random astro observations: mars edition 🔥🧯
disclaimer: these are based on my PERSONAL experiences and observations. tw: there is a brief mention of self harm!
Moon-Mars synastry is not fun in a platonic sense 😭 having this with a sibling or parent can be frustrating and the arguments can be explosive. The mars person could view the moon person as “weak” or being “too sensitive” and the moon person could also be very dramatic when responding to the mars person behavior, labeling them as extremely aggressive.
there can be many pros to 12h synastry, it can help you combat your fears, feel like someone understands you on a whole new level ...but I rather have mercury or moon 12h synastry over mars. When I had mars in the 12h synastry with past friends they would be so passive aggressive or make backhanded comments. It can leave you wondering am I making this shit up or are they lowkey hating 😐 the mars person could dislike the house person for no reason lmfaooo like ugh this bitch again energy. When you dislike someone and don't seem to know why, 12h synastry could play a role in that.
It can also be challenging to have a parent's mars in your 12th house. The parent may either be a great source of inspiration for you during your darkest hours or they may perceive you as the "bad guy." Being able to significantly worsen a child's mental health as a parent gives you the impression that you are an invader in your own home. Reactions from the child may set off the parent, and vice versa. You might experience a sense of never being on the same page.
I also had mars 12h synastry in a past romantic relationship and it was the most toxic shit ever & he would get triggered over minor things, constantly calling out small things in my mannerism like “i don’t like the way you do this or that etc." AND A LOT OF IT was just him projecting his own subconscious insecurities and fears onto me (real 12h shit). * BUT I am not trying to fear-monger, if you have 12h energy already in your chart 12h synastry might not feel as intense. And also if you’re both mature, communicate and establish boundaries it can be A LIFE changing connection. I have 12h moon synastry with my best friend and she has helped me so much with my mental health. 💕*
However, the most passionate relationship I’ve had was with someone who I had an exact mars-venus conjunction and mars-Pluto conjuction with in synastry 😭 it didn’t work out in the long run but they definitely set the stage for how I wanna be treated sexually in my next relationship <3 truly they raised the bar. We also had mars square moon synastry which was fun and passionate at first but then it was just overwhelming. This aspect has a lot of sexual tension in romantic relationships, but like I said the arguments can be explosive and the mars person could get defensive quickly by the moon persons behavior, an emotional friction or tug of war (in the case of oppositions). Mars-Moon aspects might be more fun if they are sextile or trines...the mars person will do ANYTHING for the moon person and the moon person craves to be around the mars person <3
Mars-Uranus ppl were the toddlers that you couldn’t turn your back for a second because they were so chaotic. My little cousin has a mars-Uranus conjunction and when he was 4 he got in the drivers seat when his dad stepped out the car and almost crashed into our fence (but tbh that was probably dads fault as well lmfaooo). He's older now and he is still so chaotic but he's a smarty pants and is amazing at working with tech (uranian influence).
^ on the flip side though mars-Uranus people could also be the ones that are constantly breaking or damaging (mars) their phone/ technology (Uranus). It could be by accident or the mars-Uranus person could break them in a fit of rage 🥲🥲 my mars-uranus aspect & rip to all my phone screens.
^ That is also why it is encouraged for those with mars-uranus aspects (especially harsh ones) to be careful when operating machinery (uranus) as they can easily get cut or injured (mars).
I feel like mars-uranus and mars-mercury people are also the ones that speed when they drive or hit curbs LMFAO. slow down bby you're turning them corners way too tight.
I looked at the chart at some of my gay/ bi friends and it’s funny we all have mars-Uranus aspects. Having “unconventional” (Uranus) sexual desires (mars). Obviously, when I say unconventional I mean in regards to current societal standards where heterosexuality is considered the norm. Although, even with people who identify as straight, mars-Uranus aspects can show unique desires in general. You know, being kinky as fuck in bed, spicing it up, being attracted to eccentric people etc etc.
tw: self harm.... those with mars in the 6h or aries ruling the 6h could be more prone to harming themselves when they are overwhelmed or angry. Whether it's purposely inflicting harm (mars) on your body (6h) OR doing reckless things & not caring if your body gets hurt. These are the people that can easily punch something -a door a wall a person- and in the heat of the moment it might not hurt but later they see their hand is all bruised up :( Angelina Jolie talked about how she would c*t herself because she felt trapped & needed a form of release. She has an aries moon, mars and jupiter. Her mars is opposite pluto... so hurting herself (mars) in a very taboo (pluto) way and feeling like she had to go to an extreme. And she also has mars square saturn. She directly said she c*t herself (mars) because she felt caged (saturn). Her moon is also conjunct mars and her mars is conjunct Jupiter as well so her behavior was probably very impulsive at the time due to this considerable amount of energy she holds.
People with Mars-Saturn aspects are skilled at calming others down or breaking up fights, conflicts, etc. They’ll really stare at you like 😐 and be like girl be calm ✋ but they might also have a lot of experience dealing with conflict with authoritative figures, like maybe in childhood they had to brace themselves, had to learn how to deal with their anger wisely or else it could've been used against them. If channeled properly though, people with this placement can easily command the respect of others.
People with mars-saturn aspects can be sarcastic as fuck in such a dry and pointed manner. However if paired with Venus placements they could be more passive aggressive in their behavior.
mars-saturn people may have felt awkward about sex at some point in their lives, particularly when they were young (especially squares, conjuctions and opposistions). However, with time, they will begin to understand who they are and what their expectations and requirements are. And then things can get pretty heated <3
Those with mars-neptune aspects (especially squares and oppositions) should be careful to not let their anger blind them. It’s hard to know the difference between needing to take a break versus completely giving up on something. But don't allow yourself to get discouraged or let your anger overwhelm you. When you allow yourself to process it won’t be as confusing.
moon-mars aspects could enjoy having sex when they’re feeling overwhelmed or too emotional. But if it’s a square or opposition they might need to actually talk about their feelings first or it has to happen at a slower pace. With more harmonious aspects it could flow more easily, like they see it as a natural way to release that energy if that makes sense. Like you know in the movies the couples that make out after something super intense and dramatic, and they're like don’t talk just kiss me ✋ that is what it is giving 😭
you know that TikTok where she’s like coco when mommy says stop you have to listen and the little girl is like "I JUST A BABY!!!!" yeah that’s moon-mars people (honorary mention: Aries placements as well ily my fiery babies).
Mars-MC people have an unstoppable drive. They could have huge bursts of energy out of no where and be like okay time to get my shit together. They can be very competitive and try to not make it as obvious. These are the people that after winning something they’ll just be like aha 😏, it can be a huge ego boost and also a form of reassurance that they are good enough. They can progress in their career very rapidly, this reminds me of those ppl that are like yeah I founded this company by the time I was 23 or in your career getting pay raises very quickly even if you just started. Shit like that you know. Just very quick progress.I really like this placement, especially the trines and sextiles.
Sun-Mars people could have fathers with anger issues or there could be a lot of machismo in their family dynamics. I also feel like sun-mars people are the people that you just inherently already know will fight if they have to, especially if defending someone they care about. They could have experienced a lot of conflict or chaos in childhood that has created very tense energy in their forms of self expression.
Usually, mars-Uranus people are impulsive, especially the harsher aspects, but it feels like when they are, it's at a specific moment, like all of a sudden they are reacting to that specific event. But, mars-mercury people can also be quite impulsive in their everyday routines. They can make judgments in the heat of the moment, without properly weighing the benefits and disadvantages, and typically act on instinct. My bestie has Mars square Mercury and she can't sit still if her life depended on it. If things are too peaceful, she'll be like SOMETHING STRANGE IS HAPPENING RN.
Mars-mercury are also good at sexting haha they could love getting someone all fired up meanwhile they’re just eating their cereal as they reply😭✋on the flip side if they’re angry at you they could know just what to say to make you mad. Moon- mars individuals are the ones that know what just to say to hurt your feelings and make you cry (and usually it’s bc they’ll say something true but it will still be completely out of line).
Mars-Jupiter individuals (especially those with conjuctions and oppositions) cling to their beliefs with a fierce intensity. These are people that can be very devout about their religions, spirituality or personal philosophies. They are willing to debate over it if you contradict them. If you want to change their mind or bring a counterpoint then have patience, but at the end of the day you might just “agree to disagree.”
Mars-Jupiter people are also the ones attracted to people of other races, religions, cultures etc. They are most likely to just be fascinated by the differences. They could love to learn about their foreign partners cultural backgrounds. They could also have a parent or parents that are also of two different cultures or background as well. I love this about mars-Jupiter people as well! They will genuinely dive into different cultures or backgrounds and try to understand them.
Mars-Jupiter ppl are just so hot though and exciting to be around. I feel like when your parents are like "so if your friend jumps off a bridge does that mean you're going to?" they were def talking about the mars-jupiter friend 😂😂
People with Mars-Pluto aspects can elicit very strong and even violent responses from people, even total strangers. Women with the placement could find that they get harassed and sexualized a lot. They can have a lot of power struggles with aggressive and controlling men. For men with this placement I see it as more chaos and more prone to violent encounters as well. Someone I knew in high school has a mars-Pluto aspect and he almost died (Pluto) during a fight (mars) once. Mars-Pluto ppl may even have become used to turmoil or even violence growing up. However, another interpretation of this is having a very magnetic and seductive demeanor. It can lead to people seeing you as very charismatic and confident.
Additionally, Mars-Pluto individuals may discover that their anger (mars) is very purifying. It has the power to transform (pluto) them into completely different beings. Even though you may have to go through chaotic situations, the challenges and tests you confront and overcome will refine and boost your motivation.
Leo Mars will not become enraged until their pride is injured or they feel embarrassed. And if that energy is not handled appropriately, it canlead to someone being always on the defensive. As a Leo mars, I ask myself am I genuinely upset or do I FEEL like I HAVE to be for the sake of my image? It reminds of the saying "pride comes before the fall." This could also apply to sun-mars placements as well.
Taurus mars are so incredibly observant (gotta love that Taurus-Scorpio axis). They are not quick to anger though, so if you actually got them standing up and yelling good luck Charlie. You made them get up now you’re going to be scalped bald because they’ve been watching your mannerisms and behavior the whole time.
Taurus mars and Venus- mars aspects as well can be very stubborn. They’ll be like I got it okay ✋✋✋ do you think I’m fucking stupid?!!? Trying to make them to do something they don’t want to do is impossible it’s not even gonna happen.
In general, Venus-Mars aspects (especially squares, conjunctions and oppositions) could bring love-hate sentiments into personal relationships. Any slight disagreement with loved ones may lead to aggression and arguments. But once they're done yelling at you they will give you a hug like nothing happened. These are the people that will bully their crush as a a way of flirting lmfaoo.
Venus-Mars aspects (particularly trines and sextiles) can yell at you while remaining loving and caring; it just works for them. These are the people who can be direct or even "mean" when speaking to others and it can be seen as charming or attractive. Men will perceive Venus-Mars women as "fiery," saying things like, "I love it when you yell at me" haha
Gemini placements are the most imaginative and creative people I know when it comes to cursing people out (and mercury-mars people). My gemini mars friend will come up with the most vicious insults, but they will be so thorough and she will use such an articulate language lmfaooo mercury is so chaotic. Mercurials in general are amusing when they describe anything because it will be so strange, detailed, and yet totally correct.
Cancer mars have the worst tempers of all mars placements I've encountered. They will bring up every single issue that has upset them during all interactions, especially if they have been holding onto anything for a while. They can also be amazing at gaslighting lmfaooo they’ll be like Um? When did I do that??? Hm??! Give me the time, date, place quickly.
Cancer mars are ride or dies for their family though. I always remember that Cardi B is a cancer mars (she’s a Scorpio mercury too). You know that quote where it’s like “only I'm allowed to bully my sibling”, cancer placements mean it bc if you mess with their loved ones they will cut you 🔪 being loved by someone with cancer placements isn't superficial at all. If they care about you they will be all in.
Also, cancer placements can be very reserved with their anger, as if they don't show you those sides unless they're absolutely FURIOUS or they're very close to you or family. After a long time of getting to know them, I saw a cancer mars become upset for the first time. This is because their rage can make them feel vulnerable as well, little crabby babies. 🦀💕 After all, what makes us angry is very revealing of our values and of what we do (or do not) stand for.
Pisces mars will strangle someone with their bare hands after holding everything in for weeks and then after cry and be like look what you made me do! I didn't want to have to do that. Pisces mars typically have trouble expressing their rage so they can experience frustration and feelings of guilt as a result. So when they do act that way, it's because they believe they have reached their breaking point and their emotions have become extremely overwhelming and they just snap. But you don’t have to let it get that far ok bby 🥲
Pisces mars and sag mars in general don’t like to be called out and it makes them feel belittled and scolded. 🤧 but then they rlly start acting a fool after that & blow things out of proportion when calling out the other person (gotta love that jupiterian energy)
my favorite thing about sagittarius mars though, is how charming they are so effortlessly and they can be like that with everyone too 😭😭😭 they always make me laugh.
sag mars will also laugh in the middle of an argument as well... sometimes they aren't even irritated they just feel like disagreeing with someone just to do it. Overall, sag mars might try to avoid really intense arguments, so they'll joke around and laugh first before they REALLY start being mean once it's getting serious.
Sag mars people don’t like admitting they’re mad either it makes them feel like the other person won, they’ll laugh and be all like ahhhaa fuck that bitch!!! Like ur really not even a bit upset sag mars?? hmmm 🤔
my favorite thing about aqua mars, Capricorn mars and scorpio mars is that they WILL hold eye contact whether you're flirting or fighting. and that pleases me. <3 women with these placements are also the ones that have men drooling over them over bc of their very serious and charming demeanor, men will be like I want her to step on me. DO IT LADIESSS DO IT! AND WEAR UR BOOTS WHILE UR AT ITTTTT. On the opposite side of that though men can easily be intimidated by women with these placements and try to "control" them (which then fails) as a form of asserting their masculinity.
Virgo mars will be vicious as fuck when they have been deeply hurt just like scorpio mars (this is interesting as well bc I have also said that Virgo Venus and Scorpio Venus are more alike than we think haha). Scorpio mars is fine with playing the long game if you hurt them and virgo mars is as well just in a different way. Scorpio mars might just wait for the right moment and is like surprise bitch I didn't fucking forget (even if its months or years later) but virgo mars will meticulously plan on how to drag you across the country, they'll put it on their little clipboard and everything, they might even explain to you while they're going to scalp you BALD. Scorpio just assumes you know because they didn't forget either so they'll show up like 🔪🔪🔪👹👹👹
^ literally my virgo mars 10 yr old cousin telling me how some kid on the playground was talking shit about his mom so he planned out how to get back at him step by step LMFAO pls... idk if I should be concerned but u know virgo placements love their to do lists
I know we talk about virgo placements easily getting the ick for stuff, but when libra mars people are upset at someone they look at them with such a disgusted expression, they could also flat out just start ignoring the person. My libra mars bestie will get turned off sooo fast by a partner when she's in a relationship (libra) after they argue (mars) lmfao. It is in her 12h as well and arguments are extra intense bc she find that partners (libra) project (12h) their anger (mars) and try to take it out on her.
Overall, we know that the sign and the house our mars is in are themes of the martian energy we have to deal with on a daily basis. Gemini Mars understands that there may be drama or disagreements as a result of their communication or mars in the 3rd house, and it may be with their siblings. Cancer mars may be more likely to disagree with family members. Libra Mars must be careful not to let conflict or even violence overrun their relationships. Leo Mars understands the need of investing in their well-being and self-care in order to feel their best. Mars in the 6th house is aware that coworkers may try it and argue with them. Mars in Virgo is aware that health concerns may occur, so they should take good care of themselves, including taking their vitamins and scheduling check-ups. Mars is in the 10th house, and they are aware that they must exercise prudence and refrain from being overly critical of themselves and their career decisions. Mars in the 11th house, or Aqua Mars, understands that just because they can disagree with the collective does not imply that they are flawed or that it is okay to be mistreated in social settings. Wherever Mars is, we must recognize that there may be more conflict in those aspects of our lives, and we must decide if we will let it overwhelm us and devour us with rage and frustration. Or if we are going to dive in already using our expertise and previous experiences and being selective about where we are going to devote our energy.
