Child of Jupiter with Child of Mars
A Child of Mars cuts right to the quick. It can be a little shocking for someone who likes to think about things as much as you, but it’s also liberating. You can always rely on a Child Mars for a push when you need it.
Your Mars love interest is certainly exciting to be around. But it’s hard to imagine keeping up this kind of pace. Everything is so urgent and needs to be taken care of immediately! It’s almost as if your personal trainer followed you home from the gym and is with you every waking hour pushing you to go for the burn; reminding you to maintain good form. At a certain point, you’re just going to want to relax and let it all hang out.
Your Mars mate can’t help but see everything in terms of power structure. There are those who lead and those who serve. It will take a while to establish who’s who, but in all likelihood you’ll discover the roles change according to the situations you find yourselves in. Your Mars mate probably does best in emergencies or situations that require quick thinking, whereas you’re good at looking beyond the heat of the moment and making decisions that prove cogent in the long run. No matter how bossy your mate gets, keep one very important thing in mind, Children of Mars love to take orders.
The reason you accomplish as much as you do is because of your Mars parent. You might have bristled at the boot camp style atmosphere of your early home life, but once you got those good habits drilled into you, then you never had to worry about slowing down. Children of Jupiter can be prone to laziness, but thanks to your Mars parent, you’ll never know what that’s like.
Your Mars kid needs something to fight, it’s how he or she builds up willpower. Since that means you’ll be playing punching bag, infuse these little altercations with good humor and wit and your Mars kid will learn respect, the power of his or her own strength, as well as good sportsmanship. The more that you can show that there’s a difference between a contest and a fight, the more your Mars Child will develop a healthy attitude toward conflicts in general and won’t take things so personally.
Your Mars sibling likes to fight. You can’t stand it. But you’re no patsy. You understand that the only way to resolve some conflicts is by taking a strong hand. But when you do it, it’s because you’ve been forced to. In truth, your motives may not be so altruistic. Indeed your Mars sibling may serve as an uncomfortable reminder of an aggressive side that you’re not at ease with.
If you’re dealing with a problem that’s straightforward, then your Mars friend is great, because he or she will come up with all kinds of solutions lickety-split. He or she may even offer to handle it for you. However if it’s something that you’re still trying to sort out, then your Mars friend may try to get a rise out of you by telling you you’re thinking too much or that you’re being too namby-pamby. At times like these you have to remember that your friend was born under the Planet of “actions speak louder than words.”
You’re not big on conflicts, so get someone else to do the fighting for you. Try another Child of Mars.
It wouldn’t be surprising if this person wound up working for you one day. Though Children of Mars make great leaders, they’re not good developers, which is your strong suit. Nevertheless you could learn a thing or two from your Mars boss’s hands-on approach, not to mention “don’t mess with me” attitude.
