New Moon on Monday Astrology

24 August 2011

Who’s feeling stressed out? 

Mars, the planet that brings us our energy as well as our aggression is squaring Saturn, the planet that limits and binds.  This will be exact overnight tonight (at 3:48 pacific daylight time). 

A square is just like it sounds:  two planets 90 degrees from each other.  When a square happens, we get cornered. 

Mars is in Cancer, Saturn is in Libra - both are Cardinal signs.  Whenever two planets are at the same degrees of two signs of the same quality we have a square or an opposition.  

The square between a planet like Mars and Saturn the Disciplinarian kind of feels like confronting authority, or possibly authority cornering you.  It’s not an easy combination, and since it’s happening in Cardinal signs it’s going to force all of us to take action in one way or another.  

Here’s the good news:  even if you’re forced to do something you’re completely absolutely not looking forward to - you’ll feel better and be better on the other side. This energy will be dissipating as soon as tomorrow morning and we’ll all be back to ourselves by the weekend. 

Just do it,
