Mars Enters Libra July 13: Just as Rahu is slithering into Virgo, Mars prepares to move forward into Libra, giving a Mars-Rahu conjunction right at the border of Virgo and Libra during July 12-13. They are in effect changing places as they move through the threshold between these two signs. Rahu conjuncting with any planet tends to amplify the effects that planet may give. This couple of days period may bring about events that are unexpected, powerful and transformative. Once Mars moves out of Virgo and into Libra, we have an interesting situation for the remainder of Mars transit there, as Mars joins Saturn. They exactly conjoin August 25, 2014, after which Mars moves ahead of Saturn and then moves to Scorpio on September 4. Libra is Venus air sign, and Venus and Mars are not naturally friendly, therefore Mars in Libra is not his most favorable position. Added to that, Saturn and Mars can act somewhat at odds, with Mars exhibiting the strong, youthful, powerful show of energy and Saturn embodying restraint, limitation and obstruction. This can be frustrating for both Mars and Saturn. As some regular readers may remember, I call Mars and Saturn together the driving with the brakes on yoga. This sense of wanting to impatiently blaze ahead while simultaneously being afraid to move may creep in as we move into late July and through August. The lunar mansion that spans Virgo and Libra is called Chitra, which means bright, as a beautiful gem may be. There is the implication of creating beautiful forms with Chitra and it is ruled by Mars itself. So while Mars is uncomfortable in the sign of Venus, he will still be within a lunar mansion that he rules. There is potential to use the fire and energy of Mars during this time to create new forms, carve new channels and put forth energy toward building something new. With the presence of Rahu also in Chitra and Saturn in Libra, the advice is to move carefully and with deliberation in order to keep the balance as we transition from one paradigm to the next.
