Mars in Scorpio

21 October 1833, 07:00, Stockholm, Sweden

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Alfred as “you”.

Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.

In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.

Mars in Scorpio

You have a strong will and strong spirit. What you set up to do (and what you promise to do!), you do. With as much exertion, will and commitment, as is required. You never do things in halfway manner and you despise lazy people. You have extreme physical strength, are very combative and stubborn. You are into sports, are interested in health, hygiene, martial arts, training of body and mind. You are extremely attractive and charismatic, very passionate, in intimate relationships committed, impetuous and fiery, and also possessive, jealous and aggressive. You dedicate to something slowly and with difficulty, but if/when you do, you are capable of the most passionate and intense emotions.

Mars in 1st house

You are an impetuous, temperamental and fiery person who is mostly of good health and firm body constitution, but you can be prone to injuries, hits, fever, etc. Such position often indicates difficult birth or difficulties (health and other) in earliest childhood. You are ambitious, combatative and often intolerant, because of your intolerance you are sometimes unable to make compromises, but you are still very appreciated among other people, because of your life energy and dynamic personality. You are often involved in sports.

Mars in domicile

You are energetic, dynamic, impetuous and intensive, you have enormous physical energy. You are an athletic, dynamic person, always in motion, you quickly start working on planned things, you are extremely capable and endurable. You have a dominant nature, you are an authority, despite the fact that you make compromises with difficulty. If Mars is in bad aspect, you are usually irritable and pretty aggressive. But if it is situated well in personal horoscope, you are a person, who does your job well, are hearty and enthusiastic and always prepared for action.

Mars opposition Jupiter

You have a lot of energy and enormous physical strength, which you don't always control well. You like exaggerating, you have strong emotions and reactions, you are passionate and often too dramatic. You have impetuous and explosive, eager and insatiable character. You expect and demand too much from yourself and others, but mostly you don't have the right and calm approach, so you are often in conflict with yourself and the outer world. You like speed, you are interested in sport and also danger, you are quickly drawn to paths which can prove to be thoughtless. Your inner dissatisfaction can originate from early life period, which perhaps wasn't the calmest and you also have this pattern later in life.

Mars square Neptune

You are emotional, sensitive and have strong intuition, but it is often not of much help to you; whether you don't follow it or you place too much importance on different possible perspectives, which are often only your mind constructs and fantasies or even your escape from reality and this actually distances you from the right path. You indulge in daydreaming and sometimes you spend too much time and attention daydreaming, so you are caught in a vicious circle of inactivity and stressful and depressive emotions.

Mars conjunction Ascendant

You are a decisive and dynamic person with enormous inner strength and energy. You have a restless, impulsive, fiery and passionate nature. You often have good motivational skills and encourage others with your energy and audaciousness. You are ambitious, combative and competitive, interested in sports and perhaps also involved in them. You quickly get upset and often react strongly and tumultuously, sometimes you are also troubled by injuries. Perhaps there is some special – and not too 'gentle' – circumstance concerning your birth (such as premature or difficult birth etc.) or the earliest period of your life.
