Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. Thank you so much for joining me today

as we're going to talk about your natal Mars sign. And just like I've done in previous shows,

I'm going to do an overview of all 12 astrological signs and how they are expressed through the energy of Mars. Mars is how we assert

ourselves, how we go after what we want. Mars is masculine energy. It relates to our desires,

our physical body, our sense of what matters to us, what we want, and how we go about getting what we want.

If you think about Mars as a vehicle, it's how you drive the car.

It's how you move it forward.

And of course, there's different expressions of Mars through each of the 12 astrological signs.

So we will take a look at how that energy is meant to be expressed consciously in those 12 signs,

as well as looking at the lower expressions of Mars.

And you can look at this as a continuum of even when you weren't aware of how your Mars energy was showing up,

there were probably some things you were doing

that maybe weren't out of the best choices. They weren't the best ways of going after what

you wanted. They were frustrating, et cetera. But as you raise your understanding of this

Mars energy in your chart, you can raise up to a new expression of how you go about getting what you want

and what your particular Mars energy is here to show you. Before I go over each of the Mars signs,

I want to talk about a few things that can show up in a chart. If you were born during Mars retrograde, for example,

then your natal Mars in your astrology chart is turned inwards. And that means that you are

naturally programmed to go inwards to consider the actions you're going to take before you move forward.

And whenever there's a personal planet in retrograde, it's typically a one, two step process

instead of a direct process.

Whereas a regular Mars that goes forward will just go after what it wants.
