Before its retrograde, Mars was in Aquarius and made a trip back into Capricorn. Tonight Mars enters the air sign of Aquarius again and will go all the way through. Mars will take its time in this sign, not leaving until mid-November. In this social sign, Mars tends to help us prune our networks, making sure we are getting energy from our relationships instead of feeling like they suck our time and energy. Challenges to Mars being in this sign might be seeing things one-sided, or feeling like you’re the outcast because of the direction you’re going in. Paying attention to aspects Mars makes over the next two months will help you avoid these pitfalls.
But first– the Moon trines Mars while it is still in Capricorn, helping provide one last boost of constructive energy that bridges the gap before completion. You might find that you don’t accomplish 100% of what you were hoping for in this area of your life, but it is enough to get you to where you need to be, individually. If others can’t contribute or pull their fair share, then it’s on them!
The Moon slides into balanced Libra this morning, bringing a renewed focus to a new area of your life. You feel like you can get along with most people and that you have an unbiased perspective that allows you to make connections with almost anyone. In seeing things more fairly, though, don’t let yourself be paralyzed in over-analyzing things. Keep the momentum going and don’t get too caught up.
Your first opportunity to avoid getting caught up too much in the ethical dilemmas Libra can bring is this afternoon, with a square to Saturn. Your zeal for making the right call can prevent you from action when a situation has no perfect solution. Don’t beat yourself up if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, but rather look to other ideas or other people to help make the best out of what you’ve got.
