What would be the biggest indicators of courage and cowardice in a birth chart? The Mars-sun relations is my only guess...
Mars-Sun can be courageous, but can just as easily be foolhardy and careless. My ex-husband has the Sun-Mars conjunction - in Sagi in the 1st house. He was anything but courageous - a coward IMO, but I won't go into that - but he'd take unnecessary risks. This was when he was young. As a man now in his 60's he's far more cautious, but he's still not in any way courageous.
Mars trine Pluto grants courage in the native. I have known a few people with this placement and all have had to develop strength and courage early in life - often without the benefit of a lot of support from others.
Also Jupiter trine Pluto can be courageous and strong/reliable if they face the challenges their lives will bring them. Ultimately they have to learn to get off their high horse and live their lives at ground level, side to side with everyone else. The person with this aspect can become a courageous leader.
Hi, just wondering, would jupiter pluto conjunction be about courage as well?Mars-Sun can be courageous, but can just as easily be foolhardy and careless.

I don't have much fire in there so I assume I'm not really cut-out for being brave. :-/
Cool! So your (as I see in your chart) sag in jupiter adds a fiery influence on how well you get yourself 'out of a problem you created for yourself'? Considering I have Pisces does that mean I'd be more submissive to the problems I've created?
Saturn would be strong if conjunct one of the angles - and maybe in a sign more in tune with its characteristics of stability.I see! And when you guys talk about a "strong saturn" or a strong planet what does that mean? My saturn is in sagittarius, but from what I understand or am thinking is that sag is not ruled by saturn so it wouldn't be a "strong" saturn??
or maybe would a planet be strong if it was conjunct with other planets...?:]
If that was the case...the influence on one planet by a sign that is conjunct with other planets would make its influence on that planet stronger??
Girl, you speak GOOD English. Also, you look like Angelina Jolie.Interesting question essence, as I also wonder how many different configurations the elusive state of courage can encompass.
Yes! My ex had a 1st house aries stellium (sun, ascendant, venus, mars) all tightly conjunct and he would just jump straight into things with little to no provocation. Perpetually spoiling for a fight, he would seek them out in the most innocuous situations! Sometimes it was awesome though, because he could really fight HARD for the underdog, and was prepared to remedy injustices that others were too fearful to broach. I certainly do believe there is courage with sun/mars, but then it can also be so innate in these individuals that it responds entirely reflexively, with no forethought; i.e. foolhardiness.
As a somewhat impotent mars in pisces person myself, I am reminded of the phrase instilled by my mother from an early age, in her attempt to help me through my vast assemblage of neurotic phobias: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but going ahead in spite of the fear" - I believe this to be a truth that holds a fair bit of wisdom. Courage comes in many forms.
Do you think this only applies to the trine? None of the harsher aspects?
This would apply to mars trine jupiter too I imagine - I would love to have that aspect!
