Hi everyone!

I am currently going through my Mars return in my 5th house.

I know that things should not be taken out of context, i.e. the other aspects that Mars makes in my chart. However I was wondering how to use that extra energy in my life.

Thanks!

Having fun or being highly creative. Look at Mars aspects for more information on life's areas that could use this extra energy you have.

Elianah: in general a Mars returns tends to indicate (but look at the house and sign it's in) an influence on whatever sign/house by bringing you the courage to go forward in these areas; a time to assert your desires, your own agenda (Mars is me me me). Mars' returns are about every 22-24 months. The house/sign will give you an indication of where to focus your will, energy and give you more information as to what area of life to focus your energy/creativity on, where you can become a "warrior". Mars also undergoes retrograde periods which can correspond with it's return to its natal position and represent important cycles in the development of your natal Martian potentialities, assuming you know what area to concentrate these on.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks Radu and Baker.

The Mars return is in my 5th house and my natal Taurus Mars is part of a t-square that includes my 8th house Leo Sun-Pallas-Uranus stellium and my 11th house Libra Jupiter-North Node-Scorpio Neptune stellium. My t-square has been made into a grand cross by my Solar Arc Moon-Saturn in Aquarius.

I think transiting Mars is wanting me to free the knowledge-experience-skills base I have so I can creatively move the energy out towards my NN.

I recently went through my Mars return when Mars was in Pisces (my career house) and during that time I stepped forward and voiced my views about some things at work, things that needed to be reviewed/changed/removed/etc.....my voice was heard, changes were made which brought about much improvement for myself, my boss and the team as a whole. I noticed a pattern that when I have a Mars return, there is usually a shift in my career/job....a very positive one. :D

My Mars return is in my 5th house. I am looking at that as being very creative, depending upon what that ole transiting Saturn brings through. My natal Mars is part of a t-square where it opposes my Jupiter/NN in Libra and Neptune in Scorpio stellium in the 11th and squares my natal Sun in Leo in the 8th. Transiting Saturn is today fully conjunct my Sun.

The interview I had last week did not go as well as I hoped and I did not get called back as one of the two finalists. I don't know whether that was transiting Saturn just telling me to hold on and wait for something better for it really truly is coming or if the trickster Merc Rx was having some laughs on my account. Hopefully when it goes direct, it and Uranus will bring something unexpected but useful into my life (Merc Rx is sitting in the midst of my Sun-Pallas-Uranus stellium. Uranus can fall in the 8th or 9th, depending on the house system used).

I know it is hard for me to see the "light at the end of the tunnel" sometimes with my t-square. I am still in the process of learning how to constructively use this dynamic energy and with transiting Mars, Saturn, Merc Rx and Uranus (which is directly inconjunct to Merc Rx right now), I know this is the time to do it—I just need to figure out how to use all of it in the most productive way.

BTW, the light happens to be the stellium in the 8th. :D :D I just have a tendency to forget that sometimes.
