Mars in Scorpio in the Seventh House

The placement of Mars in Scorpio indicates that you are likely to have desires that spring from a need for power or intimacy and that your actions are likely to be influenced by your intense emotional drives. This often manifests in your actions having an intensity that is the result of focused emotional energy. Others may, therefore, see you as powerful or aggressive. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Scorpio are a result of your deep need for emotional security that is brought about through intimacy  or feeling that you are in control of your actions and desires.

Although Scorpio was formerly considered to be ruled by Mars, the Mars in Scorpio placement has its ambiguities. This is symbolized by the natural quincunx between Scorpio and Mars-ruled Aries. Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign. The active functions associated with Mars symbolically tap into the source of power inherent in Scorpio’s watery depths. The Mars-Scorpio relation may be likened to that of fire and water in a boiler. What is produced is high-pressured steam and energy. When there is a controlled and constructive outlet for this energy, it is a powerful source  of work. If the energy is blocked, suppressed and bottled up with no outlet, it becomes destructively explosive. Scorpio’s association with sexuality through the intense duality inherent in Pluto, its ruling planet, tends to heighten the sexual dimension associated with Mars.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Scorpio, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Scorpio. As alluded to above, this often is associated with an identification of masculinity with sexuality and often, the Scorpio Mars male must struggle to rise above this tendency or to overcome or control intense sexual impulses. If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Scorpio-associated traits. This often manifests as an attraction to powerful, magnetic or sexually vibrant men.

Insécurités

Having Mars in Scorpio, because you are inwardly insecure, you are always seeking power in order to validate your selfhood and attain a feeling of security. If you attain power, you mistake the power that you feel as being personal and yours, rather than recognizing the truth that all power is from the One Source and is only lent to us for our use. Because you have a need to prove your superiority to yourself, you use this power to dominate others. Pure lust for power is a symptom of your inner feeling of powerlessness.  With Mars in Scorpio, you may also fear being controlled and so, in defense, seek to act to control others. On the other hand, if you are extremely insecure, you may shrink from asserting power either out of fear of the consequences should you misuse that power or out of fear that your use of power may prompt someone with greater power to exercise it against you.

Mars in the 7th House:

Mars in the 7th House suggests that you need to achieve a balance between your need for relationship and your need to assert your own will. Traditionally, Mars is in its decline in the 7th House and this placement is often associated with a weak or unassertive will and a submissive nature. The placement of Mars opposite the house that it rules, however, suggests that the path for you to travel, with regard to actualizing your desire/action function, is one of resolving opposites and seeking complements between apparent opposites. With Mars in the 7th House, you may have a tendency, particularly early in life, to be out of balance when it comes to asserting your will within the context of the desires and wills of others.

As an individual with Mars in the 7th House, you are likely to pursue your desires through your involvement in relations. The actions that you are most concerned with are likely to take place within relationships or may involve cooperation or partnership with others. One-on-one relationships are likely to be particularly important for you in achieving your goals.  Naturally, when you are operating in this mode, you will tend to treat the desires and motivations of others with consideration. Having Mars in the 7th House, you will likely bend to the will of those with whom you are involved. You realize that your welfare, the attainment of your desires, is dependent upon others and, therefore, you will usually seek to please or gain the favor of others. If carried too far, this could lead to an unbalanced desire/action function. It could even lead to dependence or co-dependence.

Insécurités

With Mars in the 7th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will secretly harbor your desires but will not express them without the “permission” of others. Even then, you act only in ways that you believe are sanctioned by your relationship. You may well have no idea what your true desires are. Your actions may be totally dominated by the (perceived) desires of your partner. You may, thus, be perceived as weak-willed and totally under the domination of your partner.

Having Mars in the 7th House, though you do not acknowledge your own desires, they nevertheless exist and will assert themselves, often deviously and perversely. While thinking that you are doing what pleases your partner, you may actually be engaged in achieving your own agenda. Thus, the actions that you perform in the context of your relationship often go awry and conflict between you and your partner is likely to be the result.

With Mars in the 7th House, you may feel that you can never do what is right to please your partner. In fact, often you do not do what will really please the partner. Sometimes your partner’s reaction may be violent or demeaning. With your own desires continually unacknowledged and frustrated, you may be overwhelmed by impulsive and often destructive actions. This may fuel the conflict that exists within your relationship.

As an individual with Mars in the 7th House, sometimes the roles may be reversed. You will over-compensate for your insecurities about your desires and actions and for your fear of being dominated by others. You will preempt these fears by becoming the dominant partner in a relationship. Driven by the need to protect your own self-perceived weakness, you may become particularly aggressive and dominating in your relationships with others.

Concentration des désirs

Having Mars in the 7th House, your desires are focused on or through relationships. You have a strong desire for close relationships. You may very well feel that you cannot live happily without being in a relationship. You may see participating in a successful relationship as a primary goal in your life. Consequently, you may work very hard at pleasing your partner and developing the relationship.

With Mars in the 7th House, you are likely to be aware of your partner’s desires and take them seriously.  You may feel that you have very few desires of your own, but that you and your partner’s joint desires are sufficiently motivating. It is not uncommon for you to receive much of your motivation from your partner. The challenge with Mars in the 7th House is for you to learn to express and act upon your own desires within a relationship. This will result in the relationship actualizing as a fuller partnership.
