I have my mercury detriment sagittarius and mars detriment in libra.

"Mercury looks at the details, and by analyzing and exploring the little things, eventually comes to understand the bigger picture.

When Mercury is in Sagittarius, it worries about the big picture, and as a result, often loses sight of the important details."


"Mars is happiest when it is able to express itself freely and directly.

Mars in Libra worries about the effects of its choices. Libra tells Mars that it must maintain balance and harmony at all times, but taking any action will always upset that balance, because every action has an equal and opposite reaction."


How can we take these detriment planets downfall and turn them into more positive result?

What is/are your planet(s) that are detriment?

To be very honest, I've been looking for a scorp in venus guy to have some depth with in love.

The closest one I had was a guy with venus in scorp retro. Funny story, broke up like 6+ months ago, then last month during venus retro he was like trying it with me. Diplomatically wiggled my way out, then he came up with a text in the middle of the night, sayin, "I'm glad to have experienced your love. I apologise for my past selfishness. I wish you will be happy. We should stay being friends. I'm ready to move on now from you. Please be happy for me."

I was like, completely baffled. Mostly because of the fact I had never had any contacts for months with him.

Maybe it was that nostalgic ambiance venus retro served him lol

Still interesting story to share, I think 🙂

How does your venus in scorp play part in your love?

Oh wow, CopperDove (I almost slipped and refer to your name). We share those 2 detriment planets. Any domicile planet?

How does it play part in your life?

haha, good that you caught yourself before posting my name. :-) No problem about the slower correspondence -- take whatever time you need. :-)

Yes, we've been vibing well for sure and have those 2 detriments in common.

I don't have any domicile planets.

I can't say how it plays out in my life in terms of being negative with the detriment planets. I've thought about it a lot, but I never can understand how they're bad, only how, like all placements, there are good and bad qualities that can manifest.

click to expand

on the note of how each placements has its upsides and downsides. You're right. So perhaps the best thing to derive any positive results from these so-called bad placements are to take the good qualities from it.

As in my mars in Libra, yes I tend to rationalize emotions when I get angry I cannot express it as well as others and instead will just take the other person's anger and try to work on how to manage my reactions to that. It can affect me in an unhealthy way, but it also promotes mediation in the midst of oppositions, therefore will prevent any worse drama from occuring. To also be rational in the midst of chaotic emotions can also help me move about in life, I think.

Whereas my merc, well.. my virgo mc cannot see this positively as I do with my mars. But I think since sagittarius vibe is up and about the future of things, so we have see positive prospects in everything? Not sure about this having to do with the placements lol

What do you think?

I've always wondered how the houses effect this.

Also conjunctions.
I thought the sign affects the house matters :/


Well if houses are hidden energy- can they also in a way be in detriment, fall, exalted, etc.?

Just a thought.

click to expand

If we put it into an analogy, I kind of perceive houses to be the room you are in and your sign is how you do things there?

So say, my mars lib is in the 11th house. So in a matter of friendships and society in general, I will tend to act diplomatic, mediating and integrate with people in order to connect with them. And it just happens to be that it is my passion to befriend people. lol

But then other placements modify that theory.

Sometimes I do feel it that way too, if i dont have someone in my heart, it is much much better. So I feel you. Scorpio energy can be too much at times, don't you think? Or am I just being negative?

Even though Moon in Scorpio is a very challenging placement, I have always thought that Moon in Virgo would also be a good candidate for the sign where the Moon is in fall. 😕 On the other hand it wouldn't make much sense to me because this way Virgo's opposite sign, Pisces would be where the Moon is exalted in and to be honest I don't think that Moon in Pisces is such a great placement.

Venus could be exalted in Cancer because it is a pretty easy flowing, harmonious placement. Venus in Pisces is not really great in my opinion because it is too other worldly and a bit detached and cold even. Doesn't have much to do with Venus' sensuality and earthliness. Cancer Venus on the other hand is the ultimate nurturer and caretaker. To me it would just make much more sense. 🙂 However, I don't think that Venus should be in fall in Capricorn instead of Virgo (where it really is) because ultimately Virgo Venus sucks way more than Capricorn Venus does. 😛

Since I don't see Venus as the ruler of Libra, I don't see Venus being in detriment in Aries either. Aries Venus has its challenges but those can't be compared to Scorpio Venus'. Scorpio Venus is truly a difficult placement. 😱 Venus is in detriment in Scorpio and in fall in Virgo makes perfect sense to me. 😆
Moon in Virgo is a MUCH better placement than Scorpio moon.

I mean I like Scorpio moons but there is so much going on with these individuals and so many negative emotions, there is no stability, objectivity, and when you add paranoia to it, it's a lot to deal with. No peace of mind in that sense.

You can say Virgo moon's way of suppressing their emotions might not be healthy but they are rational, objective, reasonable and consider every possibility before reaching a conclusion. They believe in giving the benefit of the doubt when unsure and generally are more level headed people.

Virgo moon can be quite difficult to me. When the person cares on emotional level, the occcurence of criticism can make me reach a boiling point. Having cancer moon with its sensitive nature, provided with the intensity my sun fuel it. Safe to say things can feel utterly ugly. Lol

I am just being in one of those bad moods, apparently. Haha

I definitely agree that Scorpio Moon is the worst and most challenging Moon placement (Moon in the 8th house is no walk in the park either). What I meant to say is that my second choice would be Virgo Moon. I see Virgo Moon as the mother who provides shelter and food for the kid (there is always breakfast on the table, the house is clean, clothes are ironed, etc.) and takes care of all their physical needs but ultimately tends to lack the emotional warmth and closeness which Cancer Moon has (or even Taurus Moon to some degree). However this is just my opinion. 🙂

Cannot imagine being double scorp let alone stellium. Hella heavy, I presume. Lol

My moon is in the 8th house so it's not in her comfy place. While cancer needs stability, her residence keeps transforming and whatnot. It's uh.. Tiring.

I agree about virgo moon (I happen to experience the one who also had his rising there). He did help much to how i perceive him. I believed he did actually felt something strong for me at that time. Just happens i was over sensitive and shit.

Having earth vibe around me should always be good as i need stability considering my placements. I'm attracted to earth signs in general. My fave sign is taurus tho, even it can clash and burn, i resonate well with them. Perhaps from south node thing.

What's your moon? Scratch that, leo moon, right? I think yes at the end of the day, after things have subsided we can truly appreciate earth moon for its stability.

Mars in Libra

Social Desires and Activity


The placement of Mars in Libra indicates that you are likely to have desires that spring from a need for social interaction and that your actions are likely to be influenced by your need for social relationship and harmony. This often manifests in a certain grace, balance and harmony in your actions because you are motivated to please others and you are careful not to cause social disharmony through your actions. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Libra are a result of your desire for and involvement with preserving social harmony.

The placement of Mars in Libra is often problematic. This is symbolized by the natural opposition between Libra and Mars-ruled Aries. Libra is the Cardinal Air sign. Libra’s association with the qualities of balance and harmony generally lead you to be concerned about how your actions may upset others. This hampers the assertiveness that is a function symbolized by Mars and an essential component of the Martian energy. You may often find that you must suppress your own desires and act in an environment of concern for others or even have to act through others. Thus, developing the Mars-symbolized functions to their full potential may be challenging.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Libra. This may present some problems, in that Libra is associated with a softer, more passive energy than is typically associated with the masculine. If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Libra-associated traits.



Qualities on Positive-Negative Continuum

Mars’s placement in Libra suggests that there are certain personality characteristics and qualities with which you identify. Typical Mars-Libra qualities are listed below, with positive qualities listed first and their more negative, or dysfunctional, counterparts listed afterward. These qualities are divided into four categories, corresponding to major Mars-symbolized functions: desires, mode of action, assertiveness/aggression and will.

Desires: Focus on relationships, for harmony (especially social harmony), takes into account the desires of others - Dominated by others’ desires, harmony at all costs

Mode of Action: Uses interpersonal relationships to attain goals, social, harmonious, organized in a balanced way, needs consensus to take action - Manipulates others to attain goals, too much time spent socializing, unwilling to take action that may cause conflict or offense, shirks individual responsibility

Assertiveness/Aggression: Non-aggressive, asserts only when supported by consensus, avoids conflict, careful not to hurt others’ sensitivities

Will: Sensitive to the will of others, strongest when backed by consensus, will to harmony - Nonassertive, indecisive, easily diverted

Transcendent Potential

You begin to realize the transcendent potential of Mars in Libra when you learn the balance between your own desires and those of others. This balance is achieved when you truly find pleasure in acting for the benefit of others, without the ulterior motivation of cultivating relationships or making others like you. This requires you to selflessly see what it is that pleases another. This practice, however, is only a training ground for action on the spiritual level. Here, your desires are brought into true harmony. This is only possible when they are focused toward the True and Harmonious One. Then all lower, selfish desires fall away. Now, your real relationship is with the Divine Beloved. All of your desire is for the Beloved and all of your actions are to please the Beloved.




Insecurity

When you are insecure in your selfhood, you are unsure of the role of self in your relation to others. This being the case, you are generally reluctant to be assertive in a relationship, for to be assertive, you must be aware of and confident of your own position. The result is that your actions are likely to be dominated by others’ desires. It is difficult for you to take independent action and you always seem to be dependent on another for direction. If called upon to take your own action or express your own desires, you cannot and look for someone else to act or to tell you what to do.

Aspecting influence

When Mars in Libra aspects other planets, the Libra energy is often transmitted through desires and patterns of action to affect the function symbolized by the aspected planet. The planetary function symbolized by the aspected planet may take on a harmonious, social quality typical of the mode of action symbolized by Libra. The qualities associated with Mars in Libra may be helpful or problematic, depending on the particular aspect involved.



Aspected

When the Mars in Libra is aspected by outer planets, your desires and mode of action are affected, particularly with respect to your drive for harmony and your ability to engage in interpersonal activities. The relationship between self and other with respect to will may also be affected within your psyche. Depending upon the aspecting planet and the aspect, the qualities expressed by Mars in Libra may be affected positively or negatively.



---------------------------------------------
Thank you!

Yes I'm right now have been goin a period of recluse. But when i do go out and hang out with friend(s) I always pay attention to what they want to do. If I assert my desire full on, i would feel guilty and unfair to the other person so in the end i will try to always find a middle ground on how to get the win-win. And with friends who were dominant, I just tag along with them partly coz my rising can enjoy pretty much everything or if its what i really really want then i would take turns with them, so it hasnt been that bad.

But what i noticed tho, ever since mid school, whenever I witness any clashes between friends in the same social circle, especially when we were hanginh out together, I was always the first to try mediating things, would speak to each opposing friend tryan do something that would cool down their disputes, even once, I ended up apologising for both of em, which was pretty silly, come to think of it but i just hated to see disputes, it messes my equilibrium. When I did see opposition directed toward me, I would tend to be passive and tried to presuasive charm them and if its not possible, i would just fled, which could make some other mars sign got even more furious, if all fails, i would feckin apologising for shit i didnt even do no wrong. That is how I sucked big time at fights. For some battles simply rest its case until bloodshed really occured. And sometimes from what ive learnt, fights is the only solution needed.

I know I've still got to learn much to get a handle of this part of myself, and remain balance in fulfilling my own desires and others, be discerning in managing oppositions.

Thanks for the info! I will keep the bold notes in mind 🙂

No worries, and you're most welcome. 🙂

Your chart is simply what it is – you don't get to re-roll it. And it's a big place, with plenty of transcendent potential and opportunity for learning and growth. As you get older, and with the benefit of experience, you'll grow into your chart. But the most important thing in any case is acceptance. Accept your chart, warts and all, and understand that there is no perfection: you're dealing with so many variables, so many things that are out of your control.

Don't attach too closely to your chart (or your worries about placements, etc), and thus you'll avoid getting mired in the waste and needlessness of self-fulfilling prophecy. Nothing is ever completely good or completely bad – you'll have plenty of both, and this understanding helps to create a healthy mix of insight and detachment.

Thank you 🙂

Yes I agree with you in not making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Also, our will power can detest the default pattern placed in our charts. At the end of the day how we act upon them can reflect how we truly are. Even though the tendencies are laid upon the charts, but it is not the final state of being for we have experiences, free will, nurture and many more to influence our growth.

In my recluse, partly it is for an inner search of deeper realm of myself. During this process I stumble upon stuff that has intruiged me much. I'm reaffirming myself and still discovering myself along the way. To perhaps find the answers to my questions of why things happen this way or that way related to myself and my life.

Thanks for the gentle reminder, Seraph 🙂

Mercury has dignity by face in the first 10º of Sagittarius and by term from 14º to 19º Sagittarius, otherwise is both in peregrine and detriment. With more dignity, Mercury would be more focused.

Mars has dignity by term from 24º to 30º Libra. Could add some drive and motivation to act.

Cool stuff! Thanks

My merc seems good enough its in 4°.

Mars isn't tho. I should push my drive even more then, work it out even better since drive/passion is very important to get ahead in life. Have a few desires but I seem to never really push it. Keep making excuses "oh its because the other person is this and that". That's a bunch of bs I'm making. Now I have to push it and to the vault! Still have to consider other people tho, lol

Do you have any detrimental planets? How does it play out in yourself and life?

I think it's just my Venus.

It gets real bad sometimes.
Venus detriment tiz or something else?

I have Venus in Scoprio, detriment, say no more
To be very honest, I've been looking for a scorp in venus guy to have some depth with in love.

The closest one I had was a guy with venus in scorp retro. Funny story, broke up like 6+ months ago, then last month during venus retro he was like trying it with me. Diplomatically wiggled my way out, then he came up with a text in the middle of the night, sayin, "I'm glad to have experienced your love. I apologise for my past selfishness. I wish you will be happy. We should stay being friends. I'm ready to move on now from you. Please be happy for me."

I was like, completely baffled. Mostly because of the fact I had never had any contacts for months with him.

Maybe it was that nostalgic ambiance venus retro served him lol

Still interesting story to share, I think 🙂

How does your venus in scorp play part in your love?
Wow interesting VIS story 🙂

Mine? haha...do you really want to know? I am impossible in romantic love....far too full on and demanding....so much so that i am keeping away from men in that way for the moment. Detriment = detrimental (for health) and sanity

😛


Sometimes I do feel it that way too, if i dont have someone in my heart, it is much much better. So I feel you. Scorpio energy can be too much at times, don't you think? Or am I just being negative?
Yes as I said full on and demanding

Insatiable

Oh no, that doesn't sound good. 😢

Do you think it will help to drop some expectations? Or an act of non-attachments? But the later option seems to almost impossible, don't you think?

Mercury has dignity by face in the first 10º of Sagittarius and by term from 14º to 19º Sagittarius, otherwise is both in peregrine and detriment. With more dignity, Mercury would be more focused.

Mars has dignity by term from 24º to 30º Libra. Could add some drive and motivation to act.

Cool stuff! Thanks

My merc seems good enough its in 4°.

Mars isn't tho. I should push my drive even more then, work it out even better since drive/passion is very important to get ahead in life. Have a few desires but I seem to never really push it. Keep making excuses "oh its because the other person is this and that". That's a bunch of bs I'm making. Now I have to push it and to the vault! Still have to consider other people tho, lol

Do you have any detrimental planets? How does it play out in yourself and life?

As a Mars in Pisces, I know acting can be hard. I guess my own trick is to simply not to worry much about it because I know whatever the result of my actions I will be responsible so trusting our own capacity to keep harmony in our environment is very important.

I don't have placements in detriment or fall, Sun and Jupiter are peregrine though. My Sun is actually quite debilitated. Everything else in my chart is workable or have support from other planets. But behind the weaknesses, there's got to be some strength I believe. People with a weak Sun can be more people oriented and not as self-service for example. While there are also the dangers of being influenced by negative energies due to a weak sense of self or taking someone else identity.

D is for day, N is for night.

Here is how to use the table with more clarity:

I have 3: Sag Mercury, Libra Mars, Scorpio Venus.
Oh wow, CopperDove (I almost slipped and refer to your name). We share those 2 detriment planets. Any domicile planet?

How does it play part in your life?

Oh we've been vibing well with each other,

ps: please be patient with my slow correspondence response, I'm utterly moody 😛




haha, good that you caught yourself before posting my name. :-) No problem about the slower correspondence -- take whatever time you need. :-)

Yes, we've been vibing well for sure and have those 2 detriments in common.

I don't have any domicile planets.

I can't say how it plays out in my life in terms of being negative with the detriment planets. I've thought about it a lot, but I never can understand how they're bad, only how, like all placements, there are good and bad qualities that can manifest.


on the note of how each placements has its upsides and downsides. You're right. So perhaps the best thing to derive any positive results from these so-called bad placements are to take the good qualities from it.

As in my mars in Libra, yes I tend to rationalize emotions when I get angry I cannot express it as well as others and instead will just take the other person's anger and try to work on how to manage my reactions to that. It can affect me in an unhealthy way, but it also promotes mediation in the midst of oppositions, therefore will prevent any worse drama from occuring. To also be rational in the midst of chaotic emotions can also help me move about in life, I think.

Whereas my merc, well.. my virgo mc cannot see this positively as I do with my mars. But I think since sagittarius vibe is up and about the future of things, so we have see positive prospects in everything? Not sure about this having to do with the placements lol

What do you think?

I agree -- if there's a challenging placement and/or aspect, maybe being conscious of the positive qualities can help. Maybe it takes more work to manifest the positives at times, but it's worth the effort.

That's a good description of how Libra Mars can be -- the positive, with being able to be rational even amidst chaos, is definitely helpful. I think Libra Mars can be strategic which is also very good.

Yes, Sag Mercury can see positive prospects, I think, and also I think it can be a bit visionary because it looks at the future and the bigger picture.

I see. I believe since pisces has a lot of self-less attribute, taking actions based on personal desire can be harder as well. Good thought on trusting ourselves (our capacity) in advancing from situations! Maybe that's what I need to embrace as well. For all of our actions are within our capacities yet of course we also have to keep expanding our capacities and improve.

Maybe it is because of this saturn and merc retro ambiance, but it's a really a good time for self assessment. Promote and reform our good and bad sides.

My sun is in the 12th, I resonate with the low energy in life. Sadness and gloom are my friends. But It simply serves to illuminate the darkness. Help people as well as myself through their toughest moments along the way, hopefully.

Just read about debilitated sun, is it in Libra? I know a bit, being interacting with someone who has that placement and safe to say that I feel him experiencing harsh moments in life. But he's progressing, I believe with his building maturity and stronger sense of self.

It seems that you have improved strongly. Yes there is always strength and weakness in us. Handle the weakness, promote the strength for our betterment is the key action we should take on.
