Mars in Your Chart
How You Fight, Desire, and Pursue What You Want
Mars is your cosmic engine. It governs how you take action, express anger, pursue desire, approach sexuality, and compete. Where your Sun sign shows who you are, your Mars sign shows how you go after what you want. Understanding your Mars placement transforms your relationship with motivation, conflict, and passion.
