ALMUTEMMars in Libra
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Libra, it expresses itself seeking balance and common ground with others.
Mars is in its detriment in Libra — a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus —, acting against its nature: the planet’s fire struggles to express itself in a sign of balance and justice, and the tension falls above all on relationships and partnerships. It tends to draw unequal commitments, betrayals, and situations in which it feels without power to decide, reacting then with passivity or with provocation. The planet’s direct assertiveness is held hostage to the need to please and to keep the peace. The great work is to analyse well what it commits to and to grasp the causes and effects of its own bonds, gaining courage and good sense with each experience. Tamed, it is a Mars that learns to fight for justice and to assert itself without breaking the harmony.
