Composite

Mars in the 1st House (Composite)

In the composite chart, Mars falls in the 1st house, so the relationship's drive, energy, and capacity for both action and conflict is focused on how the relationship presents itself to the world, its shared image, appearance, and vitality. The composite chart portrays the relationship as its own entity, and Mars shows where the bond puts its energy, pursues what it wants, and where it is most likely to clash. Here, the relationship is most active and most combustible through this area of shared life. The gift is real drive and the will to act together in identity and self-presentation; the work is meeting it consciously, since this is where the relationship most lives out its drive, energy, and friction.

Lean inAim the relationship's shared energy at identity and self-presentation as a team.

Watch forLet identity and self-presentation become the arena where the two of you fight.
