# Mars in Pisces
Het Monster: Mars in Pisces
In my dreams I dance on a bright rainbow,
Waves of celestial light sparkle like grains of stardust.
Let me bathe in their tender surf!…
In my dreams I dance on a bright rainbow.
This position of Mars usually does not promise great energy. Your child will show little interest in sports and may even seek to avoid them. If, however, they do show interest and ability in physical activity, it will most likely be a water sport—swimming or boating—or a sport related to music, such as figure skating or dancing. The actions of this child have a dreamy quality. You will do best to encourage their imagination and creative abilities in artistic pursuits—music, dance, or theater. Try music lessons from an early age. Explore the possibility of enrolling them in a children’s theater studio. If that is not possible, encourage them to put on small plays with friends.
A child with Mars in Pisces may enjoy daydreaming for hours on end, and sometimes you can allow it. But then it should be directed toward developing creative skill. Such a child usually struggles to get started on their own. You may need to take the initiative to get them out of the house and moving. Your child is unlikely to be assertive in social interactions; they tend to avoid noisy and pushy people. They are ready to help others selflessly when they see the need. But they will not particularly strive to be “the best” at anything, and if something does interest them, they will struggle to show enough initiative to achieve their goal. Nurture their talents, but keep in mind that this may be a very skillful talent that requires a mediator for better realization.
Indubala. Planets in Signs. (Indian Tradition)
Here Mars is placed in a sign friendly to it and is in favorable conditions. A person born under this influence will be compassionate, fond of pious rituals, and will earn respect. Such people will find luck far from where they were born, will be drawn into philosophical debates, and due to their tender and gentle nature, may become embroiled in conflicts. Pisces is symbolically depicted by two fish swimming in opposite directions; these people are sometimes capable of taking on commitments to act in two or more directions at once and may find themselves in difficulty deciding which path to choose. Their mood may swing between optimism and depression.

Here Mars is a guest of Neptune and Jupiter. Pisces is a sign of the Water element, so the will is directed toward spiritual spheres, inner self-improvement, and the attainment of celestial harmony. Mars in Pisces usually brings dissatisfaction with oneself, but this fuels the drive for inner growth. Yet the most effective progress can be made in solitude. For such a person, any environment is bad, as it will divert their will from where it needs to go. This position of Mars is typically marked by a desire for self-sacrifice and active assistance to others, the ability to engage in secret struggle—struggle for certain ideals, since Neptune influences Mars here. And these ideals may be either true or false. If Mars is strong and supported by aspects, your will can manifest wonderfully in music, prayer, and spiritual struggle. Your expressions may be unexpected, yet you are indecisive and almost incapable of conventional methods of struggle, showing little aggression. Since you easily absorb ideals, actively embrace them, and act vigorously in their name, you may sometimes even become a fanatic. The will manifests in waves, like the tide. If Mars is afflicted by aspects, you may always be dissatisfied with yourself, and any environment will be bad for you—that is, you may become a potential “dissident” under any regime. A “malefic” Mars in Pisces often gives a tendency to expose secrets. Either circumstances force you to reveal secrets, or you feel a drive to actively uncover them, to hunt for mysteries. With a weak or “malefic” Mars in Pisces, you may develop extreme sensitivity and psychic difficulties in self-assertion. Additionally, with fanaticism and weakness, cunning and inhuman subtlety may appear. Chaos in consciousness, susceptibility to influences, is also possible. At its finest expression, Mars in Pisces usually gives a very active, “frenzied” imagination. In this case, you may sometimes be swept away by the flow of your imagination. There may be an entire realm of dreams, for Pisces suggests a very rich inner world. And then you literally live in this illusory world, creating, acting, struggling there, while externally you may seem inactive and detached. Almost all your activity goes into the realm of the inner world. It cannot be said whether this expression is good or bad, for there are variations where you are in sync with the world, maintain contact with it, and somehow align the fruits of your inner world with how you live. This position is very favorable for creative people. Mars in Pisces was in the cosmogram of V. Vysotsky, who had a very intense inner life. But if there is no contact with the world, it may mean a complete retreat into oneself—that is, you lose connection with the external world and “relocate” to an illusory one.

Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary
Anarchic, scattered activity driven by inspiration. Lack of focus, lack of purpose. Aggression is almost absent unless provoked by a strong external attack. Problems with choice and defining goals. Yet on the other hand—inspired, higher, mystical activity.

Mars increases the activity of Pisces; however, it should be noted that this activity largely unfolds in their inner emotional life, which they find very difficult to express—a demand Mars inevitably makes. Therefore, at a low level of development, this Mars often creates disharmony, manifesting as heightened emotionality: psychic effects, hysteria, and the like. Mars pushes Pisces toward outward expression—they actively try to help acquaintances and relatives with various problems, initially offering assistance through passionate empathy, though not always grounded in the actual situation. Mars-in-Pisces individuals, with the best intentions, often land themselves in trouble (especially when afflicted), and they may suffer long afterward. In cases of severe affliction, a general negative and aggressive attitude toward the world is possible.
However, the development of Mars in Pisces does not come through suppressing anger and emotional aggression, which could lead to severe neuroses, hypochondria, and mental illness. Instead, it comes through the constructive use of Mars’ energy, which requires a deeper understanding of people—their psychology, emotional needs, and spiritual concerns. Only then can they appropriately choose the timing and nature of their influence on others and situations. Overall, in its undeveloped form, this Mars position should be seen as a defeat for Pisces. Working through it is painful and demands greater self-denial than they might wish. Yet the satisfaction they feel from truly great deeds—such as those they accomplish as psychologists, psychiatrists, or in any work involving human connection—will serve as a certain compensation for their emotional struggles.
Frances Sakoian. The Planets in Signs
Strong emotions from the depths of the subconscious, very vindictive, unable to forget an offense. Lacking self-confidence and decisiveness, they act through cunning. Excessive sensitivity hinders decisive action. Periods of rest and calm are needed. Financial gain comes through friends. Dreamy. Possible postponement of marriage, with disappointment in love over time. Work in secret services or in shelters (they strive to provide assistance). Problems from relatives. You lack the fighting spirit, the competitive drive. You are more of a pacifist, a lover of peace—more likely to yield than to fight. You may seem weak-willed and incapable of much because you are not ambitious and do not seek to make a career, earn money, or win at someone else’s expense. It is not particularly important to you whether you are first or best, on the highest rung, and you are quite content in other roles, working for a cause you believe in. You are a gentle and vulnerable person, driven by motivations less earthly and tangible than those of most people. You may find it difficult to formulate clear, distinct goals or carve your own path in this world. You are a great dreamer, inspired by high ideals. You have a very mystical or religious, creative imagination. You can successfully express yourself in the visual arts or music. You have weak health, which requires constant attention to remain strong and resilient. Often hunched, stooped, or lame; a tendency toward tuberculosis, infectious diseases, and tumors due to unrestrained impulses.

Your activity is hard to rouse, but once stirred, it is just as hard to stop.
