Libra 23 Sep - 23 Oct

As Mars moves into his final week in direct motion in your romantic sector, the warrior planet of the cosmos is slowing down. After five weeks of what is normally a six week visit, Mars should be preparing to leave. Instead Mars is preparing to retrace his steps, with the spirit of romance digging in for the long term.

Since Chiron, planet of healing's return to your relationship sector two months ago, the Moon's return to Libra has put them in opposition, creating some tension. Yet you're used to clashes between your personal and relationship needs, with the difference this time being that each time strong emotional responses are fuelled, there is an opportunity for healing.

At the same time that Juno, queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships moves into her final 12 days in your relationship sector, her alignment with Eris is drawing to an end. Eris is the keeper of everything you need to know about what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Now it's time to commit to walking the talk.
