O: Mars

Mars transmits an astral vibration that manifests the desire to fight, attack opponents and obstacles, compete, dare and have sex here on Earth. You have an aggressive urge.

It codes for the emergence and evolution of aggressive thinking and is characterized by conflict, strife, haste, anger, hate, brutality, force, adventure, sexual activity, creativity, mechanical skills and engineering ability.

Mars set the scene for race-preservation, war, fights, feuds, armies, weapons, destruction, construction, manufacturing, competition, risk-taking, gambling, alcohol consumption, surgeons, mathematics and a social stratum composed of generals, admirals, soldiers, engineers, athletes, adventurers and mathematicians.

Sex, the fight impulse, and the struggle to overcome enemies are dynamic features of the natural world. Ceaseless energetic activity is needed to find food and overcome obstacles. Surviving a hostile environment requires effective aggressive behavior: courage, daring, enterprise and resilience.

The symbol for Mars  depicts the cross of matter surmounting the circle of spirit. Its coded message reveals that might, physical strength, passion, animal appetites and war, as forces for destruction, overpower spirit.

Mars in your birth chart measures the strength and functional status of your aggressive urge. As a dynamic component of your character it’s a collection of thoughts, feelings and impulses that have the same vibratory rate as Mars.

It expresses a narrow range of aggressive behaviors – your way of dealing with conflict, fighting, energizing effort, taking the initiative, overcoming obstacles and having sex – that have developed through experience into an aggressive behavior habit-system.

Your combative intelligence, conflict-fight life, competitiveness, sense of adventure and capacity to build, create, destroy, take risks, play with fire, guns and knives, move fast, speed, energize effort, have sex, consume alcohol, cause strife, work with machinery and understand mathematics are an expression of your not-conscious aggressive urge. Its best quality is initiative; and its worst is harshness.
