Mars in a Fire Sign acts intuitively. Mars in a Water Sign acts on instinct, while Mars in an Earth Sign is practical and cautious. In Air, it manifests as a desire to work things out before doing anything. A plan for such people is vital. Whatever Mars touches it stirs up, which is why its transits can be so revitalizing.
