If Venus is what we love, Mars is how we get it. Mars is our willpower and how we assert ourselves. The headline is: “I want”. Mars is the principle of doing. He gets us out of bed each day and makes us go after what we want. The red planet is related to our courage, strength, and raw willpower. 

After all, Mars is the God of war and will fight if need be. But the style of his fight may vary, depending on the sign Mars is in. Meaning: It doesn’t have to always involve knives and blood; some people can fight with tears only.

Our Mars shows us where we’re willing to put ourselves in danger and take risks. Mars is also our will to survive – psychologically as well as physically. Mars reflects our approach to sexuality; what we find sexually exciting, as well as what others find hot about us.
