What it means

It's easier to act together with someone and by agreement; you want to avoid a direct quarrel and keep arguments polite. Injustice stings most — toward yourself and especially toward others. Decisions are made with an eye to your partner.

The flip side is indecision in action and anger that takes a long time to come out. You can put up with a difficult person for years to avoid making a scene.

This isn't about you if you go into open conflict easily and your partner's opinion doesn't matter for your decisions.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If your Mars is in Libra

    What should match. Recall your last three conflicts. In at least two you act through an agreement, rules or third parties, and you avoid a direct quarrel until the last moment.

    When it’s not about you. In two out of three you go straight into an open quarrel — this isn't about you.
