It’s an interesting weekend. Today Mars, the action planet, squares Uranus, which is known for its willful, rebellious nature. Together they incite a wild energy, revealing our inner thrill-seeker, our inner adrenaline-junkie. People tend to drive faster and take more chances now. They are also more impatient, easily frustrated and temperamental. Confrontations can escalate out of all proportion. Mars/Uranus has a strongly competitive spirit and is determined to demonstrate its prowess, to go to extremes to overcome the odds. But just because Mars/Uranus is willing to take chances, doesn’t mean that it has good judgement, thus, it is also known for being quite accident prone. So please, consider the consequences before you jump into action this weekend.

Also this weekend, Mercury is starting a series of conjunctions with Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury conjuncts Pluto on Sunday. Then later next week Mercury will be going retrograde and, moving in apparent backward motion, Mercury will return to conjunct Pluto two more times.

Mercury/Pluto produces some strange mindsets. There’s a tendency to obssess over some episode from the distant past that comes back to haunt us now. Ideally we can process and release some of the old emotions and attitudes that are keeping us bound to the past.

Mercury/Pluto has great powers of concentration and deduction. It is associated with psychoanalysts and their patients, criminal investigations and their subjects, with cops and with criminals.

Mercury/Pluto is a master at ferreting out other people’s secrets and discovering their hidden motivations.

Speaking of secrets, WikiLeaks exposure of State Dept correspondence is a perfect example of Mercury/Pluto’s association with secrests and their exposure. This is the third round of WikiLeaks document dumps. There hasn’t been so much outcry previously but now Julian Assange is vowing to post a collection of documents from a large multi-national bank, so the threats to Assange’s welfare begin as he gets close to the seat of real global power. This is all very Mercury/Pluto and there’s more to come as this Mercury/Pluto period will last through mid January.

Aries
Mercury and Pluto are conjuncting in your career sector. It looks like someone is throwing their weight around at work. This is really stirring up your authority figure issues, making it hard not to react. This is a good time to come to terms with something that happened a long time ago.

Taurus
You’re quite the philosopher these days. Politics and religion are two central themes. Do your belief systems need a little review and revision? Are restrictive old attitudes hindering your effectiveness? Mercury/Pluto is encouraging you to embark on a course of study, begin a project that requires concentration and your problem-solving skills.

Gemini
Someone has been telling secrets and you are party to some very private information. Or maybe you just put two and two together and figured it out on your own. Your intuition is strong now and you are particularly perceptive.There have been some interesting revelations. Energy follows thought, so a lot depends on where you’re putting your focus.

Cancer
Mercury and Pluto are in your relationship sector so you may have to deal with someone who is acting strangely or undergoing some kind of mental or emotional crisis. Communicating may be difficult but its important to try and reach out. Your caring and sympathy can make more of a difference than you realize.

Leo
A habit or addiction exerts its hold over you, revealing that you’re not in as much control as you’d like to believe. Focus on the positives and develop the new interest that you keep saying you’re going to pursue. It’s time for some new habits.

Virgo
A loved one or child is a source of concern. They may seem withdrawn and alienated. Encourage them to open up. Give them permission to talk to you and don’t punish them if you don’t like what you hear. The point is to open up the lines of communication.

Libra
There are some major mind games going on on the home front. There’s a battle for control underway and someone is willing to go to any extreme to win. At least, that’s what they’d like to make you believe. Somewhere in here there’s an opportunity to learn something about your family history that you didn’t know before.

Scorpio
You become obssessed with some stream of thought that you just can’t seem to get out of your mind. It keeps nagging at you like a problem waiting to be solved. There’s something you’re working out. Give yourself time. You’ll know when the answer arrives. In the meantime, you find yourself saying surprising things, expressing feelings that you didn’t even know you had.

Sagittarius
Financial concerns are dominating your thinking these days. It’s been feast or famine when it comes to money, all or nothing. It seems the more you worry about it, the more you spend. When you review your spending patterns you’ll realize that it’s time to eliminate a project that’s turned out to be a huge energy drain.

Capricorn
Normally you present a calm and dignified demeanor. But this is a difficult time for you and you may be acting a little strangely right now, alternating between hiding out with the phone turned off to madly barking orders at unfortunate subordinates. You’re acting out, wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Aquarius
Mercury conjuncts Pluto in your 12th house, which represents the unconscious mind, so your thinking may not be completely rational right now. Unconscious factors are effecting your thought processes, coloring your perceptions. Don’t make any sweeping decisions until things settle down.

Pisces
You too may be party to some interesting secrets as a friend opens up, revealing some very privae information. The question is what to do with this info. You may decide to keep your thoughts to yourself while you mull things over or this could be something you need to act on immediately. Whichever approach you take, you’re playing your cards close to your chest these days, practicing your poker face. Knowledge is power and you’re sitting on a real powder keg.
