Mars in Sagittarius in the Eleventh House

The placement of Mars in Sagittarius indicates that you are likely to have desires that are expansive and may even extend beyond your reach. Your actions are likely to reflect these desires and have a bold and outreaching quality. This often manifests in your having a restlessness of spirit and a desire to take actions that will bring you over the next horizon. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Sagittarius are a result of your need for quest and for acting on a stage that is larger than life.

The placement of Mars in Sagittarius is generally harmonious. This is symbolized by the natural trine between Sagittarius and Mars-ruled Aries. Sagittarius is the Mutable Fire sign. The fiery energy associate with Mars symbolically blends harmoniously with the restless and changeable fire of Sagittarius. This enhances the active element associated with Mars, giving it strength and enthusiasm. Action can be taken in either direction – toward the world of ideas or toward the world of the senses. A danger inherent in this placement is that the “wild” nature of the Sagittarian fire could result in you lacking control over your desires and actions.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Sagittarius, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Sagittarius. If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to some1one who projects or embodies Sagittarius-associated traits.

Insecurities

Having Mars in Sagittarius, you have an inner and subconscious awareness that responding to your higher nature will require that you sacrifice your lower nature, your ego. Being insecure within yourself and thoroughly attached to your ego, you are fearful and unwilling to pursue that path. You, therefore, respond to your lower nature and throw yourself into the pursuit of pleasure and enjoyment. With Mars in Sagittarius, fun is the only thing that matters to you but, in reality, “fun” is a mask and a distraction so that you may not have to act to pursue the Real, which beckons you from beyond yourself.

Mars in the 11th House:

Mars in the 11th House suggests that you desire a broader field of action than most people are satisfied with. This may stem from a need to feel socially useful, a desire for recognition, a need to feel part of a group or a concern about the state and future of humanity. Having Mars in the 11th House, the scope of your activity can range from involvement in clubs and other social groups to broad involvement in civic affairs, social causes or even world affairs. Generally, you may feel that you need to make a difference in the world, or your community, and, therefore, you must take action that extends beyond yourself and your own concerns.

With Mars in the 11th House, your actions will also tend to be future-oriented, or designed to have an impact that outlasts yourself. Because of your broad involvement, you may be very busy with activities that are outside the scope of home and work. Although you may have many interests, you will generally be focused and committed once you become engaged in taking action. Because of your orientation toward the future, you may be very good at planning your actions. Having Mars in the 11th House, you are also likely to act more often in group situations than alone.  Sometimes, however, you may be reluctant to take action unless you have the approval of the group. The group, or whatever organization or cause provides you with outward extension, may become a vehicle for propelling and motivating your active energy. In this way, you become more energized and able to accomplish things.

Insecurities

As an individual with Mars in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will find it difficult to maintain your self-esteem without the approval of others. You have very little authentic individual identity and you, therefore, take your identity from your group involvement and from how others see you. You take action within the group that is designed to enhance your own status and draw the attention of the group towards yourself. With Mars in the 11th House, you may act on behalf of the group, generally as its leader or jockeying for a leadership position, but you are really acting on your own behalf. All of your protestations of good will and concern for others are just that. You would really not do anything to benefit anyone unless it did you some good. Your actions never go against the group’s will, for you could not stand to fall out of favor with the group.

Focus of Desires

With Mars in the 11th House, your underlying desire is generally to outlive yourself through your actions having an impact that reaches beyond your own individuality. More specifically, you may desire the recognition and approval of some group or some organization or institution that is greater than yourself. You usually want to feel part of something that is more than yourself. To the extent that you transcend yourself, your desire will be for the welfare of the group to which you belong. The farther you transcend yourself, the wider this group becomes, until it can become all of Creation.
