Mars in Sagittarius October 28 - December 7, 2010

Sagittarius represents all that within us is seeking a way to overcome limitations, who longs for greener pastures and a more adventurous, meaningful existence. When Mars transits this sign, every two years or so, his raw energy works to widen one’s field of action, making one more aware and alive to opportunities fate presents, producing enough enthusiasm and optimism to perceive obstacles as stepping stones on the way to success and accomplishment. Eternally hopeful, because guided by an inner vision of positive future developments (Sagittarius), Mars moves forwards instinctively, unencumbered by self imposed limitations and fears.

During Mars' transit in Sagittarius, we're reminded to have a bit of faith, be a little braver and take a chance. What's important to remember is that whatever actions we take must also have our complete and utter commitment to see through to the end. This way, we aren't just acting on impulse or making decisions without forethought. This is also a great way to put ourselves and our goals in an ideal position for when Mars leaves Sagittarius in December to transit Capricorn, where our work can reap rewards or be more solidified.
