With assertive Mars exactly opposite truth-seeking Jupiter today, it is possible that we may feel more compelled to share with others what is true for us at our very core. Waxing philosophically or pontificating about our beliefs is very possible and can also be a very energizing and insightful outlet for us now, as long as we also allow others the same right to their own beliefs or opinions.

On the shadow side, Mars-Jupiter can occasionally incite sparring over religion, spirituality, politics or the law. This is usually due to an over-zealousness on our part, and or the belief that we hold a monopoly on the truth.

Additionally, Mars-Jupiter can inspire us to more risk-taking. Especially since we also have the Moon in adventurous Aries today and the Sun quinqunx to experimental Uranus. Again, though, we would be wise to thoroughly calculate the impact of any potential moves before engaging in any new actions. Too, the Moon is void of course all day.

Mental Mercury is also applying to a square to psychedelic Neptune, which is exact on Monday. This can be an aspect of confusion or illogical thinking. However, on the flip side, it can be very good for activities that utilize our creative imagination, as Neptune rules the power of visualization.

Lovable Venus also shifts into her home sign of social, refined Libra today where she will reside until November 22^nd. Hopefully, this positioning will help to foster more of a cooperative spirit among us all and a rejection of uncouth behavior. “Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.
