When Mars, the planet of action and desire, finds itself in the grounded, disciplined sign of Capricorn, it creates a person who is determined, ambitious, and pragmatic. You are not one to rush headlong into a situation without a clear plan. On the other hand, Eros in Aries is all about the impulsive, passionate pursuit of love and pleasure. This placement suggests a fiery, assertive approach to romance, with a love for the thrill of the chase.

The square aspect between Mars in Capricorn and Eros in Aries presents a fascinating dichotomy. It's like you're a well-trained athlete who's also a hopeless romantic. You are driven and goal-oriented, yet you can't resist the allure of a passionate love affair. This aspect creates a dynamic tension between your disciplined nature and your impulsive desires. It's like trying to run a marathon while being distracted by a box of chocolates on the sideline.

You are often in a tug of war between your need for structure and your longing for spontaneous passion. Your Mars in Capricorn side has you setting goals, making plans, and working diligently towards them. But then Eros in Aries comes along, like a mischievous friend, luring you into a spontaneous adventure or a passionate love affair. It's like trying to focus on a business meeting while your mind keeps drifting to that exciting date you had last night.

But don't fret, this is not a curse but rather a unique blend that makes you who you are. Yes, it can be challenging at times, but it also adds a certain spice to your life. Imagine how boring life would be if you were all work and no play, or all play and no work. You have the best of both worlds, and with a little balance, you can harness the energy of both these placements to your advantage.
