The Daily Sky: Astrology For January 3-10, 2020

Mars enters Sagittarius on Friday. Normally this would be a time when I would be extolling the virtues of Mars in the sign of the Archer. Yes, Mars may be strongly placed in Scorpio (being the traditional ruler of that Sign), but that energy can be a bit much for some people to take. Mars in Sagittarius, on the other hand? It’s generally a lot more bouncy and fun and much more likely to liven things up at your next dinner party.

This time though? It’s like Mars in Sagittarius showed up at your party drunk to start with, rather than getting that way after the traditional couple of hours.

Between now and about January 10th, Mars in Sagittarius will be quincunx Uranus in Taurus. This can be an energetic but downright wacky time when your enthusiasm might be harder to control than usual, might come out in unexpected or in unusual ways, or you may simply find that others are, all else being equal, more annoying than usual.

Of course there is no way that you would be the more annoying one, right? Not you, certainly. You were just trying to make a point… right?

So have fun, keep an eye on your blood pressure if that’s an issue, and don’t start any unnecessary arguments. Or at least if you do, keep a clear line of sight between you and the nearest exit at all times.
