A Note on Mars in Pisces
MARS ENTERED PISCES THIS MORNING AT 6:15 AM PST | In Effect Until April 9th, 11:36 AM PST
The Warrior just walked into the Ocean, Witch. Nothing will be the same.
Mars, planet of drive, desire, and raw will, has slipped beneath the waves and entered the dreamlike, liminal waters of Pisces. And he doesn't quite know what to do with himself here.
But... I will say:
That's exactly the point.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
Mars is a blade. Pisces is the deep. You cannot cut water.
In astrology, Mars in Pisces is considered in a state of confusion and dissolution, he is far from his domicile, far from his exaltation, operating in a realm governed by Jupiter (ancient/traditional ruler of Pisces) where boundaries blur, instincts dissolve, and the straight line between desire and action becomes a spiral staircase into the fog.
This doesn't make him weak. It makes him dangerous in a different way.
Mars in Pisces doesn't strike, he seeps. He doesn't charge, he infiltrates. The anger you couldn't name. The desire you couldn't justify. The action you kept almost taking. All of it lives just beneath the surface now, moving like a current you can feel but can't quite see.
From now until April 9th, this is the signature energy we are all swimming in.
WITCH WISDOM:
Water and iron have always had a complicated relationship. Iron repels spirits (yes the good and the bad at times), but submerged iron rusts. It transforms. It surrenders its hardness to the water's slow, patient will. (Which is great for War Water)
This is the magic of Mars in Pisces:
What you cannot force, you can now dissolve into.
This is the season for:
Dream work and sleep magic, Mars in Pisces charges the dream realm with vivid, urgent imagery. Write everything down.
Shadow/Therapy work, the anger, the grief, the desire you've been afraid to look at directly will rise now. Let it.
Ancestor and spirit communication, the veil between worlds thins when Mars blurs the edges
Sigil work done in water (drawn in water, on steamed mirrors, with rain etc...)
Magic for hidden enemies, spiritual protection, and psychic boundary-setting
Releasing what you have been fighting for that was never truly yours
Burn red and blue candles. Work near water. Trust the fog.
TAROT LENS:
The Tower + The Moon
Sit with that for a moment. Really sit with it.
The Tower (Mars) is lightning. It is the moment of rupture, the wall coming down, the truth you cannot un-know, the strike that rearranges everything in an instant. Mars is always The Tower's energy: sudden, piercing, impossible to ignore.
and then we have...
The Moon (Pisces) is the card of illusion, the unconscious, the path through the dark forest where nothing is as it seems. She is dreams, she is fear, she is the part of you that knows without knowing how it knows.
Now put them together and what do we have?:
The Tower striking inside The Moon.
This is lightning in the deep ocean. You may not see the flash, but you will feel the pressure wave. This transit does not destroy what is visible. It collapses what was hidden. Old fears. Buried rage. Grief that never had a name. Desires that lived only in dreams.
The Tower in The Moon asks: What have you been building in the dark that was never meant to last?
It will not announce itself when it falls. You'll simply wake up one morning, sometime before April 9th, and realize something in you has already shifted. The lightning+thunder already struck. You just didn't see-feel-hear it through the water.
Pull The Tower and The Moon together. Place them on your altar until Mars enters Aries. Watch what they reveal. Spend time in devotion and communication with them. Note what comes up for you.
APRIL 9TH | 11:36 AM PST — MARK THIS DATE:
When Mars finally crosses into Aries, his own sign, his home, his throne, he will emerge from the water reforged. Whatever dissolved in Pisces becomes fuel for the fire of Aries.
The warrior went under so he could come back changed.
What are you willing to let the water take from you before he rises?
YOUR INVITATION:
At any still moment today, go near water, a bowl, a sink, a puddle, a river. Look at your reflection. Ask aloud:
"What have I been too afraid to fight for? What have I been fighting for that I need to release?"
The water already knows the answer.
|| Note for all my Astrological Witches || Of course we take this information and know that to make it even more personal we look at what house it will be activating for us.
