Mars in your birth chart
Mars in Capricorn
Ambition that won't quit
Mars is exalted in Capricorn: here energy is disciplined, strategic and built for the long haul. You don't act on impulse but with a plan; you chase your goals with patience, ambition and an endurance that tires others before it tires you. You're effective, controlled, and your strength grows before an obstacle. Your anger is cold and contained, channelled into work and determination. Desire is subordinate to the goal. The challenge is not to turn so hard —on yourself and others— that life shrinks to duty: remember what you're climbing for, and make room for pleasure and rest without feeling you're wasting time.
The big goal, the challenge that demands discipline and grit.
Not shrinking life to duty; making room for pleasure.
