ALMUTEMMars in Libra
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Libra, it expresses itself seeking balance and common ground with others.
Mars enters Libra — cardinal air, house of Venus — and stands here in his detriment, a stranger in the sign of the star that is averse to him. The raw force is ill at ease where all is weighed, pondered, and brought to terms; Venus wants harmony and fairness, and Mars, who settles by a blow, is made to argue what he would cut. It inclines to a wrath dressed in courtesy, a strife waged in gloved hands, a quarrel that calls itself justice. The passion turns toward the other, and the fight is made of partnership and rivalry at once — adversary and equal in the same person. It gives ardour for the cause, pride in fairness, a will to do battle for those one loves. It tends to indecision at the moment of the blow, to the postponed conflict that festers, to war waged in the name of peace. The danger is that of a force that wavers on the scales: a weapon raised and never brought down, an anger held fast in courtesy.
