Mars in Scorpio

With Mars in Scorpio, Mars is in its traditional home: you act with intensity, strategy and a will that never lets go. Your energy is concentrated and runs below the surface, and it is formidably effective over time.

People don’t always see you coming, but once you have decided something, you see it through, even if it takes years. Mars in Scorpio, in its traditional home, gives deep, controlled energy that knows how to wait for the right moment. You don’t waste strength on fuss: you observe, prepare, then act with precision. Your resilience is remarkable, and crises that would break others wake an unexpected power in you. Your desire is intense and magnetic, and it engages your whole being. The price of that tenacity is holding grudges. You don’t forget an offence, and the temptation to get even, or at least keep a record of every wound, can poison you. Your anger is cold and silent, and sometimes more unsettling to those around you than an outburst. You may also try to control everything, other people included. Your strength takes its finest form when you use it for transformation, your own or that of a stuck situation, rather than revenge.
