I have Mars conjoined Sun in the 12th house, Virgo. My aggression is hidden from view ...
When mars or saturn meets the explosive north node.

I have mars in gemini and am NOT two facedI have personal experience with an x partner to back up this statement with saturn mars and north node together in 12th house in aries. This person would get mad at me and disappear for hours or days (in the middle of a date or for a whole weekend) then come back and tell me how I should have known what I did wrong when they first disappeared. Very passive aggressive and I had to always wait and wonder what I did wrong?
FYI my experience with passive agressive mars ranked in order of most damaging passive aggressive to least (in my humble opinion)
That is a mars in gemini is really a tough customer to beat when they decide to be passive aggressive
Mars in gemini = two-faced, self-protective, too cool for school
Mara in leo = teasing turns into shaming in order to feel like an equal, but its all a joke after all!
Mars in Scorpio = any weapon is fair game!
Mars in libra = soft attack, won't ever be openly confrontational
Mars in cancer = emotional attack (unthinking actions later revealed for what they are)
Mars in virgo = extreme self-doubt causes pathetic jibes instead of actual confrontation
That's all for now. I know mars in cancer is not an easy placement, but most mars in cancers will cough up what they are feeling eventually in my humble estimation. As for mars in virgo, as someone with this placement, I can be passive aggressive, but not really successful at it and I prefer confrontation.
From Astrology for the Millions by Grant Lewi
Mars in Taurus -
You are a master of the art of passive aggression and passive resistance; whether your habits are right or wrong...you keep plowing along in the same furrow, and those who would oppose you generally stand to one side or get mowed down.
I have Mars in Libra and I would say I have a temper and I almost always show it on my face. Other people have told me this too lol. I try not to be passive aggressive, but I don't really like to fight unless it's worthwhile. Otherwise I just like to sweep it under the rug, but I do get mad secretly. But if it is important, I will confront the person, usually in a nice way, and that usually gets the job done.
I've read that Mars in Libra is one of the most passive aggressive placements in astrology. I suppose it's because our instinct is to not fight or cause confrontation, but it's humanly impossible to not feel angry and upset when certain things happen, thus rendering us "passive aggressive."
A Libra Mars is like a slow burning, inactive but seething volcano of massive destruction. lol!
Mars isn't "home" in Libra, it's home in Aries - the exact opposite of Libra.
Some characteristics I have with this placement are:
Choosing battles carefully or wisely.
Detest arguing over BS and nonsense that doesn't even matter, triviality.
Arguing with someone who doesn't matter to me.
Ability to ignore situations that are not deemed "worthy" of my anger.
If I care about someone and something they've done is bothering me, I weigh all possible angles, maybe they didn't mean it - I tell them really calmly what my issue is (even if I'm angry as hell), and just see what they have to say.
If I see they start getting angry, I tell them to chill and we'll talk later
The positive side of Mars in Libra is someone who roots for the underdog, is not argumentative, weighs every side to an issue, thinks before acting, wants to compromise instead of "winning", doesn't have much of a temper, puts others first
and that's only the good stuff ...
And now the not-so good stuff - the stuff you were asking about
The negative side is yes, because of all this underlying unexpressed anger, they can be very passive aggressive, can bottle their anger or anything that isn't pleasant for a loooong time, run from conflict, not see that they can be wrong. If something is perceived as "unjust" to them - something that hurts them, they are literally plotting that person's demise . Mars in Libra can dream up ways to take back the "fairness" and make things seem right again but hardly act on it quickly. If really angry - and they get to that threshold, they can blow up like a volcano.
it depends on the person as to which side they express. it also depends on the aspects mars makes, its house position, the position of venus (mars ruler here), as well as the rest of the chart.
If you consider the words used "passive" and "aggressive," what signs comes to mind?
For me:
Passive: Cancer, Pisces, Libra
Aggressive: Leo, Aries, Scorpio
My thinking (and experience) makes me look at rulerships.
Moon, Neptune, Venus
Moon feels need, Neptune lacks self-awareness and Venus desires.
Sun says, "Hear me roar", Aries says, "Me First" and Scorpio says, "I'm taking notes"
It's all a mishmash. But combo's of these signs & planets can lean toward passive-aggressive personalities.
