MARS TRANSITS ARIES-( JUNE 1 – JULY 12)

Mars enters into its own sign of Aries on the 1st of June and stays here till the 12th of July. This would give us the guts to gather our resources, complete our current tasks and embark on new projects. Earlier in Pisces, Mars created confusion and chaos around for quite some time. Now its position in Aries just empowers us.

Mars is a fiery planet and it being in the fire sign of Aries is highly combustion, hence be cautious. And Mars in Aries would be aspected by Saturn as well. This would stifle the fire to a certain extent. From Aries, Mars stands to aspect the signs of Cancer, Libra and Scorpio by its 4th, 7th and 8th house aspects respectively.
