I didn't take anything personally earlier, by the way. I was just commenting. I woke up in a bad mood, and it didn't go away today. I'm feeling run down, and depressed - like the early stages of a fever, but I've also just been really depressed over things in my life. That's why I was mostly quiet until recently.
I was thinking that I can be competitive at times - I don't see it as a bad thing, when people are competitive in a fun way. But when I feel it in other ways, it's a reminder that I've already lost. I shouldn't be in that position in the first place. When I question why someone would put me in that position, there are no good reasons. So most of the time, it hasn't been a problem, but I do feel it at times.

Yeah, they're unnecessarily confrontational, capable of complete lack of objectivity, and obnoxiously argumentative at times due to stress or lack of sleep or whatever, but they're decent human beings. That is so true!!!!! My Sun/Mars combo is in Libra. Whenever I felt something was "wrong" I stood up for the entire group and said it. My children have a wide Sun/Mars combo in Scorpio. My son always provokes people until he can "participate" in a fight. I told him that it is not a good idea and it may hurt someday. My daughter fights for any point in a test with a teacher that is not given to her. I know that some teacher changed the phrasing of the questions, because of her  . |

I love that sun-Mars reading, whisperix .  I tend to like people with strong Mars signatures because I feel they can handle me. That is good to see. Sometimes I have the feeling that people are afraid of me. |

When I question why someone would put me in that position, there are no good reasons. This is a question I asked myself several times in my life and I have not clue either. In my personal opinion ~ The other peoples lives is pretty boring compared to mine. ~ I am a very interesting person.  Years ago it was to much for me and I closed my doors and lived a life that was away from any interaction with people. I have learned a lot of lessons and found my inner freedom. I came to my personal conclusion that I cannot change the world, but I can change myself and do the best I can with the little thing on earth that I am. |

An example of Sun-Mars work ethic (more so for the conjunction, I suppose, but perhaps the others too, to some extent): Marco-Pierre White.*** "Hard work" doesn't even begin to describe his level of commitment... He lives and breathes food, and a lot of Sun-Mars people are just as immersed in whatever they do. "Career" is too shallow a word for it. It's not their career, or job, or 'ladder to the top' - it's their life. They'll be doing it with as much fervour for free or for minimum wage as they would for a $300k salary.
The square can be a lot more competitive/confrontational. Of course, they're also super-competent and can blow through a lot of work relatively quickly. But it takes a while to harness that energy in a way that works well with others. They can rub people the wrong way without meaning to. My friends with the square are continually frustrated with others (and vice-versa), and they genuinely are innocent in that they don't realize how they come across. I'm a Sun-Mars person myself, so I like (and can handle) their spunk. Others might take it personally, while the Sun-Mars person is just being themselves.
They're only rushing forward to get to their goal, and they think everyone else is doing the same. So, they might end up stepping on people's toes without realizing it. I almost feel like a part of them thrives on conflict(?) I mean, they do seem sad/angry about all the unnecessary drama, but they also lowkey stir the pot when there isn't any... It's like having a younger sibling who's constantly trying to provoke a fight so you'll do something that they can then get mad about. Ha, it's cool though. My Sun-Mars can play along. The key is not to hold grudges or take it personally when they do or say things that seem too aggressive. It really isn't personal, it's like their brain is permanently on 3 cans of Red Bull.
***(Well, the person cited above is not exactly known to be easy to work with either.. However, even with the harsher manifestations of the conjunction, there's a force-field around these people that motivates others to be *on* their team & work with them, rather than against them. Their obvious passion and dedication to their craft inspires grudging respect among friends and critics alike.)

Just leaving this here for some more info in case anybody's interested:
A few of my friends have this (I love you guys, but you crazy  ). What she says is pretty spot-on.
:ETA: I don't really buy the whole "alpha/beta" concept. But the point she's making is probably just about people that are secure enough to be with a strong character.
