your approach to sex, how you take action, your energy expressions
ARIES--You have both an active mind and an active lifestyle. You are very enthusiastic about life and want to live every moment to the fullest. With Mars in its home sign, Aries, you often act without thinking through all of the consequences and can therefore be rash and impulsive. This can even result in injuries (especially to the head).
With Mars in Aries, you are not known for your patience. You are also lacking in self-control and may feel at times that you couldn't help yourself. Try to develop more sympathy and understanding for others in your life. This will result in fewer power struggles and altercations.
You have a direct approach to romance and lovemaking, and you need a partner who does not require a great deal of courting and who will not mind that you are most often the initiator in your relationship. You are eager to get to the physical part of lovemaking and should be careful not to leave your partner behind emotionally once you get involved. The lessons you need to learn are self-restraint and patience.
Be careful not to act rashly and impulsively in making commitments in love relationships. Also, be sure to get all sides of the story and think things over carefully before acting in anger. Otherwise, you may regret it when you calm down.
TAURUS--You are very persistent and patient when striving toward your goals. This is largely because you are too stubborn to give up. You also have powerful creative abilities and perhaps have developed a craft.
Money and other material possessions are important to you, and you prefer to surround yourself with the best quality you can find. One of the lessons of this placement is to realize that intangible things also have great value. Another lesson is to learn to share the great bounty that you acquire for yourself.
You enjoy a great deal of sensual contact with your partner and need someone who is likewise predisposed to being "touchy- feely." You need secure and stable relationships but need to avoid getting stuck in a rut. At times you can be very stubborn and even may become jealous and possessive. You show your love through affection and by lavishing your partner with gifts, especially those you make with your own hands.
In sexual encounters you are slow to become aroused but then can exercise a great deal of endurance in lovemaking. You seek a long-term relationship which will provide you with a constant source of love and sexual stimulation. Ups and downs in relationships can be upsetting to you.
GEMINI--You have a very sharp mind, and others see you as very witty, perhaps sarcastic. Since you are usually trying to do several things at once, you generate a great deal of nervous energy. With your restless nature, you start many projects but actually complete only a few. Your expectations of yourself are often over-exaggerated, and as a result you tend to make many promises and then are unable to keep all of them.
This placement of Mars also indicates a natural talent for writing or expressing yourself verbally. In order for you to succeed, you must learn concentration and self-discipline. Try to get a handle on your abundance of nervous energy by planning time off to do what you enjoy. Failure to do so may result in physical illness or injury.
With Mars in Gemini you need constant excitement and stimulation in order to maintain your interest in a love affair. You are attracted to partners who have mastered the art of intellectual lovemaking. Your partner's mind must turn you on; mere physical attraction is not enough.
You are highly inventive and experimental in sex and have a very delicate, sensual touch. It would not be hard for you to have two or more lovers at the same time. This would ensure that you would be constantly stimulated and never become bored. Otherwise, your marriage partner will have to be able to adjust to your constant need for variety.
CANCER--You are very intuitive and highly sympathetic toward the needs of others. You can become very emotional when you are feeling insecure. Yet most of the time your calm exterior adequately masks the extent of your emotions. You are very intuitive and are probably interested in occult and metaphysical matters.
Although you are ambitious and hard-working, your greatest comfort comes from having a comfortable and peaceful home. Because you are so sensitive, you can become quite moody and defensive with others. All this emotion can create too much acid in your stomach and result in digestive problems. Make it a point not to eat when you are overly tired or upset.
You are a caring and protective lover and are very responsive to the emotional and physical needs of your partner. You are affectionate and sentimental, and feel most comfortable with your lover in familiar, safe surroundings. Although you only seek to nurture your lover, be careful that you do not come on as being overprotective or smothering.
The rhythm of your sexuality is somewhat unpredictable; your desire may build up for a long time before you act upon it, and then your intensity is surprising. Do your lover a favor and let them know when you are getting amorous. Then you can both be prepared and relax into joyful, loving play.
LEO--With Mars in Leo, you are highly creative and artistically talented. You also have the enthusiasm, dedication and ambition required to put these gifts to good use. And, unlike some other Mars placements, you will not be modest or shy about it.
You are impulsive and passionate about most everything in life, no matter what age you may be. The only danger of this Mars placement is that pride may make you stubborn and quarrelsome. Don't let your pride get you into difficult situations. Know when to say you're not physically up to an impossible challenge. Otherwise, you could strain your body, and specifically your heart.
You are a warm, loyal and open lover and are extremely generous with your partner. You don't have much patience for elaborate courting rituals, but you are a very attentive lover once the ice has been broken.

Mars in Leo gives you the gift of being able to make any love affair or romantic situation a magical one. You treat your lover like royalty, and you are very pleased if they return the favor.

You would not be happy, for instance, with someone who was obnoxious or otherwise embarrassed you in public.
VIRGO--Your ability to assert yourself is often frustrated by your own incessant worrying and scrupulous attention to detail. While it is good to be organized and to have a plan of operation, you also need to learn to be a little more spontaneous and carefree.
In your career you are an energetic worker. Although you are ambitious, you find it hard to handle positions of high responsibility.

Although you are somewhat slow to arouse sexually, you go out of your way to please your lover, employing superior technique, sensitivity and attention to detail.
Personal cleanliness is important to you, and you probably enjoy taking showers with your lovers. You can be somewhat picky and critical of your partner, although it is sincerely done with the intention of helping them. Sexual tools can be fun for you if you will allow yourself to be so bold and spontaneous.
LIBRA--With Mars in Libra, you prefer peaceful social exchange rather than hot-tempered disputes. Yet, you also seek constant balance by arguing both sides of any situation. In an effort to survive in a world that is often less than peaceful, you must develop the art of negotiation and compromise. You are a natural at working in harmony with a team toward a common goal.
Since you are quite charming, you can often persuade others to see your side without having to resort to argument. You are highly intuitive and seem to know just how to "hook" people with your charm. Although you really don't want to manipulate or control anyone, all is fair in love and war.
You seek a certain amount of refinement and social grace in your partner. Appearances are important to you, and you are concerned about what others think of you.

You often instigate change in your relationships and become bored quickly with any that become static.

It is important to you that any relationship you have maintain a quality of fairness.
SCORPIO--With Mars in Scorpio, you are very perceptive and have the ability to see through people's false fronts. You have a magnetic personality, and although you are quite controlled, others can sense your highly developed sexual nature through your calm exterior. Anyone who becomes close to you must be prepared to handle your intense emotions.
You are very loyal and devoted to those you love, and you require the same devotion from them. With Mars in Scorpio, you want what you want now, not later, and you will stubbornly pursue your goals until you reach them, no matter how impossible they might seem to others. Once you learn to develop more self-discipline and focus your energy better, you will have greater success. Until then, you will be controlled by your desires instead of the other way around.
You are a very ardent and intense lover, and it is important to you that you express this on a physical level.

Honesty is of the utmost importance to you in your relationships, and you will always keep your commitment to a lover once you have given your word.
In sex you are a master at manipulation and seduction, and you usually get your way once you set your mind to it. You easily pick up vibes from your partner that tell you where you stand with him or her. You are easily aroused and need a partner who can appreciate your intense lovemaking. No matter what your sex, you are usually in control in your relationships.
SAGITTARIUS--You have a daring and enthusiastic attitude about life. For this reason you find traveling to foreign lands to be very mind-expanding. Philosophically, you understand that humans are all the same no matter what their race or culture. Traveling helps you to fully experience this.
With Mars in Sagittarius, you are an independent thinker and enjoy a good philosophical "discussion." You can become very excited when telling a good story and must be careful that you do not exaggerate too much when relating your adventures. It would be good to work some of this mental energy out through physical outlets. Also, remember that most people are not used to your brutal honesty and would prefer that you use tact when speaking your mind.
You are intensely curious, love adventure, and can have a short attention span in matters of love. You enjoy the chase more than the actual culmination of a love affair. Because you tend to jump into any affair with vigor, you may need to develop more patience for engaging in prolonged foreplay and building up the anticipation before rushing into sex.
Since you are very enthusiastic about sex, you need a partner who is similarly inclined. You have a talent for cheering up your lover when he or she is down, and you set a good example with your optimism and zest for life. It is important that your partner have a philosophical outlook on life and hold strong principles. This will attract you more than anything else.
CAPRICORN--You are highly ambitious and respect others with positions of authority. It is important to you that others see you as responsible and self-reliant.

Your friends and loved ones respect your loyalty to your friends and your "live and let live" attitude in competition. You have earned the trust and respect of your many varied friends.
You are somewhat unconventional in love (and proud of it) and often fly in the face of tradition. It is not easy for you to establish lasting intimate relationships, but once you have made a commitment you are very loyal and devoted. You must be able to respect your lover and consider him or her one of your best friends.
Your love partners are likely to be "different" from society's norm. You are highly eclectic yourself and are fascinated by people who are extremely unique or unusual. It is important to you that your mate relate to you truthfully and allow you to have your personal freedom. In relationships you have a "live-and-let-live" attitude and could not tolerate a jealous or possessive lover.
PISCES--You are highly intuitive and, if you practice, will learn to trust your feelings more as you mature. Although you appear quiet and reserved on the outside, your feelings are actually quite active within. One traditional danger with this Mars placement is problems with drugs and/or alcohol.
Others enjoy your warm sense of humor, and you probably have a talent for a musical instrument. You use your dreaminess to be creative, although to others you may seem lazy. Usually people with this Mars placement are not very strong physically.
Although to others you may appear weak and indecisive, you are actually very compassionate and sensitive. You find it very satisfying to deny your own ego in order to gratify the one you love. In this way you learn the secret of strength through self-sacrifice. Just be sure your partner deserves such unselfish devotion. Don't be deceived by others because you are so anxious to see your ideal in them.
You are a very tender and sensitive lover. Your innate intuition and psychic abilities lead you to seek a higher meaning to sex--some spiritual connection beyond the mere physical act. Be careful to remain strong within yourself. Resist the temptation to become dependent on your partner.
