Mars in Aquarius in the Fourth House

The placement of Mars in Aquarius indicates a strong desire for change and, at a deeper level, for individuation. Your actions, therefore, tend to express your individuality. Change is, for the most part, a manifestation of your desire for freedom from the constraints of stability. With Mars in Aquarius, the change/freedom urge often manifests itself in you as your actions taking unconventional forms or otherwise contravening the staid and conventional. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Aquarius are a result of your need for individual freedom and, particularly, the need to act to distinguish yourself from the common mass.

The placement of Mars in Aquarius is generally conducive to the positive development of those functions associated with Mars. This is symbolized by the natural sextile between Aquarius and Mars-ruled Berbec. Aquarius is the Fixed Air sign. Like a wind (air irresistibly in motion), Aquarius symbolically sweeps the Mars functions along a path of constant change, thus always providing new opportunities for action to find expression. With Mars in Aquarius, Air provides freedom for the Mars functions to act in new ways, while the fixity of Aquarius provides the strength to act with effectiveness. The danger inherent in this placement, as in anything, is imbalance – getting carried away in a storm of change.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Aquarius, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Aquarius. You are likely to associate masculinity with individuality.  If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Aquarius-associated traits. This sometimes may result in your being attracted to someone who expresses himself unconventionally or with originality or who is an individualist.

Insecurități

As an individual with Mars in Aquarius, your being set apart by your desires and actions, is the overt reason for your insecurity, although the real underlying cause of your insecurity is your subconscious knowledge that your desires and actions are not the expressions of your real identity. Your insecurity about your identity may also lead you to feel a compulsion to assert your individual identity against the conventionality of the masses.  This may manifest as outrageously unconventional behavior or as insistence, through the expression of your will, that “I am right and I know best.”

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.

Insecurități

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.
