Sign, house, and aspect change the meaning
Mars describes a function, but the sign shows style, the house shows the life area, and aspects show how that function interacts with the rest of the chart.
That is why the planet page is a starting point, not the whole interpretation.
How to use this in a chart reading
First locate Mars: its sign, house, and major aspects. Then ask where the themes of action, desire become visible in real life.
That keeps the reading concrete and prevents one symbol from swallowing the whole chart.
