Mars ‘Round The Zodiac: Mars In Pisces – Read All About It!
Ask the collective
This is such a Mars flavored blog, it occurred to me to co-create with the community here, a resource for googlers out there researching Mars through the signs. I thought I could write an anecdote for Mars in each of the signs and others could add their experience or expertise and this could become quite valuable over time.
Regarding Mars in Pisces, it’s very subtle. I was profoundly seduced by a man with Mars in Pisces once, he went to elaborate ends to create fantasy in order to get the girl.
I was chatting him up in bar along with one of his friends, running interference for my friend who was trying to pick up the 3rd man in the group.
Throughout the conversation, Pisces Mars was blowing on me. Yep, he was blowing on my neck but he was so tricky about it, I thought it must be the breeze from the ceiling fan spinning on the ceiling high above.
He kept blowing, I kept glancing up at the fan, he would blow, I would look at the fan and the thing is, I didn’t figure this out for more than a year.
I did marry the guy though…
Tell us about Mars in Pisces, yours or theirs…

Does 12th house Mars count?
Jilly it does, but I would prefer this stay strictly on topic as it is designed to aid beginners!
Good luck to me, staying on point talking about Mars in Pisces. ::rolls eyes::
But yes. The intention here is that people can come read about MARS IN PISCES and not be confused.
Lol kashmiri – I liked that story a lot!
It’s funny “being on a walk” was brought up. I’ve developed this habit of going on walks and zoning out on my ipod every morning. Burns off the nervous Gemini energy I guess! I would imagine other Pisces-Mars people find walking to be among the best workout activities for us – relaxed, not too intense.
What struck me as very Mars-in-Pisces is how I react when I encounter somebody walking towards me on the sidewalk. I’m always the one to move out of the way. I see them coming from yards away and even then I start to move aside! Onto the grass, onto the bike lane in the street…I don’t care! Don’t let me get in your way!
I smile at people if they aren’t engrossed in a conversation or lost in thought or don’t look like they want to be bothered…or if they smile at me, of course! But other than that, I usually just emphatically make way for them, I don’t miss a beat.
Must look a little odd, but it makes me think of a river rushing around whatever obstacle is in its way and then going on as normal
My sister with Mars in Pisces told me recently she dreams regularly about kicking the crap out of someone who physically abused her when she was a kid.
Francetta, love the Mars in Pisces “I’ll get out of the way”. I am extremely conscious of people around me and absolutely despise standing in the way. When I moved to the city, I nearly lost it dealing with all the people that just STAND THERE as if they don’t have a care in the world.
Ironically, my mars has been more activated by this my overly acute self awareness in my new environment. In turn, I’ve been learning more about my anger instead of feeling guilty or suppressing it (another mars in pisces quality).
kashmiri – Your friend from the story?
Gemini + Pisces is a funky cocktail of mutable energy as I see it – sometimes it amounts to “scatterbrained in the extreme.” But their flexible natures really do complement one another…it is hard for me to describe, but I’ve heard it said that Pisces “picks out your file” and changes ever so slightly in order to relate to you better. This is a “mode of attack”…becoming the other person emotionally, picking up on their vibes for a moment can be very strategic, while still being somewhat fantasy territory too.
Gemini picks up the slack by relating to the ‘other’ on a mental level. I think these energies can be blended to make one a fantastic conversationalist.
alicia – I can relate…People standing around like that, I would find daunting. I would hate feeling like I’m being watched, too.
When I went to D.C. a few years ago, I found walking up and down the street amongst a huge crowd of people (strangers nonetheless) to comforting in a way. Kind of got the Pisces “we’re all one” type of vibe a little bit, I think! But maybe that’s my Neptune rising peeking out.
I would like to hear more stories about “dreaming of violence” if anyone has them…last night I dreamt for the 2nd time in a week that I had to defend against some thug breaking into my house
Last time I had a knife, this time I had a gun LOL!
kashimiri:
Wow! Impressive story of your friend! How she can turn a somewhat hostile gesture around into something friendlier!
Elsa so funny, my Dad, A Pisces would always say, “Blow in my ear, and I will follow you anywhere!”
I’ve got Pisces Mars, and I find that whenever someone else opines about Pisces Mars, I’ll think – yup, that’s true in my experience of it – even if they are opposing ideas.
Which led me to consider that for me, Pisces Mars is a flexible Mars energy. Lots of options as to how to manifest, but none of them are permanent, and none are the ‘true’ expression of my Mars to the exclusion of the others. How much of the choice of option is free will, and how much dependent on something external, is still under review.
My gran was a double cap who grew up on a mountain haha and she had a pisces mars conj saturn.
When she was a kid, people used to let their horses just roam around and she would steal one for a day & ride it around and bring it back.
She had no problem with that haha.
hahahah this is such a funny story. My experience with Mars in Pisces is that sometimes I’m not as direct as I’d like to be. I dunno about seducing people, but I do think I can charm people very well and I also will go to elaborate ends to sweep someone off their feet.
I think I read this before somewhere, and I do find it somewhat true, that Mars in Pisces is afraid of their own anger. I find it hard to feel OK about being angry. I don’t think this goes well with the rest of my personality lol I think I’d prefer Mars in Aquarius.
hmmmm
I too am a Gemini with mars in pisces
and adapt I do…..whatever someone wants – well ok who am I to tell them they should not want that? I have a unclear idea of my own energy and have a hard time setting limits with a clear penchant towards codependency. I have learned to stop helping people so much. I adopt children and puppies and being needed is a huge trap I fall into.
I have a problem expressing anger and tend to have the wrong emotion at the wrong time (doesn’t help having the moon opposite) like giggling at funerals and crying when I laugh. It doesn’t seem ok to be angry .
One thing needs to be mentioned though is the amount of energy I expend on things no one else sees or understands. The direction is towards the spiritual, the intangible – have very little interest in material things.
I was married to a man who also had mars in pisces once (Gemini too). He would get sick when he was angry. He loved to draw and sculpt and play music. He also liked to dress up in costume complete with elaborate makeup. One time I came home and he was in full make of a 70 year complete with gray hair.
A lot of mars in pisces people repair or fix something for a living. I take things and make other things out of them. Clothes – toys – dishes – what I can do with leftovers could fill a cookbook.
There is an undeniable psychic benefit to this position. Good radar.
slippery. win my battles by looking ahead and finding ways of avoiding them in the first place, by preventing an issue or having it already addressed before it comes up… avoiding confrontation and just doing what i want to do anyway
and, sometimes, getting majorly riled up and going overt when someone who appears helpless gets beaten on. something like a white rage. when it passes i feel like some immense force has moved through me. unnerving and something i have to keep a close eye on… takes a lot of energy to hold it in positive intention…
(i have a pisces mars. in the seventh.)
some of it’s also, expecting what other people are expecting and presenting that and just going on doing what i’m doing. it can be done without lying. just don’t open up if i’m concerned someone might react badly. (and i keep tuning in as i collect more information, but my gut’s often pretty good about picking up on these things.) people tend to see what they believe should be there.
I think I might say I am avoidant of conflict but I am avoiding saying that too.
thanks, yeah me too – she died in 1998 haha. (born in 1905)
I briefly was romantically involved with a guy with Mars in Pisces. I’d met him while checking out a school program. We intensely hit it off immediately, but he had emailed me his interest overnight while I wasn’t checking email, so I didn’t even know until after I saw him next (indirect assertion…) Then we had a lot of intense phone talk over the next couple months before I moved out there, but as my move date came closer, I noticed some oddness about him…
After I moved and started the program he was acting really pulled back, but I didn’t want to force the issue right away. Eventually I had to confront him and he said under duress that he didn’t want a relationship at the moment. But apparently wasn’t going to tell me this at all without me forcing the conversation…just thought he’d somehow slip away and I wouldn’t notice?! And then had the gall to expect me not to be mad about it. He was really, really uncomfortable with our direct conversation about it. And I’m normally the non-confrontational one! Lol
sometimes i cry when i’m furious. people don’t get it. they want to console me and i want them to go away.
Mars in pisces here. I hate argueing and violence yet I do get angry. But my dad doesn’t even know how I’m when I’m angry.
I think I don’t like to show it, because that would also lead to somewhere and I like to be safe.
I would also like my mars to be in some other sign as I feel that I’m too lazy in pisces.
i have mars in pisces but i’m not timid at all infact quite the opposite. i’m seen as a quiet sweetie usually so when i get pissed off and fight for whatever right and fair no matter who i face i shock ppl.
i have to say that i was more on the timid side when i was young. i have grown out of it and i’m glad
.
and i agree with Tipi i think i’m too lazy having mars in pisces (well my capricorn sun does not approve of it lol)
Hmmmm I hate arguing ! ANd i can totally relate to what Francetta said!(Comment no4)
”Must look a little odd, but it makes me think of a river rushing around whatever obstacle is in its way and then going on as normal”
This thing happens when i walk and when i drive! I dont get angry, I just flow around other people and cars:)
I notice that its better to use my energy in small doses during the day! Otherwise I get soooo tired and lazy! – Especially in the summer !
I can relate to most of that is written, especially to wyrdling’s experiences (Mars in 7th as well)
I’m ready to devote my life to bringing out that Pisces Mars fantasy into reality… it’s hard to put it in words, and I feel that art is the only way.
I also don’t ever get into conflicts, nobody can ever tell that I’m angry. I do get angry but then cry to the point of physical exhaustion to calm down.
This energy is difficult to channel, but I wouldn’t give it’s beauty away for anything!
I do not enjoy sports much, but I could swim all day long! It completely calms me down to be under the water and just enjoy that blue color and the light rays!
I’m sun – gemini, mars – pisces, moon&rising – virgo. I gotta admit, I get paranoid quite often
and that includes getting out of the way too.. let’s say I like to keep distance, a little territory for myself, whenever I’m in public. Anger. I have a lot of it, but I don’t let it out, as it seems to me something really bad may happen. Dreams. Sometimes I wake up crying and I don’t remember what the dream was about to make me cry,lol. By the way, my NN is pisces as well, but SN is virgo,hello!?? I have a few of virgo in my chart, so should I go against “my nature”, I don’t get it. I should really change someTHING, because anyhting really fuckd’up may happen, I swear, haha. Anyone? Any familiar …well, anything???
I’m an aquarius sun lady with moon, mars and venus in conjunction in pisces! Cancer rising! I smile at strangers.. walk (or wavering) through people.. I’m very compassionate and i’m dealing a lot with victim syndrome.. mostly on my part! All my pisces planets square my neptune!! DOUBLE PISCES!! I’m very peaceful, friendly and… i must say odd at times!!
It’s sooo true that I don’t really like to be angry… I’ll feel sorry about myself whenever I’m mad!! Although I’m trying to change that… I’ll mostly keep quiet and hope it’ll go away…. also trying to change that!! I have to deal with lack of motivation and to control my daydreaming!! I love all this pisces… even I seem to cry for no reason sometimes… I love feeling! I think that the gift of pisces but it’s so universal it’s hard to understand myself as well as I understand others..
Although my Mars is in Pisces, my chart is dominated by Saturn in Scorpio. I wouldn’t say I’m lazy. I’m an amateur bodybuilder & find that I often have so much excess energy that I HAVE to burn it off. Also, I like grappling & struggle play. I also enjoy watching boxing & MMA fights.
However, I am extremely emotionally delicate when it comes to sex. I’m bisexual, but I haven’t been with a man for YEARS, in part because I get too emotionally connected to my lovers.
As for arguing– I enjoy debate, but not personal verbal disputes. If a stranger starts a fight with me I will typically walk away. If a loved one starts a fight with me, I will try to walk away, because I have a hot temper once angered. Actually, I can’t even remember the last time I lost my temper…it must’ve been at least 7 or 8 years ago.
I am Aquarius Sun with moon, venus and mars conjunct in pisces too:D, mars with venus square my Neptun which is in 3rd house
I simply love people and often have heard form men: “Oh God! You are so sweet!”… what makes me a little angry;)
i have a mars-in-pisces friend; she seems to know exactly when to pop in (via email, now that she’s moved) with just the right flirtatiousness at exactly the right time. she’s extremely subtle and very effective. without us ever really had at-length conversations, she’s uncanny in how she picks up what i’ll be receptive to. just once-in-awhile silly little exchanges that leave me feeling, indeed, like…my neck’s been blown on, exaaaaactly. (given her virgo venus, i suppose that somewhere along the way i passed an audition.)
This is sooooo funny- I can’t help but post a comment, even though it’s very personal… When I was persuing my husband, he jokingly asked me if my ‘patch’ matched my red hair. I told him yes, and it smells like peaches. The next day, I went out and got myself some aromatherapy oil in the scent of peaches and when I knew I was going to see him, I dabbed it on liberally… He actually noticed and said I smell good enough to eat! (that’s Mars in Pisces)
LOL!
I have Mars in Pisces opp Moon in Virgo, with Cancer Rising. I’m hypersensitive to everything around me, almost *too* empathic. I had to move away from the city because I couldn’t handle crowds. Now I live in a rural area and I love it. I also move out of the way when people come my way, and smile and wave. And animals love me! Which is cool, because my house is surrounded by dairy cows.
Also hate to express anger, but generally I’m way ahead of most people heading off any possible conflicts by eliminating them ahead of time. I find I need a certain amount of “alone time” each day to find my center. I arrange for that by getting up before everyone else and meditating and exercising and doing my thing for a few hours, and then the rest of the house wakes up. Laziness and directionlessness has been a real problem for me, but transiting pluto has been trining/sextiling my Moon/Mars opposition while progressed Mars has been conjoining my natal MC and is only a few degrees away from transiting into Aries (won’t that be a shock!) so I’ve been waking up a bit from my old languor.
Have Mars conjunct Mercury in Pisces in the 5th house, I agree with the ability to move like a river. Despite my size, I can move around without bumping into anyone. The moment I think I may bump into someone, I can maneuver in a way that can be best described as a river described earlier and never have I actually bumped into someone. It’s like a mid-course correction or something. I see it in my son too, who also has a Mars in Pisces.
I agree with Ella…Swimming is a sport (though totally not into sports) that just relaxes me and energizes me completely. I could float for days
Oh, hey, it’s the Aquarian-Sun, Moon/Mars/Venus conjunct in Pisces, square Neptune in Sagittarius party! Weeeeeuuuuheuh!
So, That dandy cluster of planets lands on the cusp of the 10th and 11th houses. The Moon hangs out in the 10, while Venus and Mars do their Idealist/Loner Dance in the 11th.
I have a love for really disturbing films and creepy atmospheric music. I tend to dance around people and respond emphatically, yet my direct rage tends to warp upon manifestation. Natal saturn in Scorpio conjunct Pluto has some fun power games with this. In the end, much of this energy comes through turning that rage inward, not through repression but through ripping away the layers of irrational flotsam and attachment to find the result that best clears the field. I need a lot of time in peace to plan and get my anxiety in order so that when I act it’s like a cobra striking or a tiger taking down an ox. However, my greatest obstacle from this comes from the “revenge” fantasies that sap my energy and get me worked up over nothing. It’s as if my channels spring a leak and all of that stimulation spills out all over everything, freezing into Fear and Doubt. It takes a while to bounce back from this.
Just have to bump this one… The Man has a Pisces Mars – I could write a book on it. Pisces Mars and Gem Venus – mutable to the power what?!
A lot of what’s been written resonates.
Lazy – very. He loves to swim but only in the sea. Takes no exercise whatsoever, other than sex – last summer he once tried to get me to reverse the car about 50 paces to save him walking, I’m quite serious! He’d spotted some strawberries for sale at someone’s garden gate, and I stopped and parked up a bit beyond the stall. He is lazy in bed too – has endless stamina for sex, but prefers the woman to do most of the work!
He can harbour a grudge for many years against those who have thwarted him – not that anyone would ever guess in public. He can keep a polite and charming facade in any circumstances, hiding his feelings well. But never imagine he’s not plotting his revenge
Fantasies in romance – yes, but not about future events, more to diffuse anger. When he made me angry – quite often – he’d instantly dream up some fantastical scenario which would disarm me completely and have me helpless with laughter (and eating our of his hand)
Hates confrontations about emotional stuff – yes, much more than most men. Will just start ranting rather than reveal his feelings
In terms of work, profession, getting his own way in general: Yes, he is immensely subtle, discreet, and manipulative, and is very good at psyching out people when he chooses to bother.
His Pisces Mars is part of a Grand Trine with his Sun/Uranus in Leo and his Saturn in Scorpio – a pretty lethal combo in terms of him knowing how to use his personal power. He’s also incredibly secretive about personal stuff, esp his private life, and in general prefers to go under the radar although he could have a quite high public profile if he chose to
Professionally he is a champion of unfashionable causes and unsung heroes, and has endless patience in achieving his goals – some have taken 25/30 years. His work requires a high degree of sensitivity to some quite volatile people
I have Mars in Pisces, square Venus in Gemini, too, BP.
I’ll have to keep this window open for later (if I don’t get this broadband error after my computer restarts).

My friend with Mars in Pisces:
We were out for a walk and a dog ran out to us, barking his head off. i was quite scared, but my friend just said
“Hey! Hi!”
He started clapping his hands slowly and loudly, walked closer and closer to the dog, who backed up and gave a confused “arf?”
Then he picked up a rock and tossed it to the dog like it as a ball, and the dog…sniffed the rock and looked at him like: ?????????
i was totally impressed!
