MARS IN THE SIGNS ⚦
by Selin Sipahiler
Most people think that one can have only one sign and that determines their whole personality. Those people are wrong. Every single human has a unique birth chart that contains 12 planets and 12 houses along with many other aspects. These birth charts are just like snowflakes; their details make them utterly special and different from one another.
What is a Mars sign?
Mars is the planet that traditionally represents men and masculinity. It is the ruling planet of Aries, the sign nobody would ever want to get in an argument with (trust me, they have anger management issues). In our natal charts, Mars explains our anger, ego, the way we cope with triggers and our sexual drive. Most people aren’t aware of this but Mars signs are how we treat our bodies and how big our ego is. According to traditional astrology, male personality is affected a bit more by their Mars sign than females (whom are affected a bit more by their Venus sign).

MARS IN ARIES
The ultimate Mars placement. You have no chill. I am afraid of you and please never scream at me when you are mad at something else. You tend to place your anger onto people who don’t deserve to be yelled at. I have many Mars in Aries people in my life and they are all extremely aggressive. Do not piss them off or you’ll pay for it. Trust me, try to stay on their good side. The ugly is ugly.
MARS IN TAURUS
There is a certain calmness to this placement if you are willing to cooperate. They can be very stubborn and it’s hard to change their minds about most things, especially when they are angry. Males with this placement tend to have a calm aura surrounding them (don’t be fooled). Taurus is the most serene sign when they are not tested but if you do get on their bad side, get ready for a dramatic ending to your relationship, whether they are your friend or spouse. They tend to hold grudges. You’re a Mars in Taurus and this doesn’t sound like you? You’re either in denial, too stubborn to admit this or have another placement in your chart that overcomes this one.
MARS IN GEMINI
Crazy people. If you’re sensitive, do not piss them off. They will snap. Their words hurt and they aren’t ones to pick their words carefully while fighting. Will call you out if you do something to trigger them. Very fun in social situations, loves partying. If male, he is probably strictly against monogamy. Commitment? Never heard of her. Also, they can be quite passive-aggressive as they confuse you with their attitude during an argument. Are they mad? Are they over it? Are they mocking you? Yes, they are mocking you. One of their hobbies is confusing people and leaving them puzzled. Watch out.
MARS IN CANCER
Says “Sorry!” at least 10 times per minute. You might assume that they are soft and like you can just shout at them and they’ll be fine. Well you are wrong. They just hold it all in until they explode and can’t take your crap anymore. They are sweet, don’t get me wrong. But if you see their bad side, remember that it doesn’t show as often and you probably crossed the line. Like Libra, Mars in Cancer people dislike conflict but they aren’t afraid of guarding themselves if needed.
MARS IN LEO
Good luck trying to convince them that their opinion is wrong. They are always right. If you attack their ego or somehow belittle them, you are on their blacklist. Getting out of it? Never going to happen. They don’t hold grudges easily but if you hurt their loyal, understanding heart, don’t expect them to just move on. After Mars in Aries, Leos are the second most aggressive if you piss them off. They are loud and don’t hope and pray that they’ll stop screaming, they won’t. Huge ego. They love themselves. If you don’t like them, they won’t care.
MARS IN VIRGO
Sneaky. They’ll collect information about you throughout all of your interactions and you won’t even notice. Then they’ll use it to crush you. Will act like they like you while they hate you. Good with words, just like Mars in Gemini, and knows how to hurt and manipulate you perfectly if needed. Very body conscious. Loves working out, eating healthy and being mindful of how they treat their bodies yet this can sometimes go in the wrong directions since they are obsessive.
MARS IN LIBRA
The downfall of Mars. Hates conflict and can’t resolve their issues, they just ignore it and act like it didn’t happen. This trait comes from a selfish place. Their lives matter the most and conflict would mean destroying the harmony of their lives. They care about equality and have a gift for viewing situations objectively. This does frustrate their friends as they might tell the truth of a situation rather than what would please their friend.
MARS IN SCORPIO
Third most intense placement. Stubborn and sneaky. Good at manipulation. Can see the tiniest detail that everyone missed. Makes a good detective or surgeon. Their anger is very fiery compared to other water signs. They are very passionate and driven. They think that most people don’t get them and they are right! Their mysterious aura isn’t just a façade; they do not open up easily.
MARS IN SAGITTARIUS
They will crush you in a debate. Their words are powerful and they do not think before they speak. No filter. Just like their sister sign Gemini, this Mars placement hates commitment. They are free spirits that go through life exploring the world and they are very curious. Don’t be fooled by the sweet impression Sagittarius makes, they can be aggressive. Their aggression comes unexpectedly so everyone is left baffled. They are the type that will go on a late-night adventure with you in a town they know nothing about. The unknown attracts them.
MARS IN CAPRICORN
Luckiest Mars placement. They can work for ages and enjoy it. Loves money. Will work to get what they want; they will never be passive. As a very ambitious placement, Mars in Capricorns are mostly successful people. Can come off as cold, they kind of are. Mars highlights Capricorns drive, diligence and gift to lead. Do not mess with them, they won’t take it lightly.
MARS IN AQUARIUS
Fights for a cause. Needs to maintain social justice and order. They are protective of human rights, will probably lead some sort of riot against the system. They do not expect anything in return if they do you a favour. Also, their anger management skills are one of the finest in the zodiac. They don’t get jealous; they don’t care enough to get jealous. Most probably is social and has many friends from different groups.
MARS IN PISCES
Passive-aggressive energy. Has a difficult time asserting themselves as they are soft and nurturing (unless there is another major energy in their charts that is assertive, like a Cardinal Sun sign). They are very considerate and passionate when it comes to creating. They are submissive and do not like to fight. But if they do, they won’t be holding back their tears. Mars in Pisces man are particularly interesting as they have a masculine exterior while they are softer inside.
