Today let’s try to decipher the mystery of what really impresses a woman. This is an eternal question and probably Brahmadev, the Creator himself is also not very sure on this. But astrology can offer some insights.
Here is a simple method which can offer clues on what a woman feels attracted to in a man. This will work for at least the initial first meeting. The first spark that two people feel when they meet each other for the first time. However for long term relationships or marriage, we have to read the complete horoscopes of both the partners in depth.

Mars is the energy of life and death. He is competitive, passionate and welcomes a challenge. In love or in war it is Mars who provides the energy. In a woman’s birth horoscope, the position of Mars determines that first spark of interest which she feels for a man who enters her life. Here are some general observations depending on the sign the Mars occupies in the horoscope.
If the woman has her Mars in the Aries sign then she is attracted to the strong type of men. She prefers them to be independent, confident and straightforward. She has a preference for sportsmen and athletic types and physical fitness is a definite plus. She likes her man to be adventurous and daring. She does not prefer men who are sensitive, or shy or are indirect and make her guess.
If a woman her Mars in the Taurus sign, she prefers men who seem stable and make her feel secure. She is attracted to men who have a traditional sort atmosphere around them. Simple, masculine, down to earth, hardworking and sensible men. She does not prefer her man to be overly emotional or overly intellectual.
If a woman has her Mars in Gemini then she is attracted to intelligent men who are able to speak well. Being able to joke or sing is a definite plus. She prefers men who look younger than they are or have boyish features or at least a dressing sense which makes them look younger. Her ideal man is lively, playful and imaginative. She does not prefer men with traditional masculine looks, instead prefers the slim, delicate sort of intellectual type.
If a woman has her Mars in the Cancer sign then she prefers the sensitive type of man. She is attracted to the moody or temperamental sort of vibe. However she still wants to feel safe so wants her man to also be of the traditional masculine stereotype. Mars is debilitated in Cancer so these women are often not really sure about what they want and when. They are attracted to complicated men but yet set in the traditional style.
If a woman has her Mars in Leo, then she is attracted to men who are imposing in some way. Proud, regal, dignified and confident men are her ideal mate. She prefers her man to be someone who mixes with everyone yet manages to keep a separate aloof profile. But in private she prefers her man to be playful and fun to be with. Rich, well off and generous men who have just that little touch of possessiveness are her perfect type. She does not prefer serious, emotional or high maintenance type of men.
If the woman has her birth Mars in Virgo then she is attracted to a healthy, neat and clean sober sort of men. Modest, sensible and systematic men appeal to her sensibility. She wants a competent man who is helpful, useful and supportive in nature. Intelligence is appreciated but overly intellectual or emotional men are a turn off for her. She dislikes men who are show offs or are loud.

If a woman has her Mars in Libra, then she prefers men who are handsome and elegant with a neat and clean looking vibe. Being dressed neatly is a plus. Men, who appear rude or unhygienic or unbalanced are a turn off for her. Men who actively show good upbringing, good manners and have a natural charm are her ideal mate. She likes conversation, a genuine exchange of ideas. She enjoys romance, gifts and little surprises which are a plus.
If the woman has her Mars in Scorpio then she is attracted to mysterious men who are complicated, passionate and secretive. These are the brooding sensuous men with hidden depths type that we seen in the movies. She likes intensity and wants her man to be possessive of her. She dislikes men who are clingy, chatty and charming. She wants those magnetic types who can set her heart on fire.
If a woman has her Mars is in Sagittarius then she likes her man to be intelligent, honest and charming. Energetic, pleasant men who are active in society interest her. Regular men who are settled, happy and capable of conversations, with a general happy go lucky vibe. She does not like egoistic men who boast about their achievements in life.
If a woman has her Mars in Capricorn, then she finds competence attractive. She likes men who are socially prominent in some way or in business. Stability, seriousness and sincerity attract her. She does not like men who seem overly youthful or carefree or refuse to take responsibility. She prefers a man who has clear ideas about his life focus, can strategise and achieve his goals. Men with a traditional mindset suit her.
If a woman has her Mars in Aquarius, then she is impressed by men who are have a social presence, yet are not traditional nor conventional. She wants her man to be interesting but not shocking. He has to be financially stable and otherwise also provide her with security. She likes outgoing men who are somewhat unconventional and who know how to have a good time. She does not like her man to be overly emotional or extra intelligent or boring.
If a woman has her Mars in Pisces then she is attracted to the complicated man who is also sensitive and expresses his emotions. Confident men who are self sufficient are a turn off. She wants her man to depend on her in some way, so that she can come to his ‘rescue’. A man who is troubled by the society or has a unsupportive family, ie is helpless in some way interests her. She prefers men who have a ‘soft’ side.

In addition you can check out the synastry combinations. Mars is the main planet who ignites mutual passion between two people, but he cannot grant staying power. The 5th house is the house of ‘selfish love’ and the 8th is the house of physical intimacy and secret passions. So if in synastry, Mars is connected to the 5th house then he can trigger instant strong passion between the two. Romance and sexual desire can be heightened in this synastry combination as that first spark instantly turns into a raging fire. But this is not an indication for a long lasting partnership by itself. There need to be other combinations to support the relationship.
Mars synastry in the 8th house also leads to random and intense desires for intimacy. Again this is not an indication for long term relationships by itself. Venus-Mars synastry combinations can grant a long term romance. And Venus can eventually balance out the intensity in the long term allowing a more mature yet romantic partnership.
Thus the position of Mars in a woman’s horoscope can be used to judge what kind of partner attracts her at least in the initial phase of the romantic relationship. So open your own chart or your sample charts and see for yourself how Mars behaves in romance.
