Mars in Libra in the Tenth House

The placement of Mars in Libra indicates that you are likely to have desires that spring from a need for social interaction and that your actions are likely to be influenced by your need for social отношения and harmony. This often manifests in a certain grace, balance and harmony in your actions because you are motivated to please others and you are careful not to cause social disharmony through your actions. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Libra are a result of your desire for and involvement with preserving social harmony.

The placement of Mars in Libra is often problematic. This is symbolized by the natural opposition between Libra and Mars-ruled Овен. Libra is the Cardinal Air sign. Libra’s association with the qualities of balance and harmony generally lead you to be concerned about how your actions may upset others. This hampers the assertiveness that is a function symbolized by Mars and an essential component of the Mars energy. With Mars in Libra, you may often find that you must suppress your own desires and act in an environment of concern for others or even have to act through others. Thus, developing the Mars-symbolized functions to their full potential may be challenging.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Libra, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Libra. This may present some problems, in that Libra is associated with a softer, more passive energy than is typically associated with the masculine.  If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Libra-associated traits.

Insecurities

With Mars in Libra, when you are insecure in your selfhood, you are unsure of the role of self in your relation to others. This being the case, you are generally reluctant to be assertive in a relationship, for to be assertive, you must be aware of and confident of your own position. Having Mars in Libra, the result is that your actions are likely to be dominated by others’ desires. It is difficult for you to take independent action and you always seem to be dependent on another for direction. If called upon to take your own action or express your own desires, you cannot and look for someone else to act or to tell you what to do.
