This morning, Mars squares off with Chiron, and emotional wounds may suddenly feel like they are wide open. You're feeling some pressure and tension right now, as well as some irritability.
It is not always easy to convey our wants and feelings in a clear and direct way. There is a tendency to rebel against the wishes or plans of others.
Under this transit, we're more guarded and sensitive. We're also able to disconnect from the things that are making us feel depressed.
Since the Moon will move in Leo early morning, it will be much easier for us to break out of our shells, interact with others, and share creations. This transit is friendly, competitive, and loving.
There's a First Quarter Moon which occurs when the Sun in Taurus, forms a square with the Moon in Leo. This happens in the late afternoon.
Not long after that, we might learn the hard way, through trial and error, how the things we do affect our loved ones.
Aries:
Aries, the Moon is moving into your house of joy, which encourages you to break out of a routine and have a little bit more fun than usual.
You have been more laid back and looking for some predictability with the Sun in your second solar house; however, today you are more engaged.
A Mars-Chiron square, on the other hand, suggests that you may feel tense during the first half of the day. This could be because you don't feel connected to what you truly want or because you feel that things around you are moving too quickly.
If problems have been ignored for too long and have continued to worsen, there may be tension within the family. It may take some time for others to adjust to the changes you are making.
Taurus:
Taurus, early in the day, Mars square Chiron can bring up doubts, things from the past, or feelings of guilt that can harass you and interfere with your mood.
Nevertheless, occasional moments of uncertainty can be beneficial if they cause you to slow down and point you to vulnerable areas.
You may be reminded of past problems, which makes you more fragile or emotional than usual. Your desire for more variety and mental stimulation is genuine and can lead you in exciting new directions.
This morning you might be a little too scattered to be able to fully appreciate it, though. Try to fight the urge to make a quick change.
As the day goes on, it becomes easier to unwind. Since the Moon is currently transiting your house of heart and home, taking more time to be quiet can help you better understand your feelings on an issue.
Gemini:
Gemini, during the first half of the day, you find yourself frustrated or stressed out by issues pertaining to money, limits, or ownership.
With a Mars-Chiron square aspect in play, insecurities tend to be a driving force, and decisions made under these conditions can seem too forced or unnatural.
You're torn between going full speed ahead, backing off, or waiting, and indecision can be extremely frustrating.
Since you are not currently in touch with what it is that you truly need or want, actions taken now may be inappropriate.
You have a strong desire to get rid of some unpleasant things from the past, but getting rid of them is not likely to work out well for you.
Thankfully, as the day goes on, things seem to go more smoothly, and there is less of a sense of urgency to get things done.
Cancer:
Cancer, Mars in your sign may stimulate a strong desire to go your own way and do your own thing, but there may also be a strong demand from others regarding what they want from you today.
It will be essential to resist the urge to act on this inner tension. Anger can well up from within in quite unexpected ways, and it's a great idea to examine whether it's the emotional tension you've carried with you that deserves your attention.
Your early-morning moments of self-doubt may make you feel so uneasy that they prompt you to make a snap decision.
For the best results, be gentle with yourself and your activities.
Leo:
Leo, with Mars in your house of privacy, you are currently doing some mental spring cleaning, which can be empowering.
Do not let the somewhat impulsive energy of this morning convince you that the goals need to always be clear because they currently aren't.
There is a part of you that is dealing with ghosts from the past, past mistakes, and inner insecurities, and this process is necessary for you to be “all you can be” in the weeks ahead.
With the Moon entering your sign, you won't be able to completely avoid the spotlight; however, if you can ignore potential distractions, you will better center yourself.
You can't move forward without letting go of certain aspects of the past; otherwise, you'll bring unhappiness into the future. People may be more sensitive than usual today.
Virgo:
Virgo, in the first half of the day, there will be indecisive energy because Mars is square Chiron.
It is probably for the best to take a few slow, deep breaths and refrain from taking any emotional positions or getting involved in any petty drama at this time, as others appear all too willing to drag you into such situations.
Certain elements of your social interactions will be irritating. Try not to worry too much about where you stand in the lives of your friends, and if something about someone's behavior bothers you, try to ignore it tactfully.
This issue isn't worth arguing or stressing over. You might feel under a lot of pressure, but this kind of stress is not natural, and it is in your best interest to hold off on making important choices for the time being.
However, the need to make changes is very real.
Libra:
Libra, the first half of the day can be tense for you because you feel others don't quite understand what you want to say or that they misunderstand your goals and intentions.
Even if the urge to break up with someone or rearrange your schedule is particularly strong, it is likely that it will remain just that—an urge.
Today, others will be more demanding than usual, which will leave you with fewer opportunities to pursue your interests.
You will want to direct your efforts toward areas that require change, updates, and a more phased approach; however, it may take some time today to figure out exactly what this means or how to move forward with this strategy.
Allow yourself some breathing room and time. The Mars-Chiron square of today may produce energy that is up and down, which may stress you out or cause you to make mistakes, but if you watch carefully, you may find ways to find equilibrium. As the day goes on, it becomes easier to go with the flow.
Scorpio:
Scorpio, as the Mars-Chiron square exerts its influence on the first half of the day, you, may experience some irritability or find yourself more susceptible to the erratic emotions of others.
There is a feeling that change is on the horizon, but you may not be aware of what that means or where your energies should be directed. The end result could be attempts made with little to no effort, which are ultimately unsatisfying.
You have difficulty tolerating mundane or repetitive aspects of your life, which may prompt you to consider aspects that need to be changed.
Or, you might start to have second thoughts about a certain person because their actions do not inspire confidence or mixed signals and defensiveness are prevalent.
Aside from the muddled feelings, as the day progresses, you better understand what you need and desire.
Sagittarius:
Sagittarius, with Mars square Chiron, you may find yourself wavering between the desire to get close to someone and the desire to keep your distance from them.
The same thing can happen with a project or a business; a part of you might want to move forward with it, but another part of you might be afraid of overextending yourself.
You might experience feelings of urgency or compulsion to get something done. Be careful not to read too much into the actions of others today.
Words or actions of others resonate strongly with you; when this occurs, it is important to investigate the possible reasons behind the phenomenon.
Capricorn:
Capricorn, with a Mars-Chiron square that stirs up susceptibilities, frustrations can be very present, and you may be on edge in the first part of the day.
When you want to get something clarified with someone, you should keep in mind that doing so can provoke an argumentative stance on their part if you are not completely confident in what you are saying.
Under this transit, certain problems could become more pronounced, and you might be particularly sensitive to any feelings of lack of support or concern from people around you.
Despite the fact that inner conflict may be more likely to arise later in the day, this mission will become less difficult.
Aquarius:
Aquarius, there you will experience feelings of instability or insecurity during the first half of the day.
If you feel as though the pressure to make changes is too much for you, try to tame it. Under this influence, you may experience an increase in your concerns regarding a project or job function; you may also be plagued by doubts regarding the quality of your communications or the results of your work.
Someone's words can touch a nerve and bring up a whole host of repressed feelings. It is important to not give in to this feeling, especially if doing so would mean giving up on something very important.
Give yourself permission to feel exposed, even if it's just for the sake of getting to know yourself better; the day may have something to teach you about areas of your life that need to be healed.
Pisces:
Pisces, with Mars square formed by Mars and Chiron during the first half of the day, a disagreement over values may lead to conflict.
It may be best to recognize that your values are changing dramatically and that others in your life may have difficulty adjusting to the changes.
People tend to be overly sensitive because their insecurities are often very close to the surface. For you, these insecurities may revolve around money, performance, or whether others treat you poorly or disrespectfully.
You should try to be patient and think carefully about any intense reactions you might have, as these might be the clues to problems that need some healing and attention on your part.
Today, the Moon is transiting your house of work and health, so you are paying even closer attention than usual.
She is a curious, inquisitive, deep thinking, intensely feeling, otherworldly intuitive being who lives for signs, synchronicities and serendipities. Marci has a deep yearning to discover many of the answers that seem to have been hidden or forgotten in today’s world.
