Mars in Aries
Action outruns planning, and both competition and anger ignite with little delay. Before starting, write the first three steps; when an argument heats up, draft the reply without sending it immediately.
In detail
Mars in Aries is the lifelong natal placement created when Mars occupied Aries at birth, making action, competition, desire, and anger start quickly and move straight toward the target. Mars represents drive and conflict response, while Aries amplifies initiative, directness, and short bursts of force, so momentum is strongest at the outset and anger can flare intensely before passing. Mars in Sagittarius is also direct, but Sagittarius is mobilized by a goal, belief, or distant possibility; Mars in Aries responds to the immediate challenge, the contest, and the urge to act first.
