I had a horrible experience with a Professor when I was still in college and to this day I feel somewhat threatened by Professors. I don't run into them but considering my interest in continuing my education it seems I'll be running into a lot of them. I'll have to learn how to let that past experience not cloud my perception of other teachers but it's hard.

I have Mars in Aries and I'm a fighter at heart (a peaceful fighter of course Libra Sun) and I don't get territorial but I can be pretty assertive. I'm sensitive to power struggles because I feel like I attract them. People who want to battle it out to prove their strength or authority. To de-power me in a sense because I think they might be threatened by my power, I'm really not sure. But it happens to me at an abnormally high rate. They do say with Mars in the 1st to engage with the world means to cross swords with it. It might be Mars in the 1st.

My Mars is in Aqua conj my ASC. It squares my Venus AND my Moon (the apex fo the t-sq).
It trines Uranus in the 8th in Libra.
So, even though I do seem to attract people who like to power-struggle with me, or just provoke me into some kind of confrontation, my Mars is eventually Venusian (Uranus in Libra), won't feel like "crossing swords".
And like Libras, I find that I don't enjoy being put in this position at all.
It's kind of embarrassing actually.
The Uranian side will simply ignore you if you ever put me in this position.
I wish I was more Aries in my Mars energy because my Sun is fiery (Sag) and can fight alright if she must! So, it's a bit frustrating too.

Yeah, I strongly dislike fights and conflicts. I don't enjoy anyone demanding things of me or entering my personal space without consent. I can be an angel until that moment and then my Mars in Aries/1st gets all fired up. I can control it though.

I already said my mars is in sagittarius. what else do you want to know?? Also, there's no need to be rude about it.

I trust the flow of events in my life.. to take me wherever I'm supposed to be and I trust God. This has always worked out for me.

I also (despite being human and having my occasional flare-ups and annoyances) care a lot about other people, even when I might be upset with someone... even when someone has hurt me. Because I can understand that we're all in this together and no one is perfect - so obviously people can hurt each other and make mistakes or do crazy things.

No one feels good about these things in the end... Everyone feels guilty.
No one actually wants to have enemies.. or to be involved in constant power struggles.. even the people who seem to start them. What happens in a flare-up or a feud is that a lot of words and sometimes fists are thrown around... a lot of things are said.. a lot of negative actions are taken.. and in the end everyone regrets that it has ever happened. But at that point they can no longer take it back... and sometimes they keep going on auto-pilot... because that seems easier than to put their egos aside and say "sorry".
The whole thing is sad on a spiritual level.. and I try not to end up in these situation.. but I'm far from perfect.
