When are we required to be an unstoppable force? What must be overcome that necessitates tenacity, courage, and vigour? When is victory essential?

For all these purposes and directives, Mars offers us exactly what is required. So while, yes we must temper the application of Mars’ power with caution, Capricorn offers a workable expression of this the most unstoppable of planets.

Mars, as with Saturn, is often, and wisely, applied with caution in astral magic. But, the purpose and application of its power, intelligence, and spirit is necessary and undeniably valuable when required, such as the need to prevail, especially when failure is not an option.

Exaltation increases greatness and strength, moving towards eminence and dynamism. Mars is offered a container in the feminine-earth sign of its exaltation, while granting it pragmatism, effectiveness, and strategic discernment. Equality, capricorn gives unique productivity, toughness, and maturity to Mars. Capricorn, as with Aries, is said within the Picatrix to be appropriate whenever you desire to overcome or obtain something.

Mighty Ares, golden-helmeted rider of chariots, stout-hearted, shield-carrying and bronze-geared savior of cities, strong-handed and unwearying lord of the spear, bulwark of Olympos, father of fair Victory, and succorer of Themis. You curb the unruly and lead truly just men, O paragon of manly excellence, wheeling your luminous orb through the seven-pathed constellations of the sky, where flaming steeds ever carry you above the third heavenly arch. Hearken, helper of mortals and giver of flourishing youth, and from above shine a gentle light on my life and my martial prowess, that I may be able to ward off bitter cowardice from my head, to bend wisely my soul's beguiling impulse and to restrain the sharp fury of my heart, whenever it provokes me to enter chilling battle. But, O blessed one, give me courage to stay within the secure laws of peace and to escape the enemy's charge and a violent death.

- Homeric Hymns

Oh Mars, you who are the honoured lord, hot and dry, capable, colossal, robust at heart, the spiller of blood and giver of harm itself! You are strong, powerful, sharp, daring, shining, agile, and the lord of battle, punishment, affliction, injury, prison, sorrow, and mixed and discrete things. You who have fear nor concern for anything! You are the sole helper in instigating your efforts, strong in your judgements and willful acts toward conquering and making petitioners fortunate, and actor or lawsuits and battle, a performer of brutality on the weak and the strong, a lover of the children of battles, an avenger of wicked and harmful people in the world. I conjure and ask by your names and qualities present in the heavens, by your conquests, and by your requests to the Lord God who placed in you power and strength, gathering for you and separating them from the other planets so that you might have strength and power, victory above all, and great vigour.

-Picatrix, Book 3
