Mars in Scorpio

10 April 1952, 13:54, Lansing, MI, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Steven 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 4th house

You are a diligent and hard-working person, you are always doing and creating something, at the same time you are very sensitive to your environment. When you are alone, you often feel somewhat awkward or clumsy; you need a lot of space around you. It is also possible that you move often or change things in your family life, you often also experience quarrels and accidents in your life, injuries that happen in the house and alienation or loss of one of the parents or the relationship with one of your parents cools off.

Mars trine Uranus

You are dynamic, flexible, agile, moveable and fast, you are always planning something and looking into the future. You are interested in technics, novelties and progress, are curious, original and inventive. Your ways and approaches are innovative and creative, sometimes you are a true inventor. You can work in areas which not many people find appealing or you do something others find unusual or in some way special. You have an open and audacious spirit, others often find you exciting and attractive, that is why you are usually popular and have numerous acquaintances and friendships in versatile circles. You are naturally intelligent, extremely responsive and inventive, you usually have good coordination and sense of space.

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.

Mars square Ascendant

You are energetic and have enormous physical abilities, but you don't always organize them best and you either waste your energy or you don't have enough of it. You are extremely motivated, competitive and combative, also (self)destructive, that is why you are prone to injuries. If things aren't happening fast enough or as you imagine them to, you try to speed them up, sometimes with inconsideration and even violence, so your relationships with others aren't easy. These characteristics of yours can be the consequence of feeling unaccepted and of lacking attention in early period of life (and you perhaps feel that you always have to prove yourself).

Mars opposition MC

You are usually very energetic, decisive, combative and competitive. Sometimes you even exaggerate in being competitive and are impatient, inconsiderate and untactful. You don't always respect authorities, you are stubborn and rebellious, you don't like being in subordinate position. You have leadership characteristics and abilities, but you often lack compassion (although you, on the other hand, demand a lot of it for yourself). You don't understand that others perhaps don't have as much energy as you do and are too strict, critical and demanding towards them. You like to prove (yourself), are prone to cynicism and quarrelsomeness. You don't want to hear objections and you don't like compromises, so your relationships with others are sometimes difficult and problematic.
