Sun Conjunct Mars Natal and Transit

Sun conjunct Mars maximum orb 7°30′.

Sun conjunct Mars natal makes you energetic, heroic, courageous, fierce, and fearless. You are militant and warlike, with strong organizational skills and leadership abilities. However, you can also be defiant, intolerant, over-confident, cruel, and vindictive.

You are passionate about asserting your identity. You will fight at all costs to be yourself. Your instinct is to look after number one, yet you excel in emergencies, with focus, quick impulses, and fast reaction time.

Highly sexual, you should enjoy the conquest. This aspect gives incredible energy and initiative, but endurance might not be your strength. Mars is raw, untamed, brash, bold, and sometimes vulgar.

The Sun’s creative fire, combined with Mars’s forceful speed, still drives you and makes you ambitious. However, you may not handle rejection well. Your relentless self-assertion can be awe-inspiring, and you can achieve great things with noble aims.

When acting impulsively, there is a danger of accidents, violence, cuts, abrasions, and injuries to your eyes. You would excel in a physical or competitive career such as business, politics, surgery, metalworking, the armed forces, or law enforcement.

Sun Conjunct Mars Transit

Sun conjunct Mars transit brings abundant energy and initiative that must be used constructively; otherwise, it can have damaging consequences. If this hot energy builds up in the body, it can be released spontaneously and without control. Such a release of uncontrolled hot energy would be rapid and destructive, hurting yourself or others. Although this transit can manifest positively or negatively, depending on how it is used, I consider it generally harmful because of its potential for damage.

Remaining unaware of the energy buildup can lead to accidents, aggression, temper tantrums, and even violence or rape. You will initially notice the energy buildup as irritation, annoyance or impatience. At this stage, or beforehand, the best option is to consciously engage in a positive activity. This transit gives great potential to transform the hot energy into something constructive and productive.

The creative nature of the Sun conjunct Mars can be applied to art, or even better, sculpture and other creative pursuits, such as dance. Physical activity is preferred, but the brain can also expend significant energy. Sex drive can go through the roof, and babymaking fits the role as both creative and productive, enjoyable too. You can express your identity through physical actions.

A high degree of assertiveness and initiative is ideal for starting new projects. Keep an inflated ego in check when working with others at this time. Combined with your direct, abrupt attitude, this suggests you prefer working alone.

Staying conscious of how others perceive you in your relationships is essential. They may feel threatened or dominated, which can lead them to react with aggression or spite. If you feel an argument brewing or are provoked, it’s wiser to back down to maintain harmony.

If you or your loved ones are threatened and endangered, now is the time to act. Your muscles are primed to act on instinct when the Adrenaline kicks in. In a fight, you don’t need to think; just do it!.

This Direction loads the Body with many Infirmities, afflicts it with excesse of Choler, with sharp acute Feavers, most bitter paines of Head ach, viciates the sight of the Eyes with Dulnesse or other casulties, deformes the Face with Wounds or Scars, and the rest of the Body with Iron, Fire, or hot, scalding Water; it designes the Native to be inconstant and variable in his Councels, cogitations and Actions, and that he shall meet with many labours and difficulties by reason of wicked, pernitious Persons or Malefactors; his Enemies will domineer over him; the Native shall easily fall into the hatred and frowns of Kings and great men, and he oucht to be carefull of receiving prejudice or hurt by the biting of a mad Dog, or kick of a Horse or some other fourfooted Creature: it’s good in this yeer he avoyd Souldiers: unto a Martiall Nativity it gives Preferment: it bids Kings beware of Poyson and Trechery, when a violent death is signified, it shewes, the time or occasion thereof is at hand; in moyst Signes, it’s sure signe of the Bloody Flux. [Christian Astrology, William Lilly, 1647, p.682.]

This interpretation of the Sun conjunct Mars transit can also apply to a Solar Eclipse and a New Moon conjunct Mars.
