Mars — the fiery red planet that rules sex, desire and drive — will begin an exotic dance in Sagittarius from 4 November until 15 December! During this period Mars joins Mercury in the constellation of this mutable fire sign which makes it a likely time to be full of excitement, energy, and the occasional blunt comment.
No longer are we chained to others or even to who we once thought we were. Mars in Sagittarius is about breaking free and exploring all of the hot, passionate and unique possibilities that life has to offer. Whether it's designed to make us work harder, or communicate better, it's all up to us.
What we've got here is a transit that literally governs determination and focus on what we put our focus on will be up to us, and if we are determined to accomplish or achieve — we will. Quite simply.
Each sign of the Zodiac will have their own version of Mars in Sagittarius, but the potential for positive outcome is almost a shoe-in.
This transit begs us to tap into our positivity reserves, because as we've always heard, and what we think about is what becomes our world. In other words, "I think, therefore I am."
How we perceive our world is the key to either being happy...or miserable. Mars in Sagittarius wants achievements, endings, completions and new beginnings…but most of it, this transit is here to let us know that it is we who decide what happens in our lifetime.
Mars in Sagittarius puts the power of positive thinking right into our own hands. This is a golden opportunity to bring forth our better selves and show the world that all hope is not lost. As altruistic and corny as that may seem, if we don't inspire others, who will? How does this transit affect your zodiac sign?
Let’s get rowdy. The stars are saying that it’s time to explore all of your sexual freedom. Sagittarius holds ties to long-distance travel and venturing into the unknown, which would be an excellent idea for couples and singles to dive into during this time. Those who are attached will find that the change of pace could reignite their connection. (Hello, sex marathons that make you feel like you’re in the honeymoon phase again!) Singles, meanwhile, will end up meeting people outside of their normal “type” who could open their minds about what life has to offer — as well as how sex can be different, too! With Sagittarius overseeing international relations and people from different backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles and places of origin, we will find that collectively we’re drawn to connect with people and experiences that open our vision.
Feeling adventurous? Oh, you will be! Expand your heart. Open your mind. Spice up your sex life. These are all key themes for Mars in Sagittarius.
While this all sounds like a ton of fun, Mars in Sagittarius is not a major time for commitment. In fact, if we feel like we’re being caged or controlled, we’ll end up erupting like a firecracker before carrying forward solo. That doesn’t mean relationships will suffer, but it does mean we must be more open-minded and supportive of our partners and what makes them feel free and unique.
Also, this can be a time when people are drawn to a bachelor lifestyle — I’m looking at you, singles! — and even fall into a gangbang line-up of hookups that never end. When it comes to sex and dating, try looking for experiences outside of your normal routine to add into your rituals, if taken. If single, try dating outside of your normal “type.”

No matter your sign, this upcoming Mars transit into Sagittarius will affect you. Here’s your horoscope detailing how you might be feeling when Mars enters Sagittarius in 2025.
Aries ♈
Mars-ruled and driven, this transit will have you boiling over with ideas, Aries. So, open your mind to the endless possibilities of new horizons! You will love this feeling of inspiration, as it will transcend all aspects of your life, personal and professional. But so many ideas may also make you feel overwhelmed. Indecision or poor planning may reign during this time. Practise patience and methodical choices, even when Sagittarius energy has you feeling more spontaneous! Some Aries will become very focused on an academic or media project during this time. Others will become very busy with travel, immigration or connecting with people far from you.
Taurus ♉
Union, trust and vulnerability could be very big themes for you in the weeks ahead, Taurus. You could be feeling all-or-nothing in regards to where you stand in a partnership. While you could become especially intense about your intimate, sensual or sexual needs, this could bring you the impetus to sit down and hash out where you are as a team and where you’d like to go. If there are frustrations beneath the surface, they could be aired out now.
Another way this will affect you is likely to increase your expenses, especially around big-money matters. Yet, if you are strategic, you could also amplify your wealth, especially around assets, investments, a settlement or an inheritance.
Gemini ♊
Teamwork, cooperation and partnership will be the key themes for you, Gemini. As a fellow mutable sign, you may feel compelled to embrace the spontaneous energy of Sagittarius. However, Mars is asking you to narrow down your vast interests and pursue something with purpose. Therefore, this could be an excellent period of time for accomplishing a lot with someone in business or love. While Mars in Sagittarius obviously favours committed Geminis more, seeing you very busy together, singles can also share in this energy by putting themselves out there to find someone who has long-term potential. However, if there has been tension bubbling beneath the seams with a partner, competitor or enemy, you may now watch as it erupts. Do your best to step up and handle it.
Cancer ♋
Prepare for an extremely busy period, Cancer! With a never-ending supply of projects and responsibilities suddenly being placed on your shoulders for work, it’s clear that you have a lot you want to achieve now and in 2025. All things come at the right time, and now, during Mars in Sagittarius, the right time is yours! It's as if you're possessed with vital energy. You need to act, you need to get involved in something.Your mood is incredible and infectious, and your chances of making friends and starting something new and miraculous are here for the taking.
Leo ♌
With Mars you will be given an opportunity to let your hair down and have a ton of fun, Leo. This is an excellent period for single Leos to put themselves out there and meet spicy and adventurous new suitors — one of the best periods within two years! Do not let this go to waste if you’d like to find someone who lights your heart on fire. While it may feel right to pursue any and all romantic possibilities during this time, take care that you aren’t neglecting the relationships you’ve worked so hard to build. Lastly, if you’re creative, prepare for a surge of artistic energy to inspire your mind, heart and soul.
Virgo ♍
Sometimes you wonder how many times you can get yourself all revved up and positive without watching it crash and burn, time and time again. Welcome to the club, Virgo. Nothing is easy here, but one thing is for sure; Mars in Sagittarius is here to help and if you can change your perspective to one of both acceptance and hope, you might be able to slide on into the new year with a fantastic and optimistic way of looking at things.
Libra ♎
You're finally at the place where you can easily name what you want, without confusion. In the past, it merely stayed as desire, but now, with Mars in Sagittarius, you're about to see those desires manifest, which also means be careful what you wish for, you just may get it! This is how this transit works. It's almost like magic. And it really plays on your sense of discretion. You can get what you want, now you just have to slim down your list of desires.
Get ready to broadcast an important message to the world, Libra. You will likely be very busy with a writing, speaking, advertising, marketing, social media or communications-related project in the weeks to come.
Scorpio ♏
You know very well the dedicated and ambitious energy of Mars, Scorpio. While this transit will occur right as your season ends, your power will feel rejuvenated as Mars compels you into new opportunities. These opportunities likely have to do with your day-to-day routine or domestic life. How can you bring your drive and devotion into these personal sectors? Mars entering Sagittarius may surprise you when it comes to your own capacity for spontaneity!
Wealth is more important than ever to you, Scorpio. Well, you're in luck, because all that hard work is paying off. However, with so much energy focused on your income, you could be spending money as quickly as you’re bringing it in! Use this time to assess your budget and know exactly where your money is going.
Sagittarius ♐
Have you ever felt more powerful, Sagittarius? With Mercury and Mars in your very own sign, your confidence and potential likely feel limitless. Prepare for a surge of strength, power and confidence to energise your life in the weeks to come. You’ll have more energy to tackle all of your most important goals, along with the charm, charisma and magnetism to enchant anyone you encounter. Now is the most important period within two years to set your goals and launch new endeavours, as you tackle them one by one. Use your unstoppable fuel to put all of the pieces into place for both your personal and professional endeavours.
Capricorn ♑
Mars in Sagittarius, will have you going on a deep dive into your own character. You have spent much time in the past wondering if your intuition is actually working; you've doubted your own self and that became a habit after a while.
Mars in Sagittarius re-routes that thinking and gives you a renewal on trusting your gut. You're smarter than you think, Sagittarius, and this transit brings you back what you've missed over the years: self belief and absolute trust in your own judgement. There is no subtext anymore. It's all up front. You know what to do in order to make your life the one you want to live. There may be sacrifices made, but sacrifice is the heart and soul of renewal.
Aquarius ♒
Ring the alarm and step into the centre of the ring, Aquarius! The energy given by this transit is enough to get the laziest of people up and on to their feet, and with the focus and drive that comes with it, you'll state, out loud, what you need in your life, and how to get yourself there. You know what's coming, Aquarius, and now you are ready to take the chance and have it.
Last to mention is that you will be especially focused on your greatest personal aspirations, too, likely finding that at least one of them is now within reach.
Pisces ♓
You may be feeling inspired by this transit, Pisces. With Mars entering mutable Sagittarius, now is the time to embrace your capacity for change. Sometimes you need a kick in the head to get you to finally wake up and take a look at what your life has become. If it's not what you want, then you are in luck. Mars in Sagittarius is the kick you need, and it's so strong that it will have you prioritising what's most important to you, while easily removing what isn't. Everything else is fluff, and you know it now. It's time for action; the days of complaining and doing nothing about it are over.
