Mars in Libra

Het Monster: Mars in Libra
There is nothing worse than dishonest play! I will patiently seek:
I reconcile everyone, divide everything—
Equally and fairly!

Whatever your child with Mars in Libra likes to do, they will likely prefer to do it with someone else—if there is a choice. If everyone else is busy with something dirty or unworthy, your child will prefer to go and do something calm and perhaps artistic, even if it turns out they have to do it alone.

Although this child tends to work very harmoniously in a group and seeks compromise to ease group work and avoid conflict, they may still excel in certain areas. People with this Mars placement often constantly try to balance the need for communication with the desire to assert their rights.

The concept of fair play is very important to them; your child will energetically insist on it both for their own interests and in defending the interests of others. Thoughts about what needs to be done can sometimes delay the action that needs to be taken at the right time. This child should always consider both sides of an issue before acting. If they cannot resolve the matter in their mind according to one stance or another, by the time they are ready to act, it may be too late.

A child with Mars in Libra will take great pleasure in all kinds of celebrations, parties, dancing, and so on. You should give them the opportunity to try various forms of art, crafts, and music. They may become quite skilled in one of these areas and derive great enjoyment from it. Also, plan for the likelihood that your child will, whenever possible, invite a friend along.

This sign is neutral regarding Mars. Such a placement indicates an attractive appearance, a strong body, and a passionate nature. These people are perceptive, have commercial abilities, are good athletes, skilled in debates, and possess refined, exquisite taste. They befriend educated people but suffer from disorder in relationships with the opposite sex. They are kind, talkative, have a decent ability to foresee events, but are quick to anger.

Here, Mars is a guest of Venus and Chiron. This position is Mars’ detriment. In Libra, Mars manifests through an active desire to find a point of equilibrium between forces—through compromise or by discovering any strength of your own counterforce. Most likely, this is why you generally dislike open conflict; you have high diplomatic activity and know how to maneuver between different forces.

With a “good” Mars in Libra, you always seek the best solution, find the key to the situation you are in. You are characterized by agility and youthful nimbleness in struggle, and you may be able to compromise if you have an inner core. With a “good” Chiron, you can easily align your energy with the will of others. With a “bad” Chiron, you will gladly and with interest carry out various delicate assignments. That is, your will may either skirt the law or stand guard over it (if Chiron and Jupiter are “good”).

With a difficult Mars in Libra, you are sometimes capable of pitting others against each other (as Mao Zedong said: “Let two tigers fight while the monkeys watch from the hill”). But if you are strongly pressured or “cornered,” you may fail to find a point of equilibrium, and from there, aggression, conflict, intransigence, and imbalance may emerge. It is as if your inner scales are swinging wildly, and the offender may receive a counterblow. In this case, your will follows a channel that is not directed.

For example, Mars in this position was in the chart of Emperor Paul I. Additionally, Mars in Libra creates a desire for active harmonization of your environment. You are likely inclined to interfere in conflicts around you and try to reconcile people to create a harmonious environment around yourself. You may even be a fighter for justice—or rather, for what you yourself consider justice. In some cases, this will be expressed not only on a social level but also on a material one. Then, you will have a desire to decorate your home. Unlike people with a strong Venus, you will try not only to buy things but also to make them yourself—you will show a love for applied arts. This happens because Mars generally expresses self-assertion: “I am!”—the most active and direct manifestation of will.

Libra gives aggressive Mars subtlety and charm. They seek recognition and cooperation. Life is full of anxieties and various kinds of misfortunes. They make good lawyers. However, they can lose their temper over injustice, even if it does not concern them personally. A good configuration with Saturn brings discipline, caution, while a bad one worsens the negative traits. With bad aspects, there are difficulties in marriage and quarrels with colleagues.

Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Indecision in actions, hesitation, the habit of weighing all “pros and cons.” Calm and self-control in the face of aggression, insight. Willingness to fight for a just cause and, if necessary, use all their aggression. Feelings generate and direct energy.

Mars emphasizes the Libra’s desire to take an active part in every situation they find themselves in. In an unrefined state, this is constant, untimely, and often verbal activity, an initiative aimed at balancing a situation the Libra with Mars has not properly understood. For this, they receive noticeable snaps or blows (depending on the degree of Mars’ affliction), which do not immediately affect their behavior. When worked through, Mars occupies its rightful place in the imprisonment of Libra, giving them constant inner energy that sustains their unwavering attention to the situation, occasionally emerging into active behavior. However, in all cases, Mars retains the intellectual and structural approach of Libra.

In a harmonious variant, Mars expands the Libra’s sphere of activity; here, Libra enjoys significant authority because their inner strength is felt. Without refinement, there may be a somewhat passive position with an inner sense that there is no need to try, as “Uncle will fix everything anyway” (which often happens, at least in the early stages of life).A strong need for joint endeavors. Love for art, good diplomatic abilities. A thirst for respect and recognition. A sense of justice is quite subjective, hence inflexibility in adhering to societal rules, difficulties in marriage and cooperation due to quarrels. Fighters for justice, but act covertly. Sensuality distracts and can lead far astray, while impulsiveness may disrupt balance. You waver between persistence and readiness to engage in conflicts to assert yourself and the desire to please others without having a clear and definite goal for yourself. You work persistently toward balancing independence and confidence on one hand, and business cooperation and interaction with people on the other. Sometimes you become upset that you cannot simply do what you want, that you have to constantly adapt to circumstances and the desires of others. Your decisions depend on support and approval from people, and if there is no approval, you often hesitate, unsure of what to do. You achieve your goals through cooperation with others, playing as a team. You place great importance on the concept of justice and become indignant, raising your voice if you feel someone is taking advantage of others. You avoid extremes and consider a balanced and moderate approach to life the best. It is unlikely that you will strain all your strength, overwork, or be seized by a fanatical desire to achieve your goals. Possible inflammations of the kidneys, acute pain in the kidney area, a tendency to fever.

Indecisiveness — sometimes it is difficult to make a choice. In a difficult situation, you tend to panic. You need support from others to take initiative.
