Sunday, OCTOBER 29

Mercury and Mars opposed Jupiter yesterday, and today, they meet in the sign of Scorpio, and we can be mentally wired. We’re very interested in producing ideas and fixing problems.

The Mercury-Mars conjunction is a good influence for motivated, energetic work, particularly related to communications and the mind. Since it occurs in the sign of Scorpio, power dynamics and sharing may be involved. Mercury-Mars excites and over-stimulates our nerves. We want to get right to the point so that communications can be insensitive.

There can be aggressive or excited thinking and communication, and we are more invested in our ideas and convictions than usual. Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual, and it’s best to channel excess mental energy constructively.

Tensions are possible, particularly as we can be over-excited about an idea or resistant to letting others’ input in. There is an intensely competitive theme now.
