So, you’ve probably been feeling a little scattered, restless and/or unsettled these past few weeks. Well, all that’s about to be a thing of the past. On Mon. Jan. 24, Mars the planet of action and energy enters stoic and stable earth sign Capricorn, where it will remain until Mar. 6.
I don’t know about you, but I could do with some stability in my life, which is exactly what 2022 Mars in Capricorn brings. That, as well as focus, organization, endurance and a desire for achievement. Oh, and let’s not forget about the added benefits of increased pragmatism, productivity and persistence towards our goals.
That’s right, Mars in Capricorn brings all of those things and more. Why? Because in Capricorn, Mars is exalted, which means all of its best qualities — energy, determination, stamina, goal-setting — get even better and the planet can express its energies more potently.
During Mars in Capricorn, we have more sustained energy and stamina, higher ambition and an unwavering desire to accomplish great things (Don’t believe me? Just ask Lady Gaga, who has her natal Mars in Capricorn).
Unlike Mars in Sagittarius, which can send us toward many desires in different directions, Mars in Capricorn is focused and intent on working towards long-term goals step-by-step. This is because Capricorn is an earth sign, and earth signs are nothing if not pragmatic and productive. And Capricorn is the most pragmatic and productive earth sign of them all, aiming to achieve goals the good old fashioned way: through hard work and enterprise.
Of course, how hard you’ll want to work and what you’ll be working toward depends entirely on your Sun and Rising sign. So, without further ado:
