Mars in Libra
14 July 1918, 13:00, Uppsala, Sweden
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Ingmar as “you”.
Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.
In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.
Mars in Libra
You can express yourself best in life and work through partnerships or groups, organizations, teams. You work very well with other people, are honest and fair, you probably have good strategic skills, but you lack initiative and starting energy. That is why you often shift the responsibility of making decisions and acting on others or find it difficult to act without relying on others. You have trouble to act on what you decide, although in your mind, you have all possibilities worked out. You are very attractive to the opposite sex, also because you appear to be uncatchable.
Mars in 12th house
You are a sensitive person who is usually very interested in fellow man, his motives, desires and goals and you also understand other people very well – that is why you are successful as explorer and detective, in social work and medicine, also in veterinary medicine. You also have a lot of sense and understanding for those who are in some way handicapped (mentally or physically) or those who give in to fate. You have exceptional inner strength and great influence on others, but you are not very open and you often hide something.
Mars as rising planet
Because Mars is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and have exceptional strength and outstanding physical endurance. You are combative and impetuous and you usually fulfill what you set to do. Because you have so much energy, it is basically essential to direct you towards sport and similar activities already in childhood; but because of your restless energy, you are prone to injuries, also to headaches and high temperature. Perhaps your mother had a hard delivery with you or there were some health issues in pregnancy or during or after delivery; but because you are a born warrior with exceptional life energy and will, you always manage to have enough energy for self-renewal; it is only important that you beneficially direct and use excessive energy.
