And If they are both in the 10th house, what kind of spin does that put on things? (10th house is capricorn, right? So is this not to do with love life after all, or only to do with capricorn-type issues such as work?)

That's a GREAT question - not confusing to me, anyways. It sounds like you've got the gyst of it. And add the 10th House, and you've got perhaps shyness, work to share their feelings.

Right, so the 10th house, being ruled by Saturn, which is the bringer of obstacles into your life, means that the person has to work harder in his lovelife because this area of his life is not going to come easy to him right?

I have venus in virgo in 3rd house and Mars in Aquarius in 8th. I think they both make sense to me - i am quite shy and "virgo-like" when it comes to sex and its true I like things clean!! And the 3rd house would mean that I show my love by communicating and looking after everyday details right?

The Mars in Aquarius bit i can understand - I do avoid relationships and dont miss them when I'm single and Im not a clingy-type of woman when I'm in one - but the 8th house part I find hard to get. How does scorpio come into this? Scorpio is hugely into relationships and passion right? So how does my Mars in Aquarius figure into this? I dont get it!!

One way to keep it clear is to think of the Sign the Planet is in as the "personality" the Planet receives from the influence of the Sign. The AREA OF LIFE is determined by the House.

"Venus in 10th House -

Venus in the Tenth House affords the native a strong attraction to the artistic professions. The native may be connected, in one way or another, with some form of singing, dancing or acting. This is an excellent influence for financial success in the banking, accounting or insurance worlds. The societal and public position ensures the native considerable prestige. The native may exert some political influence if he can learn to blend his political views with his social life in which case he should attain high personal prestige.

Mars in 10th House -

Mars indicates that the native's profession may be associated with activities of an architectural or engineering nature. The native, of this position of Mars, often demonstrates the capacity to study medicine, surgery, dentistry, chemistry or photography. It increases the spirit of enterprise but indicates that the native should avoid taking unnecessary risks. He should also endeavor to control the impulsive side of his character as it can cause him many problems."

AND

Venus in 3rd House -

This is an excellent position for matters concerning the native's relatives and neighbors. The relationships here will most definitely be of a harmonious nature. There is an indication that the native has a strong capacity for studies related to art and literature, as well as professional writing, lecturing and oratory. The desire for travel is intensified and this position is normally good for short distance travel. There are congenial conditions in connection with travel and traveling companions. The kind of travel will correspond with the Sign in the Cusp."

"Mars in 8th House -

When Mars is in the Eighth House the liability to a violent and sudden death increases. Death can also occur through a very bad wound or as a result of an operation. Sometimes there is a bad fever which affects the head, the excretory or generative organs. As far as marriage and business partners are concerned, endless problems are indicated. The native will find that his partner may be overly extravagant and this may cause some severe financial losses.

Good questions. My Venus is in Scorpio (11th), and Mars in Sag (1st). While I more or less understand them seperatly, its hard for me to combine them. I don't know if they are in opposition or just don't make an aspect to each other?

You're right about semi-sextile, that's 30 degrees. 45 degrees is semi-square.

Christmas was...fine. Ate too much. Drank too much. Had two days off in a row and that was cool. Got a "Mr. Wonderful" doll. He says things like "Let's just cuddle tonight" and "can't your mother stay another week?"

I totally understand your reaction to that 8th House Mars. One thing you can do is consider now that you have the knowledge to be aware of such dangers in your life. Also, consider that this may give you an advantage in understanding all things 8th House, and with just the right ingredients, you can make the most of your knowledge.

It's normal to wish for less "hard" indications in your Chart. Every single one of us has an issue with difficult challenges in our own Charts. Feel free to discuss this as much as you want.

If I came off as a bit bi*c*y in that post, I do apologize. I know, all too well, that we all have our own challenging aspects. Without them, I believe, life would be boring and, somewhat, reasonless. The Mars in the 8th interps are somewhat disturbing to me because my Son is a Mars in the 8th person. Being his mother, I worry, you know...? He does have a good grasp of what death is about and, puts in his own ideas about it. He has a great love of the shark( we live in Colorado and, his first trip to the ocean came long after this affinity developed). From around the age of 6, his goal has been to be a crusader for the understanding and protection of these animals. He is only 8 now but, I see him being a ' Steve Erwin ', kind of individual, in the area of sharks. Anyway, I am out of time so, I just wanted to let you know that I was not, in any way, attacking you or, the interpretation you gave. I just wonder if there exists any other, more positive out looks for this Mars placement.
Thanks.

No no no... I didn't think you came across that way at all. Here is a place you can let out all kinds of thoughts and feelings, within reason. That's OK - don't feel bad about it. Keep on keeping on!

There are prospects of gain indicated through legacy or inheritance. There will be substantial dispute with the marriage or business partner concerning the handling of the money."

Mars is force, energy, aggression. Here it tends to be focused to the intellect, as, for example, in the horoscope of chess champion Bobby Fischer. He has Mars opposite Pluto, planet of extremes, making him a bit obsessive. He just HAS to win. Mars shows how we fight. In Aquarius, it will come at you from unexpected directions."
