Let us know what your big 6 are in the comments below! Your Sun, Moon, rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars signs. For example, Chris' are: ♏ ♒ ♒ ♏ ♐ ♑ Here is a set of glyphs you can use to copy and paste: ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓
@@theoldgod9 My rising is in Aries so for me, this does fall in exact house/sign placement, but for most people, you’re correct in that the houses will not align w their house ruler.
Chris I laughed SO hard when you said, "Are we emotionally and spiritually prepared to read Valens?" 🤣😂😂 This was alao me right before I started your course (which was AMAZING by the way!). Thank you both for this lovely convo! Sylvi has such a way of bringing everything back to the duality of what is life 💜
Hey guys - I was just looking at musician Tracy Chapman's natal chart and thought it might be interesting when considering how Mars applies to the life of the native. Tracy has a lot of action in the Mars-ruled signs, with a stellium in Aries (Mars at 0, Sun at 10, and Jupiter/Mercury conjunct at 26/27) and Moon and Neptune in Scorpio. The song "Fast Car" speaks of needing to make split-second decisions to escape being permanently trapped by the compulsion to enable the darknesses/addictions in others that are holding us back in life. Such a perfect Sun/Moon placement for the person who gave voice to this brilliant and timeless piece of music.
I love the commentary on Mars being the 'Ride or Die' friend. So true. My friends know I can handle extreme situations. I have bailed them out, been the backup bouncer, the protector. Aries Mars conjunct Jupiter, where there is a will there is a way. I have intervened in suicidal situations with friends and family... crazy intense situations. Aries Mars trine Sag Neptune/Rising, conjunct Jupiter, sextile Gem Sun/Mercury, square Cancer Saturn. Mars is busy in my chart, a def asset even though sect is wrong, I think Jupiter gives it a boost, and 5th house is a good place.
Sylvi - is AWESOME - calm as talking about Mars - LOVE her. I have Mars in Capricorn in the 8th House and I am sure this planet has saved my life many times - just stopping and thinking things out - instead of reacting. Stamina and courage and tenacity - not getting lost in emotion, being logical, practical and making hard decisions with the right data. I am often the one who is saying 'hang on hang on calm down - go back to the beginning and tell me what happened" trying to calm people down and stop them from reacting in a very violent Mars manner. I am also in my local Fire Brigade - and my great skill is 'situational awareness' I get that from Mars - it is like a game of chess - survey the area - what can hurt you - where are the potential dangers - what steps can we take to avoid the dangers. Thank you both this was great. My greatest loves have had Natal Mars placed right on my Natal Venus - magnetic attraction and great you know what...
I woke up unusually early and thought I'd listen. I drifted back to sleep and dreamt we were sitting around a picnic table, a waitress brought us tea. You two were chatting away. I felt really grateful that you agreed to meet me here and share your insights. I kept waiting for a break in the convo to say thanks but none came. Other people started joining, sitting around the table. Then Sylvie got up & while still talking, climbed a tree and was swinging from the branches (I'll relisten, I suspect arborist had been mentioned) while talking about liking physical work. I kept wanting to suggest catering, it's so physically demanding. The whole thing was delightful and funny. Thanks guys! 😁✨
This was sooo good. My husband is out walking off the fire in his Sag Mars legs again whilst I’m aggressively taking notes as usual. The most fitting description of my Gemini Mars ever!!
Mars to me is like a Father that just wants his child to be successful. What ever you want, he is like "Go! Do it! Do that thing you really want!" Its danger is that Mars does not care what is moral and what is not. He just wants you to fulfil your desires. So yes Mars might get you in a fight but he is also the one who wakes you up in the morning. The one that helps fight what ever obstacle is facing you. He is the one who makes you stand up for yourself and leave that job, relationship or whatever is making you miserable. Just make sure you let your Mars have his victories and dare to do something tiny (breaking a plate, running in the woods, talking loudly or being loud in general) so he want have force you take drastic and dangerous actions.
i have been waiting the malefic planet part of this series since it began cause my chart is really just mars and saturn trying to see who can do more damage via angularity/rulership and im very excited to finally crown a winner lmao. thank you /again/ for all that you do and offer this community w this channel!! :)
LAST THING i've got mars square mercury and have both adhd as well as a rare skin condition that causes my hands to turn bright red and get very warm when overtsimulated/in extreme temperatures!!! i love astrology!!!!
@@cruelyear Mars does more damage if it's starved. Saturn usually does more damage though but I'd say it may help Venus if there's one planet it aspects. Putting longevity and practicality into relationships. Saturn gets helped in Mercury and Venus signs or being aspected by Venus and or Mercury. It's starved in the signs of Mars, Moon, and Sun. Saturn represents work ethic, when it's being harmed it can't do the job that it's supposed to do. Getting through this world a o k. Saturn isn't this bad planet, it's getting things finished, work ethic. It's so easy to say that Saturn is a harmful planet but in reality, for the majority of people, it's starved. My Saturn itself is starved so it's harder to get work done and be consistent.
Out of bounds Mars rising in Cap here (con asc). Can confirm that my hair throws red no matter what colour I dye it so these days I tend to go for a red tint. I still get acne at 35 years of age and especially when I eat dairy. I’ve been told I always “look busy” or that I’m “going somewhere”. I naturally walk fast and have lots of scars - especially burns ones from when I was younger. My partner tells me all the time that I’m clumsy - true- but it’s usually because I’m trying to do multiple things at once.
Same. Redhead here. But Cap Asc and Mars in 12H Sag (in separating sextile from Jupiter in 10th). I can feel the energy coursing through my legs all the time-since I was a kid, I’ve had to move/exercise daily to relieve it. Thank you so much for validating what I’ve suspected about that! People around me don’t get it.
♈♈♉, ♂️ in ♉. I have been waiting for this one! Love these videos, love the podcast, thank you for continuing to offer this expertise to all of us. Lives have been changed ❤️
Oh my gosh I have Mars on the same degree of my rising and in Aries. 😂Suffice to say it's the ruler of my chart. I'm also learning about astrology a lot! This is an amazing episode for me to hear!
(apologies in advance for how many comments i leave on this video) the bit about courage in the face of danger is reminding me of a quote from poet Richard Siken, who's got mars in scorpio, that says: "We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven, which brings us back to the hero's shoulders and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it." feels very fitting for mars in it's water sign lol.
Very insightful! Though, this episode should’ve been filmed during a bar fight Good to know that I’ll be experiencing plenty of road rage when mars goes into my first house in my Mars year this month Edit: I just wanted to let you know, that the reason that somebody might try to learn motorcycle riding while profected Mars transits their first house cusp may correlate with the fact that Mars is squaring their fourth house cusp.
Sylvi explains concepts SO clearly (so does Chris of course). Really great episode, clear, easy to grasp, great examples. The intro had me a bit concerned but DAMN it got good!
Interesting when you guys mentioned milk as being the antidote to hot peppers and the reference to cancer and dairy products. I have a very weak Mars in cancer in the 12th house but I became an ardent activist for animal rights when I learned about the dairy industry and how horribly animals are treated in the animal agriculture industry and the devastating impact on the whole planet. But fighting that fight is very emotionally draining and upsetting, and the ridicule you get from other people is just incredible. It's a very frustrated and sad Mars.
Super appreciate this. I am one of those Mars in Gemini aggressive note-takers with lots of pressure on the paper. Interestingly, I also have a specific type of eczema that is confined to my hands.
as a scorpio rising with mars in the 10th, I can say: thanks for this episode and the part where u say Mars does not always means just the military or violent aspecto, but also the preventing of or the "other side of the coin" I find it hard to translate into my life when I hear the typical Martial themes and how they can be associated into the 10th, although I am pretty straightforward and aggresive towards life in general... I could not be less interested in the Army for example. Hope that made sense...
Mars is on my MC in ♌ 10th, square the Sun in ♉. Being newer to astrology, I truly find all of your talks fascinating and extraordinarily helpful in my understanding of this hobby/study. Thanks Chris (and Sylvi)! ♉7 ♍11♏ 1♉ 7♈ 6♌ 10
The discussion of fighters with Mars in detriment, and the road rage during Mars transits, reminds me of times I've had Mars transiting my Cancer Asc... last time I had to undergo this very painful treatment for my hip that involved stabbing long needles deep into my muscles, however, it was very effective for healing.
Just remembering another transit of Mars over my Asc in Cancer... my youngest child has Mars in Cancer, so around their birth I had all this wild stuff going on. Hopefully no one is too squeamish on the topic, but I chose to try to breastfeed as much as I could, even though I'd previously had some surgeries on my chest and breasts that would make milk production difficult. It ended up being quite difficult at the beginning especially, with the nursing process often drawing blood and causing a lot of pain. So, yeah, was just struck by this image memory of blood & milk... what a very Mars in Cancer image.
Scorpio rising here with Mars confirmed as my nativity ruler due to my sun and moon both being placed in cadent houses. Yes I watched that episode ;) As someone truly ruled by Mars, I can attest to the intense difficulty this planet can cause in life. At the same time, it’s been my greatest gift, as it bestows warrior-like resolve when it comes to physical endurance and dealing with stressful situations. The sense of paranoia and fear, no matter how good I may believe I feel in any moment, is always lurking in the background. Mars is always on the edge, surveying, ready to fight, to protect, to defeat the enemy. Imagine this, as these are my Mars aspects: Mars Conjunct Mercury - ADHD city! Hyperactive mind and hands. Too many ideas! Mars Conjunct Pluto - Beast Mode Archetype - Take the warrior energy of Mars and combine it with Darth Vader. Yes, running away is the right instinct. People literally look at me sometimes in complete disbelief. It’s a mix of intrigue, attraction, repulsion and confusion, all at the same time. I feel that way all the time. Mars Trine Moon - Yep, that’s a good one and I think is part of my saving grace. Protects me from those potentially destructive Mercury and Pluto conjunctions. My emotions and physical self working together in unison. Mars Trine Saturn - Can I get a hell yea! Both malefics working together for constructive outcomes. Mars Sextile Venus - Ahh, helps me breathe. Libra Sun and Cap Moon
Sylvi did such a good job and I’m really loving the Astrology4bros side of things too. It’s nice to be able to have both fun and serious analysis come from someone so pleasant and interesting!!
For some reason will the heating nature of the two malefics made me think of the two major ways to die in space; the cold, restrictive nature being the vast majority of space where you would freeze to the point of physical restrictive death being Saturn. The extreme heat, burning up in an atmosphere or star by where you are bombarded with extreme forces but is less likely being Mars.
I am SO glad that I found this channel. I was just transiting my bedroom from the house of Cancer and entering my bathroom which is in Scorpio, and I WAS considering buying some Ginger biscuits, but then I heard your video. Ginger biscuits, being inclined by 90 degrees to Virgo, would, I realised, lead to a bout of serious depression, so I leaned towards Taurus and purchased a packet of Cheese biscuits instead. They tasted, delicious, a very strong Caerphilly cheese with a hint of Mars dust.
My Mars is at 26 sag 59. I can confirm, I don't mind saying what's true but disrupts the system. My Jupiter in the 9th, my Sun, and Saturn/uranus at 0 cap all support it. I feel enormous power but that I must use it carefully. I just found astrology and I can't wait to make an impact. Thank you so much for this series and for the podcast and the book and the rest! I'm growing so quickly with all this high quality content to gobble up.
When quick responses to heckles was mentioned at around 1hr I thought instantly of Jimmy Carr, and sure enough, Mercury conjunct Mars, and fittingly in virgo square saturn in gemini - and its always fun to google a celebrity and see jupiter on their mc lol
I've finally got an appointment for my child for help getting more resources for them on the 12th of Jan when mars goes direct!! Mars gemini 5th house. This was organised while watching this again today.
Really enjoyed this one. Although I will say I think the passion and enthusiasm that comes with mars was maybe underplayed for the more malefic aspects? I'm an Aries rising with mars in the 7th, my oldest son is Libra rising with mars in the 7th and I'd say we are both really passionate about encouraging those we're in relationship with, we invest a lot of our energy into our relationships and encouraging those we're close to. My youngest daughter has mars in the 3rd and has a similar thing with her siblings. She is a cancer rising so it comes more with a concern, she's very concerned for her siblings and likes to keep them close. 😊❤️ My husband is a Leo rising, he has mars in the 5th conjunct his Neptune and he always has big dreams and ideas and that's where he puts his energy. 😄 My oldest daughter and my sister both have mars in the 11th and they invest a lot of their energy into friends, both have large friend circles and busy social lives. My youngest son has mars in the 6th and he definitely has a strong focus and energy in put into 'work' but work that he enjoys. So I guess I see natal mars as what we put the most of our energy too. Perhaps u already mentioned this though and I missed it. I love that it's got me thinking about it though. 😊 Always enjoy ur podcasts Chris and have learnt so much from them. Thank u.
I have a sandwich of mars in 1st Acendent and moon in 12th in leo all conjunct and I am incredibly impatient, I take instant decisions and I have incredible Will to continue even hard and undesirable circumstances. I am always ready to defend myself and my loved ones. It’s like having an instant shot of adrenaline when I get triggered…my mars is also squared by my Uranus in Scorpio. 😳 I personally think I was made to act upon my desires as I have NN and Jupiter conjunct in 2nd house. Mars is helping me to assert myself and wanting to achieve whatever I desire to achieve. My sun is also conjunct Pluto. Thank you ever so much for a wonderful podcast. I am slowly going through all episodes. ♥️🙏🏻
Great episode! I've had so many interesting insights about my own chart where Mars is combust and sandwiched between the Sun in Leo and a retrograde Mercury. A great celebrity chart for Mars is Prince! Scorpio rising with Mars in Aries in the 6H at 0 degrees!
awesome episode, I have an Aries stellium (sun, moon, mars, saturn, mercury, mc) in the 10th, my chart ruler is indeed mars (cancer rising) so this ep was insane for me!!
My son has a 5 planets in Aries 11th house whole sign: Uranus 3, (Lilith 5) Mercury/Venus 23, Jupiter 24, Mars 29. His big 3 is ♉️♌️♊️, but he is most def ♈️ first! I’m watching this vid to get a handle on how to proceed raising, but also trying to get an idea of how to handle the Mars election on 5/26 at 0300 CST (Which living in West Coast, I believe makes this election at 0308, actually.) Being a novice in astrology, any shares how to make the most of this would be greatly appreciated 😬
I've been looking foward to this episode! Mars is my chart ruler... in the sign of Cancer... in a day chart 🙃😂🤙🏻 on the bright side it has no squares or oppositions and it trines my AC, Moon and Chiron AND is conjunct Venus. Sorry, Venus.
Great information in this one. I have mars mercury Venus in cappy 2 Nd house and this is a fabulous episode. Loved the moon one too. Thank you Chris and Sylvy!
My daughter has Aries sun and rising (born on a lunar eclipse with the Moon separating from a conjunction to Mars in libra). She has super bright red hair which was the first thing the nurse said when she could see the top of her head lol.
Mars Venus conjunction here.. I can say the worst, rudest things in fights and I’m forgiven in a few days. My arguments/debates on forums/real life are seen as attractive. I am also deeply passionate about people whom I love and even my hobbies like cooking, singing, guitar gel both planet qualities really well. I think the genres of music I like too is a mixture of passionate, soft rock, ballady, with metal thrown in. I’m attracted to ppl who are intelligent and passionate even if I don’t agree with their point of view. Sometimes even being on opposite sides in a debate is really attractive to me.
I have a good Moon conjunct Mars celebrity natal chart example for the files: Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden, was born with Moon conjunct Mars in Taurus (ruler of the throat/vocal chords). Iron Maiden is a heavy metal band (Mars) who often performs songs about esoteric or mythological history themes (the Moon). Bruce is also famously a pilot and pro fencer! ✈️⚔️
Aquarius Sun, Aquarius Ascendant, Libra Moon, Aquarius Mercury, Capricorn Venus (squared by my Moon, Uranus AND Pluto annnnnd in conjunction with my Capricorn Jupiter so I basically have an invisible love life in my solitude), Best for last……Mars in Sagittarius. My Saturn in Gemini adds yet more air element. Takes all my effort to stay or maintain grounding. Or even gain grounding at all at times. My Mars is a curiosity to me so I’m very excited about this episode! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Mars in the 11th. Definitely experienced ostracization in friendship groups and dramatic friendship break ups out of nowhere. This is usually where I stood up for myself or critiqued some kind of institution. Such as one time I critiqued landlordism to a friend, not being aware that a friend was a landlord, then them taking offense and the friendship blew up. My mars is in its fall. So I put two and two together there. One group of people in my social circle I'd considered friends also ostracized me for speaking publicly about their friend who'd mistreated me. That happened around the time Pluto opposed my mars, I think it was a day or two off that being exact. Even though I was waiting for something bad to happen in the context of a group or friends by transit, I was still shocked at what transpired. Also, a friend who pushed boundaries then took offense when I found their apology lacking, because it didn't cite their boundary pushing, but my offense, so they and the friend who helped write the apology regrouped without me, and dropped off the radar. I have so few friends now because I've been burned by this experience over and over. Friendship break ups are a hidden pain tbh. But they are just as important if not more than romantic relationships. I'd say another thing is fighting for your friends - I've defended friends (or been ready to) when I've seen them come under unfair attack. Several groups I've left also because of racism, or something that misaligned with my values where everyone else/most nodded along but I either left, or i spoke up then left after an aggressive response to my, i thought, tactful calls for reflection on something I saw as problematic. Or I have come under some kind of unbearable pressure in a group where someone who got a bit fixated on me and I had to leave the group, cause the organisation wouldn't do anything. To a certain extent everyone probably goes through these conflicts. But I seem to have had friendship break ups / blow ups to a high degree in recent years especially. Also struggling to find friends who I feel safe with / are aligned with my values. So I have a tendency to push people away with indifference which is probably...not great.
Thank you for sharing at length. My son has a stellium in the 11th house Aries, including Mars, and I have observed him having issues with friends. The negative experiences for him have been with the kids in the neighborhood. He is an only child so it would have been nice to have kids around the house to play with, but they always fight, as if in total war, so we stopped encouraging he play with them. There was always something terribly demeaning brewing against him, half the time he wasn’t noticing or even offended, but I couldn’t bear to see it anymore. And that’s just what I saw. Who knows all what has happened. Oh well, then there was COVID, and nobody went outside anymore. He has his tight group of friends at school, though, but has trouble with girls due to his habit of often being rude as a way to show off, I believe. Then, on another note, he will go opposite direction and be completely butt hurt over a joke a good friend said, thinking they were dissing him, when in everyone else’s POV, they were being playful and funny. He has started to come to me for advice, thank goodness, as I think he is realizing he doesn’t always understand it all, these very strong emotions surrounding his relationships. It’s all very intense for him.
Mars conjuct Saturn in the 6-7th house (edge) meant always for me abusive relationships where i was always the one who could never raise voice and have a will power. Ever since i started my astrology and psychology journey, i make this exact thing on myself (excercising daily as a soldier, and working like a soldier, humble and step by step) , so it doesnt find me anymore from the outside, and i also dont let it anymore to happen.
Adding this Mars/Venus conjunction example: one of the biggest embroidery/cross stitch designers of the 20th century into the 21st was Marilyn Levitt-Imblum, she had a mars, venus conjunction in virgo. The constant use of a needle in and out of fabric for the sake of art and the attention to detail required for said art feels really relevant 🪡
Watching this with hindsight... Two years ago and this year, I got in a car accident on days when the sun was conjunct mars. This year in Libra, my 1H, 2 years ago in Leo 11H. The first time my car was totaled, it was over $4k in damages (but insurance covered it, and it was fixable). So I have definitely learned to PAY ATTENTION during these transits and maybe not do any excess driving if I can help it.
Thanks Chris Im really enjoying this series! Two things. My sister is 3 days older than Sylvi so it was entertaining in that context looking into my sister's chart again. Secondly Mars in my 6th I always felt manifests as confrontations in the work place. For me it has been both co workers or my bosses throughout. I have carry over from the 7th because My Sun is in the 7th and Mars' ruler is the Sun. The topic of open enemies in the 7th, I thought was a medieval horary concept. In the Hellenistic period open enemies(confrontations) is a 6th house topic. I tend to think and trust the latter. I'm a night chart so I've been able to diffuse a lot (even hold my anger back). I agree that in the context of the workplace Ive always kept myself a busy body (and can overwork myself). Thanks for reading!
This blew my mind for a variety of reasons, but I’ll speak for myself! 🤯 I have Mars in Virgo (night sect) in the 4th. ALL of my current neighbors are loud and it's infuriating. After my 4H profection prepping for this, I am moving out of my parents house for the first time to Denver. I don’t have the best relationship with my family and have always wanted to move long distance. Everyone on my mom’s side of the family has emigrated long distance from their place of origin as well.
Mars in 3H .. My brother and me bond over sports. We don’t play it as much as we discuss the games like football and cricket and as kids we both were into wrestling and video games
My father has mars in Leo in the 9th house (nothign else in that house for him) and it seemed spot on to me ( education/ travel/ all things foreign) he was a career Air Force airman, took advantage of the military opportunity to travel to go back to the country his mother was from, where he then also met my mother, due to his job, and he travelled a lot and we moved often becaues of him being in the military.
Thanks Chris and Sylvi! As I write this transiting Mars is almost exactly conjunct my natal Saturn at 26º10' Virgo, so I appreciate your timing in putting this video out :)
During Mercury Mars, I'm currently going through a diagnosis for ADHD & I have both Mercury & Mars in my 9th house of Aries! I also have Moon opoosite Mars in 3rd house of Libra, I am always snacking!
really enjoyed the episode, one thing i find funny about mars in the 2nd significations if aggressive spending but in reality i actually hate spending any money ever, but my taurus saturn that is *through degrees* trine my leo mars does fit the signification of just going "dont" to mars saying "do"
1st house Mars here - have been lactose intolerant my whole life. that bit around 51:00 about spicy foods and milk (Mars/Cancer) made me crack up. i love spicy foods!!
Hey! I have Mars (conjunct between Jupiter and Venus) in ♐ 9th house and I often find myself either in arguments about astrology, religion, beliefs and spirituality or in fun, deep, philosophical conversations. I love people who are open to explore these topics. And if our spiritual beliefs don't align, we can't be friends. I spend A LOT of energy exploring occultism and religious topics, seeking higher knowledge. I come off very strong and confident about these topics, even though some time later I've changed my beliefs and what I said yesterday no longer is true for me. 😄 I have Mars square Saturn in ♓currently going through the return. Finally facing my anger, hidden fears and negative beliefs that are holding me back from achieving spiritual awakening. I feel stuck. Like I know it all in theory, but I struggle with managing those emotions and thoughts. I have been using alcohol and marijuana as an escape for years.. I hope I will be able to find happiness being sober. I also quit University - TWICE, and never got a degree (even in Culture & Social Anthropology). And often skipped classes in highschool. Another Mars in Sag 9th house square Saturn in Pisces 12th house moment - when i was little, i was angry at God, i shouted at them. I told them to prove they exist, or else I will do something bad.. I could talk about Mars forever, I have so many stories. It's the driver of my life, cause I'm ♈Rising, gotta make my own podcast about this, haha (one day). My Big 6: ♏♋♈♏♐♐
Hello, there! My big six: ♎️♎️♏️♏️♏️♎️ (Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, Mars) My Libran Sun, Moon, and Mars are all in the 12th house. I have always seen / experienced my mom as this fierce, independent, soldier woman (which she is really: big ♐️ energy, was in the last battalion of the WACs / US veteran) but since I’ve become a mom, I find myself channeling that energy a lot too. Fiercely protective of my children, and my home. I’ve also found anger/conflict/aggression to be very difficult to manage at times, and have had to find actual constructive ways to work things out, although my go to has been / can be a nasty passive aggressiveness. My younger (half) sister has 0 degrees Mars in Aries, and I always joke it’s why we didn’t grow up together (the fights!) but she’s really taught me a lot about the difference between assertiveness vs aggression. I get irritated and angry with myself a lot, and it can implode in my environment. I need a LOT of alone time to regather/recooperate. It’s funny that while I may mishandle my own defenses/offenses, When it comes to serving or protecting others, my Mars shines (Aries 6th house?). I truly feel I am my own worse energy at times too (12th house?) Just finished listening to the podcast version of this episode (catching up planet wise!) and really enjoyed it. Hopefully my insights add a little more flavor! Chris, if you ever wanna run fro your money (experiences?) with that Scorpio Stellium, let me know! According to Donna Cunninghams’s Pluto score chart, I’ve scored an 80! 😳
I have my natal leo mars in 11th house applying to a less than a degree off square w my retrograde scorpio venus. My moon is separating from my mars from less than a degree away. @ my recent mars return I had so much anxiety @ a social gathering that I ran away & had a terrible bike accident. Still wouldn't trade this mars placement for the world!!! It keeps life interesting!!!!
Omg I finally see what happened. These last two years have been so hard on me. Filled with fear and restriction of a type of feeling halted, as if I cannot do the things that I need to bravely let myself go into. As if stopped out of absolute terror. So I had a kundalini awakening that has been going strong for the last 3 years (a twelth house perfection year ugh). I have saturn in my 11th house in scorpio and mars in my second in aquarius (where saturn is at right now)... It has dawned on my for the last two years that saturn was taring me apart. Not just that, saturn (as if today) is at the exact degree of my mars. I know they are supposed to be receiving each other through mutual reception, but are in a sign based square as well, also mars is my most malific planet (I'm diurnal).and is square the mc in the eleventh. I know I'll get over this after saturn is out of aquarius, but I am starting to really dislike how slow saturn is. One thing it has done is push me to work on myself in the last two years (in many ways including spiritual practices, eating better, paying attention to vitamins and minerals, trying to pay attention to what kind of content I watch, or read (watching what I invite into my sphere if influence)... But it feels as if I have been up against a giant wave crashing over my life for two years straight! Like an almost impassable wall that I have been struggling to fix. I just want to know that because they are in mutual reception that maybe I will come out on the other side ok and not go insane from this amount of existential intensity. Criss I hope you see this and can give me a little insight on this. I feel like this has been the hardest time in my life, even way more extreme and painful than my saturn return at 27/28. I just want this to get over with already! It has given me a ton of things in my life that I wouldn't have access to if it wasn't for this transit, but I just want to be ok. I am tired of fighting this! At least I get it in a way now! Saturn is causing restriction to the bravery that I need through such a hard time. Like waves of striving as hard as I can to fix everything while at the same time feeling hopeless to change it.
I'm a relative beginner, but with a nocturnal chart, Sun conjunct Mars in the 4th house in Aries, Moon in the 11th in Scorpio, and Capricorn rising, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mars is my Master of Nativity. For better or worse. Usually, the latter.
My signs are ♓♑♊♒♑♌ I'm listening to this while trying to put my son to sleep who is restless af. His signs are ♐♒♊♐♐♈ He has sagg. As 3 of his personal planets and an Aquarius moon like you Chris. He really does love his freedom and he is only 9 months. I can already see how brilliant he is. I call him my lucky number 9 baby. I waited all my life to be able to read his chart. 🥰🥰 Namaste 🙏🏼
My Gemini Mars for me very much interconnects me 9th and 10th houses since it's in the late 20 degrees (forgot exact). I am a copywriter while i'm completing my masters in propaganda studies, specifically nationalism like 200+ miles from where I was born which in this country is a LONG way away. While for many mars is seen as bad in a way, and while I am Venus dominant in my chart, Mars is very special for me as for how I am directing myself in life.
I also very is very easy to work under pressure, as well as handle stressful situations despite the fact that I hate it. I despite things just dragging as well.
Venus retrograde conjunct Mars in Scorpio third house co-present with Uranus and Mercury natal. I won’t even begin to catalog the shock and awe this transit represents in my life- It would make an interesting book and maybe a series 😆 (major drama!!!) Since I have Saturn on my ascendant in Virgo, these stories will probably never see the light of day. I also tend to exert a lot of energy striving to reconcile opposites and building or maintain bridges. I’m pretty good at keeping volatile situations and people at peace (including myself) and there are no shortage of situations in my life that need this type of vigilance. I have worked in difficult situations doing social work and also briefly driving ambulance. Now I manage a health food store, but feel more like a therapist and physician as I am a magnet for people who seek physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Man, I could go on forever with the literal examples of how it has manifested in both positive and negative ways.
this was very insightful. aries sun (with mars, in 4th house) - scorpio moon and midheaven - capricorn ascendant, nighttime chart. so it seems like my mars is being used pretty well overall. mars is transiting my 9th house right now and i had a minor eye injury yesterday while trying to hammer something with tacks during a storm in the dark, lol. the comments you made during the 4th house discussion relating to wanting to keep arguments and etc private really resonated with me. i definitely find myself speaking in hushed tones and trying to "act natural" when i'm out in public having a heated situation with someone.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. John 15:12 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful Colossians 3:15..
As someone with Mars in sag in the 5th I’ve always been good at sports but I especially enjoy kickboxing which I thought was an interesting correlation to sag representing the legs on the body. I also cackled at the comment made about the mma fighter who didn’t really care about winning, but just wanted to chill at home and smoke weed because it’s so relatable with my Mars conjunct Venus.

@@theoldgod9 idk y ppl expose themselves
They could have an Aries rising? Lol
@@theoldgod9
My rising is in Aries so for me, this does fall in exact house/sign placement, but for most people, you’re correct in that the houses will not align w their house ruler.
Thank u
Chris I laughed SO hard when you said, "Are we emotionally and spiritually prepared to read Valens?" 🤣😂😂 This was alao me right before I started your course (which was AMAZING by the way!). Thank you both for this lovely convo! Sylvi has such a way of bringing everything back to the duality of what is life 💜
Chris’ comic genius is vastly underrated 😂
Me: What is Valen?
2 minutes later : Oh.
Wow. Um.... that was intense
Hey guys - I was just looking at musician Tracy Chapman's natal chart and thought it might be interesting when considering how Mars applies to the life of the native.
Tracy has a lot of action in the Mars-ruled signs, with a stellium in Aries (Mars at 0, Sun at 10, and Jupiter/Mercury conjunct at 26/27) and Moon and Neptune in Scorpio.
The song "Fast Car" speaks of needing to make split-second decisions to escape being permanently trapped by the compulsion to enable the darknesses/addictions in others that are holding us back in life. Such a perfect Sun/Moon placement for the person who gave voice to this brilliant and timeless piece of music.
I love the commentary on Mars being the 'Ride or Die' friend. So true. My friends know I can handle extreme situations. I have bailed them out, been the backup bouncer, the protector. Aries Mars conjunct Jupiter, where there is a will there is a way. I have intervened in suicidal situations with friends and family... crazy intense situations. Aries Mars trine Sag Neptune/Rising, conjunct Jupiter, sextile Gem Sun/Mercury, square Cancer Saturn. Mars is busy in my chart, a def asset even though sect is wrong, I think Jupiter gives it a boost, and 5th house is a good place.
Sylvi - is AWESOME - calm as talking about Mars - LOVE her. I have Mars in Capricorn in the 8th House and I am sure this planet has saved my life many times - just stopping and thinking things out - instead of reacting. Stamina and courage and tenacity - not getting lost in emotion, being logical, practical and making hard decisions with the right data. I am often the one who is saying 'hang on hang on calm down - go back to the beginning and tell me what happened" trying to calm people down and stop them from reacting in a very violent Mars manner. I am also in my local Fire Brigade - and my great skill is 'situational awareness' I get that from Mars - it is like a game of chess - survey the area - what can hurt you - where are the potential dangers - what steps can we take to avoid the dangers. Thank you both this was great. My greatest loves have had Natal Mars placed right on my Natal Venus - magnetic attraction and great you know what...
I have mars in Cap (Rx) i related what you say
I woke up unusually early and thought I'd listen. I drifted back to sleep and dreamt we were sitting around a picnic table, a waitress brought us tea. You two were chatting away. I felt really grateful that you agreed to meet me here and share your insights. I kept waiting for a break in the convo to say thanks but none came. Other people started joining, sitting around the table. Then Sylvie got up & while still talking, climbed a tree and was swinging from the branches (I'll relisten, I suspect arborist had been mentioned) while talking about liking physical work. I kept wanting to suggest catering, it's so physically demanding. The whole thing was delightful and funny. Thanks guys! 😁✨
This was sooo good. My husband is out walking off the fire in his Sag Mars legs again whilst I’m aggressively taking notes as usual. The most fitting description of my Gemini Mars ever!!
Mars to me is like a Father that just wants his child to be successful. What ever you want, he is like "Go! Do it! Do that thing you really want!" Its danger is that Mars does not care what is moral and what is not. He just wants you to fulfil your desires. So yes Mars might get you in a fight but he is also the one who wakes you up in the morning. The one that helps fight what ever obstacle is facing you. He is the one who makes you stand up for yourself and leave that job, relationship or whatever is making you miserable. Just make sure you let your Mars have his victories and dare to do something tiny (breaking a plate, running in the woods, talking loudly or being loud in general) so he want have force you take drastic and dangerous actions.
♏ ♎ ♓ ♐ ♑ ♋ can't wait to discreetly listen to this in my cubicle tomorrow! lol
😅🤣🤣🤣
Stick it to the man!

i have been waiting the malefic planet part of this series since it began cause my chart is really just mars and saturn trying to see who can do more damage via angularity/rulership and im very excited to finally crown a winner lmao. thank you /again/ for all that you do and offer this community w this channel!! :)
Same but it's Mars and Venus arguing over who's more important. For every trine Venus has, Mars has it as a square lmafo
LAST THING i've got mars square mercury and have both adhd as well as a rare skin condition that causes my hands to turn bright red and get very warm when overtsimulated/in extreme temperatures!!! i love astrology!!!!
@@muckraker636 LMAOO thats me with mars and jupiter!!!
Me too! Mars and Saturn are the most 'damaging' planets to me haha! Mars conjunct the Sun in 12th house and Saturn conjunct Venus in 1st house. 🤕
@@cruelyear Mars does more damage if it's starved. Saturn usually does more damage though but I'd say it may help Venus if there's one planet it aspects. Putting longevity and practicality into relationships. Saturn gets helped in Mercury and Venus signs or being aspected by Venus and or Mercury. It's starved in the signs of Mars, Moon, and Sun. Saturn represents work ethic, when it's being harmed it can't do the job that it's supposed to do. Getting through this world a o k. Saturn isn't this bad planet, it's getting things finished, work ethic. It's so easy to say that Saturn is a harmful planet but in reality, for the majority of people, it's starved. My Saturn itself is starved so it's harder to get work done and be consistent.
I can’t wait for the Saturn episode!

loved the Saturn episode ♥️
Loving all these planetary deep dives!

I have Mars in it’s fall but I’m a “ride or die” TAP Patreon supporter ✊🏽💪🏽💀😂 Love your work Chris and Sylvi ty ✨
Out of bounds Mars rising in Cap here (con asc). Can confirm that my hair throws red no matter what colour I dye it so these days I tend to go for a red tint. I still get acne at 35 years of age and especially when I eat dairy. I’ve been told I always “look busy” or that I’m “going somewhere”. I naturally walk fast and have lots of scars - especially burns ones from when I was younger. My partner tells me all the time that I’m clumsy - true- but it’s usually because I’m trying to do multiple things at once.
Great talk. And I’m a redhead: Aries Rising and Moon, Mars conjunct Jupiter. Fiery in a few ways haha.
I'm a redhead as well. Scorpio Moon and rising, Mars exalted in Capricorn 😁
Same. Redhead here. But Cap Asc and Mars in 12H Sag (in separating sextile from Jupiter in 10th). I can feel the energy coursing through my legs all the time-since I was a kid, I’ve had to move/exercise daily to relieve it. Thank you so much for validating what I’ve suspected about that! People around me don’t get it.
@@0827ginger I love that it's even in your username. Being a redhead is not a hair color, it's a personality ;)
♈♈♉, ♂️ in ♉. I have been waiting for this one! Love these videos, love the podcast, thank you for continuing to offer this expertise to all of us. Lives have been changed ❤️
I always look forward to your podcasts. I’m not an astrologer but I’m highly fascinated by it.
Oh my gosh I have Mars on the same degree of my rising and in Aries. 😂Suffice to say it's the ruler of my chart. I'm also learning about astrology a lot! This is an amazing episode for me to hear!
nice to see that Sylvie was borned two days after me, we were both blessed with the same sky
(apologies in advance for how many comments i leave on this video) the bit about courage in the face of danger is reminding me of a quote from poet Richard Siken, who's got mars in scorpio, that says: "We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven, which brings us back to the hero's shoulders and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it." feels very fitting for mars in it's water sign lol.
Very insightful! Though, this episode should’ve been filmed during a bar fight
Good to know that I’ll be experiencing plenty of road rage when mars goes into my first house in my Mars year this month
Edit: I just wanted to let you know, that the reason that somebody might try to learn motorcycle riding while profected Mars transits their first house cusp may correlate with the fact that Mars is squaring their fourth house cusp.
So like a death-wish? 😆
Seeing red isn't just a symbolic saying, it can be a very real physical phenomenon that is very much associated with anger.
Sylvi explains concepts SO clearly (so does Chris of course). Really great episode, clear, easy to grasp, great examples. The intro had me a bit concerned but DAMN it got good!
Really? I think Chris did ALL the heavy lifting on this one.
🎉 Thank you Both! I really love the Mars Saturn thoroughness of this episode…
Mars conjunct Saturn… can be: get involved & get serious! 🙏😁🤩
Interesting when you guys mentioned milk as being the antidote to hot peppers and the reference to cancer and dairy products. I have a very weak Mars in cancer in the 12th house but I became an ardent activist for animal rights when I learned about the dairy industry and how horribly animals are treated in the animal agriculture industry and the devastating impact on the whole planet. But fighting that fight is very emotionally draining and upsetting, and the ridicule you get from other people is just incredible. It's a very frustrated and sad Mars.
You're not alone. I also do have a Mars in 12th house conjunct the Sun. And alas, I have a day chart.
A very very sad Mars indeed. 😔
Super appreciate this. I am one of those Mars in Gemini aggressive note-takers with lots of pressure on the paper. Interestingly, I also have a specific type of eczema that is confined to my hands.
i like this guest, she's really blunt. this episode speaks to me
as a scorpio rising with mars in the 10th, I can say: thanks for this episode and the part where u say Mars does not always means just the military or violent aspecto, but also the preventing of or the "other side of the coin" I find it hard to translate into my life when I hear the typical Martial themes and how they can be associated into the 10th, although I am pretty straightforward and aggresive towards life in general... I could not be less interested in the Army for example. Hope that made sense...
I wish you’d talk more about mars/Venus. Especially square aspects 🤠
Mars is on my MC in ♌ 10th, square the Sun in ♉. Being newer to astrology, I truly find all of your talks fascinating and extraordinarily helpful in my understanding of this hobby/study. Thanks Chris (and Sylvi)! ♉7 ♍11♏ 1♉ 7♈ 6♌ 10
The discussion of fighters with Mars in detriment, and the road rage during Mars transits, reminds me of times I've had Mars transiting my Cancer Asc... last time I had to undergo this very painful treatment for my hip that involved stabbing long needles deep into my muscles, however, it was very effective for healing.
Just remembering another transit of Mars over my Asc in Cancer... my youngest child has Mars in Cancer, so around their birth I had all this wild stuff going on. Hopefully no one is too squeamish on the topic, but I chose to try to breastfeed as much as I could, even though I'd previously had some surgeries on my chest and breasts that would make milk production difficult. It ended up being quite difficult at the beginning especially, with the nursing process often drawing blood and causing a lot of pain. So, yeah, was just struck by this image memory of blood & milk... what a very Mars in Cancer image.
Scorpio rising here with Mars confirmed as my nativity ruler due to my sun and moon both being placed in cadent houses. Yes I watched that episode ;)
As someone truly ruled by Mars, I can attest to the intense difficulty this planet can cause in life. At the same time, it’s been my greatest gift, as it bestows warrior-like resolve when it comes to physical endurance and dealing with stressful situations. The sense of paranoia and fear, no matter how good I may believe I feel in any moment, is always lurking in the background. Mars is always on the edge, surveying, ready to fight, to protect, to defeat the enemy.
Imagine this, as these are my Mars aspects:
Mars Conjunct Mercury - ADHD city! Hyperactive mind and hands. Too many ideas!
Mars Conjunct Pluto - Beast Mode Archetype - Take the warrior energy of Mars and combine it with Darth Vader. Yes, running away is the right instinct. People literally look at me sometimes in complete disbelief. It’s a mix of intrigue, attraction, repulsion and confusion, all at the same time. I feel that way all the time.
Mars Trine Moon - Yep, that’s a good one and I think is part of my saving grace. Protects me from those potentially destructive Mercury and Pluto conjunctions. My emotions and physical self working together in unison.
Mars Trine Saturn - Can I get a hell yea! Both malefics working together for constructive outcomes.
Mars Sextile Venus - Ahh, helps me breathe.
Libra Sun and Cap Moon
Sylvi did such a good job and I’m really loving the Astrology4bros side of things too. It’s nice to be able to have both fun and serious analysis come from someone so pleasant and interesting!!
Subtly made and simply put but very poignant and strong points by Sylvia on Mars. Very relatable. Thanks for this wonderful episode :)
For some reason will the heating nature of the two malefics made me think of the two major ways to die in space; the cold, restrictive nature being the vast majority of space where you would freeze to the point of physical restrictive death being Saturn. The extreme heat, burning up in an atmosphere or star by where you are bombarded with extreme forces but is less likely being Mars.
I am SO glad that I found this channel. I was just transiting my bedroom from the house of Cancer and entering my bathroom which is in Scorpio, and I WAS considering buying some Ginger biscuits, but then I heard your video. Ginger biscuits, being inclined by 90 degrees to Virgo, would, I realised, lead to a bout of serious depression, so I leaned towards Taurus and purchased a packet of Cheese biscuits instead. They tasted, delicious, a very strong Caerphilly cheese with a hint of Mars dust.
My Mars is at 26 sag 59. I can confirm, I don't mind saying what's true but disrupts the system. My Jupiter in the 9th, my Sun, and Saturn/uranus at 0 cap all support it. I feel enormous power but that I must use it carefully. I just found astrology and I can't wait to make an impact. Thank you so much for this series and for the podcast and the book and the rest! I'm growing so quickly with all this high quality content to gobble up.
When quick responses to heckles was mentioned at around 1hr I thought instantly of Jimmy Carr, and sure enough, Mercury conjunct Mars, and fittingly in virgo square saturn in gemini - and its always fun to google a celebrity and see jupiter on their mc lol
I've finally got an appointment for my child for help getting more resources for them on the 12th of Jan when mars goes direct!! Mars gemini 5th house. This was organised while watching this again today.
Really enjoyed this one. Although I will say I think the passion and enthusiasm that comes with mars was maybe underplayed for the more malefic aspects? I'm an Aries rising with mars in the 7th, my oldest son is Libra rising with mars in the 7th and I'd say we are both really passionate about encouraging those we're in relationship with, we invest a lot of our energy into our relationships and encouraging those we're close to. My youngest daughter has mars in the 3rd and has a similar thing with her siblings. She is a cancer rising so it comes more with a concern, she's very concerned for her siblings and likes to keep them close. 😊❤️ My husband is a Leo rising, he has mars in the 5th conjunct his Neptune and he always has big dreams and ideas and that's where he puts his energy. 😄 My oldest daughter and my sister both have mars in the 11th and they invest a lot of their energy into friends, both have large friend circles and busy social lives. My youngest son has mars in the 6th and he definitely has a strong focus and energy in put into 'work' but work that he enjoys. So I guess I see natal mars as what we put the most of our energy too. Perhaps u already mentioned this though and I missed it. I love that it's got me thinking about it though. 😊 Always enjoy ur podcasts Chris and have learnt so much from them. Thank u.
Loved the episode and loving the series! Also LOVED the idea of a video about astrology tattoos, that would be so fun!!!
Titled DONT GET TATTOOS
Hi all, excited to settle in & watch this conversation. Love your background, Sylvi
Great episode. Mars transits are especially challenging, particularly at conjunctions with natal planets and house cusps.
I have a sandwich of mars in 1st Acendent and moon in 12th in leo all conjunct and I am incredibly impatient, I take instant decisions and I have incredible Will to continue even hard and undesirable circumstances. I am always ready to defend myself and my loved ones. It’s like having an instant shot of adrenaline when I get triggered…my mars is also squared by my Uranus in Scorpio. 😳 I personally think I was made to act upon my desires as I have NN and Jupiter conjunct in 2nd house. Mars is helping me to assert myself and wanting to achieve whatever I desire to achieve. My sun is also conjunct Pluto. Thank you ever so much for a wonderful podcast. I am slowly going through all episodes. ♥️🙏🏻
Great episode! I've had so many interesting insights about my own chart where Mars is combust and sandwiched between the Sun in Leo and a retrograde Mercury.
A great celebrity chart for Mars is Prince! Scorpio rising with Mars in Aries in the 6H at 0 degrees!
awesome episode, I have an Aries stellium (sun, moon, mars, saturn, mercury, mc) in the 10th, my chart ruler is indeed mars (cancer rising) so this ep was insane for me!!
My son has a 5 planets in Aries 11th house whole sign: Uranus 3, (Lilith 5)
Mercury/Venus 23, Jupiter 24, Mars 29. His big 3 is ♉️♌️♊️, but he is most def ♈️ first!
I’m watching this vid to get a handle on how to proceed raising, but also trying to get an idea of how to handle the Mars election on 5/26 at 0300 CST (Which living in West Coast, I believe makes this election at 0308, actually.) Being a novice in astrology, any shares how to make the most of this would be greatly appreciated 😬
Remedial measure 🤣 I love the combo of dry mars-y humour between you two
I've been looking foward to this episode! Mars is my chart ruler... in the sign of Cancer... in a day chart 🙃😂🤙🏻 on the bright side it has no squares or oppositions and it trines my AC, Moon and Chiron AND is conjunct Venus. Sorry, Venus.
Thank you so much, another amazing episode with heaps of useful information and another cool astrologer to follow
Great information in this one.
I have mars mercury Venus in cappy 2 Nd house and this is a fabulous episode. Loved the moon one too.
Thank you Chris and Sylvy!
My daughter has Aries sun and rising (born on a lunar eclipse with the Moon separating from a conjunction to Mars in libra). She has super bright red hair which was the first thing the nurse said when she could see the top of her head lol.
Wow
That's awesome!
Hi ! What happened to Sylvi, she seems to have disappeared from the web... ? she has such a nice vib...
Mars Venus conjunction here.. I can say the worst, rudest things in fights and I’m forgiven in a few days. My arguments/debates on forums/real life are seen as attractive. I am also deeply passionate about people whom I love and even my hobbies like cooking, singing, guitar gel both planet qualities really well. I think the genres of music I like too is a mixture of passionate, soft rock, ballady, with metal thrown in. I’m attracted to ppl who are intelligent and passionate even if I don’t agree with their point of view. Sometimes even being on opposite sides in a debate is really attractive to me.
Mars in Pisces 4th trine Jupiter cancer 8th house,help out my life experience a lot thanks for this episode 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh my god the aggressive note taking is incredible. I have a gemini stellium (including mars) and I will hurt myself to write.
Thanks so much I loved this whole conversation💕 and this new generation of young, intelligent and beautiful astrologers💕
I have a good Moon conjunct Mars celebrity natal chart example for the files:
Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden, was born with Moon conjunct Mars in Taurus (ruler of the throat/vocal chords). Iron Maiden is a heavy metal band (Mars) who often performs songs about esoteric or mythological history themes (the Moon). Bruce is also famously a pilot and pro fencer! ✈️⚔️
Wow I LOVE the tidbits. I'm looking up the redhair study lol I have a highly influential Mars (8H Cap etc etc) and I'm a redhead!!
Aquarius Sun, Aquarius Ascendant, Libra Moon, Aquarius Mercury, Capricorn Venus (squared by my Moon, Uranus AND Pluto annnnnd in conjunction with my Capricorn Jupiter so I basically have an invisible love life in my solitude), Best for last……Mars in Sagittarius. My Saturn in Gemini adds yet more air element. Takes all my effort to stay or maintain grounding. Or even gain grounding at all at times. My Mars is a curiosity to me so I’m very excited about this episode! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Murray Clark was a bear trainer in the town I grew up in. He was born January 26, 1927 in west Milan NH
Mars in the 10th as self employment and self motivation? Insubordination. Really enjoyed. Thanks
Mars in the 11th. Definitely experienced ostracization in friendship groups and dramatic friendship break ups out of nowhere. This is usually where I stood up for myself or critiqued some kind of institution. Such as one time I critiqued landlordism to a friend, not being aware that a friend was a landlord, then them taking offense and the friendship blew up. My mars is in its fall. So I put two and two together there. One group of people in my social circle I'd considered friends also ostracized me for speaking publicly about their friend who'd mistreated me. That happened around the time Pluto opposed my mars, I think it was a day or two off that being exact. Even though I was waiting for something bad to happen in the context of a group or friends by transit, I was still shocked at what transpired. Also, a friend who pushed boundaries then took offense when I found their apology lacking, because it didn't cite their boundary pushing, but my offense, so they and the friend who helped write the apology regrouped without me, and dropped off the radar.
I have so few friends now because I've been burned by this experience over and over. Friendship break ups are a hidden pain tbh. But they are just as important if not more than romantic relationships. I'd say another thing is fighting for your friends - I've defended friends (or been ready to) when I've seen them come under unfair attack.
Several groups I've left also because of racism, or something that misaligned with my values where everyone else/most nodded along but I either left, or i spoke up then left after an aggressive response to my, i thought, tactful calls for reflection on something I saw as problematic. Or I have come under some kind of unbearable pressure in a group where someone who got a bit fixated on me and I had to leave the group, cause the organisation wouldn't do anything.
To a certain extent everyone probably goes through these conflicts. But I seem to have had friendship break ups / blow ups to a high degree in recent years especially.
Also struggling to find friends who I feel safe with / are aligned with my values. So I have a tendency to push people away with indifference which is probably...not great.
Thank you for sharing at length. My son has a stellium in the 11th house Aries, including Mars, and I have observed him having issues with friends. The negative experiences for him have been with the kids in the neighborhood. He is an only child so it would have been nice to have kids around the house to play with, but they always fight, as if in total war, so we stopped encouraging he play with them. There was always something terribly demeaning brewing against him, half the time he wasn’t noticing or even offended, but I couldn’t bear to see it anymore. And that’s just what I saw. Who knows all what has happened. Oh well, then there was COVID, and nobody went outside anymore. He has his tight group of friends at school, though, but has trouble with girls due to his habit of often being rude as a way to show off, I believe. Then, on another note, he will go opposite direction and be completely butt hurt over a joke a good friend said, thinking they were dissing him, when in everyone else’s POV, they were being playful and funny. He has started to come to me for advice, thank goodness, as I think he is realizing he doesn’t always understand it all, these very strong emotions surrounding his relationships. It’s all very intense for him.
Ooh fascinating! *Mars Scorpio* "ride or die" & Vedic Aries rising ♡ also in the Saturnian club! With a *10th house* stellium in Aquarius ☆
Mars conjuct Saturn in the 6-7th house (edge) meant always for me abusive relationships where i was always the one who could never raise voice and have a will power. Ever since i started my astrology and psychology journey, i make this exact thing on myself (excercising daily as a soldier, and working like a soldier, humble and step by step) , so it doesnt find me anymore from the outside, and i also dont let it anymore to happen.
Really enjoyed this informative look at Mars! Thanks Chris and Sylvi!
Virgo Sun & Mercury (&jupiter) on the MC. Sagittarius rising. Pisces moon. Libra Venus. Cancer Mars! ♍️ ♐️ ♓️ ♎️ ♋️
Adding this Mars/Venus conjunction example: one of the biggest embroidery/cross stitch designers of the 20th century into the 21st was Marilyn Levitt-Imblum, she had a mars, venus conjunction in virgo. The constant use of a needle in and out of fabric for the sake of art and the attention to detail required for said art feels really relevant 🪡
Watching this with hindsight...
Two years ago and this year, I got in a car accident on days when the sun was conjunct mars. This year in Libra, my 1H, 2 years ago in Leo 11H.
The first time my car was totaled, it was over $4k in damages (but insurance covered it, and it was fixable). So I have definitely learned to PAY ATTENTION during these transits and maybe not do any excess driving if I can help it.
My mars is in Aries this is why I’m watching this 3 years later 🔥😮💨
Sylvi is beyond insightful . loved this episode.
Thanks Chris Im really enjoying this series! Two things. My sister is 3 days older than Sylvi so it was entertaining in that context looking into my sister's chart again.
Secondly Mars in my 6th I always felt manifests as confrontations in the work place. For me it has been both co workers or my bosses throughout. I have carry over from the 7th because My Sun is in the 7th and Mars' ruler is the Sun. The topic of open enemies in the 7th, I thought was a medieval horary concept. In the Hellenistic period open enemies(confrontations) is a 6th house topic. I tend to think and trust the latter. I'm a night chart so I've been able to diffuse a lot (even hold my anger back). I agree that in the context of the workplace Ive always kept myself a busy body (and can overwork myself). Thanks for reading!
This blew my mind for a variety of reasons, but I’ll speak for myself! 🤯 I have Mars in Virgo (night sect) in the 4th. ALL of my current neighbors are loud and it's infuriating. After my 4H profection prepping for this, I am moving out of my parents house for the first time to Denver. I don’t have the best relationship with my family and have always wanted to move long distance. Everyone on my mom’s side of the family has emigrated long distance from their place of origin as well.
Mars in 3H .. My brother and me bond over sports. We don’t play it as much as we discuss the games like football and cricket and as kids we both were into wrestling and video games
My father has mars in Leo in the 9th house (nothign else in that house for him) and it seemed spot on to me ( education/ travel/ all things foreign) he was a career Air Force airman, took advantage of the military opportunity to travel to go back to the country his mother was from, where he then also met my mother, due to his job, and he travelled a lot and we moved often becaues of him being in the military.
Thanks Chris and Sylvi! As I write this transiting Mars is almost exactly conjunct my natal Saturn at 26º10' Virgo, so I appreciate your timing in putting this video out :)
During Mercury Mars, I'm currently going through a diagnosis for ADHD & I have both Mercury & Mars in my 9th house of Aries! I also have Moon opoosite Mars in 3rd house of Libra, I am always snacking!
really enjoyed the episode, one thing i find funny about mars in the 2nd significations if aggressive spending but in reality i actually hate spending any money ever, but my taurus saturn that is *through degrees* trine my leo mars does fit the signification of just going "dont" to mars saying "do"
She’s so straightforward, pretty and amazing background..!..
I love the Abu Mashar interpretatios as I've often referred to myself as the middle brother, as a woman with many martian tendencies and superpowers..
1st house Mars here - have been lactose intolerant my whole life. that bit around 51:00 about spicy foods and milk (Mars/Cancer) made me crack up. i love spicy foods!!
Listening to this I didn't know what combination you were talking about sometimes.......would you mention it more often?👍
This is so awesome!! As someone w a prominent Mars (conj my decadent and Pluto) gained some awesome insight 👍💟
Great episode, very helpful! I'd love to see an episode on length of life techniques:)
I'm watching this video and my Aries rising baby is working on standing independently. No joke.. I hate when the astrology is too literal
Hey! I have Mars (conjunct between Jupiter and Venus) in ♐ 9th house and I often find myself either in arguments about astrology, religion, beliefs and spirituality or in fun, deep, philosophical conversations. I love people who are open to explore these topics. And if our spiritual beliefs don't align, we can't be friends.
I spend A LOT of energy exploring occultism and religious topics, seeking higher knowledge. I come off very strong and confident about these topics, even though some time later I've changed my beliefs and what I said yesterday no longer is true for me. 😄
I have Mars square Saturn in ♓currently going through the return. Finally facing my anger, hidden fears and negative beliefs that are holding me back from achieving spiritual awakening. I feel stuck. Like I know it all in theory, but I struggle with managing those emotions and thoughts.
I have been using alcohol and marijuana as an escape for years.. I hope I will be able to find happiness being sober.
I also quit University - TWICE, and never got a degree (even in Culture & Social Anthropology). And often skipped classes in highschool.
Another Mars in Sag 9th house square Saturn in Pisces 12th house moment - when i was little, i was angry at God, i shouted at them. I told them to prove they exist, or else I will do something bad..
I could talk about Mars forever, I have so many stories. It's the driver of my life, cause I'm ♈Rising, gotta make my own podcast about this, haha (one day).
My Big 6: ♏♋♈♏♐♐
My first view on this channel. Subbed 🙂
The 3 F’s Fight; Flight; (Mating)
😂
Hello, there! My big six: ♎️♎️♏️♏️♏️♎️
(Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, Mars)
My Libran Sun, Moon, and Mars are all in the 12th house.
I have always seen / experienced my mom as this fierce, independent, soldier woman (which she is really: big ♐️ energy, was in the last battalion of the WACs / US veteran) but since I’ve become a mom, I find myself channeling that energy a lot too.
Fiercely protective of my children, and my home.
I’ve also found anger/conflict/aggression to be very difficult to manage at times, and have had to find actual constructive ways to work things out, although my go to has been / can be a nasty passive aggressiveness.
My younger (half) sister has 0 degrees Mars in Aries, and I always joke it’s why we didn’t grow up together (the fights!) but she’s really taught me a lot about the difference between assertiveness vs aggression.
I get irritated and angry with myself a lot, and it can implode in my environment. I need a LOT of alone time to regather/recooperate.
It’s funny that while I may mishandle my own defenses/offenses, When it comes to serving or protecting others, my Mars shines (Aries 6th house?).
I truly feel I am my own worse energy at times too (12th house?)
Just finished listening to the podcast version of this episode (catching up planet wise!) and really enjoyed it.
Hopefully my insights add a little more flavor!
Chris, if you ever wanna run fro your money (experiences?) with that Scorpio Stellium, let me know! According to Donna Cunninghams’s Pluto score chart, I’ve scored an 80! 😳
I have my natal leo mars in 11th house applying to a less than a degree off square w my retrograde scorpio venus. My moon is separating from my mars from less than a degree away.
@ my recent mars return I had so much anxiety @ a social gathering that I ran away & had a terrible bike accident.
Still wouldn't trade this mars placement for the world!!! It keeps life interesting!!!!
Omg I finally see what happened. These last two years have been so hard on me. Filled with fear and restriction of a type of feeling halted, as if I cannot do the things that I need to bravely let myself go into. As if stopped out of absolute terror. So I had a kundalini awakening that has been going strong for the last 3 years (a twelth house perfection year ugh). I have saturn in my 11th house in scorpio and mars in my second in aquarius (where saturn is at right now)... It has dawned on my for the last two years that saturn was taring me apart. Not just that, saturn (as if today) is at the exact degree of my mars. I know they are supposed to be receiving each other through mutual reception, but are in a sign based square as well, also mars is my most malific planet (I'm diurnal).and is square the mc in the eleventh. I know I'll get over this after saturn is out of aquarius, but I am starting to really dislike how slow saturn is. One thing it has done is push me to work on myself in the last two years (in many ways including spiritual practices, eating better, paying attention to vitamins and minerals, trying to pay attention to what kind of content I watch, or read (watching what I invite into my sphere if influence)... But it feels as if I have been up against a giant wave crashing over my life for two years straight! Like an almost impassable wall that I have been struggling to fix. I just want to know that because they are in mutual reception that maybe I will come out on the other side ok and not go insane from this amount of existential intensity. Criss I hope you see this and can give me a little insight on this. I feel like this has been the hardest time in my life, even way more extreme and painful than my saturn return at 27/28. I just want this to get over with already! It has given me a ton of things in my life that I wouldn't have access to if it wasn't for this transit, but I just want to be ok. I am tired of fighting this! At least I get it in a way now! Saturn is causing restriction to the bravery that I need through such a hard time. Like waves of striving as hard as I can to fix everything while at the same time feeling hopeless to change it.
I'm a relative beginner, but with a nocturnal chart, Sun conjunct Mars in the 4th house in Aries, Moon in the 11th in Scorpio, and Capricorn rising, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mars is my Master of Nativity. For better or worse. Usually, the latter.
My signs are
♓♑♊♒♑♌
I'm listening to this while trying to put my son to sleep who is restless af. His signs are
♐♒♊♐♐♈
He has sagg. As 3 of his personal planets and an Aquarius moon like you Chris. He really does love his freedom and he is only 9 months. I can already see how brilliant he is. I call him my lucky number 9 baby.
I waited all my life to be able to read his chart. 🥰🥰
Namaste 🙏🏼
My Gemini Mars for me very much interconnects me 9th and 10th houses since it's in the late 20 degrees (forgot exact). I am a copywriter while i'm completing my masters in propaganda studies, specifically nationalism like 200+ miles from where I was born which in this country is a LONG way away.
While for many mars is seen as bad in a way, and while I am Venus dominant in my chart, Mars is very special for me as for how I am directing myself in life.
I also very is very easy to work under pressure, as well as handle stressful situations despite the fact that I hate it. I despite things just dragging as well.
Sylvi is such a pisces! Before Chris showed her chart I was convinced she had the sun or MC in pisces.. And she has both!! Lol. ♓
Venus retrograde conjunct Mars in Scorpio third house co-present with Uranus and Mercury natal. I won’t even begin to catalog the shock and awe this transit represents in my life- It would make an interesting book and maybe a series 😆 (major drama!!!) Since I have Saturn on my ascendant in Virgo, these stories will probably never see the light of day.
I also tend to exert a lot of energy striving to reconcile opposites and building or maintain bridges. I’m pretty good at keeping volatile situations and people at peace (including myself) and there are no shortage of situations in my life that need this type of vigilance. I have worked in difficult situations doing social work and also briefly driving ambulance. Now I manage a health food store, but feel more like a therapist and physician as I am a magnet for people who seek physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Man, I could go on forever with the literal examples of how it has manifested in both positive and negative ways.
Sylvi they're so attractive and funny 🥺 Tuning in! 🙏
this was very insightful. aries sun (with mars, in 4th house) - scorpio moon and midheaven - capricorn ascendant, nighttime chart. so it seems like my mars is being used pretty well overall. mars is transiting my 9th house right now and i had a minor eye injury yesterday while trying to hammer something with tacks during a storm in the dark, lol. the comments you made during the 4th house discussion relating to wanting to keep arguments and etc private really resonated with me. i definitely find myself speaking in hushed tones and trying to "act natural" when i'm out in public having a heated situation with someone.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful
Colossians 3:15..
We sense that Mars has a definitive landing signature in the center of its mandala as a point of departure.
As someone with Mars in sag in the 5th I’ve always been good at sports but I especially enjoy kickboxing which I thought was an interesting correlation to sag representing the legs on the body. I also cackled at the comment made about the mma fighter who didn’t really care about winning, but just wanted to chill at home and smoke weed because it’s so relatable with my Mars conjunct Venus.
Taurus Rising with Mars. I'm not accident prone, but many health issues (6th house Chiron, Neptune & Jupiter)
