The Basics

Mars symbolizes our desires, our energy levels, and how we take action. If your Mars is in Aries, you have an assertive and energetic approach to life. You are independent and self-reliant, always willing to take the initiative and be a leader. You are passionate and enthusiastic about your goals and tend to act on your impulses without much forethought. 

You have a competitive nature and enjoy taking risks, making you a natural born leader and a force to be reckoned with. You are brave and not afraid to take on challenges or confrontations, and you tend to have a quick temper when provoked. Mars is in "Domicile" in Aries - its natural placement, giving you a burst of energy, passion, and the courage to take risks and fight for what you want. You are a trailblazer and a pioneer, always seeking new adventures and pushing yourself to your limits.

You can be impulsive and self-centered at times, focusing only on your own desires and needs. You can also become impatient when things don't move as quickly as you would like them to. You are not afraid to break the rules or go against convention, which can make you a bit of a rebel or maverick in your social circles.

*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.
