You may want to take a vow of silence while Mercury is opposite Mars today because anything you say will be misconstrued and used against you – and in the most aggressive way.  What makes matters worse is that the more you try to explain yourself the more heated the other party becomes.  It’s as if every word out of your mouth just pours more gasoline on the fire.  Thankfully you’ll discover that it’s the other party and not you who is out of line, but that won’t help you now.  It’s best to smile and nod in all of the appropriate places until Mercury moves out of range of this incendiary energy on December 5th. Signs most affected: Aries, Gemini, Scorpio, and Sagittarius
