Not so much. Peace, harmony, balance and beauty motivate the sign of the scales much more than fighting, challenge and conflict. So what happens when you combine these two opposing energies?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Say hello to the \u201cpeaceful warrior\u201d<\/strong>&mdash;a Mars in Libra archetype we can all strive to emulate. During this time it\u2019s possible to learn what it means to be assertive with grace and diplomacy rather than brute force.  Relationships can thrive as we spend more time focusing on our partner&#8217;s needs and desires than our own.<\/p>\n<p>More energy and desire (Mars) for romance and sensitivity (Libra) are also likely during this time, as we seek the \u201cKnights in Shining Armor\u201d who lurk among us. Good manners, etiquette and a desire to be civilized are further hallmarks of Mars\u2019 transit through Libra. Diplomacy and negotiation are emphasized, as Libra thrives on solutions that please everyone.<\/p>\n<p>This process may also bring challenges to relationships, as passive-aggressive or indirect expressions of anger multiply when Mars meets Libra. Libra can be evasive, and with the added emphasis of Mars, frustration may occur when we try to gain clarity or a sense of commitment from a partner. This is a better time for whispering sweet nothings and writing love poems than it is for dealing with the grim realities of dishwashing and whose turn it is to take out the garbage.<\/p>\n<div\nclass=\"infobox\">\u203a\u203a <strong>Try our <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/sasstrology.com\/transit-reports\">transit reports<\/a> for a personalized long-term forecast<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<p> <img\nfifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sasstrology.com\/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=38125&type=feed&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a better time for whispering sweet nothings than it is for dealing with whose turn it is to take out the garbage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/?p=41008\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[],"tags":[980,979],"class_list":["post-41008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-mars","tag-transits"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pekXVE-aFq","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41008\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
