HWhat Mars In Libra Means For You

elationships are in the spotlight
from October 3 to November 19
while Mars is in Libra. As Mars
moves through the zodiac, it activates
the area of your life associated with each
sign. You are more impulsive and more
willing to fight for what you want in the
affected life sector. This particular Mars
transit can be difficult for relationships
of all kinds, as it is me-oriented. To
minimize the possibility of conflicts, be
sensitive to the needs and feelings of the
people around you.
While the Sun is in Libra between
September 23 and October 23, you can
work on strengthening your valued
alliances. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio
are both in an awkward alignment to
Uranus in Taurus for part of this month,
which warns of possible upsets or
problems. Love, loans, money, insurance,
property, real estate, surgery, or security
issues may be involved. If any surprising
developments occur, stay calm; don’t
do anything rash. Sometimes the best
response is to simply do nothing.
The Full Moon in Aries on October
13 may mark the end of a personal
project. If you feel edgy a day or two
before or after that date, try using gentle
stretches, or slow, deep breathing to
alleviate tension. Under any Aries Full
Moon, you should buckle your seat
belt, drive carefully, and use safety
equipment, when appropriate.Things can become intense as days
pass and several planets move into
passionate Scorpio. Mercury enters
Scorpio on October 3; Venus enters that
same sign on the 8th, followed by the
Sun on the 23rd. With all this Scorpio
influence, you may have strong feelings
about the area of your life associated
with that sign. New Moon in Scorpio
on October 27 is an excellent time to do
plumbing jobs or investigations.

movements may mean for you, read the

Your ruling planet, Mars, enters
Libra, your sector of relationships on
October 3, and stays there until mid-
November. During this time, you may
have needs or desires that are at odds
with those of your friends, loved ones, or
associates. Conflicts can arise if you or
the other people are stubborn. The best
solution may be a compromise.
With Uranus and Neptune retrograde
all month, you have to be patient; Pluto
is retrograde until October 3. If this
slows your progress or causes delays,
don’t worry. Things may start to move
forward in late November, after Neptune
resumes direct motion.
