Mars in Pisces in the Third 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.

Inseguridades

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 3rd House:

Mars in the 3rd House is compatible with its externally directed nature. The 3rd House is associated with early and simple contacts with your environment and with learning about that environment. The outward focus and explorative nature of the 3rd House allows the action principle of the Mars energy to freely assert itself within the limits of a realm with which you come directly in contact.

With Mars in the 3rd House, your desires are likely to be stimulated by your immediate environment. Your actions are likely to be focused on affecting your immediate environment. Much of this contact may involve interaction at the mental level, since the 3rd House is ruled by Mercury. Consequently, much of your energy and activity may be directed toward learning about the world or communicating within the immediate circle of your contacts.

Having Mars in the 3rd House, since so much of your activity involves interaction with the concrete world around you, if your Mars principal is functioning well, you are likely to develop much competency in dealing with the day-to-day aspects of life. Of course, if your Mars energy is dysfunctional, you are likely to find everyday life to be fraught with problems. With Mars in the 3rd House, you are also likely to be assertive in your daily life, especially when communicating with others.

Inseguridades

As an individual with Mars in the 3rd House, insecurities in the Mars function stems from a feeling of weakness and inferiority which is the result of a distorted and overemphasized view of your ego’s role.  This may manifest as either timidity and incompetence or, due to overcompensation, as aggressiveness or overachievement. It will affect you at both the desire and action levels.

When focused in the 3rd House, the dysfunctional energy readily finds it  outlet in your interaction with the environment. At the desire level, you may be insufficiently motivated due to your belief that you cannot overcome a hostile environment. Or, you may have improper desires, which are either suppressed or which require you to act aggressively toward their fulfillment. At the activity level, with Mars in the 3rd House, you may feel thwarted in your actions by the environment or by your inability to take competent action with respect to it. Consequently, you may withdraw from active involvement in every-day life.

At the other extreme, having Mars in the 3rd House, you may be impelled to assert your will onto your immediate environment and act over-aggressively towards it. Whether this has good or bad effects on others and society depends on your relación to your superego. Whether you act the hero or the villain, you will suffer distraction and imbalance in your inner life because of your absorption with affecting the world through your actions.

Enfoque de los deseos

With Mars in the 3rd House, your desires will be associated with your immediate environment. The link between the senses and desire – which is their natural association – will be even more prevalent. Paradoxically, this link being so obvious enables you to more easily control the desire/sense complex, if you truly wish to do so.

Normally, however, as an individual with Mars in the 3rd House, your desires will arise from your experience. You may easily be susceptible to verbal suggestion. A yearning for immediate gratification of desire is also common with this placement. More positively, you may focus your desire on learning – acquiring knowledge about your environment. With Mars in the 3rd House, you are likely to have a desire to communicate, which will be positively expressed as long as you have something worthwhile to communicate. Otherwise, your communication is simply asserting your ego.
