Mars in Aries in the Sixth House

The placement of Mars in Aries indicates that you have a need to feel that you are being sufficiently assertive in pursuing your desires and taking action. At the base of this feeling is a need to validate your sense of selfhood by acting in the world and, thus, gaining tangible proof of your existence. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Aries are a result of this very strong will to act.

Mars is at home in Aries. This is symbolized by the rulership of Mars over Aries. Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign. The fiery, active energy of Aries symbolically stimulates the functions associated with Mars, bringing these functions into their element. While the Martian energy gains full expression in Aries, there is the danger, however, that you will over-indulgence those functions that are symbolized by Mars. This is symbolically represented by an overabundance of fire energy in this combination.

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

Inseguridades

With Mars in Aries, too insecure in your own selfhood to consider others, you forget all but your ego and its needs. Your desires and actions are selfish and ultimately destructive. Subconsciously fearing retribution for the “original sin” of ego (which is symbolically freshly born in Aries), you defend yourself against a hostile world by preemptively taking a “me-first” stand. This over-assertiveness, however, only masks the weakness of your insecure ego.

Mars in the 6th House:

Mars in the 6th House suggests that, though you may engage in many externally directed actions, the ultimate aim of your activity is to improve yourself and, particularly, to refine the rough edges of your personality. The 6th House symbolizes the gradual shift of focus from self to other. Consequently, you desire to present to others an image and a person that lives up to your own ideals and values. Consciously or subconsciously, therefore, having Mars in the 6th House, your actions are designed to make you a more suitable person for social contact and social interaction.

As an individual with Mars in the 6th House, this often involves you learning more humility and learning how to subordinate your own desires to the will of others. Therefore, the desire/action function may not appear to be particularly strong in you. It may appear that you are suppressing your own desires and acting on other people’s desires or wishes. In actuality, you are manifesting your deeper desire to sublimate your ego in order to gain the favor and respect of others.

Inseguridades

With Mars in the 6th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will continually find yourself in subservient positions and you will chafe at your lack of ability or opportunity to actualize your own desires. You will be frustrated at the restrictions that are placed on you and at how you have to work and obey others in order to obtain what you want to have. To willingly submit appears to you like admitting defeat. In truth, having Mars in the 6th House, you do not want to submit out of fear that your own individuality will disappear and be consumed in serving the will of others.

Having Mars in the 6th House, you are not so secure of your own identity that you feel you can maintain your integrity as a slave of the will of others. Out of this fear of submission, you often attempt to control your circumstances and your own actions. You may become obsessed or absorbed in the detail of exerting control and not letting anything get out of your control. Since the world is ever fluid and since so many  circumstances are beyond your control, with Mars in the 6th House, your level of frustration is bound to show  itself through either loss of temper, or scattered, wild or neurotic activity, or further  attempts to obsessively maintain control.

Enfoque de los deseos

As an individual with Mars in the 6th House, you are likely to have a desire, either conscious or subconscious, to achieve perfection. You may therefore experience a constant desire for self-improvement.  Sometimes, this may manifest as never being satisfied with yourself or the level to which you have attained. Thus, you may experience more the frustration than fulfillment. You may also have a desire for health, good working conditions and relations and, generally, to be thought of as a good and competent person.
