Mars in Libra and Venus in Leo in Erotic Astrology

With Mars in Libra and Venus in Leo catching up to one another in the skies, and reaching out to one another underneath this week’s eclipse, I felt inspired to share the excerpts on both of these placements from my most recent book, Stellar Sex.

As the cosmic lovers of astrology, and in myth, it can be helpful to understand how both of these energies show up in their respective transits, and therefore how we can work with them in our own lives, even if they aren’t our own natal placements.

Mars in Libra:

In Venus-ruled Libra, Mars is said to be in its detriment, just like Taurus. And it’s true, Mars is a bit funny in the sign of the scales, especially when it comes to sex. These are the pickiest lovers around, without a doubt! Because Libra values beauty and refinement, wanting everything to be of high quality and taste, in Mars, they are uncharacteristically overt about what they like, or don’t. This quality extends itself to sex, as well. The mood, the atmosphere, the style of love-making needs to be just right.

Once Libra does find a worthy partner, though, they aim to please. They are givers in bed, to be sure, but trust that they are expecting you to give right back! Equality is the name of the game, afterall, and they are looking for a balanced approach to giving and receiving.

Certainly, these lovers are quite charming, as is every position of Libra. Under the influence of Mars, that charm can turn downright provocative, though in a more subtle, graceful way than you might expect. These lovers are seeking sexual growth, and will not stay with someone who doesn’t offer up that potential.

Beyond this, Libra rules over the lower back and the butt! Thus, they love being spanked or grabbed, and will likely dish out a fair share of their own gropes. Because this is an erogenous zone for Libra, you might be surprised just what they’re down to try with the back door.
