# Mars in Aquarius
Het Monster: Mars in Aquarius
I know, I know, there’s a better way! Let me think for a moment. — I’ll be quick! You wait and be ready, we’ll go on a journey together!
Your child with Mars in Aquarius is likely to be very inventive and independent in work and other activities. They are convinced, without even trying, that the commonly accepted way of doing something cannot be the best. Their path must be the best! Sometimes they will be right, sometimes they will be wrong, and in the process, they will waste time. Teachers with a creative nature may admire them, while those inclined toward tradition will be displeased, and here they may face difficulties. Complaints may arise that they do not follow the rules well enough. But this is creative exploration!
Team sports may not suit them. They prefer to do everything their own way, which is not the best approach in a team.
Physical activity may not be as appealing to your child as intellectual pursuits. Individual sports may be the best option for physical exercise, especially if it’s something unusual for your area.
Your child may work well in a group if it’s tied to a humanitarian goal. They are willing to set aside personal preferences for the sake of a group goal if that goal matters to them. Winning for the sake of winning is unlikely to be considered a goal.
Technical activities with a high degree of novelty may be very appealing to your child. For example, they may be very skilled at working on a computer if given the opportunity.
### Indubala. Planets in Signs. (Indian Tradition)
For Mars, this sign is neutral. It fosters a competitive and argumentative nature with a certain strength. A slight shadow falls on the reputation of these people; they are often objects of envy. They tend to perceive things logically but often accumulate too much energy in their minds. As a result, they frequently become angry. They may suffer from heart and circulatory issues. They are surrounded by a pleasant, attractive energy. They enjoy travel, meditation, and may experience periods of poverty in their lives. They can be rude and indulge in intoxicants.
Classical texts mention “few children, the ability to forgive quickly, sincerity, and knowledge in languages and sciences.”
By nature, Mars is an unfavorable planet, and Saturn, the ruler of Aquarius, is also naturally malefic, so this combination can lead a person born with Mars in this sign to act in ways unworthy of their level of knowledge. These people are prone to complaints: they often feel deprived of success and cheated by fate.
### Pavel Globa. Planets in the Zodiac Signs
Here, Mars is in an air sign, hosted by Uranus and Saturn. Therefore, Mars in Aquarius generally gives eccentricity and a willfulness based on the principle “I do what I want!”
You are likely to fully concentrate and gather yourself only for short periods. Usually, you experience frequent shifts in willful impulses, ones you don’t expect from yourself. This is where Uranus’s influence (as the principle of instantaneous upheavals and unexpected actions) manifests. However, in the worst case, this can simply be showiness and a lack of sense of proportion, to the point where you lose sight of what you can and cannot do. Then, you may exhibit such complete lack of control that any restrictions provoke aggression. Moreover, in such manifestations, you can be very strong. That is, precisely when it comes to matters of freedom and will, you are capable of breaking any restrictions and frameworks, severing all ties, and removing obstacles.
You are also likely to reject conventions entirely, along with ideological adventurism. In the best case, this will, of course, be active reformist activity in any direction, a struggle in support of everything new (for example, such was N. S. Khrushchev).
Your will is directed toward destroying conventions, routines, and achieving freedom. For example, such people often “push through” their or others’ inventions. You probably always fight for personal freedom and independence, as well as for the possibility of informal relationships. Usually, you try to ensure that the relationships between you and your like-minded people are informal and free. But if Mars is “evil,” you may experience periods of very tense relationships with friends and like-minded people or quarrels with those closest to you spiritually.
Additionally, you may exhibit willfulness, malicious glee, intolerance, harmfulness, and dishonesty caused by forgetting promises.
Sometimes, people born with Mars in Aquarius are fighters who are unpredictable in their strangeness. With a cold mind, they can be broken, killed, or driven out, but it is impossible to defeat such a person.
Mars in Aquarius can also bring a love for gambling and betting.

Independence, arbitrariness. Organizational talent, abilities in mechanics and technology. More successful in a collective than through individual effort. However, they dislike others’ “c.u.” so much that they risk rejecting proven methods of work in favor of implementing dubious but their own ones.
With bad aspects — a desire to overthrow the existing order without having an idea of what to replace it with.
Affected Mars gives cardiovascular disorders. With bad aspects to Saturn — cruelty, crimes; dangerous diseases, especially of the legs. Premature death of siblings. Betrayals by acquaintances. Danger of accidents in water. In general, such a position of Mars brings suffering from false accusations and slander.
### Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary
A dislike for competition, an unwillingness to expend energy on achieving personal power; hence: fighting for abstract ideals, wars for independence, active efforts to defend human rights. Ideological adventurism. Activity needs to be “stoked”: visible goals are required to continue the struggle.
### Avesalom Podvodny. Planets in the Zodiac Signs
Mars in Aquarius gives a dislike for competition and a reluctance to waste energy on personal power struggles. Instead, they engage in battles for abstract ideals, independence wars, and active efforts to defend human rights. Ideological adventurism. Activity must be fueled by visible goals to sustain the struggle.Mars grants Aquarius great strength; it also directs their attention to issues of societal development and thoughts related to energy problems. This includes, for example, the dynamics of social relations during wars and revolutions, many branches of physics (elementary particles, gravity theory, all concepts of energy interactions, etc.), chemistry (energy of chemical reactions), biology, and so on. In principle, this position of Mars indicates a scientist and researcher. The danger lies in the temptation to interpret energy as the sole source of life; this is true, but energy should be understood broadly, including subtle energies such as the energy of directed thought.
At a high level of Mars in Aquarius, a person gains the ability to create a sufficiently strong energetic channel of communication with an egregore that governs through thought; in other words, this is a meaningful dialogue with the egregore. In terms of interaction with the surrounding world, refined Mars gives Aquarius words imbued with energy that can achieve much. Here, it is important not to succumb to the charm of power and to precisely determine the object of its application, for which one must pay special attention to the perception of reality and not rush to correct it immediately at the first idea that comes to mind.
In the higher octave, the Martian Aquarius directs the maximum of energy precisely toward the perception of the external world and the perfection of the channel of communication with the egregore (i.e., in symbolic terms) in a direction particularly relevant for the present time. At the same time, parallel changes occur in the egregore, which constitute the main interest from the perspective of evolution.
In the lower octave, Mars (especially if afflicted), on the contrary, forces Aquarius into hasty actions and propaganda of poorly thought-out ideas to a society unprepared to receive them, leading to resentment and intolerance. This position of Mars is characteristic of inventors who pave their own way for their inventions. If Mars is afflicted, it is often much more effective to focus primarily on working with the subtle world and devote minimal effort and time to implementation.
Francis Sakoian. Planets in Signs
A desire to act independently and willfully. They dislike working under authoritative guidance and need to be allowed to work in their own way. Constant readiness and pursuit of new ideas, interest in technology, reforms, and new methods. Revolutionary thinking without sufficient concentration leads to a desire to overthrow the existing order without renewing or improving it. Troubles with authority figures. Benefit through parents or relatives or income from public work. Possible death abroad or among strangers. You communicate easily with people and work well in collaboration with them. You can align with those who share your ideas and intentions to work toward a common goal. You tend to believe in progress and democracy; you are not interested in climbing the administrative ladder or the ability to command people. You are a natural team player who focuses not on yourself but on the team. You are drawn to everything new, unconventional, including ideas related to fostering connections between people and collaborative work. Striving to make working conditions in a team fairer, you are interested in any forms of interpersonal exchange (quid pro quo, favors, connections), income distribution, workload per person, and so on. You are also interested in new technology. You have a great reserve of energy, but it is not always directed into the right channel. You are impatient, rebellious, and inconsistent in pursuing your goals. Characteristic ailments: varicose veins or leg ulcers.
Planets in Signs. The Art of Forecasting. Semira and V. Vetash
Your activity is unpredictable and uncontrollable—but you possess the strength to bring the ideas of the future into the world.
