Mars, Mercury Conjunction in Libra ~ Assert yourself sweetly

Mercury, planet of thought, comes together with action-oriented Mars in Libra from October 3rd to 24th, 2025.

This combination in a thinking-oriented air sign increases your mental energy and makes your wishes known clearly. You are smart and persuasive, but also ready to talk tough and give an ultimatum. There is a risk of irritable speech and argument under this transit, where you demand an exchange of views and have people close to you respond. You will accept anything except being ignored. Mercury and Mars are planetary enemies, which may create harsh speech, and perhaps an over-critical approach, or airing an unpopular truth.

You get the final credit for being right, but a frustrated or unspoken detail may also come out in a rash moment. Libra is a charming and diplomatic sign; however, this is a great time for taking an issue through the proper channels, where you put your views across without creating conflict. You can assert yourself subtly, perhaps without people even realizing you are doing it. There is also a competitive quality to your conversation, where tension arises over who is first to an idea or solution.

You have good intuition for people and puzzles, and this is an opportunity to showcase your mechanical skills and problem-solving ability. The supportive influence of Jupiter, planet of philosophy, up to October 18th, gives you inspiration and the freedom to plan ahead, and this is also a good time for studying and meeting an academic deadline. A teacher or knowledgeable person may be at hand to give you guidance, and being fully informed on a subject allows you to defend yourself in a hot debate.
