Mars in Capricorn

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Capricorn, it expresses itself with method, ambition and the patience to build.

Mars is exalted in Capricorn — a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn —, received as an honoured guest, and acts with full control: it does not show its combative side at once, moves with patience and strategy, and strikes only at the right moment, when the adversary is at a disadvantage. It is the general who seems weak but keeps an immense force in the shadows; it seeks less the glory and more the victory and lasting power. Ambitious, austere, and incorruptible, it knows how to defer the feast until the aim is truly accomplished, and is rarely content: a mountain conquered, it already looks to the next. It is among the best positions of Mars — courage disciplined by patience, the force that knows how to wait in order to win.
