On the positive side, Mars OOB can give generous amounts of ambition, courage, self confidence, masculine energy, daring, boldness, drive, physical vitality, passion, will power, stamina, adventure, and leadership ability. Katherine Hepburn is an excellent example of Mars OOB. Her unconventionality has been well documented: she refused to wear makeup off-screen, she did not give interviews, she refused to give autographs, she did not wear skirts, and in fact famously walked around in her underwear because the costume department stole her boyish slacks. There is no way anyone tells this headstrong lady what to do! She mischievously commented "if you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun!". She is admired for her her independence, powerful voice, ability to go head to head with her male co-stars, her unapologetic honesty, and tell it like it is attitude. She was certainly daring; she insisted on doing all her own stunts because the stunt women never stood up straight enough. Katherine certainly made her mark on the world, she earned 12 Academy award nominations and won 4 of them for best actress, this record has never been beat. In addition, her 60 year long career has been filled with 44 feature films, 8 television movies, and 33 plays. Her enthusiasm, ambition and sense of adventure cannot be denied!
Frida Kahlo is an example of a very rare OOB Mars at 28 degrees. Frida was a famous Mexican painter, best known for her self portraits and works influenced by indigenous Mexican culture, realism, symbolism, and surrealism. Immediately striking is her masculine facial structure and features, she even had a mustache and unibrow! Her 200 paintings are her autobiography: they all relate to her painful emotional and physical experiences and her passionate/ stormy relationship with her lover Diego Rivera. Recall that Mars represents a "me first" attitude, for good or for ill, people with a highlighted Mars are very much focused on themselves and their life experiences. Seeing things from other people's perspective does not come easily to them. Mars also represents the body, physical vitality, and stamina. When Frida was 6, she got Polio and her right leg and foot were permanently deformed, thus she had to hobble when walking. When she was 18, she was in a traffic accident that caused extreme injuries and left her immobile and in intense pain for months. During this time she was alone most of the time and painted numerous paintings of herself. She explains "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best"......"I never painted dreams....I painted my own reality". Given the extent to which Mars is OOB in Frida's chart, it is no surprise that her body preoccupied her attention and that she underwent extreme suffering. She endured more than 35 operations, amputation of her right leg due to gangrene, had to terminate three pregnancies, and was confined to a hospital or bedridden for months at a time through the course of her entire life. Frida was a remarkable woman, celebrated for her courage, endurance, passion, colorful character, and striking portraits that continue to fascinate us to this day.

There is also a much less pleasant manifestation of OOB Mars. Mars OOB can cause a person to be excessively aggressive, dangerously violent, rash, brutal, angry, impulsive, self centered, sexually sadistic, excessively forceful, and have a tendency to pick unprovoked fights. Patrick Kearney (also known as the freeway killer) is a serial killer who brutally murdered over 30 homosexual men and young boys. He had a predictable routine for the murders. After picking them up in his car and while driving he shot them, sexually assaulted the dead bodies, dismembered and mutilated the bodies and then dumped the body parts in trash bags along highways and desserts between Los Angeles and Mexico.
