Thank you, .myles
From August 6 through September 22nd, Mars moving through Venus-ruled Libra alters the energy around how you take action towards what you feel passionate about and how you connect with the people in your life.
Mars drives you to act fast, speak your mind boldly, and chase your goals without hesitation. Libra, however, pulls you toward fairness, balance, and careful consideration of how your actions affect others.
During this period, the urge to jump into tough conversations or make quick decisions may feel strong, but there is also a clear sense that moving too fast could harm trust or upset the delicate balance you have worked hard to build.
Emotionally, this transit pulls you in two opposing directions, creating a constant push and pull between charging ahead and stepping back to maintain peace. The drive to stand up for yourself clashes with the desire to keep things calm and harmonious. This ongoing tension teaches an important skill: balancing speaking your truth with empathy.
When difficult conversations have been avoided or agendas advanced without input from others, this energy will bring those patterns to the surface. Mars in Libra encourages clear and honest communication by expressing your thoughts openly while genuinely listening to others. Finding the right balance between standing your ground and staying open to feedback will help maintain healthy relationships and prevent tension or breakdown.
During this time, old arguments, unresolved tensions, or hidden feelings may resurface, especially because of Mercury’s retrograde. You could notice misunderstandings or heated discussions around key topics such as expectations, commitments, or communication styles. As Mercury retrograde ends on August 11th, Mars moving through Libra offers a valuable opportunity to confront these challenges directly and work toward problem solving and resolutions.
Instead of avoiding difficult conversations or shutting down, this period encourages open and honest dialogue where everyone feels safe to share their true feelings and concerns. If you or someone else has been holding back desires or frustrations, now is the time to bring those feelings into the light and address them openly.
Mars in Libra is a time to take a close look at how you communicate. Are you giving the same respect and attention you want to receive? Have you been holding back your feelings to avoid conflict? Are you listening as much as you speak? How often do you check in with others to understand what they need? Are your relationships balanced and give-and-take? Do you feel truly seen and valued in these connections?
In the coming weeks, situations will arise where deciding whether to express your thoughts, hold back, or adjust how you communicate your feelings becomes important. Old conflicts or misunderstandings about commitments, boundaries, or unmet expectations may resurface, presenting an opportunity to handle these delicate conversations with calm honesty and compassion rather than reacting impulsively. Libra’s energy encourages balance through mindful dialogue and helps rebuild trust with attention to both your emotions and those of others.
By channeling Mars’s fiery energy through Libra’s focus on harmony, this period helps repair communication breakdowns and clear up misunderstandings, especially around important relationships like close friends, family, or partners. It encourages you or others to find the courage to speak openly about feelings that may have been hidden, and conversations that were once avoided or filled with tension can shift toward honest, respectful exchanges.
This balance between directness and consideration can turn fragile or strained connections into stronger, more trusting relationships based on mutual respect and clear understanding.
Thank you, Alex Myles
