Moon occult Mars

You’re going to be peeved and agitated all day so give loved ones and friends fair warning. Everything and nothing is bound to set you off. Moreover you could react like a ship under fire – turning its guns on those racing to the rescue. It could get so bad that not even you will be able to stand your own company. Moon/Mars occultations are like fevers. There’s not really much you can do with them except wait for them to break. Thankfully this will only last 48 hours at most which means that you can look forward to life returning to normal soon. Hopefully there won’t be too many burnt bridges and smoking debris left in Mars’s wake. If so, then you’ll want to pick through the wreckage immediately to see what’s salvageable. Signs most affected: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn
