As Lilith transits Libra and squares your composite Mars in Aquarius, expect to encounter some profound shifts within the dynamics of your relationship. This period highlights a deep-rooted tension between your desires for harmony and balance (Lilith in Libra), and a more detached, perhaps unconventional approach to addressing conflict or asserting individuality (Mars in Aquarius).
The square between these points suggests a clashing energy, where Lilith's raw, unfiltered essence challenges Mars' expression of will and action. When Lilith is in Libra, a sign that inherently seeks peace and partnership, its darker, more disruptive qualities are focused on your interpersonal connections, bringing to surface previously overlooked or suppressed issues within the relationship. You may notice an increased strain as hidden resentments or unexpressed needs make their presence felt, pushing both of you to confront aspects of your partnership that may not be functioning as equitably as presumed.
Meanwhile, Mars in Aquarius encourages an objective, somewhat detached confrontation with these emerging challenges. However, the innate detachment of Aquarius can sometimes translate into aloofness or a refusal to engage emotionally, which can aggravate the situation if not managed carefully. You might find yourselves struggling between a desire to address issues intellectually, without dipping too deeply into emotional waters, and the need to genuinely connect with and validate each other's more vulnerable feelings.
Navigating this transit successfully involves embracing the lessons of both these placements. Acknowledge the deep-seated issues that Lilith in Libra brings into the light, and confront them with the innovative, open-minded approach that Mars in Aquarius offers. This could be an ideal time to experiment with new ways of resolving conflicts or expressing dissent, ensuring that both partners feel heard and respected in their individuality. As you move through this challenging phase, aim to find a balance that honors both your need for peace and your spirit of individuality.
