Mars Square or Opposite Sun
© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Mars square or opposite your natal Sun. This is usually either a time of triumph, or frustration, irritability and defeat. Contests and tests of strength are common. If you are not normally goal oriented, then this is likely to be a time when you feel unusually irritable and restless. Subconsciously you feel like you should be doing something but you just don't know what. Often the result is conflicts of ego, arguments and rash impulses and behavior. This is a time when you must become more aware of your actions and how they affect others.

If the Sun is lord of your first house, you will probably feel quite belligerent and domineering. Be careful about unilateral decisions as consideration of others may be lacking. If you born during the day, watch out for cuts and burns. Others may complain that you aren't a team player.
If lord of the 2nd, watch a tendency towards waste or excessive spending, especially if you were born during the day. Be careful about investments. Breaking of personal items is more likely.
If lord of the 3rd, you may have to deal with pushy relatives, neighbors or inlaws. Communication becomes more direct and blunt. Be careful of offending others with coarse language.
If lord of the 4th, you may have to make an important decision regarding your personal life. It might involve your father or an estate or a landlord. Relationship with your father may be strained.
If lord of the 5th, it is a time of contests and tests of strength, for expressing willpower and determination. Fair play is lacking. Competition is fierce.
