Mars in 3rd House Synastry Explained
In social situations, you will probably find your Mars in 3rd House synastry partner aggressive or, at least, overly energetic and unnecessarily active. This will not go unnoticed, and the partner will also react quite energetically, the concrete course of action depending on the position of Mars in their natal chart. For example, a Gemini can turn to verbal aggression, and a Cancer will feel deeply offended and very expressively shut up.
Regardless of your partner’s reaction, you will not consider it as targeting you personally: rather, it will appear to you as indirect and socially mediated. However, if your Third House is afflicted, and if you struggle to have positive and productive relations with society, even minimal signs of personal attention from your partner can make you flip out. You may perceive him or her (wrongly) as the embodiment of general hostility towards you, acting accordingly and drawing erroneous conclusions about your partnership.
All in all, Mars in Third House synastry partners teach you how to use the energy emanating from your relationship in constructive ways; but you will have to understand how to do it on your own as the partner plays the role of a mere catalyst, albeit a powerful one.
