Common Themes in Mars at 2°40' Libra InterpretationsThe interpretations for Mars at 2°40' Libra from the listed sources share the following motifs:Intellectual and Creative Potential:A strong emphasis on intellectual or creative capacity runs through the interpretations. Carelli describes a "titanic intelligence" mastering complex physical laws. Chandra speaks of an "imaginative map of the world" and an innovative, inward journey. Charubel highlights knowledge of a "law in nature not popularly recognized." Henson and Janduz point to aptitude in scientific, medical, or artistic fields. Muir connects advancement in art or science to psychic exploration, while the Sabian symbol (a "new day" revealing changed values) suggests transformative innovation. Bardon’s Peekah, though practical (inspiring culinary arts and stock-farming), reflects inventive contributions to human progress.
Sensitivity and Vulnerability:Many sources note a fragility, often physical or emotional, that contrasts with the native’s potential. Carelli mentions a "weak, sickly, powerless frame" and persecution by ignorance or prejudice. Kozminsky describes struggles against "immaterial, visible cords" and psychic dangers. Leinbach portrays a delicate, sensitive nature unable to cope with the world’s harshness, retreating inward when rebuffed. Henson and Weber note physical frailty or less robust health, underscoring a tension between inner strength and external limitations.
Challenges and Opposition:External or internal struggles are a recurring theme. Carelli warns of potential misanthropy, banishment, or suffering due to societal ignorance. Kozminsky highlights psychic entanglement and forces opposing success. Chandra describes isolation from societal feedback, being "blind, deaf, and dumb" to external perceptions. Leinbach’s melancholic native faces the world’s meanness with non-resistance, suffering in silence. Charubel suggests a "terrible power frustrating" if the native fails to make their mark.
Moral or Spiritual Orientation:A spiritual or ethical dimension is evident in several interpretations. Janduz describes a "generous, gentle, melancholic" character with high moral and humanistic values. Leinbach’s native seeks truth, turning to God or inner wisdom when challenged by the world. Muir ties psychic exploration to purity and advancement in art or science. The Sabian symbol’s "dawn of a new day" suggests a transformative purpose aligned with new values or a higher calling.
Service to Others:The native’s efforts often aim to benefit others. Bardon’s Peekah inspires practical advancements in culinary arts and stock-farming for humanity’s benefit. Henson’s native is sympathetic and industrious, often drawn to medical or service fields. Weber notes dedication to service professions, and Janduz emphasizes scientific contributions that yield discoveries for the future. The Sabian symbol implies a role as an innovator contributing to cultural or social progress.
ConclusionThe interpretations for Mars at 2°40' Libra share themes of intellectual or creative innovation, sensitivity paired with vulnerability, challenges from external opposition or internal struggles, a moral or spiritual orientation, and a drive to serve others. The native is depicted as a pioneer with significant potential to advance knowledge or society, whether through science, art, or practical contributions, but they face obstacles such as physical frailty, societal misunderstanding, or psychic entanglement. Their resilience and commitment to higher values or collective welfare enable them to strive for transformative impact, often requiring them to balance inner vision with external realities.

- Mars 02°40' Libra - Carelli
2-3 deg Libra
A titanic intelligence in a weak, sickly, powerless frame; a mind apt to master the most baffling physical laws, chained to a body subject to the meanest physical miseries, and probably exposed to the persecution of ignorance, local patriotism and prejudice, all coalesced on a common front. Its slogan may well be spiritus promptuo caro autem infirma.
A forerunner of things to come, the native will strive to conform to his own principles-whether scientific, religious or artistic-but his uncompromising purposefulness may stray into self-centeredness and misanthropy, giving way to a repulsive hardness of heart.
Of the whole horoscope alone we must ask if the native’s knowledge will conquer human ignorance to be conquered by it, whether his toils will yield riches and welfare or suffering and famine; in a word, if glory or banishment from home or, even worse, the workhouse or the lunatic asylum or a jail will fall to his share.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Bardon
207: Peekah (3° Libra) - This head already taught the primitive peoples of the days of yore by inspiration that animal meat eaten in a raw state is not so delicious as roasted or cooked. He inspired a few individuals how to tell the difference between the various kinds of meat by tasting them and taught them by intuition to prepare many meat dishes. For the preparation of such meat dishes man started rearing domestic animals, so that during the course of time stock-farming was developed, whereby Peekah has always been, and still is, a good inspirer of mankind also in this respect. Smoked and tinned meat also come under the competence of this head. If requested by the magician, this intelligence will initiate him into the art of cooking and will acquaint him with many recipes for the preparation of meat dishes which so far have never been known.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Chandra
LIBRA 3 An inaccurate, imaginative map of the world. Subjective depths become all-permeating. The surface facts seem like nothing. You are plunged into your internal voyage, and compelled to take it up blindly and innovatively. You cannot depend upon anybody's previous experience, for you are moving into a whole different reality--inward development as a total way of life, yet surrounded and beset by pressures, demands, and distorted reflections. You therefore have to operate virtually oblivious to the feedback loop of the sociocultural sphere--to be blind, deaf, and dumb to how anything appears to anybody. And to act as though the inner world you are cooking up for the future is all that counts, and everything else is a blur of facts, figures, and passing semblances.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Charubel
A long pole suspended horizontally in mid-air with a rope attached to each end connected with the earth. Denotes one who may have a knowledge of a law in nature not popularly recognized, whose operations are as marvelous as that of the pole in mid-air. If such an one does not make his or her mark in his day, there must be some terrible power frustrating.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Henson
2-3 deg Libra
Doctor or surgeon; the symphony; the violin; medical fields; sensitive and reserved but deeply sympathetic; creative; honest and industrious; usually sees both sides of a question but cannot be turned from his convictions; adrenals (abscess).
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Janduz
2 Libra "A priest burns incense on the ancestors' altar." Generous, gentle, and melancholic character endowed with sharp intelligence and high moral and humanistic values. Beneath contemplative appearances, one is very efficient in scientific research. Solitary work based on past successful experiences yields valuable discoveries for the future.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Kozminsky
2-3 deg Libra Symbol: A young girl striving to escape from immaterial, but visible, cords which surround her; the more she struggles the more they increase.
Denotes one who is in danger of being drawn into psychic conditions from which escape is difficult. Such a one should refrain from dabbling in matters he does not thoroughly understand. Danger in connection with occult or psychic matters is threatened and much suffering there from. Love affairs may embarrass, especially 292
if intertwined with occult practices. The native will be gifted in some branch of art or science, but there is a peculiar force fighting against his success and against which a calm placidity is the only protection. It is a symbol of Involving.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Leinbach
2-3 deg Libra
Natives of this degree are usually too weak to cope with the meanness of this world. Their abilities are delicate and refined. They are sensitive and feel everything keenly. They have strong convictions but prefer not to express themselves in a commanding way. Their opinions must be carefully drawn out and listened to quietly with respect, if one is interested in tapping their wisdom. When rebuffed by the world they turn to God or within themselves. They spend their lives searching for one truth after another; defensive of what they know, while leaving the overall pattern flexible and open to new truth as they discover and prove it to themselves. They have a melancholic nature which is expectant of the worst and simply meet with a form of non-resistance which suffers more or in silence.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Muir
2-3 deg Libra
Desirous of understanding be is lead to psychics and receives help thereby according to his strongest inclinations. The purer the life the greater the advancement in art or science.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Sabian
PHASE 183 (LIBRA 3°): THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY REVEALS EVERYTHING CHANGED.
KEYNOTE: The ever-present possibility of beginning again on a new foundation of values.
This symbol hardly needs to be interpreted, except for pointing out that these first three symbols beginning the second hemicycle of the cyclic process should be seen as a basic trinity. It can be related to the process of true Initiation: (1) The experience of the undying Form of perfection; (2) The release of the energy incorporated in the Form in order to reach “That-which-is-beyond-form-and-name”; (3) The re-embodiment of energy in a new creative Act.
The third stage of this thirty-seventh sequence leads us to a vision of the fulfilled purpose of the first half of the cycle. What emerged hesitantly from the ocean of infinite potentiality (Aries 1°) now faces a totally new world in a truly individualized form of existence. He or she is ready to act significantly in the sphere of culture and social togetherness, the sphere in which an individual, aware of his archetypal essence and planetary function, can play his true role (dharma). In a basic sense it is always a new role, for no cycle repeats itself as far as its contents are concerned. The person who plays this role is always potentially an INNOVATOR.
- Mars 02°40' Libra - Weber
2-3 deg Libra
Capricorn abetted by mental, diversified, fussy Virgo - down to earth, practical, dry influence with Libra’s pleasant dedication may take to medical or service professions, Often less than robust and healthy itself. Creative, industrious, capable of precision and determination - valuable traits in a variety of vocations. Like most Libras, well liked, but earth elements (especially Virgo) are less romantic and attractive. Toils may be heavy - too heavy - unless lighter, innovative, artistic vocations can be found.
