Could this mean that due to the lack of Mars energy, my muscles grow slower in the gym? How is that work?
Yes, but even with abundant Mars energy the following are requirements, so make sure you meet them:
- Healthy sleep quality
- Healthy diet, with an adequate surplus of calories, an appropriate amount of protein, and little to no alcohol especially preceding sleep time (average time to process 1 unit of alcohol is 2h, while the units of alcohol in a drink varies by percentage, so Google is your friend there, and you need to aim to have processed all ingested alcohol before sleeping)
- A suitable training plan, and actually focusing on the exercises you're doing instead of podcasts / music / etc. Mindfulness rather than absent-mindedness. I'm not saying don't listen to music. All I'm saying is that music is background, not point of focus. Podcast are bad advice from self-appointed life gurus who cater mainly to an audience that goes to the gym for health reasons rather than muscle growth aims.
If the above are all on point, while your Mars energy is brought in a healthy range and you still struggle to gain muscle, then there can be issues of other kinds to address such as hormonal, psychological, and so on. But the majority of people tend to blame those layers when they don't even have any consistency with the basic physiological and logical needs mentioned above.
It's also worth mentioning that pumping yourself with Mars energy won't absolve anyone of an otherwise bad lifestyle when it comes to sleep, nutrition, and training load management.
If you need further information on healthy sleep / diet / alcohol, feel free to consult other topics where I speak about it, and ask questions under them.
All the best.

@Aleksios : inhaling the colour red, programming it for muscle growth, and visualising the process and desired outcome also helps very powerfully with muscle growth, based on personal experience.
