The Mars Manhunt: Mars in Scorpio

The planet Mars with an illustration of Scorpio's scorpion

The planet that rules the behavior of men is making a big move in the zodiac and you want to be prepared to know when to pounce. While Mars ordinarily stays in a zodiac sign for a few weeks, knowing whether a man is in the mood during that time is knowledge that can affect a long-term relationship. Get him when Mars is inspiring his inner conquistador and you will have captured him thinking he captured you. If Mars is creating tension or distraction, waiting your turn for the little red planet to move on will allow you to make your move at another time when he will be more receptive. This explains why any man is so approachable and pleasant during one meeting and may seem like a beast a few weeks later. It is not that he is two-faced; it is just that he, like all men, are under the influence of Mars and its location in the zodiac.

Mars moves into zodiac Scorpio on September 14 and will be there until October 28. In that period of time, look for natural machismo to triumph. Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio and excels when it visits this sign. Scorpio is the zodiac sign of deep and complete transformations. A few weeks of any planetary activity in Scorpio can alter the life path of a sensitive individual. Decisions you make at this time have a permanence that you might not immediately realize. Often we take action and can go back and pick up the pieces when things do not go our way. Not so with things we do during the Mars visit to Scorpio.

When you make a move on a man while Mars is in Scorpio, plan on making it for good, as Scorpio energy is like cement – it tends to make changes permanent. Read for the sign of the man you have in mind and make your move or wait Mars out and try again in November …

Aries March 21 – April 19

Mars also rules the sign of the Ram, so this guy will be especially in the mood to be his masculine best. Drag yourself to his sporting events, his drag races, his rodeos or whatever else confirms his manhood. Be the feminine counterpart to all he holds dear and win him over with balance and love.

Remember that men are not necessarily socialized to be chivalrous and gentle these days and Mars in Scorpio has a rough-hewn edge to it. Men will be loyal and loving, sensitive and passionate, but they will also be quick to express anger and always fighting to get what is theirs. Get out of his way if he is looking for a confrontation; be there for him when he has left one behind.
