Sports, stamina and your sign

I've been thinking a lot lately about the way our unique astrological energies play into our ability to compete or push ourselves in certain sports related activites. I know a lot of saggs (or sag heavy people) who naturally excel at running/sports (more like raw talent) and just as many scorpios that are long distance runners (in what seems like sheer will). Are you into extreme sports? A long distance runner? If so what pushes you towards the finish line?

Speaking for myself, I have a packed 1st house (all sag) and I think that running comes naturally to me. I don't feel like I have to struggle like some other people to be fast, etc. Obviously, there is a host of other biological elements that take place allowing someone to be a good runner. But then there's a huge mental aspect to it. Sometimes, compared to my friends I feel I lack that sheer mental ability to push myself (in running/ sports). My comfort loving cancer mars wants to be a little baby and slowwwww downnn. Lol. I think in many ways mars also plays a huge role.....What are your thoughts?

I hate exercise😛 Unless it's from an activity I enjoy like cycling and swimming.

Gem Mars.

Well kid you might be on to something. I do like to test myself a push it over the limit most of the time.

Scorp sun/aries moon. My mars (cancer) trines my pluto (scorp). It's an aspect beneficial for athletes and the strongest aspect in my chart. While some may think that cancer mars is weak, mine is a singleton. On top of this, my chart is a bucket chart with mars being the handle. All of my energies are channeled into this single point and reflect my resolute firmness of purpose towards a particular goal.

I played football for a prestigious high school with the most state championships in our state. While I was there we won 3 out of 4 years. I also wrestled my junior and senior year making varsity the first month with no prior experience in a wrestling background. I was competing with kids on my team for that spot who had been wrestling since they were 10.

I now train in mixed martial arts. I fucking love it. There is no greater feeling of being alive, second only to sex. The grueling workouts suck, but the ass beatings I can dole out and the mental fortitude developed and maintained is well worth it. I've trained with fighters who have fought in the ufc, and have been told I have potential. I believe this is what I am destined to do, and become.

Sometimes I find myself wishing I wasn't tone deaf so that I could be a successful musician. They've got it SO easy.

Hi XanderEmpyre, congrats on all you have accomplished so far! wow, only 18-thats intense🙂 Are you planning on playing football at the college level?

Also, I was not saying mars in cancer was weak by any means (I actually have a jr. black belt in hapkido-did it for 8 years until I had no more time bc of ballet) but instead was just pointing out the level of comfort I seek. I think it's really important for me to note that so I can improve🙂 Thanks for your well developed analysis and good luck with all your sports stuff and getting into UFC 🙂

I'm with the gem mars people. Leo sun/scorpio mars. I have to be passionate about anything I invest my time and energy into.

Sag Mars. I like my chin-up bar.
I entertain the idea of running but always get bored and prefer to walk the same distance or more and listen to tunes instead.

sometimes running bores me as well-if I'm just doing like a warmup set or long jog. Good music is a huge must!!!

idk about particular sports, bt i do know out of all signs aries is the most competitive 🙂

i 4got i answered this b4, but i agree w/ sagis being runners. 2 of my old coworkers used to track until both of their legs blew out. im thinking it has something to do w/ the centaur thing. like how the bottom half is all horse so mayb thts y ther legs r so strong n like to run? lol idk just a thought

i personally love to exercise n have a lot of stamina. i luv watching basketball.

Sun in Scorpio. Moon in Aquarius, here. At the age of 50, I started to take my running seriously.
After 18 months, 14 (monthly) races and four age-group awards, I ran my first marathon at
3:59:14. Then, I came down with severe adrenal fatigue from overtraining and not resting in the
weeks and months after the marathon. After 22 months, I finally beat it, after
learning how to relax, detox and restore. With ascendant, moon and sun all in fixed signs,
it was a challenging lesson in adaptability and receptiveness.
My Mars in Libra denotes a physical vitality that waxes and wanes.
My Sun and Mercury square Uranus severely impact my nervous system. Uranus, being
associated with the endocrine system as well, suggests some disorder.
I am back in the saddle, as of September, 2011, and though about 3 minutes off of my 5K
pace, I think I will regain my form enough to run Amica Newport Marathon in Oct of 2012.
This has been a rewarding spiritual lesson. My first marathon became like a vision quest for me,
in that it revealed my greatest weakness, and through my ability to sit and listen,
found the answers.
What is am in the process of seeking, now, is how to use calmness and tranquility as fuel,
rather than a somewhat hostile, competitive edge. I have to get my sympathetic nervous system
to calm down, and perhaps, as I do, my running will become easier, faster and more enjoyable.

Jupiter in Sagittarius

Im an outdoorsy type of person, have played volleyball seriously since I was 9 years old, my highest achievement was National Vice-champion 🙂

Walking, bike riding, swimming, Pilates, one masterful and failed attempt at Tae-Bo, Jazz dancing when younger, still could dance all night long. I groan when I've over done it, but realize it's a good tired/sore and take care of m'self.

Wow, good topic, I never really thought about athletics relating to my sign ... I don't know why not ... but yeah, I'm definitely much better at solitary distance/ endurance sports like swimming, running and biking, than I am at team sports and games.

Oh and martial arts too ... I used to take Tae Kwon Do and loved it.

^ Oh yeh.

I'm almost completely noncompetitive. It's not because I suck at sports, though. I have great hand-eye coordination and am a fast runner. I prefer dancing, because it's a group experience, not a competition...unless you make it one, I guess. Competitive people can make ANYTHING competitive 🙂
