By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox Agitated Mercury makes a square to forceful Mars today. Beware of making rash decisions. It's easy to give way to temper tantrums under this influence. When that happens, unfortunate choices are made. When commanded to choose a path, take deep breaths. Go for a brisk walk. Ask a wise counsellor for advice. Someone who has faced similar difficulties will offer valuable insight on dealing with this problem. In addition, rebellious Uranus will go retrograde. Words said in anger could be cause for regret. Try keeping control of emotions, especially when dealing with difficult people. Stubborn individuals won't listen to reason, so there's no point arguing. Looking ahead, the authoritative Sun will form a trine to professional Saturn. Career opportunities can abound for people who are willing to work hard and assume additional responsibilities. If it's your birthday today, the year ahead warns you not to jump to conclusions. The more you listen, the more you learn. Act like you're on a fact-finding mission. Pay attention to your romantic partner's likes and dislikes. Acquire marketable skills aimed at landing your dream job. Treat every conflict as a teaching moment.
