Hello and welcome to my September blog,

Mars is in the sign of Cancer.

This wee ball of anger has been in there since September 4 and will remain there until November 3, 2024.

From December 6, 2024 to January 6, 2025 Mars will be in Leo, and then from January 6 to February 23, 2025, Mars will turn retrograde back into Cancer.

So be nice to Cancer suns, Cancer moons and Cancer risings even if they’re a bit crabbier than usual.

Where Mars sits in your horoscope can also paint a pretty accurate picture of your ideal partner.

What does the planet Mars mean in astrology?

Mars and Venus are the love planets in astrology.  Venus is concerned with the feminine, Mars the masculine. Mars is assertive, sexy and eager to please. It can also be warlike, burn out quickly, bully, and suck up all the positive energy around it when the chips are down.

If you don’t know where Mars is in your birth chart, you can contact me, and I can cast your horoscope for you.

Mars in Aries

 

Mars rules Aries. It’s comfortable in its own skin and confident in this zodiac sign. A person that mirrors these self self-same qualities turns you on. Ardent, self-contained types that are naturally enthusiastic and don’t just sit around waiting for life to happen are guaranteed to capture your attention.

Mars in Taurus

It gives you comfort to know that the person you love, often the strong, silent, well-built type, knows your deepest desires.  He or she must have sexual stamina to match yours. Feeling protected turns you on, as does a person in which you induce the odd green flash of jealousy. Secrets keep you together.

Mars in Gemini

Your ideal partner must be multi-faceted, straight to the point, sharp-witted, and is most probably a harmless flirt. You, however, might fantasize about leading a double life, if you’re not already living one. Your Perfect Ten should know a little about a lot, be light on their feet and not too demanding. Socially easy too.

Mars in Cancer

Your ideal partner must be able to bake a mean, well, anything really.  The wider their culinary repertoire the better. The best parties end up in the kitchen and this is the room where many of your relationships begin or are sustained. A healthy appetite and being on good terms with their family are essential.

Mars in Leo

Enough charisma to fill a stadium and comfortable with the idea of a big family, whether that’s in the conventional or unconventional sense. That’s Mars in Leo. The sexy, aloof type that never runs for a bus or breaks a sweat is the type of person you’re drawn to. Proud, with a healthy ego too.

Mars in Virgo

A person that respects his or her mental and physical health gets you hot under the collar. You look for a person that shows their love in a practical way, that notices when you change your appearance. Showiness isn’t really for you, as subtlety wins every time here. You’re also attracted to critical people.

Mars in Libra

Venus rules Libra. You’re a lover not a fighter at heart, yet you’ve more respect for people with strong opinions. Wallflowers need not apply. To get the best out of you, they need to give as good as they get, but also know when to draw the line in social situations – and be able to hold their own. You love a socially adept person.

Mars in Scorpio

Looks are far less important than sheer animal magnetism and an allure that the person knows they have. Your ideal partner may be brooding and silent. There’s an intensity here and destiny brings you two together in order that you transform one another’s lives for the better.

Mars in Sagittarius

There’s an instant chemistry with someone with strong opinions. They must love their freedom as much as you do and respect your need to slip the leash occasionally. Well-read, well-travelled people float your boat, and you might meet them on a cruise, a flight or a train.

Mars in Capricorn

You get off on power and status and are looking for a lover that’s highly sexed. A partner that presents one image to the world of being austere and cold but who’s actually a big softie at heart. You prefer to keep your private life private so discretion is a must.

Mars in Aquarius

You get a kick from looking deep into the eyes of your ideal partner and still being in the dark. You’re attracted to impossible people that spend time and effort trying to throw you off the scent. A wide circle of friends is another condition of you giving your love, likewise other unique or unusual interests.

 

Mars in Pisces

Fussy people that iron their socks and bedsheets, alphabetise stuff and organise cupboards float your boat. They’re also likely deeply romantic and poetic and occasionally flaky. Your idea of heaven might also be whatever you want it to be because you tend to project your ideal onto the people you love. They might shape-shift or wear a ‘mask’ and you’re intrigued by how versatile they are.
