Mars in Libra might habitually make itself appear to be much weaker than it actually is because it has learned that the only way to survive a fight is to feign defeat. If a conflict feels far too huge to bring to the surface, Mars in Libra might focus on the smaller issues and pick relentlessly at those situations without even realizing why those things seem so irritating.

There are a lot of strategies that Mars in Libra might use to hide a conflict. What is it like to become a person whose anger is not welcome? A person whose rage exists invisible and truncated? Imagine such a person and then consider the Mars in Libra individual. You have to keep in mind that a debilitated planet is often a point of pain. What Mars does when it is in Libra, when it is in a sign where its characteristics are not welcome and have never been welcome, is it hides.

Sometimes we hope that Mars in Libra has more to do with peace and harmony than destruction or aggression. There’s this assumption that people sometimes make about Mars being in its debilitation, because the signs of its debilitation tend to be warm and nurturing and wet signs, that a debilitated Mars is too nice or peaceful to have any Mars characteristics.
