Mars aspects

Mars is well-known to be the planet of war. In astrology, it represents our drive, sex in the lustful manner, force, and how we experience anger. It can also represent athletics, sports and active activities. It is also what we are sexually attracted to, what turns us on.

In old fashioned astrology, a woman would not associate herself with her Mars. For example, if a woman had Mars in Gemini, she would be attracted to men who are intelligent, witty. It would not mean that when she is angry she can become cold or icy, or intellectualizes things.

However, nowadays we associate Mars with both sexes. In both sexes it is what we are attracted to sexually and how we experience drive and anger.

Mars-Venus aspects: Love and sexual styles go hand-in-hand and are fused together. One can have love with sex, or experience romance and affection with sex. On the other side, if there are stressful aspects, one can have sex plenty of times without really being in love. One can be unfaithful. With other stressful aspects, like the quincunx or opposition, sexual and love styles might be so different the person will need to balance the two or make adjustments. Take Mars in Aries and Venus in Scorpio for example; there is a push and drive from Aries, but fear of rejection from Scorpio.

One can be turned on by arts, music, and creativity.

Or perhaps one's love style is assertive, driven and direct. Or perhaps both. Certainly, if you have the conjunction you're an assertive, direct, and fast moving lover, but you could be turned on by artsy and creative individuals.

Generally a high sex drive or emphasis on sex.



Mars-Jupiter aspects: Mars is anger and Jupiter is expansion. Yes, someone with any Mars-Jupiter aspects, whether soft or stressful, can have a temper problem. Depending on aspects and house placements will show the effect; one person could have a temper tantrum and forget/forgive, and the other person might have an explosive and raging temper.

Well, it's not all bad news, either. Intelligent people who love to discuss politics, philosophy, religion ( or lack thereof ), sociology, or current events turn them on. They want to have sex with intellectual people. They are turned off by ignorance and narrow mindedness. You have to be able to keep up with their discussions or they won't be into you anymore.

Another good thing about Mars-Jupiter is an interest in the outdoors and fitness, whether it's just running in the park or playing a team sport.



Mars-Saturn aspects: Ice/fire, stop/go are frequent features of any of the aspects. Whether the aspect, there will always be self doubt lingering in the person, even if they are successful at what they want to do in life. Also, sexual styles may be inhibited, out of fear or being overly cautious. Caution can be a good thing, but sometimes they can miss out on good opportunities.

However, it's not all bad news or doom/gloom. Any of the aspects can learn a lot if they get over their obstacles. And generally they learn the hard way. They are disciplined with their bodies and how they react to anger ( but this depends on what aspect ).

Stressful aspects are obviously harder. The conj, square and opp might indicate someone who fights anger between fire and ice, or anger and apathy. One minute they might be angry as f*ck, or apathetic and cold the next ( square, opp ). The conjunction person might fight with ice and apathy to the point that the person who pissed them off thinks they're arrogant and robotic. However, they may feel many self doubts or that the world is against them. They work hard, though, and hopefully will see that anything keeping them back is inside THEM.

Soft aspects can be hard, but the obstacles might not be so hard to get over. That's because there is better self esteem and these people might not feel like total failures at heart. There is good discipline and an organized manner they work or move up the social ladder. Generally law abiding citizens who are cautious.

Turn ons: someone who is organized, hard working, loyal and devoted. May be turned off by someone vulgar, dirty, or having a messed up life.



Mars-Uranus aspects: Certainly these people may get themselves into trouble whether they are consciously trying or not. Think of these people as the ones who have speeding problems and can't wait in traffic. There could be anger problems with anger coming suddenly and out of nowhere. Luckily, this is not the rage anger where it lingers on forever. On the other side, there may also be people who experience anger in a cold and aloof way as well. They may view anger as too emotional or irrational. Uranus can be either rational or irrational.

There is a lot of restless energy with any of the aspects. This can be used in anger, exercise, pacing around the room ( moving ), driving when angered, promoting a cause when restless, or working on creative projects when restless.

Stressful aspects may come into trouble with authority figures. It can range from rebelling against a teacher, getting a speeding ticket, or telling off one's supervisor. Or even robbing a bank or doing a criminal activity in the extreme. Stressful aspects indicate a drive or NEED almost to be free, independent and with no strings attached. When these people want their freedom, there is conflict. They almost fight for their freedom. There might be kicking and screaming involved. You might be able to tell which children have Mars-Uranus aspects too.

Soft aspects do have a need for freedom as well, but there isn't necessarily a conflict involved. Freedom comes naturally to them, but they also can find a balance as well. The balance is probably key as to why they aren't frequently in trouble.

However, either can be reckless when not careful or being absent minded.

Turn ons: intelligence, logic, creativity, humanitarianism, open mindedness, tolerance. Turn offs: ignorance, too many emotions, closed mindedness, intolerance, dullness, constriction.



Mars-Neptune aspects: An illusion is a delusion, right? There isn't so much anger problems with this aspect, but keep in mind if the same person with Mars-Neptune has Mars-Jupiter or Mars-Moon aspect, there could be anger associated with them. However, without all that jazz, Mars-Neptune indicates a person who is passive-aggressive, or passive in general. They may be afraid of vocalize their needs and wants; they have a hard time going after what they want and desire. This can cause problems in a career or in a relationship. SOME people with these aspects cheat in relationships because they cannot vocalize their needs or desires; in this case, they are not vocalizing what the partner is doing to upset them ( so they cheat instead ). Tiger Woods, I believe, has the opposition.

As children, they might have been bullied because they were too quiet or passive. So they perhaps come home and are mean and manipulative to their parents or other family members because of what happens at school.

When they actually do go for what they desire, they do so in an indirect and possibly manipulative manner. Sometimes they can't help it because that is their personality, but the fear of confrontation might lose them friends and lovers. If they are mad at a friend, they may talk behind the person's back instead of actually discussing the problem with the person they are angered at. Or if they don't want to see someone, they perhaps ignore the person without telling why.

Neptune is illusions and deception on its bad side. So there could be cheating OR wanting someone who is far away or deceiving THEM! They may want someone sexually who is far away, too ideal or doesn't want them. They see the person in rose colored glasses.

Mars-Neptune aspect people are nonetheless creative and romantic. They are restless. They are driven to create artwork, masterpieces, or even do PRACTICAL work with a creative twist. Exercising with music, eh? Or they can't exercise AT ALL without music.

Turn ons: creativity, larger than life person, spirituality, kindness, compassion. Turn offs: meanness, rudeness, dullness, practicality, black/white attitude.



Mars-Pluto aspects: People with Mars-Pluto aspects are sometimes talked about in darkness on Yahoo Answers. There is a fear about them. Sure, some of them are to be feared, but not all. Some people with these aspects are angry souls with resentfulness and bitterness inside of them. Their anger can be a rage and cruel.

However, there are many people in the world with Mars-Pluto aspects. Not all of them are cruel-minded and evil. Is there even an evil? Who knows? At any rate, there still can be bitterness and a cynical attitude. Try not to take it too personally; some people are just bitter and that's how they are.

In extreme instances, there are people with these aspects who are into torturing or dominating their sexual partner. They may really enjoy hurting their partners. In less extreme instances, they may just enjoy to dominate their partner, but do not enjoy hurting their partner ( or killing them. )

A good side to these people is that they can get absolutely anything done if they set their minds to it. A 5K when 15 lbs overweight? Doable. A project at work that is time consuming? Doable. Projects at home that require strength? Doable. Getting over societal obstacles? Doable.

There is a high sex drive here,but that doesn't mean they get it all the time or are sex freaks.

Turn ons: loyalty, transformation, sex, "darkness," taboo. Turn offs: weakness or at least vocalizing it
