The Basics

Mars symbolizes our desires, our energy levels, and how we take action. If your Mars is in Capricorn, you have an ambitious and driven approach to life. You are highly disciplined and responsible, with a strong sense of duty and commitment. You are practical and resourceful, always looking for the most efficient and effective way to achieve your goals.

Mars is "exalted" in Capricorn; this placement increases the power of Mars in your chart and all of the themes of which Capricorn represents with regard to how you take action (Mars).

Success is critical to you and your identity, and your actions serve your ambitions for power, recognition, distinction, and status.  There is a natural shrewdness and instinct for business or organizational management.    You are apt to be slow in learning, but eventually, there is a total assimilation of knowledge, a mastery of a field. 

You are not content to follow but must have a leading role in whatever you do.  If not handled well, the energies of this placement can make you appear ruthless, manipulative, and bull-dozing over anyone who stands in your way.  

You are efficient, tenacious, organized, dedicated, practical, disciplined, and steadfast in your resolve to feel successful.  Your drive and energy are directed toward practical material accomplishment and achieving concrete results, theories don't impress you.

You are hard-working and capable of foregoing immediate comfort in order to achieve your long-range goals.  You can easily become a workaholic and are responsible and conscientious about doing a thorough job.  

Your energy is carefully used, and you rely on your own efforts and perseverance rather than luck or good fortune.  You don't tend to gamble when implementing your plans but generally prefer the conservative, tried-and-true route and follow through with it.  While you are capable of taking risks, you prefer to do so in a calculated and strategic manner.

Cosmodynes

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores to see whether your Mars is Harmonious or Discordant.

In our AI model, Mars is considered a Malefic - everyone starts out with a (discordant) negative score and harmony points are added from this base configuration if applicable.  It is perfectly normal to have a negative score.

(As we age, we learn to deal with all of our discordant placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)

Transits to your Mars, especially from the outer planets, can greatly affect its expression as well.

Relationships

If you have Mars in Capricorn, you may approach relationships with a sense of caution and reserve. You value stability and security, and may seek a partner who is practical, responsible, and shares your long-term goals.

Your approach to love and intimacy may be serious and traditional, with a desire for commitment and loyalty. You may struggle with expressing your emotions and opening up emotionally to your partner, but once you feel comfortable and secure, you can be a devoted and dependable partner.

In conflict situations, you may be prone to using power or control to dominate the situation, which can create tension in your relationships. It is important for you to learn how to communicate assertively while also being open to compromise and alternative perspectives.
