In a more familiar situation - such as with family, friends or a mate - I do almost the same thing, but I am more likely to react and say something like "Hey...what do you think you are doing?" I try not to tell because I hate being yelled at, but I find myself at times trying to match the other person's volume level.

There have only been a few times that I outright screamed at a person unless I was really pushed to a certain point or felt as though I was being attacked.

I will usually start out with a look and if that doesn't shut them up I will make a few comments. Normally, I wait until I have that person alone.

I have Venus In Sagittarius at 16 degrees and Mars in Pisces at 1 degree. My moon is in Aries and Sun in Sag (My Merc is in Capricorn).

My ex has his Venus and Mars in Leo- Merc / Sun in Virgo and Moon in Gemini.

He had a major temper and would throw tantrums - yelling and throwing things. After years of this, I finally got so angry at him one day that I threw a picture at a wall and watched it break. He was speechless because my temper is not like that - and I just quietly said "Now you know how horrible it feels to be the one that has to observe that"

My fiance, Sun Taurus / Moon Virgo / Venus Cancer (11 degrees) Mars in Pisces (24 degrees) also has one of those tempers where he yells and throws things. He may put up with some things and be even keeled, but once he becomes irritated he can go from 0-50 in milliseconds.

We talked about this type of topic this morning. TO him, being irritated brings on an almost visceral reaction. To me, being irritated is like someone coming up and just tapping you over and over again on the arm or like a fly buzzing around your head. It is annoying and I might say something, but I forget it soon after. Not him, he will hold on to that feeling for days- then just get over it.

I have never seen him angry, he has never even seen me close to angry- I get upset or mad, but it is rare that I get explosive and I don't normally hold on to it like a grudge...unless the person has really hurt me or someone I love.

I think you are right about that. I have a Moon-opposition- Uranus aspect with both squaring Mercury.

I would say that generally i am introverted, unless someone starts raising their voice, is really rude or challenges me.Then i get very angry where my blood starts to boil and i feel like i am going to punch them in the face! I never have but i have been in a couple of heated arguments where we were in each others face. I really do avoid conflict but when someone pushes me too far they better watch out.

I'm more likely to throw tantrum then storm off. Very Leo I think

BUT it takes a lot to get me angry. Unless you hit a nerve of course.

I hate being told what to do, or being judged.

Okay

I guess it depends on how you define "showing" anger. I rarely get upset, but when I do... people feel it flow off me and then they clear the room. The more daring people will probably check my face out before they leave.

Compromise is my middle name with Mercury and Uranus in Libra. If someone wants to know why I'm mad, I'll "roar" the reason.

when I cant shout at a person(like a teacher etc),I lock myself up in a room and scream my head off with full moshing music playing.

breaking stuff used to be a problem but thats kinda more or less gone of now,anger used to be a huge problem when I was a kid,my grandfather caught hold of me and made me meditate for half an hour everyday to reduce it,it kinda worked,it's reduced a lot...

As with the anger part, I am not easily angered...but if you do anger me, chances are I won't even want to see your ugly face for months, if ever again.

Working on the silly "I messages"

I think I act a bit diff with different ppl. If I have a fight with my bf I'll go completely quiet and not say anything to him at all..It's like system shut down or something. I do that because I'm hurt and don't wanna exteriorise, but also because a teeny tiny part of me knows that works with him - yep manipulative, I know.. But I honestly am hurt as well. It's not something I do TO matipulate, but that is part of it.

If I have a fight with my mum, I try to go quiet and let it blow over but.... she's a leo lol that says it all .. na jk .. but she just doesn't let me go quiet, she yells more if I do (because she figures I'm not paying attention to her) so she 'makes me' argue -literaly .. but even when I argue it's more like 'quiet quiet quiet SCREAM.. quiet quiet'. Though things I say quietly may come accross as more cutting then me just screaming so I don't know which is worse.

Typing this I realised, they're basically the two ppl I argue with. I haven't had any arguments with anyone else in a long long time. Maybe that goes with Mars in the 7th (close relationships) so I express my anger with ppl who are closest to me not everyone else. With someone who is an aquaintance or a distant friend (who I don't see often) or a stranger, I'd make my point if I disagree to them but i wouldn't turn it into an argument. If they said something to me that was expressively insulting or shadowboxing (something that shows dis-respect I guess.. because I have respect for everyone and I'd expect the same) that's the only time where I'd feel compelled to put them in their place. But that never happens normally anyways.

I go through two extremes... I either snap at a any little thing that’s annoying me, or it takes a lot to get my engines revving...

If you get me on a good day, it’ll be a short-lived outburst, and on a bad day...you’d curse the day you ever met me...

I really am a nice person in general, until someone double-crosses me, and if that’s the case, then they will suffer the latter of my two extremes...
