π³So the last post we focused on divine feminine energy, Venusian energy. Adoring the delicate and light side of our sister planet, Venus. Today's post will focus on the yang to Venuses yin, Mars. The red, fiery and frisk planet of our solar system.
π³In ancient Rome Mars was said to be the God of War and represented the military power as a way to bring prosperity and peace in Rome. He is also the father to the notorious Romolus and Remus, the founders of the great city of Rome. It is believed that when war would hit Rome, the proud father Mars would help the military win over.
π³In the astrology world Mars is the depiction of masculine energy, just like how Venus is for feminine energy. They both represent this youthful power of the two genders. Being also close to the Sun, Marsian energy is organic, primal if you will. There isn't a lot what happens behind closed doors, no mystery to be explored. Mars represents this ongoing life energy, competition, agression, assertiveness, our sex drive, actions and desires. Mars is what keeps us going and gives us courage to keep going.
π³Of course it's master is Aries, the cardinal fire sign. Aries is the sign who brings back spring into our hearts after a long and cold winter. It takes a lot of effort waking every creature from it's hibernation period, so there really has to beΒ a lot of drive and determination. Aries is also depicted as the Ram of the zodiac. This animal is known to live in flocks, always having a leader. The leader takes good care of the group, even fighting to death for it's territory. The Ram is known for it's power, exerting 800 pounds from just a simple headbutt. So of course Aries will firstly be described as "heads on first".
π³Aries is also known as the baby of the zodiac, since he is first on the list. This meaning he has alot of wisdom and knowledge to acquire. These fire babies do not like being told what/how to do something and in that they can hurt themselves the most. Aries is also the sign of passion and motivation, confidence and bluntness, optimism and drive. They are naturally ambitious and love to take charge of the situation even though not knowing much ahead. Even though they love to be in charge, every Aries always has that moment where they question themselves are they truly doing good, but nevertheless they still keep going. They adore being loud, friendly, spontaneous, passionate and above all adventurous. If you ever want to go on a fun trip, get yourself an Aries to hang around. These Rams light up the room with their witty humor and charisma, wanting to befriend all. Aries really is the extrovert of all the signs, that's for sure.But they do get a bad reputation for being overly aggressive and explosive. Aries has a long way to go, patience really can be a friend to them, but they despise it. Their impulsive manner can cause damage quite rapidly in their life.
π³The biggest lesson I want every Aries to learn is to dive deep into the emotion of fury. Fury is a wild anger most Aries are known for, but they use it sometimes in the wrong way. This emotion is a sacred emotion, known to break worlds apart. So when used wisely, at the right time and the right place it can cause a good outcome. Other than fury, Aries needs to learn to be less selfish in ways where their hobbies, activities, friends or family come first. Be sure toask questions, learn from others and your own mistakes, journal and write down everything. I know it can be hard staying at home, not wondering all over the place, but make sure to have one reflection day for a better you, Aries. A lot of the time people will describe you as an only angry, kaotic, selfish and annoying sign but will forget to see the passion, loyalty, openness and friendliness of your sign because the bad can sometimes overshadow the good.
π³The other sign that was traditionally ruled by Mars was our dear mysterious Scorpio. Now why would astrologers brand a watery sign such as Scorpio to be ruled by the firey planet Mars? Even though we can say that Scorpios are very similar to water signs because of their strong emotional intelligence and psychic, "sixth" sense abilities Scorpio also derives a lot of caracteristics from his ancient ruler, Mars.Β Scorpio is also a passionate leader, who will win you over with their charisma and dedication. They are very direct with whom they trust, passionate with their lovers and outstandingly loyal to their family. Scorpios are not afraid to take action just like Aries but they do it in a calmer, more thought threw manner unlike our baby Aries. The caracteristic both Aries and Scorpio hold are their courage. Courage for change, action and their belief system. But nevertheless they are very different, since Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto. The planet of the underground and death.
π³Mars can also have destructive tendecies when positioned in the wrong house/sign. Mars in traditional astrology is considered a MALEFIC planet. Meaning it can govern unfavorable influence in an individuals chart.
π³If in a fall or detriment it can also bring some confusion to the table. Mars is how we express ourselves and how we approach day to day situations. As said above it is our natural energy of "doing", so when put in a house or sign where Mars feels homesick it can sometimesΒ be challenging. This does not mean the end of the world...it means you have to find the wisdom and courage to light your Mars up, even if it doesn't come naturally. But do have in mind to pick your fights wisely. Do not exhaust your self and take away your integrity and peace. That's the lesson every Marsian native should have in mind.
Let's get into some of my observations for our Marsian individuals, shall we!
π Aries rising are so hot and funny and they absolutely know it! They seem very open and kind to the public. A good sense of style aswell.
π Aries moons are a lot in my perspective. If handled well this placement can be very idealistic, passionate, quick and energetic...but they can be very short tempered and loss interest fast if not kept active and interested. They love a good rant with others and love to see their partner or friend laugh and explore with them. Very driven and very blunt.
π Aries mercury are very quick on their tongue, of course. They can be very good writers in my perspective. Autobiography is calling for a Aries mercury. They are very direct with their words and don't think a lot before speaking.
π Aries in the first house can be an amazing placement or a complex one. If a planet such as Saturn is placed here it can bring a lot of self reflection and problems with insecurity. It can also feel as if you want to take action for yourself, but are afraid to.
π Aries venus I've wrote in the Venusian post, but I'll write it again here shortly. Aries venus fall in love very fast, love primal energetic sex and can come off as "vanilla", but that doesn't mean it's bad just very straight to the point. They are also lovers of any head fondling and scratching, kisses around the neck and ears and they love their lovers to be vocal and not shy!
π Mars in the 7th house need to be in charge, they don't want their partner telling them how/what to do. They also might get married later in life. The assert their needs and wishes within the relationship with ease, if not in a air/water sign. They really need to learn compromise and to not act out at every inconviennce.
π Mars in the 9th house can be either go getters in school/collage or the procrastinator. They also love traveling all the time. I've met a few who change their address every once and awhile or love backpacking!
π Mars in the 12th house can repress their natural instincts a lot of the time. Very secretive about their actions and can have some issues with repressed emotions aswell. It can also attract the wrong people, even violent people. Solitude can be difficult at times for these natives.
π Aries in the 11th house is a very loyal friend to have around. They are extreme extroverts and people pleasers. Not a very peaceful social life. They love to party, get to know new people and don't have a difficult time getting to know others.
π Aries in the 4th house need a good family where they can speak and act freely. They are very hands on with their family. Love to take their family on trips. They will go to the end to defend their family.
π Mars square Venus can be a tricky aspect. It means challenges in balancing your soft side and masculine side. It can bring a lot of anger and hate into a relationship. The lesson here to learn is to communicate deeply your deepest emotions with loved ones, not to just turn your head the other way. This can also mean you have very very high standards in relationships and partners often times can't fulfill your expectations. It also creates a lot of frustration and passive aggressiveness in relationships. The goal is to work though the tough times and not want everything to be picture perfect.
π Mars dominant people are in my perspective people that you can smell miles away. They are so sure of themselves, always competing, also doing some sort of sports or activities, always speak up in school or in friendly surroundings, always on the hunt for new things and new people. I also see this in Sun, Pluto and Moon dominant people, they are really easy to spot!
π Mars square Jupiter individuals have a lot of enthusiasm and energy, if not handled well they can become very tired and needy. I've met a few people how have problems with insomnia with this placement because they cannot figure out how to deal with all this energy.
π I've also met a few Aries sun with Capricorn moons that are really into stripping. They know their clients love them and they love the money they get from it!
π Aries sun men have a very fragile ego along with Leo, Gemini and Libra men. They get very mad if you put your cards on the table and want something more in the partnership. Don't you dare interfere with their independence and free spirit lifestyle. I've also noticed Aries men love dogs and when they get there's it's always some high energy dog like a husky, border collie, dogo argentino etc.. Not big cat lovers.
π Chiron in Aries can mean a lot of shame in the individuals life. They've felt very worthless in a past life and feel like they are incompatible of leading or being up front. They also felt like they couldn't be themselves and had to be the chameleon of the group a lot of the times.
π Mars is Cancer is the death of me, if we're being honest. For the girls I haven't really seen big problems other than people taking advantage of them and not giving them the chance to glow. For the guys it's so destructive, they are so sneaky and manipulative at times and never say how they feel. They can become quite aggressive and emotionally abusive. But if handled well, they can be the most laid back fellas ever...I've never seen that to be honest, the only one's I've ever seen are the one's that feel very left out of the male group so they act in violence to show domination and security. The guys can feel like the have been neutered and are not enough of a man. But in reality they are made to hang out with the girls and just chill, there's no shame in that.
