Mars is the MOTIVATOR. It has powerful positive and negative influences, and is a force to be considered with utmost CAUTION.

Mars does not know nor care about right or wrong, It only strives after VICTORY. It incites courage, bravery and vinditiveness. It is inclined toward combativeness and its power favors domination, politics, athletics, surgery, industry, difficulties in lawsuits, etc. It seems to furnish the necessary drive and force required to CONQUER or WIN.

Martian influence is a PROTECTOR par excellence and the Mars hour is useful for petitions of protection against enemies, the "Evil Eye" and demonic attack or possession.

Time to launch an all-out attack on an enemy or adversary. Remember, this spell is like the Gladiator - it will drive to the KILL if uncontrolled and is very likely to leave a trail of blood in its wake! Therefore, if it is only desired to thwart, or inhibit another's actions, without actually hurting the person, then Saturn would be better. Always carefully consider the Karmic aspects of Mars' influence, one is entitled only to like kind of retribution - no more! Any "overdraught" will be subject to the Law of Three!

Controlling Mars:
You must learn to modify it with other Planetary or zodiacal influences. Example: Mercury or Venus, with a Mars Hour and The Moon in an Air Sign to combat in Justice for a favorable outcome (during the New Moon, 1st Quarter)

Mars-Sun Cusp:
Seek paroles or liberation, whether deserved or not. Spell cast to obtain freedom is well-timed if the power can be released at the precise moment of the cusp, with the Moon in a fire sign. For Peaceful seperations or hand-partings, choose a day of Venus, Moon full-to-waning in an Earth Sign with the Mars-Sun Infuence

Jupiter-Mars Cusp:
Good for Psycho-kinetic Magick (mind over matter) - change the weather, divert storms, influence gaming devices to win and to bring about "miraculous" (spontaneous) healings, etc. With the Sun in an Air Sign, the Moon in a Water Sign.
