Mars and the Weight of Destiny

For Libra Ascendants, Mars rules over both wealth and union. It commands the 2nd house of speech and possessions and the 7th house of love and loss. These are houses of endings, yet also of continuity. Does this make Mars less dangerous?

A Restless Force

Mars is fire, bold and unyielding. It does not soften easily. It shapes fortunes yet stirs conflict. Its placement decides its nature. Exalted, it builds empires. Afflicted, it burns bridges. When time favors it, it grants power and passion. When it turns, it brings downfall.

A Rule That Cannot Save

Some believe its dual rulership weakens its harm. That a single hand cannot strike twice. But Mars is not a kind teacher. If troubled, it takes what it once gave. Wealth becomes fleeting. Love turns to war. Words cut deeper than swords.

Finding Peace in Chaos

  • Chant Mars’ name. Seek control.
  • Give red grains. Ease its fire.
  • Speak with care. Words hold fate.
  • Honor Venus. Balance must be kept.

Mars cannot be tamed, but it can be understood. It tests, it teaches, but never without purpose.
