Mars in Libra — Time to Create Balance & Harmony in Relations
On 3rd Oct Mars will enter Libra and will remain there till 16th Nov…
The energies are shifting from Earth element to Air element…
From the material, and physical aspects of life to our desire fulfillment…
Now, it’s more about, making new connections, improving our relations, and bringing balance to our life by being fair in our approach.
With Virgo Mars, our focus was on self, personal development, our work, earning better, fighting our battles, resolving conflicts, and perfecting our routine tasks…
So, whatever we learnt, or worked upon in a detailed manner, using our mind, intelligence, will now be shared & expressed through words…
Again, everything is related to self here as Mars has its aspect on Aires…its own sign…
The purpose of Mars in Libra is to find harmony between our needs, values, and desires versus those of others
Now with Libra Mars, we can have a deeper understanding of not just self but also our inter-personal relations.
It can be the best opportunity to correct ourselves honestly…. bring equality & justice in all our dealings… personal or professional.
Mars is in Libra after almost 2 years…. The last time Mars was in Libra, around Oct 2021…before the shift of the nodes…to Aries & Libra…
So, this is the 1st time Mars is strongly connected with Aries-Libra, Rahu Ketu & also the eclipses…
Mars is the dispositor of Jupiter, Rahu & Uranus. Rahu in Ashwini — Ketu’s nak where Ketu is in Mars’s Chitra Nak till March 2024.
In the past couple of years, with Rahu-Ketu in Aries-Libra, we all learned some significant lessons about the 1–7 axis… which goes around self & relations…
Specifically values of being in a relation vs. being independent…
Keep reminding yourself of those lessons, in the future… & don’t forget, Libra is an exalted sign of Saturn where Saturn is trine to Libra…
If handled well, this will go a long way in the most positive manner…to give you completeness within your relationship with self & others.
We have Jupiter’s aspect on Mars to provide wisdom & we can form a clear understanding where there is balance & harmony.
Secondly, Mars is the natural ascendant lord…the commander in chief of our solar system…
He is the warrior…governor of all our actions, our source of energy, who fights for our rights and protects us.
We have a Solar eclipse of 14th Oct in Chitra nak — Mars’s nak…
All these make this transit of Mars in Libra a significant one…We can use this time to reexamine all our relationships.
It provides us an opportunity to break from old patterns of reaction and choose new responses to optimize each other’s needs.
Libra is not a friendly sign for Mars
Libra is all about others in our life…It’s about balancing and sharing…
Whereas Mars believes in and protects self…
Libra is known for diplomacy and resolution skills….
When confronting any problem…with Libra in the picture, the solutions are usually fair and balanced… over any other considerations.
But Mars is a planet of War …
Mars always has a goal to achieve…or protect something or fight for the fundamental rights for himself or for the people he is responsible for…
Dignified Mars represents our raw energy, our will, strength, and pursue right actions…… always ready for any battle to protect his territories.
Mars is not in his natural stamina when in airy Libra as the fiery Mars wants to act instantly…
The airy Mars in Libra will stop to think…put his logic…which can slow down Mars’s energy…
But on the positive side, the right amount of thinking and analysis of Libra can also make Mars unbeatable.
Libra Mars will be harmonious, moderate in reacting, and good at compromising…if lord Venus is also placed well…
Libra is about others so when Mars is in Libra, he will stand up for others more than himself…
The motivation of this Libra Mars will be to become a problem solver and avoid fights.
Venus the lord of Libra is 11th to this Mars till 3rd Nov…& will be in sign exchange with Sun in Libra…. This is a powerful position…
But after 3rd Nov, Venus will be 12th to Mars till 16th Nov and will be debilitated also…
So be watchful of these last 15 days of transit which can bring some not-so-pleasant results….
Especially towards the end of its transit as Mars will be right opposite to Uranus, heading towards Scorpio — Its own & the natural 8th sign of the zodiac…
Mars will transit in Chitra, Swati & Vishakha nak in Libra…
Mars will be in its own nakshatra Chitra till 13th Oct & soon after its entry in Libra, Mars will join Ketu on 5th Oct.
This is a challenging conjunction and we need patience and calmness till at least 10th Oct.
Mars Ketu conj can trigger sudden anger, accidents, impulsive — insensitive action because of even small irritation or frustration…
It would be difficult to realize our own capacity to act, or to fight for our rights.
Any action-oriented tasks can be a risky business…So be alert and careful.
We have Jupiter’s aspect to balance energy but only if we are cautious as Mars + Ketu will be too much of fire…
Then Mars will be in Swati nakshatra till 2nd November…Rahu is opposite Mars and will also cross Aries gandanta on 30th Oct.
Within this time frame, we shall have Solar & Lunar eclipses also… Expect a dramatic shift in the situation.
See, too many strong movements are there when Mars is in Swati nak…
It’s best to use this energy constructively and for the betterment of self and others…
& Lastly, Mars will be in Vishakha Nak till 16th November.
Vishakha is known to bring diversion with new options, direction, and the course of action changes from here…
Jupiter the lord of Vishakha has an aspect on Mars …
In fact, throughout this transit…Mars is connected with its nakshatra lord by its aspect… & that guarantees concrete results….
Secondly, Mars is transiting parallel to the Sun & is combust throughout the transit
Here, Sun has the power to influence the action of Mars… The authorities will have the upper hand here.
Both are dominant in nature & Change is inevitable for Mars lordship signs — Aries & Scorpio, along with Libra…
Also, on signs, where Mars aspects & that is Capricorn, Aries & Taurus…
Mars has its 4th protective aspect on Capricorn & Pluto — — The exact aspect on Pluto will be 9th Oct @ 3.42°
There are strong chances of some start of transformation at some level.
Pluto is almost stationary and is about to go direct on 11th Oct. This can be eventful…
Jupiter’s aspect will make things lighter. It can help us to achieve balance and harmony in any difficult situation.……
But be watchful of conflicts & control issues at your workplace…
Then Mars will have its 7th aspect on its own sign Aries and the planets placed there — Rahu, Jupiter & Uranus.
Avoid misunderstanding or any ego issues in close relations.
The opposite aspect of Mars can activate a strong feeling of jealousy, arguments, or disagreements…
What will help is to remain grounded.
& Mars will have its 8th aspect on Taurus…
We may deal with fear of change, insecurities in finances, relations, some sudden event & anxiety of the unknown, or any health-related matter.
Expect some twist & turn where Taurus is placed in your chart…
Throughout this transit… Mars is trine to Saturn which can be helpful to reduce any aggressive behaviour…
Also, from 15th Oct we have Saturn in Dhanishta — Mars’s nakshatra…
Saturn is moving very slowly…almost stationary & will be direct on 4th Nov…
Movement can be paused…resulting in frustration or bust of emotions in anger.
There can be an ongoing inner struggle for freedom throughout this transit & the saving grace here is Jupiter’s aspect…
The way out from any chaos is to have clear communication… go for travel… be with nature & create security …
Avoid, unnecessary aggression, misuse of power, or threats… & handle everything with the force of will…
