Mars in House 3

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. House 3 is the house of the everyday and the close at hand: brothers and sisters, neighbours, short journeys and practical learning. It's the stuff of daily life — the conversations and the first lessons in things.

The third house rules siblings and near kin, neighbours, short journeys, and practical learning. Mars expresses itself here weakened (cadent), but kindles this domain with its warlike nature. It inclines toward conflictual or competitive relations with siblings and neighbours — at times with rupture or loss — and toward a quick, sharp, penetrating spirit, of cutting tongue and ready for dispute. It gives courage and resourcefulness in daily affairs, but short journeys risk accidents or setbacks through haste. Strong in its sign, it gives a fearless, argumentative mind and siblings who defend; impeded, it kindles quarrels among those near, words that wound, and short journeys strewn with mishaps.
