What Your Mars Sign Says About Your Sex Drive
Jan
You know your Sun sign, but do you know your Mars sign? Mars is considered a personal planet, which means its energy is prominent in your outward personality. In ancient mythology, Mars was the god of war, and in astrology, the planet represents our drive (yes, including our sex drive), ambition, passion, and energy.
Your Mars sign might not match your Sun sign, BTW (although it is possible). Your Sun sign = which part of the zodiac the Sun was in when you were born, and your Mars sign = which part of the zodiac Mars was in when you were born. Got it?
Mars is the ruling planet of the emotionally deep sign of Scorpio and the fiery leader of the zodiac, Aries. It’s at home (or in astro-speak, “in its domicile“) when it’s in these two signs, meaning it’s able to fully express itself with ease. It is also in what astrologers call its “exalted” position (meaning its expression is particularly strong) in the structured and powerful sign of Capricorn.

Mars is one of the faster-moving planets, and it can spend from two to seven months in one sign, depending on when and how often it retrogrades. Mars takes around two years to move through the entire zodiac. Roughly two years is also how often you experience a Mars Return, when Mars returns back to where it was when you were born. A Mars Return chart can give you insight into what will drive you and where you will be taking action.
Understanding your Mars placement can give you insight into how you operate and what you need to feel motivated…or aroused *wiggles eyebrows*. This knowledge can help boost your energy and make life easier to navigate. To find out your Mars sign, use this free birth chart calculator. (And FYI: if your Mars sign is Taurus, you’re experiencing a Mars Return right now.)
Found your Mars sign? Here’s what it means:
Mars in Aries
Mars is in its fiery prime in Aries. You have no problems feeling energized and motivated. You go after what you want with passion and vigor. Working out is second nature to you, and you have a lot of stamina in the bedroom.
Mars in Taurus
The planet of action is in what is called its detriment in the sign of Taurus, because Taurus is the opposite sign of Scorpio (which Mars rules). Don’t panic! This just means that you take action in a less intense and more harmonious way. Typically, you are not aggressive in your goals and prefer to enjoy the finer things in life.
Mars in Gemini
This is the most chatty out of all of the Mars signs. Gemini is the sign ruling communication, logic, discussion, so talking out your actions is the best way for you to get organized. You also tend to be more social, preferring variety in the people you connect with.
Mars in Cancer
Cancer is what is called Mars’ fall position, because it’s the opposite sign of Sagittarius, in which Mars is exalted. Don’t worry—that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Mars is not assertive here, and this can soften the intense energy of the planet. You are the type to think about others’ feelings before pressing forward. You need time to work through your emotions, and setting firm boundaries with others can help you lead a more productive life.
Mars in Leo
You are the star of the Mars show (of course), because you thrive off of having fun and entertaining others. You’re driven by self-expression and you can easily tap into your inner child—you don’t take yourself too seriously. People with this Mars sign tend to have confidence and charisma that can charm anyone.
Mars in Virgo
This Mars sign is all about attention to detail. Virgo is a mutable earth sign that strives for perfection in all they do. You act steadily and with accuracy, taking a practical approach and rationalizing your next move. You want to be good at everything, including in the bedroom.
Mars in Libra
Mars in Libra is in its detriment, meaning it’s outside its comfort zone (because it’s the opposite sign of Mars’ rulership, Aries). Again, this isn’t a bad thing! Mars in Libra shows a more aesthetic-loving and balanced side of the fiery planet. You tend to enjoy keeping the peace and harmony around you, before taking action. When it comes to love, you prefer potential partners that look good on your arm.
Mars in Scorpio
Getting aroused is no problem for you, especially since Scorpio rules sex and Mars is at home in this sign. This is Mars placement moves forward with intuition, tact, and strategy. Scorpio is a fixed sign, and people with Mars in Scorpio have a staying power: Once you decide to do something, you go all the way. Skimming over the surface is not for you—there is always the drive to go deeper.
Mars in Sagittarius
This is the most optimistic Mars position! People with Mars in Sagittarius have a passion for making the most out of life. This is the type of Mars energy that wants to travel the world and pick up bits of wisdom along the way. You tend to have many big ideas, that you tend to forget about the details at times. This Mars sign is also turned on intellect.
Mars in Capricorn
You are strategic, diligent, structured and have the ability to lead with stability. In Capricorn, Mars is in its exalted position. Capricorn energy gives you a need to be in control and not express passion as visibly. For you, slow and steady wins the race. But behind your poker face, you have the drive and patience to succeed in the long run.
Mars in Aquarius
This is the quirkiest Mars sign out of the bunch. Mars in Aquarius does not conform to societal norms. People with this Mars sign throw the expectations of others out the window before they take action. You probably seek ways to help others through humanitarian actions. This offbeat Aquarius energy also applies to your sexuality. The more experimental, the better!
Mars in Pisces
People with Mars in Pisces tend to use their emotions to make their next decision. You are not an aggressive Mars sign, as you prefer to go with the flow and see where your inspiration takes you. You definitely need a creative outlet. You also find pleasure in the fantasy and escape of sex.
