Mars in Aquarius (General) 

When Mars (I Act) is in Aquarius (I Rebel) people are no longer satisfied to sit idly by and wait for things to happen, but rather they are driven to do something to bring about change. They can be impulsive, original, independent, erratic, and unconventional in many regards. In Aquarius, Mars brings people together to fight. The good news is that they tend to hold a more optimistic view of the future and apply their surplus of energy to humanitarian causes because they know that there is strength in numbers and no one person alone can successfully address the issue or matter at hand. 

The house where Aquarius is in in your Natal Chart is the area of life in which you will be drive to rebel against.

Example 

Mars + Aquarius + 4th House 

I Act + I Rebel + Home, Family, Tradition 

When Mars is in Aquarius and the 4th house you are driven to rebel against tradition. You could make some impulsive decisions that cause a rift with your family (if Mars is badly aspected, there could be violence). It is important now that you make absolutely sure of your choice before you give a voice to them and share your decision with those close to you.  This is a good time to apply your excess energy towards home improvement projects, however, you should pay careful attention to what you are doing as accidents in the home could also occur. 

Aspects in the Transit Chart 

If you look at the transit chart above, you will notice that Mars making two important and powerful aspect. They are Mars conjunct Saturn and Mars Square Uranus. Let's take a closer look at them. 

Mars Conjunct Saturn 

I act blends with I achieve -  Mars is aggressive, combative, and impatient and this blends with Saturn's ambition and discipline. Whereas Mars is driven to act and act now, Saturn warns us of our limitations. Saturn wants us to slow down, to use caution, and exercise self control.  The challenge then become to reign one's self in and apply our energy in a practical and stable manner towards bringing order to the world. 

Mars Square Uranus

I Act challenges I Rebel- Again, Mars is aggressive, combative and impatient. Mars wants to act and act now! Uranus is restless, innovative, and unpredictable. In this instance, Mars' urge to act is at odds with Uranus' urge to rebel giving strength to the desire to break free and revolt against authority. You don't want to feel boxes in by anyone's rules, regulations, or expectations. This can lead to impulsive actions that you might later regret.  The goal here is to learn to express your originality and individuality in a healthy manner. 

Aspects to Natal 

To personalize your astrological reading, you should also look to any aspects between Mars and planets in your Natal Chart. Let us suppose then that you have Jupiter in 2° Aquarius. Then it would be said that Transit Mars is applying a conjunction to your Natal Jupiter. 

Mars Conjunct Jupiter 

I Act blends with I Expand - Mars gives you drive, energy, and passion. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, optimism, and growth. When Mars makes a conjunction to Jupiter you're more optimistic and have more energy, more confidence, and more initiative. You may find that you have more physical strength now, as well as more sexual energy and charisma. It is possible that you could find that it is easier for you now to attract a lover due to your increased sexual attractiveness and virility. 

Ruler of the House 

The Ruler of the House is another aspect of astrological interpretation that should be considered. Mars rules Aries and so the house that Aries occupies in your Natal Chart will influence the ingress of Mars into Aquarius. There are two questions that you need to ask yourself. 

1. What house does Aries (Ruled by Mars) in my Natal Chart?
2. What house does Aquarius (Mars in Aquarius) occupy in my Natal Chart?

Let us suppose that Aries is in your 6th house and Aquarius is in your 4th. Therefore, the ruler of your 6th house is in the 4th House. This could be interpreted as "daily habits, routines, and health serve family ties, culture, and a tradition." 

We can then expand on this statement and say that "having a routine helps your household run more smoothly. Issues at work can affect your home and family life now. Your ability to keep and hold down a job affects your sense of security."

How will the ingress of Mars into Aquarius manifest for you?
