Mars in Capricorn

3 March 1847, 07:00, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Alexander 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 Capricorn

Mars feels good in this sign; you are a firm, persistent, diligent and hard-working person, also honest, loyal and faithful. You probably have a practical and reliable character and a lot of personal strength. You are extremely capable and persistent, capable of great exertion and tiresome work. You are organized, methodical and disciplined in everything you do. At first glance, you seem somewhat reserved in intimate relationships, but you are actually bursting with passion and sensuality. In relationships, you value faithfulness and commitment, however, you are too proud and stubborn. You can also be cruel and, in some way, distant.

Mars in 11th house

Often you focus all your life and all your energy to charity and similar projects. You are a humanist, involved in fighting for human and animal rights, you are interested in ecology. You work very well in groups or under patronage of a bigger organization, you yourself often introduce novelties into existing and accepted systems – in science and spirituality or in computer science and mathematics. You like making all sorts of acquaintances and friendships, but you are basically a naive person and aren't always the best judge of what company is actually cool for you.

Mars as culminating planet

Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.

Mars square Uranus

On the inside, you are very restless, passionate, impulsive, energetic and fast, also impatient, you are prone to being irritable and you quickly get agitated, especially if things happen too slowly or not the way you imagine. You are something special, original, unpredictable and you can change course or object of interest and action at any moment. Because of your self-will and impatience you often find yourself in arguments with others.
