Astrology Mars - Mars Astrology

Mars has been named after the God of War. However, this is a positive energy which only become negative when it serves the Ego, and not a higher cause. On a social level, it is a primal force that can become destructive when its collective power is harnessed for questionable purposes. Your Mars, or desire drives, can be co-opted and channeled by others. That makes a strong case for understanding your desires, and not allowing them to fall into shadow.

In astrology Mars is closely associated with whatever turns you on. It is also associated with how you pursue a potential mate. Whether you will have a detached approach towards your partner or if you will have a lovey dovey approach is determined by the position of Mars in various signs and houses. Mars determines whatever goes on in your bedroom.

According to Mars astrology, there is a great need to channel Mars’s energy in a right direction. It is like a volcano of vitality inside you which must be channeled in the right direction as soon as it is released. Mars lights up when you become filled with desire, and this guides you toward your destiny. It influences aspects of character related to action, like endurance, persistence, discipline. The aspects of Mars in your chart show things like how you handle frustration and conflict.

Mars always causes trouble when it is repressed. It always needs a mission or a destination. A person may struggle with his aggression when Mars is in conflict with other planets. Moreover, it may lead to a very violent behavior in extreme cases. As an example, let us state that Hitler had Mars conflicting with Saturn. As a result, he had a violent nature and could not control his aggression.

In astrology Mars has always been associated with our passions and therefore, it propels us towards our goals. We may even feel like an ignited rocket when Mars does its wonders. Mars possesses an important energy since it determines how we pursue what we want to achieve in life. These flashpoints burn a path toward what is possible, if we follow them.

From a sexual point of view, Mars influences how you go about initiating a night of amour. Mars can be associated with how you court a potential lover, from being coolly detached, to becoming ablaze with ardent intensity, and every style in between.

When Mars is afflicted or has many conflicts in a horoscope, it can lead to repressing the vital fire within. But not to be denied, a stifled Mars will eventually erupt, and emerge through temper tantrums or just a low grade, but constant irritability.
