What Mars in Pisces means for you

With Mars in Pisces, you go around obstacles instead of through them.

Your motivation comes from feelings, inspiration and compassion. When you believe in something, you can work for it without getting tired.

Direct confrontation feels harsh to you. So you may avoid it, or hide your anger until it shows as tiredness or giving up. You have the most drive for creative, spiritual and caring activities.

Your gentleness is a hidden strength. You can endure, forgive and continue long after others have given up.

Love

You approach love romantically and intuitively. You often sense what your partner wants before they say it. Your desire is tender and imaginative. You can sacrifice too much or follow a fantasy. Choose a partner who is kind and honest. Practise saying what you want out loud. Your needs deserve as much care as theirs.

Work & money

You do well in creative, healing and service work: music, film, art, therapy, nursing, charity work and spiritual practice. Meaning and empathy motivate you more than competition. Structure helps you use your drive well. Set small, concrete goals, and protect your time from people who would happily take all of it.
