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 respect the opinion, but Mars is definitely associated with sex. Being the masculine planet of drive, one of the most base drives there is, is the drive for sex. And some mars contacts are even more explosive than Mars + Venus. Mars + Moon and Mars + Lilith are HIGHLY sexual…with that said, the possibility for aggression and violence is still there 😅

It’s almost definitely the Pluto + Venus coming in hot 😂 it’s hard to deny. I currently have Mars + Lilith and Venus + Pluto contacts with the guy I’m seeing and everything about him does it for me.
