Usually, people tend to wait until the new year (or a new moon!) to set goals, but an upcoming aspect may have you feeling a bit differently. On October 19, Mars will form a conjunct aspect with Pluto that will really shake things up. This aspect can make you feel like you’re going haywire, but the goods news is that if you’re prepared for it, you can actually use this crazy energy to your advantage. Stay calm-here’s how Mars conjunct Pluto could affect you over the next few days:
- You’ll feel more ambitious than ever before.
Mars is known as a planet that represents passion and drive. When Mars makes an impact on us, we often feel pushed to go out and make strides towards our goals. With this aspect, that feeling is cranked up even more than usual. Your goals for the future might be keeping you up at night, and ambition could cross the line into obsession. Have a plan for exactly what you want to accomplish, how you’re going to do it, and when you want to reach that goal.
- You may be drawn to conflict.
For some, the passion that Mars inspires can actually lead them into negative situations. When you feel very strongly about something, but you encounter someone else who’s on the other side of the issue, those passions could easily clash. Do your best to control your temper during this time, and take extra care to relax and unwind at the end of each day. You need to release any angry emotions in a healthy, healing process.
- You’ll feel very competitive.
This can be a good thing-but as it turns out, you CAN have too much of a good thing. Having a competitive edge is good, but don’t let “competitive” cross the line into “ruthless” or “selfish.” And remember, competing to win by any means possible can easily turn into cheating or other unfair methods. No matter how badly you want to succeed, it’s not success unless you play by the rules.
- It’s a good time for creative pursuits.
Don’t neglect your creative hobbies during this time! Both Mars and Pluto can have a huge influence on our creative energy. Mars can push you to chase new ideas, and Pluto can reveal new inspiration. It’s a good time to keep a dream journal so that you can listen to exactly what your subconscious is telling you and translate it into your creative work.
- You’ll find that you cannot ignore your desires.
If you’ve been casually thinking of making a change for a while, you’ll suddenly find that you can’t shake the idea. Don’t make any rash plans, but don’t ignore these feelings. It’s a time to think about what you really want out of life-and if you’re not getting it, it might also be time to change your course. Whether that means quitting your job, moving, or letting go of an unhealthy relationship, you need to listen to your heart.
