Mars in Capricorn

Mars in the cardinal, earth sign of Capricorn gives great energy channeled into professional ambition. The desire for recognition and high status is intense. You are commanding, magnetic, proud, earthy and well coordinated. A good organizer and reasoner, you want success and are willing to work for it. You take pride in doing a job correctly and have a corresponding disrespect for laziness and lack of ambition. Because you are so practical, you rarely operate on impulse; thus you can function well in business. Self-control and self-discipline are your keywords. Parents with this position of Mars want their children to amount to something. It is very disturbing to them if the children display bohemian tendencies and live a life of inactivity. This position often brings admiration rather than love from the opposite sex. There may be separation from a parent, usually the father and if Mars is afflicted, there is some danger of broken bones. Strong and persistent sexually, you must learn to develop humor, humility and warmth. Heavy affliction may manifest in a complete disrespect for the rights of others.
