What it feels like

Rules that make no sense are an invitation to you. Ideas, causes and the future are what motivate you, and you will work tirelessly for something that helps the group or shakes up the system. Being told what to do brings out your contrary streak almost instantly. Your bravery is the courage to be different in public, which is rarer than it sounds.

Detachment is how your temper usually shows itself. When something upsets you, you may step back, analyse it and go cool, which can look like indifference to people who wanted a fiery reaction. Inside, though, you care a great deal. Letting someone see the feeling behind the reasoning builds the trust your ideas need to travel.

Your gift

Originality. You find new ways forward that nobody else has tried.

Your growing edge

Stubborn independence, refusing help or advice simply because it was offered.

In love

Friendship comes first for you, and desire grows strongest with someone who respects your freedom.

In your work

Technology, activism, science, community work and anything inventive suits you.

How Mars works

Mars shows how you go after what you want, how your anger moves and where your courage lives. Its sign describes the style of that drive, from charging straight in to simmering patiently for months. Think of it as your engine and your fire, with the sign telling you what fuels it.
