Mars Enters Libra on August 27. The fiery planet will remain there until October 12. During this time, we might be more focused on relationships and cooperation. We will want to find balance in all areas of our lives, and we will be more likely to seek out compromise.
When Mars is in Libra, its assertiveness encounters the balancing influence of Libra’s scales. This creates unique energy, blending action with diplomacy and passion with harmony. We are feeling more charismatic, charming and have an easier time with social situations.
We will be open to seeing many sides of an issue, so we can become indecisive about how to act. We could be reluctant to take action because of this.
Being petty and passive aggressive is another part of Mars in Libra’s energy. We may find ourselves arguing with others more than usual. We don’t want to be the bad guy. We are indirect in our approach with arguments and are more inclined toward mental debates. We will be trying to keep our opposition comfortable though, which can lead to not communicating ourselves clearly.
With Mercury in Retrograde during this transit, we may find ourselves struggling to communicate clearly and concisely as it is. We must consciously navigate our minds and emotions, so that our words come out clearly to avoid unnecessary confusion and to keep arguments from escalating. Use that broad view from Mars in Libra’s energy to pinpoint solutions, not to cloud our minds more. Be open to new ideas and also willing to compromise.
If we can harness the positive energy of Mars in Libra, we can use it to create harmony in our life. We strive for balance. It’s a great time for strategy and teaming up to reach a goal. Work with others to find solutions that work for everyone. And don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in, even if it means disagreeing with others.
This unique energy can be used to learn how to assert ourselves, while being calm and collected. Embracing passionate desires and the quest for harmony can help to navigate life’s challenges and understand others.
