Ernest Hemingway’s birth chart
Mars in Virgo
21 July 1899, 08:00, Oak Park, IL, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Ernest 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 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 square Saturn
You are usually decisive, energetic, enterprising and ambitious, also stubborn. You have a strong desire to succeed in business, but you also often have a rigid character and are not perceptive to other ways, you know the best and do the best. You are critical and demanding, you can also be harsh and even cruel. You aren't too understanding of others, so you can't always cooperate with them well and your business path can be difficult because of it, until you try to also put yourself in other people's shoes and start nurturing compassion.
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 square Pluto
You have enormous energy potential and have to actually try to keep it under control. You have a passionate, impulsive, fiery, impetuous and explosive character and such are also your reactions. You are often in conflict, because you are impatient, often tactless and intolerant. You quickly get agitated, argue often, sometimes you can even be violent. You have trouble holding back your physical and other appetites and sometimes have to pull all the stops to keep balance between what is possible and real and between what you want.
