Robert Downey Jr.’s birth chart
Mars in Virgo
4 April 1965, 13:10, Greenwich, NY, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Robert 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 2nd house
You are a very diligent, hard-working and determined person. You direct an enormous amount of your time and energy into work and into acquiring material goods. But it is harder for you to maintain what you have gained (especially if you have some bad aspects). Because of this you often have problems with digestion and similar problems; you keep worrying whether things could be done more quickly or better. You often work in sport or in the army. You have a lot of sense of animals and animal training, that is why you may work in veterinary science and similar areas.
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 opposition Saturn
You are extremely strong, energetic, decisive, ambitious and enterprising and often strive to achieve success, reputation, power and material safety at any rate. You mostly trust your own ways and methods and expect that others will also follow and consider them, although ideas of others may be better and/or more easily realizable with given possibilities. You have a combative and relentless nature, but you don't always have the right ways and don't understand other people's views, you are also not very compassionate, so your cooperation with others is often difficult. Your desire and need for power and success can originate from earliest life period, when perhaps you could in no way get or felt that you can't get validation.
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 conjunction Pluto
You are a passionate person with enormous energy and strength, but you don't always succeed in accumulating and taking advantage of them, that is why it is very important for you that you find the appropriate way to release excessive energy. You can find this in sports which you are often involved in. You can even achieve good results in sport and other areas once you learn to control the 'lower passions', such as exaggerated reactions, being too impetuous and tendency to violence.
Mars trine MC
You are usually decisive, energetic, enterprising and hard-working, with healthy ambitions and the ability to reach actual results and success. You have good strategic abilities, are methodical, persistent and strong-willed, and you are also to some extent understanding of others. You value honor, so you can work well with people, although you are combative and competitive and have leadership aspirations. You are interested in ‘male’ areas, such as traffic and sport, which you are perhaps also involved in, you also have a good nose for business and a good feeling of taking the right actions at the right moment. You know many and often also the ‘right people’.
