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 relacionamento 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.

Inseguranças

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.

Marte na 8ª Casa:

Marte na 8ª Casa geralmente está bem posicionado. Essa visão, entretanto, parece ser muito influenciada pela associação de Marte com o desejo e a sexualidade. A 8ª Casa é tradicionalmente a casa da sexualidade e o posicionamento de Marte aqui sugere uma sexualidade masculina que está "em seu elemento". Seguir essa linha de pensamento sugere que você geralmente é capaz de expressar intimamente sua sexualidade.

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 relationship 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.

Inseguranças

Com Marte na 8ª Casa, se você for interiormente inseguro, isso o levará a desejar intimidade, mas não encontrará nenhuma que possa obter. Na verdade, seu ego sempre impedirá que você experimente a intimidade, mas você não está disposto a abrir mão do seu ego. Em vez disso, você está determinado a dominar o "outro", seja ele seu parceiro, seus colegas ou a situação em que se encontra. Com Marte na 8ª Casa, você não pode abrir mão de nada porque, a seu ver, isso significaria perder o controle. Portanto, todas as suas ações estão voltadas para assegurar e manter o controle. Dessa forma, você procura vincular os outros a si mesmo.

Como um indivíduo com Marte na 8ª Casa, se não puder controlar uma situação, poderá reagir com uma de duas respostas polares. Pode atacar violentamente, tentando desesperadamente impor a intimidade de seu controle. Ou pode se retirar para sua própria intimidade, onde pode ter certeza do "controle" e onde pode remoer os erros que lhe foram cometidos e planejar sua vingança.

Foco dos desejos

Com Marte na 8ª Casa, seus desejos geralmente estão ligados à busca de intimidade ou controle. Isso pode se manifestar como um desejo de intimidade sexual ou de poder. Para alguns indivíduos com Marte na 8ª Casa, esse desejo de poder pode ser expresso por meio do ocultismo. Para alguns, o desejo de intimidade pode se concentrar na experiência de intimidade máxima com a vida e a morte. É provável que seus desejos sejam privados e permaneçam privados. Você pode considerá-los íntimos demais para serem compartilhados, mesmo com as pessoas mais próximas - ou, certamente, apenas com as pessoas mais próximas a você.
