What it feels like
There is a moment, just before acting, that most people spend weighing things up. You skip it. When something matters, your body is already moving toward it, and the thinking catches up on the way. This makes you wonderful in a crisis and slightly exhausting in a queue. Your courage is physical and immediate, the kind that volunteers before the question is even finished.
Anger, for you, is weather rather than climate. It arrives loud, says its piece, and leaves the sky clear, which can startle gentler people who expected a week of sulking. The growth here is learning that not every spark needs a bonfire. Some of your best wins come when you let the first impulse pass and choose the second one on purpose.
Courage that does not need a committee. You start the things other people only talk about.
Impatience. When the world moves slower than you do, frustration can come out sharper than you meant.
You pursue openly and like being pursued back with the same honesty. Mind games bore you within minutes.
Hand you a deadline, a rival or a blank page and you come alive. Long approval chains are your natural enemy.
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.
