Mars, the god of war

Venus’s other half might be considered Mars. Where she is creative, he is destructive. They are two halves of the same coin. As an artist, I spend more time cleaning and sanding than assembling and painting. Creation and destruction are a pair of opposites that must work together in harmony in order to create. Mars in astrology is about being assertive, first and powerful. One should learn to harness his fiery energy. We can smith and create with fire or we can use it for nefarious purposes.

The red arrow above shows my Mars placement. It’s sitting right on top of the ascendant. That means Mars is important in how I come across.

The red lines coming from Mars show difficult aspects between that planet and the planets Jupiter and Uranus. Mars appears to be in a pizza slice sized shape with a 12 written in it. That means Mars is in the 12th house. What does that mean?

An article about Mars in the 12th house is here.

Note: The spirit realm is neither good nor bad. It is how you access it according to your intentions and alliances. It is my intention always to obey the Most High Creator unconditionally. If I am not doing so, it is my intention to be corrected immediately so I can rectify that. The only thing I’m really afraid of is not obeying God in accordance with the Most High’s Will. That will not change.

I am doing this astrology exploration because I am being strongly guided to do it. The message I am conveying is that though astrology is being used by the demonic, astrology is merely being twisted. Astrology is like water or fire - it can be used for good or ill. If astrology really is useful, I want to use it for good.

As a child, not only did I feel unloved by my parents but I lived in fear of being killed by my mother who vented her torrents of rage and violence at me. No one will ever hear me question whether a demon can inhabit a human. I always knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that a demon can and will inhabit a human. I have no idea who I would have become with loving and supportive parents. That’s just my reality.

I also have the Moon in the 12th house which represents a bad relationship with the mother lurking in the past and subconscious. Not only that but my Mars in its natural “home” Aries in the 12th house (the subconscious, isolation) is intercepted.

What does that mean? I plan to explore intercepted houses later but for now I’ll say that in addition to hard aspects with Uranus and Jupiter, my Mars in Aries is locked away so I couldn’t access its power. My Mars is even retrograde which further inverts it. This supposedly has left me frustrated and plagued with one abusive relationship after another. Mars is also a ruler of my sun sign Scorpio. I’m someone with a powerfully placed but highly afflicted Mars. If I can harness that energy constructively, I could turn it around. Will I?
