Mars in Virgo

4 August 1961, 19:24, Honolulu, HI, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Barack 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 Virgo

You are probably a rather restless and nervous person who is always busy doing something and is rarely leisurely and lazy. You are extremely tidy and pedantic, everything you do is well-considered and you certainly don't go banging your head against a brick wall. You probably look and behave nicely and are well-mannered, you have a dynamic and fast, but certainly not difficult or suffocating character, but you are even too reserved and rarely completely relax in company or environment that you are not familiar with. You take care of your body, you are into sports or recreation and probably don't have problems with obesity. You are very fit and move with agility. You love with devotion, but also find it difficult to completely relax, also in intimate relationships, and therefore usually don't appear as the most passionate person.

Mars in 7th house

In personal relationships, you are usually rather nonconformist and often even quarrelsome; you are basically looking for a partner that is at your level (but because such Mars position is actually often rather problematic when it comes to relationships, you are often found in the midst of tumultuous and temperamental love or/and partner relationship). In this sense, you actually have a pretty difficult character and are also attracted to a partner with such character. You are a dominant person, but you don't stand others being henpecked, so a relationship with you is (at least) interesting.

Mars trine Saturn

You are diligent, decisive, practical, organized and persistent, you have enormous strength and physical ability and good renewal ability. You tackle manifold businesses and projects, including heavy and strenuous work that demands good physical condition. You are methodical and have good strategic abilities, you like planning and often set high goals, which you often also fulfill, because they are clear and realistic and because you are also ambitious, motivated and also strong-willed. You have leadership abilities and others acknowledge this role to you and are also prepared to follow you, because they appreciate you, all in all, also because of the actual results you achieve.

Mars inconjunct Ascendant

You are often in a sort of conflict with yourself and this often originates from a pattern from your early period of life, when you perhaps felt that you need to especially prove and validate yourself, because you perhaps lacked attention and validation or thought you weren't appreciated enough. So you can either engage in all possible areas to find confirmation or you withdraw to inactivity and laziness, if you give up because of disappointment.
