This is a tricky combination because speed is of the essence. If you snooze you lose when Mercury and Mars are this close together. The problem is that the information is so hot that the people it affects may not know what’s up. In other words something may be labeled as sold without a certain someone’s knowledge or that job you’re interviewing for is for a position where the person hasn’t been let go yet or you may be first in line for a rental where the residents aren’t even aware that their lease isn’t being renewed. In any case you’re going to have to exercise a great deal of discretion and tact right now or things could get really awkward. Signs most affected: Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, and Scorpio
