Daily aspects
extile Saturn (Leo) This transit increases your sense of responsibility and organizational talent. You will be able to pursue your goals with care and deliberation. It's a good time to get together with women in groups, and discuss important issues.
This is an important period not to get into fights with women, as there could be power and ego struggles. You may fight with family, and problems could occur over joint finances and taxes. It's highly important not to get involved in psychic practices, or astral travel right now, as you could attract the attention of evil entities.
When Mars is in Scorpio, we develop intense energy. We achieve a goal that we have set, and we accept ruthlessness. We experience passionate feelings. A possible partner is watched and defeated with passion. We can be extravagant and unfaithful. We are brave and fearless, but we can also be contentious, authoritarian, and oppressive.
