Ideally, Libra wants fairness and balance in their relationships. However, Mars is (debilitated in Libra) making it more challenging in relationships or partnerships. Team Libra is going work overtime attempting to mediate or diffuse any aggressive conflicts that come to the surface. Both Libra & Libra Rising will feel this transit the most, for Mars is a personal planet, and it impacts faster than outer planets. However, it does impact all the zodiac signs depending on the astrological houses.

The (Warrior planet) Mars is causing indecisions in Libra. There can be more tension, passive-aggressive behaviors in others. While this can be challenging, the key is to find common ground if possible. Libra does have the leverage with its natural 7^th House working with determination creating a positive outcome despite all the noise. For some there can be breakups in both your personal & professional relationships. You may uncover that there is an uneven/lack of reciprocity.  There could be a turning point under the Mars in Libra motivating you attracting a better alignment. Expect clashes with certain people, where control issues are front & center.

Also, look where you have the 1^st & 7th House in either a solar chart or natal chart (in both the position of the planets & the positions of the house placements in your natal wheel). If you have dominant Cardinal signs--Aries, Libra, Cancer, & Capricorn, this will play a significant role.
