Time to find out with astrologer Natasha Webber.
People pleases beware this weekend, the Action Planet might make you say how you really feel. On Sunday direct, in bold and sometimes reckless, Mars enters diplomatic libra. It's not a natural fit by any means. In fact, it could make you go to extra lengths to not rock the boat. You might bite your tongue at dinner with your sister's a loud mouth boyfriend when you just want to tell her she's too good for him, Or maybe you set
aside your own needs to appease someone else. But while it may feel easier to keep quiet in the moment, in the long run, it's likely to lead to resentment when Mars makes its next move into Scorpio, the sign of revenge. The tension stems from the Red planet's tendency to act before thinking, which is sometimes exactly what you do need but Mars is in detriment in Libra, meaning that its gung ho energy is too abrasive for peacekeeping Libra,
who needs harmony to do its best work. The sign of balance is happiest when everyone is meshing beautifully, and if they're not, that's when it steps in to restore the peace. So while dodging an uncomfortable situation or discussion may seem like a win at the time, it's actually Mars in Libra's shadow side that's playing out. To manage this well, you need to fight your people pleaser instincts
and voice exactly how your feeling respectfully. Of course, suppressing your authentic feelings, especially when it comes to matters of the heart, is a big no no as well. Libra is the sign of balanced, healthy romantic relationships, so by not speaking out or voicing your concern, you can create more problems down the track. There is a positive side to Mars in Libra, though, if you know how to use it. You might find the courage to apologize when you know you're in the wrong, or you might assert
yourself when you know you're right. Don't say sorry as the default response this weekend, It's okay to defend yourself, and if you do have to make any big decisions, do it with a solid understanding of both sides of the story. Mars can be hot headed and quick to react. You don't want that. Instead, adopt air Sign Libra's cool, calm and collectedness and think before speaking, armed with the facts of both sides of the argument.
