What Your Mars Placement Reveals Using Astrology as a Language for Real-Life Patterns How you take action. How you handle confrontation. How you respond when things get uncomfortable. These patterns affect every area of your life, your work, your relationships, your self-trust — whether you’ve ever looked at a birth chart or not. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken explore these patterns through a grounded, practical lens of astrology, using Mars — the planet of action, drive, anger, desire, and assertion as a tool for self-awareness rather than a box to put yourself in. This is not about labels or predictions. It’s about giving language to behaviors you’re already living. If you’ve ever said: “I hate conflict.”“I get heated fast.”“I shut down.”“I need time before I respond.”That’s Mars at work. Crystal and Laken share personal examples of how different Mars placements show up in real life, how confrontation styles can clash when nervous systems aren’t understood, and why none of these responses are wrong — they’re simply different. This episode invites curiosity over judgment, compassion over blame, and better questions over quick reactions. By understanding how you’re wired to move, act, and assert yourself, you gain more choice in how you communicate — especially when emotions are high. ✨ Astrology here becomes a mirror, not a rulebook — offering insight that leads to tangible behavior change and deeper connection.
