War and peace

Mars, the red planet, named after the Roman god of war, makes an ingress into Libra, the sign of marriage, romantic relationships and close business ties.

Mars brings with it energy, action and fiery drive on both sides of the spectrum: the positive and the negative.

On the positive side, we have stamina, drive, passion, energy to pursue a concern — the Libra matters. Consider everything in a couple: the need for communication, time, intimacy, space and everything in between. And while making space for the couple’s needs is the couple’s fight with the world, there are also plenty of battles inside the couple that Mars is bringing gas to.

On the other side of the spectrum, we have the negative expression, where too much Mars energy leads to destruction. Revenge and anger may get out of control and blow up from within — that needs to be tempered.

Be careful when talking to your partner in the next 6 months as Mars enters the relationship sector. A spark can turn into a wildfire that will burn everything in its way.

Oct 2–5: Mars conjunct South Node / Mars-North Node opposition

Before leaving Libra, the Lunar Nodes in aspect to Mars will test our maturity. As you may have heard, since July 17, the Lunar Nodes entered the Aries-Libra axis, and they are all about how we position as an individual and as a person within a relationship. And yes, they are about karma, in these signs: about karma in relationships from 18 to 19 years ago, 36 to 37 years ago, and so on.

During October 2–5 we’ll have a North Node-Mars opposition and a South Node-Mars conjunction to 0–1 degree orb — potent influence!

Mark the dates on your calendar and send yourself daily reminders to be extra careful how you act in your relationships, because balancing karma is heightened during these aspects. And, yes, ‘balancing karma’ is the elevated way to express how you’re paying for how you acted in relationships 18 to 19 years ago or you are writing your future history patterns. Choose to create from compassion and assertiveness, not something you surely would dislike experiencing as a result of what you plant during this transit.

Libra and Enemies

Libra and enemies

In classical interpretations, Libra is also the sign of enemies. Mars transiting through Libra in likely to activate that kind of energy, either by transforming a once supportive partner into a bitter ex or by bringing wind to the fire of someone who is envious of you. This is valid in couples but also in close business partnerships. If you have a close one on one collaboration with someone and you often feel like their focus (or yours!) is to point the other person’s mistakes instead of working together for progress, then… pay attention. Think twice if you want to engage in activities that give your precious time and energy away. 

If you would like for me to develop specifically how each Sun Sign is affected by this Mars in Libra transit — and the Lunar Nodes aspect, let me know in a comment.
