Ascendant Opposite Mars

You seem to attract people who threaten you in some way as though you had a chip on your shoulder and dared anyone to try to knock it off. You do not really have that much self-confidence, and your aggressive actions are an attempt simply to convince yourself that you do. You need constant encounters to improve your skill in dealing with people who would otherwise take advantage of you.

Meeting others in competition is how you learn how to assert yourself constructively, with greater self-control and discipline. You are naturally argumentative and are not the easiest person to get along with. You must learn to be more compromising if you want peace and harmony. Making concessions shows strength of character, not weakness, and if you realize this, you will be respected for your maturity.

In personal relationships, your offensive tactics force you to raise your defenses when the going gets rough. While it is necessary to fight for your independence, you must show some restraint so you do not incur everyone''s displeasure. You want to be recognized for your ability to succeed in spite of challenging competition, but an attitude of superiority often masks feelings of inferiority or inadequacy.

You have a lot of creative energy you should express. Remember, it is what you do rather than what you say you can do that is important. Knowing that your future success and happiness depend on you alone, you must realize that you must make some contribution to ensure them. Take advantage of the worthwhile suggestions of your closest friends, and when their ideas help you be sure to show your appreciation.

You may have some difficulty in getting your superiors to give you a more important position because of your inclination to flare up under pressure. You tend to speak out of turn, which arouses suspicion that you cannot handle the authority delegated to you. Develop more self-control, or you will run into many troublesome situations that could be extremely difficult to resolve.

In love your physical energies may come and go, but when they are low, you can take much energy and inspiration from your partner. Indeed a partner can be very beneficial in a number of ways by sustaining and evening out your sexual expression so that it is regular and pleasurable without going to extremes. Also a lover tends to focus your efforts because you will feel more like doing things in a partnership.

Even if your lover is not particularly energetic, you have more energy simply because he or she is there. You may find that your lover is the initiator in love and in other activities, although not in an overly active or dominating way. Rather, your partner may stimulate you to expend much energy merely through small gestures or suggestions. Or your lover may be the main energy source in the relationship and regularly take the initiative.

In either case, your partner is probably the trigger for your actions, both in and out of bed. You should also try to conserve your energy. You are inclined to throw yourself into every activity, which may leave you too exhausted to enjoy the pleasures of the evening, which could be a great disappointment to both you and your partner.
