Mars in Scorpio

17 July 1952, 15:00, Baltimore, MD, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to David 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 12th house

You are a sensitive person who is usually very interested in fellow man, his motives, desires and goals and you also understand other people very well – that is why you are successful as explorer and detective, in social work and medicine, also in veterinary medicine. You also have a lot of sense and understanding for those who are in some way handicapped (mentally or physically) or those who give in to fate. You have exceptional inner strength and great influence on others, but you are not very open and you often hide something.

Mars as rising planet

Because Mars is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and have exceptional strength and outstanding physical endurance. You are combative and impetuous and you usually fulfill what you set to do. Because you have so much energy, it is basically essential to direct you towards sport and similar activities already in childhood; but because of your restless energy, you are prone to injuries, also to headaches and high temperature. Perhaps your mother had a hard delivery with you or there were some health issues in pregnancy or during or after delivery; but because you are a born warrior with exceptional life energy and will, you always manage to have enough energy for self-renewal; it is only important that you beneficially direct and use excessive energy.

Mars trine Uranus

You are dynamic, flexible, agile, moveable and fast, you are always planning something and looking into the future. You are interested in technics, novelties and progress, are curious, original and inventive. Your ways and approaches are innovative and creative, sometimes you are a true inventor. You can work in areas which not many people find appealing or you do something others find unusual or in some way special. You have an open and audacious spirit, others often find you exciting and attractive, that is why you are usually popular and have numerous acquaintances and friendships in versatile circles. You are naturally intelligent, extremely responsive and inventive, you usually have good coordination and sense of space.

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.
