Daily aspects
The Square between Mars and Pluto can make you uncontrolled, violent, offensive, vulgar, ruthless, and jealous. Financial damage could occur, addiction to waste, and excessive eroticism. Tempers may flare with those who hold power over you, so best to walk away and take a few deep breaths in before reacting. If you're female and going out to nightclubs, you must bring a friend to stay safe. If you get intimate in the bedroom, protection must be used.
During this aspect, you may be privy to many secrets that neighbors or siblings may share with you. You may have dark and/or intimate thoughts at times, and feel fixated or really intense about others around you, especially those that hold a lot of power over you. It is a time to fix your way of thinking, so that you can clear any negative thoughts and attract abundance.
The square between Mercury and Mars can make you nervous, aggressive, easily excitable, very open to criticism, exaggerating in your expressions and communication with others, intolerant, untruthful, and sarcastic.
The Capricorn Moon gives us seriousness, deliberation, concentration, and determination. Even ambitious goals can be a little closer. Duty calls, private life is neglected. There is a short time for enjoyment and leisure.
extile Neptune (Pisces) During this transit, time should be taken out to visit any relatives, or friends, that are currently in hospital, old age homes, or institutions. You will feel very charitable, and should spend time volunteering at animal shelters, and giving your time at soup kitchens. You will feel very close to your female friends, and may even be attracted to them. It is a perfect time for creative expression. Spending time on the beach will bring a lot of joy and relaxation, especially meditating there at sunrise.
