I once told a psychiatrist "It's ignorant ass people that make me irritable"

BUT!....

I hate mean people! People who do and say mean things and don't seem to care or have any sense of empathy for others. That sets me off...

My favorite all time bumper sticker is "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK" lol!

BM - you're not repeating the Mars opp Mars that your parents have??

My brother and I think our parents are on a 50 year argument that no-one has won yet. But they are also community activists. The Pisces/Virgo polarity works very well in this context. Mars Opp Mars isn't that bad, it's a see-saw creating a balance.

I DO have a Mars Opp Mars with my husband with 3 degrees orb. With Mars Aquarius, I expect to be treated like an equal. He has Mars Leo and expects me to be all around competent. So that works out well, we've run businesses together. Would I stand a better chance of keeping him if I acted dumb and let him be the man? Er, no. I'd rather be single anyway.

Me too.

Standing up to an unjust situation is Mars in action the positive way. Mars channelled and under control is a powerful force that helps make the world a better place. It doesn't have to be like a child throwing toys out of the playpen.

Sounds like you have internalised your parents' behaviours and found it with your partner maybe (signage would change the flavour though).

My younger son also has planets along this axis. He is the sweetest, quietest boy, but definitely has the Virgo/Pisces sense of rightness. Mars in Pisces has a terrible temper on those few ocassions it feels justified in letting rip.

agree with Jane that Mars is how we express our anger, Moon might show what angers us

Then that would be injustice, unfairness and bad manners. Libra. Not saying thank you to waiters when they serve your food, that kind of thing.

BM, I don't really understand though how anger is your natural reaction. I would associate anger as a natural and first reaction if there was a high level of fire present in a chart and from what I remember, you don't have much fire. Would you say that you slow burn like a Taurus?

Also, would you say that you express your anger maybe in eccentric and unpredictable ways or moments because your Mars is in Aqu? (and verbally because it is in the 3rd?)

Mars in Scorpio first house, trine Mercury in Pisces in 5th, opposite Venus 7th...and if you count a wider orb, part of a t-square with Jupiter/Mc in Cancer and Venus Aries.

I also don't get super mad very often. BUT, I tend to internalize everything. If someone does something wrong, I feel so let down, especially if I trusted that person.

I won't be around someone who's negative all of the time. Eventually, they won't be part of my scenery because I believe it's a choice.

I can handle it if someone's wronged you and you dislike them. But I hate prejudice in any form and I think using your power to lord over others is a sign of weakness and smallness of character.

My Mars shows anger in psychoanalyzing a situation and then seeing how I can serve that person a good lesson in a way that might hit home. Most of the time it's pretty subtle. (That is very Plutonic, I guess!) But...if someone is about to hurt someone that I care about, I lose my composure, and go for the throat...even when that person could easily squash me. Must be the Cancer involved...like a mother protecting a baby in danger.

Oddly, with as much fire as I have, it takes A LOT to make me mad to the point where I actually attack someone, and it's usually the little things that end up breaking the camel's back for me... I'm very impatient though.

These things make me mad:
1) Intolerance for others without even trying to understand their point of view or the background they came from- AKA hateful negative people. What? You hate that person because he is not a Christian and you think that he is thereby immoral? Have you even ASKED him what he believes in? No? What? You dislike that person because they dress "funny," are from another country, and have an accent? UGH. NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE YOU!!! (Can you tell I have Mars in the 9th? )
2) Not taking responsibility for one's actions or place in life. Oh? You didn't get that promotion because you didn't do any work? Don't come crying to me. What? You were talking crap about someone behind their back and they reamed you for it in front of everyone? Stop complaining. We are NOT all victims, so get over it!
3) Hypocrisy.
4) Pettiness and/or greed- I'm sorry, Mr. Millionare, but you won't hear me crying over the fact that you can't make payments on your BMW convertible and 3 million dollar house now that Lehman Brothers collapsed, when most of the country can't even buy groceries or afford health insurance.
5) Attacking people who can't or aren't there to defend themselves. See hateful people above.
6) Character defamation and mud slinging in general.- What Mr. McCain? Barack shall be compared to Paris Hilton? Fine, but only if I can compare you to George W. Bush. Seriously people... Focus on the issues!!!

I'm sure there are other things, but those are the main things.

Like a lot of people who have posted replies, I don't often really lose it, but there are plenty of things that annoy me and make me cross. Some of those things a watery person (like my mother) might see as hurtful or upsetting. But I'm only human, if someone sits me down and treats me to a character assassination, I am going to take it personally. If it's unfair, unjust, or based on b.s (like office politics) then I might get angry as well.

One of the most afflicted planet, if not the most, in my chart.
These aspects would give the potentials of violence, impulsiveness, explosiveness, cruelty and sadism in my personality.

In a weird twist, Mars is situated in Pisces at 27'30deg. No one has ever seen me flare up before. I don't think I've even really exploded before. Most people would say I'm happy-go-lucky and very cheerful.

I think it is because all these aspects are controlling elements that try to suppress the energy and fire of Mars. Furthermore, being in Pisces is already watering it down.
If I were to describe my anger, I would say it's blue. Cold blue.

However I would like to note that the hottest stars are the blue ones. Our sun might look fiery yellow/red but its temperature is not even half that of a blue class star.

Now this annoys me, it is potentially dangerous and it is unnecessary. Plenty of parents have to go on to work or to do errands out of town. They don't mount the curb and leave the engine running, they park and walk a little way to take their kids in. It's the kind of selfish attitude, not giving a toss about anyone else, that sets me seething.

It's not something I take as a personal hurt, it doesn't upset me, it makes me cross. In my view that's Mars not the Moon.

People who say they're going to do something and don't. Don't say it if you're not going to do it. I lose respect.

People who deliberately wind me up. For example I hate having my feet touched and I can get violent if they are touched because they are extremely sensitive and I find it painful. If you pin me down and touch my feet you're not my friend anymore. Why would anybody do that deliberately? Yet people do.

I get angry when people scare me on purpose, either jumping out at me or telling me bad news to see a reaction. Not funny. I had an ex that used to hide from me because he knew I hated it. Dumped. You are not 12 anymore and my heart can't take the strain of the being frightened or the anticipation of it.

I get angry when my personal space is invaded. People grabbing me and steering me by the elbow, grrrr.

I will go thermonuclear if people keep doing these things if I've been clear about them.

I have Pluto conjunct Libra Moon in the 8th house, as well as Leo Sun conjunct Mars in the 7th.

I'm very diplomatic on the outside but I get angry inside, and I hate double standards.

what assorted black power threads?

There have been no assorted black power threads.

You were the person who accusing me of being racist because I talk about the truth of race relations aren't all that great here in USA and point out that racism against blacks is a reality in the country,and so Rev Wright has some founding to expess a lot of discontent about race relations here in USA. I posted numerous articles with urls to back up my argument including that American Civil Liberties Union called out USA on its racism and for sweeping it under the rug. Even President Bush admitted to NAACP that racism is still a problems. He said that you can change the laws but you can't change a human heart.

I posted my essay about race relations that include my belief of race equality as well as my poem expressing those views. I even proposed solutions in how we can improve race relations too. I even pointed out that I have a history of interracial dating and relationships. I even pointed out that the woman that I love is white. Most of all,I pointed out that I embrace my own multiethnic heritage. That's why I was one of only 2.4 percent of the US population to that identified as multiracial on 2000 US Census. You accused me of hating my white mother like I hate white people,and that was a very dishonorable thing to do to a person. AcousticGod called you out on that.

I feel that a person with some black ancestry who posts from the black perspective shouldn't be accused of being racist or believing in black power. That's definitely not me. I believe that there should be multiracial power...that is that all races have power..not just whites..not just blacks. I expressed those sentiments more than once.

Definition of racist:

a person who believes that he/she is superior because of his/her race,
a person who is prejudiced of other races,
a person who hates others because of his/her race

none of those fit me.

I am an anti-racist. A very passionate anti-racist. That is not a crime. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was also a very passionate anti-racist too. So was Frederick Douglass.

I am idealist in that I wish that we all get along and love each other(Moon in Pisces square Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd), but I am realist in that I know racism is still a problem(Moon square Saturn in Gemini in 9th). I believe that racism has to be acknowledged. We can't sweep it under the rug and pretend that it doesn't exist. It has to be addressed and resolved. We have to that through deep,honest interaction and communication with each other. We can't isolate ourselves and then pretend that race relations is something that we know about. This is coming from somebody who has always had multiracial interaction whether it was home(having a multiracial background),work,the navy,overseas...especially living in multiracial diverse areas like Sacramento,San Francisco Bay area, and San Diego which are all in California. I definitely have a strong understanding of both black and white perspectives and understand Hispanic and Asian perspectives too with having Puerto Rican relatives,half Filipino cousins,and having half Japanese stepsisters. I don't call my family, the United Nations for nothing. Heck..even the asteroid,UnitedNations is 17 minutes conjunct my AntiVertex.

I also want to point that there is nothing wrong with a person having pride in his race,his nationality,culture. I believe that it's wrong when a person believes that he/she is superior because of it. I believe that it's wrong when he/she treats others badly because they are not like them. I believe in diversity. I believe in the tolerance of diversity. My idealistic view what USA is a country of racial diversity and equality. That means that there USA is country of all races which are equal.

like Reverend Wright said
"Different doesn't necessarily mean deficient" in referring to that black culture is different but not deficient.
That's the same with any culture. Any culture that is different from another culture should not be viewed as deficient.

This is the point that I raise as an advocate of neurodiversity stemming from my being Dyslexic,Dyspraxic,ADHD
