As the planet Mars, motors through its favourite sign of Aries at present, it draws to our attention the meaning of Mars in our birth charts.

Mars is our warrior planet, is assertive, strong and has a vested interest in getting us what we want and helping us to get our needs met.

Mars carries with it a sense of immediacy, typically speaking Mars is not interested in considering, waiting, it is brave, dynamic and forward looking.

Indeed, Mars tends to work on the principal of 'Give me patience and I want it now'!

Planet Mars has a cycle of around two years and it's interesting to note that the first completion of a cycle of Mars, tends to co-incide with the onset of what is known as the 'Terrible Two's!

This is a time in our development, that our toddler self begins to assert its independence, begins to make it wishes known and is not averse to throwing a temper tantrum when those needs aren't met!

So to take this one step further, we can suppose that somewhere in our birth chart, the position of Mars is found and somewhere in our birth chart resides our inner toddler.!

It will be here that we act out the terrible twos and sometimes, as Mars transits our chart - we'll want to behave like one!
