Saturday, NOVEMBER 18

The Sun aligns with Mars early today in the sign of Scorpio, and it’s an especially dynamic time. We thrive on activity and progress. Our more passionate, aggressive, and courageous natures come to the fore. We are direct and frank and perhaps short-tempered and impulsive. We should watch for bringing a strong ego to a situation, however.

While it’s an excellent time to lead, we should avoid self-centered and egotistical behavior. Passions run high, but sudden urges and desires could be more about internal unrest than inner truth. If we can tap into our true desires, we can accomplish much.

Tonight’s Mercury-Pluto semi-square can find us mildly skeptical as the day advances. This influence can excite some tension or mental distress and worry. We tend to obsess over an issue that we can’t control. We’re somewhat mistrustful under this influence, although if we harness the energy and use it for good, we can develop strategies to get to the bottom of a matter.

The Moon is void from 3:28 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 6:28 AM EST.
