The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (November 1)

Mars is at one degree of Scorpio now and will transit the Fixed Water Sign it is the ancient ruler of until December 14.  Mars is very powerful in Scorpio. We are ambitious and driven as we strive toward our deepest desires.  We can be obsessive during this transit, for better or for worse.   We dive into  mysteries and are fascinated with the forbidden. Certainly this placement is great for research and investigation.  We seek intense experience and can be drawn to drama when Mars is in Scorpio. This is a highly transformative aspect, though transformation may be achieved via crisis.  There is a strength available that can helps us confront difficult situations, but we have to be careful as it can be hard to rein in extreme feelings and opinions.  As Scorpio is a Fixed Sign we can be flexibility challenged now.  The need to control can be strong and this can create problems in relationships and workplace dynamics.   We may be less willing to receive input and insight from others now.   Use the power of this Mars transit wisely in your life.
