The Mars Manhunt: Mars in Sagittarius

The planet Mars with illustrated constellation of the Sagittarius archer

The ancients understood Mars as the planet of war. As civilization rose, they came to see it as ruling masculine energy in times of peace. In contemporary times, to understand the role of Mars in the never-ending battle of the sexes is to know what a man is thinking and feeling, even before he knows. The things that motivate men shift with the position of Mars in the heavens. As the red planet moves through the zodiac, it interacts with everyone's birth sign. When this interaction is harmonious, it affects both men and women with desire and inspiration, but it really revs a man's engine. When there is tension in the heavens with your birth sign and Mars, though, love and passion can take a back seat to needed restructuring. Men at this time can be moody and lash out without thinking of the consequences. Knowing when to make your move with a man is greatly assisted by knowing the location of Mars and being aware of Mister Right's zodiac sign.

The zodiac sign of Sagittarius will be home to Mars from October 27 through December 7 (2010). Sagittarius is the zodiac sign of spontaneity and optimism. Given the chance to be free and roam in this upbeat area of the zodiac, Mars adds a little extra zest to every inspiration and action we take down here on earth. Men are especially pushed into being somewhat bolder, as Sagittarius has the wisdom about it to see what is important in life. Actions taken are not as risky as they might appear. Just because something is unexpected does not make it unreasonable. Look for a surprise or two coming from your man. If you are prepared, you might be the one to inspire some bold move on his part.

If you know the zodiac sign of the man you have in mind, read below to see if he is going to be inspired about love and passionate about partnering up. Your Mars Manhunt can either commence right away as Mars moves through Sagittarius, or it can be delayed until he works through some chaos and is better suited for you when the planet of masculinity visits a part of the zodiac that is more aligned with his sign making the most of love.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

You might not be ready to handle a Cancer man while Mars is in Sagittarius.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

His natural love of people should make him amenable to dating with a little nudge or two from you.
