Mars Sign
Mars in Aquarius
You pursue what you want in your own way and for a cause, an independent, unconventional, idea-driven drive.
How a Aquarius Mars goes after what it wants
With Mars in Aquarius, your drive is original, independent, and often fueled by ideals. You pursue what you want on your own terms and resist doing things the expected way, and you are most energised by a cause, an innovation, or a vision of how things could be better. You fight for the collective and the principle as much as for yourself.
You are inventive and determined in an unconventional, sometimes contrarian way, and you can be remarkably stubborn about your independence. The shadow is erratic energy, detachment, or rebelling just to rebel. Your growth is consistent application and channelling the idealism into sustained, grounded action.
Anger and conflict
Your anger is cool, detached, and principled. Rather than heat, you go logical and a little distant, and you are roused most by injustice or having your freedom curtailed. You can also be stubbornly, immovably contrary. The work is staying engaged and present in conflict rather than retreating into cold detachment.
Passion and desire
Your passion is unconventional and freedom-loving. You are drawn to the unusual, the independent, and a partner who is also a friend and an equal, and your desire needs space and resists possessiveness.
In desire you are loyal but a little detached. The growth is emotional presence and warmth alongside the independence.
