Mars in Air – Engage the Mind

Aquarius – Mars may just be the kinkiest, barring Mars in Scorpio, as they have a certain detachment around how they experience the physical nature of lovemaking.

Aries – Mars probably initiated the Mile High Club. Daring, adventurous and thriving on risk taking, this Mars approaches the lusty arts with gusto and a touch of competition.
