Mars in Capricorn is a great placement in astrology, as Mars is exalted in this sign, so the planet tends to do well here. This is the best sign placement for Mars in a chart.
Pride, Passion and Arrogance
Capricorn is the natural 10th house, of career, karma and our public image or contribution to the world. So naturally, Mars in Capricorn makes the career and public life of a native very important. These natives are very dedicated to their work, whichever it is. They will also place much importance on making an impact in society, being noticed, not in a flashy way necessarily. But by doing something that, in their view, improves or fixes imbalances in the world.
Independence and Risk
Mars in Capricorn tends to make the native take risks on professional and public spheres. Making big moves, taking strong stances and defending their career with tooth and nails comes into play with this placement.
With Mars in Capricorn, the career becomes very energized and important, as well as an area where the native is very willing to make sacrifices.
When afflicted, this Mars can easily show dishonest behavior or going over others to get what you want. It must be noted that this is not usually the case.
Tools and Weapons
The main weapon of Mars in Capricorn is sheer diligence and capacity to do what is needed, or asked of them. Following rules, going through the appropriate process, doing the work, grinding all the annoying grinds one by one. This is Mars in Capricorn.
Whenever they have a problem, they will seek to know what is “the correct way” to deal with it. Even if it isn’t the best way, they will do it. They have a preference for going through the motions, doing things right, and just putting in the work.
This placement is frequently found on people in the military, or anyone in tightly controlled institutions, as the knack for following rules and advancing is a key Mars in Capricorn trait. What this placement lacks in daring behavior, they compensate trifold in the capacity to work and make needed efforts.
Their calm and contented behavior tends to favor strategy and planning. They are great planners, as well as executers, so their lives will usually be tightly controlled. They act in decisive, authoritatively and carefully controlled ways
Anger and Aggression
As career and public contributions are very important, the lack of both things really riles up Mars in Capricorn. Having their efforts blocked can be an example of that, but usually they just rise above and work harder. What really riles up this Mars is seeing a lack of ambition and drive in others.
Seeing people who don’t care that much about career, reputation and their impact in the world. Seeing people who are not willing to go through the motions and work hard. Those are things that anger this Mars.
Their anger is usually reserved, contained and well directed. They will act or attack only if necessary, and only until the necessary point. This is not the Mars of killing someone and shooting the dead body multiple times afterwards. This is the Mars of contained aggression. They will attack only enough to stop a threat, not a step further.
Sex and Men
Mars in Capricorn promotes a healthy sexuality. As most earth signs, these natives will have a fair share of lust, but Capricorn will tend to act on this is a controlled and contented manner. Excesses are usually not promoted by this placement.
For a man with this placement, the behavior will always have a serious demeanor to it. At times, you might appear older than you actually are.
If you have Mars in Capricorn, you tend to be attracted to men that are: serious, respectable, older, focused on their careers. Businessmen, those in the military or other big institutions.
