Mars aspects are "in effect" for about 3 - 4 weeks after the aspect forms. In real life, however, you may deal with their concerns -- or see events that correlate with their energy show up even a few days beyond that. Sometimes you need even more distance to appreciate what happened -- what changed. Getting sufficient perspective sometimes takes a while. Keep that in mind as you work with this forecast.


Mars in Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a time of expansion, growth and learning. It is associated with opening up new levels of learning, understanding foreign concepts and customs, incorporating these into a working social model and organizing the collective wisdom into a body of knowledge that can be taught, understood and advanced.
In mundane matters, Sagittarius is concerned with teaching-and-learning, law and religion, publishing, expansion and travel. It looks at life from The Big Picture and sees how existing knowledge can expand to produce a more eclectic, educated, tolerant and prosperous world.
With Mars' arrival here ... in the Zodiac's 9th Sign, these are the issues onstage for the next month in matters that involve action, initiative, self-assertion, self-defense, sexuality ... and generally "getting things done." Mars is concerned with all things that require pure physical energy. Learn more about Sagittarius here: ---> Sagittarius
