Mars – Uranus Sextile – A Warrior on Icarus’s Wings

A sextile connects planets at an angle of 60 degrees, promising honors and rewards. Its special feature is that they come to those who are able to hold to the higher qualities of the planets involved in the tandem and actively demonstrate them in life. The rewards do not come in advance, but after the results have been achieved. However, a person with the Mars – Uranus sextile risks never waiting long enough for fame to arrive.

From childhood, the native imagines themselves as a superhero with superpowers and constantly tests this invulnerability through risky experiments: jumping from ramps, running across thin ice, or climbing rocks without safety equipment. Technical experiments with electronics are useful, but an impulsive person with the Mars – Uranus aspect rarely reads instructions, while being confident in their ability to repair things intuitively. The result may be burns and injuries. The inventor’s mind, passionate imagination, and heroic enthusiasm must be controlled by willpower and courage.

The Pros and Cons of the Mars – Uranus Sextile

The native is truly born to be a hero. Erudition and intellect reveal themselves most vividly in moments of danger. This person grabs the banner and leads the charge when the crowd has turned to flee. With a well-developed Mars, the native will strategically assess the situation in advance and choose a safe path to the top of the fortress.

An afflicted Uranus, unfortunately, gives contempt for an opponent’s threats and reckless bravado, which can lead to disaster. If the planets are harmonious, then it is precisely eccentric and impulsive actions that lead to success, money, and high position. By saving a drowning person, the native with the Mars – Uranus sextile may find a sponsor for their projects; by disarming a criminal, they may become a news star.

Estée Lauder, who broke a bottle of her perfume at a store entrance to attract customers’ attention, is a vivid example. A passion for battles and dreams of heroic deeds push the native into difficult situations and provoke the appearance of enemies. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the Mars – Uranus sextile will help the person stay on thin ice:

• optimism, creativity, inventiveness, diligence, hard work, impulsiveness, and practicality;
• willpower, decisiveness, enthusiasm, and the ability to ignite the flame of creativity and productivity in others;
• love of physical exertion and tests of endurance for both the body and technology;
• talent and interest in electronics, aviation, mechanical engineering, astronautics, Eastern martial arts, natural sciences, and surgery;
• brilliant achievements in activities that interest the native: the person rushes upward like a comet, seeing no obstacles;
• frankness, courage, rejection of old methods, and the invention of new, faster ways to achieve a goal;
• a passion for mysteries, astrology, occultism, and the possibilities of controlling consciousness and the power of thought.

A person with the Mars – Uranus sextile reveals themselves most brightly within a team, where they become the leader. The native does not tolerate nervous tension well, so in a subordinate position they may become irritable and sarcastic, especially during a deadline when results are urgently required. They take losses painfully but recover quickly. Fame and honors often come in early youth.

Love Relationships with the Mars – Uranus Sextile

Passionate and romantic, men and women with this aspect are equally impulsive in expressing feelings. They are not embarrassed by public displays, whether singing love serenades under a balcony or reading poetry from the stage while mentioning the partner’s name. Rushing to the top of a cliff to pick an edelweiss for the beloved, or proposing marriage three days after meeting, is nothing unusual.

In marriage, they are also romantic and love arranging pleasant surprises, although they may easily become absorbed in work and forget important dates such as birthdays or wedding anniversaries, except when Venus is in Virgo or Capricorn. Their home is always full of friends, noisy company, and fun.

The partner of a person with the Mars – Uranus sextile will have to share adventures, sports, and games of chance; otherwise, the native will find a more interesting companion. Unfortunately, the native’s fiery interest and passion weaken quickly if there is no shared ideology. They easily flare up with a new infatuation and just as decisively break with what was once a solid family union. Harmonious relationships require a sexually open-minded partner with a strongly expressed Uranus.

The Mars – Uranus Sextile in a Child’s Horoscope

Parents of a child with the Mars – Uranus sextile will not have an easy time. From an early age, the child sleeps little and actively explores the surrounding world. Electrical appliances should be kept out of reach, and outlets should be covered with safety plugs. If the planets are afflicted by negative aspects, it is better for the native not to walk outside during a thunderstorm, so as not to attract lightning. During walks, parents need to watch the child carefully.

The child is drawn to high slides and ravines, while a hot temper and the desire for first place encourage them to provoke fights with stronger rivals. Later, a desire for dangerous stunts may appear: parachute jumping, parkour, rooftopping, and urban exploration. A ban will create an even stronger desire, so it is better to find an experienced instructor or, from the beginning, involve the child in a sport they find interesting, so that uncontrolled experimentation does not tempt them.

At the same time, a child with the Mars – Uranus sextile is curious, artistic, quickly masters computers, and may become a successful blogger or programmer. The child shows an early interest in sexuality and intimate relationships with peers, and later may surprise relatives by voluntarily joining the army. Military service often brings success and teaches discipline to the unbalanced character of the Mars – Uranus sextile.  ✓
