THE
FIRST MOUNT OF MARS
In
the first Mount, at the commencement of the Line of Life and
especially when the subject is born in the House of Mars (March
21st to April 21st, and in a minor way
until the 28th), he possesses a strong martial
nature.
They
have great obstinacy of purpose and determination, they resent
all criticism, they are decided and dogmatic in all their
views, and seldom ask the advice of others, until it is too
late to alter their purpose for good or evil.
They
can only be handled or managed by kindness, patience, tact,
or by their affections.
As
a rule these people are good-natured and generous, but spasmodic
and impulsive in all their actions. Their greatest fault lies
in their impulsive and lack of self-control, and unless a
good Line of Head by shown on the hands, they rush madly into
all kinds of difficulties and dangers.
Such
people should be advised to cultivate repose, self-control,
and above all to avoid wines, spirits and stimulants of all
kinds, to which as a rule these natures are very much inclined.

THE
SECOND MOUNT OF MARS
The
second mount of Mars, lying between the Heart and HeadLine
(fig 12) is more important when the subject is born between
the dates of 21st October to the 21st
November and until November 28th. In the Zodiac
this period of the year is called the House of Mars Negative
or Mental.
In
character they are the complete opposite of the former types,
all the Mars qualities being in the mind and in the mental
attitude very courageous, and posses moral courage more than
physical.
When
not only highly cultivated or developed, they employ cunning
and craft of every description to carry out their plans. They
will stop at nothing to carry out their purpose.
Mars's
Negative people are generally so versatile and many-sided
that they are the most difficult of all to place in some special
career. If a good Line of Head were found on the hand, then
there is nothing in the world of mental endeavour in which
they will not make a success.
Their
period in the Zodiac as from time immemorial been symbolized
in their lower development as the figure of a scorpion wounding
its own tail and in their higher development that of an eagle
with its head pointing upwards to the sky. Such symbols perfectly
illustrate the dual nature of the type under consideration.
