life goals. Involvement with a parents or superior’s care increases but with a clearer path.
Scorpio: Mars goes direct in your ninth house of beliefs, faith, and pending legal matters. As Mars moves direct, you are better prepared to make decisions aligned with your philosophy and belief systems. Long-distance travel or further studies may also come into consideration.
Sagittarius: Mars goes direct in your eighth house of estate planning, legacies, and deeper issues of trust and intimacy. Addressing emotional balance alongside visionary thoughts becomes important. Achieving harmony in emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial areas enhances your sense of freedom.
Capricorn: Mars goes direct in your seventh house of long-term partnerships, including business and marriage relationships. You may find yourself expressing your boundaries more clearly, ending outdated relations, and starting anew in your relationship dynamics.
Aquarius: Mars goes direct in your sixth house of health practices, daily routines, and organizational systems. It is time to address any inefficiencies in your office or personal health routines. Hiring assistance or upgrading systems can enhance productivity and overall well-being.
Pisces: Mars goes direct in your fifth house of children and creative projects. Whether considering having children, working with existing ones, or starting new creative ventures, Mars direct encourages you to allocate time and resources effectively to achieve meaningful outcomes regarding creative projects upon which you are taking risks. A new energy begins as Mars goes forward.
