The Sun/Mars midpoint on its own can be read as a conjunction of the Sun and Mars. In what sign does it fall in the chart? Which house?
Sun/Mars can inform you of a person’s general vitality and energy levels. One might expect to see it show up strongly in the charts of athletes. It can show enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. It represents willpower, leadership, and ambition and the way a person expresses their energy and drive. It can show how willing or unwilling a person is to assert themselves.
Activations of Sun/Mars by Transit or Progression
Sun/Mars=Sun: An emphasis on vitality. Generally, unless there’s a serious affliction, the person should be feeling healthy and strong.
Sun/Mars= Moon: Domestic action – moon becomes energized. What the moon “wants” is a sense of security. With Sun/Mars, there’s a push to obtain it. Can also correlate with caretaking – particularly by women. Alternately, taking care of a woman and deriving a sense of purpose from it. There can also be more negative manifestations, such as having a fight with one’s mother. It really depends upon the condition of the moon.

From 1987 until his death in 1993, GG Allin experienced a surge in his aggressive tendencies. During this time, Progressed Mars was on his Sun/Mars midpoint. He was arrested for assault in late 1989 and spent the next 15 months in prison.

This was activated via secondary progression in the chart of Beverly Allitt while she was murdering little kids. Technically she has it natally, but Progressed Pluto moved from 23.21 degrees Virgo (natal) to 24.06 degrees in the progressed chart. The actual midpoint is 24.31 Virgo. When Progressed Pluto was at the exact conjunction, a judge confirmed that she must serve a minimum of 30 years before even being considered for parole. For some background, she was initially given 13 life sentences and has spent the past 30+ years in a mental hospital.
