Okay, so I’ve been messing around with my birth chart again, specifically looking at Mars in the Seventh House. I’ve heard a lot of stuff about this placement, some good, some… not so good. So I decided to really dig in and see what’s what, and track my own experiences.
Getting Started
First, I pulled up my chart on this free website. I already knew I had Mars in the Seventh, but I wanted a nice, clean visual. I entered my birth date, time, and place – boom, there it was. Mars, sitting pretty right in that Seventh House section.
The Research Rabbit Hole
Next, I started Googling. You know, the usual – “Mars in Seventh House meaning,” “Seventh House astrology,” that kind of thing. I found a bunch of articles and forum posts. Some talked about passionate relationships, others about conflict and competition with partners. It was a mixed bag, honestly.
My Own Experience
So, I decided to track my own interactions. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down notes. Specifically, I focused on my close relationships – my partner, my best friend, even some close work colleagues.
- Day 1: Had a surprisingly smooth conversation with my partner about chores. Usually, this is a battleground. Noted that!
- Day 3: Got into a silly argument with my best friend over something stupid. We made up quickly, but I definitely felt that fiery Mars energy.
- Day 5: Collaborated on a project at work. Felt a strong urge to take the lead, but consciously tried to be more collaborative. It actually went really well.
- Day 7: Dinner date. Focused to communicate my needs.
Putting It Together
After a week or so, I looked back at my notes. What I saw was a pattern. The Mars energy was definitely there, but it wasn’t all bad. It showed up as passion and drive, but also as a tendency to be a bit… bossy. It will take a more conscious effort.
My takeaway? This Mars placement isn’t a curse or a superpower. It’s just… energy. It’s how I use that energy that matters. I do be more aware of my interactions, I do more to channel that Martian fire in a positive way. Still a work in progress, but hey, that’s astrology, right?
