Astrologically, Mars is a planet of action and energy. Always combative, and often aggressive, this planet teaches us much about our self-assertion, positivity and haste. Astrological Facts about Mars
Mars, like all planets, can express its energies for better or for worse, depending upon the aspects it receives, and its sign placing. Mars is our source of aggression and anger, but also our source of sexual passion and desire. It can make us rude, abrupt and impatient, but it can also inspire us to tremendous courage, bravery and leadership. When Mars is afflicted, or placed in a normally gentle sign such as Pisces, all this energy can become frustrated and pent-up, leading to possible psychological blockages or explosive tantrums.
