Speed up or slow down? Move forward or withdraw? The energy of this Mars Day can feel confusing as the Red Planet clashes with Neptune. If you feel like you don’t even know what you want, you’re certainly not alone. This is not a day to make decisions or move forward, but instead, slow down and get a little more comfortable with uncertainty.

Where are we going? What are we doing? Confusion could set in as Mars squares Neptune. This is the most tense transit during Mars’ retrograde, making us question our direction and motivation. Rather than trying to figure it all out today, embrace the fog. Checking out into a fantasy isn’t the worst idea today… The waning crescent moon moves into Libra overnight, helping us find peace in surrender.

Two major transits balance each other out today. The sun and Saturn lock into a harmonious trine, helping us feel accomplished and giving us the willpower to tackle our duties. But on the other hand, Mars squares Neptune, clouding our confidence and making us question our capabilities. Because both energies are playing out at the same time, they counter-balance each other’s effects (thank you, Universe!)

As Mars and Neptune square off to one another, we could feel confused about the direction we’re heading. The waxing moon in Taurus makes six different connections throughout the day and nearly all of them bring a potential for restlessness or negativity. Self-care, or rest can help ease the tension.
