Mars in Capricorn (General)

When Mars (I Act) is in Capricorn (I Use) people are more driven to be successful in their careers. Capricorn is a cardinal sign which means that it thrives on action and needs to be doing something in order to be satisfied. Capricorn's element is also earth so people can take all that energy and drive and focus it on their long term goals. They are also able to make plans now to achieve their goals. It's important, however, that they don't get tunnel vision and get so focused on the goal that they fail to enjoy their present success. In addition to drive and ambition, Mars is also the planet of aggression and passion and in the sign of it's exaltation it is much more powerful. The transit of Mars through Capricorn can result in conflicts with your boss, mentor, or parents (especially your father or a father figure).

Example

Mars + Capricorn + 3rd House

I act + I use + conscious mind

With Mars in Capricorn and the third house you are driven to more actively use your conscious mind in ambitious ways. Your mid is more active and busy during this transit. You have something to say and you are driven to say it (even if other people don't want to hear what you have to say).  You need more mental stimulation now and if you don't have it you can easily get bored. Since the third house also rules short trips, it is possible that you may take more short trips than ususal during this transit.

Aspects

Aspects or relationships between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, let's say that Mars at 0° Capricorn is applying a trine to natal Mercury at 3° Virgo. A trine is type of aspect in which the energy of one planet is supportive of the urge of another planet. Usually it is the slower planet having an effect on the faster planet.

Let's break this aspect down, shall we?

Mars Trine Mercury

I Act supports I Think

Transit Mars trine Natal Mercury brings added energy to the mental faculties making this a good time to complete any work or tasks related to the mind such as studies, writing, reading and comprehension, answering emails, etc... This aspect grants you a quicker mind that takes decisive action. You can make plans now with confidence and easy knowing that they everything will go as planned. You can also be more persuasive with your words now, so you are more likely to stand up for any idea, issue, or cause that you believe in and back up your position with eloquence and passion.
