Mars Aspects

Mars represents our ambition, energy, action and desire. It rules our basic instincts of aggression, anger and survival. There is often no contemplation before action when it comes to this primal energy. All our sexual desires come under Mars. This is the raw physical energy as opposed to the creative energy of the sun. With good Mars placement we are assertive, directed and forthright with bad placement we an be impulsive,rash and aggressive. In your chart, Mars shows your basic animal nature, how you express anger and what gets you angry and more importantly what makes you act.

Mars Sesquiquadrate Pluto

When Mars forms a sesquiquadrate aspect with Pluto in your birth chart, you may find yourself navigating a complex dance between self-assertion, control, and power. This aspect can bring about a sense of confusion and uncertainty when it comes to expressing your desires and taking action. You may often find yourself questioning whether acting on your feelings means asserting dominance and exerting power over others.

It is important to recognize that this confusion stems from a deeper fear or insecurity within you. This fear may manifest as an inhibition to fully commit yourself, as you may be afraid of the potential consequences of wielding power or dominance. Alternatively, you may find yourself acting compulsively at times, driven by a need to prove your worth or maintain a sense of control.

As you mature and gain more self-awareness, you will gradually learn to differentiate between assertion and power. You will come to understand that asserting yourself does not necessarily equate to dominating others or exerting control. True strength lies in the ability to be flexible and adaptable, finding a balanced approach to expressing your desires while also respecting the autonomy and boundaries of others.

Take time to reflect on how you can navigate the complexities of self-assertion and power in a more conscious and harmonious way. What fears or insecurities might be holding you back from fully embracing your own strength and asserting yourself authentically? How can you cultivate a sense of inner empowerment that is rooted in compassion, understanding, and healthy boundaries?
