Does having one equal to having more testosterone?

For instance would a Mars in Aries have more testosterone than a Mars in Cancer?

For instance, a Mars in Aries is more likely to be more expressive of masculinity than a Cancer Mars. I know this is a generalization, but from my experience, many Cancer Mars males I've encountered lacked in Masculinity in comparison to those who had a stronger mars. Then again, there's Michael Phelps, so (who by the way has his Mars on his Ascendant).

I have a feminine Mars personally (Mars in Scorpio), and it is technically in my 12th house. However, it has an exact conjunction to my ascendant and therefore I feel it should belong in the first as a result. Despite having many female friends, I often feel a need to express this raw, masculine energy and despite being homosexual, am quite difficult to pin down as one. I express a lot more masculine energy for a feminine Mars.

Mars in domicile is much more laid back than the astro books tell you. It has inner strength and confidence that if it comes down to it, s/he can win over you, but it's likely they won't make a parade out of it.

That is an interesting analogy, and it makes sense. They compensate for their lack of Marsian energy by being more outwardly aggressive than need be.

I've seen that a lot with detrimental planets. Think Venus in Aries or Venus in Scorpio. Or Mercury in Sagittarius. They overdo the planetary expression but sometimes it doesn't come out bad, especially if they're well aspected. Other times, yes, it comes out as vulgar, desperate or superficial.

Not necessarily, because even in astrological terms there's a lot else that can take place in the birth chart that contributes to the overall character of the person and their action orientation. Mars and Pluto are the dominant planets in my chart in relation to MC and Asc respectively. I may've had high testosterone levels in early/mid-teens, but not likely comapred to peers. I've had issues with flat or lagging hormone levels since at least my mid-20s.

Hormmones fluctuate. You won't be able to nail them to a fixed value because of a single birth chart factor.

My sun is exactly conjunct Mars by 0 degrees, it's also conj my Mercury.
My Mars is also exactly parallel Pluto by 0'6 seconds.

When I was a young, like REALLY young, about 4 or so, I remember thinking I was a boy and it took me several years to acknowledge that I was indeed "oh yeah?! " a girl.. Lol I was a huge tomboy and would more often think of myself as a boy than a girl until I was in my teens. I'm bisexual, and feel rather androgynous to be honest. I honestly think that in my immediate past life I was a man because of how confused I was as a small child, plus when I was about 2 or so my mom said by the time I could choose my own toys I chose tools over dolls ha, I'm definitely made to make stuff but like that matters on gender. I was and still am rather reckless at times and accident prone, always hurting myself it seems..
