Mercury squares Mars and Saturn: Caution in communication

Mercury squares Mars and Saturn over the next few days and we can expect irritation and the potential of arguments of all types, including written communication. We may have to work harder to maintain harmony in communication, travel, thinking and interaction with others.

The square to Mercury is exact in the early morning hours of April 4, and the square to Saturn is exact in the early morning hours of April 5. As the Mars-Saturn conjunction is still well within orb, that energy is with us as well.

When the planet of communication clashes with Mars we can expect frustration, back biting, sarcastic speech, difficulties in communication, irritation over work problems, transportation and travel problems, issues with children or young people, and in some cases relatives, neighbors and immediate family members. Diplomacy is needed. In some instances infectious diseases could be spread.  At its best there could be a great burst of mental energy on the positive side.

Mercury-Saturn transits tend toward frustration and feeling limitations, tiredness, a pessimistic outlook, inhibited communication, depression, and unsympathetic attitudes given or received.

Mercury rules travel, communication of all types, children and young people. This is not a good day to present important ideas.

The squares to Saturn and Mars will occur again after Mercury turns direct on April 25, and May 12, so take note of situations that occur at this juncture.
