Mars in Capricorn in the Fourth House

The placement of Mars in Capricorn indicates that your desires are likely to be goal oriented and focused on success to a greater extent than is true with most people. Your actions tend to follow your desires, seeking to achieve your goals in the most practical way possible, for you see practicality is the surest route to success. Having Mars in Capricorn, this often manifests as drive and ambition motivating actions that produce results. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Capricorn are a result of your need to act in order to achieve your desires and ambitions.

The placement of Mars in Capricorn often produces tension and stress.  This is symbolized by the natural square between Capricorn and Mars-ruled Bélier.  However, the tension produced is often constructive, generating energy that is harnessed to produce results. Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth sign. The active earth principle of associated with Capricorn symbolically forces the functions associated with Mars to operate through structure and in practical ways. The will (desire) must be made concrete through action. This may inhibit and stifle the initiative and spontaneity associated with the Mars energy. With Mars in Capricorn, the positive and constructive outcome of restricting the active Mars function is to strengthen it through focus and discipline.

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

Insécurités

Having Mars in Capricorn, your insecurity is that you do not believe that you are worthy of success and, consequently, your actions are programmed for failure. Yet, there is an inner drive that demands success of you and this only intensifies your insecurity because it engenders a fear of the consequences of your inevitable failure. As an individual with Mars in Capricorn, your ego does not allow you to submit to discipline, which you see as a punishing task-master.  Without discipline, attempts to achieve are without success. Your insecurities and feelings of inferiority may result in “fear of success.” At any rate, you seem to be blocked at every turn. Self-doubt caused by past failures creates a self-perpetuating cycle of failure in which you are trapped. Alternatively, with Mars in Capricorn, you may use your ambition and drive to cover deeper insecurities, overcompensating by your always acting to achieve your ambitions no matter what the cost. This may produce outward “success,” but inward failure and it does not resolve your inner insecurities.

Mars in the 4th House:

Mars in the 4th House may be seen as a difficult placement, given that Mars is placed in the house that is squared to the house that it rules (the 1st House). The active energy symbolized by Mars may have difficulty expressing itself outwardly when its natural focus in the 4th House is toward what is gathered in and rooted in place. Thus, the active function symbolized by Mars is often seen as weak when placed in the 4th House.

On the other hand, having Mars in the 4th House, if your energy comes from your roots, it may be exceptionally strong and powerful. You gain confidence from having a firm foundation and knowing exactly what you want. Your desires are born of deep well-springs and motivate you to take strong and consistent action. With Mars in the 4th House, you may also be content with acting within the more limited scope symbolized by the 4th House. In this case, you may be a strong actor within your zone of comfort or in matters that are close to your roots, but appear uninterested or ineffective outside of that focus.

Having Mars in the 4th House, the active energy symbolized by Mars may be focused on protecting you and those that are close to you. If you have a strong drive and will to act, you may become frustrated by the rather limited scope of the field within which you are allowed to act. As an individual with Mars in the 4th House, you may also feel limited if your role is to be a caretaker for others. You may feel that all of your energy is taken for doing for others and that there is nothing left to devote to doing for yourself. You may also feel a heavy weight of burden and responsibility in caring for others, particularly family members.

Another manifestation of Mars in the 4th House is that your actions may be conditioned by your upbringing or by preexisting events. Your emotional responses may have played a role in this conditioning. You may also face the issue of how to free your actions from your conditioning and also of acting independently from family expectations. With Mars in the 4th House, resolving these issues generally involves finding yourself and determining what you really desire and then taking action in order to actualize your desires.

Insécurités

With Mars in the 4th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will wish to act and make an impression on the world; you will wish to obtain the objects of your desire, but you feel held back by both internal and external factors. In truth, you lack the courage to go beyond your “safe” boundaries to take action and obtain your desires. Thus, you are prone to sulking or to feeling that you are weak and must be protected. You are content to travel along well-worn paths of action and routine but you yearn to break out and assert yourself. Having Mars in the 4th House, you may seek to overcompensate by dominating your own private and domestic world. You may become very demanding and assertive with your family or with those who are under your care.

Often, and particularly if you feel threatened, you will react emotionally. As an individual with Mars in the 4th House, this pattern of conditioned reaction may particularly affect your family dynamics. You may also become the dependent one within a family situation in order to obtain  your desires and get others to care for you.

Focus of Desire

With Mars in the 4th House, your desires are likely to be somewhat limited in scope, but focused on matters of family and home life. It is common for you to desire emotional closeness, especially from family members. For women, desires may be expressed through mothering. Also, Mars in the 4th House may indicate that your desires have been conditioned by your mother and/or family. You may also have a great desire for stability and for rootedness. You may also desire to get to the bottom of things and/or to explore your background, heritage or subconscious.
