I’m Not Just Emotional — I’m Wired to Fight

“It’s not like I’m choosing consciously, like I have any choice over it, to have that feeling come up in my body. What I do with that feeling is on me. And that’s the hard part.”

Let’s get one thing straight: not everyone processes emotion the same way. For some of us—especially those of us with Aries Mars, Mars squares, or a natal chart built for intensity—emotion doesn’t just exist, it erupts.

And we’re not broken because of it.

“It’s already there. So, what do I do with it? How do I get a grip on it? That’s what I’m struggling with. That is the square, you know? The internal struggle.”

This isn’t drama. It’s wiring. It’s fire trying to find form.

The problem isn’t that we feel too much. It’s that we’re forced to dampen, swallow, or perform in systems that reward quiet compliance and punish passionate presence.

“I live in a house where I feel like I need to be super gentle… And I’m soft—but not compared to you guys. I’m having to hold it all back.”

Sound familiar?

If your nervous system flares during conflict, if you feel a storm coming long before the words arrive, if your body demands movement before your mind can find peace—you’re not too much, you’re just wired for war in a culture built for sedation.

“If you’re using it to be destructive… where you’re causing fights and starting fires everywhere you go unnecessarily… then yeah, it can become destructive. But I don’t see it like I’m using anger manipulatively. It’s just there. And I need to transmute it.” -Starlite The Oracle

This is Mars medicine. To transmute, not suppress. To train the fire—not drown it.

And we need environments that honor that.

“I don’t have anywhere to fight for. I don’t have any daily mission. I don’t have a war to go to war for—except through the digital. And that’s not good for me.”

Too many of us are living like tigers in cages. Burning silently. Begging our bodies to play nice while the world tells us to sit still, smile more, stay manageable.

But rage is intelligent. It tells us where we’ve been caged. Where we’ve compromised. Where we’ve abandoned our own knowing just to stay palatable.

“I need to perform. I need to be giving speeches. I need to be doing dance routines. I need to be expressing. When I was young—I was so good. I really brought it.”

This is a love letter to the women and men who feel like they’re constantly trying to tone it down just to make others comfortable.

We don’t need to tone it down. We need to train it, honor it, and channel it.

We need fire. We need movement. We need meaning.

“I have to be out there fighting. Taking initiative. Showing up for a good fight—for the people, for myself, for athletics, or whatever. You get what I’m saying?”

Yes. We get it.

This is your sign to stop apologizing for your edge. Your fire is sacred. Your fight is holy. Reclaim it.
