Mars is associated with our sexual desires, the action we take, the house that holds out natal mars is where we can exert a lot of energy and where we can be aggressive it’s function is outward assertion

When Mars turns retrograde the energy of Mars is directed inward we aren’t always consciously aware of what we are feeling sometimes we have repressed anger; look for cystic acne, paper cuts and people yelling at you as signs you aren’t handling your own anger constructively
