Since Tuesday is governed by Mars, let\u2019s see what the planets are up to, with an emphasis on this feisty red planet. <\/em><\/div>\n

As Mars makes his way through Sagittarius, he is now joined by Mercury. With eight degrees between them, they\u2019re close enough to be considered conjunct (that is, joined). Whatever you\u2019ve got to say (Mercury) will be infused with passion (Mars) \u2013 perhaps even a streak of temperament. There\u2019s also a bit of the know-it-all when Mercury and Mars get together in Sagittarius, famous for teaching. It would behoove us all to strive for greater knowledge and wisdom without pontificating (she says with knowing irony). <\/p>\n

Something else in today\u2019s planetary set-up catches my eye: it\u2019s Pluto – considered to be the higher octave of Mars. Essentially that means that Mars and Pluto have a similar vibration, but Pluto takes Mars\u2019 ego-based concerns and works them into more soul-oriented goals. Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, and is now exactly conjunct the North Lunar Node in Capricorn. The North Node points to our global dharma \u2013 the direction we\u2019re all heading towards. The combined energy of Pluto and the North Node intensifies our collective journey towards emotional maturity. It also suggests that we will eventually re-define the meaning of success, a very Capricorn concern. Is success based on salary, on career status\u2026what do you think? Make like Mars and Mercury, get on your soap-box and tell me!<\/p>\n
