Mars stirs Psyche like a match to tissue paper. The body wants to move, to reach, to claim—and with that motion comes exposure: the spot where you long to be seen is also where you fear being touched. Anger may flare as a guard dog for an old ache; desire may sharpen into tests and proofs. You might notice a compulsion to “do something” about feelings that used to stay underground. Heat rises around the places that matter most, and with it, a choice: protect the wound with armor, or protect it with presence.
Working with this transit is not about repressing heat, but giving it a worthy task. Courage can become a steady hand rather than a swinging sword. Let instinct name what is sacred, then move toward it with consent, breath, and pacing. Speak plainly, listen deeply, and let the body discharge excess fire through movement, craft, or honest conversation. When action serves tenderness, will and soul align; the charge that once defended a wound becomes devotion to its healing.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Chemistry intensifies, and conversations may cut to the quick. This can be a time to fight for closeness rather than victory—naming needs, negotiating boundaries, and letting anger reveal what you care about.
Work & Purpose
A surge of drive meets work that carries personal meaning, sharpening focus and conviction. Be mindful not to bulldoze; advocate for your values while allowing feedback to refine your aim.
Creativity & Expression
Art wants a pulse—raw, embodied, unguarded. Channel heat into form; let movement, voice, or image carry what words alone cannot safely hold.

Notice the protector at the threshold of your tenderness—the impulse to push, prove, or defend—and thank it before you choose your next move. If you slow the moment by one breath, the action that follows can be precise and kind, not just fast and loud.
Let desire tell the truth about your priorities. When you act from that truth without abandoning sensitivity, you discover a form of strength that doesn’t need to harden; it simply stands where it matters and keeps the flame.
My fire protects what is tender.
