Don’t Behave Like Machiavelli

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE — DECEMBER 8th 2020

Mars in Aries is slow out of the starting block because it hasn’t faced the Moon / Venus dilemma. They want to tarnish Mars’ brute force approach and introduce social graces. The 3 planets form a Yod that involve fire, water and earth elements. Collectively, they are giving you the chance not to act in Machiavellian ways. So don’t fall in line with the Martian mantra of:

“I want it and want it now. And, I don’t care who I have to step on to get what I want.”

With Mars in the 2nd house you are geared up to take aggressive and daring actions. Venus in Scorpio completes the fire / water combination with Mars in Aries. You could be prone to expressing yourself in excitable ways, without giving any thought about your actions. However, you could miss the chance to deal with the conflict between freedom and attachment.

Conversely, when Mars speaks to the Moon in Virgo, you may misinterpret this fire / earth union. This is done by believing you can steamroll your way to success. Rather than do this, find the courage to turn creativity into a tangible form.

By blending this whole equation, you can use Mars to examine your ideals and values. Leading you to act with more prudence and consideration whilst in pursuit of your goals.

The Moon and Mars are also activating the Nodes. They present you with the choice between living through outmoded frames of reference. Or, choosing to be more curious and less intense.
