This post owes a huge deal to http://www.alternet.org/books/women-sex-monogamy. This book suggests: women’s sexual self-restraint in maintaining civilization is far greater than men’s. Because a) the stakes are higher and b) the promiscuity of her libido is greater. [UPDATE: Which goes some way to explaining the roots of patriarchy.]

Its is Eve’s sexual libido in genesis that is portrayed as destroying Eden and the origin of sin.  Inanna (Venus) in Sumerian mythology is given the Mes by the chief God Enki which included kissing the phallus and the art of love-making.  Inanna the ancient Venus had qualities that the classic Greeks gave to Mars an insatiable lust and a war like stance.  “Hymns to Inanna” have been cited as early examples of the archetype of a powerful, sexual female displaying dominating behaviors and forcing Gods and men into submission to her.  Inanna is the goddess of love – but not marriage. She is connected with extramarital sex and sensual affairs, prowling streets and taverns for sexual adventure.  Gilgamesh points out Inanna’s infamous ill-treatment of her lovers. Inanna also has a very complicated relationship with her lover, Dumuzi, in “Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld”.  Inanna like Eve comes under the influence of male judgement and is found wanting.

Mars in Aries female is likely to be passionate, strong and fiery especially when it comes to those they are close to and whatever they are passionate about in life.  They are strong individuals capable of taking on the system and demanding what they have rightfully earned whether that is in the bedroom or at work they do not take second best.

Mars in Aries is a dynamic go-getter who is unafraid to go after what they want in life whether it is a promotion at work or a partner in the bedroom when these people see what they want they tend to go all out to get it.  However they do so honestly and are not usually selfish, they go for what they want in life but respect the same of everybody and are always more than willing to share their rewards.  Mars in Aries is passionate about protecting loved ones and they express their emotions openly whether they are in the boardroom or the bedroom you will always know where you are with them and how they feel.  Virility as a kind of life force (vis) or virtue (virtus) is an essential characteristic of Mars.

Mars is in its ruling sign in Aries and here it represents the battle for equality and fairness within society.  whatever these individuals go after they put their heart and soul into it.  If that is a relationship with you then respect the energy and commitment they show you.  These individuals are open and honest in their sexual relationships, they say how they feel and they are passionate and expect that passion to be returned openly and honestly.

They need honest expression in relationships whether that is arguments or demonstration of love they thrive on real physical and verbal contact that connects them emotionally to their partner.  To keep a relationship with them it is far better to argue your point with them than to lie for breaking their trust is harder to forgive.  Those with Mars in Aries do not take arguments to heart they speak their mind and say how they feel and within relationships this is essential for them because they have an excess of passion that needs venting in other forms as well as through sexual connection.  This means that arguments are a method of intimacy within their relationships as well where they feel free to vent their emotions with a partner they trust and they will adore a partner that understands this about them.

Mars in aries puts those they love at the centre of their universe and expect the same in return.

Mars in Taurus females are attracted to strong determined earthy types, that are very stable and comfortable in their own skin as well as being very sensual with large appetite for the pleasures in life.

The Great Golden Bull of heaven presided over the spring Equinox in ancient times and thus was the symbol along with Inanna (Venus) of fertility and renewal of the earth.  The auroch a wild bull was worshipped in ancient times for its strength and wild spirit, the animal could not be tamed or conquered and its horns were sacred and may have been used to symbolise virility, this extinct animal may be the foundation of some of the unicorn myths and is most probably the unicorn mentioned in the bible.  The unicorn is renowned for its healing properties, strength, wildness and attraction to virgins (Virgo the another fertile earth sign).  Whether you see yourself as the virile, wild and untamable auroch or the more gentle Unicorn you have a magic all of your own.

Mars in Gemini likes a smooth talking, light-hearted, flirtatious partner who can while away the hours in small talk and surprise her now and again.

❤

Hermes (Mercury) was an ancient virility God and Aphrodite (Venus) gave birth to his son Hermaphroditus or Aphroditus, Patron of Marriage.  In one version of the myth Salmacis was overcome by lust for Hermaphroditus, who was very handsome but still young, and tried to seduce him, but was rejected. When he thought her to be gone, Hermaphroditus undressed and entered the waters of the empty pool. Salmacis sprang out from behind a tree and jumped into the pool. She wrapped herself around the boy, forcibly kissing him and touching his breast. While he struggled, she called out to the gods that they should never part. Her wish was granted, and their bodies blended into one form, “a creature of both sexes”.  Hermaphroditus prayed to Hermes and Aphrodite that anyone else who bathed in the pool would be similarly transformed, and his wish was granted.  Hermaphroditus is associated with marriage the joining of two souls into one.  Even today the most auspicious time to get married is when the sun is in the sign of Gemini.

those with Mars in Cancer like a partner who is very empathic and in tune with his emotions and unafraid of expressing their feelings. But bold enough to show you exactly how you make them feel!

❤

Cancer is ruled by the moon, Khonsu was the Egyptian moon God.

His name reflects the fact that the Moon (referred to as Iah in Egyptian) travels across the night sky, for it means traveller, and also had the titles Embracer, Pathfinder, and Defender, as he was thought to watch over night travellers. As the god of light in the night, Khonsu was invoked to protect against wild animals, increase male virility, and aid with healing. It was said that when Khonsu caused the crescent moon to shine, women conceived, cattle became fertile, and all nostrils and every throat was filled with fresh air.

Khonsu can also be understood to mean king’s placenta, and consequently in early times, he was considered to slay the king’s (i.e. the pharaoh’s) enemies, and extract their innards for the king’s use, metaphorically creating something resembling a placenta for the king. This bloodthirsty aspect leads him to be referred to, in such as the Pyramid texts, as the (one who) lives on hearts.  Or in modern terms a bit of a heartthrob!

Mars in Leo loves an entertainer, who shines his light in the darkest moments and reminds us all to laugh because life is too short to spend worrying.  They love those that are self-aware and capable of finding humour in their own faults.

❤

Hercules is associated with the sign of Leo after killing the Nemean lion, which was turned into the constellation of Leo.  In the myth of Hercules and Omphale,  Hercules, was commanded by the oracle of Delphi to be remanded as a slave to Omphale for the period of a year.  Hercules becomes sexually enthralled by Omphale and begins to wear her clothes and perform women’s work such as spinning and weaving, while Omphale wore the skin of the Nemean lion. The skin of the Nemean lion holds the charismatic nature of the sign of Leo and through love Hercules is willing to make Omphale the central figure and adopt the role of supporting partner so she can shine her light.  This is something that resonnates with Mars in Leo females the desire to find a partner who fulfils this need in them.

The Tibetan mythical Snow Lion resides in the East and represents unconditional cheerfulness, a mind free of doubt, clear and precise. It has a beauty and dignity resulting from a body and mind that are synchronized. The Snow Lion has a youthful, vibrant energy of goodness and a natural sense of delight.

Mars in Virgo finds those with strong practical leanings extremely sexy.  They love those that can think things through practically and can be relied on to find a solution to most things in life.  Here they are attracted to the sensual earthy types who prefer actions to mere words.

❤

Virgo, the heavenly furrow was the cosmological representation of Ninlil the Sumerian cereal Goddess, wife of Enlil who fertilised her furrows in pretty graphic detail.

In the sleeping quarters, in the flowered bed fragrant like a cedar forest, Enlil made love to his wife and took great pleasure in it. He sat her on his dais appropriate to the status of Enlil, and made the people pray to her. The lord whose statements are powerful also determined a fate for the Lady (Aruru), the woman of his favour; he gave her the name Nintur, the ‘Lady who gives birth’, the ‘Lady who spreads her knees’. (…) Proud woman, surpassing the mountains! You who always fulfil your desires—from now on, Sud, Enlil is the king and Ninlil is the queen. The goddess without name has a famous name now,

Mars in Libra female likes a partner who is able to understand how they are feeling without passing judgement or the need to over analyse their thoughts, they find those that can relate well to others deeply sexy.  There is something attractive to them about people who can blend into any social group without feeling awkward, being judgemental or sticking out like a sore thumb.

❤

The Scales represent Mother Ceres in her role of protector and administrator of justice as she weighs life and right in her scales, as such although Libra is an air sign it still contains an earthy sensual quality of its patrons Ceres and Venus.  Libra in Babylonian times was part of the constellation of Scorpio and those scales weighing life and right still contain Plutonian themes, Mars in Libra is very aware of the intensities of desire that exist within their own soul which is why they relate so well to others.  Libra begins at the equinox and at this point Persephone returns to her husband Pluto and the earth itself begins to reabsorb the vegetation and nutrients back within the soil to be broken down and recycled in time for spring.   Mars in Libra understands the natural cycle of life and the importance of birth and regeneration within this cycle.

❤ ❤ ❤

Mars in Scorpio female’s perfect partner is intense, passionate and obsessive in love.  This is the Tango dancer, the Last Samurai living by his honour code and the way of his ancestors when the world around him has moved on.  This female recognises the passion in both, the fight for survival and the passion and intensity.

❤

In ancient times the signs of Taurus and Scorpio represented the spring and autumn equinox.

The goddess Ereshkigal ruling the underworld and the non-productive part of the natural cycle when the earth reabsorbs the vegetation and recycles the nutrients.  Ereshkigal’s husband Gulganna the heavenly bull representing the fertile aspect of the cycle. Ereshkigal is often described as Innana’s (Venus) big sister and the Myth of Inanna and Dumuzi involves replenishing the earth through giving up the seven auras or energies of life itself.  Innana (Venus) herself gives up these auras and returns them to fertilise the soil before Dumuzi takes her place.  Mars in Scorpio understand the fertile cycle and Mars is a guardian of Agriculture who had festivals at the equinox’s. Mars understands the process of regeneration that Scorpio rules over, the death and rebirth of mother earth.

Mars in Sagittarius ideal partner is fun-loving, adventurous and has a good sense of humour.  They are attracted to action and adventure, as well as ideas and natural exuberance.  Those with Mars in Sagittarius are naturally concerned with ethics and moral values.  They tend to question their values to see whether they reflect their ideals of what humanity could be.  Whatever their religious views are they will be well thought out and a true reflection of what their ideals of God and humanity are.

Those with Mars in Sagittarius no more seek to have sex bungy jumping than they seek to have sex in church.  Yes Mars in sagittarius loves adventure and risks, death slides and forest trails leading into the unknown they also have strong belief and ethical systems that does not mean that sex must be a religious experience anymore than a dangerous preplanned cheap thrill-seeking one.  Those with Mars in Sagittarius are spontaneous about displays of affection they love to hug, to express the joy they are feeling in the moment.

They do not expect their partners to put on a freak show for them or swing from the wardrobe – these are not natural expressions of exuberance, joy or happiness.  Those with Mars in Sagittarius tend to express their physical joy in more direct ways and have little patience with those that cannot respond as spontaneously or directly.  This is because for Mars in Sagittarius sex is supposed to be spontaneous fun, not something you hang from the door frame by your feet in order to check off a list of different positions.  Forget what other astrologers write you will not impress a Mars in Sagittarius with bedroom acrobatics just annoy them.  They don’t care what position they have sex in whether it is defined as ‘adventurous’ or not.  Not only will they not care they are unlikely to remember what position they had sex in because it is of no importance to them.

Similarly it is of no importance whether the lights are on or off, indoors or outdoors what is important to them is what they are feeling and being able to share that joy with another person.  If somebody with Mars in Sagittarius chooses to have sex with you it is because they want to share the joy of feeling like the universe is exploding and they are dissolving into their senses.  That is an honour, never something they take lightly or share with any old person.  Mars in Sagittarius don’t tend to do sex for the sake of sex, they prefer to masturbate rather than use a person simply as a means to an end.  This means when they choose to have sex with you that they specifically find something within your character or personality that attracts them and that they admire.  This means that whether your legs have been shaved, hair washed or whether you’re wearing the latest fashion is also of no importance.

If somebody with Mars in Sagittarius wants to have sex with you they will still feel that way whether or not you have just rolled in dung.  They will feel that way whether you have a small penis or a large one, whether you are inexperienced or experienced and they expect you to understand this.  For Mars in Sagittarius this is important because sex is about sharing the moment and they do not have sex because ‘we always have sex on a Wednesday’.  This means as always they will be bluntly honest, if they do not want to have sex they will say so and expect the same in return.  Mechanical sex is like fake hugs, Mars in sagittarius will feel it and it will chill their soul.  Just as they have little tolerance for those who hug for appearance rather than expression of joy or love they cannot tolerate sex without real expression.

This leads to a difficulty those in relationships with Mars in Sagittarius tend to experience and that is the swing of wanting to have sex with somebody 10 times a day to not at all and Mars in sagittarius tends to swing between both in their relationships.  Just be honest with them they will not want to have sex with you if you are not in the mood and if the problem is the other way round be honest with them.  They will not have sex if they are not in the mood but if you are honest enough to say you miss having sex with them and experiencing that joy you may just get a glimpse of how spontaneous that Mars in Sagittarius sex drive is.

Mars in Sagittarius are quite open minded about sex within limits, as said previously they want a relaxed and spontaneous partner rather than acrobatics in the bedroom.  However they will try most things once as long as a) it is not complicated and allows for spontaneity and b) it is fun and something they can laugh about if it goes wrong.  People with Mars in Sagittarius tend to have a sense of humour about sex but they will not make derogatory jokes about partners or criticise them.  On the contrary although brutally frank they seldom find sex unsatisfactory in part this is because they are likely to tell, ask or show a partner what they want and part because they are also very comfortable with their body and nudity in general.  Mars in Sagittarius is quite comfortable with the fact bodies are physical and flawed things they do not seek physical perfection just a partner comfortable to expose and express their bodies with them because Mars in sagittarius is a physical sign and expresses itself more by physical actions of hugs and touching than by words.  More importantly sex is generally an awe inspiring experience for those with Mars in sagittarius and they want to share the wonder and joy of having a body with you.

Dating a Mars in Sagittarius means getting ready for some rough and tumble, they love being picked up and swung about as well as walks especially if they leave the modern world behind and are in a place where sight and sound of civilisation is gone.  Adventure parks no matter how old they are and if they have wolves or other wild animals all the better.  Death slides, bungee jumping, nature trails, ruined buildings in the forest, derelict buildings with trees growing through the roof, castles, towers, all things old and reverting back to nature enthrall them.  Share your loves, passions and ideals.  They also love dancing, if you are not into dancing you will impress them by saying so and suggesting they have a night out with friends instead.  They love people who trust them and cannot cope in a relationship without trust, they will return and tell you who tried to chat them up and everything that happened.  Which is why Mars in Sagittarius is seldom unfaithful, their partner is their best friend and they want to share everything with them.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (Zeus). As the sky god Zeus had easy access to the women of the world and took full advantage of it. Also, his power as a supreme god made him difficult to resist. Prior to his marriage to Hera he was married first to Metis, then Themis. He was interested in Demeter but she resisted him. His third wife was Mnemosyne. He was involved with Leto shortly before his marriage to Hera. The list of lovers after his final marriage, to Hera, is considerable: and include: Europa, Io, Ganymede, Callisto and Semele.

That said these individuals are NOT unfaithful and dishonest partners.  Whatever type of relationship they prefer whether open or monogamous they will be upfront and honest about it.  What they expect is the same honesty in return, if you feel that you are only comfortable in a monogamous relationship tell them no other Mars sign will understand your need to live by your own morals better.  If you are honest you will earn their respect and they will decide whether a relationship with you is worth re-examining their own attitudes and making a commitment to a monogamous relationship.  The same is also true of those who seek monogamous relationships if you are honest about wanting to see other people they too will examine their attitudes and whether they can accept a more open relationship.  What they cannot take is dishonest behaviour, because it is in their nature to share everything and that means a relationship based on trust, respect and true friendship.

Sagittarius corresponds with the God Pabilsag who has strong connections to the lost city of Larak as its patron deity.  Pabilsag was called the warrior of Enlil and had the body of a Scorpion and the upper portion of a man.  The meaning of his name like everything else about Pabilsag is uncertain. Much of his mythology is unknown and yet to be discovered something most Mars in Sagittarius will find interesting for they love to explore and investigate.  However there is a strong probability of Pabilsag representing a mythic primordial ancestor like Abraham a mythic source for the ethical and social values of the society we live in.

Those with Mars in Sagittarius are interested in people from different cultures and religions and are open minded about forming relationships with others of different belief systems.  That said just as they will be critical of those who share their cultural and religious belief systems they will be just as critical of others especially if they are focusing on the faults of other belief systems and ignoring their own.  For Mars in Sagittarius is very blunt about the hypocrisy of others, Janis Joplin has Mars in sagittarius and it shows in the lyrics of ‘Mercedes Benz’.

To understand Mars in Sagittarius in love turn to another Janis Joplin song, ‘Ball and Chain’.  For Mars in sagittarius love feels like having your soul possessed by another, and for a freedom loving sign this is quite terrifying, to discover your freedom and independence is an illusion that somebody can crush without them realising the power they have.  Many Mars in sagittarius will feel this instantly before they even know the person.  This causes a strong reaction because their instinct is to fight, not the person but the ideology of what they are experiencing.  They may also feel angry at the person even though they understand that in reality they have done nothing wrong and this is why many will run away until they have the space and time to sort out these strange and intense emotions they are experiencing.

For Mars in Sagittarius is willing to give up their freedom for a relationship but what they struggle with is the realisation that love is not a choice, that contrary to their belief system they experience love not as the meeting of minds and shared ideals but as something that strikes irrespective of the personal characteristics of the person.  To realise that you will love somebody regardless of whether or not they are a homicidal maniac or not shocks Mars in Sagittarius.  Mars the planet of our sexual desires is also the planet of our response to love and love shocks Mars in sagittarius for it clashes with their high ideals.

This is what lies behind many of those Jupiter myths, abandonment of lofty ideals and of what was held sacred for an intense desire that will not fade or abate even if it is unrequited, even if they do not respect or like the person and this is a struggle for Mars and Sagittarius for they must find meaning in their life through experiencing this loss of freedom and abandonment of the ideal; for ideals alone cannot give our life meaning.  Those with Mars in Sagittarius must find meaning in knowing that another has always possessed their soul since birth and that they were born powerless to change this, in giving up this freedom they find another.  Freedom to love, irrespective of whether they act upon this love or not.  Those with Mars in Sagittarius find meaning in their lives through knowing they were born to love another, born to love a fallible, faulty human with all their faults and flaws.  Born to love somebody who may not return that love, may die or may never truly know or understand them.  From understanding that love contains the intensity of loss, fear, jealousy, compulsion and anger and that this gives their lives as much meaning as their ideals and the beauty of the natural world that makes them feel alive they learn to see love not as a threat to their ideals but a companion to them.

Mars in sagittarius – a wedding is one day, marriage is for the rest of your life.

Nobody understands more than Mars in Sagittarius that behind the big frilly dress is the most serious commitment we are ever likely to make with exemption to having children.  Mars in sagittarius will never take either decision lightly and will not want to make that decision with anybody they feel cannot live up to the commitment including themselves.  It is not that Mars in Sagittarius never wants to get married but that they have more respect for its meaning than any other sign and will not marry unless they can honour that commitment fully.  For at heart Marriage is a religious sacrament like baptism and Mars in Sagittarius never takes religious sacraments lightly if they are baptised or married it is because they have fully committed to those sacraments and they are unlikely to do either to conform to societal standards without full commitment.

The wild bull with brindled thighs, whose house is noble! My king, the wild bull with brindled thighs, whose house is noble! Pabilsaj, the wild bull with brindled thighs, whose house is noble! His house, the house of Larag, is noble, his house is noble! His city, a mighty city, is abundant, and his house is noble! The warrior’s house is the house of Larag; Lord Pabilsaj’s city is a mighty city ……. His birthplace was the shrine Nibru ……. The place where he drank good milk was the house ……. From the place, the pure place, ……. Isin, the unique house ……. The place which the bull embraces ……. Like a scorpion rising up from among the thorns, he is a fearsome scorpion; like a wolf rising up from his lair, he is likely to growl; like a lion rising up in the pathway, he is likely to beat …….

Capricorn was connected the Sumerian God Enki and signified rulership in his name.  Enki was responsible for fertilising the fertile crescent with his seed – water of the Euphrates and Tigris.  Enki was a very virile and lusty God who fertilised they earth so that life could begin.

Capricorn was also connected to Pan whose son with Aphrodite (Venus), Priapus was renown for his erect and enormous phallus.

❤ ❤ ❤

Mars in Aquarius ideal partner is a free spirit, who likes to think outside the box.  Their ideal partner doesn’t need to conform to stereotypes or societal norms.  Their partner is the one person who stands out in the crowd, the one with the t-shirt on back to front or the person looking back when all others are looking forward.

❤

The waters of Aquarius symbolised the ancient Sumerian God Enki/ Ea. Enki’s waters represented the Euphrates and Tigris which fed the fertile crescent.  In ancient Sumerian myth his water is semen that gives fertility to the land.  In the legend of Enki and Ninhursag, Ninhursag bore a daughter to Enki called Ninsar (“Lady Greenery”). Through Enki, Ninsar bore a daughter Ninkurra. Ninkurra, in turn, bore Enki a daughter named Uttu. Enki then pursued Uttu, who was upset because he didn’t care for her. Uttu, on her ancestress Ninhursag’s advice buried Enki’s seed in the earth, whereupon eight plants (the very first) sprung up. Enki, seeing the plants, ate them, and became ill in eight organs of his body. Ninhursag cured him, taking the plants into her body.

In the myth of Enki and Innana (Venus) Enki gets drunk and loses his Me’s (ideals of civilisation) to Inanna.  With Mars in Aquarius these individuals are likely to get drunk on the effects of Venus due to their lusty nature.

Poseidon (Neptune) was in ancient Greece part of an earth cult with Demeter and Persephone. GAIA The Goddess of the Earth was a consort of Poseidon. She bore him numerous children including the giants Antaios and Kharybdis.  In classical Greece Poseidon was referred to as the earth shaker.  This God could make mother earth tremble with passion.

The fish of Pisces may be connected to Siduri, the Sumerian barmaid Goddess (an incarnation of Venus) who lives at the lip of the sea, this was her advice to Gilgamesh:

Gilgamesh, whither are you wandering? Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands. Gilgamesh, fill your belly. Day and night make merry. Let days be full of joy, dance and make music day and night. And wear fresh clothes. And wash your head and bathe. Look at the child that is holding your hand, and let your wife delight in your embrace. These things alone are the concern of men.

As the lovers followed her even there, Poseidon metamorphosed the maiden into a sheep and himself into a ram, and all the inhabitants of the island into animals. As the lovers began to slaughter these animals, he changed them into wolves. The god then became by Theophane the father of the ram with the Golden fleece (Aries).

Keroessa was reared by Semestra and grew up surpassing other local maidens in beauty. She had a romantic tryst with Poseidon and in due course gave birth to a son, whom she named Byzas.
