With the easier aspects, there might not be enough tension to get you moving.
It depends on how you are as a person. My Mars is in Taurus and it sextiles Saturn but squares Pluto and trines the Sun. It's well placed in the 6th but it takes me ages to get going in any project. I've just got off the cross trainer and for the first 4km I struggle and want to get off, but after another 4km I could stay on there all day. I'm exactly the same with work, takes ages to get into it but then I'll pull a 16 hour day.
Mars in your natal will show you your temperament and the aspects to it will say whether you need a bit of pressure to motivate yourself. Transits to your natal Mars will help but don't discount the harsh squares and oppositions. They can make you more determined to succeed.
The fiery Mars can be the best at starting something but struggle to keep going unless there's something else in the chart that suggests endurance [like aspects to Saturn or Pluto].
new moon, that's a good one.. i'll keep that in mind from now on.
yes i meant exercise for the most part.
my mars is in scorpio retrograde. it's in house 1 and it opposes my sun and loosely conjuncts saturn.
