Ascendant Sextile Mars

Ascendant represents your body, your make-up and how you present yourself and begin things; Mars, your energy, your desire and the courage to act.

Mars sextile the Ascendant supports the native with energy and courage: it gives initiative, physical vigour, and the readiness to assert oneself without aggression. A strength that serves action when the native takes it up.

The sextile generally places Mars in the Third or the Eleventh House. In the Third, energy is spent in blunt speech, in travel and in relations with siblings, sometimes competitive ones; in the Eleventh, it joins friends and collective projects, where the person takes the lead. It is a useful, timely strength, less explosive than in the angular positions. In a night chart Mars is more moderate. It shows in the one who gets called when someone is needed to sort things out.
