keeps things interesting

Yes, the two of you don’t like the same thing. Compromise is the only way this works out. If you are the one with the thing that has to be eliminated to make peace it can get tricky. In bed you have to kind of learn to like their way or say goodbye.
It helps if all the other ducks line up. Venus/mars venus/sun venus/moon and the like.

What if two people have this mars square, but each one’s mars trines the other’s venus? Would that make the sex more pleasing?

Stephanie: Been there. Yes. Yes. Oh, yes.

Hmm. This is interesting. The fellow I’m interested in have loads of excellent placements for compatibility (mutual Sun-Venus sextiles, Moons conjunct, Mars-Venus trine, Mercuries sextile, Sun-Jupiter trine, Moon-midheaven trine, Saturn-IC conjunction, Sun-Moon midpoints,Mars-Neptune trine, Pluto-Mars sextile, not to mention we have the same sun and moon signs, and both have water rising) … but we have a handful of problematic aspects, and this is one of them. Although in our case, it seems to generate sexual attraction that we’re not entirely sure what to do with, in part because for the relationship to work, we’d each have to compromise goals/independence (he more than me, really). We also have a Sun-Saturn square which isn’t good, and a loose Venus-Saturn square which may worry me the most of all because I had the same aspect with my ex-, and over time, it killed the relationship. (But then, I also had a bad Venus-Neptune square, which obscured everything.)

But we’ve never actually even kissed, never mind made it as far as the bedroom, and between the mix of all those fairly positive aspects, combined with this one, and the Sun-Saturn square, I’m not sure what to make of that.

I dated someone whom I had this aspect with and it was very dynamic. A mars square mars isn’t always bad in the bedroom. We did fight a lot outside of it however. We were both earth signs.

I had an exact (90 deg.) Mars square Mars with a man with whom I shared the most intense sexual chemistry of my life, but who I am very grateful I did not end up with *for* life! Our only common ground was in the bedroom. Outside of it, we were like that piece of a jigsaw puzzle that tricks you into thinking it fits, but the shape isn’t quite right, resulting in frustration. Our relationship just fizzled out, but still I found myself Googling “Mars square Mars synastry” this morning because he popped into my mind.

mars square mars is very difficult. does attract each other but gives enormous quarrels from time to time. for mature people only!
