From what I can tell, I am passive. I let the other set dates and initiate.
My last partner has his Mars in 7H too. He was the one who took the initiative and while doing so, we were waiting on each other for a date. It didn't flow smoothly - there were speed bumps. We were both wondering if we liked each other. But once we found out - it was lightning fast he couldn't take things slow. He freaked out - bc I told him to take things slow and enjoy the romance/flow (Mars 6H + Neptune7H 6º? Maybe)

On the surface, I look self-oriented but I keep myself busy until someone invites me. It's the same in friendships. But it's also the fear someone might not like doing the things I like. (I guess that's Mars - we like to do the things we like but I am down to do what they like if they bring it up, but I must like that person). At least try doing it once. But if it's something that overkills, overtime I'll eventually stop going and do my own thing - until they plan something different. Bc it gets boring if it's the same. Same place, same food, same conversation, same people, same day! This in fact happened. Maybe that's the Uranus wanting to break free?

I see the passionate part in this placement - in general. My friend has it and she's a passionate person similar to me except people think I come off intense. It can be mistaken as anger for some. "Chill" - what? am I not? Oh. I thought you were mad. -_- OK! It's different from rage or defensiveness. And all of us can be passionate in the bed.

I've dated someone with Mars in 7H Taurus and it was quite... different. the above were Aries while mines in Sag. He can be impulsive/passionate but slow at the same time. He didn't like to rush but also doesn't want to wait longer when we first start out. But he is so initiative in courting. I love that.

Like, I can relate to how you can't get away with debating, without people thinking that you're fighting, and you hate them. It doesn't matter how much they whack you with arguments, they aren't seen - or don't feel as though as - they're stubborn, and can't see your point of view. But you (an Aries), think you're always right (I don't), can't put yourself in another's shoes (I can, and have, a lot). I'm a hell of a lot more understanding than given credit for, in recent years, and I'll edit out most of this, because it belongs in a different thread, and I'm not up for a real talk tonight. But you get the idea.

Yes. I get you.

Yesterday I had a call with a Leo Asc/ Sun in Gemini and Moon in Aqua. I found myself getting a little annoyed when I was repeating and re-explaining myself in the call.

He would say something or ask a question that I had already answered.I thought him a selective listener.And the tendency he had of taking the conversation, turning it to be about himself than asking questions that put him at the centre🤷🏿‍♂️. It really got to me more yesterday than it would have on any other day.

But then I also took into mind that I had Mars parallel my natal Mars in Lib. So I was very defensive

Any time he would disagree with me, I would impress upon him my view. I was not interested in his. I couldn't see. Did not want to see it. Mars can definitely have one think that they are RIGHT☝🏿

I have been having an online conversation with someone who has Mars in 1st house of Leo. He gets triggered pretty quickly and easily.

It is the same guy that I was speaking of earlier.The Gemini with selective listening.🤦🏿‍♂️

I didn't put the two together I.e. he is what I attract(7th house of relating). And his Mars is in the 1st house of self. So once again, I am attracting someone martial (Mars in my 7th)

I also noticed that it wasn't I who made the 1st move to establish contact. He did. That is another thing I have noted about Mars in 7th I.e. they don't make the 1st move. They "respond". This to align to the similar style of Mars in Libra(which is my placement too).

So the partner (7th) or the one being attracted, is the one who initiates. I have never DM'ed anyone. Not unless I am responding to a message they sent 1st☝🏿.

Could Mars in 7th also be indicative of an assertive (Mars) response (7th)? Or (as is said nowadays) a "clap back"? Coz most people get surprised at how assertive my response can be when engaged in a discussion.🤔

There is a brilliant YouTube Astrologer online who goes by the name of Vic DiCara.I was listening to him some time ago. He mentioned that if Asc is the Sun "rising" in the east. Then the Sun "setting" in the west is Dsc.

So Dsc( representing sunset)would be "knock off" time for labourers. Time for them to go back to their families etc.

Hm, I am not sure that it is the partner of the person with the 7th house Mars that initiates. At least from my experience… even with Mars in Pisces and being a woman, I still initiate things and pursue when I feel like it. Certainly not waiting passively like some other women do :/

I think it can go both ways.Sometimes the Mars in 7th initiates.Sometimes the partner initiates.

I have noticed however (atleast in my case) that Mars in 7th tends to go against the grain. In partnerships,I tend to play the devil's advocate or argue an opposing point from what others agree on.

I also find it difficult to maintain membership into a group/click or posse. And that's because I can only stand being with people for so long before I want to go on my way.

I think Mars in 7th is anti(Mars) social (7th) or anti (Mars) the collective (7th). As such,it can also be "anti"(Mars) establishment (7th house of what is agreed upon to be preserved by others).

The above sound very radical. But not necessarily always so. It just means that the individual tends to gravitate towards being a status changer or record breaker. If the status quo exists,Mars in 7th will break it(whether knowingly or not)

This may be like behaving badly(Mars) at a dinner party(7th). Filing (Mars) for a divorce (7th house status of marriage) from a partner. Leaving (Mars) the party (7th) early. Or staging a march/protest (Mars) against city officials (7th house of the status quo of Law & Order ) etc.

In a right field group chat,you can count on Mars in 7th to say/do something "left field". Something that's disruptive or upsetting the accepted norm of that group.

I sometimes see this manifest as someone who competes with others(whether conscious or not) and wants to come out with "the best" performance in a group. Or conversely "the worst". The latter is also a status change.☝🏿

Clearing the air

Valid during several weeks: During this time there is tension in your life, but it can be used creatively if you are conscious of what you are doing. If you are not, this influence can signify a time of conflicts, especially with those closest to you, such as your partner and others whom you must cooperate with. Even your intimate, positive relationships may suffer at this time. The problem is that you will find it difficult to give in and compromise as necessary to proper cooperation. In any close relationship, there is often too much compromise, so that the real complaints and grievances are not aired, which in the long run tends to weaken even a fine relationship. Now is the time when these repressed grievances can be brought out into the open, which should result in a real clearing of the air between you.

And here is the love horoscope:

Say yes!

Valid during several weeks: You can now count on meeting more people than usual. However, don't be surprised when others offend you or act aggressively. You may feel that the world is full of egoists. If this is the case, try taking a look at your own behaviour. Could it be that you sometimes play a little part in provoking such rude reactions? Perhaps you're too gentle and good-natured, or might you be too demanding? Talking to someone about your situation could help to clarify things and help you change your behaviour.

That resonates with me very much! But I never associated that with Mars in 7th. I have Desc and multiple planets in Aquarius, and a prominent Uranus, so I get bored quickly. It’s hard to tell, maybe Mars in 7th contributes in a sense that it gives that impetus to venture off on your own, like you said. Interesting fact, every significant boyfriend I had ran his own business and worked alone!

What is said above aligns very much to what has been covered thus far about Mars in 7th by other contributors. It also complements what I have always thought it is. It's put so eloquently there though. Very easy read 👌🏿. Are you Aries Asc? I use whole sign house astrology.

I would also add that (perhaps more poignantly) this transit will affect those who have Mars interacting with the ruler of their 7th house.

The direct hit to that planet tends to have a more intense effect.I expect things to really hit the fan when transiting Mars conjuncts natal Mars in 7th by opposition.

Mars rules my natal 8th. 8th for me is severance or separation. 8th supports individuality and is antithetical to the 7th of partnerships. Hence why Mars in 7th is automatically challenging. It is (by nature) very anti what the 7th house is about.

I always see the Venus/Mars connection as relationship (Ven) conflict (Mars) or tension. It could also just be a busy and vigorous period at work.

It's been quite a busy month that's been filled with activities since Mars started its transits in the Libra.

Much (in the way of the social life) has picked up. And this kinda makes sense because the 7th is about social contacts too.

There has been no confrontational situation thus far. Nothing (atleast) that stands out in memory as something noteworthy.

Today trans Mars is arcing to square natal Mercury , Moon and conjunct my natal Mars.

My 8th is Gemini. That whole transit featured a lot of death. I’m feeling a bit lighter and clearer than I was, but still anxious a lot. I’m still trying to really ground myself. I’ve dealt with some strangeness, but nothing I can’t handle. I shouldn’t have to, though.

How long will Mars be in Taurus 2023?
The retrogression will take a somewhat nasty turn when Mars will 'fall' back into Taurus on 13 November ushering us and the world into chaos and multiple changes till mid-January 2023, at least, and lasting till 13 March 2023 - when Mars will move back into Gemini, bringing gains, growth and progress that it promised ...

---

Gains, growth, and promise. Lol. It didn’t bring any of that. My cat died, and when I was still trying to get my head together from that and other things, my Gemini friend died suddenly.

Another quote from google:

quote:

---

Mars, the planet of action is presently transiting in Taurus since 10th August 2022 and will move to Gemini on 16th October and then will become retrograde on 30th October; it'll fall back in Taurus on 13th November 2022 and will become direct on 13th January 2023

I was still recovering from Covid, when it entered Taurus, last summer.

The only thing I remember from October, was getting two library books at the beginning of the month, and then getting food poisoning.
