NOTE: There was a typo in the newsletter. I wrote: “Mercury opposes Mars & squares Saturn” Below is the corrected aspects.
MERCURY CONJUNCTS MARS & SQUARES SATURN:
On Wednesday November 10th at 7:57 A.M. & 12:04 P.M. EST this pair of aspects will complete. Be careful how you speak to each other. The conjunct to Mars is an argument waiting to happen and there’s no reason why it has to happen to you. There will be much vitriol in the air and people will be looking for a fight. Because Mars & Mercury are in square to Saturn now, followed in a few days by Mercury square Uranus, a lot of tension is bubbling under the surface. The squares to Saturn create a sense of frustration and can be quite irritating. By adding Mars to the mix we will see a few days of pressure and repressed anger. This can be what is called a “slow-burn” as the frustration builds to a breaking point and people explode in an uncontrollable barrage of anger. You must pay attention and think before you speak. You could be on line with someone in the supermarket who has just heard some very disturbing news and has no way to assimilate it. That might easily manifest by pushing that angst out towards anyone in their vicinity. Be careful.
MARS SQUARES SATURN:
On Wednesday November 10th at 6:14 P.M. EST this square completes the triangle for today. This is a very frustrating and repressive energy that can easily create tense and even violent results. Mars is the ego and it demands a free reign to act out as it wishes. Saturn is the great repressor. When these two come into a hard aspect there is often some tension and unavoidable conflicts. But remember, Mars is exalted in Saturn-ruled Capricorn and if these energies are used well and in tandem you can accomplish a great deal. Allow Saturn to help focus your attention where it is most productive and you can get a lot of work done. But don’t kid yourself. This will be a few days of stress, and on Saturday Mercury will oppose Uranus, another tense transit.
