Sometime tonight for most of us, Mars makes its way into Capricorn. This raises some questions. As to what it may actually mean, that will largely be left to you, dear readers, as you answer the questions raised in the context of your own lives.

The first question hearkens back to when Mars ingressed Sagittarius way back in late October. It was nearly the halfway point between the Libra equinox and the Capricorn solstice which is now just a few weeks away. Venus was retrograde in Scorpio at that time, conjoined with the Sun and was (get this) after its long trip to Libra and back, within one degree of where Venus is today.
The asteroid Eros was conjoined with Mars for the transition and they remained partners for much of the Sagittarius adventure. Gradually the red planet pulled away and today Eros is within a degree of the Galactic Center point that the Moon crossed yesterday.
At that time your faithful correspondent suggested that Mars leaving behind a sign it ruled may have precipitated a shift in the balance of influence over the whole zodiac in favor of Jupiter. When one takes into account that the biggest planet rules Sagittarius, that it was (and still is) ensconced in Pisces — the other sign Jupiter dominates — along with Uranus, and that none of the other planets were in signs of their own domicile, one can at least lend credence to the assertion that Mars made Jupiter top dog at the time.
