Mars in Libra ♂ 2023

Aug 27 – Oct 11, 2023

Artist: Moki Mioke

With Mars in Virgo since early July, brain and body have been massively stimulated. Life appears to be moving even more quickly. Mars in Virgo gives us direction and ambition. This is not a time to sit back and watch the world go by. There is a cosmic urge here to do something. Earthy Virgo craves meaning and purpose. Virgo loves to move and work the body. She goads and perfects, molds and shapes. We’ve been more focused than usual, alert, excited, nose to the air.

It’s been insanely busy but that’s about to change a little bit. With Mars in Libra we lovingly turn our attention toward interpersonal relationships, communication, and community. Libra is the zodiac’s resident counselor, mediator, and oracle. Mars in Libra asks us to be diplomatic, gracious, thoughtful, respectful. This transit heralds an influx of love, peace, balance, and harmony.

It’s not all roses: intimate relationships will be severely tested. Success with friends and lovers will not come easily. It is important to reflect before acting and practice the art of careful consideration.

Are you in a relationship? Did you recently move to a new place? Do you live in a community? And how’s that going? It’s time to practice conscious communication and community-building with renewed vigor.

Libra is a great place for Mars to be. This transit ultimately brings so much balance to our relationships and our own personal energy. For those who are already fiery or aggressive, this transit brings more peace and balance to your communication. For those who are timid or passive, it will help you to be more assertive and direct.

Mars will not visit Libra again for another two years so take advantage of this potent time to (re)connect with friends and loved ones.

love ~ community ~ femininity ~ harmony ~ diplomacy ~ communication

Aug 27: 1st day of Mars in Libra + Sun in Virgo opposite Saturn Retrograde in Pisces. Things won’t go exactly as planned and that’s ok. This opposition is hard on the body. Heavy vibes.

Aug 28: 1st day of Uranus Retrograde in Taurus 🐮

Aug 30: Super Blue Full Moon in Pisces 🐠

Sep 3: Venus Retrograde in Leo ends 

Sep 4: 1st day of Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus 🐮

Oct 8: 1st day of Venus in Virgo + Mars square Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn (Pluto Rx ends 2 days later on Oct 10, the day before Mars enters Scorpio). This influence is very intense. Pluto is forceful and emotional in nature. Major internal struggles are up for review. Headaches, anxiety, stress, & exhaustion common.
