Sun and Mars aspects

When a door is stuck, some people look for another door. You lean on it.

The Sun is your will and sense of self; Mars is your drive, your temper and the way you go after things. An aspect between them puts force behind your identity, and how they meet decides whether that force flows or grinds.

Sun conjunct Mars

You are your drive. You act fast, compete hard and feel most like yourself when you are winning something. Your nerve is obvious, and so is your temper. A conjunction this direct gives you stamina for a long fight and very little patience for a slow one.

Sun trine or sextile Mars

Effort comes naturally. Confidence and action back each other up: you decide and then you do, without a long fight with yourself first. People see you as capable and brave without being aggressive. A trine makes it easy; a sextile pays back every push you give it.

Sun square or opposite Mars

Your will and your drive keep colliding. You push too hard, start a fight to feel alive, or turn your anger on yourself when it has nowhere else to go. With a square the friction is inside you; with an opposition it shows up in rivals and partners who push back. Put into sport, hard work or a cause, that heat becomes your best fuel.
