Mars Opposition Mercury
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act; Mercury, the way you think, speak and learn.
The lesser malefic and the planet of the mind in confrontation, lived above all in debate with the other: a time of disputes and stubbornness, in which each entrenches in their position and none gives way. The native treats a challenge to their ideas as an attack upon themselves — it is well to recognise this and to ask whether there is truly a question of substance or only egos in collision. The mind is potent, but tends to scatter or to rush through excess of energy. It asks redoubled care in travel and in all that may bring accident. Good for mental work alone; bad for settling matters — those are better put off to a cooler head.
