Mars in Libra...

This is an amazingly powerful placement, but in its power also lies its difficulty. The purpose of Mars is to satisfy the needs, wants and will of the chart holder, but Libra is the sign that considers other people's wants and needs. This creates a dynamic of opposing forces, which can be as frustrating as it is effective.

When pursuing a love interest, Mars in Libra is at its most powerful. The combination of the planet of "me" in the sign of "not me" creates a person who is uniquely talented at winning the

affection of whomever they find attractive. People with Mars in Libra know how bring people to them rather than going out and capturing the one they want. They know how to use charm, beauty and sex appeal to draw people to them. They are alluring and use subtle cues to entice people into their world. Then, once they have someone's attention, they know how to make it all about the other person, which pleases the Mars in Libra person, because in doing this, they get the other person all to themselves. 

Once a person is under their spell, they are putty in the hands of Mars in Libra. The Mars in Libra person is the master of getting both the person they want and the things they want from people without doing much more than being kind, thoughtful, and of course, attractive. They make it look easy and people are perfectly willing to fall into their spell. Why not? It's pleasurable to have someone focus on you and always put your needs first. But herein lies the pain of this position. Mars in Libra has difficulty taking what they want regardless of the needs of other people. They don't want to be selfish, but there are times when every person needs to put their own needs first. What's more, it's Mars' duty to serve the selfish needs of the chart holder. So, although these people are great when it comes to getting what they want through other people and working with other people, they aren't so good at just taking what they want when they want it. They can get frustrated trying to make decisions because they constantly weigh the effects their decisions will have on other people against their own wants. There are times when Mars in Libra people finally break down under the pressure of trying to satisfy everyone and always be fair. They can lash out, and their demeanor can flip into that of an angry person who is only concerned with their own needs. When they have had enough, and they just need to serve themselves, it causes them pain because it goes against their nature. To deal with the pain and

frustration, they often react with anger because the feelings aren't natural for them and they don't know how to express them comfortably and confidently. They are only trying to work through their own internal turmoil, and hopefully during these times, they are offered the patience and consideration of others. They always want to be fair and kind, but because it is Mars' nature to be selfish, they must always endure a struggle with this position.
