Sun Square Mars Natal and Transit

Sun square Mars maximum orb 5°00′.

Sun square Mars natal makes you passionate, courageous, and strong-willed. Above all else, though, this aspect produces an incredible amount of energy. This fiery energy builds up in your body and can be challenging to control.

With an endless supply of energy, like a furnace, you are energetic, motivated, and achievement-oriented. But too much hot energy can also make you overexcited and jumpy. You may have been a hyperactive child and suffered through other childhood hardships like depression, loneliness, and alienation.

You may experience quite a lot of trauma and pain in your life. Despite appearing strong, sexy, and brave, you can struggle with self-esteem, mental illness, addiction, and anger management. The key to success with Sun square Mars is transforming the fiery energy into achievement, work, and creative self-expression. You need to be doing something all the time.

Thankfully, you are highly motivated, hard-working, and skillful at getting things done. You can start many projects with incredible initiative. But your direct manner, impatience, and competitiveness can make you appear abrasive or aggressive. Together with a dislike of authority, this can lead to conflict, fierce rivalries, and enemies.

Channel irritation, frustration, and a hot temper into hard work or creative projects. Instead of seeking revenge, use your fighting spirit to turn setbacks into something productive. It could be physical, but your brain can also burn up energy. You would make an excellent champion for a worthy cause.

Taming your fiery willpower and insatiable desires will enable you to harness your many talents and reach your full potential. You possess the strength, versatility, attractiveness, and leadership skills necessary to compete and succeed. Outstanding achievements are possible in business, government, sports, the military, law enforcement, entertainment, and all creative fields.

Sun Square Mars Transit

Sun square Mars transit can bring tests of character from competitors or enemies. Authority figures, or men in general, will look to assert their power, leading to ego conflicts. You may already be irritable and impatient, and you are likely to react to any provocation or threat with aggression. But reckless and impulsive behavior puts you and others in danger.

Not only people, but challenging events may force you to defend your goals or desires. A defensive position is advised. This is certainly not the time to start a conflict or assert your ego. Do not go on the offensive because your strength and courage are low. It is better to submit to authority, seek a compromise, or retreat if your goals are challenged.

You may experience a buildup of anger, resentment, or sexual frustration. Channel these potentially destructive energies constructively so they don’t lead to conflict, accidents, muscle pain, or exhaustion. Burning up this hot energy also lowers the risk of aggression and threats from ego-driven individuals and authority figures.

Exercise, masturbation, or hard work are preferred so long as you don’t push too hard and strain something. Working on a pet project is best done alone.

It threatens the Native with a sharp, acute Disease, Weaknesse, or a Disease in the Eyes, either Blindnesse or Waterishnesse, or as we usually say, Blood-shooting, cruell Wounds in the Body, the Life in danger by Fire, Iron or the sudden Blow of some devillish Engine.
The native hath no successe in his Councels or Action, all Matters and Affaires goe crosse and evill with him; let Native therefore begin no new Work, for he will produce little or nothing to perfection upon this or the like Direction; he is subject to robbing upon High-wayes, to have his good name guestioned; it portends death, if it happen in a Climactericall yeer, and upon the opposition, and Mars be Anareta, and Sun Hyleg; it notes a Calenture, Madnesse, deprivation of the Senses, high Feavers. [Christian Astrology, William Lilly, 1647, p.683.]

This interpretation of the Sun square Mars transit also applies to a Solar Eclipse and a New Moon square Mars.
