Mars in Sagittarius and Venus-Pluto in Capricorn
Mars has entered Sagittarius, and tomorrow joins Ketu, South Node of the Moon, in an aspect that somewhat tempers this ‘turnt up’ placement of the reddened ‘lesser malefic.’ The decrease which characterizes Ketu might be a material bane at times for many a planet that encounter it, but Mars transiting Jupiter’s diurnal home in Sagittarius, particularly its first decan, can sometimes use a dialing down. Here the martial quest, the ‘spiritual sojourn’ of the Archer, may find itself as concerned with gischt or essence as it is the physical plane for a bit of the week.
