Mars in Aries in the Twelfth House

The placement of Mars in Áries 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.

Inseguranças

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 12th House:

The Mars in the 12th House placement is most often seen as problematic or detrimental. This is especially true if you are male. This is because the active and assertive nature represented by Mars is opposite the passive and inward looking focus of the 12th House. The blending of the two energies must take place at a high level of consciousness and with care and discipline. In its more positive mode, this placement suggests a desire for hidden knowledge or for the dissolution or transcendence of the ego, with action taken to achieve these ends.

Mars in the 12th House also indicates that you may have an impulse toward compassion and sensitivity. This may shape your actions and desires in a spiritual direction, but it may also result in you holding back your assertiveness out  of regard for others. You may also be attracted to the subtler arts, particularly to music.

Dissolution and boundarilessness, which are associated with the 12th House may also produce negative tendencies without the discipline necessary to hold to a high spiritual path. Having Mars in the 12th House, deception, escapism and self-destruction may infuse your motivations and actions.

Inseguranças

With Mars in the 12th House, if you are inwardly insecure, your attraction to the unknown and your sense of boundarilessness will make you fearful. Without boundaries, it is difficult for you to impose discipline on your actions and desires. You realize this and may be afraid to act. The “unknown” which frightens you are the Unconscious, which would swallow up and destroy your conscious ego.

Having Mars in the 12th House, one defense against your fears is to flee from those things that are symbolized by the 12th House and lead a very conventional life. In ignoring the unknown and failing to deal with it, however, you leave yourself open to its unwelcome intrusion in the form of unlooked for sorrows, illness, deceptions, etc. These are nothing more than calls from your subconscious for you to pay attention to your inner self.  Another type of defense against your fears is the opposite of the first. You define your desires and your actions within the purview of the 12th House. With Mars in the 12th House, you undertake roles and actions that are caricatures of the process of Unbecoming.  This is basically a self-destructive, as opposed to a self-transcending path. You can be consumed by addictive and destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse, pathological lying, dependency, etc. The self-destruction may be done openly, or it may remain hidden, with you leading a “double life” – hiding your actions and desires with deception.

Foco dos desejos

As an individual with Mars in the 12th House, your desire tends to be inward and for things that are immaterial or hidden.  Mars in the 12th House may signify spiritual desire or a desire to explore the realms of the unconscious. It generally indicates that you do not have much attraction for material objects. Instead, you desire the universal. Mars in the 12th House may also signify desire for things that are hidden or forbidden. Your aims and motivations may be obscure, or your aims and desires may be deceptive.
