Sports Challenge

Mars in Scorpio natives are usually the "challengers" of the zodiac, next to Mars in Aries natives.  They are always looking for something new to overcome and are known to create obstacles for themselves.  Some of these natives may be interested in creating their own sport!  Whatever challenge they take on, they usually do so with passion.  Once they've made up their mind about a challenge there is no turning back from there.  These natives are usually fighting an even greater challenge: themselves.  Whatever challenge comes their way, they do not waste their opportunities.  These natives are always ready to make full use of their skills.  These natives like to live life on the "edge".  They are often attracted to some of the most dangerous sports, sports that can usually be found in extreme sports or Nascar racing.  They may need to be more precautious before taking up any sport that could cost them their life. These natives may perform well in almost any kind of situation, whether they are working as a team or solo (although they usualy prefer to do things solo).  These natives want to make an impact, so they will go for sports that will allow them to make their mark on a sport for generations.

 

Competitive Energy

Mars in Scorpio natives are passionate, daring, and extreme.  When they compete, they are set on winning.  Losses are not an option.  These natives will use whatever abilities they have up their sleeves.  The better their opponents, the more intense their plays will become. They are tactile players, always looking for the weaknesses of the opponent or the opposing team. These natives push themselves quite hard when competing.  They may need to take a little break every once in a while or else they will burn out.  These natives tend to see the weaknesses of others more often than they see their own weaknesses. While these natives do not like losing, they actually do better after they have had a loss.  When they fall, they begin to understand their fullest potentials.  These natives are always going through changes physically.  However they played in one game could be totally different the next time around.

 

Note: Natives with Mars in the 8th house or natives with Mars aspecting Pluto may relate to this description.  Scorpio is co-ruled by Pluto which means  that Pluto's sign, Pluto's planetary aspects, and  the house position of Pluto.

 

Famous Quote From a Mars in Scorpio Athlete: "I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet."
