Understanding Mars in Astrology
Mars is the planet of action, desire, drive, and assertion. Your Mars sign shows how you pursue your goals, express anger and passion, and take initiative. While your Sun sign represents your core identity, Mars reveals your inner warrior and motivational style.
Mars spends about 6-7 weeks in each zodiac sign (or longer when retrograde). This means your Mars sign can be quite different from your Sun sign, explaining why people with the same Sun sign may have completely different approaches to action and ambition.

FAQ
How is Mars different from the Sun sign?
Your Sun sign shows your core identity and life purpose, while Mars shows how you take action and pursue what you want. Think of it as Sun = who you are, Mars = how you go after what you want.
Does Mars affect relationships?
Absolutely! Mars shows your passion and sexual energy in relationships. Many astrologers look at Mars compatibility (alongside Venus) to understand romantic chemistry and how couples handle conflict.
What if my Mars is retrograde?
Mars retrograde in your natal chart (about 9% of people) suggests internalized anger or indirect action. You may need to work harder to assert yourself directly, or you might prefer strategic planning over impulsive action.
