RULING PLANET
MARS – Roman god of war. The planet of energy, action, desire, forcefulness and aggression. With Mars, there is no contemplation before action. It is the survival instinct, and can be thought of as the “leftover” animal nature of man. Rules our sexuality and sexual energy and are associated with basic body attraction. The drive associated with Mars differs from that of the Sun in that it is self-assertion rather than assertion of the will; it is raw energy rather than creative energy. Governs weapons, accidents and surgery. Takes roughly two years to completely orbit around the earth.
GEMSTONE
DIAMOND – Symbol of wealth, accumulation and the manifestation of abundance. The fact it must be cut to reveal its beauty compares to the inner, spiritual beauty of the human being. Helps the mind to detach itself from the unwanted and unnecessary thoughts, bringing mental clarity to where it is most needed.

Its connection to planet Mars derives from a warriors’ custom of wearing diamond stones in battle for protection and strength.

Number 4 represents authority and established thoughts and ways.

The red robe and vibrant sunrise support the theme of fire. The color red inspires initiative and taking action.
