From August 27 to October 12, planet of action, sex, and energy will be in the cardinal sign Libra.
Mars in Libra, known for its astute analysis of matters, expresses itself through words, sometimes salty and sometimes sweet. Instead of picking up their swords to fight, Mars in Libra protects their heart by wearing armor that shields and safeguards them. Mars last aspected Libra from October 22, 2021 to December 15, 2021, so we haven’t dealt with this celestial vibe in a long time.
The benefit of this astronomical occurrence is that we will want to weigh all issues to ensure they are treated fairly. Knowing when and how to compromise is a necessary skill if everyone’s interests are to be met. To be honest, negotiation is essential in relationships. Nobody leaves empty-handed, and everyone believes they have been heard. This Mars-Libra combination will fight against injustice in any form, even if it does not directly affect them, making Mars in Libra an SJW for causes close to their hearts.
Libra significantly weakens Mars. This is a sign that dislikes putting forth much effort, the polar opposite of the action planet. Furthermore, this placement is neither competitive nor aggressive. As a result, it can prevent us from achieving our goals and desires because Mars in Libra weighs its options before making decisions (which can take time because Libra is an airy indecisive zodiac sign). Rather than acting out, Mars in Libra can be sneaky to avoid arguments and then gaslight people when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Mars in Libra can be distant in relationships. Libra is the only zodiac sign that does not have a heart, which is why they can appear cold at times. When it comes to conflict, Mars in Libra prefers to avoid any type of heated debate. If they are involved in a dramatic conflict, Mars in Libra will defend themselves until the end in order to be fair. Instead of deep discussions, they will engage in lighthearted conversations and flirting. Mars in Libra prefers to be perceived as jovial and fun, so they avoid intense situations or relationships. They want to live a life of peace and harmony, and nothing can stand in their way. The ability to take a step back and pause before reacting is beneficial because Mars in Libra will be able to think things through and choose their words wisely.
Mars is also associated with our sexual desires. Mars in Libra’s lovemaking style includes give and take. To feel sexually satisfied and fulfilled, their partner must have as many orgasms as them at the same intensity level. Mars in Libra enjoys role-playing, but they prefer to connect with their partner on a more relaxed level: they don’t require extreme thrills in the boudoir. However, because they are so concerned with appearances, setting the mood is essential. Their concept of foreplay includes romantic ambiance, sexy lingerie, and sensual music playing in the background. When it comes to choosing a favorite sexual position, however, they prefer to be more passive and allow others to take control. Because Libra rules the buttocks, a gentle flogging on their buttocks will be a huge turn on.
Mars in Libra will be temperamental and moody this time around due to its alignment with the South Node of Destiny. The presence of Pluto retrograde and the centaur Chiron, who is also retrograde, provides us with the opportunity to work on healing old wounds and traumas in order to become better versions of ourselves.
