Mars: home turf
Drive becomes concentrated and direct during this stretch, making one stubborn task easier to break open. Today, define and finish its first step, then hold any confrontational message until later.
In detail
Mars: home turf is the dignity formed while transiting Mars occupies Aries or Scorpio, the signs it rules; it runs from ingress to egress, usually about 60 days at roughly half a degree per day, though retrograde motion may repeat it intermittently. Mars governs action, competition, and the removal of obstacles, and domicile lets that force initiate directly or pursue relentlessly. Mars: peak form emphasizes discipline and endurance; home turf is more immediate, instinctive, and autonomous.
