Mars - Astrology and Planets in the Zodiac

The Planet Mars

Since the earliest times the color of The Planet Mars, The Red Planet, has brought with it associations and feelings of conflict and aggression. These feelings are often intensified by erratic motion of The Planet Mars across the Zodiac. Indeed the Mars we know is the Roman God of War with its symbols of the spear and the shield.
