Astrology of the Day – Mars trine Uranus – Sunday 11th March 2018

Mars trine Uranus - Do the unexpected

The Moon remains in Capricorn today, a rather staid, serious and business like sign where we carry on emotional baggage on our shoulders, and tend not to share our problems with others. We will not want to accept help from others, even if we actually need it, and we will hide our insecurities through looking strong and capable, and putting on an act if needs be.

The Moon starts this day in a very difficult set of square aspects. It is closing in on a conjunction with Saturn and at the same time is is making a square with Mercury and Venus. It's best if I pull all of these aspects together. The Moon and Saturn in Capricorn make us for a little while incredibly serious, unwilling to show any vulnerabilities, and we might reject any interference from others. It's also an indication that we may be be disappointed in some way with someone as they let us down, or this aspect may affect our emotional state and well being making us feel low and unworthy. Now the multiple squares to Mercury and Venus could cause difficult discussions, demands or requests on us that we may have to accede to, or we may have to take a whole load of criticism on the chin. The squares to Venus may affect a relationship, a love partnership or there may be emotional differences of opinion over someone's values, and what they think is right and correct.

I mentioned yesterday that Mars and Uranus were forming a trine, and in the middle of the day it finally comes together in an exact connection. This may see us taking off the cuff direct instant action and decisions that others won't see coming. We may suddenly lose our temper and throw a tantrum, or pull a rabbit out of a hat. We may surprise, infuriate, inflict pain or incite wild passion in someone else. This aspect is as accident prone as it allows us to race around at high speed with precision and daring, the trick is to keep our wits about us, and not to take one too many chances.

The Sun later on completes a sextile to Pluto, and this aspect highlight matters of power, control and change. We may find ourselves in a position where we will try to assert our authority over something or someone, or we may try to enact a change that may be needed. We will be steadfast and strong willed, and if this comes in the middle of a difficult emotional situation I can see a stand off between you and someone else. If we are being a bit more flexible however, then we can incorporate useful changes into our lives today to make our relationships more lasting and stronger.

The final aspect of the day is a sextile to Neptune, a gentle aspect to a rather stressful and hectic day. We can use our imaginations to drift off now, so why not put on some music, watch a film, socialise and have a drink or just find a quiet spot and meditate for an hour. Now we can get in tour with our spiritual side and find a little peace. After this weekend is complete, we might just need it...
