Anarchic tendencies, a propensity for quarrels, jealousy. In the worst case, it fosters envy, an unruly character, and uncontrollability. Mars is in detriment here, which makes it so intense.

Mercury degree. “A judge in the courtroom looks disapprovingly at a person presenting a document.” — Indicates someone active and energetic but threatened by disfavor, prejudice, and unfavorable court rulings. This person’s life will not be without numerous sufferings and trials. It is quite likely that they will either clash with the law or face obstacles from official authorities. If Mercury in the horoscope is weak or afflicted, such a person will suffer losses in business and jurisprudence; but if this planet is strong, they will be an advanced intellectual fighting for freedom. This is the symbol of Grip and Chains (I. Kosminsky).
