Mars in Capricorn shows their strength in the face of a concrete demand. They may show little interest in physical activity unless it’s part of a discipline they already practice. But when a task requires effort, they can surprise others with their endurance and their ability to sustain it. The image of climbing a mountain illustrates that strength.
Their anger tends to show without big scenes, although they make sure others notice what is happening. They may slam a door, withdraw to their room or go out for a walk to put some distance between themselves and the situation and calm down.
They find it hard to talk while they are upset. They don’t enjoy scenes and can keep outward control even when they feel provoked. If they respond, sarcasm or a hurtful phrase may take the place of shouting.
Their silence can be a way of regaining control. Once the tension eases, they need to find words so their partner understands the discomfort and the conversation doesn’t stop at the defensive response.
