Mercury square Mars

We've entered the Aries time of year which is the first day of the astrological new year. Aries is the first sign of spring and is associated with birth, new beginnings, high energy and has a dynamic visionary feeling to it. You may not be totally on board with this energy just yet as the Pisces new moon is still in effect. There's some residue of fog left over that's melding with the urge to generate new action. The Aries energy most likely won't come in at full speed until the full moon breaks us out of any remaining doldrums on March 28. Meanwhile you will start to feel some heat in your step especially since Venus has also entered Aries. This will promote more energy for socializing. Things are opening and there's more thrust to get together with others as restrictions continue to be lifted.

Today Mercury squares Mars. That's a tense aspect around communication. This can veer towards negative outbursts that are loud, crude and not well thought out. Mars and Mercury can go on a verbal attack so make sure when you're giving directions or directives you're not overly bombastic or caustic. Verbal abuse is a key phrase under this aspect. People will be moving and thinking too fast and that goes for transportation issues so take extra caution and pay attention especially if you're in a rush. This can be an accident prone aspect so don't speed!

There's an extremely positive side to this square in terms of creative writing in the areas of poetry, fiction or music. Mars can receive a lot of imaginative support from Mercury if you direct it in a focused and disciplined way. This can be used for creative storytelling, creative thinking and speaking - but on the other hand those that have a talent for lying, being a thief or trickster can use this aspect to their benefit. Be careful of being taken advantage by a "used car salesman" type of personality. It can be easy to stretch the truth and believe false facts.
