Because of that, Libra will make some significant inroads. The Libra assimilates very rapidly the characteristics of their environment and sizes things up quickly. The flexibility they display in judgment and in human exchanges gives them the reputation of being very sociable and socially adept in any situation. They strive towards balancing opinions and weigh information carefully before dismissing or accepting information as fact or fiction.

Mars

Mars is the planet that represents the desire for action, physical energy, male sexuality, strength, leadership, as well as self-centeredness in personalities. It rules Aries and Scorpio along with Pluto.

Mars is currently working in the zone with Capricorn. This means the Capricorn individuals will be more dynamic. Their energies are aroused (wink wink) and they have the go ahead to discover new life settings and to broaden their horizons. The Capricorn individual has the soul of an adventurer and that soul will be in full force! Because their nature is to be straightforward and direct, it will be difficult for them to have a poker face when negotiating currently or to follow the tortuous paths of diplomacy. They do not fear danger or repercussions as they feel their scope of action has no limit. As their nature is to feel concerned about all things, they will readily commit themselves in collective struggles or actions. Tread lightly so not to over extend or commit, but when you do so, realize this is the time to act. They feel that it is important to go beyond limitations and to take action to make an impact on society. Mars will stay in Capricorn till the 4th of December this year.

It will give the horoscope signs especially (Leo, Aries and Sagittarius) a great push or rush to achieve their goals. It will increase the chances of travels around the world for the holidays.  It will give these horoscopes more awareness about the cultures and the society around them. This is a good thing as it opens them up to be more social. Jupiter will also give great chances to complete study especially in philosophy, religious and history fields. Think of enrolling in a course if not currently involved. This holiday season will also give the fire signs an added boost for opportunities to spend a lot of fun time and celebrations with friends and family. Those signs will also fall under the influence and the love of children. Children’s creativity is often remarkable. On a negative side, these horoscopes will become more self-centered and selfish during this year and next year too.

It can also provide incredible wisdom and high mental courage to deal with all of the challenges. Under Saturn, people discover who their true friends are. Saturn is currently ruling Capricorn and extends its affects on all horoscopes but especially on (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn).

Saturn is in Scorpio’s domain for the next year and six months. It has a major effect on Scorpio females. Their demand for precision as well as their intent to comprehend and understand all things may make them seem a bit tough or harsh even to their closest friends. Because they are fond of precision, they are typically interested in the sciences. Their capacity to understand mysteries will be strengthened so think about ways to take advantage of this mental energy and push. It will be time to learn to control the instincts or it will be detrimental to spontaneity and opportunities for growth. Saturn will stay in Scorpio till September of 2015.
