Her Mars personality is that she tends to get defensive easily, has temper fits when upset, and can resort to yelling. When she is upset, its like a firework display in that the the emotion is very obvious but short lived. She calms down after the upset runs its course, and moves on easily.

Despite being easily provoked, she does not enjoy arguments or look for confrontation. She does have a big ego, and wounding her pride is a big no no.

Does this sound more like a Mars in the 1st or a Mars in the 12th?

Thanks

a fire mars regardless of house, has a natural ease in expressing the emotion of anger assertively as you describe.

the house does not influence how a mars will deal with the emotion of anger.

you need to look at the MOON and its aspects for emotion. and the mars sign and its aspects for how it expresses it. Everybody goes through the emotion of anger.

if you wnat to figure out the house of a planet, you have to look at where that planet is expressing its self, or taking place in which area of life.

with mars it should be easy, since it will "DO" in the area of life of the house its in.

with mars in sag in the 12th, person could be very passionate, and a bit of a preacher in some kind of faith, perhaps religion. maybe medicine, or some kind of service. something 12th house themed.

There are some great replies here.

I can only offer you this, I have mars in Aries which is meant to be pretty upfront and confrontational with their anger expression, right?

Well, its safely buried in my 4th house.
People are always surprised how I don't react, even in situations where reaction is justified and even expected. I never show anger outwardly, because I bury it so deep and implode internally.

Even with a fire mars, the water house placement submerges it almost completely.

So, I would assert that your friends perhaps has a 1st house mars (is she speedy? does she have a short attention span? does she instigate action within your social group? is she a do-er? does she hate sitting around and waiting for things to happen to her, but rather prefers herself to happen to other things?) or a Mars-Asc conjunction (from the 12th).

Self is the 1st.
One does not have to be the aggressor in order to channel a 1st house Mars.

If this native has water or earth placements modulating that fiery mars, then the action of this mars may indeed be turned to a defensive rather than offensive stance.

A 12th house mars wouldn't have the self-confidence or energy to act defensive to begin with.

You got a point about the 12th house Mars being too shut down to show direct anger lol

Her voice is distinctive, clear with good speech. Her speech does turn to colorful words when upset =). She does get very annoyed with traffic, and gets mild road rage. Otherwise, she does not like to come across as unintelligent and is careful when communicating her thoughts.

She is a go getter, makes things happen, and tells it as she sees it. She gets impatient and bored easily,and has a tendency to take tasks onto herself to see them through. In a team setting, she gets frustrated with slackers and prefers to do things her own way.
