Erykah Badu’s birth chart
Mars in Sagittarius
26 February 1971, 12:00, Dallas, TX, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Erykah 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 Sagittarius
You are a fast, athletic, agile and dynamic person, always on the road and always moving. You are probably involved in sports (often also professionally), are a good dancer, skier, etc. Very rarely do you indulge in slowness and laziness, you are always doing something, always creating, always doing something new. At a glance, you passionate, impetuous and fiery, but in reality, you are rather superficial in personal contacts and you quickly feel trapped and restricted. Besides sports, you are interested in good cars, good action, fun and being in cheerful company. Perhaps you are professionally devoted to fighting for people or animal rights, etc., or are successful in journalism, news reporting, research or are a world traveler.
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 inconjunct Saturn
You are usually energetic, ambitious and enterprising, but not always patient and tactful enough, also not too understanding. You don't always have sense of individual levels of progression and also not of hierarchy. You don't like authorities too much and can be in bad relationships with them.
Mars opposition Ascendant
You are usually passionate and fiery, also fast and restless. You calm down with difficulty and are always in motion or involved with something. You are bored, when and if nothing is happening. You are not always patient and tolerant, also not tactful. You often have an unpredictable, reckless, impulsive character and react too quickly and too strongly, because you have difficulty restraining yourself and so you may also experience misunderstandings or disputes with others. Your extreme need for manifestation of power and energy, which is sometimes, unfortunately, also destructive, can originate from the earliest life period, when it perhaps developed in an environment which didn't influence you mildly and encouragingly, and perhaps you felt that you have to acquire everything with difficulty. You are interested in sport and can also be involved in it, but you have to be careful about injuries, since you may be prone to them.
