Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is often referred as “the red Planet” due to the pink tinge of its rock mass. Once it was believed that Mars was home for living beings, or Martians but since space exploration it has been proved that there is no life on Mars. What led the astrologers and astronomers of years ago to believe this was the presence of straight lines crossing the planets surface that were visible through telescopes. They believed that these were irrigation canals created by intelligent beings. We now know that its atmosphere is not conducive for habitation. The warmest it gets is 68◦F and temperatures can drop as low as -220◦F. In astrological terms Mars has earned a reputation of a “warrior” like planet because in a birth chart it represents physical strength and aggression. It transfers its energies to our sex drive, our ego and how we react to challenges. If Mars is in its natural ruling planet of Aries its energy is aggressive. In a woman’s chart whatever sign her Mars is in represents the type of man she is attracted to. In a mans chart it represents his sex drive and his energy. It is a masculine planet that was traditionally personified as a handsome fearless suitor that courted the goddess of love Venus, the personification of the feminine planet representing beauty and romance. It changes signs roughly every 6 weeks.
