Winning isn’t everything—but it is something, especially when it comes to asserting ourselves. Every sign has a different tactic for arguing and confrontation based on the placement of Mars in their birth chart. Mars, the planet of war and action, changes its strength and needs when in different signs.

So basically, knowing your opponent’s Mars sign can help you strategize and win. Oh, and help mend conflict peacefully. But mostly win. *evil laugh*

Mars in Aries

This is one of the strongest placements for the warrior planet, so tread lightly. They love to fight and need you to argue back to show you care. Just don’t let your side of the conflict become too intense—i.e., no yelling, name-calling, or Real Housewives reunion-ing—because then you won’t make up. Stay strong and calm, mmkay?

Mars in Taurus

This type = extremely passive-aggressive. They’ll use gaslighting tactics to achieve their goals. They don’t want to necessarily win an argument because they don’t like arguing, but they will spin you around in circles until you give up. The only option here is to avoid confrontation altogether and not to engage with their drama ever. Walk! Away!

Mars in Gemini

Words are the weapon of choice here. Arguments can speed up from 0 to 100 mph extremely fast. Like, lightning speed. In order to win an argument with this placement, it’s important to let them talk first. Interject your opinions and discuss their points after they’ve talked for hours—because they just want to be heard.

Mars in Cancer

Mars in Cancer uses their emotions to argue, so it’s important to be careful of manipulation and gaslighting when dealing with this energy. The only way to stop them in their tracks: Give them space to process their feelings. They argue more when faced with confrontation—therefore, a time-out allows them to reassess their actions.

Mars in Leo

When arguing with a Mars in Leo, chances are they will make the discussion only about them—how you upset them, their needs, their heartaches. Make sure to tell them how wonderful they are and how they’re at the top of their game mid-argument. Kissing up to them will distract them and calm them down.

Mars in Virgo

Well, your Mars in Virgo counterpart fights smartly. They will have all the facts ready when they rumble, so it’s important to be as agreeable as possible (mostly because you’ll be surprised at what information they have up their sleeves). Try complying instead of fighting. They’ll drop the dramz if you apologize kindly—TBH, they are not fighters by nature.

Mars in Libra

Mars in Libra hates to disturb the peace and doesn’t do well when unbalanced. The sheer thought of being in an argument with another person will give them anxiety, as they don’t know how to be forceful. To win, you only need to tell them how you feel. They’ll ruminate over it for a few minutes and then meet you halfway.

Mars in Scorpio

Mars in Scorpio is not adverse to using mind games to ensure they win the good fight. In order to combat this game, you’ll have to put on your best poker face and call their bluff. Yes, they do pick up on vibes intuitively, but sometimes they’re wrong—which is what you’ll have to prove with receipts.

Mars in Sagittarius

Be careful when dealing with someone who has Mars in Sag, mmkay? First of all, they love to play devil’s advocate and can be hurtful with the way they assert themselves (they shoot their arrows straight to the heart). And they always have to have the last word. You’ll win the fight if you act unbothered, as they’ll apologize shortly after.

Mars in Capricorn

PSA: You may not win a fight when dealing with a Mars in Capricorn. They won’t stop bickering until they’ve won the argument and won’t submit to apologizing (even if they are wrong). Be agreeable and briefly express how you feel. Give them a moment to simmer down and they’ll come around to see your side of the matter.

Mars in Aquarius

If you don’t put demands or rules on those who have Mars in Aquarius in their charts, they’ll back down from the dramz. They only snap when they feel as though they are being controlled and regulated. Give them the chance to make their own resolutions when arguing with them. And please ignore their snide word choice, which can hurt, I know.

Mars in Pisces

Mars in Pisces swims away from confrontation. They are comfortable discussing matters on their terms but can never see the other side of the situation. Let them feel their feels and be angry for a hot minute. They’ll be totally okay if you leave them alone to work through their anger on their own without your presence or input.
