Planets in signs and houses
Mars in Sagittarius
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
You act with enthusiasm and ideals. Your energy loves adventure, outdoor sport, long journeys and fighting for what you believe. You are frank and cheerful, but may be impatient with detail and speak so bluntly that people lose heart. Plan small steps for big missions and check that your goals match what you actually do. Your determination will then reach its destination.
Mars in a birth chart
Mars is the planet of energy and action. It describes how you assert yourself, go after what you want, compete, defend your boundaries and express anger. It is your drive, and it shows whether you tend to charge ahead, hold back or wait for the right moment.
Sagittarius at a glance
- Element
- Fire
- Modality
- Mutable
Sagittarius is mutable fire, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of growth and belief. With your Sun here you look toward the horizon: the next place, the bigger idea, the answer to why. You need room to roam, in geography, in thought or in belief, and you tend to feel cramped by small, fixed frames. Your outlook is hopeful, and your enthusiasm often arrives with a question about what it all means.
