Planets in Houses
Mars
Mars is raw power — desire, drive, instinct, sexuality, and the fire that makes you move. It reveals how you fight, how you protect, how you pursue what you want, and what awakens your passion. Mars is your courage. Your anger. Your survival instinct. It is the part of you that refuses to stay silent when your soul is burning.
The house your Mars occupies reveals where your energy is meant to burn brightest. It shows the areas of life that awaken your determination, trigger your anger, demand your courage and ignite your passion. This is where you are called to act boldly rather than hesitate, to lead rather than linger, and to express strength rather than suppress it. Mars’s house is the battlefield of purpose — the life arena where your spirit demands movement, bravery and unapologetic force.
