THE SOCIAL MOVER AND SHAKER !!!


Mars began its passionate, fiery transit through the artistic, sociable sign of Libra today, December 7th, at 3:41 PM EST ... Libra is ruled by Venus the planet of love, money and relationships !!! ... Mars in Libra is strategic, charming, generous, amiable, cooperative, persuasive, enjoys entertaining, sociable and very interested in new ideas ...  self-reliance is sometimes lacking here and one must learn to stand on their own ... here we have energy that is naturally people oriented and often learns through relating with others ... it can be highly competitive ... it is energy which makes one work on balancing opposites and therefore indecision can arise if you go overboard with the need to weigh and balance everything ... identity is tied in with interactions to others ... physical and sexual drive are strongly influenced by ones partner ... Mars in Libra can also propel one into a conflict of argument with someone else - and at times people are forced to agree with you just to end the discussion and shut you up !!! ... it can be sweet and smile a lot, but ultimately kill you with kindness ...

Mars is said to be in "detriment" in the sign of Libra as this is the sign directly opposite the one it rules which is Aries ... Mars is therefore like a guest in someone elses "house" and must conform to their rules !!! ... Normally air (Libra) gives life to fire (Mars), but for all of its energy here, Mars can get out of control rather quickly ... Mars sometimes has trouble operating in the sign of Libra because of its need for direct action is limited by the need for approval and cooperation of others ... Mars here is the initiator of social activities and wants to be noticed and appreciated ... sometimes personal desires and ambitions can be confused with others ... aggressive and energetic partners are sought here ... this energy can produce great anger when principles of justice are violated even if the person is not the actual victim ...

The lesson of Mars in Libra is learning to get through how we relate ... its the social mover and shaker ... the drive to balance impulses ... a major challenge here is to get what you want but do so by fitting in with social values and emotional requirements ... one must learn to adjust needs and values to their desires ... desires here tend to spring from a feeling of wanting everyone to be in harmony and pull together ... ultimately the energy of Mars in Libra is the ability to be aware of and have the courage to express and live by your own moral convictions ... Mars in Libra is the transformer ... it likes togetherness, doing things in style, the social whirl, knowing ones own desires, and equal partnerships ... it dislikes injustice, being overly blunt, indecisiveness, being dominant or being dominated ... the energy of Mars in Libra can be expressed in the following ways:

POSITIVE: attentive lover, enthusiastic, skillful lover, gentle, fair, easygoing, diplomatic, co-operative, persuasive, binding, discreet, perceptive, idealistic, intuitive, principled, measured, polite, considerate, agreeable, sedate

NEGATIVE: fawning, idolizing, impersonal, tentative, bland, indecisive, insincere, misleading, devious, awkward, judgmental, unreal, unfeeling, self-limiting, inhibited, vulgar, selfish, impulsive

Libra born individuals, this is the time when your energy is given that extra big boost ... and what a huge boost you may get as the normal 6 week transit of Mars through a sign will be extended this time to 33 - yes you read correctly - 33 weeks due to its upcoming retrograde period beginning on March 1st, 2014 and lasting until May 19th ... and whether you use it productively or not will be up to you as well as whatever else is going on around your natal chart and in your life ... in fact, that will be the case for all of us ... we all may be absolutely thoroughly energized and/or worn out and exhausted when Mars finally leaves Libra !!!  

Mars was last in Libra from July 3rd, 2012 through August 23rd, 2012 ... what was going on in your life regarding money - how you earn and spend it, assessing personal values, and dealing with partnerships and relationships both public and private back then ??? ... something may come up for review from that period as this transit of Mars through Libra will include a retrograde period - completely in the sign of Libra - of a little over 11 weeks ... and even though you may get something positive beginning now, don't forget Venus, the ruling planet of Libra, begins its next retrograde journey two weeks from today on December 21st that will last until January 31st - gotta love that cosmic sense of humor now don't you ??? ... and speaking of retrogrades and "reviewing", now would be an excellent time to go back and read, especially if you haven't already, my blog from September 30th concerning the personal planet retrograde flip flop sequence which was set in motion back on October 1st and lasts until July 21st of next year ... after all, Mars is one of the major players !!!

Mars remains in the sign of Libra until July 25th, 2014 - a very long time to think about and rethink our financial situation, personal values, and partnerships and relationships both public and private !!!
