Rarely have I been so starkly reminded as I was in those groups of how we all view other human beings through our own particular lenses! One of the great values of learning astrology is that we can become fluent in a language of human personality and behavior that not only is unbelievably accurate, but also contributes to mutual human understanding and tolerance.

Venus, Mars, and the Sun’s Energy

Another point that I cannot emphasize enough is that Venus and Mars should never be considered in isolation from the rest of the chart, and particularly never analyzed separately from the Sun, the source of all energy in our solar system, which—scientifically and symbolically—provides the core vitality of every individual person. In analyzing someone’s personality through astrology, the Sun’s energy, one might speculate, is filtered through, reflected in, and distributed by the planets. To put this specifically, the Sun’s element and sign energy is implicitly enlivening and flowing through all the other planetary placements in anyone’s birth chart. (Obviously the Moon reflects the solar light, and there is even some scientific evidence that Jupiter amplifies the solar radiation that it receives.) This seems to me a useful conceptualization of how energy seems to flow in the energy fields of individuals, as depicted in individual birth charts—those maps of our solar system that are calculated for the moment of birth, which are the foundation of all astrological studies.

I arrived at this particular perception only after many years of observing people, and I was particularly helped by a detailed study of athletes and their birth charts that I did over a period of twenty years, focusing on a variety of sports but especially basketball, baseball, and some track and field. Watching the athletes in action allowed observation of the direct expression of their individual energy qualities and styles, without the intervention of words or social posturing to obscure the person’s true nature. Through this study, it became apparent that, for example, in an especially aggressive Aries Sun athlete, Mars (the “ruling planet” of Aries) in Gemini could easily manifest as a very intelligent basketball player with quick perceptions and great hand-eye coordination, who was also known for the usual Gemini Mars traits of being outspoken and often critical of his teammates for poor judgment on the court. In other words, the aggressive Aries Sun Fire energy was pouring through that player’s entire personality, making his Mars more forceful than Gemini Mars is usually known to be.

A few additional examples of the importance of the Sun’s element, sign, and vital power in determining the expression of Mars and Venus energies will make this concept come alive even more effectively. Because, as I mentioned, the Sun seems to radiate its energy through the person’s Mars and Venus, one could simply state that there are twelve general types of expression for each Mars sign, depending on the Sun sign (for example, Mars in Aries with Aries Sun, Mars in Aries with Taurus Sun, and so on). There are
