Mars symbolism

Mars symbolism refers to the various meanings, icons, and cultural representations associated with the planet Mars. Often linked to themes of war, strength, aggression, and masculinity, Mars symbolism appears in mythology, astrology, and art. It is commonly represented by the red planet itself, the Mars glyph (a circle with an arrow pointing outwards), and related imagery such as swords, shields, and the Roman god Mars. This symbolism is used to convey energy, assertiveness, courage, and conflict in multiple contexts.
