* What Does Mars Represent in Your Natal Chart? What is it ... and why is it important?

by Rebecca Brents

Red is Mars' color!!

The symbol of force and power

Mars, fiery red, the favorite prop of science fiction legend, named for the intense, passionate mythological god of war, is the astrological metaphor which symbolizes an individual's capacity to take action, show independence and self-assertion, pursue goals and ambitions, use physical and sexual energy, and exert his force and willpower in situations of competition and conflict.

Whereas Venus energy is more inclined to attract desires passively -- waiting for an opportunity to come along, or for someone else to make the first move, Mars energy pursues its desires aggressively, often with a bluntness and zeal that is embarrassingly direct.

When it is comfortable and expressing positively, Mars energy is adventurous, ambitious, dynamic and courageous. When it is uncomfortable and stressed, Mars energy is impatient, angry, irritable and aggravating. Along with the Sun, Mars describes the way a person shows leadership, promotes himself and his aspirations, and expresses the masculine energy in his (or her) character.

* Born with the Sun in Aries -- The Aries Character ---> Aries is the Spring Fire Sign ---> Direct and to the point ---> Passion is never a problem for Aries. Nor is self-assertion.

Whoever first said, "Lead, follow or get out of the way," was an Aries through and through.

* The New Moon in Aries -- Aries Energy in the Creative Process ---> The place of new beginnings ---> With the arrival of Aries we have indeed arrived again at the place of our beginnings, having traveled another cycle on the spiral of the creative process ... from the initial thrust of new efforts and undertakings in dynamic, assertive Aries last year to the spiritual enlightenment, dissolution, acceptance, and release of Pisces last month.

About Mars
From the Blogs and Ezines

From EDA: Mars ---> Red is a Mars color!! ---> Everyday Astrology February 6, 2020 Mars ---> In Roman mythology, Mars was the God of War, ranked second only to Jupiter, the King of the Gods. To follow the symbolism, once you have enough individual power to assert yourself and affect your surroundings, and enough abundance to feed and support yourself, and the assurance that you deserve to be here, you can turn your attention to other matters.
