Mars (Mangala)
Planetary number 3, fiery Mars gives us explosive energy and passion. It is a very straightforward planet, but in spite of its reputation as the planet of “manliness”, Mars has actually nothing to do with romantic relationships in a woman’s chart. (It is the placement of Jupiter that gives insight about the potential spouse and romantic interests.) It is important to understand that Mars is essentially a “soldier”, not a leader. From the condition of Mars we see where and how energy will be spent.
The Fire Signs of the Zodiac
The Fire Signs of the Zodiac represent Fire energies that are hot, individualistic, passionate and rather aggressive. The element of Fire is relatively easy to understand, its direction is upward going and straight. It is a Masculine energy, meaning that the energy is “outward bound” instead of receptive and inward bound as in the case of Feminine energies. The 3 Fire Signs of the Zodiac give us this warming and direct Fire Energy in 3 different modalities.
Cardinal Signs of the Zodiac
The word 'cardinal' comes from the Latin 'cardo', meaning hinge. When we use the word 'cardinal' in any context, we always refer to something fundamental, essential, without which things would not be possible. The root meaning of this word is actually pretty misleading when it comes to understanding the nature of Zodiac Signs we call "Cardinal". These Signs, and their respective energies are not more important or more fundamental, as far as the functioning of the Universe is concerned, than Mutable or Fixed signs.
