Mars in Aries
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Aries, it expresses itself with drive and courage, throwing yourself forward.
Mars rules Aries — cardinal fire — and stands here in his own domicile, master behind his own doors. Everything Mars is finds its native soil: the surge that breaks winter's crust, the first blow that cuts a track where there was no road. Here force asks no leave; it tears, it begins, it hurls itself forward without measuring the leap. It inclines to a raw courage, to the haste of one who acts before thinking, to a relish for strife for strife's own sake. It gives a firm hand at iron and fire, a gift for whatever calls for breaking through — to open, to cut, to gain ground. It tends to the sudden fury that burns high and is soon spent, to impatience with all that delays. Like the ram that lowers its brow and charges, it neither retreats nor reckons the wall. The danger is that of unbridled rule itself: a force that, knowing no obstacle, flings itself at the first and is wounded in the charge.
