The force of will · Air, cardinal

Deciding alone is the hard part: you weigh, consult, imagine the effect on everyone, and sometimes the moment passes while you evaluate. Open confrontation displeases you; instead of shouting, you argue, negotiate and look for an agreement in which no one leaves humiliated. When you finally break, it tends to be in a dry and definitive way that surprises those who only knew your gentle side.

The light of this placement

You are excellent in disputes that call for a cool head: you can defend what is yours without turning the other person into an enemy.

The shadow — what to work on

Avoiding friction all the time produces a polite hostility, with courteous hints, and decisions left standing, waiting for an approval that is not going to come.

Mars: what it means in the chart

It shows how you fight, desire and assert yourself. It's the planet that explains why one person explodes and another stews for days, and why some only find out they were angry long afterward.

Libra

Libra is the discovery that there is another person with a weight equal to yours. It's the sign of agreement, of mediation, of the room carefully arranged so the conversation goes well. People with it strong think together, see several angles at once, and need to learn to hold a position of their own before rushing to consensus.
