Mars in Libra – Familiar Territory

When I was out picking raspberries early this morning, I started thinking about Mars shifting into Libra, joining Saturn and soon opposing Uranus and Jupiter in Aries. It dawned on me why Mars in Libra seems like familiar territory for me. With both my Sun and Moon in Libra, Scorpio rising and Mars in Scorpio I live with the combined energy of Mars and Libra every single day.

Observations: Parallels in Synastry

Parallels, or similar patterns in charts, are an often overlooked but very common phenomenon found when comparing the charts of friends, lovers and business associates. This is because parallels give us a starting point in understanding the other person.

In his chart, Mercury and Mars are both conjoined Neptune while in hers, Mercury is sextile Neptune and Mars is semi-sextile. They both are dedicated to their religious beliefs and neither of [...]
