Daily aspects
This square can cause you to feel very lazy. You may just want to lie on the couch all day eating chips and ice cream, and drinking soda after soda. It's not a good time to invest money in any sort of real estate, or home décor, or renovations. It's also not a good time for any sort of risk taking or gambling, as your emotions will get too involved. If you are female, you may experience pain in the womb, hips and lower back while having your period.
This aspect brings you overall happiness, life success, health, well-being, vitality, harmony with parents and family, and there will be pleasant interactions between you and your partner. If single, it is a good time to go out on dates.
You may have visions of grandeur, and feel like you are godly. Your imagination may take you places that don't make sense, and you might turn to alcohol and recreational drugs to feel better. You may feel slightly melancholic. It will be good for you to express yourself creatively, from painting to playing music.
The god of war, Mars, faces the ruler of the underworld, Pluto, and it can be a turbulent time. You may be the target of criminal activity, and its important not to dabble in any sort of dark magic or witchcraft. Its best to stay far away from fireaems, sharp knives, or any dangerous situation. You may want to get very physical with someone but protection must be used, as this aspect can give you herpes, where your skin will get inflamed with red bumps all over it, or a worse, more deadly virus could be exposed inside your body.
