The Basics

Mars symbolizes our desires, our energy levels, and how we take action. Mars is in "Domicile" in Scorpio - its natural placement, giving you a powerful will, an intense focus, and the ability to persevere through even the most difficult situations.

You are capable of laser-like concentration and tremendous discipline, and it is especially difficult to influence you once your mind is made up.  

Direct confrontation is not your preferred method; you like operating behind the scenes. You rely on sharp psychic senses to suss-out insecurities, weak spots, and hidden desires. You’re very calculating and often five steps ahead of everyone else, making sure that all bases are covered before others have the chance to make a move.

You may have possessive streak, causing you to be vengeful or manipulative if someone crosses you or threatens your sense of security. Your jealousy can be a double-edged sword, driving you to protect what is yours but also causing conflicts and betrayals.
