If people at work have seemed short-tempered this week, Friday is when it comes to a head. Mercury, still retrograde, sits at 18 degrees Scorpio and forms a square with Mars at 18 degrees Leo. The contact is exact at about 10:50 pm IST, though the build-up shows during office hours, often in replies that sound ruder than intended.
How to Navigate Today’s Energy
This pairing turns ordinary discussions into a test of who backs down first. With Mercury moving backwards, a chat about next week’s deadline can end with someone raising a mistake from three months ago.The simplest protection is time. Save that reply in drafts and look at it again on Saturday. If a client presses on price, say you will confirm by Monday.The Moon moves into Cancer at around 7:40 am, and its square to Neptune at 11:05 am can leave instructions unclear before lunch. Things settle at 7:25 pm with a soothing Moon-Sun trine. Close to 11 pm, though, the Moon squares Saturn while Mercury and Mars reach their exact angle. Skip any argument about household bills at that hour.
