Mars in Pisces .... Choking?

[Deleted]

So I was doing some celebrity gossip research and I’ve found the theme of mars in Pisces enjoying choking during sex. This seems really random to me. Mars in scorp or Capricorn wouldn’t surprise me. Even cancer. But Pisces???

what are your experiences?

[12YearsABlob]

When I saw the title, I thought you meant choking as in - choking under pressure. Or just being unable to perform, even on a regular day. (Stop snickering, you, I mean perform *in life*). Was gonna say that's a Mars-Saturn thing too.

Now that I've read your description, however...

Trying to be a good AG citizen and address the actual question...

Why is Pisces surprising to you though? In fact, I'd throw in Virgo as well (sorry, Virgo). (Is it a matter of you not expecting them in that role?). Not to put too fine a point on it, but those roles go both ways. One can flip between the two, especially a mutable sign.

Now as for the inclination towards that whole set of behaviors, I'd look to the aspects - just as or more important than the sign. Particularly outer planet afflictions, restrictions to Mars (to some extent Venus).

P.S. No offense on my previous post, btw. Not judging the question, just being my awkward self.

I thought the thread was about choking on food. So I was bewildered and concerned. "Have people been choking more lately?"

12YearsABlob I’m just not able to connect the symbolism of Pisces to it. I don’t understand why astrologically that makes sense. Cap/scorp would be the power strip, etc. Virgo is about serving sonthey adapt. Why Pisces tho?

[12YearsABlob]

Oh, okay - I see what you're asking.

Well, firstly, I'd look at the aspects to that Mars (and how it's aspected in synastry - different people can bring out different things). Natal aspects cannot be stressed enough - I'd even argue that placements are flavoured more by aspect than by sign.

Secondly, you know how those high-powered corporate types pay for a Dominatrix? It seems counter-intuitive, but it's exactly the release they need, they crave. Sometimes outside demeanour does correspond to behind-the-scenes roles (a meek person being a sub, etc). But a lot of times it's the opposite. People need the balance, the release, to be what they cannot be or express on the outside.

Another not-so-remote possibility is it being the partner's wishes (Pisces mars won't stop short of anything to fulfill that).

One likely ingredient you cannot check (well, not fully at least) is their background. Upbringing and early experiences can play a pivotal role in shaping these parts of us.

WTF? Not this one.

I was strangled when I was five, and they almost killed me. Mum got them to let go just in time. No way would I want anyone getting violent with me, in any way. It isn't attractive. 

[Ava]

Horrible and heartbreaking anela.

[12YearsABlob]

Omg, anela! And you were just five. So sorry that happened to you. <3

[Deleted]

anela I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m not saying all mars in Pisces want this. I just noticed ce a pattern of mars in Pisces male celebrities enjoying choking partners...

12YearsABlob interesting... I will need to think about it more

[geminiblues]

My Mars in Taurus just doesn't understand. Heck, it doesn't even understand why someone would want... well... shall we say... other things that cause pain. Isn't the point to feel good?

That said, if I speculate, perhaps it's not the act or the pain for Mars in Pisces but the desire to reach an altered state of consciousness? That would seem to fit quite well.

[12YearsABlob]

^ My Taurus mars friend asked me the same question when we were teenagers. "Can you please explain to me why that is a thing?"

And yes, the altered state of mind makes sense. Especially at the receiving end.

Although I didn't mention it because OP's confusion made me think they were seeing Pisces in the giving role.

[geminiblues]

Then perhaps it's a case of Mars wanting to supply what Venus would want to receive?

12YearsABlob shoulda mentioned it. Make complete sense to me now *cue enlightenment

Ava I should specify too so I don’t seem like a weirdo... what happened was that I have an Aquarius mercury which finds its ways on the rabbit hole of the internet. After reading about these celebs ... also John Wayne Gary (Pisces sun not mars).... after the period of a few years of information I started seeing a pattern

[Ava]

Back in high school my friends and I used to choke each other for fun, this was a trend going around, making each other go woozy and pass out for a second. But this was in a social context, at parties or when a group of us was hanging out. So weird, looking back on those memories. Anyway, I have Mars t-squaring Pisces moon and Neptune, and if that's like Pisces Mars........well, I'm here to say, it never crossed my mind to do that in any other context besides being a bored suburban teenager without access to real booze.

Pls don't quote

P.S. : Leto's chart, wow

@theunknown: Don't worry, we all go off into weird corners of the internet sometimes.
