Mars in Capricorn

26 May 1907, 01:00, Winterset, IA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to John 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 Capricorn

Mars feels good in this sign; you are a firm, persistent, diligent and hard-working person, also honest, loyal and faithful. You probably have a practical and reliable character and a lot of personal strength. You are extremely capable and persistent, capable of great exertion and tiresome work. You are organized, methodical and disciplined in everything you do. At first glance, you seem somewhat reserved in intimate relationships, but you are actually bursting with passion and sensuality. In relationships, you value faithfulness and commitment, however, you are too proud and stubborn. You can also be cruel and, in some way, distant.

Mars in 11th house

Often you focus all your life and all your energy to charity and similar projects. You are a humanist, involved in fighting for human and animal rights, you are interested in ecology. You work very well in groups or under patronage of a bigger organization, you yourself often introduce novelties into existing and accepted systems – in science and spirituality or in computer science and mathematics. You like making all sorts of acquaintances and friendships, but you are basically a naive person and aren't always the best judge of what company is actually cool for you.

Mars opposition Jupiter

You have a lot of energy and enormous physical strength, which you don't always control well. You like exaggerating, you have strong emotions and reactions, you are passionate and often too dramatic. You have impetuous and explosive, eager and insatiable character. You expect and demand too much from yourself and others, but mostly you don't have the right and calm approach, so you are often in conflict with yourself and the outer world. You like speed, you are interested in sport and also danger, you are quickly drawn to paths which can prove to be thoughtless. Your inner dissatisfaction can originate from early life period, which perhaps wasn't the calmest and you also have this pattern later in life.

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 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).
