Mars in Pisces in the Eighth 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 Bélier 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.

Insécurités

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 8th House:

Mars in the 8th House is generally well-placed. This view, however, seems to be greatly influenced by Mars’ association with desire and sexuality. The 8th House is traditionally the house of sexuality and Mars’ placement here suggests a masculine sexuality that is “in its element.” Following this line of thought suggests that you are generally able to intimately express your sexuality.

Another dynamic that is suggested by Mars in the 8th House is the enhancement of your ability to act through the power that comes from intensity and focus. This is a power that generally comes from within you and allows you to act with force and confidence. It is your intimate involvement with your actions and with the thing or situation acted upon that is the source of this power in action.  Having Mars in the 8th House, you, generally, are not afraid to act. You know, often intuitively, both the appropriate form and the ultimate consequence of your actions. Your actions may, therefore, appear to others to be strong, powerful and fearless. This often inspires trust and respect. The outcome of this is often that you are placed in a position where you can lead or manage others.  With Mars in the 8th House, the intimacy that you wish to experience through your actions is often viewed by you in terms of control. If you can control through your actions, then you can enforce an intimate relation with the object of control. This desire for control sometimes becomes an obsession. It may extend to all of your actions, from a desire to have power over others, to a desire to maintain control over your own actions, to a will to dominate your sexual partner.  As an individual with Mars in the 8th House, sometimes this desire for control can have an inhibiting effect on your active function. You become retentive and may have difficulty acting. You may wish only to act in secret so as to protect your “power.” The polarity of this is the urge to liberate the power of action that resides within you.

Insécurités

Having Mars in the 8th House, if you are inwardly insecure, this will lead you to crave intimacy but you find none that you can obtain. In actuality, your ego will always stand in the way of experiencing intimacy but you are not willing to give up your ego. Instead, you are determined to be master of the “other,” whether this “other” is your partner, your associates or the situation in which you find yourself. With Mars in the 8th House, you cannot let go because, in your eyes, this would mean losing control. Therefore, all of your actions are bent upon securing and maintaining control. In this way, you seek to tie others to yourself.

As an individual with Mars in the 8th House, if you cannot control a situation, then you may react with one of two polar responses. You may lash out violently, desperately trying to enforce the intimacy of your control. Or, you may withdraw into your own intimacy, where you can be assured of “control” and where you can brood over the wrongs that have been done to you and plot your revenge.

Concentration des désirs

With Mars in the 8th House, your desires are generally bound up with seeking intimacy or control.  This may manifest as a desire for sexual intimacy or for power. For some individual with Mars in the 8th House, this desire for power may be expressed through the occult. For some, the desire for intimacy may be focused on that experience of ultimate intimacy with life and death.  Your desires are likely to be private and to remain private. You may consider them to be too intimate to share, even with those closest to you – or, certainly, only with those closest to you.
