Mars Square Retrograde Pluto...

starts on April 10 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on April 12 at 6.41am in Kilmore, leaves on April 13. Mars at 7 degrees and 30 minutes of Aries, retrograde Pluto at 7 degrees and 30 minutes of Capricorn.

Looking at this aspect on its own, it suggests a pretty serious clash of energies that will test the way we use power, and also show us just how far others are will to go in using theirs.  It is important to keep your own actions honourable during this time, regardless of what others chose to do, particularly since it may feel as though you are being provoked in certain areas of your life!


It is also important to remember that Mercury is also involved, since it is travelling the same sign as Mars, making communication/thinking more impulsive than usual.  Mercury is also retrograde adding confusion and easy misunderstandings to the mixture, so you can see that it may be best to avoid making quick/harsh judgements until another time!

As is usually the case look to see where this aspect is falling to get an idea for what or who may be at cross-purposes in your life, and where power issues will need to be handled with care.  Also look to see which houses are ruled by Mars (one with Aries on the cusp) and Pluto (one with Scorpio on the cusp).

If you have personal planets and/or points in Aries or Capricorn you may feel this energy more strongly than others.
