Mars enters Libra 2025: Love is war for these 3 zodiac signs
Mars, the planet of war and will, desire and drive, f-king and fighting, getting it on and getting it done, is leaving the sickled fields of Virgo for the codependent climes of Libra on August 6, 2025 — a shift from pruning to preening, if you will. Our bro luminary of high speeds and high fives will remain in Libra until September 22, 2025. Mars is in its detriment in the sign of Libra, meaning the planet cannot express itself in ways that feel natural or effective. There's an inherent contradiction to this transit as the planet of instinct and individuation is tasked with operating through the sign of consideration and partnership. 5 Mars is in its detriment in the sign of Libra, meaning the planet cannot express itself in ways that feel natural or effective. egor – As the zodiac's resident diplomat, the M.O. of Mars in Libra is to keep the peace to the point of stagnation. This energy translates to weighing options and considering perspectives to a degree that can delay and debilitate. Here, Mars is in the cuck chair, bound to accommodation over action, refining desire and decision making through the lens of relationships, and in trying to please all parties, fails to satisfy any. The underbelly of Mars in the sign of the scales is conflict avoidance, suppressed anger, or needs that manifest as passive-aggressive behavior, over-reliance on the approval of others, and impeded action. Meaning of Mars in Libra 2025 At its highest expression, Mars in Libra can help us tactfully and equitably resolve relationship issues and advocate for others. Our mediation skills are at an all-time high, and our ability to successfully collaborate is amplified. There are times when the apparent indecisiveness of Mars in Libra belies a long-term strategy that supports win-win solutions versus zero-sum outcomes. There are also times when this indecisiveness is, in fact, a lack of valor. Are you building consensus or defense? The difference between a diplomat and a coward is valuing the good of the whole over the opinion of the populace. 5 Jaclyn – Your ruling planet paving the war path in your opposite sign is a real gut check, Aries. Yet, as ever, there is a lesson to be gleaned in this grit. Mars in Libra is teaching you the art of strategy and what it truly means to 'win,' IE, there is no loser. In both business and personal relationships, you stand to gain more from collaboration than confrontation. Lead with curiosity when you feel activated; listen, breathe, and dig for the common ground that lies beneath every opposition. 5 Jaclyn – Mars in Libra hits your fourth house of homefires, Cancer, offering you a chance to rebalance your inner world. You can be conflict-averse, opting to ignore your needs to preserve your nest, but this transit shows you how diplomacy can deepen your bonds. Home is an act of creation, and you create the feeling of emotional safety for others when you communicate your own needs clearly and without shame. Your courage becomes someone else's empowerment. Stop overdelivering, and you may be delighted to see how much and how many rise to the occasion of reciprocity. 5 Jaclyn – Mars in your sign has you trading diplomacy for action, tact for unbidden truth, Libra. Where and when do you allow peacekeeping to stand in the way of progress? Are you ignoring your gut instincts in favor of someone else's agenda? This transit is here to show you that conflict can give rise to closeness, and speaking up is the only way to ensure everyone is heard. This energy makes you not only assertive but attractive. Don't wait to make the first move or to initiate a necessary conversation. 5 Jaclyn – Mars in Libra creates necessary challenges for you, Capricorn, illustrating how teamwork can best a self-serving solo mission. Due in part to serious trust issues and a hard-on for doing things the hard way, you're inclined to refuse help and maintain a DIY ethos. But in doing so, you forgo the chance to lean into your natural leadership abilities. In the coming weeks, you're invited to reframe what success can look like and place unprecedented importance on connections, viewing others not as obstacles to overcome but as footholds for mutual ascent. Believe me when I tell you, making it to the top is richer when you have someone to share the view with.

Every star sign's horoscope now that Mercury Retrograde is over: What Mercury going direct means for you
As of 11th August 2025, Mercury Retrograde is over, people! So, moving forward, this means our mental clarity returns to full beam, productivity resumes normal service, tech stops playing up, communications are flowing, and we can hear ourselves think clearly once more. No more crossed wires. Normal service is resumed in the Universe, thank you! In summary, although every retrograde has a mini 'shadow phase' when the after-effects may still rumble on or play out, you are now getting powerful GREEN LIGHT energy from the cosmos. It's time to put things in motion, activate your ideas, go full throttle on what you have been planning or dreaming about. Make this week ahead a positive and pro-active time to manifest what you've hesitated doing so far. Here's the ONE THING that your sign must do this post-retrograde week. Be bold, be brave, be totally convinced of your success. This is a potent window of time to make wishes come true, don't waste it, get to it! You've been thinking about raising a tricky, sensitive, possibly combative point or question with someone, but have put it off. Aries, NOW is the time. You will land your points well, be fully understood, and receive the clarity or answer you need to hear. Sure, there might be a bit of back and forth and some tension, but it will fade as you seek to understand and the air is cleared. Whether this is at work, in the home, or a social circle… it's time to speak, communicate, express yourself, and get the answers you need. Mercury retrogrades are not great for travel, movement, journeys, or vehicle dealings, but now it's done with, you're free to make that big move you've been planning. It's the right window of time to activate this and all will go smoothly. Whether this is a much-needed break, an outing someplace new, a new vehicle or mode of transport, or a major location or home move… Go ahead and get going. What starts now might take a further six months to fully play out, but you're planting the activation at the right time. What starts well ends well. When there's conflict, you tend to withdraw and protect your peace. Ghosting is a very Gemini means of handling idiots and haters, and it works. However, there is someone you've been avoiding and it pains you because it's a relationship you enjoyed or maybe feel you can't cut off for some reason (family, maybe). Use this twist of the retrograde's energy to reach out and make positive contact with this person. Do what feels authentic, nothing overboard, keep it casual, give them a channel to respond and see what they do. If they're cool, be cool. If they're not, well, then you know the ghosting is probably here to stay and you can stop wondering (obsessing) about it. Pressure test this separation. You are very clear about what you want to manifest in this green light era, and you are going to summon every ounce of your formidable talent and strength to do so! This is a power move week for you, Cancer, and I want you to own your space, hold your head high, push forwards, and don't take 'no' for an answer. Negotiate, persuade, challenge, demand, make it a bit uncomfortable simply with your resolute presence. You can move mountains when you bring your full self to the table. You are unstoppable, courageous, convincing, and inspiring. This is your best self making your best life happen! You have been yearning for a more even keel recently. Everything kinda went haywire during the retrograde and you just want to feel grounded and secure again, knowing what's going on and feeling on control of everything. Wish granted! Temperance brings you the harmony, certainty, and stability you need to create a firm and strong foundation on which to build new castles in the sky. Ground yourself, feel powerful, and then reach for the next big thing. Make sure it's something that helps you feel healthy, wholesome, happy, and safe. No risky business, right now, Leo! Focus on something that serves your best self. So, now that pesky retrograde is out of your hair, you can get back down to business and really push ahead with what you want to do. Full throttle, Virgo. The Eight of Coins asks you to work harder than you ever have (in a short burst, focus your full energy on your key goal this week). And the reward for this exertion is a major, surprising, and very welcome breakthrough. You won't see it coming. Maybe it's coming from someone who can help make your goals land and who has been watching and admiring your efforts. The harder you work, the higher you rise. Everything will go in your favour. Mercury is a planet of change and now it's flowing direct again, you can embrace the changes you've been wanting to activate in 2025. Death is about transformation, usually begun by letting something end or die away. You already know what this is. Whether this is a makeover, glow up, overhaul, move, progression, or total top-to-bottom transformation, it all starts here, with the extra spark of ignition from Mercury going direct. Make your first step, trust in yourself, and let the Universe bring you the next options to choose from. This is going to all unfold in a magical, serendipitous way. Enjoy the ride, you won't forget it. Travel. Movement. Freedom. Feeling able to spread your wings and soar. These are the things this post-retrograde phase will give you full permission and encouragement to pursue. The Queen of Wands is a purposeful, ambitious, dynamic character and she's granting her powers to you! So, use them to grow, expand, develop. Leave behind a stale position, a comfort zone, an old self belief, a limiting role or relationship. Untie yourself to things that have held you back, be they practical, mental, emotional or circumstantial. Freedom is the wonderful feeling of having options and being in control of deciding which one's for you. Don't worry about not knowing what to do… this Queen will make sure you know just what's right. It's time to make good choices, fully, freely, and confidently. Use this post-retrograde spark to make in-roads on a task you've really put off and avoided. There's an aspect of dread here, you think this is all going to be hard and icky and draining… but you know it needs doing. The Nine of Wands promises that, started now, this task will actually be a doddle. You are being reassured that you can handle this beautifully. Getting it out of the way will be such cause for celebration too because you know, deep down, you've dragged it out for too long. Deadlines often galvanise you, but even that hasn't worked, and this task has long out-stayed its welcome on your to-do list. Get it done. Feel fantastic. Celebrate. Somehow this recent retrograde has gotten you down a bit. Nothing heavy or onerous, maybe more a feeling of boredom or 'meh'. Same old, same old. The routine has felt flat, nothing has much sparked your interest or enthusiasm. This is all about the change. Mercury is a powerful mental stimulant and when it turns direct it amplifies the levels of curiosity and fascination, which is just what you need! Let yourself notice things in your realm you've long overlooked, ignored, or taken for granted. See your life with fresh eyes. Notice local events and happenings you could check out, reunite with old friends, take up a hobby you left behind. Rekindle the flame. Mental clarity and self awareness are wonderful gifts from Mercury and you will find a boost of them both this week ahead. This insight will lead you to recognising a way in which you self sabotage or play your own worst enemy. This could be related to health, relationships, mental wellbeing, work, finances, anything really… the key is that it has gone on for a long time (probably unconsciously) and you've repeatedly followed this path of least resistance, even though you know the outcome is not good for you. It all stops here. Awareness is the first step. Distraction, substitution, and focus are the next and all help you change the pattern and reboot this bad habit. Mercury is the zodiac's teacher / student planet, always eager to learn and take in new information, and the Page of Coins amplifies this energy for you. It's time to seek education. This could take the form of informal reading or learning at home, maybe a workshop or lecture, possibly a class or formal course. The content might be career-focused, artistic, personal development, spiritual, or just something that sparks your interest. Think about what you wish you could do, deliver, know, or understand. Research your options to be able to do that. Pick one and get going. You will NOT regret this… it's all leading you somewhere new.
