Mars in Pisces in the First House

The placement of Mars in Pisces suggests that your desires and actions tend toward the universal, all-encompassing and transcendent. However, since it is difficult to conceive and operate at these levels, the actual manifestation of Mars in Pisces is often that there is a diffusion, ambiguity or even confusion with respect to your desires and actions. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Pisces are a result of your underlying need to actively lose yourself in the Ocean of Love and the difficulty and frustration produced when trying to fulfill this need in the material world.

The placement of Mars in Pisces is generally a difficult one. This is symbolized not so much by the natural semi-sextile between Pisces and Mars-ruled Aries as by the juxtaposition of the first (Aries) and last (Pisces) signs in the Zodiac and the contrast in their developmental energies. Pisces is the Mutable Water sign. The functions associated with Mars symbolically find difficulty in getting any focus or gaining any foothold in the ever – changing wateriness of Pisces. With Mars in Pisces, your goals are likely to appear blurred and your action toward achieving those goals, if taken at all, is often misdirected. Only if your desire can be elevated toward the ethereal plane ruled by Neptune will the Mars energy be able to function without hindrance.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Pisces, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Pisces. This may be problematic, since Pisces is often thought to be a “weak” sign, with more affinity for the feminine. If you are female with Mars in Pisces, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Pisces-associated traits.  Sometimes this may result in your being attracted to men who are weak and will be dependent on you. If, however, you have transcended onto a more spiritual dimension, Mars is likely to symbolize a man or men in your life who exhibit spirituality.

Insecurities

With Mars in Pisces, because you are inwardly insecure, you are timid about exerting your will and are, consequently, confused about what it is that you want. This makes you vulnerable to emotional manipulation by others, who see that your own will is not strong. As an individual with Mars in Pisces, you may either seek escape (which ultimately only leads to more confusion and a loss of self empowerment) or you may erect a defensive front in order to protect yourself against your own vulnerability and hide your confusion.  Whichever defense is employed, it often involves you generating a network of lies and self-deceptions.

Mars in the 1st House:

Mars rules the 1st House and, thus, Mars in the 1st House suggests that you have a strong desire/action function. With Mars in the 1st House, if you have a confident sense of self and a clear identity, then your desires are likely to be expressed through that identity and you are likely to take assertive action in order to fulfill your desires.

As an individual with Mars in the 1st House, desire and action also may help to shape your identity. What you desire may be reflected in your self-image and the actions that you take in response to these desires may define your identity, both to yourself and to others.

With Mars in the 1st House, you are generally not shy about acting on your own behalf or asserting your own desires and wishes. The self-confidence that you project through your actions often leads to respect and admiration from others. You may particularly be seen as an individual of action.

Having Mars in the 1st House, it may be easy for you to act and pursue your desires, because you tend to do so from a standpoint of innocence or naiveté – that is, secondary considerations or inhibitions that may result from your contemplating the effect your actions may have on others tend not to occur. Thus, you may take and express much freedom of action.

Insecurities

As an individual with Mars in the 1st House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will not know your authentic self. You are, therefore, constantly proving your identity by asserting yourself and your personality, especially through your actions. With Mars in the 1st House, you have no control over your desires, but you feel a right to pursue whatever you want without consideration for others.

Having Mars in the 1st House, if you are not taking action, particularly if you are not asserting yourself in some way, you are likely to feel vulnerable and empty. Others may consider you to be pushy or too aggressive, or even anti-social in your behavior. However, you consider that such behavior establishes your identity and gains you the respect of others.

Focus of Desires

With Mars in the 1st House, your desires are likely to be highly personal. At times, it may appear – or be the case – that your desires are self-centered. Your desires are likely to strongly reflect your own self-identity. This is so because, with Mars in the 1st House, the focus of your desires is to establish your identity and have a strong presence. For some, this focus becomes a desire to know yourself.
