Mars and Jupiter Exchange – The Courage to Follow Your Teachers

When planets exchange they share their energy, both as natural indicators and also as house rulers.

When Mars and Jupiter exchange with each other it’s very positive. It brings our fighting spirit and enthusiasm / courage into alignment with our higher teachings and what we know is right.

Too often in life we “talk the talk”, we preach about what we think we should do and other should do. When Mars exchanges with Jupiter we not only “talk the talk”, but “we walk the talk”.

When Mars is in Pisces and Jupiter is in Scorpio these issues revolve around mysticism and connecting with something beyond this earth. We can experience that “great beyond” in many ways, and some of them are not so healthy. Alcohol, escapism and drugs are ways to connect, chemically. But also movies and entertainments is a way to escape from the pain and pressure of this earth. But there is a more holistic possibility now.

Jupiter’s influence through Scorpio is to bring healing and grace into those emotionally dark corners of our psyche. This, combined with Mars, brings the emotional courage to transform and elevate our imagined fears into God’s grace and protection.

Mars and Jupiter Exchange – The Courage to Follow Your Teachers

All things not created equal.

Even though there is sharing between these two planets and their energies, the status of Mars to be disruptive and confrontational must not be completely overlooked. Mars does bring a quality of conflict and aggression into the equation. So, be careful arguing with your teachers or getting into confrontations with them.

This exchange will be better for those who are ruled by Mars or Jupiter, Ares, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Pisces people will experience this with a lot of strength and power. It’s a great time for your meditation practices and fulfilling all of your goals. Also, Cancer and Leo people will experience this with a lot of intelligence and courage, as Mars and Jupiter rule the Dharma planets for them.

The other signs of the zodiac may experience this with more stress. Especially for Mercury and Venus ruled people – Gemini, Virgo, Taurus and Libra might find some disruptions, challenges and confrontations in their career or with their partners, etc. Capricorn and Aquarius also may find this to be a little stressful, but not as much.
