Mars Transit & Retrograde Through Capricorn
While the position of Mars in our natal chart affects us on an individual level, the planet’s continual transit through the signs impacts us all as it influences our fiery energies. It takes six to seven weeks to transit through each sign.
When Mars transits through Capricorn, we all tend to have a bit more determination and staying power than normal. When faced with a situation in which we would usually quit, at this time we can seem to find the energy to push through and reach the next level.
Thankfully, Mars does not retrograde through Capricorn often, as the planet only retrogrades every two years. It will next retrograde through Capricorn in 2033.
Whenever Mars retrogrades, we tend to feel like our energy is highly diminished. When this is combined with the energy of Capricorn, we might also feel ourselves suffering from too singular a focus. We can be at risk of pouring so much into something that we burn out.

Mars in Capricorn Personality Traits
When you are born with Mars in Capricorn, you are very organized and controlling in every aspect of your life. Combined with your inclination to keep your life private, a lot of people might think that you are uptight. But all this is about controlling your own life, and creating the freedom that you crave.
Organized
When you are born under Mars in Capricorn, you like to be organized and you like everything to be just so. You have a lot on your plate, and you want to give your all to everything, and you know that the best way to do that is to be as organized as possible.
You like to put plans in place that means that decisions are already made, and you just need to follow the path. This makes it easy to stick to that diet, hit the gym as often as your promised yourself, or say no to a night out to work on your passion project.
An extension of your need to organize is your need to track. You like to be able to see your progress and know that the plan you have put in place is working. You are probably a fan of self-tracking devices.
Controlling
If you are born under this sign, you feel the need to be in control of everything in your life. This is why it can be difficult for you to accept authority figures, and it can be difficult for you to share your space with other people (as all your previous roommates will attest).
Some might think that this makes you uptight, but in fact, it is all about freedom. You don’t want anyone else making decisions for you. Plus, organizing and almost automating a lot of aspects of your life gives you the freedom to be more creative and flexible in other areas.
You also realize that one of the few things that you can control in life is yourself. So, by keeping command of the things that are in your power, it makes it easier for you to accept and deal with the things that you can’t control.
Private

You always do things because you want to do them, and never to please other people. While you appreciate the admiration and recognition of others as much as the next person, you don’t need these things to motivate you.
Life has probably taught you that very few people are genuinely happy for you when you are successful, so you tend not to broadcast. Instead, you share your wins with the real people in your life who you know are always on your side, no matter what.
