Mars Enters Libra: Fight for Your Right

"I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous ... everyone hasn't met me yet."
- Rodney Dangerfield

The planet of war, Mars, entered Libra, the sign of peace and balance, on July 3. It's easy to understand why this pairing might be a detrimental match. After all, Mars likes to tangle -- in a very direct fashion, no less -- while Libra prefers to keep things nice and avoid any nasty confrontations. Mars makes things happen pronto; Libra takes its sweet time carefully weighing out every decision. And finally, just as Libra tends to be passive, Mars adores action!

This cosmic pairing is often associated with frustration, repressed anger and passive-aggressive maneuvers. Naturally, passive-aggression often leads to internalizing anger ... which in turn leads to imagining that everyone hates you!

It should come as little surprise, then, that for the next few weeks, a strong emphasis will likely fall on your relationships. You can certainly expect more flirting and fishing for compliments under this influence.
