(Taken from "Person-to-Person Astrology: Energy Factors in Love, Sex & Compatibility" by Stephen Arroyo)

MARS IN THE AIR SIGNS..

Rationalized their anger or philosophized about it. Generally, they felt that they were not quick to anger, but when they did express anger or anything remotely violent, they often felt depressed about it and often simply "hated" the person who caused them to display such uncivilized behaviour. In general, there was an avoidance of incendiary activity, as well as a relatively low level of interests in athletics (this was, however, a smalk group, many pro athletes have Mars in Air signs). But all in all, they were very much "head people", who prefer to think out rather than act out their problems. I personally have found that an assault on their intelligence more than anything else, can proke quick anger, a competitive attempt to prove their mental power, and, at times, considerable resentment.

MARS IN GEMINI:
Anger in these folks can manifest as argumentiveness, pickness, or nasty slight; but in general this is not a sign known for displays of hostility or aggressive intensity. They would rather forget the irritation and put their energies into their next new interest, perhaps thinking that the one who irritated them simply, doesn't know how to communicate.

MARS IN LIBRA:
In the ultimate pacifist sign Mars rarely demonstrates real uncontrolled emotional destructiveness, at least in, the presence of anyone other than their best partner. They often hold strong opinions and may resent others forcing them to argue about them, but -all in all- these folks would rather avoid people, situatiins, or environments that make them feek resentful or angry.

MARS IN AQUARIUS:
Attacks on their political, social, or idealistic concepts are most apt to provoke an angry reactiin, although these folks will try, to maintain control as long as possible, especially because they pride themselves on their rational and objective approach to life. Basically, challenging them in an area in which they feel that THEY KNOW for sure may bring about some ego-centered expression of irritation.

MARS IN THE EARTH SIGNS...
found that anger made them tired. They did not enjiy expressing anger whatsoever, and suppressing it evidently took alot of energy. They had a tendency to hold onto anger and grudges and to cut off oeople who provoked them to such "negative energy". In general, they preferred not to be disturbed by others' behaviour that provoked anger. Most did better under pressure and deadlines as far as energy efficiency and channeling anger were concerned. In other words, the group was evaluated to be a "veritable bunch of potential workaholics" who quite spontaneously sublimated anger into productivity.

MARS IN TAURUS:
Since I am writing this in Spain, I cannot help but use the image of the slow-to-anger bull in the traditional blood sport of Spain. He meanders about, would prefer to be left in peace, but eventually -if continually prodded and tormented- he paws the ground gathering his strength and determination, and then charges with tremendous power. Because Taurus a Venus sign, thise with this sign will generally prefer tranquility to fighting, but they are nevertheless stubbornly fixed on their desires.

MARS IN VIRGO:
Anger upsets them physically, especially the nerve
s and intestines, and they often direct irritation upon themselves since they almost instinctively assume that they are so imperfect as to be likely at fault. But if the anger is directed toward another persin, it can be quite vindictive and harshly critical of the other person.

MARS IN CAPRICORN:
Controlled anger is the keynote here, and rarely does Capricorn Mars really lose control of hostile feelings, at least not in public! But these people are very aelf-directed and goal oriented, and they will patiently evaluate what might be an appropriate channel for that emotion, sometimes leading to a power play or authoritarian leveling of an enemy or competitor.

MARS IN THE WATER SIGNS..
Generally had some difficulty expressing their anger, especially since this group was composed of idealistic and mediator types who were called by the group "aggressive pacifists". Some tended towards tears when frustrated, and felt guilt after letting anger explode outwardly. Overall, I found that this group harbors undercurrants of anger that are allowed to build up over time, sometimes to the point where the anger is affecting judgment or behavior without the person consciously being aware of its intensity.

MARS IN CANCER:
They will hide the anger as long as possible, but it seeps out into the atmosphere, and they will try to avoid you if you provoked it in them. Their digestion reacts horribly to anger, and they may not be able to eat at all.

MARS IN SCORPIO:
When angry, they completely clam up, brood forebodingly, and seethe until steam is visibly coming out the ears! Then in some people and situations, a huge explosion ensues wherein the rage expressed can be very destructive and completely irrational, and hard to forgive. These folks take decades to forgive a betrayal or unjust personal attack.

MARS IN PISCES:
Not usually as quick to anger as most signs, perhaps because they have less ego and also because they often wouldn't notice an offense or take it so personally as others would. But when they do feel anger, it is very difficult for them to express it because they simultaneously sympathize with the one who caused the offense.

MARS IN FIRE SIGNS..
Seem to be the only group that sometimes actually enjoys expressing anger. There is almost always a certain impatience and often a tendency toward quick temper. Those in this group all tended toward explosive behaviour at times and judged themselves to have very high expectations of themselves and others, which of course can lead to irritation if these needs are not met. All in this group were specialists in some creative field, but each had individual ways of dealing with anger: for example heaving drinking to drown it (a woman); breaking inanimate objects at one point in life (a man); and problematic explosive aggressiveness (a man).

MARS IN ARIES:
They seem to be angrier than they are, because they are simply always impatient and have to blow off steam, which others take too seriously and which they themselves forget two minutes later.

MARS IN LEO:
Anger can stem from hurt pride, so don't ever question their loyalty or integrity, or fail to pay enough attention to their demonstrations of generosity. They often demand attention, full credit for their actions, and/or substantial respect and can be extrwmely irritated if it's not forthcoming.

MARS IN SAGITTARIUS:
In angry responses, they often project an aurs of self-righteousness and/or righteous indignation. They may never communicate with you again if you demean their high ideals, offend their exalted opinion of themselves and their beliefs, or point out their failures to live up to them themselves.

I have definitely thrown stuff around when I was younger and anything within reach was liable to be thrown into the opposite wall. I once kicked a steel door in anger...my toes have yet to forgive me for that indiscretion.

When younger, which is like a few years ago, I had often had people telling me that I looked like I was gonna blow off at any time which I found to be highly disconcerting ad inaccurate because I do consider myself to have the patience of a saint. It's only in recent years that I have stopped looking all surly and rage-y which may lull people into a false sense of security because I still am me. The frustration thing is a very Aries trait and I had a tendency to take out my anger at whosoever was near me regardless of who it was who had provoked me initially. I've learnt now that this is extremely unfair and the only one who deserves my anger is the one who provoked me in the first place [Venus in Libra and all that jazz].

As an example, last year, I had this guy who would call me up wanting to be my "friend" and I wouldn't pick up his calls. Ever. One day, I was in the kitchen making a meal for my sister and me and had left my cell in the room. He called and my sis who had no idea of the situation picked it up and brought it to me. I was ****** at him calling and I had been in the kitchen for a while and it was summer on top of everything else.

I walked into my room and went Rambo on the guy and told him that if I ever heard his voice again, "I will find you and reach down your throat and rip out your tongue with my bare hands!".

My poor sis was so scared because I don't raise my voice too often and apologised but I told her it wasn't her fault and to give me a few moments to calm down and also, the food was ready and she could eat. See, I'm such a saint

RedScorp, I like your link. The taurus sun description as applied to my mars was off, I'm not vindictive at all. However, the pisces sun one was right at least about people thinking I'm cute when I'm mad. Sooo enraging when you're already (finally) worked up! Lol now I take it as a compliment though (granted I'm not mad right now lol) I've never dramatically smashed anything but I have slammed down a coaster and chipped it lol

I also have this thing where, when I can finally tell that I am getting angry, I'll calmly tell them 'I'm getting really angry right now' lol and they usually do not believe me and I have to repeat it many times with more 'reallys' in it. I also try to 'show' them I'm angry by stamping my right foot lol Sooo taurean. If that doesn't work I'll do it again with a 'fist shake' accompaniment. Here's where they tell me I'm 'cute' lol.

When I was a kid I had a girl that was really mean to me at school and I was getting angry about it but didn't know how to show it. So I went home one night and practiced making what I thought were 'angry' faces so I could 'show' her. I decided on one and, when she cut in front of me in the lunch line the next day, I tapped her on the shoulder and showed her my 'angry' face. Her and her friend thought I was making a silly face joke and laughed and proceeded in line. I went home exhausted that night and cried because my dumb face couldn't show I was angry. I just avoided the girls til they left me alone. Lol the young trials of a pisces with mars in taurus!

Yup, I've seen it happen time and time again throughout my life. It's partly due to it being unexpected, it's more impactive and will stand out in your mind.

LOL I like that movie! I usually want to speak something besides English (my native). I'll usually just get frustrated as I want to speak in MULTIPLE languages and then no one will understand, and I'd be mixing words and forgetting words. -Except when I was in Peru. I went OFF on these Peruvian men in Spanish for trying to scam me because they thought I was rich. They kept me from macchu picchu dammit! My Spanish told them the hell off LOL

I don't know what forum rules here suggests, but I do know astro.com allow 10 lines, plus appropriate "marks" or quote box and source cited.

on astrologyweekly they allow 100words plus using qutoe box and/or "mars" and no more than 3 quotes per post...

just be careful is what I'm saying as it's not this site that's liable, but YOU personally...and leaving yourself open to legal action

*ding*

Except I'm still able to eat, I'll just pay for it with horrible indigestion afterwards. It all goes to the stomach in some way with Mars in Cancer.

Everything that goes against my pretty anarchistic approach of society is indeed very difficult to accept! Thinking about all the 'ínjustice' in the world too deep/much makes me really..
TAKING 'life' as it IS and the reflection of that in people's words, deeds, thoughts, actions.. can be extremely irritating in specific situations.
