-MARS-

 

 

Mars reveals how we express passionate desire, our sex-drive and how we go about getting what we want in life.  Mars energy is basic, raw and primitive, Venus is refined and sensual.  Mars represents the masculine element in both sexes, it’s what drives us, gets us going, our motivating force. 

Mars energy makes you feel “on” all the time.  Mars is associated with Ares, the Greek god of War and passion.  When we are provoked or afraid Mars keeps us safe by expressing anger.  Times when we lose control, or become aggressive, this is Mars kicking in!

 

Mars is a fiery red planet half the size of earth.  Mars’ orbit is approx. 1year 11months. The first Mars return (ie. mars returning to the natal position) triggers the ’terrible 2’s’ in childhood.

 

The mythological figures associated with Mars is: Robin Hood, Jason and The Argonauts (the search for the golden fleece) and Joan of Arc.

 

Mars rules Tuesday, and can be honoured by doing what we desire.

 

In a man’s chart Mars is strong and easily expressed.  In a woman’s chart Mars can be subdued, due to restrictions society has placed on appropriate feminine behaviour.  The sign where a woman’s Mars is, describes the type of man she desires.  I have focussed  on the man’s interpretation, however girls, read the guys version it also applies to you.  Check out which sign your mars is in and his.

 

The sign your Mars is in expresses your desires,  describes what ignites your sexual drive and the sort of lover you are. Why, is it, we are powerfully attracted to some people and others leave us cold?  Sexual attraction is a mystery and astrology gives us some tantalising insights!  Read on and see how you express Mars……….
