Mars and Aries encourage us to take action, to fight and take initiative. Pluto is a planet which is going to prompt us in an unpleasant way at times to change, revolutionize elements which are outdated and doomed to disappear. This planet is in Capricorn, it’s about changing comfortable habits, the way we perceive the world. This can be felt in the family sector but also the professional realm, where once again we’ll be called upon, to change our way of working, our relations with colleagues and superiors. It’s possible that this aspect makes us come out of our comfort zone and requests us to make efforts and put in additional hours.
A more or less intensely experienced square
Among the 12 signs, Aries and Capricorn are the ones who’ll experience this square the most. For the first one, it could coincide with reorganization at work, to which they oppose through fierce resistance. Capricorns will confront family upheavals, there could a conflict with their children or even son in laws or daughter in laws. Cancer and Libra will be caught up in marital clashes.

Sagittarius and Gemini for example, will be the ones who’ll make the most of this shifting energy to professionally forge ahead, perhaps through changing jobs or create their own company. Pisces will treat things with philosophy and will see an opportunity for personal or spiritual evolution.

Therefore, it’s possible to come across financial difficulties due to market speculation. This could lead to business closures and layoffs.
