Mars in Libra

18 September 1961, 12:00, Westwood, NJ, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to James 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 11th house

Often you focus all your life and all your energy to charity and similar projects. You are a humanist, involved in fighting for human and animal rights, you are interested in ecology. You work very well in groups or under patronage of a bigger organization, you yourself often introduce novelties into existing and accepted systems – in science and spirituality or in computer science and mathematics. You like making all sorts of acquaintances and friendships, but you are basically a naive person and aren't always the best judge of what company is actually cool for you.

Mars square Jupiter

You are usually energetic, decisive, ambitious and enterprising, but you don't have too much sense of hierarchy and you don't always respect the natural course of things and events. You don't like phases that are too slow and you are prone to jumping over or speeding up procedures because of your desire to reach the goal as soon as possible, sometimes also at all costs and with some aggression, with which you can also waste some good opportunities. You are passionate and impulsive, you have a certain inner restlessness and also dissatisfaction, which you try to satisfy with doing business and/or accumulating goods.

Mars square Saturn

You are usually decisive, energetic, enterprising and ambitious, also stubborn. You have a strong desire to succeed in business, but you also often have a rigid character and are not perceptive to other ways, you know the best and do the best. You are critical and demanding, you can also be harsh and even cruel. You aren't too understanding of others, so you can't always cooperate with them well and your business path can be difficult because of it, until you try to also put yourself in other people's shoes and start nurturing compassion.
