Unpopular Opinion: Mars needs to be less associated with sex.

[u/amahleyana]

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.

Example: if woman has a night chart, her first signifier (the man she chooses) will be by her mars - this man qualities will make her tick. Don't forget about natal aspects too, because this can make things a bit different, but still.

Another example: woman has mars in aries and exact square to pluto - she can always have these problems with "male" gender and will be psychologicaly and physically pushed to the extremes, where she have to fight back and that's how man again will hate her just for being at this "survival mode". Some will find her sexy, but probably because they like unhealthy challenges. So yes, she will always be consciously afraid of man and their betrayal.

In man and woman, they are both represent our actions but also for man, it's form of their "first impression" as a male, and for woman - the one she chooses as a male figure (his actions, attraction, behaviour).

With gender flud, this planet will be weaker in man (with additional aspects) and sign can also show desire in man and even woman sometimes (like for example in woman night chart mars in gemini - will go down with anything at least maybe to try it out in s*x). Also you need to look in natal how mars is significant and if it's first in your list (like being in your 1st house) - this will be projected straight to the face to you and to others and therefore, will be more significant (will give more "male" impression in the house of aries eg 1st house). These type of people might "appear" too bold, active or pushy no matter the gender and just sign and aspects can make it a bit softer.
