Mars

The name Mars is of Roman origin. In Roman mythology, Mars is one of the oldest gods, part of the triad of gods who originally headed the Roman pantheon. Mars was the god of fertility (agriculture) and could influence the harvest or the death of livestock. Later he was identified with the Greek god Ares, the god of war, so Mars also became the god of war.

Therefore, most often the name Mars is interpreted as “militant”. But there is also another meaning of the name - “male” - in the understanding, the one who is “man ”, “defender”, “strong”, because Mars was the father of Romulus and Remus, the ancestor and guardian of Rome.

The fourth planet of the Solar System was named after the god Mars, and in many Romance languages Tuesday is also named after him.

All these features are perfectly combined in this personality, Mars becomes a convinced activist of the cause that he intended to carry out. Mystery and distrust are integral features of his character, he determines his choice by intellectual or spiritual closeness, and sometimes by a very developed intuition. This does not prevent him from looking at the world skeptically and rationally.
