Are you think­ing first, or are you just act­ing? Or, are you think­ing too much, and so fail­ing to act in a time­ly man­ner? That is the issue today as Mer­cury rul­ing your mind, thoughts and com­mu­ni­ca­tions and Mars rul­ing your desires, dri­ves and actions are seem­ing­ly at odds with one another.

Mer­cury in Scor­pio is look­ing to probe beneath the sur­face and dig up what is hid­den; yet Mars in Leo is moti­vat­ed by what is respect­ful and respectable. Do you go deep­er and risk the expo­sure of your­self or anoth­er, per­haps to be true to your­self yet risk the hon­or and respect of some­one else, or your­self? Or do you act respect­ful­ly, with deco­rum and def­er­ence, while inside you churn and chafe over what greater “truth” you have left unsaid?

It is not easy to know what is right or “more right” here. But Mars is the “heavy”, the weight­i­er plan­et in this encounter, and so you should or must act with hon­or and respect­ful­ness. To find and stay on the path of self-ful­fill­ment you should always fol­low the gold­en rule of “First, do no harm”.

With­out ques­tion, your mind and spir­it are quick­ened today so a good approach would be to take even more time to think things through. Do not push your­self or anoth­er into hasty deci­sions or actions. Though excit­ing, dar­ing or bril­liant as they may appear or feel…it could all lead to less by your desire to impress or be appreciated.

Most impor­tant and always remem­ber that the most impor­tant part of com­mu­ni­ca­tion is…To Listen…to the oth­er (and to your own high­er self).

Retain your enthu­si­asm, but you need to lose your impa­tience if you want to dis­play your bril­liance today.
