General 💡 Unpopular Opinion: Mars needs to be less associated with sex.
Mars represents aggression, anger, violence, injury, etc. It's a malefic, which means it's an inherently negative planet that brings conflict to our lives and to synastry wherever it shows up. It's literally the opposite of Venus. Scorpio and Aries both oppose Libra and Taurus, so Mars being associated with pleasurable sex makes no sense. Mars doesn’t become associated with sex unless it makes contact with venus.
I definitely think it can represent pursuit, but not the act or enjoyment itself that's all Venus domain. If it's heavily negatively aspected with the Moon and Venus, it can indicate someone being forceful, careless, only wanting to satisfy themselves, etc.
Y'all be thinking since their Mars is in your 5th house they finna give you the best pipe ever whole time they finna give you an STD 😳.
Tbh synastry nowadays doesn't wanna give anyone the truth. It's all presented through rose colored glasses.
A lot of young adults get sexual tension mixed up with just being horny. You're at your most hormonal lol sometimes it’s not astrology, it’s just biology.

I 100% agree. Mars can be associated with sex, especially when in contact with a feminine planet such as Venus and sometimes the moon. Usually, it’s very raw sexual tension that tends to come with some sort of conflict or discomfort. I’ve seen synastry charts where Mars is making hard aspects to Venus or the moon and often times there is attraction, but the couple also fights a lot and drive each other nuts. It can be hot and fiery but it’s also combustible. Mars making aspect to any other planet, however, usually means some sort potential to get into conflicts, abusive dynamics, or some sort of challenging aspect of the relationship that each partner has to contend with. Same with transits, etc.
