Daily aspects
This transit can cause a lack of inner balance, unreasonable views, and strange habits. However, romantic love affairs could also appear in your life. Don't be surprised if you get unannounced visitors at your house, such as female friends or relatives! You have the potential to gain, or lose, money unexpectadly right now.
This opposition can cause a lot of trouble at home, where fighting may occur over children and finances. It's not a good time to get advice from elders, or people in authority. Your mental state may not be good right now, as you may feel very melancholic. Right now, it's very important to get good sleep, fresh air, keep a clean environment around you, exercise and eat healthy.
When Mars is in Sagittarius, we develop a passionate temperament. We are enthusiastic speakers and like to deal with philosophy and religion. We love sports and love to travel, build enthusiasm for independence and freedom. We hate all that's trivial and small. We are brave, generous, open, and transparent in negotiations. We develop a strong sense of self and work tirelessly. However, there is also the danger of being arrogant.
