Mars in Pisces

Mars in Pisces 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. Pisces is a mutable water sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 377 have Mars in Pisces for the whole of their birth date. Marilyn Monroe, Bob Dylan and Simone de Beauvoir are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Pisces (62), Aquarius (56) and Aries (52); every Sun sign appears with Mars in Pisces. 24 more were born on a day Mars moved into or out of Pisces and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Mars in Pisces means

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

You act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and your anger can turn into sadness before you have even named it as anger. You tend to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often you need to leave a tense room before you can work out what you feel.

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.
