"Madness"

Mars energy loves to Bite, Kick, Scratch and go to Battle

Gives Courage, Strength, Health and Vitality

Thrives on Anger, Hostility and Bluntness

Loves to Attack....Win....Dominate.

Mars symbolizes war and madness, and if this strong energy is used incorrectly, it can drive a person to commit violent crimes and injustices. Without the proper checks and balances, this energy is destructive, but a measure of it is necessary for proper character development. Mars rules a person's sense of self preswevation, his ability to maintain his individuality in the face of outside pressures to conform. Under its influence, a person can do something other than what he normally does.

Martian energy is primarily identified with the physical body. Strenuous activity, whether work or play, is a good way to dissipate it. Bottling it up tends to build anger, resentment and other negative feelings which may later cause evil actions.

Mars is always ready for battle and goes gladly into combat. He will not tolerate weakness or hesitation, cowardice or treason. He accepts only victory and simply runs over anyone who gets in his way. He believes that courage, strength, skill and animal instincts will see him through. He welcomes danger, even pain, as they challenge him to be his best. Although he does not wish for death, he forces issues and relentlessly stalks his prey. Mars never retreats. This kind of energy will be of use to you if you have any kind of battle to fight. You won't be so much of a pushover during a Mars cycle. You may be overly aggressive, but at the least you won't let anyone run over you. It is best to fight for a constructive purpose.

During the hard angles of Mars, you tend towards anger and/or others tend to get angry with you. Such energies may be useful in solving problems or they may create them, depending on the situation. The easy angles are more flowing and positive and do not cause opposition in others. They can help you to be a little more assertive in your dealings with others, but cooperatively.
Some negative possibilities of the strong angles, especially when there are no beneficial cycles and only malefic ones are active: being apprehended by the law or getting a ticket, being assaulted by enemies or hoodlums, thieves breaking and entering your premises, getting a high fever from a virus or cold, accidents, stabs, cuts, injuries, being frightened, having arguments and quarrels, experiencing mental, emotional or physical violence or rape, rage, cruelty, struggling, being fired or dismissed. If these energies are around and you are not careful to resist corruption, you will certainly end up with wounds to lick and heal, after this cycle.

I remember some fights that are unforgettable under strong Mars cycles. Mars is great if you use it properly. I knew a couple; and he would play around on her quite often, and she didn't like it...at all! One day he came over and said to me "what was going on this morning?" I looked and found a Mars Opposition Uranus. This one can be violent, coming totally out of left field....unexpected. I told him about it and he quietly said that while he was sleeping she came over and punched him. I'll let you guess where.
