In Aries, Mars doubles its influence, this being its own sign. The Aries nature becomes proportionately strong, with impetuosity its predominant trait.

In Taurus, Mars adds strength to Venus, but increases the sensual, pleasure loving trend of this sign, without counteracting untrue and undesirable traits.

In Gemini, Mars adds drive to Mercury, increasing the unfortunate aspects of this sign. The Gemini nature, already active, can become violent add sometimes unpredictable.

In Cancer, Mars dominates the weaker Moon, arousing action which can be used to good advantage, but only if controlled. Otherwise, this combination can prove very dangerous.

In Leo, Mars combines with the Sun to give active purpose to this sign. But it also increases aggressive qualities and the desire to domineer.

In Virgo, Mars and Mercury are usually favorable, as Mars adds action to the analytical nature of Virgo. Dubious schemes should be avoided.

In Libra, Mars unites with Venus to add strength and activity to this sign, but it may narrow many purposes at the expense of fair judgment, lessening the Libra sympathy.

In Scorpio, the Martian influence is definitely doubled, producing arrogance and forcefulness at the expense of all else. A dangerous combination.

In Sagittarius, Mars adds activity to Jupiter, which absorbs such influence, generally to excellent advantage. All Sagittarian traits are strengthened.

In Capricorn, Mars gives purpose to the moody Saturn. The combination furthers the development of the Capricorn traits, but this sometimes applies to bad as much as good. So be wary of the Martian influence.

In Aquarius, Mars again combines with Saturn, often quite effectively, as purpose is needed in this sign. The chief danger lies in scattering of effort.

In Pisces, Mars and Jupiter combine almost to perfection, as this sign needs Martian activity and is definitely capable of shaping it. Here, the Martian Dive can be given full play in the development of natural traits.
