MARS SQUARES PLUTO:
On Friday February 1st at 10:15 P.M. EST this powerful aspect will create an atmosphere of stress and compulsiveness. People will not be apt to bend or make compromises and it’s easy to get into power struggles over small issues. You need to focus your attention on what’s most important and not let little disputes unsettle you. This square does tend to make the ego prominent and people may be reacting to something that’s going on within them and not so much to the circumstances. But that knowledge won’t help you if you get into disagreements. You will then have to deal with the mood this has created, no matter what the underlying cause may be. This can bring up old problems and make it hard to sidestep them. The best way to deal with this square is to avoid most confrontations. If something is important enough to fight about try to postpone it until you are working under gentler transits. If you can’t, then keep a clear head and don’t take the bait if the other person is intent on battling. Also, be aware of your own impulses and motivations. There is a compulsiveness this can bring up, and it’s easy to become obsessive about something. Don’t hold on too tightly to useless feelings or ideas. Let them go. You’ll be glad you did in the long run.
