Mars, the planet of action, is having a little soirée in your Libra neighborhood, adding a kick of chili pepper to your compatibility salsa. Square to this is Chiron, the wounded healer, in Gemini - the sign of communication. You might order a shipment of duct tape, as words will need caution labels during this transit.

When Mars throws a party in Libra, this salsa dancing planet dances away conflict, preferring the waltz of charm and grace. However, this feisty dynamo is also urging you to address the elephant in the room (or the 10-pound dress hiding behind Libra's 2-pound handbag). It's time to open the Pandora's Box of your relationship and deal hands-on with the issues that are usually tucked away under the carpet of 'compromise'.

Adding to this, Chiron in Gemini is twinning Mars' energy and simultaneously popping bubble wrap under your tongues. Words may sting sharper than usual and verbal misunderstandings are as likely as mistaking wasabi for guacamole. Although Gemini's usual manuscript of witty humor and well-scripted dialogue might all seem Greek due to Chiron's presence, think of it as an opportunity to transform your communication.

Understandably, nobody enjoys these conversations, but consider the alternative - endless episodes of silent treatment and passive-aggressive toothpaste tube battles. Mars offreth the courage! Exploit it to the max - who knows, you might find a new sense of intimacy buried under those difficult topics.

Humor is a good salve for this transit. Laughing at the quirks of your relationship might just lighten the heaviness of Chiron. But remember, addressing real issues with sincerity is key. If timeout fails, think of yourselves as two kids with ice cream cones, sure it's messy and sometimes ends in a sticky squabble, but the sweetness is worth the minor trouble.

Don't let this dance of planets make you hit the panic button. With a spirit of understanding and a pinch of humor, your Mars-Chiron Square dance would look less like a wrestling match and more like a fun-filled salsa spin.
