Desire, Energy and Action

MARS, the planet of desire, dynamic energy, competition, aggressiveness, anger, and sexual vitality shows the urge and energy to accomplish, build and progress. Where Mars is in our chart we will try hard, and often work and earn money, so we can meet the challenge of economic competition. It is here we are willing to fight for what we want, and through the intense experience of dealing with our desire nature, we can potentially learn to transmute Desire into aligned Will and healing Power.

By transit or in other predictive charts, Mars shows us whatmayfind ourselves in will get stirred up, challenged or cause us to deal with our aggressive human nature. Adolescent Mars tempts us to initiate action, perhaps too quickly here, causing confrontational or sexually enticing situations that call for a more mature restraint.
