Mars

Mars is the fourth planet in the Solar system. Being personal in its sign, house and aspects reflecting basic psychological functions in the personality. Certainly, red is seen as the symbolic color for Mars – the color of blood, fire, action and passion.

Traditionally, Mars is the ruler of Aries influencing leadership and drive. Then Scorpio influencing intensity and sexuality and Capricorn influencing ambition and loyalty. Therefore, the aspects with Mars in your chart show things like how you handle frustration and conflict.

Notably passionate and impulsive, being the masculine aspect – going beyond sex and into your drive, discipline, willpower and stamina. On the other hand, Venus is seen as the feminine aspect, tempting Mars to smell the roses along the way. So the two planets Mars and Venus are reflective of many relationships with Mars being the gas and Venus the brakes.

However, it is able to ignite our passions and propel us forcefully towards our goals. Its influence particularly important as it’s able to determine the way we pursue and achieve our goals in life.

In addition, it has a profound effect on our sexual identity. Determining the way you choose to initiate a situation and court a potential lover. From being coolly detached to the charming intensity and every style in between.

Characteristics of mars

Firstly, Mars’ energy can become a negative force when it serves only the Ego, rather than a higher cause. But it is able to cause destruction when its power is used for questionable purposes, being a primal force in our social lives.

Secondly, planet Mars is able to stir up serious trouble when repressed, if in conflict with other planets you may struggle with anger issues. And Mars will always eventually erupt, seeing temper tantrums or constant irritability.

Therefore, simply asks to be given an outlet and a promise to be channelled. So when your own Mars nature is understood, it is much easier to master. Once mastered, Mars is able to guide you to make the most of your potential by highlighting your own natural assertiveness.

Certainly, Mars rules the sex organs, bladder, and muscular system, sense of taste, face, left ear, kidneys, inflammatory conditions, burns, accidents and sexually transmitted diseases within your health.

However, people strongly influenced by Mars tend to find themselves careers such as sport and competition, entrepreneurship, administration, police, army and technical work.

Mars in the Twelve Signs

Here, Mars is in its element and gives the native the whole of its energy, willpower, and courage. For him to approve of some question is equivalent to defending and propagating it. He likes to fight for that which is sympathetic and one may often find that “veni, vidi, vici” ( I came I saw I conquered ) comes true for him.

Mars in Aries renders pushing, energetic and dauntless, positive and enthusiastic. But it is obvious that in his zeal a man with this position. At times trample on other people’s most precious principles. Therefore this does not prevent him from going on even though everyone should be against him.

He is sometimes sarcastic, more or less caustic and satirical in remarks or admonitions, very fond of friendly disputes and verbal sham fights; acquaintances are often made fun of. However, this sometimes drives friends away or even makes enemies of them. Although this consequence was by no means intended and as a rule, pride hinders further reconcilement.

When a fiery, active planet is placed on the imaginative watery sign Cancer, the activity will manifest more in the imagination than in reality.

And all that ends in either grandly conceived plans or a fantastically exaggerated story of an insignificant occurrence.

Cancer’s feeling for domestic life is usually too strong (if Mars does not receive very many strengthening aspects). For the native to set out into the world martially.
