Pro tips for the Mars in Aquarius transit
While Mars is in Aquarius (February 13 to March 22, 2024) here’s what to expect:
Socialize like it was your side hustle
Whenever Mars tours one of the three social, communicative air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), we feel a push to get out into the public and mingle with our fellow humans. Drop your agenda and stop worrying about “making connections.” When you mingle sans expectations, you could discover new dimensions to people who you’ve known for years.
Feeling especially intrigued by some folks? Mars in Aquarius lends courage to slide into their DMs and drop into group activities—even if you don’t know a single soul in the room. The only caveat being that social anxiety may spark up under Mars’s pulse-quickening influence. In Aquarius, there’s nothing more calming than four long, deep breaths.
Activate your activism
Calling all agents of change! Energizer Mars ditches its laptop case for a picket sign as it heads out of corporate Capricorn and into activist Aquarius for five weeks. This unifying cycle, which comes around every two years, makes us all even more passionate about human rights.
Sound idealistic? That’s how the Mars in Aquarius transit rolls! This unifying cosmic cycle can help people back on the same page—a lofty goal in recent years.
The trick? Focus on commonalities and shared goals while creating an inclusive space for everyone’s voice to be heard.

Love lines can blur during the Mars in Aquarius transit
The line between platonic and erotic could get blurry over the next five weeks as lusty Mars treks through Aquarius, the experimental sign of friendship and intellect.
It’s your call whether to “dabble” or not, but if you do, you may discover the farthest reaches of your personal edges. Minds will be wide open during this boundary-pushing transit, and three, four or five could be the magic number for some. Choose a safe word before you go play, and make sure everyone’s in alignment on what constitutes a “yea” or a “nay.”
Since Aquarius governs the digital domain, finding a love connection online might be a smarter approach than dipping into the friend pool, since you won’t risk losing an important relationship.
Attached? Burst out of the couple bubble! Autonomy makes the heart grow fonder during a Mars in Aquarius transit.

Where will Mars be in 2024?
Mars is also the last of the personal inner planets—the planets before Jupiter which are closest to the Sun. The red planet hangs out in a zodiac sign for approximately 6-8 weeks, directing the global temperament and fighting style. Lusty Mars is the forthright companion to seductive Venus and can bring out the “cosmic cave(wo)man” in us all. Our raw desire is on display during certain Mars cycles, while other zodiac signs provoke a more discreet style of pursuit.
