Mars in Scorpio

26 December 1891, 12:00, Yorkville, NY, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Henry 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 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 Jupiter

You are usually vital, pliable, flexible and dynamic, you have a lot of energy and strength, which you usually know how to direct and take advantage of well. You are swift, responsive and clever, a good judge and you quickly adapt to every situation. You instinctively choose and take the right path, you also sense good opportunities and are good in making business. You like travelling and travel a lot, you like exploration and discovering new directions and paths, you are interested in everything. You always look ahead and strive for progress, sometimes you are prone to being snobbish. You are interested in sport and can also be involved in it and can even reach good results in this area.

Mars conjunction Uranus

You are usually a very dynamical, restless, impulsive and passionate person, who never stops and is always in action, with both body and mind. You are ambitious, original and innovative. You are always creating something and seeking new paths. You sometimes have unusual ways and act unpredictably, but despite this or perhaps because of this, you are also exciting and people are often attracted to your special glow.

Mars inconjunct Neptune

You are sensitive and emotional and you often try to suppress or at least hide this, so you wouldn't seem too soft, so you are often in conflict with yourself and you run away to your dream world and/or in laziness. All your actions depend on how you feel and you often work intensely at the last minute.

Mars inconjunct Pluto

You are usually impetuous and have huge desires and appetites in all areas, but you don't have much sense of separating between what are needed and what useless actions, so all your potentials can go to waste, because you spend too much energy for unnecessary things which would also be best to avoid anyway (such as getting upset about things you have no influence on).

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.
