Mercury Conjunt Mars...

starts on November 19 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on November 21 at 5.53am in Kilmore, leaves on November 22. Both at 17 degrees and 07 minutes of Sagittarius.

The first thing that comes to mind with this combination is that we all have to make sure we don't become too quick to open our mouths before thinking!

Mercury represents our thinking and the way we communicate with the people and world around us... while Mars is a pretty fiery and impulsive character: the fact that they are travelling through Sagittarius adds fuel to the fire as well.  The energetic conjunction is also a bit like adding a spark to a load of fuel!

Although irritating or upsetting, however, sometimes things need to be said!  The conjunction offers the opportunity for a fresh start in the areas affected by these planets and to make this fresh start we may all need to clear the air and make sure matters are clear to everyone involved.

As usual look at which house this conjunction is falling in and which houses are ruled by the planets involved (Mercury = house cusps with Gemini or Virgo on them, Mars = house cusps with Aries or Scorpio on them).

If you have personal planets and/or points in Sagittarius then you may feel this aspect more strongly than others.
