Mars, Warrior Lord, is dominant in your chart this month. As he is in your sign of Gemini, his youthful thrust is mostly intellectual. While you may explode at times and need to assert yourself in power struggles, you are really grappling with new ideas about yourself. If you work out, especially if you run or do other aerobic exercise, this is a time where you overdo it a bit, and that is appropriate. Put your energy there. For intellectual inspiration, while you do this, listen to a book on tape.

Much of this martial energy will express itself in your workplace. Mars is in direct conflict with Uranus, Your Inner Disturber, who rules there now. If you haven’t already made a significant change at your job, or if you have not been forced to change due to technology, travel, or scientific breakthroughs, your feisty nature this month may just give you the final motivation to make a radical shift, or to walk out.

The Sun, Lord of Ego, is shining his light in your home. You want to be king of the castle. We are speaking of your inner king, so this applies to everyone. With the Sun in Virgo now and with his jester Mercury, Lord of Mind, right there with him, you want to organize and clean up your life at home in a grand way. This may happen practically in that you lift up the rugs and vacuum everywhere. This could also be more metaphorical in the sense of shedding light on what has been swept under the rug in the past. You want clarity in your home situation, order, and mental and physical hygiene.

The Moon, Queen of the Hearth, whose domain we are talking about when we discuss your home, addresses your friends. The Moon is also in Aries, a martial sign. You have even more driven emotional passion than indicated by Mars alone. You are upset by family matters, children, and by any volatility in your home. As you try to express your needs to your friends, especially female ones, you may appear overtly aggressive or driven, energy not usually associated with your sign. Saturn, Master of Discipline, comes to the rescue here. He may manifest as a rational sibling who calms you down and who gives you the needed structure in your life. Listen to his advice, as it can help you put things in perspective.

In money matters the Moon dominates as well. You may indulge in emotional purchases. Remember that you are also trying to clean up your home and that this is a legitimate want. Therefore, perhaps you can give yourself a spa day, or a nice dinner out, or a date at the theatre. It’s OK to spend money, just spend it on something consumable that does not collect dust later.

You are so self-absorbed this month that you do not have much time to care for the world at large. Try spending some of that money by writing a check to a charity, one that focuses especially on children’s and women’s issues. This will give you a sense of balance.
