p worrying about things you cannot control. That’s one of the cosmic messages streaming into humanity as the red planet Mars in Leo forms a dicey opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (4:35AM PST). Not all opposition or polarity aspects are negative, but it is hard to sugar-coat this one and make it sound pleasant and user-friendly. First of all, these Mars-Neptune 180-degree link-ups only happen approximately every two years. Therefore, they are fairly rare and that makes them more potent. Generally speaking, sparks are flying in a wide variety of relationships. The partnerships can be romantic, business-oriented, friendships or simply new contacts. Nonetheless, Mars is bringing strong desires, passions and intensity into the picture while Neptune – striving for bliss and universal peace – is more likely to activate feelings of sacrifice and uncertainty. The combination usually winds up creating a mishmash of chaos in which interactions with others are more probably nebulous than sensitive and calm. You may still try to tweak this Mars-Neptune sky pattern into giving you added charisma and personal magnetism. Being more psychic and imaginative is another way to bypass the more discordant nature of this celestial tug-of-war. The late-evening vibrations are more conducive to experiencing improvement across the board since the Moon is approaching an upbeat, enthusiastic parallel to Jupiter (forming exactly at 1:39AM PST on Tuesday). Note: Start preparing for Neptune and Chiron direct stations on Wednesday November 9 and Thursday November 10 – including the Full Moon also on November 10.
