Thursday, SEPTEMBER 24

Mercury opposes retrograde Mars this morning – an aspect that occurs approximately every two years. We can be quick on the trigger with verbal reactions to others under this influence. We can feel pressured to get things done quickly, and the pace is hectic or mental tension makes things feel chaotic. We can be agitated, competitive, combative, and argumentative, talking over others and/or communicating things that agitate and stir up controversy. Recent nervous tension can reach a release point, and this can be messy at first, but ultimately helps clear the air. The Moon spends the day in resourceful, sensible, and earthy Capricorn, and as the day advances, tempers can even out.
