Fortunately, Capricorn\u2019s totem&mdash;the goat&mdash;has made this climb many a time. And <b>Mars is uncharacteristically patient and strategic in Capricorn<\/b>. He might even know a shortcut or two. Capricorn happens to be the sign where Mars is exalted. Here, Mars gives his most valiant effort and achieves a great deal.<\/p>\n<p>As ruler of both Aries and Scorpio, Mars\u2019 energy can veer towards bravado and even aggression when he transits his home signs. No wonder; he\u2019s calling all the shots when he\u2019s there. In a complete reversal of fortune, Mars is weak in Taurus and Libra&mdash;ruled by his cosmic lover Venus. Here he tends to mask his feelings of ineffectuality by over-reaching and overdoing. Yet, similar to Goldilocks\u2019 search for <em>just right<\/em>, <b>Mars gets it right on in Capricorn<\/b>. Not overly confidant (too big), not low in confidence (too small) &#8230; but just right.<\/p>\n<p>Logically, this makes sense: just as Capricorn operates with a take-charge attitude (being a cardinal sign), so does Mars. And, just as Capricorn is concerned with achieving status and importance, so is Mars. <b>Talk about a match made in heaven.<\/b> And Capricorn\u2019s earthy energy is a natural magnet for Mars to give expression to his sexual desires. We\u2019re talking sultry and sensuous. And one more thing: as excitable as Mars can be when he\u2019s whipped into a sexual frenzy, he\u2019s in no rush to get to that climactic ending in <em>slow and steady wins the race<\/em> Capricorn. That\u2019s a boon for lovers everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><div\nstyle=\"float:left;margin-right:10px\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-1123809225180052\";\n\/* rectangle in post *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"6756871618\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;<\/script> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Still, <b>sex isn\u2019t the only thing Mars is into<\/b>. As a planetary protector and action figure, he\u2019s compelled to provide for his loved ones. Enter Mars\u2019 ambition&mdash;and, in Capricorn, Mars has a tangible goal to achieve. After all, he has just emerged from the fire of Sagittarius&mdash;sign of the archer&mdash;where he would have set a lofty goal. In Capricorn&mdash;a sign closely aligned with physical manifestation&mdash;it\u2019s time to take that goal from Sagittarius\u2019 idealistic flames and bring it into down-to-earth reality.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in describing Mars\u2019 behavior, we\u2019re really identifying potential ways that his energy gets channeled through human activity. In practical terms, Mars\u2019 transit through Capricorn opens up a time-frame whereby you can be enormously productive. It\u2019s also a time to step into and fully own your leadership skills. Everyone has at least one thing that they do really well. We count on each other\u2019s strengths in order to exchange services all the time. <b>Mars\u2019 sure-footed trek through Capricorn is a clarion call for you to step up and show us the way you do your best thing.<\/b> If you\u2019ve got a mission, get to it step-by-step, day-by-day while Mars is operating at peak energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mars gives his most valiant effort and achieves a great deal in the sign in which he is exalted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/?p=46686\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[],"tags":[980],"class_list":["post-46686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-mars"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pekXVE-c90","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/75"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46686\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
