Mars rules over your energy.
BlenderTimer and diluck via Canva While most people think of Sun signs or Venus signs when it comes to zodiac compatibility, Mars, the planet of passion, can also play an important role in your relationships.
Your Mars sign shows what you love and who you are attracted to. Mars represents your ego, determination, and drive.
Mars is associated with arguing and fighting because of the intensity it brings to the natal chart.
Wherever Mars is located in your natal chart, it colors the energy of that astrology house and zodiac sign.
So, when Mars is in a particular zodiac sign, it controls your impulses and your willpower in that area. And when Mars is in transit during the year and conjuncts your natal Mars placement, it can ignite your natal chart.
