Mars in 00° Aries

 

Mars in Aries (General) 

When Mars is in Aries people are more aggressive, forceful, independent, self-reliant, assertive, courageous, and combative. In terms of essential dignity, Mars "rules" Aries and so this is a strong position for the red planet. Mars in this position is generally said to give people more energy and drive to do the things that they want to do and are excited about. There is danger here in starting things that you don't finish because you have taken on too much responsibility. People can be more impulsive in general and eager to confront others about long festering issues or anything that might set them off. In general, people are more competitive and need a physical outlet for their energy. 

The house where Aries falls in your birth, or Natal, chart is the area of life where you will see an increase in energy, competitiveness, and confrontation. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aries is your 1st  House  
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aries is your 12th House 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aries is your 11th House
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aries is your 10th House 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aries is your 9th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aries is your 8th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aries is your 7th House 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aries is your 6th House 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aries is your 5th House
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aries is your 4th House 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aries is your 3rd House 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aries is your 2nd House

  

Example

Mars in Aries and the 6th House 

Here the urge to be competitive and confrontational is strong and aggressive and this plays out in the area of both health and work.  With Mars in Aries and the 6th house you have more energy for work which is good because you are busier than usual and have to cope with many details. For you, things have to be done in a logical, systematic matter which may frustrate other because they may feel that you are not moving as fast as they like. Relationships with co-workers (especially bosses or supervisors) can be more tense now. The good news is also have more energy to direct towards getting healthier. This is a good time to start an exercise routine to work off some of that excess energy (and weight). 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. Let us suppose that you have Natal Neptune at 4° Sagittarius. That would mean that Transit Mars at 0° Aries is approaching a trine to Neptune.  When  Mars is Trine Neptune your intuition and empathy are given a boost. You're more creative and want to experiment with different ways to express your creativity. You are more gently and compassionate with yourself and others.
