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.
