Mars Square Pluto — When the god of energy and action squares off with the god of power and obsession, we are bound and determined to attain our desires. Determination is great; it's the "bound" part you want to avoid. Beware of the will to win becoming the instinct to dominate. Nix unnecessary struggles; use this energy to craft a strategy.
ARIES
Is it your way or the highway, Aries? You could endure a few bumps with your closest partners this week, as Mars, the planet of action and aggression rides through your House of Partnerships, and squares off with Pluto, ruler of power and control. It could be that you feel frustrated now, held back or limited by certain connections that you think are keeping you from getting to your rightful place in the world. This energy imbues you with great determination; focus on internal breakthroughs rather than external conflicts.
TAURUS
You're normally content with and committed to your routines, Taurus, but now you may feel the desire to break away acutely. The weight of your daily commitments may feel like like a drag compared to your larger goals. "How can I travel to Europe/write my book/create my masterpiece when I have to mop the (epithet deleted) floors?" Your tenacity is one of your greatest gifts, and is highlighted by this dynamic energy; rather than wasting time in anger, channel your will into making more strides toward your next level-up. This frustration will pass.
GEMINI
You're a free-spirited sort, Gemini, so you don't appreciate it when others put limits on you any time — but this week, limits could feel like shackles. Mars, the planet of energy and action, is in your House of Creativity, Romance and Play, urging you to be yourself and do your own thing, but he's squaring off with the planet of power and control, Pluto, in your House of Intimacy and The Other, putting your personal desires at odds with your "greater" needs. Rather than resenting others in frustration, channel your aggression into solving problems — the better for you to enjoy yourself sooner.
CANCER
You draw power and satisfaction from your connections, Cancer, but this week you may come up against some opposition, as aggressive Mars squares off with powerful Pluto from your House of Home and Family. You could become frustrated with your partner or closest loved ones when they seem to "get in the way" of your plans or challenge you. Your best bet is to focus this dynamic energy on what you can control, and that is certainly not people, or even circumstance. It's you and your actions, and they are powerful now.
LEO
Do you know what helps make your roar so terrifying, Leo? How rarely you unleash it. But you may feel tempted to bellow this week, as aggressive Mars has entered your House of Communications, and he's squaring off with powerful Pluto in your House of Work and Routine. You long for change and transformation, and you may feel like others aren't listening to the important messages you're sending. Rather than placing the blame on the receivers, concentrate on what you can control: yourself, the messenger. You can persuade rather than proclaim.
VIRGO
You play by the rules normally, Virgo, but this week, you could feel tempted to gamble, leap before you look and shock the world with a sharp left turn. Aggressive Mars is heating up your House of Money and Values, increasing your urge to own and attain, and he's squaring off with powerful Pluto in your House of Creativity, Romance and Play, who's obsessed with breaking boundaries and acting out. Before you barter your retirement fund for a ticket to Hollywood, focus on planning a strategy to get there safely. Your dreams are within reach — you just need to build a ladder.
LIBRA
How much of who you are do you attribute to who, and where, you come from, Libra? You may find yourself frustrated by the limits of your roots this week, as aggressive Mars charges up your House of Self, and faces off with powerful Pluto in your House of Home and Family. It's important for you to assert yourself and your desires now, but be careful not to manipulate or dominate others in a bid to get what you want. An honest approach can do wonders to alter the behavior of others. Establish boundaries. Then use them to get where you're going.
SCORPIO
When you speak, others listen, Scorpio. Sometimes this can feel more like a burden than a boon, and you might feel a bit of frustration this week when others ask for you input, when all you want to do is focus on your own business. Mars, the planet of energy and action, is heating up your House of Secrets and the Past, and facing off with your ruler, powerful Pluto, in your House of Communications. Rather than getting frustrated, use your clout to encourage others to resolve their own issues; that way, you can spend more time on your own.
SAGITTARIUS
You're feeling the pressure, Sagittarius, to produce, to realize your goals, and to prove the worth of your ideas in the real world. You're also feeling the frustration of every achiever — the friction of limitation. Aggressive Mars is heating up your House of Allies and Organizations — AKA the House of Big Goals, and he's squaring off with powerful Pluto in your House of Money and Values, indicating that you can lead your team to victory, and your audience to applause, but it won't be through manipulation or domination. Focus on your performance, not its outcome.
CAPRICORN
Don't burn the bridges that lead to your goals, Capricorn. You demand, and deserve, to be recognized for your accomplishments now, as aggressive Mars heats up your House of Career and Destiny — but he's facing off with powerful Pluto in your House of Self, indicating that frustrations could bubble regarding your status, and would be better analyzed than catalyzed. You may feel undervalued and could feel the urge to torch your opposition with a few choice phrases. Hold off — the frustration will pass, and you might still want a couple of those bridges un-singed.
AQUARIUS
You know that part of the moving process, Aquarius, where you go through all your old stuff so you can toss what you don't need, instead of lugging it along to your next stop? Don't skip that step. Aggressive Mars is riding through your House of Journeys and Philosophy, urging and empowering you to break free and go on a new adventure. But he's squaring off with powerful Pluto in your House of Secrets and the Past, indicating that you need to clear away some old, dry brush in the road before you can see the path. P.S. That brush is flammable. Avoid intense exchanges; they have the potential to go up in flames.
PISCES
What do true friendship and true intimacy mean to you, Pisces? Are you getting what you need from your connections? You may feel challenged when it comes to loved ones this week, as aggressive Mars has moved into your House of Intimacy and the Other, squaring off with Powerful Pluto in your House of Allies and Organizations. If you are giving more than you are getting, or otherwise sensing an imbalance, your time is better spent changing your habits rather than trying to change others. Show others how to treat you by the way you treat yourself. Don't burn bridges; light torches.
