Mars is known as the planet of war and its position in your natal chart is indicative of your more volatile characteristics. It reflects your ambitiousness and approach to pursuing goals, how you assert and defend yourself, and also your primal sexuality.
If you are born under Mars in Libra, your ambition in life is to be trusted, respected, and needed by others. This can often mean setting your expectation for yourself through the paradigm of what you think others expect and value.
You hate conflict and will try to avoid it at any cost. This means compromising to keep others happy, and using your soothing words to defuse situations.
You enjoy the indulgence of love, and think that sex should be indulgent and enjoyable as well. Rather than rush things, you prefer to take your time and get it right.
Mars Transit & Retrograde Through Libra
While the position of Mars in our natal chart affects us on an individual level, the planet’s continual transit through the signs impacts us all as it influences our fiery energies. It takes six to seven weeks to transit through each sign.
When Mars transits through Libra, you will probably find yourself more concerned than usual by what others think of you and will go out of your way to please. You might also find that you have allies willing to support you at this time.
Thankfully, Mars does not retrograde through Cancer often, as the planet only retrogrades every two years. It will next retrograde through Libra in 2029.
Whenever Mars retrogrades, we tend to feel like our energy is highly diminished. When this is combined with the energy of Libra, you may find yourself becoming uncomfortable due to being drawn into conflicts you seem unable to resolve.

Mars in Libra Personality Traits

Aesthetic
When you are born under Mars in Libra, you are inclined towards the aesthetically pleasing. You like things that look good and tend to have good natural taste. But you also always pay attention to what is popular and are effortlessly “on trend”.
As well as being a consumer of things beautiful, you are likely to be a creator of art. While you might be drawn to any medium, you probably have a strong affinity with visual art.
You prefer it when everything in life is beautiful and probably ascribe to the philosophy that life is too short to wear drab clothes.
Just
You probably believe that life should be fair, and continue to invest in this idea despite the many times that you have seen that things just don’t work that way.

But you can also be a little bit self-entitled and question why you haven’t gotten all the things that you justly deserve in life.

You know that once something is done it is impossible to take back, so you are often reluctant to act until the last minute when you are left with no choice.
