On 7 December fiery planet Mars moves into Libra until July. This is an extraordinarily long stay as Mars usually only visits a sign for six to eight weeks.

This cosmic combo touches our relationships too as Libra signifies partnerships, so there may be more tension around couples and twosomes, but it can also bring about passion for duos who work together dynamically rather than romantically. The quest for love becomes stronger now, and the urge to merge with someone, mentally, emotionally and physically may be almost too much to bear at times. For others, this may help to keep tempers under wraps, and force us to find ways to charm and cajole rather than chastise.

Librans will feel this most, making decisions more easily and being more full on than usual, but we'll all feel this powerful pull in some way. How will the planet of war in the sign of peace and love affect you?
