Fight-or-flight response

Which reaction in response to a stressful event is common to you? Where is your Mars?

The most common are: fight, flight, faint, fright, or freeze.

Depends on the situation & how much I care. Usually I fight for awhile if it’s important.

Freeze or fight and...laugh.

A nervous laugh or smirk is often my first, uncontrolled reaction to aggression and got me into trouble in the past.

Mars in Aries

In what situation?

Taurus Moon in 2nd.

I see the tiger eager to strike but do he know I'm made of stone break his teeth when he bite. Virgo mars.

Depends what kind of stressful event we’re talking about. Life or death, or relatively trivial shit.

When I was a kid and my life was in danger, it was flight or freeze.

Today I dig deep and fight. Sometimes stressful events can feel like life and death. It’s probably my trauma talking.

Aqua Mars 4th house

As others have said, it depends on the situation but fight for sure. Cancer Mars 9th house.

Different situations call for different things.

Some situations may require for you to flee to keep a bad situation from getting worse, some situations may start with the worst case scenario already at play with your back against the wall.

Keep all options available.

(Except for faint or freeze which sound involuntary.)

Depends on the situation.

If it's going to cost me my job or land me in prison, I'll walk away. I do not want a criminal record, be black-listed from being hired by any company or go viral online for being an idiot and immature.

My son in danger? I'll fight to the death. Literally.

When mama bear instinct is triggered, watch out! Always. Even as I’m telling myself to be calm lol
