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.
In the third house — of brothers, of neighbours, of short journeys, and of errands — Mars occupies a cadent house, where his force acts only in part, removed from the full vigour of the angles. A domain that touches him closely, for brothers are a signification of his; here his heat enters the neighbourhood and the bonds of close blood. It inclines to strife with brothers and kin, to the quarrel from door to door, to the journey made in haste and friction. It gives a sharp and biting wit, a word that wounds and instructs, a will to move and not to stay still. It tends to litigation with those near, to the short road full of mishaps, to the message that kindles discord. The force here becomes a small restlessness, a fire of dry powder strewn along the neighbouring road. Whether this ardour makes brothers or divides them is decided by the sign of Mars.
