In this post, I would like to analyse the effects of Mars when it enters the sign of Aries. The post will explain the symbolic synergies between the planet and the sign and describe how the Mars in Aries affects the native.
Mars in Aries is symbolically represented as the soldier in a warband moving through the rocky wilderness. When Mars comes into Aries, there is a fundamental harmony between these two energies because the warrior feels very comfortable on a military campaign in a wild and inhospitable environment. The ambitious nature of Mars resonates well with the inceptive, passionate, and moveable qualities of Aries. This indicates that you are an adventurous and goal-driven individual who quickly makes decisions and is not afraid to take risks. Enthusiasm and passion are at the very core of your innate nature. You are also able to adjust your strategy and direction when necessary. Moreover, both Mars and Aries are associated with independence and individuality. The disciplined, focused, and ascetic attributes of Mars resonate well with the lonesome nature of Aries.
The soldier is thrilled to campaign far from his home in a dangerous rocky wilderness, in which unexpected ambushes can come from any direction in any moment. He displays the Roman virtue of firmitas, which is connected to the traits such as tenacity, firmness, and perseverance. During his campaign in Gaul, Julius Caesar was known for his extremely rapid advances done to manoeuvre around enemy formations. Despite hunger, cold, and fatigue, Caesar’s legionaries determinedly march through Gaul. Had it not been for the virtue of firmitas exemplified by his soldiers, the conquest and subjugation of Gaul would not have been possible. The interpretation of this harmonious synergy is that you are a self-reliant and autonomous person. You do not mind being alone and you have a high capacity for discipline, sacrifice, concentration, and self-restraint. This can be useful in all types of endeavours, from self-employment and business, through exercise and athletic goals, to spiritual practices. Leadership qualities are inherent to your character and you value freedom over everything else. Finally, both Mars and Aries are connected to the masculine gender, extroverted quality, and fire element. This is a truly powerful harmonic synergy, which points out to the fact that you are a brave, courageous, strong, honest, and direct person.
