Like it or not, love is the main reason why astrological counseling is sought out. There is no such thing as a right or a wrong/bad love, there is only need and desire. I’ve covered a little about mars in general,
However, in love, mars represents your internal sexual energy and drive in an assertive, active sense, which go hand in hand with venus to fulfill physical,
emotional, and ultimately sexual desires. Mars is the planet that is very definition of war and anger, life
experiences that are based on raw masculine emotion. In its purest expression, mars represents impulse propelled into action, always going forward into new territory. It’s the fearless and unbridled animal instinct within us all that assures our survival on this planet. If mars is in retrograde, then
that just means that the way you express your anger and sexuality is blocked for a time and then released too strongly, or sexually you tire too easily/have no stamina. At any rate, the
individual will have a challenge
in expressing anger/sexuality “normally” (whatever normal means) and may be quite passive-aggressive or downright passive.
As far as the sexual aspect of a retrograde/hard aspect mars, if it’s a persistent issue based in emotional insecurity and/or ill health that can’t be overcome through self awareness, motivation, and active practice, then a licensed psychotherapist or a medical doctor, respectively, would be beneficial in finding a solution to said problem.
As it is with a harshly aspected mars (squares, oppositions), a natal retrograde usually poses more of a challenge for the individual rather than those around him/her. So, to wrap up this series, here are some insights on how mars comes into play in love and sex.
aries
mars in aries in the 1st house: You’re happiest with someone who has a similarly open style with whom
you don’t have to continually repress your natural drives. However, the lessons you must learn are those of restraint and staying power.
mars in aries in the 2nd house: You get more sustained pleasure out of love by banking your fires a bit, even letting your lover carry the load so you can relax.
A fur rug, a velvet coverlet, a bare wooden floor—all lend a new
excitement and tensions that transforms and elevates sex when boredom
threatens.
mars
in aries
in the 3rd house: You can pack a full relationship into a lightning-fast affair that would leave others unfulfilled. If there is any problem here, it may be that you concentrate too much on
variety and neglect to develop personal communication within a
relationship.
This can be a particular problem if your lover isn’t verbally expressive.
mars
in aries
in the 4th house: Although you may not be particularly forward in your social manner, when ti comes to physical affection, you’re usually the imitator and in some way, the aggressor.
You’ll be happiest with a lover who considers you a sort of parent figure, although to be just that would be unwise.
mars
in aries
in the 5th house:
Because you approach sex in a very open, almost playful way, it doesn’t
have the pitfalls it has for so many others in our rather repressed
culture.
In your eagerness in sex, try not get carried away and leave your lover emotionally behind. Try to come together.
mars
in aries
in the 6th house: Although sometimes aggressive in bed, you’re sincere and
enthusiastic in your sexual expression. In order to achieve the fullest sexual expression, you should become familiar with a variety of sexual styles and scenarios.
mars
in aries
in the 7th house: You’re happiest with a partner who lets you play the role of imitator most of the time and who won’t conflict or compete with you.
You may gravitate toward rather intense, strenuous relationships in
which both you and your partner emit and demand a great deal of energy.
mars
in aries
in the 8th house: Because you become physically intense within a rather short period, you can gain more satisfaction from a brief affair than most people. Fiercely sexual and volatile, your lover had better keep up with you, for your emotions and active passions are not for wimps.
mars
in aries
in the 9th house: You’re spontaneous and eager and you like to actively participate in lovemaking. You may find that much-played roles become less interesting after a
while, and then you both should decide upon a new direction before
launching into it.
mars
in aries
in the 10th house:
Despite your leadership abilities you’re not very good at compromise
when it comes to relationships, because you always want to do things
your own way.
While
other signs may be more aroused by courtship and romance, you’re aroused by the
sex act itself, plain and simple.
mars
in aries
in the 11th house: You’re more interested in fiery and very close friendships (often with benefits). Always leave yourself plenty of room to maneuver your passions and views when it comes to your short-lived relationships.
mars
in aries
in the 12th house:
Don’t let your impulsiveness lead you to make premature commitments or act rashly from either love or anger. If you’re careful, the rewards will be well worth the risks, and
the fulfillment you experience will be special and unique to you.
