Mars and Aries have an impulsive energy, so it’s easy to feel that we need to act quickly, often without thinking things through. We might find ourselves wanting to jump into relationships or to make assumptions without having all the facts. It’s crucial to take a step back and carefully consider our thoughts and feelings before making any big decisions. If we act too quickly, we could end up regretting our choices. It’s important to avoid being arrogant or stubborn during this time and instead try to approach situations with an open mind.
We should also put our swords away! Trying to resolve situations with kindness instead of aggression can resolve a lot. It is better to let people discover the truth on their own terms instead of arguing, because Mars in Aries tends to be defensive. Don’t lock horns with the ram, let them come to their own conclusions. They will see the truth when they’re ready. Until then, don’t poke the ram. This will allow its soft and protective side to come out when safeguarding the people they care about.
