Mars · Cardinal earth sign

Mars in Capricorn

Mars in Capricorn is where Mars sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for how you act, compete and get angry. Mars stays in a sign for six to seven weeks, up to seven months around a retrograde. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 443 have Mars in Capricorn for the whole of their birth date. Ronald Reagan, Shakira and Walt Disney are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Capricorn (63), Sagittarius (59) and Aquarius (52); every Sun sign appears with Mars in Capricorn. 23 more were born on a day Mars moved into or out of Capricorn and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Mars in Capricorn means

Read for how you act, compete and get angry. If this is your placement:

You act with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most people around you, and your anger is controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. You go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something you outwork rather than voice.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
