Mars DC line
Also called the Mars Descendant line. On your Wanderlines map it's the Mars setting line.
Where every date feels like a dare, and some of them are
The Mars DC line follows the towns where Mars was going down in the west as you drew your first breath. On your relocated Descendant, the point where other people enter your chart, it tends to bring passion, rivalry and strong willed people to you through others, so the sparks arrive with company.

Living on your Mars DC line
Here Mars arrives in other people. The flatmate who argues about the thermostat. The barista who flirts like it is a competition. The guest at the party who disagrees with you so beautifully that you keep talking until the bar closes. Life gets louder through every door you open, and you may find yourself more alive and more annoyed than you have been in years.
Give it a few months and the line teaches you about your own fire by showing it back to you. Some people meet a partner here who wakes them up completely. Others find a business rival who pushes them further than any friend could. Negotiators and coaches can do well, because the arena is where this line feels most at home. The calmer you are inside, the more fun the sparring becomes.
Chemistry runs hot, fast and occasionally loud here. Look for someone who fights fair and makes up even better.
Clients, contracts and partnerships come with heat, so read every agreement twice and enjoy the bargaining. Tough negotiation can pay well here.
Your days fill with other people's opinions, and an evening alone becomes a luxury you schedule on purpose.
The harder side
It can feel as if everyone wants a fight, when the line is often showing you the anger you hand to others. Own your desires out loud, and the people around you tend to stop acting them out for you.
Visit or stay
Visits and short romantic seasons here can be thrilling. Debaters, rugby players and couples who flirt by bickering can happily stay for life.
Life has gone politely beige and you would like someone to argue with.
Challenge someone to something small and silly, cards or darts or a race to the corner, and lose gracefully if you lose. Mars on the Descendant loves a worthy opponent.
One line is one chapter. Your map holds the whole story.

Is the Mars DC line good?
It is a mixed blessing, and an honest one. Passion and motivation run high, and so does conflict, so it works best for people who enjoy a strong counterpart more than a peaceful one.
Should I live on my Mars DC line?
Visits and short romantic seasons here can be thrilling. Debaters, rugby players and couples who flirt by bickering can happily stay for life.
How close do I need to be to my Mars DC line?
Astrologers usually read a line as strongest within a few hundred kilometres, softening as you move away. A line through the ocean is felt most on the nearest coasts.
Do I need my exact birth time?
Yes. The Earth turns a little every minute, so a time a few minutes out moves every line east or west. Use the most exact time you can find, ideally from a birth certificate.
