ALMUTEMMars in Scorpio
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Scorpio, it expresses itself with intensity and depth, all or nothing.
Mars also rules Scorpio — a fixed water sign — and is here at home, in its domicile: it gives courage to look at one’s own shadow and to go to the bottom of one’s desires, with a strength born of challenges and of survival. The key of the position is to recognise the price to be paid for what one wants before committing. In relationships it fights with strategy and resilience, and keeps its intentions secret until the right moment. It lives cycles of ending and beginning again, working with death and decay as manure to bring forth something new — just as autumn fertilises the earth. It is the Mars of the strategist and the survivor, lord of a deep and contained strength, the more fearsome for being silent.
