Mars enters airy Libra today. When an action planet moves into a hedonistic sign, it usually indicates a time of simplicity and quietness, with no confrontations or emotional assertions taking place.

However, this time around the major theme is Mars squaring Pluto, which occurs on October 22. There is tremendous power and energy bringing up intense feelings in the weeks leading up to that transit. This can make us all want to take action concerning relationships, in both good and bad ways. Deciphering which associations are healthy and which aren’t will be a theme in the month ahead. Learning how to let go of those that aren’t serving our best or highest interests will be pivotal now.

This transit can bring up emotional challenges, power struggles, and love triangles. Control is definitely an important aspect to note. Not having authority over others can tilt us all off center and cause conflict within ourselves. During this time, we can expect added intensity and meltdowns. Feverish emotions and passions will be heightened over these weeks. We can also make discoveries and uncover truths that we didn’t see coming or even know existed. Mars in Libra is here, and it will be a bumpy and wild ride. Fasten your seat belts! Here we go!

The Moon squares Mars early this morning, just before both change signs The sign changes may feel something like a fresh start. However, the unfamiliar territory may also feel very uncomfortable. The Capricorn Moon closes down emotions in favor of practicality. The entrance of Mars into Libra may have us looking for ways to stir things up but we may become impatient when people don’t respond quick enough. Neither the Moon or Mars are very comfortable in these new surroundings, but the Moon’s sextile to Venus around noon keeps things mostly civil. As well, the Sun’s opposition to Neptune discourages any inclination to upset others — and keeps most discomfort and frustration under cover. Despite today’s challenges, the fresh start that we are offered here allows us to lay the groundwork for productive progress ahead of next Monday’s Pisces Full Moon (4:54 PM 28° Pisces/Virgo).
