Are You Using Your Mars Energy or Is It Using You?

This episode explores Mars/Ares as the primal drive to act, fight, and survive, contrasting impulsive “Ares” with the strategic Roman “Mars,” and emphasizing the higher lesson of thinking before reacting and subduing conflict without fighting. It links Mars to motivation, will, courage, tools and weapons (knives, surgeons, butchers), scars, drumming, and protective instincts, and explains how Mars placement by house and aspects shapes where and how people are energized. The speaker weaves in myths of Phrixus and Helle (Golden Fleece), Assyrian and Sumerian seasonal symbolism (Dumuzi and Inanna), and cautionary tales like Icarus and Phaethon to show evolved vs. unevolved Mars. Gloria Steinem’s chart and life are used as a modern example of developed Mars courage and leadership. 00:00 Mars & the Art of War 02:03 Greek Ares vs Roman Mars 05:54 Mars in the Chart & the Myth of Aries 10:57 Chart Study: Gloria Steinem 15:34 The Hero's Journey & Cautionary Myths If you’d like to explore more about astrology, visit my website: 🌟 https://starcycles.com 🎆 Curious about the Astrology of 2026?
