Mars, the god of warriors, rules physical energy
and efforts. His placement in your chart expresses the
strength and direction of the physical force that drives
your ego. Mars fires your emotions, but also powers your
mental endeavours and communicative skills. The red
planet governs energy, strength, courage, life force and
expansion.

Mars describes male relationships and associations, risk-
taking inclinations, and the physical challenges you are
likely to encounter. Well-placed, Mars endows powerful
energy and an indomitable will to succeed, but when
poorly placed can mean accidents, injuries or other forms
of violence, according to the inclinations of the sign and
house concerned.

From a romantic point of view, Mars in a woman's chart
shows the most desired kinds of men, whilst his placement
in a man's chart indicates the activities or mode of action
undertaken in pursuit of romantic inclinations and desires.

In ancient mythology, Venus, the beautiful love
goddess, was always getting up to something with
Mars, the fierce god of war. None of the other gods
could ever work out what the lovely Venus saw in the
headstrong, arrogant Mars, but she certainly fancied
him, no matter what anyone else said or thought.
