Mars in Libra is placed in his detriment. Libra amongst other things signifies beautiful surroundings, a woman’s bedroom, a decorated dinning hall or restaurant with violins playing in the background, and like Taurus it generally signifies women and girls. Mars signifiesaggression and fighting. Put the two together in any number of combinations and you have behaviour which is not suitable, which is contradictory. You have a bar room brawl in the beautiful dinner hall, you have your ladies bedroom filled with “man things” power tools and dirtymotorbike parts, you have the cherub like violinists at the wedding playing Iron Maiden instead of Vivaldi.
This is Detriment for Mars. If this combination appears in a Man’s chart women will be agressive with him, or he will simply have marital relations which are filled with argument and fighting. If this combination appears in a woman’s natal chart, she will likely be agressive in relationships, and the men that she will be attracted to will be weak in some way.
George Orwell possessed Mars in Libra in the 1st house. He was a writer, not exactly the macho type, sophisticated and intellectual, yet he did voluntarily go and fight in a war. The war was in the name of peace, Mars in Libra likes to fight for peace. For Orwell though his side lost, the Fascists won and totalitarianism took over. This Mars is a very unhappy Mars, because it craves peace and security, but finds none.Orwells books are filled with a foreboding violence, with actions and violence that disturbs peace, that destroys any sense of security.
oh i strongly disagree with what you say about men with mars in libra attraccting aggressive women,no in my experience men with mars libra are outwardly charming ..at first then behind closed doors are aggressive EXTREMELY possessive jealous and volatile and some are even violent .
they also have addictions problems ie sexual addiction and alcohol problems
and i know about 7 different men with libra/mars they all seem to have the same problems.
it’s awful i dont trust them.
kate, its interesting what you say there about the libra men, – i also know some of them with those problems but they are libra suns.
libra mars… jeeeez.. they spend an eternity weighing before acting. they also have certain a way of letting someone know that what they think of you isnt much: charming face and then that “something else” lurking behind the scene. they know it shows; thats the point.
a man with only mars in libra does not necessarily attract an aggressive woman. but libra suns often do. and they dont really just attract them; they choose these women.
