What it means

A decision turns into action the same day; rivalry fires you up, and an obstacle makes you want to take it by storm. Anger flares quickly, is said straight out — and passes just as quickly. You like to start, to get ahead, to take risks.

The flip side is impatience: long tasks get dropped halfway, and a sharp word flies out before you've thought. Waiting and getting approvals wear you out more than hard work.

This isn't about you if your anger builds for days and you start a task only after long preparation.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If your Mars is in Aries

    What should match. Recall your last three conflicts. In at least two, your answer came right away, in the same conversation, and an hour later no anger was left.

    When it’s not about you. In two out of three your anger builds for days and the answer comes later — this isn't about you.
