Transit Mars Square Natal Descendant

Mars squaring the Descendant puts heat right where you meet the world: in the space between you and another. Desire, anger, and courage gather at the doorway of relationship, pushing for movement. This transit asks for clean assertion—naming what you want without making anyone the enemy.

This transit turns up the volume on the body’s yes and no. You may feel the jaw tighten, the back straighten, the impulse to interrupt or to finally call something by its real name. The Descendant is where we hold our hopes and irritations for the Other; with Mars here by square, the edge is alive. You might notice how easily you frame someone as an obstacle, or how a simple request unravels into an old argument. The deeper truth is that something in you wants to move—toward desire, toward honesty, toward air—and the closest mirror is another person.

Working with this heat means claiming your will without letting it burn the bridge you’re standing on. Ask yourself what you’re actually fighting for: respect, autonomy, clarity, closeness? Let the answer shape your tone. Clean conflict is possible—first-person language, concrete requests, boundaries stated without apology. If you can pause long enough to feel the sting beneath the spark, you’ll find the vulnerable need powering the fight. When that need is owned, the energy stops scattering into skirmishes and becomes a steady flame that warms instead of scorches.
