Mars in zodiac signs: what influence?
On a birth chart, look at which zodiac sign Mars is in and you'll know more about its true influence.
Mars in Aries
Mars is at home here since it's Aries' ruling planet. Action is essential for you, you don't lack boldness, challenges stimulate you, difficulties don't frighten you. You're a fast, direct person, sometimes aggressive. Your daredevil side, your lack of patience and your impulsiveness can lead you to recklessness. You often get angry but it never lasts very long.
Mars in Taurus
You're not the type to throw yourself into action hastily. On the contrary, you think long and hard before acting, to the point that some find you slow in your reactions. In fact, you weigh the disadvantages, advantages, risks. You have no desire to make mistakes and therefore waste time and energy! However, once launched, you're like a bulldozer that nothing can stop. Your determination borders on obstinacy. You need to assert yourself through material, financial achievement... You don't get angry easily but when you do, run for cover!
Mars in Gemini
You're a fast person, always in motion, you love speed. You can't sit still and you sometimes risk scattering yourself, as you undertake so many things at once. In your speech, your frankness can hurt. You're not the type to think twice before speaking. Fortunately, when you want something, you don't lack persuasive talent, your sense of repartee hits the mark!
Mars in Cancer
You're not the type to use force to assert yourself. This can sometimes hinder you in facing life's vicissitudes, you flee confrontation, arguments, competition. You need encouragement from your loved ones to undertake, to act, to dare. When it comes to protecting your home, your house, your family, you know how to concentrate your energy to defend everyone's interests. Your asset is patience and tenacity.
Mars in Leo
This Mars position gives you a rather domineering character. People appreciate your dynamism, your conquering spirit, your mastery of events, your self-confidence. Despite a certain generosity, you can, in some cases, fall into intransigence or, depending on the rest of your chart, be tempted by abuse of power. You need to decide, to get results quickly. Sports help you express your formidable energy.
Mars in Virgo
You only act if you know full well that your actions will be essential. In your activities, you calculate, you evaluate, you wait for the best moment before acting. You organize, you target your actions, which gives you great efficiency. Thanks to your foresight, you make mistakes less often than others. This inspires confidence, even if some find you too slow, too hesitant. The precision, the quality of your work are often applauded. However, be careful that your perfectionism doesn't make you obsessive. Keep a critical mind but don't underestimate yourself. You have the patience necessary to handle small daily tasks. You need to make yourself useful and helpful but if someone disrupts your schedule, you're capable of biting...
Mars in Libra
You're not the type to jump into a boxing ring, you rather flee struggle and competition. You hate physical and verbal violence. However, thanks to your sense of justice and diplomacy, you can win, impose your desires, get your ideas across, triumph better than others. You're both flexible in your way of acting and at the same time, you're capable of intransigence, once your decision is made. You raise the sword of justice when you're sure of what you're defending. Depending on the rest of your birth chart, you can put others' interests before your own or fall into fanaticism...
Mars in Scorpio
As with Aries, Mars is at home in Scorpio (Scorpio's second ruler is Pluto). Mars expresses itself fully here. It gives you powerful vital energy, a taste for confrontation. It incites you to rebel, to refuse everything that doesn't suit you. With Mars in Scorpio, your conflictual nature can make you fight great and beautiful battles. However, it can also push you to complicate your life, to get tangled up in petty conflicts, recurring score-settling. Depending on the rest of your birth chart, Mars in Scorpio can make you a formidable character who likes to exercise control over their entourage, use adversaries' weak points. On the positive side, crisis situations, great difficulties, allow you to transform yourself, to surpass yourself and show amazing courage.
Mars in Sagittarius
You need to set fairly high goals to act. Challenges stimulate you but sometimes, you scatter yourself and exhaust your forces. Try not to go in all directions. You like working in a team, working for a group, sharing initiatives. You can distribute good deeds and show yourself generous. However, competition drives you to the point that you need to impose yourself on others excessively sometimes. Depending on the rest of your chart, you risk falling into vanity and overzealousness.
Mars in Capricorn
In this sign, Mars gives you tenacious determination, lots of insight and prudence. Your perseverance allows you to see your ventures through. You're not the type to act on the spot. You reflect, analyze before taking action but you're particularly gifted for long-term projects. With you, persistence works wonders. You prefer working alone and you know better than anyone how to put emotions, feelings aside to achieve your goals.
Mars in Aquarius
You're inventive in your actions or gifted for manual techniques. You possess strong energy, rather nervous, which can also generate sudden energy drops. You like to act immediately, undertake several things at once, for you it has to move. In your reactions, you can count on excellent reflexes. You much prefer working with other people, solitude doesn't enchant you. Yet, in your teamwork, groups, you sometimes reveal yourself as individualistic and you do as you please. On the negative side, depending on the rest of your chart, you can show yourself undisciplined, reckless, impulsive, intolerant.
Mars in Pisces
You flee conflicts, competition. You're very respectful of others. People may find your initiatives too timid, hesitant but you manage to reach your goals thanks to your intuition, your delicacy, a certain seduction, rather than by force. You need to defend the weakest, you can act more firmly when it comes to defending your ideals, realizing your dreams. Generally, you like to surround yourself with trusted people to act in groups. On the negative side, depending on the rest of your birth chart, you risk a certain passivity. Your sometimes too overwhelming emotions can prevent you from acting.
