Mars
Mars affects the birth chart in a very different way from the other planets. Unlike Mercury and the Moon, Mars is exclusively about action.
The placement of Mars in one’s birth chart suggests how one takes action. Are you someone who sits on the sidelines for a long time and contemplates next steps or are you a bull running headstrong into your next adventure without a single planned step.
Mars is also the planet of conflict and warfare. The placement of Mars in a person’s chart is indicative of what kind of fighter a person is when things get complicated. Does someone go to war, stab someone in the back, or unleash a fury of words to settle the score. Are they ambitious, competitive or meek and gentle.
Mars placement also suggests how a person embodies masculine energy, regardless of their gender. A strong Mars placement will make a person dominant, self-assured, confident and bold. And often that carries over into their physical form in a muscular, athletic body. A weak Mars placement may have a difficult time asserting their needs or setting boundaries and may have a slender, androgynous body.
The Personality Planets
Why book a reading?
We know ourselves. Even by the time we are 7 years old, we are aware of our personality. By 15, we know our skill sets. By 25, we understand our communication style. But few people have the language to describe how our personality and our communication styles work together or perhaps how they wage a constant war in our life.
Sometimes the way we learn, is at odds with our love language. Sometimes our love language is at war with our rational mind. Astrology acknowledges the many similar or diverse pieces of ourselves and how they work to put together our adult persona.
As a healer, I am most intrigued by how people exhaust themselves by not fully understanding their own internal dynamics. How people fight against their own personal karmic directions to pursue lives that are at odds with their chart.
A reading offers validation about what is intrinsically yours in this life, and what may be a cloak you have chosen from someone else’s life.
