For standard reporting purposes such as the comment section, use the points included in the test. For your own purposes, use anything you doggoned well please. Give yourself 10 points for that brother who??s a retired pro boxer and part time umpire for the little league, if you want. So here's the test:

____ Mars conjunct, square, trine, or opposite the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or Midheaven, 10 points each.

____ Mars conjunct, square, trine, or opposite other planets, 5 points each.

____ Mars in minor aspect (sextile, quincunx, etc.) to the Sun, Moon, or other planets, 2 points each.

____ Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Midheaven in Aries, 5 points each.

____ BONUS: Mars in Aries or the first, 5 points.

____ Other planets in Aries, 3 points each.

____ Sun or Moon in the 1st house, 2 points each.

____ Other 1st house planets, 1 point each.

Total all the chart features that apply.
A score of 0-10 points would be considered low, while 15-25 indicates a moderate influence.
More than 25? Strong.
40-59? Very strong indeed!
60 and beyond? Off the charts—how did you sit still long enough to take the test?

If you had a high score, you're an over-achiever in the matters of Mars: Mars??s sign is very important, but here are some of the traits you may share: boundless energy, drive, desire, competitiveness, fire in the belly, aggressively seeking a desired end, leadership, initivative, courage, sexually active, athletic, passionate, irritable, impatient, and rash.

One thing to know, however is this: A strong Mars isn't necessarily like a triple Aries on steroids. Each Mars sign has its own style of expression, and the house and aspects show where and how it is likely to make itself known. A strong Mars is the 12th house is still strong—it's just strong in a 12th house way.

What a low score says about you: If your score is down in the single digits, you may not be very assertive or quick to take the lead. On the other hand, you probably don't display the hot temper or rashness of the Martial type either.

the only mars part is that its opposite pluto and its in virgo but i do have mars in the 12 house so maybe my passiveness will boil up into something much later in life?
