Mars In Libra Is Here — & It’s Time For You To Chill

Mars’s entrance into Libra on August 6th allows us to decompress. The summer has been full of retrogrades, so we’ll relish being drama-free, but only if we opt out of engaging and immersing ourselves in people’s problems. So, quit people-pleasing (which will be hard to do) and take steps towards attaining your power. 

Mars in Libra aligns with the underdog. This transit will urge us to place our bets on those who aren't predicted to prevail. We want to ensure everyone gets a piece of the pie and is able to reach great heights. Mars in Libra has a sympathetic heart that wants everyone to have a chance at success. The winner doesn't take it all: They share their trophy and winnings with everyone on the team. Mars in Libra is about fairness, so nothing is more rewarding than everyone coming out on top. Victory for all!

Mars in Libra is more of a lover than a fighter. However, it doesn't mean we won’t have our irritable moments. But, mostly, instead of barking orders or yelling, we will be more passive throughout the next several weeks. This can create a lot of difficulties in relationships because we won't be assertive and expressive. We’ll want people to just know how we feel, by using their intuition, which can be challenging. Committing to decisions will not be easy either, as Mars in Libra can be flaky. The best way to navigate the situation is to live in the moment. Sometimes, we may feel we must partake in activities we don’t like to avoid conflict. But you should know that you do not have to. Rather than succumbing to peer pressure, suggest things that interest you to the group. If they choose not to engage, it is okay to do them solo. Your happiness is more important than anything else. 

Over the next weeks, Mars in Libra wants us to define what we want to achieve. It might be hard, especially with intense aspects hindering the action planet from moving forward. The biggest stand out is the opposition Mars in Libra shares with Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries on August 8th and 9th. This tense energy encourages us to try and push past the roadblocks that have been standing in our way. Frustrations will rise, making us temperamental and angry. The best way to handle the situation is to reflect and contemplate what we want to achieve in the future. Rather than use all of our energy on these immovable obstacles, we should rest. 

The good news is that by the time Mars ends its journey in Libra, we will feel limitless. First, we must learn how to deal with and resolve conflict and to stand up for ourselves. We will be able to cope with issues in a peaceful manner that encourages us to problem solve and create better outcomes.
