THIRD
HOUSE MARS
The
House of the Environment - The Field of Communications
Brothers,
sisters, relatives, and neighbors. Intellectual interests. Education.
Perception and speech. Books, magazines, and letters. Publications.
Short
journeys.
Very
often, this individual will have been keen to make good progress at school,
and will have enjoyed their school days, provided the instructors were
enthusiastic and encouraging. An interest in education may stay with the
individual, who will enjoy mental challenges.
Parents
of children with this placing must watch carefully for any aggressiveness
directed toward weaker classmates. This child can be extremely competitive,
especially in sport, and should be encouraged to participate in competitions
that will further progress in subjects that are enjoyed and in which talent is
shown.
An
argumentative tendency can be present, though discussions - often very heated
at times - will give much pleasure. If there is a burning cause or interest,
this person will do everything possible to communicate those opinions and
ideas in order to arouse the enthusiasm of others.
Inquisitiveness
is also common. One will be fired by a sense of urgency, with a need to know
the answers to questions at once, and likely a lack of patience when kept
waiting.
One
may have to struggle to obtain an education. Then, having stacked their mind
with practical information, they explore ways of translating thought into
action. The senses are keen, particularly with regard to discerning and
anticipating changes in the environment.
When
home conditions, family, or neighbors get on their nerves, they have little
hesitancy in remarking on their deficiencies, even if it sets off a dispute.
There may be rivalry with siblings and relatives, though there is also an
instinct to take a rather warrior-like stance in the protection of brothers
and sisters.
This
Mercury-tinged Mars confers executive prowess in matters pertaining to
literature and education. It provides the verbal tools to express opinions
cogently and to serve as an intellectual gadfly.
Advanced
driving training is advisable, as one may have a tendency to drive too fast,
irrespective of Mars' sign.
