quote: We do fight to death and turn from best friends to worst enemies all Libra Marses I know are the kind to interfere in a conflict in the street where everyone fears to intervene or the first to jump in a stormy sea to save an unknown fellow, so everyone calling Mars in Libra cowards, think again! and check the famous Mars in Libra people and what they stand for.
Actually, this reminds me of the only time I’ve ever been punched by anyone. I stepped in to stop a fight from happening and I ended up being punched.

Well, we will have to agree to disagree. Cat calling from a stranger isn’t something that I (not I bet your friend neither) think needs standing up for. Just ignore them. That’s not really what friendship is _all_ about. It’s about mutual respect as well and accepting other people’s differences. This friend doesn’t believe saving you a situation like that is really necessary. I’d bet if you were attack out of nowhere then she probably would try to save you. Two very different situations.

So is this how a Scorpio in Mars woman would handle catcallers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVO3sNcJ7A8 IP: Logged |

Being picky is generally associated with Libra and Virgo, yes. We need to see aspects to give a better answer. Generally, this mars severely lacks the impulse that makes a maritian a maritian. Libra mars can be considered inefficient. They would rather "beat around the bush" than come right out with it, which answers a few of your questions. More aggressive mars easily outrank this mars in terms of results, because they're indecisive and waste time. I'm not impeding the ability of this mars to get ANY results, btw. I strongly believe every mars can accomplish something. However, the passivity and non confrontational behaviour is why this mars is in detriment. Edit: I forgot to add, be careful of holding onto unhealthy resentments. Find an outlet for your anger, doesn't have to be violent. IP: Logged |

Mars in Libra is a strategist.. We can manipulate how something will turn out (like an argument) bc we are able to see where it's going, thus play our hand accordingly. It is an AIR Mars after all. So thinking is going to be the oompf behind the action.IP: Logged |

An example of passive aggressive bullying would be pretending to be wanting to help but intentionally giving wrong information, or saying "you should join me and my friends" only to pretend such an invite was never given and the group excludes (because the passive aggressive bully has already poisoned them against the target).
People actually do stuff like this? That sounds like such a waste of time to me. I just wouldn't invite them or help them lol I'd pretend they didn't even exist!!! I hate when people are fake so I'd never go out of my way to be that way. But a person will know if I don't like them just by me simply not dealing with them or talking to them. And if it came down to it they could ask me and I'd be upfront about it and tell them why I don't care for them..but in the nicest way possible of course .
I think my Mercury in Gemini opposite Uranus in Sag exact is what over shadows my ability to be passive/aggressive. It's like I can't help myself and you need to know how I feel about you whether good or bad. My Mars in Libra shows up in other ways that have less to do with other people. As a matter of fact it's in my second house and I have an idea of a small start up business that I want to do, but I'm dragging my butt because I'm not sure if it would be successful..so I have an idea just brewing but with no action. I can be that way in the bedroom too. I can be in the mood but instead of just initiating I go back and forth until I finally decide to make a move and it could take me about 20 mins to decide lol it sucks sometimes. IP: Logged |

I am curious what kind of bully a Libra Mars can be (I hope other aspects are included as in the case of Swanlake's sister), especially the tactics and the reasons the Libra Mars gives for knowingly trying to demean or even terrorize someone repeatedly (many bullies will, no matter how stupid the reasons may sound to someone else, and I'd expect a Libran bully could write an essay on why they're targeting someone for abuse--not to say they therefore have good reason to, only that I'd expect they'd GIVE a reason that at least sounded good to themselves and be willing to share those reasons with others, especially when trying to get others to join in with the Libra). I could see passive aggressive, but a lot of that is just perspective. Someone trying to avoid a conflict can inaccurately be called passive aggressive just as someone who tells you straight up without any games can be called a rude jerk. For many people it's really more an expression of how they feel about you rather than your behavior and can praise the very same behavior in someone else that they do like (or whose side they take), which is to say it's more of a subjective judgment based on feelings than an objective one based on behavior. The absolutely worst are those who just use the strongest words they can think of which is meant to show how much they really dislike the person (and why you should, too) rather than expressing clear ideas and I hope that's not the case in this thread (but I don't think it is in this case, especially as the OP herself said she could be one).

Totally agree with this. An angry Mars in Libra can use words in s lethal way, especially if you have done something to offend their sense of justice. I know of an extreme case with Sun in Virgo, Moon in Aries and Mars in Libra. His modus operandi is either to pick on or criticize a person relentlessly until s/he has finally had enough and takes the bait which is his cue to turn on the victim and blame him/her for being aggressive OR he will complain bitterly under his breath about everything and anything until everyone around him is thoroughly miserable because they feel so bad that they have not lived up to his expectations of perfection. He is very reactive due to his Aries Moon, and believes he has to shout at people to get them to listen. His core belief is that he is very hard done by in life - it is all so unfair. He finds it difficult to take joy in other people's success, as he feels that this happens only because they have an unfair advantage of some kind (that he doesn't have). Basically, he thinks that most people are unreliable, incompetent idiots who take no pride in their work or themselves and he doesn't suffer these "fools" gladly. On the plus side, he is very motivated to work exceptionally hard to get things done right down to the smallest detail .... I suppose this is only fair (libra) if he expects perfection from everyone else! IP: Logged |

In my sister's case, yes there are other aspects (eg she has 8th house stellium incl Sun/Pluto)which would account for the sheer force behind her verbal assaults..The thing is she herself believes that the fact of having mars in Libra makes her "fair". But she is not fair. When in attack mode, She goes all out and (in machine gun fire mode) says all the nastiest things she can think of, (just as you describe above) designed to cause pain, ..which I could never bring myself to do, no matter how angry. I'm thinking that the bully side of Libra Mars,(when triggered) must have something to do with the fact of being opposite Aries, although I'm not sure how it works. Maybe it reverts to it's polar opposite? IP: Logged |

I do the same thing as your sister, Swanlake. I also have 8th h Sun, and it squares Pluto. Plus my merc is in Scorpio. I will not be pushed around, ever. But of I love someone I will go above and beyond for them. All the bad behavior comes into play only if I've felt taken advantage of by them. And when it gets to that verbal backlash part it's because I've felt that way far too long and can't hold it in anymore. Of course COMMUNICATING this before it gets to this point would be far more effective. But libra does not want to make waves and will suck it up at the expense of self.IP: Logged |

I only know one person with this placement, and I have to say - I am epically not a fan. Maybe it's because this particular person's Mars conjuncts my ASC very tightly, but I have never met someone that likes to pick a fight more (at least with me)! Not sure if this is due to Libra Mars, but his need for intellectual domination is overwhelming. Strangely, no matter how many times I blow him off or shut him down, he continually seeks contact with me! gah...------------------ Sun -> Aries Moon -> Sagittarius Ascendant -> Virgo IP: Logged |
