In this post, I would like to analyse the effects of Mars when it enters the sign of Scorpio. The post will explain the symbolic synergies between the planet and the sign and describe how Mars in Scorpio affects the native.
Mars in Scorpio is symbolically represented as the knight boldly venturing deep into the dragon’s cave. Mars operates exceptionally well within the confines of its own sign Scorpio. First of all, the self-reliant nature of Mars is in harmony with the non-conformist quality of Scorpio, which makes you an independent and maverick individual with unique and original ideas about life. The famous and eccentric musician Frank Zappa, who had his Mars in Scorpio, can be seen as a fitting illustration of this blend. Additionally, the ascetic and disciplined features of Mars find natural expression in the introverted sign of Scorpio. This indicates that you feel more or less comfortable with solitude and you have a high capacity for succeeding in all types of self-improvement endeavours. You willingly sacrifice time spent among other people for the sake of forming healthy habits and continually working on becoming a better person. The dutiful attribute of Mars resonates well with the fixed modality of Scorpio. Just like the noble knight who vows to protect his king and who does not deviate an inch away from his resolution, you tend to take your responsibilities and promises seriously.
Once you are committed to doing something, you do not stray from your chosen course of action. You are assertive and capable of saying “no” when necessary. When people try to step on your boundaries, you do whatever it takes that they are not crossed. At the same time, you do not pick unnecessary fights and you are not overly violent, arrogant, or brutal. Gwendoline Christie, an actress who portrays Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, has her natal Mars in Scorpio. In the show, the character’s chivalric code of loyalty, bravery, and good manners is demonstrative of this planetary placement. Furthermore, since you are different from the crowd, especially on the level of opinions and emotions, you have a good capacity for being a trendsetter, someone who changes other people’s views, inclinations, and tendencies. This trait is perfectly exemplified by Taylor Swift, a very influential singer and song-writer who has her natal Mars in Scorpio. The fire element of Mars becomes enhanced by the seemingly opposite water element associated with Scorpio. Your emotions run deep and they give further fuel to your actions. This shows that you are passionate, driven, energetic, and ambitious.
