Mars in Libra

Mars enters Libra this week on the 14th of September at 5:14 pm PDT, where he will stay until the 30th of October. Venus-ruled Libra, is charming, harmony-loving and fair-minded. To say, Mars has a hard time struggling to adapt to a terrain of heart emojis would be an understatement.

Whenever a planet finds themselves in the floating gardens of Libra, they are compelled by Venus to move closer toward an ideal that will bring in more beauty and/or equilibrium. Not such an easy task when you’re Mars and you’re used to dividing and conquering. In Libra, stripped of all physical weapons, Mars can only use his mental faculties to attain his goals.

Libra is interested in ethics and establishing relationships. When Mars is on his best behaviour in Libra, he fights hard to uphold codes of behaviour and maintain relationships, when he is not on his best behaviour, he goes from being refined and protective to manipulative and cruel.

Look to the house in which you find Libra in your birth chart for clues as to what area of your life Mars is going to attempt to harmonize.
