Astrology of Monday, April 2nd 2018

Mars and Saturn conjoin today at 8 Capricorn. This conjunction is witnessed by the Moon in Scorpio just as it occurs, making its nature quite clear. The two sound a harsh note today, bringing attention to conflicts, frustrations and deprivations. Nonetheless, Mars and Saturn not only highlight difficult situations, they also spotlight the hard virtues necessary to work through them — resilience, patience and courage. Although the two have some intense nastiness to unleash somewhere, many people will just experience it as a particularly unpleasant start to their weekly grind. The method of redemption is to embrace the difficulties, both large and small, as an alchemical furnace in which to forge internal steel. Take things as they come.

Although the conjunction is exact today, it has been in effect for almost two weeks, and will contribute its qualities to the next several days.
