Mars in the signs
Mars in Sagittarius
Mars in Sagittarius acts on conviction. Drive is enthusiastic, restless and aimed at the horizon; energy is best spent on travel, sport, study and causes. Anger is blunt and quickly over. This is the placement of the explorer and the campaigner. The weakness is overreach and a careless aim. The work is to look before the leap and to stay for the second half.
In plain words
Mars stands for your drive and your temper. In Sagittarius, that works in a Sagittarius way: upbeat, blunt and always looking further. You say what you think and want to see what is over the hill.
