emotional self-sabotage of the moon signs

aries moons are just as scared of expressing their more gentle emotions that make them vulnerable as aquarius/capricorn/scorpio but they feel anger is an emotion that makes you empowered, not vulnerable, so they often channel every single feeling they have into aggression, rage that can often appear infantile, and thick-skinned hostility. they’re the definition of “looks angry, is actually sad and hurt”. there’s a lot of difficulty in admitting their vulnerability even to themselves.

taurus moon understand people really well but pretend they often end up pretending they don’t understand because they are very protective of themselves and they consider every point of view that’s different from their own to be a threat to their stable and comfortable way of life. that’s why they shut off their natural inclination to be understanding of others and choose, sometimes without even realizing it fully, a lifestyle for themselves that rarely changes, therefore has little room for improvement.

gemini moons create all by themselves so much noise in their heads and hearts just so they can run away from things like commitment, emotions, making choices and knowing what they want. they seek stimulation from various sources all the time so they can be able to switch their focus from their emotional world to…idk, something supposedly more interesting but actually just less scary for them. they use their incessant inner monologue to talk over the voice of their real feelings.

cancer is a peculiar archetype - it’s associated with both the mother and the baby. this shows in cancer moons as an inner indecision which role to take - the nurturer or the nurtured. in the first case, they might feel as if they don’t receive enough love. in the second, they might feel as if they don’t give enough love. that’s why it’s important to remember you can be both and that maturity is often connected to learning how to implement and appreciate ambiguity. other people might make it hard for you too, expecting you to be either baby or a mom person for their peace of mind they find through simplicity, and you may internalize those expectations.

leo as an archetype needs outside validation. or, best case scenario, they don’t need it, they just feel really good when they get it. leo suns often have a natural inclination for attracting attention but leo moons have trouble doing that. they really need praise and appreciation to be happy with anything they do but also they don’t know how to ask for it and feel that if they somehow called forward the appraisal, it’s actually not genuine and given to them out of pity or smth. so they’re often stuck in situations where they can’t really say what they want and count on other ppl to guess it.

virgo moons… actually i have absolutely no fkn idea. like that’s the thing with you guys, you’re so damn secretive. i mean everyone knows capricorn and scorpio are hiding stuff so they’re obvsly not so good at doing it, but you? you really just don’t believe people can understand most of your inner world and you have disillusioned yourself to the point of just believing no one will ever be good enough to comprehend you, that’s why it’s best to pretend there’s nothing to understand in order to make annoying ppl stop trying and let you be.

libra moons are some of the most adapting ppl but this leaves them with a suppressed anger that others dont adapt enough and always demand more flexibility from them. they might end up feeling chronically dissatisfied in their relationships because of this. they’re often switching between extremeties like “it’s all my fault, i am probably really selfish and horrible cuz i did this one thing for myself four years ago” and “you never did enough, i am always so considerate and thoughtful and you’re not at all”. it’s hard to reach balance in that state of mind and that’s what libra is all about after all.

scorpio moons really just need peace but keep starting drama. the intensity of their emotions just really doesn’t leave them much choice, there’s just a natural inclination to control and hide the power of their feelings, but when you do that systematically there is a specific kind of pressure building up inside that demands to be let out in some way. so scorpio moons, unwilling to show how DEEPLY they’re feeling but at the same time needing an outlet of the tension inside, stir up dramatic and extreme situations that they don’t really need to be in. and this disrupts the peace they need in order to express their emotions properly and build some trust.

sagittarius moon is very similar to gemini, after all they’re opposite signs. the difference here is that while gemini moon uses the internal monologue to avoid things, sag uses other people for the same purpose. when they don’t wanna face something, they just get lost in other people’s internal monologues, odd as it is. or in philosophy, or some sort of art or science, something to study in depth. I’ve noticed it’s quite common for sagittarius moons to have people around them that try to make them pay attention to the parts of themselves they’re avoiding. and they just love to argue with said people in order to prove how they’re not avoiding anything at all and they’re just ruining everything.

capricorn moon culture is caring so much about some things that you totally suppress your care and come out as completely uncaring and freezingly cold so you have to pretend to care about shit you don’t care about in order to appear at least a tad bit caring - as you really are. like you gotta fake who you really are cuz you can’t show it truthfully cuz it’s too much if you know what i mean. so you end up expressing real traits of your character but in a fake way and this confuses you emotionally even further.

aquarius moons are the most fragile ones imo. they’ve usually had a detached mother figure that didn’t provide them the attention they needed and didn’t really trust their feelings. that’s why it’s difficult for them to trust someone with their vulnerabilities. yet they really crave the type of intimacy that comes by sharing the sensitive parts of you - and let me tell you aquarius moons are really sensitive. so their reaction when they’re in a rut and realize they wish they could share why they’re upset to someone is to detach. to just run away somewhere, close themselves in their cage and deal with this on their own. they want someone to show them they care but every attempt of doing so may feel like an intrusion to the safety of detachment.

pisces moons are basically a bundle of self-sabotaging mechanisms. honestly it may really take a while with this moon to figure out which mechanism started where and how it intertwines with another and cancels a third one and so on. they’re both detached from their feelings - yes they are - and very emotional, both deeply emotionally intelligent and kind of dumb with feelings. they know what they feel but they don’t if it’s them feeling it or someone else. it’s basically a mess of contradictions and they must implement some strict routine of introspection, meditation or some form of creating art in order to receive the clarity they so desperately need.

/this was originally just a rant exposing my capricorn moon ass but i started thinking about similar mechanisms working with the rest of the moon signs and this happened lmao/

Chart Overlay Series (Pt. 2)

Moon in your Partner’s Houses 

Other than synastry compatibility based off aspects, and of course planets and asteroids, astrology has much more depth in compatibility. In a synastry chart overlay, one person’s natal birth chart is layered on top of another person’s chart to show how your signs, planets, and houses work together. Especially where their planets are in your chart. It’s this that explains why rising signs are so important, you can still use this if you don’t know their time, but you’ll need to know at least one person’s time. You of course will have more understanding with both rising signs. The point is to see where their/your planet falls in your/their chart and the specific house, to see the influence it has on your relationship and bond. Remember to take both combinations of yours and theirs together. If you don’t know their rising and therefore their houses, look at their planets in your houses for now. These are the characteristic of their/your moon, in your/their house (it’s where you guys are emotional invested):

Your moon in their First

Both of you become blended together like the finest paints on a canvas, as you guys have a intuitive bond. Both of you emotionally click really well and often feel “bonded” because you both can feel out each other’s emotions. It’s so strong that your moods can affect each other, it almost acts likes a Pisces moon (receptiveness). Due to these similarities and that connection, you guys may often want to spend time together because of the familiarities present between you two. The house person feels very at home with the moon person, and often finds emotional security together. Home life and daily life plays well for you two. This is usually common overlay amongst married couples. Not only will their be a nice bond, but if the moon person is the man, they’ll be a strong connection for him. 

Your moon in their Second 

Having this overlay indicates a deep feeling of emotional security and safety for the house person. The house person will still be helpful towards the moon person, but it’s really the moon person who wants to provide security. Even with financial security. Both of you share many values and interest, but can be jealous and possessive about each other. You can build the house person’s self-esteem and they may need you so much or love you so, they’ll become protective. Ambition grows here as does sensuality. 

Your moon in their Third 

This kind of acts like if your mercury signs were to conjunct; you both share same ideals and understand what the other is thinking. You guys will have an array of conversations; you may tend to converse about things associating with the sign of the moon and the sign ruling their 3rd. The mental stimulation is strong here, but make sure you have overlays, aspects, or/and planet compatibly that helps build romantic dynamic. Nonetheless, the house person will be able to talk about their emotions with them and even get along with the people in the moon person’s life. The moon person knows how to use their words to coax the emotions of the house person. The moon person may also become emotional vulnerable, as they’ll be sensitive as to what the house person can say or even do. 

Your moon in their Fourth 

Just like the sun with this overlay, you guys feel at home with each other. Both of you are supportive and nurturing towards each other. There may be a chance of connecting to the sense that you guys had the same type of childhood, or one that can make you guys relate to each other. This overlay is really good for marriages, and amazing in friendships. The moon person knows how to make the house person feel emotionally safe, therefore it builds trust. While the house person feels so close, they can even imagine a future with kids together. It makes a strong bond that usually doesn’t want to separate; it feels like home and reminds each other about family. 

Your moon in their Fifth 

This is a very romantic partnership when other aspects allow, as this overlay allows sparks of romance and playfulness. Everything that the fifth house represents is enjoyed greatly between you two; romance, dating, creativity, self-expression, and even children. You guys can actually want children together. It’s an extremely colorful and vibrant overlay, because it’s very supportive when it comes to expressing yourself creatively but intimate even one on one. This is another indicator of long-lasting romance and emotional attachment. The house person’s want for pleasure is stimulated and often depends on the moon person for emotional support, they love being at the center of their attention. While the moon person can be protective of the house person, only wanting to be the one to please the house person. To make them happy and to be the one by their side, not to watch another by the house person. 

Your moon in their Sixth 

This acts a lot like the overlay of their sun being in the sixth, of course with a lot more emotional depth. The problem with this house is there isn’t much focus on romance, but just the daily chores, health, and work routine. Love can still blossom here but it’s almost acts like a late bloomer at times. If you have a weak natal sixth house with no planets and/or a iffy sign to have it in, your partner’s planets can really help you. It’s really supportive and gets you on your feet and that emotional help can create a bond of gratefulness. If it helps, it adds a sense of maturity to a relationship, which can help trine relationships between fire signs since the passion and excitement can be blinding. 

Your moon in their Seventh 

This is another overlay common in marriages, as the house person sees you as their ideal mate and loves how you carry out your emotions. It’s a very intuitive bond between you guys and since it’s so strong, you guys can have emotional ups and downs. A long term relationship can happen but if it goes wrong, it can get nasty. This is also good for business partnerships and creating work together. After all partnership isn’t necessarily always a romantic aspect. Both of you can be sensitive towards each other, but the beautiful thing is you both feel attractive around each other. It’s a very emotionally tuned match where you guys always know what the other feels, having experienced this I feel like the house person can have the ability to do this more. 

Your moon in their Eighth 

The eighth house is about extremes and when the moon is here, well it’s nothing but extreme, and this is not to be taken lightly. The house person can feel suffocated or flattered. The moon person begins acting like a Scorpio moon; they have strong desires for the house person, they want to dig deeper, control, become jealous, and become intensely attached. The moon person deeply and intensely, is attracted and magnetized to the house person. In fact when things get shaky, the displays of their relationship can be dramatic and scenic. It will always be a bond of tight-knitted lovers or toxic enemies. It’s blinding, challenging, but sweetly and painfully intoxicating. If handled well, it can work but you have to be careful with this overlay. Just being friends might not even work, you guys are hauntingly attracted to each other. 

Your moon in their Ninth 

Both of you have the same ideas, strengths, and beliefs. Since the ninth house is home of Jupiter, optimism, happiness, and expansion blossoms between you guys. This is another indication of someone who can be your traveling partner but at the same time you need other aspects for something more romantic and sizzling to blossom. The beautiful and unbeatable thing? Your values, interest, and goals will compliment each other in the long run. Both of you feel good together and experience life together with everything it offers, the moon person is very supportive and the house person helps the moon person expand their horizons. Both of you will have fun together in life and create some sort of intellectual rapport as well. 

Your moon in their Tenth 

Admiration blossoms here, often the moon person can idealize the house person a lot, as they often feel proud when they’re seen in public. There’s a lot of mutual respect here and at some point, you guys can even work together. This is more prominent if the moon person is the girl, as the moon person is extremely supportive and helps the moon person with their career. Of course this is just as sweet when the moon person is the guy. The problem with this is that their relationship, including their downfalls and crisis, can become very public. The moon person may also feel like their image is protected by the house person. It makes you two very supportive of each other. 

Your moon in their Eleventh 

This is actually a very nice place for the moon to be in for synastry. You guys view each other as equals and hit it off right away; you guys instantly like each other and merge groups together. Both of you are very supportive of each other and become great friends; it’s like dating your best friend. Both of you are accepting to each other and love spending time together, blossoming a sense of familiarity. You guys even encourage each other to reach goals and grow socially. This can actually create a long-term relationship despite this being the house of friendship.  

Your moon in their Twelfth 

The intensity of emotional connection is strong here, as you guys always know what the other is feeling. Since it’s so eerily strong and potent, the house person can feel uncomfortable and fearful they’ll get hurt. Since the 12th house ties with karma, it can bring out a “soulmate” or an “enemy” feeling. One of them could feel the need to confine in each other or save each other, but the saving part comes more strongly for the moon person. The moon person can deeply hurt the house person, or they can live together like if they were in a fairytale. There’s a deep connection residing here.

MARS: GOD OF WAR

The planet that represents action, passion, sex, and desire! It is important to understand this placement when you want to learn about your drive to obtain your heart’s desire. Where Venus speaks of romance, Mars speaks of sex and aggression behind closed doors. Mars rules Aries and Scorpio so it’s essential to think of these two sign’s qualities when thinking of Mars. Both signs are passionate and bold. Scorpio is more mysterious, while Aries is more evidentiary of how they feel about you. People with Mars in Scorpio will be more secretive about pursuing a love interest, while Aries mars will not be afraid to show you they are chasing you. If you’re looking for love or want to be a better love partner, tap into your Mars sign. You cannot obtain a love interest without using your Mars sign to get what you want. If you are struggling to make moves or shoot your shot, your mars sign might be the reason why. Signs that are more careful or stubborn about making moves would be, for example, Cancer or Taurus. Whether you are a passive or aggressive type of person, Mars lets you know. Learning about this placement can really help you guide your life to go in the right direction. If you struggle with pursuing what you want, you might want to read about your Mars sign and figure out ways you can improve. The energy of mars is intense because it is a physical placement. It’s hot and sweaty, like doing cardio or having sex. Where the moon is emotional, mars is all about the physical pleasures of life. Mars gives you the courage to do what you set out to do. It can be also how you get angry and go about showing your passionate side whether it be sexual or non-sexual. What ticks you off and how do you react to it, are you impulsive or think things through? Mars is also about survival and how you ensure living through chaos. It is said that our Mars sign is the leftover of our animalistic nature out in the wild and how we would do in battle. Mars is ambition, drive, intensity, impulsion, determination and comes in every range of the spectrum, from mild to extreme. When you want something really bad and will do nothing to stop and get it, this is your Mars sign at work. 

Mars in Aries: The most positive signs for Mars, you are naturally strong, aggressive, and dominant. Depending on your sun sign, you can be impulsive and a thrill seeker. You are intelligent and decisive with your goals so you’re always actively pursuing something you have set out to do. Adventurous, you like to involve yourself in physical demanding activities. Your stamina is very high so you have to find ways to exert all that energy somewhere otherwise you may feel frustrated at home. You can be argumentative and really know how to debate a person. People are too scared to go against you because they know you have a hot temper. Try to tone it down sometimes and let others speak if there is an argument so both sides can be heard. You’re an honest person so you always speak from the heart and are extremely passionate. However, you sometimes are only involved with your thoughts and opinions, you can be impatient, and want to quickly move on while others are still pondering and processing. For the most part you are naturally confident and carry yourself all knowing. You like to teach people what you know but are also willing to learn. Adaptation is easy for you since you like to overcome obstacles and challenges, otherwise life is too boring. Depending on your sun/moon signs you may be a calm Aries mars or a loose cannon that starts fights wherever they go. Ultimately, you are not afraid to stand up for yourself or others. You have a big heart and will stop at nothing to get who and what you want.

Mars in Taurus: The most sensual of all the signs, you need all your senses to be heightened in order to receive full pleasure. Slow and steady, you chase your dreams at your own pace. You are very practical about the things you pursue so you may take your time ensuring that you are making the right choice. This is what makes you dependable and reliable, because you know what is best for everyone involved. However, this also makes you stubborn because you are not open to seeing anyone else’s point of view. You are extremely stuck in your ways and you might find that this is the reason people are frustrated with you. Impatient, quick-witted types won’t do well with you unless they learn to compromise to your needs, but it’s you who needs to be more open to others. On the contrary, whatever you have set out to do, you will do all the hard work that is required. As the Venusian Taurus, comfort, stability, and everything aesthetically pleasing is essential to you. Finances won’t be an issue since they are detrimental to your lifestyle of wanting to settle down and build a home. This is your strong suit because things that require discipline and focus is where you excel. You’re an honest, confident individual that walks with integrity. You may be hungry for sex because you have a strong appetite for it. You may feel shame for having such a high sex drive because it can often times get you into trouble and have any meaningless hookups that aren’t good for your soul. Learning to control your urges is important because letting your life be controlled by sex is never good. In a relationship, finding someone who allows you to express your sexual urges is key otherwise you will feel suppressed.  And once you do find that connection and are in a relationship, you are the most loyal and trustworthy. Overall, Mars in Taurus are sensual, practical, and need patience from those around them. 

Mars in Gemini: Quick witted and easily bored, the mind of this Gemini is ever changing and constantly searching for something new and exciting. In sex and love, you need constant stimulation otherwise no one has a chance with you. It is important that you don’t commit to anyone until you know for sure that you will be loyal to them. You can flirt more than most and don’t get attached easily so it’s likely that you may be roaming from acquaintance to acquaintance never being fully satisfied. However, when one thing does peek your interest, there’s no stopping you from going after it. A natural debater, you love to argue and thrive in situations of chaos where you have to put your mind to work and brainstorm a solution. You are intellectually competitive and care more about what people know rather than who they know. Your mind is an erogenous zone for you so you can get turned on by the words of people and in turn, use your words as your choice of weapon as well. Sex is a fun activity for you, with usually no strings attached, and you’re willing to try anything or anyone just once. It’s easy for you to ask for what you want, but hard for you to tap into your emotions since you think with your mind and less with your heart. For you, it is important that you stop and smell the roses every now and then because of how quick you are always moving. This can also make you appear cynical, irritable, and/or aggressive. You do need attention from a partner and it’s the partner that mixes poetry + lovemaking that will truly win your heart.

Mars in Cancer: Since the moon rules Cancer and Mars gets along with the moon, there is an evident friendly vibe with the two. This Cancer makes a home and uses the Martian energy to protect their safe haven and loved ones. So far as going overboard to do the most when it comes to protecting your loved ones that it might come off abrasive to others. You can be over sensitive and manipulate people to get what you want, but this is only when you feel threatened. Contrary to most Cancers, in this placement you actually value your physical energy vs. your emotional strength so you may be more physically active through body and soul. Where you struggle, however, is fully expressing yourself because of how intense your emotions can be and you might feel like no one can handle them. So you may repress unwanted anger which can lead to health problems, such as digestion. Crying can help with releasing the tension. In love, sex and love go hand in hand for you so may tend to fall in love with people that you sleep with even if they’re no good for you. You want to be showered with love and affection so you may have multiple sources of people who make you feel this. You don’t make moves unless you are secure of the outcome. But you know what you want and that’s usually the most secure option so choosing for you is not hard. This is why you work better alone since you like to be in control of the situation. Your imagination runs high but try not to use it to imagine worse case scenarios. Overall, you are intuitive, passionate, secretive. You use these traits to best show how you love and how you would want to be loved in return. 

Mars in Leo: The world is your stage! This Leo is passionate and shows their love in a dramatic manner. You enjoy being the trophy partner and/or want your significant other to be the trophy, parading them as something only you can have. You want someone you can show off and be in the spotlight with. The way you treat others is how you want to be treated, so expect a lot of attention and generosity from this Leo. All you want to do is be showered with love and affection and vice versa! Your ego is big and you get insecure when people mess with it so you may struggle with your pride getting in the way when it comes to pursuing what you want. Romance is important to you so your partner never has to worry about you being disloyal because you are extremely faithful. You want to be praised and admired for everything you do, especially when it comes to sex and romance. However, be careful to not let your wants and needs undermine those of people you love, their desires matter too. You are irresistibly charming but it is important to not let it get to your head and understand you can’t just do whatever you want without facing repercussions. People who lack drama and pizzaz will bore you way too quickly because you need excitement in your life. You are not afraid to show your emotions in public, whether it be crying, laughing, or fighting. New loves are exciting to you so if you feel the spark has died with a current partner you will most likely pursue a new fling. You can be possessive and jealous as those are both dramatic traits which you find enthralling. Overall, your ego can be too much for someone but learning how to balance it and finding someone who understands it is what makes you happy.

Mars in Virgo: This is the mind of a naturally scatter brained person. Like Gemini, you usually have lots of things going on to keep your mind busy, you can blame that on Mercurial influences. In love, you are no different, you need to be of service to your partner in order to feel satisfied. You take on more than you can handle but in the end you always get shit done. Logical and disciplined, you set out to accomplish all goals. You become difficult when you are annoyed thus making you stubborn and critical of yourself and others. Your mind is nervous and restless so it is hard for you to decipher your emotions. Jobs in public health are where you can perform best since you like helping others. You are a subtle romantic because you can be quite shy and only like to shine in front of your partner. Whoever cuffs you up is lucky because you will make sure they have everything they need. People normally associate Virgo placements to be picky but here you actually like people with imperfections because you want to help them improve. You don’t really go for types that get a lot of attention because it’s not something you’re equipped to handle. You like people that are quiet, sensitive, and clean. Also not a fan of one night stands and casual sex because you’d rather wait to be with the right person before performing acts of sex. Virgo mars are extremely sensual and curious but they only show this side of themselves with someone they are in it for the long haul. You are devoted in your love affairs and have high standards. Usually you are right and give the best advice but it is important to not constantly boast about this. Health is important to you so you will go out of your way to stay healthy. Yoga is a common practice with this placement as it helps you center your mind and feel at ease. 

Mars in Libra: The ever so hard to resist natural charm that comes from Libra is most evident in this placement since it is shown in their pursuit of love. There is a regal presence within you that everyone loves to admire and watch from afar. People tend to treat you well because of this. You’re all about peace and harmony when it comes to confrontations so you may struggle with saying no or speaking up for yourself. Dislike rude and vulgar people, you are turned off by obsequious types. You might choose the sneaky route and hide the truth from people if it means there’s no conflict. However, this usually bites you in the butt because when people do find out the truth it causes more of a disruption. On the contrary, you are great at solving problems that are not yours, acting as a mediator coming up with a compromise for the conflict. You are usually better with other people’s concerns instead of your own. You are likely to accommodate your partner and want someone to adore but can lose sight of your own desires because of them. Sex for you is not the most important thing so you may need to be motivated by your partner in order to get the mood going. Being subtle is usually how you go about romance so like Taurus you take your time to chase what you want, especially since you can be picky, even more than Virgo. On the contrary, you can be manipulative to get what you want since you don’t like to speak up. Even though you claim to be a lover and not a fighter, you still cause drama. When it comes to choosing a relationship you are picky almost thinking that no one is perfect enough. However, you may also have love affairs since it’s hard for you to say no to anyone that comes on to you regardless. Notice why the term “two faced” for Libra is constantly used. They say they want one thing but act on another. No shade, Libra! 

Mars in Scorpio: This Scorpio loves a good challenge when it comes to matters of love. You are very determined to pursue what you want. Whether you want to show that to your love interest or not is entirely up to you. You are a quiet opponent making silent moves but once you go after who/what you want, it’s yours for good. Not really being one to show how you feel as you put on a calm exterior even though you are a seething pool of emotion. Because of this, you are a very intense, passionate lover and know how to hold it down like no other. If you come off possessive it’s because you care a lot about your loved ones and are afraid of losing them. Common fear. Your loyalty is undying as it is hard for you to open up so when you do choose the right people you want them to know it’s forever. Of course some relationships may end but Scorpio mars wants a forever and not a maybe. Your intuition is at its highest and you use this to your advantage whether good or bad. You can tell how a person feels just from reading the room. The mars energy is evident when you show that you’re persistent, strong willed, sensual, and masterful. On the negative side, you can be unforgiving, hold on to the grudges, and be vengeful. If someone does you wrong they are going to RUE the day they ever did. You might end them with a simple ghost or you might make sure that they feel how they made you feel. But on the positive side, you’re very aware of your emotions and want to share them with someone. In the bedroom, whoever is with you is one of the luckiest persons because you truly know how to please your partner with your touch and tender soul. You’re a complex individual and people need to be compassionate towards that. You may fall in love easily just because you’re passionate and want to snatch souls. Learn to direct your self discipline by achieving practical matters and you will come out stronger. 

Mars in Sagittarius: With a natural drive for optimism and adventure, you like to sign up for anything that is fun and exciting. You’re a passionate person and act on your feelings impulsively. Whatever feels good in the moment you go with. You usually dive into things without looking at their consequences because what’s the fun in that? However, Jupiter always has your back with luck so things usually work out for you even if you leap without looking. Eventually your impulsive tendencies will hold you back because you have to learn to be responsible at some point. In love affairs, the person who has your interest is flattered because you’re quite the catch and they’re wondering what they did to grab your attention. Your attention is not easily grabbed and you can go from person to person just to feel somewhat entertained. You want a partner who lets you do whatever you want so you seek types that are open minded and easy going. This is important for your well being because not everyone understands that relationships can function unconventionally, just like Aquarius. Extremely philosophical, you’d rather learn through experience than being confined to a desk or a chair. You hold your standards of intellect very high and can hold others to the same by wanting to convince them that you know better. This can come off as over bearing and not everyone is interested in being enlightened as much as you are. Physically you have a lot of steam to let out so physical activity is important for your health. Overall, you are confident, enthusiastic, and spontaneous and your happy go lucky attitude will get you very far in life and attract the right people that will benefit you in the long run. 

Mars in Capricorn: Quite possibly one of the most hard working signs. Think of Capricorn but with a fire lit to help their already driven self. You are orderly and subdued and like to be in control. Naturally goal oriented, you value security and know that it requires effort to obtain it. Practical and materialistic you may appear aloof to people but underneath you are a very a passionate and sensual soul. You only open up in intimately so people on the surface see a more conservative side. Your partner ideally will know the real you and encourage you to continue opening up. Sex for you is seen as a reward so you can go a long time without it depending on how much time it takes to achieve a goal. When you are in a relationship you give a lot and expect the same in return. You may repress your sexual urges because of how serious and pessimistic you can sometimes act. Letting loose might feel like a chore because you’re more interested in practical matters. When angry, you are level headed, and it takes a lot to piss you off, but whoever makes that mistake will be sorry. Financially, you can turn a profit for anything. To you every dollar is important so your finances are usually in check and if they aren’t you realize the importance and look for ways to fix them. Extremely ambitious for a life where you can work hard and have certainty of the future is important so retirement is a thought at an early age. Sometimes even taking on the role of ensuring your whole family is well off is essential because you want to provide for everyone. At work you are confident in yourself but in love you are not, so learning to balance the two is key. A happy Capricorn will have found a partner that is long term and loyal and someone they can come home to every night and wind down with. 

Mars in Aquarius: The most difficult sign to figure out. You know exactly what you want and are fixated on going after it. The same ambition of Capricorn Mars is in you, however, more scattered and chaotic. You don’t really have a plan in action you just create as you go and find success. Very much a people gatherer, you are at the fore front of fighting for social injustices. You are the brains behind the board and have a way of getting people to support you in joining the fight. Overall, you’re an open minded person and want all the freedom in the world. An ideal partner understands your quirks, stubbornness, and passion. Unpredictability is your forte and you use this to win your partners as they are intrigued by the mystery and charm of it all. Experimental, you will try anything at least once, just like Gemini. You will most likely date people of all walks of life and be interested in how different their stories are. You only commit when you’ve worked really hard to be with someone or when this person right away is able to show that they are confident enough to deal with you. This placement comes off very strong to romantic interests, so if you scare people away this might be why. There is nothing wrong with you, it just takes similar minded people to understand you. And when you find them is when you will truly be your authentic self. Once in love you are loyal and committed and can even be a housewife, if that is what you choose to do. In younger ages, you will see the full potential of your rebellion often getting in trouble, even with the law. Any mistake, however, you learn as a life lesson and adjust your life accordingly with your newfound knowledge. You’re always looking for ways to improve since you believe nothing lasts forever and there is always room to grow. You usually try to avoid conflict and violence, but if someone does the mistake of pissing you off, you can end them with precise and piercing words. Finally, you are the leaders of the Aquarian Age so get your technology in tip top shape and be ready to lead the revolution!

Mars in Pisces: Oh the ever so dreamy and soft hearted Pisces that is the most genuine. You love so passionately and effortlessly…it truly is a watery, dreamy, in-the-oceans type of love. You live in your head and create fantasies that you deeply want to make a reality. This is why you love so passionately, you want nothing more in life than a partner who will make those dreams come to life. This can cause you to go astray because you don’t chase life with much practical or physical effort. You really are a fish that goes with the flow and lets life naturally happen. You spend more time dreaming than actually planning for your future. It’s not that you don’t care about these things, you’d just rather they fall onto your lap. And because you have a charming, easy going way of life things do just happen for you. Mars in Pisces is definitely a more subtle go-getter but even with a little mars influence, you have the power to make things work in your favor. You are sensitive to your surroundings and basically know how everyone feels without even talking. If you’re not able to have the drive to go after what you want, you will surround yourself with people who are able to get it for you. This can make you lazy and this is probably one of the placements that needs a little more tough love in achieving a goal. As a lover, you are tender, and your partner is lucky that you’re so responsive and attentive to their needs. Your empathetic nature makes people feel safe and gives them an outlet where they can express themselves. However, it’s the toxic types that take advantage that you need to watch out for. You are led by your emotions and are one to play mind games because you don’t express how you feel, you just want someone to realize when you’re disappointed or suffering. This is why your partner needs to be someone who is understanding to your sensitive heart, it requires a lot of patience. Once you learn to have healthy relationships and master the art of independence, you can set out to achieve anything. But until then, you are lost in a dreamy world that needs waking up.
