1.54 RULING PLANET: MERCURY
In Aries, Mercury makes Mars unfavorable. It adds scheming ways to a keen, ambitious nature, tuning it to selfish interests.
In Taurus, Mercury retards Venus, often turning the sympathy of this sign into jealousy and intrigue. Natural abilities are generally quickened, sometimes in a helpful way.
1.53 RULING PLANET: MARS
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.
