Do intense aspects come more naturally to Mars because it’s generally a very active and aggressive planet?

Would these aspects make a woman more masculine and aggressive or the opposite – make her repressed and passive?

Would these aspects indicate a turbulent relationship between her and the opposite gender in general or again the opposite – a troublesome relationship with her own gender?

How would this affect her sexuality?

(Because in the example I will give Mars is in the 4th House) Is this potential for a violent spouse or an abusive household?

Here is an example of a woman who’s Mars receives only hard aspects:

Obviously have my assumptions looking at the chart but I may be wrong?
What type of men do you attract, I'm curious?
Are they incredibly aggressive?

When I think about it I don’t really attract anyone. No man ever tries to approach me. Usually I’m the one who does it. It’s something I noticed lately and find it very weird. Generally I’m very timid, cautious and reserved but when I see someone I like (which happens very rarely) I become incredibly courageous, forward and flirty. The men I’ve been involved with romantically were not aggressive or violent although I consider only one person a proper boyfriend. Only he was hot-headed and was prone to yelling when angered (he controlled himself around me though).

Astrologically all of my “boyfriends” have had Saturn square Pluto but they were born between 1993 and 1994 which means most of the people born in those years have it. I noticed that most of the men around me have strong Sagittarius influence (my 7th and 8th House cusp). A lot of the men who have had a major impact on me (in terms of attraction) have had Leo Mars.

The house ruled by Mars and the house that contain Mars would be under high developal tension.

Your Mars is apparently in your natal 4th house, where most of the tension will be unleashed and unloaded.

Ruler of the sixth house in the fourth

One spends excessive amounts of money on the residence and may overcapitalize, particularly if this sixth ruler is afflicted. The mother of the individual becomes his enemy and doesn’t support him even from the outset of life. As the fourth house also rules vehicles, it’s an unsavory position indicating troubles and breakdowns through mechanical devices such as cars. The connection to the sixth ruler with the fourth house damages ones contentment and this makes it difficult for the person to find any sweetness in life.

this comes froma vedic website, and vedic is quite dark and negative. Try searching for other info on 6th house ruler in natal houses

Generally I'm not a fan of co-rulership when it comes to Mars. To me that's Aries area only

I agree with that as well

Highly depends on my mood and how I feel about the guy in particular. There is a catch about flirting. I only like when I flirt. When the guy does it it’s intimidating to me on a personal power level. Only two guys ever have ever approached me first and both times it felt like I was losing the upper hand. I never see flirting as a power game when I do it (because when I do it I’m genuinely interested in learning more about the person, having fun and making them feel good) but when they do I immediately see it as a threat.
However most of the time I’m not flirty. I would even say I’m unapproachable and not just for men but for all people in general. But like I said it highly depends on my mood.
This definitely relates to the ASC and Saturn. I don’t see Mars getting involved here (other than the sudden confidence boost when I approach someone I’m interested in)

Let's say you wish guys would feel more at ease approaching you but you don't flirt with them, and are kinda standoffish and distant. That's how Mars's squares show up. From what I have seen, Mars has a lot to do with the confidence to flirt while Venus is more about flattering people and putting them at ease, not necessarily flirting, really. Flirting takes some spontaneity and this is Mars's territory.

Mars likes to initiate things. Venus is more receptive to the overtures of others. How you view flirting sounds more like Mars than Venus, Meyray.

And as such I suppose the questions don't apply to me after all.

Meyray,

Having malefics in harsh aspects to one another is bound to create trouble. I was sexually abused by my father (Aries Mars exactly opp Pluto and a bit wider, Saturn = the father).

I think in my case since I have oppositions to Saturn and Pluto I am more ambivalent than someone who has squares, for example. But oppositions allow me to project one planet and express the other and then switch. Like in the cases of my abuse and rape attempts, if they expressed Mars I expressed Pluto (psychological manipulation), if they expressed Pluto (stalkers for example), I was Mars (raging mad).

The energy is always present, all it wants is to be expressed, not blocked. If you block it, it tends to explode in unpredictable ways. So it's good to find little outlets for it that are socially acceptable. Though I flirted with bdsm, I am no longer active. But being a surgeon allows my sadistic tendency to express itself without actually hurting anybody but actually doing good.

This is me ^.

My dominant / aggressive side tends to come out once I feel close to someone - Mars conjunct DSC.

Otherwise I'm really easy-going.

There was one time when transiting Mars conjuncted my natal Saturn and squared my Mars and Pluto - I was sexually "taken advantage of".

posted July 19, 2013 05:41 AM            

I think it's because uranus transiting over my mars and I have natal mars square uranus..
I actually have dated a criminal before, don't ask.. I was naive...

To0 bad uranus is going to be over my mars for awhile *whines*..

Hope nothing bad happens to you.

Something which that afflicted Mars seems to attract (because I can't see it elsewhere in my chart) is extreme situations in terms of sex and relationships. I have been assaulted once and also raped. It seems to be that dodgy dominating/violent guys are magnetically drawn to me.

As for my sex drive, well these days it's through the roof it's that strong. It's actually annoying! Also the stuff I like is a bit weird and wild.
