He is forced to act by other planets: goal - Jupiter, duty - Saturn, desire - Venus, idea - Mercury, impulse - the Sun, or instinctive reaction - the Moon. Venus and Mercury represent the inner character traits of a person. The type of thinking and emotions depends on the qualities of these planets. Mars represents the external manifestations of man, and therefore depends on the Sun, Venus and Jupiter. Venus and Mars – woman and man, and Knight. Mars needs Venus to motivate him to action. When feelings are hurt, he springs into action, and only then the strong Mars fights for what he has with all his might, protects what is dear to him, without hesitation. When analyzing the type of will of a person, one must look at which planets Mars is connected with by aspects or dispositions, which prompts him to action: with Jupiter - the thirst for honors, with Saturn - a sense of duty, with Venus - love.

Here Mars is a leader, a loner who does not take into account the will of those around him. But for Mars, leadership is not an end in itself; he is a leader because he acts when others still hesitate, and often acts ahead. Strong Mars becomes the center of the group, setting the momentum. Fire uses the energy of the initial impulse, as much as there is, it will splash out at the end of it, until the energy of the impulse is exhausted, Mars will work, then it needs to take a break and gain energy. Therefore, it works jerkily and strongly: it turns on quickly, but quickly runs out of steam.
