Find your Mars placementMars
In astrology, Mars represents your drive, ambition, physical energy, and how you assert yourself. It governs anger, courage, competition, and sexual desire. The sign Mars occupies in your chart shows how you take action and pursue goals — whether aggressively (Aries), strategically (Scorpio), or diplomatically (Libra). Mars is also a key factor in physical vitality and athletic ability.
