Mars Sign
Mars rules Aries and Scorpio. It is a dynamic force often depicted as masculine although women have all these qualities to. It is the divine masculine principle in ourselves and partners with Venus, the divine feminine aspect.
As with all the planets, there is a constructive and destructive side to the energies of Mars. On the plus side, we have the dynamism, passion and drive necessary to activate projects and relationships. On the flip side we can experience Mars through misplaced egotism, frustration, impetuousness and anger.
Finding the sign and placement of Mars in your chart can help you to understand your motivations, redeploy your ego and create more harmony in your interactions.
Mars takes 2 years to travel around the Zodiac and at every transit it will trigger a new personal energy cycle for you when it makes contact with Mars in your chart. This can be calculated to the day and be used for initiating big projects or making brave changes.
Working with the aspects or angles that Mars makes to the other planets in your chart can show you where effortless gains can be made as well as how raw nerves can be soothed.
Mars in a chart can show how we express passion.
Mars in a Woman’s chart can also represent the strong male influences in her life and the type of Men she will find attractive or attract.
