Mars in Pisces

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Pisces, it expresses itself with imagination, compassion and a dreamy side.

In Pisces — a mutable water sign ruled by Jupiter —, Mars wanders peregrine, though it shares the water triplicity: the waters of the sign calm its fire, which gives passion and bravery to pursue the heart’s desires, though satisfaction may deceive and drag it into anxiety. In conflict it prefers cunning to direct force: it moves in circles, influences unseen, and launches its Trojan horses, striking when the other least expects. It is the smith more than the warrior, who fights with illusions and appearances — and so it needs care not to let itself be bewitched by its own visions. A subtle and indirect Mars, dangerous because one cannot see whence it strikes.
