sigh. It's very trying at times.
I think we expend aloooooot of mental energy and the physical falls short.

But, what Mars is Libra does well, is strategize. (sp) In other words, we'll sit around, appearing to be doing nothing, zoning in front of the tv, but actually we are formulating a detailed plan of action.

We do this all time.

Going on vacation... pack 10 minutes before leaving. Yet, never forget anything..

Have to move house? Wait until current house has less than 24 hours to be vacated, and move ALL the furniture ourselves (two mars libra/ team) and then fall into an exhausted heap on floor.

I could go on and on.. snow shoveling, christmas shopping, leaf blowing..

Trust me, "what-ifs" as i call them, can keep you up you up for hours and hours. I've tried reading, tea, meditation, counting sheep, baths, listening to music while you go to sleep(i always do this actually), and all kinds of other stuff.

My advice from one mars in sag to another, read or write before bed - it realllly helps to get your thoughts out somewhere, sometimes i'll make a list of everything that i'm thinking about or have to do or feel like i have to process, and then it's easier to let it go, because it's documented in some way. Also, try turning off the computer/tv an hour before going to bed (i'm bad at this one), and the big one, make sure you're getting ENOUGH physical exercise (but NOT before bed, not to sound like your mom but you need to unwind....seriously), it'll help you sleep, and give you somewhere to put all that energy. Seriously, I have 3 planets in sag, and i was the most depressed when i wasn't active, i couldn't BELIEVE the change getting back to being active had in my life.

I used to write in my journal a lot before i went to sleep when I had lots on my mind and yu know it did help me because I already had thought through those current thoughts that I was contented enough to sleep. I've been meaning to do that again! And I should be active anyway lol everyone should :P Being active is something I have a hard time with.

If people are so open minded why can't they get along with a close minded person?

I think the mars sign is only strong , depending on the agenda at hand.

Mars in Aries- strong when starting something , but not that great at keeping it going.

Mars in Aries works best independently when initiating a project or something that lets them work alone. They have great ideas,usualy, but don't have follow through and can be impatient with following protocol.

Mars in taurus- Slow to get inspired, let alone started. But when at it,when finaly they find their rythm, they can work themselves dead(how "beneficail " is that?).

This sign is the most likely to just "keep at it". The energy levels are steAdy and consisitant. Good at keeping a habit, bad at breaking one.

Mars in Gemini-Good at talking and thinking on their feet. Not so good when it comes to paying attention. they have a very short attention span.

Also, their energy levels are likely to be all over the place.Its likely that they'll be seen to be"multi-tasking" but getting very little actualy "done".

Mars in cancer- Unpredictable mood swings and overwhelming feelings tend to have these people working their butts off one minute and then procrastinating the next.
Their energy levels are the least stable(true), but Mars is Cancer goes beyond the call of duty when in a position of taking care of others or seeing to another's well-being. When they see a project as their "baby",they can be suprisingly consistant in seeing to it that the project flourishes.

Mars in Leo- Personally, I've always thought this position to be a little lazy(despite this reputation being alluded to the Taurus/Libra placements). My Sister and Dad have this position and I have never seen them being passionate or energized by anything.I think that this energy goes to self-enhancement or being "seen". Competition(much like Aries) to be the "best" usually gets these people energized. They pride themselves on being seen "way up there." Usually, however, the pressure is placed on themselves.

Mars in Virgo- Herein is the paradox, I find the mercurian energy levels most alert and alive with this position. But, it is likely that the Mars in Virgo will do something, then redo it(to make it better) then yet again because the last time , it just wasn't "good enough".

The end result is that they get lost in the details of what they start off to accomplish and get very little actualy "done."

The opposite is also true: That the Mars in Virgo could end up being so overwhelmed by the details involved in starting something; the energy, resources and time they'll have to put in, that they end up not even trying at all. And then they get the reputation of being "lazy."

I often see this position inpeople who like to work "at the last minute" , when the pressure is at its peak.

Mars in libra- This dreaded Mars positioon in my experience, is not as "lazy" and "lacking in energy" as often written about.

What I do notice, however , is that decision-nmaking is prolonged and thus so is action. The energy is usualy geared towards teamwork and anything that involves a "goup effort".

Its not that Mars in Libra cannot work alone, but it is often the case that, in the wings, there is someone whom they are likely to bounce their ideas off. Mars in Libra doesn't entirely trust their own insticts and often relies on their ideas to be evaluted from an "objective" point of view. This is how they disassociate with their inner intuition.

sounds like me.

i have a lot of desires but i've always been "disabled" to act on them because of psychological traumas and blocks caused by them. sometimes my Leo Mars just want to scream and jump out of that cage.

the virgo description is absolutely great. only one thing: i don't like pressure. but it's true that i work best when i need to, like to a deadline or more specifically in my case: getting up early is a thing that i have to do every day, and this is the very reason i can do it. the outside observer may call this tendency laziness...
