🌟 Mars in Libra 2025: Learning to Fight Fair, Love Boldly,and Choose Harmony Without Losing Ourselves 🌟
August 6th to September 22, 2025
Some of you listen to it and freak out, and all hell breaks loose. WTF is wrong with you lol 😅get up, confront the lesson and be grateful for it. Don't let it rule your life, be mindful of course, understand what's happening and continue pushing forward. Or choose to stay afraid of planets, (if that isn't he weirdest sentence I ever said in my life), think about it, at a logical base level, you are afraid of planets 😂. Instead, because you’re an adult and are more than capable of making it through some tough/awkward/difficult situations. You will figure out what it is that you're doing that’s essentially self-sabotaging behavior, and you will fix it. As I mentioned earlier, retrogrades are lessons that need to be learned, and that's all.
From August 6 to September 22, the lesson isn’t “be nice.” It’s “stop lying to yourself about what you’re okay with.” Fake peace is rot in disguise. Saying “it’s fine” when it isn’t fine doesn’t make you diplomatic, it makes you complicit in your own resentment. 🧐 This is Not to be confused with being cordial. Such as coparenting, workplace employees, having to interact or for some of you, its not even interactng. Being cordial and not having to say anything, yet still finding reasons to be upset. Stop allowing the mere presence of someone to dictate your emptional control level. You aren't faking it, you're making it worse. You handed over your power 🥴.
Coming into this transit, I was ready to murder someone 🔪, but instead, I went in and journaled. 📖 Because I'm an adult and I'm facing what it is that’s an issue. Also, prison just doesn’t fit my aesthetic, nor does it sound appealing at the moment, so we will wait. Now, if we are to be afraid of anything, it's the people around us and what they’re capable of doing. 😨

I deal with people day in and day out, and so many. And I’m serious, SO MANY GROWN ASS ADULTS lack emotional intelligence. They allow their emotions to dictate their decision-making skills. If that statement stung you, you just found another lesson that you need to work on. Stop being irrational, you’re allowed to be upset, irritable and frustrated, or all of the above. But get a hold of your grown self and stop acting like a child who didn't get their way.
I think that paragraph sums up the exact emotions of this transit. Harsh, to the point, not sugar coating. Mind you, this is coming from a Libra sun and rising and Aries Moon. I’m pretty sure I emit the exact energy of this transit in the flesh. It's literally my big 3. So again, it's people and their lack of emotional control that you should be mindful of, not afraid, but mindful.
‼️ALERT ‼️
Sidenote: if you are around any Libras, be careful, leave them alone, they’re not harmonious right now. Honestly, for the next 6 weeks, Libras are going to have a difficult time. Just be easy on them, you may want to stay clear if you are one of their enemies. I will say, with Libras ♎️ if they're upset with you already and they blow up, there's a VERY good reason behind it. Not everytime of course, but most of the time you set yourself up.😂
Mars in Libra DARES you to show up with both honesty and backbone. Fight for what matters without hiding behind charm. Don't hide behind other people and have them do your dirty work. Stand 10 toes on whatever you need to and if something needs to be addressed, do so. Let it be said and known to that person directly. You choose yourself when doing so, and that's what you need to do every single time. Choose harmony, but make sure you’re part of it; this isn't the time to hide.
🌹 The Medicine: Harmony That Includes You
Harmony isn’t about swallowing your truth to keep others comfortable. It’s about creating a balance that includes you. You can be kind and honest. You can set boundaries without turning cold. But you cannot keep people happy at the expense of your own well-being.
Look at your relationships—romantic, platonic, and professional. Who meets you in the middle? Who leaves you doing all the heavy lifting? This is the time to answer honestly and act accordingly. Relationships are co-creations. They need mutual effort, mutual respect, and space for both people to show up unedited.
🗞 Collective Energy Check-In
Expect the wider world to mirror these themes. Leaders may be called out, political figures challenged, and power structures questioned. Even if it doesn’t boil over publicly, there’s a current of enough is enough brewing under the surface.
This is Mars in Libra on a global scale: fighting for fairness, demanding equity, and refusing to sit quietly while decisions get made over our heads. Mars in Libra isn’t about submissive “peace” but about building systems that honor everyone, not just those in charge. Libra and its justice ⚖️
💔 The Shadow Side: Indecision, Passivity, and Pleasing to Keep the Peace
Mars in Libra’s growth curve comes with traps:
Saying yes when you mean no
Dragging out decisions because you’re scared of someone’s reaction
Passive-aggressive comments instead of direct truth
Avoiding a fight until it explodes
If you see these patterns in yourself, pause. Ask: What truth am I refusing to say out loud?
And here’s the thing about Mars in your natal chart—it’s not “where your anger lives.” It’s where you protect what matters most. People may call you “too intense” or accuse you of having an anger problem when really, you’ve just stopped tolerating nonsense. Mars shows your blueprint for defending your boundaries, passions, and peace, protecting what you love most.

🔮Mars in Libra Horoscopes (August 6 – September 22, 2025)
Read for your Sun and Rising sign. Mars highlights a new kind of action, clarity, and growth. Where are you being asked to speak up, show up, or stop holding back?
♈ Aries: Mars is lighting up your relationship zone, and guess what? You’re not here to babysit adults. Stop agreeing just to “keep it cute.” If someone can’t handle your truth, they’re not your person. This isn’t about picking fights—it’s about refusing to shrink to make someone else comfortable.
♉ Taurus: Mars is firing up your work and wellness sector, and it’s time to admit how much of your routine exists just to keep other people happy. Stop running yourself ragged. Boundaries at work aren’t selfish—they’re survival. Streamline, delegate, and cut out the emotional freeloaders.
♊ Gemini: Your creativity and love life are under the spotlight, but charm alone won’t cut it. Flirt, yes. Play, yes. But don’t hide your real feelings behind a joke or meme. If you want more, say it. And if they can’t rise to meet you, let them fall away.
♋ Cancer: Your home life and emotional roots are up for inspection. That “everything’s fine” smile you’ve been flashing? People can see through it. If the house feels tense, speak up before it boils over. This is the time to build a home (and relationships) where you actually feel safe.
♌ Leo: Mars is charging your communication zone. Translation: you need to say the thing you’ve been avoiding. Loudness isn’t the goal—clarity is. You’re not here to win arguments; you’re here to own your truth. If that rattles a few egos, so be it.
♍ Virgo: Your money, values, and self-worth are in the hot seat. If you’ve been undercharging, overgiving, or settling, that stops now. Mars is here to help you demand fair pay, fair treatment, and a life that reflects your worth. No apologies. Now that Mars has moved away from you Virgos things will be much easier within the next few weeks.
♎ Libra: This is your Mars return—your cosmic wake-up call. If you’ve been avoiding hard choices, you won’t be able to much longer. Mars is shoving you into action. Don’t waste it trying to please everyone. This is about what you want, not what looks “balanced” on paper.
♏ Scorpio: Mars is stirring your subconscious and dragging hidden resentments into the light. Don’t run from them. What’s surfacing now is exactly what’s been draining you. Use this time to cut ties with anything that feeds off your energy. Solitude is your weapon, not your punishment.
♐ Sagittarius: Your friendships and alliances are getting a reality check. If you’re surrounded by people who only show up when it’s convenient, it’s time to thin the herd. Protect your vision and only collaborate with those who actually pull their weight.
♑ Capricorn: Mars is in your career zone, and you’re being asked to lead without selling your soul. You don’t need to people-please your way to the top. Make decisions that feel right, not just ones that keep the peace. The right people will respect you more for it.
♒ Aquarius: Your beliefs and long-term goals are up for review. Stop bending your truth to avoid conflict. Travel, study, or share your message if it calls to you—but make sure it’s your message, not a watered-down version to keep others happy.
♓ Pisces: Mars is turning up the intensity in intimacy and shared resources. This is about power, trust, and deciding who’s worth your vulnerability. If something feels one-sided, cut the cord. Your energy is too precious to be spent keeping leaky connections alive.

🔥 Mars in Libra Ritual: Cutting the Strings
Purpose: To break free from people-pleasing, indecision, and fake peace—and to set the stage for relationships, work, and personal choices that honour both harmony and truth.
When to Do It: Any time between August 6 and September 22, 2025, ideally on a Tuesday (Mars’ day) or during the waxing moon to amplify decisive action.
What You’ll Need:
Black candle – for banishing indecision and fear of conflict
Blue candle – for clear, direct communication
Black Tourmaline – to ground and protect your energy
Lapis Lazuli – to sharpen truth-telling
Small mirror – to reflect your own truth back to you
Paper and pen – for naming what you’re done tolerating
Bowl of water – to symbolise balanced emotions
Matches or a lighter
Steps:
Set the Space: Dim the lights. Place the black candle on your left (banishing), the blue candle on your right (truth), and the mirror in front of you. Put Black Tourmaline and Lapis Lazuli between the candles.
Ground & Focus: Hold the Black Tourmaline in your left hand and take 7 deep breaths. With each exhale, imagine dumping other people’s expectations out of your body.
Name the Poison: On paper, write down every situation, relationship, or habit where you’ve been keeping fake peace. Be brutally honest this list is for your eyes only.
Burn the Lies: Light the black candle. Hold your list over the flame (safely) and let it burn in a fireproof dish. As it burns, say:
Repeat 3x
"I release the lie that peace means silence. I choose a balance that honours me."
Call in Truth: Light the blue candle. Hold the Lapis Lazuli to your throat and speak out loud at least one truth you’ve been avoiding. Look into the mirror as you say it, so the first person who hears it is you.
Seal the Balance: Dip your fingers in the bowl of water and touch your forehead, heart, and throat, signifying that your mind, heart, and voice are now aligned.
Close the Ritual: Thank Mars for courage and Libra for clarity. Let the candles burn safely until they naturally go out, or snuff them without blowing. Keep the crystals with you over the next few weeks as daily reminders to act from both strength and fairness.

🌟 Final Thought: Embrace the Power of Honest Harmony 🌟
As Mars moves through Libra, the universe is asking us to rethink the way we navigate conflict and balance. It's not about avoiding the tension, but about confronting it with clarity, courage, and authenticity. Remember, true peace isn’t born from silence—it’s found when we stand up for ourselves and create balance that includes everyone’s truth, including our own.
As we step into this energy, let’s be mindful of where we’ve been ignoring our needs for the sake of keeping things "smooth" or "nice." It’s time to speak up, set boundaries, and stop hiding behind false peace. Whether on a personal or collective level, the change starts within us. You can fight for fairness and still protect your peace—just make sure it’s your real peace, not a compromise that leaves you empty.
Let this transit guide you towards the courage to build a harmonious life that honours both your needs and those of others, but without losing yourself in the process.
