Also the position of Mars can show the way a person would fight in life, that is , either legally or illegally. Since Mars is an aggressive planet, it is considered a natural malefic, but defines the will power of a person.

Mars in the 7th house being an aggressive planet creates turbulence, argumentativeness, and conflict of wills in a relationship with lots of drama. It also provides you with a high degree of passion and drives to explore sexuality. Mars also bless with young looking, highly sexual, energetic, and extrovert partners.

Sun shows Government and Mars shows soldier and both these group of people need each other to function better in the society and that's why both these planets can mutually co-operate well. But as always if a planet comes too close to the Sun, it becomes combust and so if Mars comes too close degree wise, then Sun burns the good qualities of Mars. This means that during the initial years of your life you can be a timid person but as the time passes and Mars matures, after 28, you will gain courage and become a warrior like person. You can work for the Government and that too on high positions or whichever field of work that needs a lot of fighting. This conjunction/mutual relationship makes you a highly competitive person in the area of life that falls under the house where this conjunction/mutual relationship takes place in your chart.
