Witch is the main role of Mars in Astrology? Here you have some short notes:

  • Mars is about action, energy and desire. In the chart, position of Mars shows our basic instincts, how we react to external stimulus and how we respond to danger and in competitive activities;
  • The position of Mars in houses show the areas if life where we should use its energy. The general advise is, no matter if we are talking about natal Mars or its transits we must use its energy, otherwise this planet will show the dark side of its force, especially when is in retrograde period;
  • It is also very important to know main moments of the planet moving:

            Direct moving – the best moment for action, the energy of the planet is good

            First station, before retrograde period – not good, do not start any important action in this period

            Retrograde moving – do not act, try to relax and observe the reality, it is better to (re)think your actions and your strategies

            Second station, before direct period – the events are going in good direction

            That is why it is important, in any kind of astrological interpretation (in natal chart, in transits etc) to see if Mars is actually going to the first station or the second one.

  • Mars can have a big impact over your HEALTH STATE, so it is important where in your natal chart is placed (sign and house) and what aspects (from sign to sign) he does with the rest of the planets. Your natal Mars shows the most exposed anatomical area to acute illness, infections, inflammations, injuries and bleeding;
  • Like any traditional planet, MARS has an important role in horary astrology, Ptolemy said that Mars is the representation of virile ages, between 41 and 56 years;
  • In relational astrology MARS has also major implications and it shows what kind of love partner that attracts you most. Also it is important if, in your natal chart Mars is retrograde: for man a natal Mars retrograde shows possible sexual and emotional failures, sexual excesses and a passive aggression attitude; for women a Mars retrograde in their natal chart shows frigidity or they attract men with sexual problems or they find hardly a stable partner;
  • Because Mars is the planet of action, a real engine of life,you will find its important role in vocational astrology, especially if this planet is placed in 10th, 6th and 2nd house of your natal chart;
  • MARS TRANSITS AND ITS DIRECTION are also important;
  • As you know, every TUESDAY is the DAY OF MARS, so you can be involved in activities that are ruled by Mars: courage and adventure activities that enforcing your will. Also it is important to know PLANETARY HOURS OF MARS because you can start specific activities with good results, for example: injections, dental surgery and operations, lawsuits, conflicts, going to war; sports, exercises; risk-taking; making complaints; firing employees; seeking favors of husband or boyfriend;
  • Some MIDPOINTS are very important and MARS is involved in the story, for example:

Mars/Saturn midpoint: it is about structure of your body and any blockage or stress area;

Mars/Uranus midpoint: it is about bone structure, accidents, injuries and operations;

Mars/Neptune midpoint: it is the toxicity point and can lead to infections, contagious diseases and all   kind of poisoning;

Mars/Ascendant midpoint: it is about predisposition for accidents and surgeries;
