What your Mars sign means
If Venus shows what you are drawn to, Mars shows how you pursue it. Your Mars sign describes your energy and tempo, how you handle conflict, what motivates you to start something and keep going, and how you assert yourself. In relationships it shows the way you desire and the way you fight.
Mars spends about six to seven weeks in each sign, but every two years it turns retrograde and can stay in one sign for several months. That is why people born months apart can share a Mars sign.
Venus and Mars together
Read your Mars next to your Venus sign: one is how you attract and value, the other how you act and pursue. When the two are in harmonious signs, wanting and doing usually line up. When they are in very different signs, it can feel like being pulled two ways — which is often where your most interesting relationships come from.
Do I need my birth time?
Usually not. Mars moves slowly enough that your birth date is almost always enough. A birth time only matters if Mars changed sign that day, and it is needed to see which house Mars is in.
