Your Mars sign shows how you go after what you want. Mars usually spends about six weeks in each sign, and much longer when it turns retrograde. If the sign changed on your birthday, the result says when, and which side of the change you need to be on.

Common questions
Common questions
What is a Mars sign?
It is the sign Mars was in when you were born. It describes your drive, how you go after what you want, and how you handle anger and desire.
Do I need my birth time?
Rarely. Mars usually spends about six weeks in each sign, and much longer when it turns retrograde, so most birthdays give one answer.
What does my Mars sign say about relationships?
It shows how you pursue someone, what attracts you physically and how you argue. Astrologers often read it with your Venus sign: Venus for how you love, Mars for how you chase.
Why is my Mars sign different from my Sun sign?
Mars moves at its own pace, so it can be in any sign compared with your Sun. For most people the two are different.
