What it means

Your strength lasts a long time if the goal matters: the action is quiet but gets carried through. Competitors underestimate you — calm outside, everything decided inside. Crisis and pressure don't break you, they pull you together.

The flip side is that hurts aren't forgotten for years, and your attitude toward a person doesn't come back after betrayal. Your anger is cold and can wait for its hour.

This isn't about you if you let hurts go quickly and a month later don't remember the details.

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 Scorpio

    What should match. Recall three serious hurts. At least two are remembered in detail to this day, and your attitude toward the person was never the same afterward.

    When it’s not about you. Two out of three are forgotten and things with those people went back to normal — this isn't about you.
