Mars: Planet of Passion

Mars is the action Planet of the Zodiac. The 'Red Planet,' after
all, should be pretty fiery, and Mars does not disappoint. Energy,
passion, drive and determination are all right up Mars's alley.
This Planet commands you (and yes, Mars does rule the
military) to stand up, be noticed and get things done -- sitting on
the sidelines belongs somewhere else in the heavens. Simply
put, Mars speaks to the power and confident expression of the
individual.

Ambition and competition are also within Mars's realm. Whether
it's at work or on the field of play, Mars encourages us to face
challenges and to be our best -- or better. Aggression is part of
the plan here, although Mars also values courage and honor.
Assertion and a daring, fearless nature please this Planet.
It's important to note that Mars's energy can be constructive or
destructive. The God of War in ancient times, Mars could be
brutally violent. While this energy still emanates from the Planet,
it also asks us to harness this force for good. Stamina, ambition
and achievement are all part of Mars' mantra.
Mars rules our sexuality and sexual energy, and governs
weapons, accidents and surgery (the last two illustrating the yin
and yang nature of this Planet). In the end, however, the energy
of Mars can be quite useful if used properly.

It takes nearly two years for Mars to complete its orbit through
Aries and the Zodiac. It is masculine energy and rules both
Scorpio and the First and Eighth Houses.
