They rarely meet women who understand them, and if they are lucky enough to escape opposition from their wives, they usually meet with it in their children.
In health they are prone to fevers and blood diseases, especially in their early life.

In youth they are also very liable to fits, epilepsy, severe headaches, often water on the brain, and suffer greatly with their teeth.
In old age they have a grave liability towards apoplexy, vertigo, pains in the head and softening of the brain, and especially so if on their hands the Line of Head looks frayed, or made up of little pieces like a chain.
Such people should be advised to cultivate repose self-control, and above all to avoid wines, spirits, and stimulants of all kinds, to which as a rule these natures are very much inclined.
They should endeavour to sleep more than any other class, to take more recreation and exercise in the open air, and above all things to curb their pride and control their temper.
The higher types of these subjects and those among them who practise self-restraint, can rise to almost any height in life and do great things for the benefit of their fellow men.
THE SECOND MOUNT OF MARS The second Mount of Mars, lying between the Heart and Head Line (Plate VI., Part II.), is more important when the subject is born between the dates of 21st October and the 21st November and until November 28th.

In the Zodiac this period of the year is called the House of Mars Negative or Mental.
In character they are the complete opposite of the former type, all the Mars qualities being in the mind and in the mental attitude towards people and things.
The latter type are mentally very courageous, and possess _moral courage_ more than physical.

They hate to have scenes, or to be mixed up with physical violence or bloodshed.
They love to fight mentally, however, and in debates or arguments they also fight to the finish.

They are more quietly determined than the former class of Mars subjects.
