Daily aspects
This conjunction offers intense mental energy, an excellent ability to concentrate, a good memory, understanding of art, talent for languages, and a keen interest in literature. Traffic on the road, and travel in the sky, should go smoothly with this aspect.
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.
extile Moon (Scorpio) Your energy will feel slightly passive today, and you will be able to think rationally acting with your head, instead of just your emotions. You will treat your fellow human beings as equals. Employer and employee relationships will run smoothly. You feel at home everywhere during this time. Relatives and friends are helpful, so you should turn to them, but quickly because, unfortunately, this aspect does not last long.
extile Mercury (Capricorn) This is a good time for any sort of marketing, advertising and public relations. You may be heavily involved in communicating with family over Zoom calls or WhatsApp group chats. It's a great time to buy a car and go on short-distance travels. You'll also enjoy the company of neighbors. If you go on dates, great communication will occur. You and your loved one communicate effectively.
