 The Rest of the Story
Generally speaking, natal planets do not express themselves by sign and house alone.

Consequently, if there are any natal aspects to your Mars, they will influence its expression
depending upon the nature of the other planet or planets involved and the type of aspect (e.g.,
flowing, challenging).

Similarly, transits to your natal Mars can temporarily enhance, stimulate or frustrate its energy
depending upon the type of aspect and the nature of the planet producing it. How long the transit’s
influence will last depends upon how quickly or slowly the transiting planet moves through the
heavens.
