What Mars governs

How it plays out
Libra is a Air, Cardinal sign ruled by Venus, and that shapes how it carries Mars. Air expresses itself through the mind and through connection: thought about, talked through, and understood before it is felt. As a cardinal sign, it initiates: this part of you wants to start things, lead, and set the direction.
Is your Mars really in Libra?
Mars moves through the zodiac on its own schedule, so your Mars sign often differs from your Sun sign. Only your birth chart shows where it actually falls. Nocturne computes your whole chart precisely and reads Mars in the context of everything else in it.
