It seems like Mars is supposed to be seen as the planet of action and power in astrology but I think about how old astrology is, like really really old. As I have shared with a poster here, I am a big fan of Robert Greene's work, the most famous one being the 48 Laws Of Power.
Now it makes sense that Mars was originally domiciled in Aries and Scorpio.
During times when power meant physically destroying someone through battle, Aries was the sign to look to. Aries is the warrior sign and the sign meant to battle physically, which is why an Aries Mars is so common among MMA fighters. Aries is physical power, it is the classical warrior that battles through crowds and wins by his superior fighting skills.
Now I look at the more subtle Scorpio Mars which is stealthy, it cultivates fear in its opponents and hits them from the shadows. It preys on their psyche and makes them commit errors and it has the dirt on them.
Of the two, I'd say a Scorpio Mars is far better equipped to handle conflicts in the modern world that do not involve violence, things more along the lines of politics. In the modern day game of power which doesn't involve physical violence as much, I would say a Scorpio Mars is far superior to an Aries Mars.
An Aries is a baby, it has temper tantrums and makes a fool out of itself. A Scorpio is the cold and calculating type that picks out how it can get what it wants.
But is it the best?
I personally don't believe it is due to the changing times.
It seems like as soon as the age of communication and social media came about, it became less true.
The reason is that so much is out in the open these days that the second we find as a society someone is hiding something or there isn't as much dirt out there about them, we get cautious. It is like we want our leaders to be imperfect and have skeletons in their closet, if they don't, we start to wonder why they are being so secretive.
Then the meaning of power changed to someone who lives with the skeletons in their closet and defends themselves successfully while simultaneously destroying their opponents.
I'd say that the Air Signs do not get their respects at all in this case, it is actually long overdue. Whether it is the fact that Aquarius is the most common sign among American presidents or the fact that both John D Rockefeller and Genghis Khan had a Libra Mars, it makes sense.
Air signs are by nature diplomatic but diplomacy is power.
Then we look at the messenger sign of Gemini as well which I have found to be common among a lot of influential people I have met in real life.
It starts to make sense why the Air signs tend to geared towards power in the modern age of communication. They are adept at dealing with the dirt everyone has on them and brushing it off without any issues. Meanwhile, the opponent is still left drowning and unable to recover.
