What Your Mars Sign Says About Love and Desire

Everything you need to know about your Mars sign means for your compatibility.

How do you pursue others? How do you like to be pursued? Mars is often known as the warrior, igniting the fire beneath your passion. Think of your Mars sign as revealing what you are willing to fight for, and how you navigate that fight.

Mars is where you find your drive and determination; it’s also an indicator of your sexual style.

Depending on the sign it’s in, Mars may, in fact, have a front-lines attack style! This is where understanding how Mars works in a particular sign, as well as with other planets in your birth chart, comes into play. Mars can be slow and sensual or bold and aggressive; Mars can express itself in your chart as a dominant pursuer or the charmer who flirts their way into convincing others to make the first move.

Mars provides helpful context for understanding how you act in relationships, or even flirtations, and is often considered the essential complement to Venus. Pulling together how you express your feelings, what you value, and how you go about getting what you want helps you understand your own approach to romance (and can give you insights into the object of your affection, if you’re brave enough to ask them about their chart!)
