Do you let people stop you? People try to stop me all the time. It’s been this way all my life.
The same people who tried to stop me earlier in life or last year or whenever, come back and try to stop me again. You’d think they’d catch on. If you couldn’t stop me last time, you’re probably going to fail again and hey! Don’t you have your own life to be concerned with?
Prowess (Mars) is in vogue as Mars enters Aries today, March 12th. I am so sure of this, I am writing this in February!
That’s right. I am brash and I am confident! And if I was going to be stopped, I think we’d know that by now!
Do you let people stop you? Where is your Mars?

Depends on whether I believe the fight is worth it. [Mars in Taurus.]
You’re changing lanes on a highway and a car enters the same lane in front of you with or w/out a signal. You’re walking down a grocery aisle and a customer 5ft down the aisle decides to push their basket in front of you; even if they’re facing you impeding your progress down the aisle. The light turns green, you have the right of way, a jaywalker decides he wants to cross the street, impeding your progress. Then, you have no choice – you have to let them stop you.
Yes, temporary, Elsa. Also, when a decision I make might create a financial crisis I let a person stop me.
Mars in Leo makes me headstrong, argumentative and prone to battle for those who need a hand. It also makes me bossy and inclines to arrogance. Conjunct Pluto, it gives huge energy when I’m in tune with my inner self, though. And with Saturn squaring the conjunction, I’m keen to move into a point where I can see the runaway train heading into battle and steer it, instead of crashing it. Aries today seems to be concentrating my mind on what’s needed, right now.
Oh Elsa, I like this question, my Mars is in Scorpio, grand water trine in chart. I met this guy a few years ago in March, his Saturn was in Scorpio, the textbook rule of degree aspect wasn’t a hit for my Mars but, conjunct my Neptune. Of course the relationship was a real learning experience. I am insightful, and when someone has something to hide, they will go out of thier way to stop me. We were in a mediumship class together, the more info I was picking up the more he was telling me I needed to learn to shut it off, and he would be glad to teach me how to do that. The relationship started up fast, I saw all the red lights and warnings and still proceeded. Back then I doubted myself, today I know not to. In a way he did stop me, his actions stopped me from trying to prove I was right about him, for my own safety I acted as if I was wrong and went on my way. I have no stop button or turn off switch, thank god, but I can choose to ignore it when needed. This is always an insightful time of year for me, and there is a pattern of times when people wanted to stop me. Thank you for reminding me.
Mars in Cancer in fourth. Conjunct Uranus. No,I always have to go right into something all the way to see if it will “work” for me, and then if it doesn’t I pull out. I don’t take advice very well.. I have to just DO IT MYSELF and see. I can’t tell from a distance,either,I just get into the soup and swim around a while and if it works it works, if not I move on to the next project. I have had a few careers in my life (astrology/tarot work is the one that stuck) and many changes of residence of course.
I can’t imagine why other people WANT to stop other people from living the way they have to!!!!!
I am all too familiar with this. Sun and Mars in Leo, H7. If I draw them to me, this still shouldn’t matter. I have my free will and I have never harmed anyone. Move along.
I wish I were like you, Elsa. Put up a block and succeed anyways. But… in the wholly proverbial sense…I’m a very fertile soil. So if people plant seeds in me, they take root, consciously and subconsciously. For good or bad.
Which is why I have to keep the bad people out of my life. I can only keep the people that believe in me –otherwise, my Mars in Taurus steam withers away.
My Mars is in the 10th -so I’m ambitious and high-achieving by nature. But I’m also impressionable with it conjunct Moon –so if people feed me crap, I believe that too. Sucks! 
My husband stops me all the time and my Mom tends to agree with him. Me being the Bull Taurus never listen and go with my gut feeling. I always am happy when I listen to my gut. I love that gut of mine 
. My husband is starting to say that I never listen to him or anyone. Guess what, I am so happy I don’t!
Anything or anyone can stop me, easily. I’m very easily persuaded or trumped by logic and reason or just trumped by other humans into stopping.
But I don’t exactly have indomitable will and conviction and motivation to keep going when the shitstorm starts, either.
If I told you my Mars situation, you wouldn’t believe this of me AT ALL, but… I just don’t have that drive to mow over everyone in my way.
Mars-Saturn-Pluto stellium in Leo. Yes, people do stop me with that energy in the 7th and 8th houses. Drama! But all of this aspects my Scorpio stellium in the 10th and 11th and like you said to Windsalot “it’s temporary.” A very wise woman and heroine of mine — Manu Aluli Meyer told me when one plan is thwarted, “2,000 year plan” … gives my (Saturn)a way to patiently re-build on my core values over time.
Stop who? Who’s gonna stop me? No one. Simple as. Mars is in Aquarius so once I’ve thought it over logically and then emotionally (scorp stellium) then I’m going. I’ve had to amputate people as a result of their constant trying to stop me nonsense. They should worry about their own glass house and let me worry about mine so that I can throw stones at it with pleasure. Hehe!
*throw stones at my own home just to verify.
My 1st house mars says no, though I do try to accomadate others/family (mars in cancer). But if someone is just standing in the way of what I want, well, they don’t usually stand there very long. I’m loaded with cardinal and mutable, so if they don’t move, I can always go around if I see the chance

Often I do feel blocked, by someone or something, when I try to do something. I have Mars square Saturn.
Yes. If a partnership or some type of engagement looks like it won’t work or if my plans look untenable, I let people stop me all the time. Though I will just start over elsewhere.
No I don’t let them stop me. One woman tried to stop me today. I had to circuit my way through a bureaucracy until I was helped. All I did was point out how mercilessness the woman who tried to stop me was and I said to myself, screw her I’m calling back and talking to someone else. So I did and now I was helped. My Mars is in Scorpio in the 10th house under Equal house system but its conjunct Saturn so it all depends sometimes on who I run into.
However, I will say when it comes to education you can’t do much. For instance I tried appealing for financial aid I didn’t get it so there isn’t much I can do. If I talk to the dean she is going to confirm what the financial aid director said so its pointless to waste my energy on some things. Then I was denied entry into class because of a late add. I think people who are utterly merciless get recycled into their own mercilessness one day or another.
One last thing I think we can’t get everything we want cause its not good for our progress. Maybe I’m not supposed to get into more debt and maybe I am not supposed to get into that class. So fine I’ll move on to my other courses and focus on them
yep..story of my life really.
my family..! mars in cancer.
I can’t even stop myself. Mars in Scorpio conj Uranus sextile Saturn and Jupiter.
yup all the time, mars in cancer. but my scorp sun is stubborn as hell and squarius rising makes me say fuck it and just move on, without ever looking back.
Natal Mars in Aries… enough said.
Sometimes. Often, the more they try to stop me, the more I rebel and go through with it.
I don’t understand why they never seem to ‘get’ it.
Mars in Leo in the 8th
In the cases where I let someone stop me it’s because I didn’t really care too much to begin with or I feel insecure about whether I should really push it. On the other hand, if it’s something I really feel is right or right for me I just keep on going and gallop around the obstruction, Saggo Moon. My mother says trying to control me or get me to do something against what I want is like getting in the ring with Mike Tyson. Ain’t happenin’!
People have always tried to stop me as well. Less so the older I get. I have Mars in 3rd. I would say I let them stop me and in some instances, helped them stop me. It took a long time for me to own my rights so to speak and really know myself. It’s getting better now. But I am really fed up with people who try to stop me in life. To the point where, nearing 50, i’m very blunt and cold when shutting them and their efforts down. That’s not great but it’s going to take me time to ease into doing this gracefully.

Actually I think I stop myself more than I let others stop me. But yes, I’m guilty of that also. It’s getting better the older I get, specially after 40, now headed to into 47, I think i’m more stubborn & will not be stopped if only to prove I CAN do it!!It’s not them i’m proving this too, but only myself! As with everything in life right? in the end it’s only with ourselves we have competed.
