\"Mars<\/a><\/dt>\n
Illustration by Daniel Marsula<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

For the next week or so we will be living with Mars and Saturn conjunct in Libra. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Libra is normally a lovely sign – it is concerned with fairness, equality, peace and harmony, beauty and an aesthetically pleasing environment.  But when Mars gets into Libra it likes to stir things up.  Mars is said to be in its detriment in Libra, and in Libra it tends to go underground.  Rather than be directly obnoxious, as Mars prefers to be, Mars in Libra covers its irritation and anger with a veneer of Libran polish so that it’s hard to really see the truth that lies beneath.<\/p>\n

Here we have Saturn overseeing this process, making sure that we must face the cold hard reality of the truth, even though Mars in Libra is doing its best to obscure those facts.  Mars and Saturn working together are described as driving with the brakes on.  Mars wants to create action, and Saturn creates its famous delays.  Both are in Libra where action is difficult because all options are equally attractive.<\/p>\n

However, Jupiter and Uranus are opposing Mars and Saturn and stirring the pot.  We want to act – we are almost desperate for some kind of change to take place (Jupiter\/Uranus opposing Mars).  But Saturn is the enforcer right now.  If you are sending delays and blockages, sit back and wait until the time is right.  Make a solid plan (Saturn LOVES a good plan).  But stay creative – there’s lots of energy for change right now and it can happen in powerful ways!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
