About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package.

About the 5th house

The 5th house is joy on purpose: flirting, playing, making things and doing what you love just because. It also covers children and anything you bring to life with your heart.

Mars in the 5th, sign by sign

The sign Mars was in changes the style. Find yours.

Aries →Making the first move is your style, and new passions arrive overnight, though boredom sets in the moment the thrill of the chase fades. Taurus →Flirting is slow and physical for you, long dinners beat grand gestures, and you bring serious stamina to hobbies you can touch, like pottery or baking. Gemini →Witty banter is your idea of foreplay, and you chase several creative hobbies at once, losing interest the moment the conversation goes quiet. Cancer →Love gets pursued through care, cooking and remembering every detail, and creative energy flows best into anything nostalgic or personal. Leo →Romance is your arena: grand gestures, wholehearted creative work, and playing with children as if it were a competitive sport. Virgo →Being useful is how you romance people, and creative projects get refined so endlessly that the fun sometimes gets edited out. Libra →Elegant flirting is your speciality, and your creative energy goes into anything that makes the world prettier. Scorpio →All-or-nothing intensity marks your love life, and creative work tends to go dark, deep and emotionally brave. Sagittarius →Love feels like an adventure to you, so you fall for people who make you laugh and throw yourself into hobbies with a bit of risk. Capricorn →Romance is approached with intention, and creative projects get treated so seriously that you can forget they were meant to be fun. Aquarius →Friends-first attraction suits you, and your creative energy pours into anything experimental, offbeat or slightly baffling to your parents. Pisces →Falling for people's potential is your romantic habit, and creative work flows best through music, art or performance.
