When transiting Mars in the 10th house went stationary in close square to my natal Venus I suddenly lost my temper with a difficult person at work, and quite a major argument ensued. Thankfully the situation was not “life-threatening” (hard Mars transits are not usually malefic in the sense that hard transits of Saturn and the outer planets may be considered so).
I don’t think I had ever before lost my temper with anybody at work.
Having been through the experience/transit myself, the advice I would give to others is to watch out for any kind of situation which might lead you to anger, as it might creep up on you without you being aware of it, since Mars (anger) is touching an aspect of yourself which is usually charming and eager to please (Venus). As the transit approaches, carefully examine your life, especially any areas in which you display a strong Venus, to see whether there’s anything causing you any potential aggravation.
