Sun square Mars

The Sun square Mars aspect is widely associated with high energy, impatience, and a competitive nature. Many astrologers believe this aspect creates a push-and-pull between self-assertion and impulsiveness, making individuals prone to frustration, arguments, or acting before thinking. However, because squares demand growth, some suggest that this aspect can also foster determination and resilience when properly harnessed.
In a birth chart, this aspect is often linked to a strong will and a need to channel energy productively. Some believe these individuals are naturally ambitious and driven but may struggle with anger management or reckless decisions. Their greatest growth comes from learning self-control and constructive ways to express their power.
When the Sun and Mars form a square in the sky, it is thought to be a time of heightened motivation but also increased tension. Many astrologers suggest this is a great period for taking bold action, though some caution against unnecessary confrontations or acting out of frustration.
Sun is currently at 13° in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius and Mars is currently at 22° in the sign of Sagittarius.
