Mars – Ascendant Trine – The Sporting Drive of a Winner

The trine gives luck that accompanies a person throughout life. This works when the native has an active social position that allows them to develop the talents indicated by the astrological factors involved in the aspect. When the Ascendant is involved, the abilities connected with the zodiac sign and ruler of the First House need to be worked through, but the key direction is set by the planet forming the trine. If this is Mars, the native is endowed beyond measure with physical strength, endurance, willpower, and a drive for victory.

Decisiveness and directness here do not irritate others, but inspire trust and the desire to follow a bold and vivid leader. Ambition and responsibility for those who depend on them make a man an unquestionable leader of social groups, but they complicate life for a woman, who will not be satisfied with the domestic hearth and will instead rush into battle or build a career at the expense of family life.

Opportunities of the Mars – Ascendant Trine

Life appears as an exciting adventure, and the native moves toward victory with the contagious enthusiasm of an athlete who sets the goal of conquering one peak after another. Especially restless are those who have Mars and the rising sign in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. They will never sit quietly at home, preferring to devote themselves to high social goals. There is no aggression or imposition of personal opinion at any cost here, but a person with the Mars – Ascendant trine will not retreat from their plans either; they will simply approach from another flank.

These are excellent leaders of political and military structures, entrepreneurs, athletes, reformers, and bankers. In men, this is the aspect of a sex symbol with the charisma of a rugged superhero, while in women it manifests as the cool charm of a commanding businesswoman, although conventionally feminine charm may be difficult for them to express. A person under the patronage of this trine works equally effectively alone or in a team. The native does not need other people’s approval, but storms the heights with doubled enthusiasm under admiring gazes. This aspect gives enormous power of influence over society, but the native must know how to manage it. For this reason, it is important to understand all the ways this influence may affect life:

• initiative, straightforwardness, uncompromising behavior with people, inventiveness, and activity;
• bright charisma, provocative sexuality, a masculine type of behavior in women, and emphasized independence from public opinion in men;
• speed of thought and reaction, fearless and effective behavior in stressful situations, especially if there is a positive connection with Pluto or the Eighth House;
• the ability to recover quickly after defeats and psychological shocks;
• the ability to earn money easily, gradually creating capital from any opportunity that appears.

A person with this trine prefers to live in the present, and their strategies for achieving success are short – term. Therefore, when the native cannot quickly rise to the desired peak, they may become overly aggressive and pushy, which creates problems with others, especially with superiors.

Love and Marriage with the Mars – Ascendant Trine

A native with this aspect needs bright and spectacular sex more than most people. For the person, it is not only intimacy with a loved one, but also a release of negative tension, a mental reset, and simply an almost instinctive need for release. Therefore, they may lead an active sexual life even without being in love with their partners, and may propose intimacy on the first meeting if they have unsatisfied desires.

The native will remain faithful only in a long, warm, and trusting family union, because they do not dramatize physical fidelity. For them, sex is similar to sport, without a romantic background. At the same time, they are truly incredibly attractive to the opposite sex, even if they are not naturally beautiful or handsome. Their inner fire of passion and overflowing energy attract the most interesting and promising partners to them.

Examples of people with the Mars – Ascendant trine include Brigitte Bardot, Jack Nicholson, Pamela Anderson, Whoopi Goldberg, and Christopher Reeve.

Partners with Mars and Venus in Fire and Air signs are suitable as life companions.

Practical Interaction with the Mars – Ascendant Trine

It is important for the native to avoid the temptation to do everything alone, always and everywhere. After the age of thirty, the potential of strength gradually begins to decline, and by this time it would be good to learn to delegate boring and tedious tasks to assistants, while personally focusing on interesting matters that warm the fire of inspiration, without forgetting interests and hobbies.

The competitive excitement of a person with the Mars – Ascendant trine is closely connected with the accumulation of energy, so activities involving competition are suitable for the native: business, politics, cinema, and theater. To release excess nervous energy, active sports are suitable: water skiing, downhill skiing, boxing, karate, football, volleyball, fencing, or simply fitness with cardio workouts. Gardening and wood carving are useful for harmonizing the inner state.

The native’s color of luck is red. This is worth keeping in mind when going to important business meetings or on a date. Protection from enemies and fortunate meetings with partners who are suitable in every respect will also be provided by jewelry with garnet, coral, ruby, spinel, and hematite. It is best to set them in a simple metal: iron or nickel silver.  ✓
