The mechanics
What's happening
Jupiter square your Mars
Jupiter expands whatever it touches: it enlarges, opens, over-promises and pays out. It brings opportunity, confidence and growth, and the risk of too much. Your Mars is your drive: how you want, act, fight, and go after what you need.
A square puts the transiting planet ninety degrees from your natal point: the two drives cross at right angles, and the friction forces a change. Squares are the transits that make things happen, usually through a problem. Here the transiting Jupiter makes a square to your natal Mars, so Jupiter's drive meets your Mars at that angle. Jupiter runs a twelve-year cycle, so this contact repeats every twelve years at the same angle.
The tell
What it feels like
- You push harder than the situation needs.
- Impatience and overconfidence start fights.
- The body overworks and the schedule overfills.

How long it lasts
Brace, or build?
Jupiter takes about a year per sign, so a transit to one point lasts a few weeks on a single pass, or up to nine months when the retrograde loop brings three passes. The felt window is roughly a month either side of each exact pass.

What to do with it
Somewhere to go
Aim before you fire. Put the surplus into training or a project with a deadline. The square becomes productive the moment it has a target.
