Mars in Libra: Meaning & Personality Traits

Mars in Libra Personality

The sign of Libra is a detrimental position for Mars. In this placement, Mars is weakened and unable to express its energy in a full or robust manner. Thus, Mars in Libra can indicate a discomfort with conflict and aggression. These individuals may feel somewhat blocked or obstructed in their ability to voice their anger for fear of alienating others. They avoid pursuing desires that might cause others to dislike or hate them.

Additionally, they are cognizant of what people might think in response to their actions and this can largely inhibit them from being more bold and forthright. They may have a tendency to avoid addressing problems up front or try to minimize their significance. All too often, they may subordinate their self interests for the sake of others. A lot of their anger or discontentment can get bottled up inside because of this and ultimately poison their spirit with bitterness, resentment and self loathing.

People with Mars in Libra often choose instead to direct their martial energy and force of will towards more selfless purposes. They may display a passion for people and relationships and are driven to cultivate and harness an understanding of people that empowers them socially. There is a knack for quickly sizing up social situations and how to gain leverage or the upper hand in their interactions with others. Although they are generally not outwardly aggressive, they may instead display a more passive aggression.

They can be very effective at cutting people down with indirect and sarcastic insults. Under this placement, these individuals may express their dynamism in more charming and approachable forms. They are motivated to introduce themselves and strike up new friendships and acquaintances. Unless this configuration is placed in the 4th house, these individuals are not likely to suffer from shyness or social fear. At times, they can sometimes come across too eager and desperate for approval or validation and inadvertently drive away others.

Nevertheless, this placement can indicate a special way with people that can inspire and motivate. These individuals cultivate an understanding of what buttons to push and levers to pull in order to get the reaction and response they are looking for. They are enthusiastic collaborators who enjoy playing an active role within a team. Violence and conflict are largely an anathema to them and something they are motivated to avoid or control.

They believe in the use of force only to preserve peace and harmony. Sometimes it takes aggressive action in order to restore proper balance. Among the things that can perturb or annoy them is rude and inconsiderate behavior. Aggressively rude or disrespectful people can arouse their ire and fury. Whether they express this emotion is another matter. More often they will only vent about it to someone after the fact. Because they tend to suppress a lot of their frustration for the sake of keeping the peace, they will often have a lot of stuff that they secretly want to gripe about.

When it comes to competition, Mars in Libra men and women are more restrained. They tend to focus more on the quality of experience for all rather than the object of besting others and crushing the opposition. The tactics they employ however, are inclined to emphasize psychological manipulation and using the momentum of others against them. They are keen on competing within the context of a team rather than going rogue.

Additionally, people with this placement are compelled to diffuse and de-escalate conflict rather than engage. When they must engage, they do so with a reluctant heart. Their passion is directed towards the unification or facilitation of unity among others. They like to see people working together around a goal for which they are mutually passionate about. They become more bold when they know they have the support and backing of people around them. Without such support, they can be rather tentative about rocking the boat.

Mars in Libra in Relationships

When it comes to relationships, Mars in Libra indicates a desire to share one’s passions in a very collaborative way. These individuals are willing to compromise and set aside a lot of their own desires in favor of what the other person wants. People with this placement can feel a bit conflicted with the urge to preserve the peace and keep their partners happy while also having their own needs met. They may find themselves compromising too often at their own expense.

There is an ideal balance of give and take that they may struggle to find in their relationships. Additionally, these individuals can often seek romance with an element of danger. For them, a little bit of fighting can often draw them closer to their partners in a roundabout way. Some of their aggression and frustration can find a satisfying release through physical intimacy. Moreover, they may find it rather easy to initiate relationships and may often have multiple romantic options at any given time.

With Mars in Libra, you are enthusiastic when the situation favors exchanges and dialogues. Your affectivity responds to contacts with other people and with the unknown. You show your excited nature at each new encounter. You strive to reconcile opposite viewpoints more than to emphasize divergences. However, you do not confuse the interests at stake: what is white is not black…

You may have an innate talent for difficult negotiations, and you may play the role of natural mediator in contentious situations. Your strength lies in your ability to handle conflicts and to harmonize antagonistic positions. All situations offer several alternatives, all problems have several solutions. Your matching skills may make you appear as a person who is more sociable than you really are. When necessary, you can be curt. For you, action means intense relationship, connection, sympathy with the external world and establishing a life frame that is based on harmony and respectful of differences.Astrotheme
