I just wanted a little info on it. How are Mars in libra natives? I am a Virgo sun Gemini moon libra Mars. Does anyone agree with these personality traits I blame on my Mars in libra1.) very picky and indecisive with food and drink 2.) quietly vengeful. Often I wish I was a goddess of karma. I will wish hard bad karma on people I feel deserve it justifiably or take charge and bring their karma to them myself by getting them back in a discreet way. 3.) can become a bully when on REALLY bad terms with a person and provoked 4.) calm but the scales always waiver 5.) love of libran fashion sense. The elegance, neutral tones, long hair, matte lipstick (which sometimes conflicts my Leo Venus and wanting to dye my hair light colors blonde like the sun and west bright patterned clothing) 6.) indecisive 7.) wants peace but will battle it out IP: Logged |

What aspects do you have to your Mars? The 2nd and 3rd ones are the only ones I wouldn't associate with Libran energy. IP: Logged |

All Libra Mars people I knew were cowards. They might hold grudges, but they never took revenge. They'd actually remain friends with people who "wronged" them. They'd rather complain about them to friends in common than to just confront and face whatever it was that bothered them. They'd do everything to avoid confrontation. I read this is quite a Libra Mars trait.A ex Leo friend of mine who had this Mars once said to me after I answered a catcall by telling the guy to f*** off, that if the guy had come at me to beat me or smth she'd just step away and pretend she didn't know me lol. Please don't take it personally but, IMO this is the worst Mars one can have. And the worst Libra placement. IP: Logged |

Being very picky about food sounds more like a Virgo trait. Mars doesn't have a lot to do with fashion by itself (save maybe influencing what kind of man you're attracted to, including fashion wise). As for the other...the negative side of Libra can be one who wants to punish others over promoting harmony (that is harmony takes a back seat) though the only Libra sun I personally knew who was like that had a lot of Scorpio to her chart (stellium and rising, I don't have her birth chart so I can't look it up but most of her planets were in Scorpio, so her Mars probably was as well--but she could be so passive aggressive that avoided direct confrontation until it reached a boiling point that maybe it was Libra). I did know one Libra sun who had been a vigilante (I forget his Mars offhand) but even his primary interest was in saving the innocent over punishing the guilty. I imagine what is happening is that your Gemini moon and Libra Mars is pushing you to act and involve yourself but your Virgo sun (along with Libra Mars carefully considering which can thus become indecisive) is reining you in which builds incredible tension and thus the anger and self-doubt you have (while at the same time adding to your desire to be helpful and thus feeling bad about not acting out if you believe an injustice is being done). (And that's just based on what you shared, the rest of your chart would likely show even more.) It should be noted that a sincere desire to be just does not automatically make any actions based on that sincere belief a just action. More importantly, if karma is real then it needs no help from you, and all your trying to "speed it up" is likely to do is dump bad karma on you, likely putting you in a vicious circle as few people ever question their own bad karma but rather see themselves as the innocent victim and keep lashing out at others and the world (this is also true if you see karma as an amoral force like gravity as I do as it is if you see it as a force imbued with human morality and ethics as many others do). Libra is a cardinal sign and Mars in Libra likes to lead, preferably for a good cause but it's also a mental sign that needs harmony or can show signs of distress and depression (Lincoln had a Libra Mars). No matter your age you can probably find some niche to exercise kind leadership (this includes as an inspiration or example and would probably be best for you, it's not limited to institutional authority), something both your Virgo sun and Gemini moon could help you with, and the Virgo and Libra would probably mean some way of making the world better...but you have to guard your scales and have firm boundaries or both your Virgo and Libra will burn out fast, and your moon isn't going to be happy confined to one role and may even resent being tied down (though they're good at getting people together otherwise) which would likely create some conflict between your moon and your sun & mars. Your Gemini moon and Libra Mars could help you make excellent speeches but be sure you stick with the ideas rather than attacking the person (and other logical fallacies) as otherwise you'll just end up spinning your wheels without getting anywhere which will just frustrate you and finding yourself in unpleasant situations (see karma above), and also avoid negative gossip or sharing things you ought not to share.

My ex hub and I are both Libra Mars. I'll never forget this one time a man was really hassling me at my job (I was a bartender) and my husband beat him so badly he was in the hospital for 4 days. We are definitely NOT cowards, we'd just PREFER not to go there. Also, we let things fester for so long (my ex lacks fire so he's bad about this, I have a lot of fire so I can't hold it in) that when it does come out , things like the above happen.To the OP, no to the food stuff for me, my ex is picky though and never knows what he wants to order which consequently makes him order the same thing every time. Yes to the fashion. Yes to the long hair. Yes to the revenge , but no on that one for my ex. I have a lot of Scorp , he doesnt. IP: Logged |

These fit, I think. It's also a "military", strategist, militant Mars. Very diplomatic, but fearless to enter one-to-one battles when necessary. Many famous "warriors" and peace fighters have this placement. Being in Libra, it's a one-to-one Mars in general. ------------------ I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...

That sounds like me. Mars in cancers, paired with Aries sun seems to hate me. All three people in the world I really dislike is sun Aries mars cancer. IP: Logged |

As was said above. I will battle it out if I have to. But I prefer to find another way. I’m a Sag too, so I can’t really get worked up about a lot of things. If you REALLY need to have xyz then fine. You can have xyz. I’m not going to fight you over it. But don’t take my laid back attitude to mean you can push me around and abuse me. That is NOT going to happen.

I don’t hold grudges. Why should I? Life it too short for grudges or revenge. I don’t have time for it. quote:

It depends on how they “wronged” me.... quote:

No. I don’t bother complaining about friends either. And it depends on what it is if it’s worth “confronting” someone about something. Mars in Libra are not confrontational unless we have to be. quote:

Yes. It’s called diplomacy and being a grown up. Some people love the drama of “confrontation”. I don’t. If there is a real problem then I'll deal with it like an adult. If I know the "friend" is a drama queen, I'm not going to bother becuase I don't want see him/her kick off. quote:

Ok. So you tell someone to F off and you want to me to save your a$$ when he comes to beat the crap out of you.... Really? Mars Libras wouldn’t tell the guy to F off. They would walk away and ignore the cat calling. Why cause the drama? quote:

Having said that I don't love my Mars as it keeps me much too indecisive for my liking. However, I don’t take it personally. Becuase I don’t agree with you. Mars in Libra certainly has it’s challenges. But I don’t see your Mars as that much better really. IP: Logged |

My Mars in Libra is Rx so it's not working properly anyway..I'll never back down from a fight, I've had to learn over the yrs to allow someone to hit first so I can claim self defense lol Where I become indecisive and "Libran" is when I have an idea and I know it's good, but I'll mull over it a few days to make absolutely sure that it's what I want to do. But a coward? Never that!! lol IP: Logged |

Yes. An ex told me when he was a boy his father used to take him and his brother and sister out for pizza. He took one look at it and decided he didn't like it. Years later, he actually tasted pizza and loved it. Then he got angry thinking about all the times he missed out! As an adult, he wouldn't eat vegetables.

No. I've only known men, but I've known several with this placement. quote: 3.) can become a bully when on REALLY bad terms with a person and provoked
When they get angry, I've found them to be passive/aggressive, but bully, no. I wonder if this trait has to do with aspects to your Mars. quote: 4.) calm but the scales always waiver
Don't know. quote: 5.) love of libran fashion sense. The elegance, neutral tones, long hair, matte lipstick (which sometimes conflicts my Leo Venus and wanting to dye my hair light colors blonde like the sun and west bright patterned clothing)
I haven't known women with this placement, but the two out of three men I knew were oblivious of fashion. One used to pick clothes for me. He had good taste. quote: 6.) indecisive
I haven't found this to be true, but these could be exceptions. quote: 7.) wants peace but will battle it out
What I've seen is that peace, equality, and justice motivates Mars in Libra to fight. Generally, they don't like confrontation - Mars is in detriment in this sign. The fight is on the mental level and/or with words, not physical. It's too refined and civilized for knock down, drag out fights. I think this is a good placement for a lawyer or someone who debates. Mars in Libra is very charming, refined, and romantic. Love and relationship are very important to them. They prefer having a partner rather than being alone and are very aware of gender issues.

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. ------------------ I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...

I wouldn't consider the Mars in Libra people I know cowards. My only criticism is that they're slow to action and we all know why. But once they make that choice, and they have some fixed signs on their sun/moon/ASC they can be fairly stubborn about their choice. But all the deliberation does make for a well thought out choice and you will be heard before action. It's a good trait for some scenarios and a bad trait for other scenarios. This thread seems full of misattribution to Mars in Libra IP: Logged |

YES my Scorpio Sun Mars in Libra friend is VERY picky about what she eats and drinks, I can't ever get it right there. She will also be *** for tat at work / with people she doesn't trust or isn't close with. She notices everything, I've never seen her be a bully though but compared to me she holds strongly to her convictions and will not budge if she doesn't think something is ethical or right in a way. Yes, she's indecisive and she avoids confrontation with me, an Aries. I think that's partly because our fights always end up as cold wars rather than hashing it out which is just another symptom of passive-aggressiveness, and I could see Mars in Libra relating to that since Libra is the feminine to Aries' masculinity. She's a seed planter as well but how much of that is Scorpio and how much of that is Libra? Idk. IP: Logged |

You guys need to make up your minds, we're either passive/aggressive or we're bullies..so which is it? lolI'm starting to think the difference is in what aspects the Mars is making and I'll even go as far as saying what house it's in makes a difference too. IP: Logged |

It can be both. 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). Another way is to speak loudly to someone else intending for the victim to hear which will denigrate the person somehow but isn't talking TOO the person and if the person says something the bully can claim she was just eavesdropping on a private conversation. A less passive but still not overt manner is to start rumors and rile up others to bully for the person. There are many ways to bully, and many reasons for it, and can range from cyberbullying or leaving nasty messages on someone's locker or workspace to cruel pranks (pulling the chair out from someone so they fall on the floor kind) to just moving (so if someone sits at a table everyone else leaves) to direct confrontation. But let me take the time to specify that by bullying I mean someone who sets out to repeatedly demean someone for a variety of reasons (which may include "because the person deserves it") as opposed to someone who is just grouchy, has rude humor, or just happens to make others feel insecure (without meaning to). But my question is sincere (and I did know a Libra sun and stellium in high school who tried to bully me as she felt my tomboyish behavior and hanging out with boys without actually having a boyfriend was "inappropriate" and therefore that I "needed to be shamed/excluded" but it didn't work), I want to know how and reasons given for why (and the ages involved) of those that bully. And I'm sure you're correct that houses and aspects make a difference. IP: Logged |
