Mars through the Places in a Natal Chart | and a bonus haiku
If you’re familiar with astrology, you’ll know that a natal chart has 12 places (or houses), and each place contains topics related to life in the material world.
Mars is excessively hot and dry. It represents things like hot, spicy flavors, tools, machinery, danger, risk, physical effort. It can point to soldiers, warriors, activists, chief commanders, bakers, management of riding animals, crafts of iron and fire. It is the general significator for breaking things like laws, rules, and customs, digging and boring, war, retaliation, provoking discord, theft, glory-seeking, courage, impulse, and recklessness. Remember, to see the best in Mars, he needs a goal, something to strive toward and direct his energy, otherwise the destructive nature grows and in ways that are less supportive and productive to life.
