mars influencing sun summary
this influence in a person's chart is usually highly auspicious as mars and sun are mutual friends. there is something masculine, fierce and intimidating about them, they have such strong personalities it is difficult for others to find weakness in their character. others may never wish to cross these individuals as other people subconsciously sense the innate power they emit. their father most likely to be a very disciplined influence upon these people, usually in the sense of pushing them forward with their ambitions. when planet mars influences sun in someone's chart they are blessed with great power to achieve their goals and desires in life. they have a strong and direct idea of what their purpose is and have the capacity to attain great success in life via the motivating influence of mars. they posses the correct amount of courage, power and initiative in order to conquer their ambitions. these people may be natural inclined toward competition and tend to enjoy it too
note: saturn or venus additionally influencing sun can nullify or suppress sun's condition and qualities to a varying degree (these planets starve sun). although this post is still relevant - just keep this in mind
sun in aries ✰
unlike the other placements within this post, sun in aries is not just a delightful position, mars is enabling sun to become proud, due to sun being in his moolatrikona sign. this literally shows too, there's an innate warmth or glow that radiates out of these people that is very difficult to ignore, there presence obeys others to recognise strength and vitality radiating out them. these people seem prepared for anything, that they can accomplish anything, this perception placed upon these people enables them to be taken seriously as an intelligent, head strong and capable person. mars influencing sun in his moolatrikona sign ultimately comes down to an exceptional capacity to achieve no matter their ambitions are in life. expect the usual interpretations such as amazing management and leadership skills but that is kind of a given. the house sun is sitting in will indicate which area of life they are destined to literally shine above the others, commit and accomplish an aspiration. these people are no tyrants in anyway, they tend to admirably have no need to tear down or harm others in their way
sun in scorpio ✰
this placement is very different to sun in aries. these people have a presence that is almost creepy and unnerving. other people will usually be see them as deep and dark and they may be prone to being perceived to have a fear inducing character, no matter how beautiful, sweet and kind they are. i know it sounds extreme to say these people are feared, but this quality of theirs subconsciously demands others to recognise them as highly intelligent, respectable and most certainly capable of anything. their allure, intensity and depth entices others to come to this conclusion about them too. the general synopsis of mars influencing sun needless to say applies to these individuals, they are capable of achieving their ambitions and aspirations in life. sun provides structure within a sign of chaos and depth, mars' influence tunes these people into an almost needle point sense of direction. but what really intrigues me about the sun in scorpio person is that they venture deeper than most, their character has a depth like no other. i will say however that these people tend to avoid attention and lay low, unlike a sun in aries people who even unintentionally shines above the rest
mars conjunct sun ✰ (++ sun influencing mars)
these people are usually difficult to ignore, their presence is hot rather than warm. they will generally have a very masculine, bold and fierce personality as well. this placement enables sun to be more readily able to achieve and initiate their ambitions in life + all that was said in the summary. although, sun metaphorically burns and agitates planet mars. this results in someone who could have a overcompensating personality, low level of agreeableness or simply a rebellious nature. this is due to a lack of resonance with what is expected of them vs what they truly desire to pursue. these individuals may be high-strung and frustrated with what they feel they must prove in life, especially when it comes to their character, ambitions and purpose. my best advice for these people is to pursue their own aspirations despite possibly letting other's expectations down, particularly authority or father figures. this placement indicates a more difficult relationship with their father, so these people best suit independently striving toward their goals
mars opposite sun (7th aspect) ✰ (++ sun influencing mars)
this placement is a far better outcome than mars conjunct sun. the planets are again mutually influencing each other, but this time at a distance. planet sun is able to influence mars auspiciously in this position, without becoming too hot. sun beneficially provides stability, commitment and great focus toward their goals in life. they will most likely have a supportive and cooperative relationship with their authority or father figures in life. needless to say these people are bold, fierce and have a generally masculine trait to their personality + all that was described in the summary
mars aspects guide ✰ (vedic planetary aspect system)
sorry to disappoint but i do not consider sextiles, squares or trines in my practice. according to vedic astrology all planets including mars considers conjunction and opposition, respectfully these are the 1st and 7th houses from mars' position in the chart (these are mutual, both planets influence each other). and of course, a conjunction or aspect cannot be made unless both planets are within at least 10° orb of each other
additional aspects are not mutual (the other planet will not be aspecting mars). mars is one of three special planets that look in multiple directions other than it's 7th house aspect. the following are the additional aspects mars makes:
4th house from mars
8th house from mars
example: let's say that mars is in the 6th house. mars is aspecting not only the 12th house but additionally the 1st and 8th house in the chart. if sun is placed in either of these houses within a 10° orb of mars then mars is aspecting sun
note: please use whole sign house system. count inclusively of the house mars is placed in as the 1st count and in a forward direction. if this count surpasses the 12th house, the next count will be the 1st house and so on
4th aspect ✰
mars' 4th aspect is that of protection, like a solider who fights to protect his homeland. mars aspecting sun through his 4th aspect indicates someone who will metaphorically fight for their aspirations, state of character and status in life, as though sentimentally or close to their hearts. they are serious when it comes to protecting their image as though vital in order to uphold their identity and roots in an honourable way + all that was described in the summary
8th aspect ✰
mars' 8th aspect is that of fear, like a soldier who is of course excepted to come face to face with death. these people may have to face fearful or darker sides of their character and status in life. they may have something about their character that induces fear, allure and mystery in the eyes of themselves and other people + all that was described in the summary
