Mars in Capricorn in the Third 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 Овен.  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.

Insecurities

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 3rd House:

Mars in the 3rd House is compatible with its externally directed nature. The 3rd House is associated with early and simple contacts with your environment and with learning about that environment. The outward focus and explorative nature of the 3rd House allows the action principle of the Mars energy to freely assert itself within the limits of a realm with which you come directly in contact.

With Mars in the 3rd House, your desires are likely to be stimulated by your immediate environment. Your actions are likely to be focused on affecting your immediate environment. Much of this contact may involve interaction at the mental level, since the 3rd House is ruled by Mercury. Consequently, much of your energy and activity may be directed toward learning about the world or communicating within the immediate circle of your contacts.

Having Mars in the 3rd House, since so much of your activity involves interaction with the concrete world around you, if your Mars principal is functioning well, you are likely to develop much competency in dealing with the day-to-day aspects of life. Of course, if your Mars energy is dysfunctional, you are likely to find everyday life to be fraught with problems. With Mars in the 3rd House, you are also likely to be assertive in your daily life, especially when communicating with others.

Insecurities

As an individual with Mars in the 3rd House, insecurities in the Mars function stems from a feeling of weakness and inferiority which is the result of a distorted and overemphasized view of your ego’s role.  This may manifest as either timidity and incompetence or, due to overcompensation, as aggressiveness or overachievement. It will affect you at both the desire and action levels.

When focused in the 3rd House, the dysfunctional energy readily finds it  outlet in your interaction with the environment. At the desire level, you may be insufficiently motivated due to your belief that you cannot overcome a hostile environment. Or, you may have improper desires, which are either suppressed or which require you to act aggressively toward their fulfillment. At the activity level, with Mars in the 3rd House, you may feel thwarted in your actions by the environment or by your inability to take competent action with respect to it. Consequently, you may withdraw from active involvement in every-day life.

At the other extreme, having Mars in the 3rd House, you may be impelled to assert your will onto your immediate environment and act over-aggressively towards it. Whether this has good or bad effects on others and society depends on your отношения to your superego. Whether you act the hero or the villain, you will suffer distraction and imbalance in your inner life because of your absorption with affecting the world through your actions.

Focus of Desires

With Mars in the 3rd House, your desires will be associated with your immediate environment. The link between the senses and desire – which is their natural association – will be even more prevalent. Paradoxically, this link being so obvious enables you to more easily control the desire/sense complex, if you truly wish to do so.

Normally, however, as an individual with Mars in the 3rd House, your desires will arise from your experience. You may easily be susceptible to verbal suggestion. A yearning for immediate gratification of desire is also common with this placement. More positively, you may focus your desire on learning – acquiring knowledge about your environment. With Mars in the 3rd House, you are likely to have a desire to communicate, which will be positively expressed as long as you have something worthwhile to communicate. Otherwise, your communication is simply asserting your ego.
