Mars represents aggressive and competitive instincts that enabled early humans to survive as hunter-gatherers. It is the source of dominance and assertion of self over others. While important for evolution and survival of the species, unchecked Mars can lead to selfish and harmful behavior by prioritizing action over reason. Mars creates disorder in the world that then induces Venus to restore order, establishing an endless cycle of dynamic change.

Mars is the fuel that operates the ego, as ruled by the Sun.
It represents the residual
traces of man's animal nature, which enables him to assert his aggressive nature and prey on those who are weaker. It is the dominant male characteristic, although it occurs in both sexes. Mars is the assertion of self rather than will and is constantly in search of challenging competitors. It is the force in nature that establishes the survival of the fittest and therefore directs evolution toward perfection, even though this is not intended. It indicates the desire nature so essential to the survival of the species. In the animal kingdom this role is extremely important. When this urge becomes distorted by self-seeking, it can seem coarse and vulgar. It is especially resistant to reason and logic, preferring to act first and think later, if at all. Mars, the divisive force, reduces harmony to conflict so that it can then proceed to restore unity. In this way it compensates for the indulgent apathy that limits development and growth. It brings about disorder, which induces its polar opposite, Venus, to restore order; thus an endless dynamic action-reaction is established.
