Mars in Aries

Het Monster: Mars in Aries Character in me is lively, But not at all so bad. Force me to sit – And I’m in trouble, and you – to endure, Since Mars is the natural planetary “ruler” of Aries, in this sign its energetic force will be more pronounced than in any other. This child needs a lot of space and freedom to be active. You don’t need to encourage your little Aries; just find a safe place for them. The fiery style of action fuels competitive instincts, which are so strong that an early opportunity to develop mastery in some sport will be very beneficial. A young child with Mars in Aries will be particularly restless if forced to sit still for too long. Keep this in mind when choosing a preschool or school, as well as when deciding whether to take this child to places where overly active “little fireballs” might irritate other adults. You will need plenty of things to keep them occupied. Your child will be a natural leader. They will strive to be first, to do things their own way. Provide many opportunities where this child can channel their drive, take initiative, and try new things. They are better at starting projects than finishing them, so short-term projects will work best, bringing more happiness to both of you and encouraging your child toward new successes. Suppressed energy can erupt into outbursts of anger, and with severe suppression, even sudden fever. Understand that this child needs ways to release excess energy and irritation. Trying to “clamp them down” may give you temporary peace, but it will come at a higher price later. Instead, think about what you can do in your environment to allow them to channel their energy constructively. Teach this child to release their frustration in a non-destructive but physically active way.

Indubala. Planets in Signs. (Indian Tradition)

Mars is the ruler and master of Aries, and thus in this sign it is in its own domain and therefore quite strong. Here it indicates an energetic, competitive person, a leader, and a pioneer. These are enterprising people; they travel, engage in sports, act recklessly and impulsively, and are strongly attached to sex. Capable of feats, their spirit is combative, and they are very sociable. They own pets and property; such people often suffer from accidents, injustice, or fire.

Here Mars is in its domicile in the fire element. Mars in Aries gives blind elemental will. Clearly, you are distinguished by fierce pressure and impulsiveness, persistence and impatience, combativeness and sharpness, and great explosive power. You may have strong willpower, but it manifests spontaneously, in bursts and impulses. You are likely capable of harsh expressions, but strategy and diplomacy are not your strengths. In action, you are generally inconsistent; the way you apply force rarely repeats itself. However, if your cosmogram has a strong Saturn, these extreme expressions may be somewhat softened. If Saturn is not strongly connected, you may be capable of impulsive, one-time actions and struggle to build a consistent behavioral pattern or achieve goals strategically. Mars in Aries gives an enormous thirst for self-assertion, meaning you likely love independence, strive to achieve everything yourself, often reject help, and if you accept it, only in small doses. You may tend to sweep away all obstacles in one stroke and usually act first and think later. With a “wild” Mars in Aries, you may display rudeness, boorishness, irritability, and insensitivity, as well as an excessive desire for independence. Among spiritually undeveloped individuals with Mars in Aries, you may encounter “tram hooligans” and “masters of domestic scandals” of high qualification. You may often underestimate the difficulties you need to overcome and overestimate your own strength. Here, Aries’ tendency toward extreme positions manifests. Mars in Aries suggests extreme impulsive expressions: “all or nothing.” You are more likely to be upset by failures; you have almost no inner reserve of energy, so recovery is slow. You may perceive life as a struggle. In this case, the whole world for you is painted in red, fueling the excitement of battle. When you are depressed, the world may darken, but most often it remains red. Thus, you are likely prone to risk and capable of reckless behavior. Your characteristic traits likely include difficulty finding a balanced position and constant active involvement in situations. You likely tolerate contradictions poorly and rarely reflect on your actions. You may have a love for power sports (boxing and weightlifting), but without other indicators, you are unlikely to become a champion, as sports require systematic training, work, and effort. Generally, you are capable of overcoming a vast amount of work, enormous tension, but in bursts or spurts; for sustained effort, you may lack stability. Sometimes you can also mobilize great physical strength—on a surge, you can lift an extraordinarily heavy load, which is why you may develop a love for weightlifting, as the nature of the load in weightlifting is distinctly Martian: immense effort in a short time, an impulse. In terms of energy dynamics, you likely fit well into this sport. If Saturn strongly influences you or gives you the ability to work toward distant goals, you can quite successfully compete in such sports. Additionally, your Martian expressions are not limited to sports or such raw combativeness. Mars generally indicates the ability to perform very intense work. You likely stand out in how you work: typically, you do nothing for most of the time and have no desire to act, but in a short period, you can accomplish a huge amount of work. Again, the habit of taking everything by storm manifests. All your affairs, feelings, and everything else may be prone to such periods. You likely have little inclination toward regular work in any field, as the nature of your energy requires impulsive surges from you. In such cases, you pour everything out and then follow a period of relaxation and rest, recharging your energy.

Aries with Mars constantly remembers that its main purpose in life is to be a warrior. In the worked-out version, this gives, in addition to extraordinary strength and energy, nobility: the defeated villain will be released into the world. However, depressions intensify, and dependence on the energy flow becomes significantly stronger. The inability to realize Mars’ energy during periods of Aries’ declines leads to strong negative nervous tension and the temptation to connect literally to the first flow that comes along, which often turns out to be inappropriate, or perhaps purely destructive (if Mars is harmonious, this is softened, but not excluded). Aries’ inattention to the surroundings, energy, and tendency toward self-admiration in the aspect of Mars and in Aries are emphasized. However, Aries’ self-admiration is so unnatural to it that (except in cases of severe defeat) it usually causes irritation. It seems that a peacock is naturally destined to proudly spread its tail; similarly, Aries, as a carrier of the flow, is inclined to admire its flow (not itself, unlike Leo!), which is also transmitted to others. In other words, karmically, Aries is seen by the flow as its guide and as its advertisement.

Overflowing energy, resourcefulness, and a creative drive. They acknowledge only those obligations they voluntarily accept. A boiling temperament, a combative spirit, anger, rage, excessive zeal, impulsiveness, a desire to be first, and insatiable ambition. Their interest and enthusiasm do not last long enough to see things through to the end. They are willful and independent, intolerant of objections or interference. They love competition and often break their heads in the process. They tend to run high fevers with colds but tolerate them more easily than others. They need to learn tolerance and respect. You have the nature of a warrior—you are decisive, brave, and fearless, and the desire to act never leaves you. Even when waiting or idleness (letting time solve all problems) would be far more effective. Passivity and patience are not your domain. You feel that only you can decide whether to take initiative, and with greater aggression, you strive to achieve goals and fulfill desires. You are self-sufficient, independent of others, and do not expect their support or assistance. When given advice or instructions, you often become irritated. You struggle to work in conditions requiring cooperation. As a strong-willed person, you can largely disregard the desires and feelings of those you encounter in life. You are always ready for rivalry and derive satisfaction from difficulties that demand maximum exertion of your strength. You relish a serious fight and sometimes dive right into it. At the start of any new endeavor, you are full of energy and enthusiasm, and to keep your interest from fading, you need positive feedback and encouragement. If this undertaking does not yield relatively quick success, you tend to abandon it and start something else, never returning to the old project or reworking it. You have a strong desire to be a pioneer, a trailblazer, to do what no one has done before—in your own way. But even here, endurance is required, and you are impatient. Often, your plans remain just plans.
