Mars

In good aspect, greatly increases the activity, energy and vitality. If there is bad health indicated elsewhere, this will go far to counteract it and to preserve health and life. The native is capable of hard work, and works quickly.

In good aspect, this combination sharpens the wits makes the mind quick, bright, alert and lively, and gives humour, wit sarcasm and satire. It throws a great deal of energy, force and activity into all matters signified by the third and sixth houses. It gives some manual dexterity in the direction of drawing, designing, carving, sculpture, and all that is necessary for music, conjuring, etc.,

In good aspect this is fortunate for money, whether earned by the native's own exertion, gained by partnership, by association with someone, by marriage, or by legacy. It favours money by any occupation of the four signs or houses ruled, especially the first and eighth; occupations involving personal energy, personal responsibility, personal initiative;

In any aspect, this increases the anima, passions and vigour of the body. In good aspect, the native has much `fire,' great energy and vigour, and achieves much; he pushes his way with intensity of purpose, and having also much perseverance he is seldom thwarted.

Mars in the twelfth house denotes strange and unfortunate adventures, in which grave dangers to the native are to be apprehended if he is shown to act more from impulse than reason ; to decide this the position and aspects of Mercury must be studied. The native is liable to false imprisonment, treachery through misplaced affection, and injuries from enemies. In some cases this position denotes poverty, or a difficulty to make headway, especially if Mars is placed in Libra or Pisces.

Mars in the sixth house denotes a liability to suffer In health through carelessness or indiscreet action ; there is a tendency to inflammatory complaints when Mars is afflicted by Sun and Jupiter, and danger of suicide or some fatal accident when afflicted by Uranus, this latter being a very evil influence. This position denotes much energy in all work, and the native is generally an enthusiast where work is concerned.

Mars in the third house denotes a turbulent and forceful mind, the native being usually over-energetic and impulsive mentally, possessing a keen, alert and sharp lower mind, but apt to lack control and balance. The only aspects that moderate and temper the influence of Mars in this house are those of a favourable nature from Saturn or Mercury, and under some conditions those coming from Uranus, when great mental energy and keen inventive genius are denoted.

Mars in the tenth house denotes an ambitious and masterful spirit. It is favourable for success in business or profession, since the energy of the native is able to carry him through the turbulent and stormy periods he will experience in the business world. The native does not prosper when in business for himself, unless in an occupation of the nature of Mars, and this planet well aspected. The animal and passional side of the nature is likely to override the intellectual, and impulse or feeling to be much more prominent than reason.

Mars in the fourth is a very unfavourable and unfortunate position. causing the close of life to be perilous and fraught with many trials and troubles. It denotes quarrels with parents, and many disputes in the home life, domestic affairs going wrong and causing much unpleasantness and many misunderstandings, with probable strife, and if Mars is afflicted by either Saturn or Uranus, danger of violence and a sudden terminus. If Mars is well aspected in this house it will show energy and force, and much enterprise, but a liability of error through impulse is also shown.

Mars denotes gain through strength and force ; engineering; mechanics ; cattle-dealing ; breeding ; stock farming; timber, coal, slate, iron ; steel ; drugs ; chemicals ; mining ; sanitation ; hygiene ; surgery ; soldiers, and, to some extent, sailors ; if well aspected it somewhat favours money by legacy or marriage. If favourably placed it may enable the native to earn money easily, but it will also incline him to spend freely. Mars in affliction with Jupiter denotes loss through extravagance, over-liberality, waste, and often prodigality.
