Mars Transits in Sidereal Libra from Oct 21 – Dec 4, 2021

Mars Enters Libra on October 21. It’s the planet of Force and Aggression in the sign of Balance & Harmony… not exactly a good fit. The Mars need for Victory doesn’t go well with Libra’s desire to Find Compromise. On the other hand, Libra’s Social Idealism gets a boost from Mars’ push for Results.

Mars Combines with Mercury in November. Having finished its retrograde period, Mercury pursues Mars in Libra, and catches up to Mars on November 10th. Mercury doesn’t do so well with the planet of Aggression; the two are ‘enemies’ in Vedic Astrology. Mars causes Distortion to Mercury’s normally Reasonable approach to dealing with Communication & Information. Mars + Mercury results in Fast Thinking, Aggressive Speech, Rash Decisions, Weaponized Data.

Mars forms a Square Aspect to Saturn during the 2nd week of November. These two planets are ‘Enemies’ in Vedic Astrology. Mars’ Aggression and Haste will Challenge Saturn, the planet of The Established Order. Mercury joins in on the Mars side, indicating a Decision that the Establishment finds Threatening.

Mars comes into Opposition with Uranus in mid-November. The planet of Action & Aggression will be exchanging energy with the planet of Independence, Rebellion, & Sudden Unexpected Events. This energy pattern is prone to cause Disruption, even Violence.

Mars Leaves Libra and Enters Scorpio on Dec 4. The planet of Action and Aggression will be in its own sign for December and the first half of January. Mars will add power to Scorpio, the sign of Transformation, Secrets, Psychology, and Alliances.
