Mars conjunct Mars

You’re both up, both ready and both slightly annoyed that everyone else is taking so long. It’s a great relief to have found someone who moves at your speed.

You share the same drive and energy level, creating a powerful, action-oriented bond.

How a MatchMachine report sums up this aspect

A conjunction means one person’s Mars and the other person’s Mars are about 0 degrees apart. On its own it counts as neither harmonious nor challenging. What the labels mean.

A matched pace

Mars describes how you go after things. When two people’s Mars placements sit together, you tend to work up energy in the same way and to want things with about the same force. Whether that means a slow, stubborn push or a quick burst depends on the sign, and either way you’re doing it together.

That makes for an effective pair. You renovate, you train, you start the business. It also often means you agree on how often and how urgently you want each other, which is a topic plenty of couples have to work hard at.

When the fuel catches

Because you both respond in the same way, your irritation tends to rise at the same moment. If you both shout, you’ll shout together. If you both go cold, it can be a long, cold week. There’s no one in the room offering a different temperature.

Also, a shared drive doesn’t always have a shared aim. Point the two of you at the same goal and you’re formidable. Point you at different ones, or at each other, and you may find you’re in a contest neither of you remembers entering.

The art of stopping

Couples with this contact often need to plan for rest, as each person encourages the other to keep going. Check whether you’re both tired and neither wants to be the first to say so. Set up real goals you can work on together, with something physical in the week to burn off the surplus.

And decide who gets the final word on what, in advance. It saves many hours. If anger between you ever goes beyond heat into something that frightens either of you, that’s not a matter of matching energy, and it needs outside help.
