Just after midnight, Mars in Aquarius squares off with Jupiter in Taurus, offering unwarranted enthusiasm. Zeal is both a blessing and a curse under this influence, and certain projects (or arguments) may not be worth pursuing. We could assume we are fighting the good fight or standing up for the underdog. And while our objectives may take our community into consideration, if we step back, we will see that we’re truly motivated by ego, not altruism. This is an excellent transit to utilize if anxiety typically dissuades you from making a first move. Courage can be leveraged to accept opportunities you might otherwise decline. But before leaping, look.
Around dawn, the Libra moon trines Mars in Aquarius, helping us channel our passions effectively. This transit allows us to be assertive without being aggressive. However, the Mars-Jupiter square will be the dominant aspect throughout the day, and a lack of motivation or conviction is not our problem now. Rather, a lack of restraint is. We probably feel quite confident and good in our skin. Our challenge is to check our impulses and be mindful of where enthusiastic acts or deeds can go sideways.
