All About Mars
The time of revolution of Mars around the Zodiac is 687 days, and so the cycle lasts two years. During this time, Mars creates for the Sun all types of aspects recognized by astrologers. If you look at the model of the Solar System, you can see that it is closer to the Sun than the Earth, but farther than Mercury and Venus, which are located on the "astrological circle" near the Sun.
The historical definition of Mars
The mythological significance of this planet is associated with the god of war. In ancient astrology, Mars is considered a planet uniquely unfavorable, that is, malicious. He pointed to sudden and unpredictable events, most often associated with violence and force. In ancient astrology, Mars is war, fire, rebellion and the plague, that is, events that have a direct impact on human life. His hostility comes most likely from a fair remark that everything sudden and unexpected takes a person out of his usual rhythm, that is, is a source of stress and anxiety.
In modern astrology, Mars is associated with action, decision making, risk, as well as adrenaline and pressure. In the natal chart, he personifies strength, vitality and ability to concentrate. The Sun-Mars square in the synastry shows how a person works, how he achieves his own goals.
Mars is a human energy and a life force resource. An unfavorable planet shows that this force is used constructively, which puts a person in danger. This planet in its negative manifestation also means fever, injury, accident, use or indulgence in violence.
Influence and position of the sun
The sun in the natal chart indicates consciousness, the ego is what a person knows about himself and what he wants or can control. The sun belongs to the field of consciousness. Mars belongs to the sphere of motivation, the instinct of self-preservation. Its color is red, if you look closely at the people under the control of this planet, you can see how their eyes "fills with anger."
A good illustration is also the reflex of withdrawing a hand from a fire. Man does this instinctively. By the way, it is worth noting that the way people will behave in relation to the dangers directly threatening them is largely due to the spatial position of the square of the Sun and Mars in their natal chart. This shows how someone will be able to master the instinctive desire to flee and save their skin. It is not so easy to be a soldier, a fireman or a hero, it is not in vain that the professions associated with risk and danger to life lie in the zodiac of the planet Mars.
The influence of planets on the personality characteristics of man
Each person has Mars in his natal chart, everyone has instinct, a will, he takes action, tries to survive, therefore, even in boring everyday life, we face various problems. The transit of the Sun in a square with Mars in the natal chart indicates the features in accordance with which a person manifests certain character traits.
The position and aspects of Mars to the Sun show:
- a person feels strong or weak;
- how he concentrates on the appropriate chosen goal;
- how is risk perceived (is this a positive motivation or will it be stressful);
- how a person begins new business (on the initiative of his own or someone else's);
- how it reacts to danger (attacks or flees).
Health and well-being
When the owners of the Sun-Mars square cannot focus their attention on something and for objective reasons they are faced with the impossibility of action, they begin to struggle with themselves, thereby wasting their energy. If the energy flow of a warlike planet is not used, then it begins to work against its owner. This can lead to health problems, nervousness, and accidents. Diseases that appear in the owners of the Sun-Mars square: irritability, high blood pressure, circulatory disorders, headaches, impaired vision or hearing, cramps, fever, nerve diseases. People with these aspects can work in conditions of stress, noise, haste, but do not notice that they are ruining their health.
According to medical astrology, Mars is associated primarily with the head and eyesight. Its domain is eyes, ears and nose. He also controls the speed of reaction, the work of muscles. If Mercury in the natal chart indicates the speed of the internal reaction, then Mars indicates the speed of orientation in external conditions.
Perception of pain and weakness
In addition, in the individual natal chart, it is associated with pain and feelings. People with the tau-square Sun-Mars may not notice that they have crossed the boundaries of pain. It is known that hormones that are activated during stressful situations can temporarily drown out pain, which is a very important signal for the body that something bad is happening.
As a rule, the owners of such natal charts even try not to show physical weakness in front of themselves. Please note that this applies primarily to serious diseases. In the case of a dangerous disease, the average disk holder of the aspect of the Sun and Mars for a very long time pretends that nothing is happening, because it is most afraid of its own worthlessness and helplessness.
Fight fire with fire
The square of the Sun and Mars always carries with it aggression, which sooner or later is realized in the life of their owner by the manifestation of an individual action or in the form of environmental events that directly concern a person. "They wedge a wedge with a wedge, perish from a sword." Interestingly, such people, more likely, do not have the makings of a victim that potential attackers immediately feel.
It happens that the owner of such aspects lives in peace, but when there is a real danger, then to his own surprise he throws himself with his bare hands at the enemy. People with hard aspects in everyday life can pretend to be long, but the disclosure of their true strength (and most often anger) comes sooner or later.
The main general characteristics of people
The aspect of the Sun with Mars indicates that its owner:
- most likely an individualist;

- characterized by activity, constantly finds himself more and more new activities, he does not have downtime and rest;
- works fast, requires specific answers;
- can be passionate about sports, martial arts or weapons, drives a car sharply and quickly;

Aspects of the Sun with Mars in children's horoscopes
Such children have trouble sleeping and adapting to the rhythm of the rest of the household. In early childhood, it is difficult to fall asleep, if you miss a moment, you become angry and noisy.
Large children, as a rule, can become aggressive and naughty (even if their upbringing took place in a calm environment). In elementary school, they may show a tendency to fight. They easily adopt behavior patterns from father, important uncle, neighbor, policeman. In childhood, such a person begins to be interested in the topic of weapons, violence, the struggle for survival and a strong sense of self-difference from other peers. Under the influence of the tau square of Jupiter, the Sun and Mars have a tendency to individualism, therefore they can leave their parental home early because they want to live by their own rules.
The influence of the square in the horoscopes of women
Such women are not inclined to flirt. In relations with men, “yes” is yes, and “no” is a solid no. According to traditional astrology, women with the square of the Sun and Mars are too strong in character, conflicting, often argue with their partner. Astrologers often say that the animus of such a woman is struggling with the archetype of her father.
It is difficult to impress such a lady; she will not give up easily and will not fall under the will of others. Relations with men can be a problem because she does not agree to a traditional social role. This is especially evident at the age of 30, when the first circuit of Saturn ends. Much, of course, depends on the area of life in which Mars is realized in an individual horoscope. If women do not work and devote themselves only to the family, as a rule, sooner or later they will enter into some form of social activity, where they can receive additional recognition, which is extremely important for the owners of the tau square of Mars-Sun-Pluto. If this is prevented, then the energy of Mars will become suppressed and, as a rule, the struggle with a partner or family will begin.
As mothers, such women are very energetic, not sentimental, do not bow down over the weaknesses of the child, but also know how to protect loved ones from evil, the present and the imaginary at all costs.
Aspects of the Sun and Mars in the horoscopes of men
In male horoscopes, such a connection is much easier and better. A man adequately perceives the environment, although ancient astrologers wrote about the smoldering thirst for violence, the ability to fencing, and good military abilities in such a person’s heart. Mars is a natural male energy, the owners of its square with the Sun are always trying to take on the role of a guide of the whole society. In addition, men with the tau-square Sun-Moon-Mars are popular with women (even if they do not have a very attractive appearance).
Mars (as a planet of war) is hierarchical in the sense that it requires a clear definition of who rules and who listens. This becomes clear when two gentlemen sit in the same room with the Sun-Mars conjunction: they must determine who is stronger, to some extent one is better than the other. Smart men divide common territories into spheres of influence, where each individual Mars can demonstrate its abilities, boast of achievements and gain the respect of the other.
