Mars in the signs and houses

In the signs

Mars in Aries

You flare up instantly and say it to their face. Ten minutes later you have forgotten; the other person has not. Waiting and enduring are not for you.

Mars in Taurus

You take a long time to get going, but once pushed too far you cannot be stopped. You get your way by wearing the other down. You explode rarely and frighteningly.

Mars in Gemini

You argue with words and usually win. Anger comes out as barbs. You take up several things at once and drop half of them.

Mars in Cancer

You do not attack head-on — you take offence and fall silent. But when your own people are touched, you act decisively and without hesitation. You store anger up.

Mars in Leo

You act broadly and in the open. Touching your pride is a sure way to trouble. Small jabs you let pass; public humiliation, never.

Mars in Virgo

Sloppiness and shoddy work irritate you. Anger comes out as fault-finding. You get your way by thoroughness, not by force.

Mars in Libra

You avoid open conflict and then go over for a long time what you ought to have said. You store it up until it breaks. You get your way by agreement, not by force.

Mars in Scorpio

You do not shout — you fall silent in a way that makes people uneasy. You strike once and exactly. You remember a slight for a long time.

Mars in Sagittarius

You flare up loudly and cool quickly. You tell the truth to their face and regret it afterwards. Plenty of energy, little staying power.

Mars in Capricorn

You do not lose your temper — you plan. You go slowly and you arrive. You hide irritation so well that nobody guesses you are furious.

Mars in Aquarius

You rise against pressure even when agreeing would be easier. You act in bursts: nothing for a long while, then everything at once.

Mars in Pisces

You avoid a head-on clash — you slip away. You turn anger on yourself or disappear into fog. You get your way not by force but by being pitied.

In the houses

Mars in the 1st house

You go straight through and visibly. Irritation shows at once — you cannot hide it.

Mars in the 2nd house

You fight for what is yours in earnest. Slow but stubborn: once you take it on, you finish it.

Mars in the 3rd house

You argue willingly and strike more accurately with a word than with a fist. Pointless talk irritates you.

Mars in the 4th house

Your anger most often falls on the household. Yet you stand up for your own without thinking twice.

Mars in the 5th house

Excitement is your fuel. Rivalry and risk fire you up more than calm work.

Mars in the 6th house

You work a lot and are irritated by other people’s sloppiness. You are the last to notice you are tired.

Mars in the 7th house

Your energy wakes up next to another person. Quarrels in a couple are frequent for you but not fatal.

Mars in the 8th house

You fight for what you consider yours by right. In a crisis you gather rather than fall apart.

Mars in the 9th house

You argue about convictions and do not give way. You are drawn where you can move and take risks.

Mars in the 10th house

At work you push hard and aim upward. People see you as someone who gets there.

Mars in the 11th house

You fight more readily for a common cause than for your own. In company you take the place of the one who starts things.

Mars in the 12th house

You hide anger and turn it inward. You act covertly and dislike explaining what you are up to.
