So, everyone’s yapping about Mars in Sagittarius, right? Like it’s some magic spell. Well, I’ve been around the block a few times, and I decided to actually pay attention to this stuff, see what it’s really about, not just what the books say. My own little experiment, you could say.
First thing I noticed? Man, the itch to just go. Not just go anywhere, but to go BIG. Like, suddenly my apartment felt like a shoebox, and my daily routine? A prison sentence. I’m not usually like that, I like my comforts, you know? But this energy, it just grabbed me by the scruff of the neck. I found myself actually wanting to get up and do things, which, let me tell you, isn’t always my default setting.
I started noticing it in little things, started tracking how it played out.
- Suddenly wanted to debate everyone about, well, everything. Like, I had the TRUTH, and they needed to hear it. Real charming, I tell ya. I’d jump into conversations, sometimes without even thinking.
- My spending? Don’t even ask. Every “once in a lifetime” opportunity or “amazing deal” on some course or trip looked like a sign from the universe. I had to really hold myself back from buying a bunch of junk.
- Tried to start like, five new projects at once. I remember jotting down ideas to learn a new language, write a book, build a shed, master quantum physics – you name it, it was on my list for about a week. Total chaos, trying to juggle all that in my head.
The Wild Ride – And the Clutter
Yeah, it was a real burst of enthusiasm, that’s for sure. Felt like I could conquer the world for a bit. But here’s the kicker: it was also exhausting and messy. My place looked like a tornado hit a library and a hardware store because I’d pull things out for these grand projects and then just leave them. And my brain? Felt like a browser with a hundred tabs open. Hard to focus, hard to really get anything done properly.
It’s like this energy doesn’t come with an off-switch or a focus button. It’s all gas, no brakes. You end up chasing every shiny thing. Great for starting stuff, not so great for finishing, or for, you know, not annoying everyone around you with your sudden “wisdom” that you just have to share.
I remember this one time, this was a few years back when I really decided to track this specific vibe in my own life. It was a period where I was feeling particularly restless. My cousin, bless his heart, he was going on about some grand new business idea. He’s always got ideas, that one. But this time, it was like he was on fire. Talking a mile a minute, plans changing every five seconds. Classic Mars in Sag, if you ask me, though he wouldn’t know Mars from a chocolate bar. He was just feeling it, I guess.
So, I watched him. And I watched myself, because I was feeling that same pull to just jump on his bandwagon, throw all my savings into some scheme to sell artisanal dog biscuits to penguins or something equally brilliant-sounding at the time. My “practice” during that period was basically trying not to get swept away. I literally had to sit on my hands sometimes. I started making lists, trying to pin down one thing, just one thing, to focus that firehose of energy on. It wasn’t easy, felt like wrestling a greased pig, trying to nail down that scattered feeling.
What I ended up doing was channeling it into something physical but also with a point. I decided to finally clear out that old shed in the backyard. Seemed like a mountain. But every time that restless, preachy, “gotta do something HUGE” feeling hit, I’d go out there and just tear into it. Moving junk, sorting stuff, making piles. It was still expansive, still felt like I was conquering something, but it was contained. It wasn’t about convincing anyone of anything, just doing. I put on my headphones and just worked, for hours sometimes.
And you know what? By the end of it, the shed was clear. Not a world-changing event, no Nobel Prize. But it was done. Something tangible. And I learned something valuable from that little exercise. That Mars in Sagittarius buzz, it’s powerful, no doubt. But you gotta aim it. Otherwise, you’re just a firework going off in all directions – spectacular for a second, then just a lot of smoke and scattered bits. It’s not about suppressing it, more like building a decent nozzle for a very powerful hose. That was my takeaway, my “practice” in action. Still working on it, mind you. It’s not a one-and-done deal with this stuff; it’s an ongoing process of learning how to ride those waves.
