Signs most affected: Aries, Cancer, and Libra

Opportunities for taking action may come up as Mars makes a dynamic contact with Mercury. Use the buzzy energy to take action if inspiration strikes since it is more likely to work out. Avoid any impulsive battles of will with Mars, still in dignity in Aries, coming into harsh contact with Pluto in the early part of the week. The desire for dominance and control can be strong at this time, so stay extra vigilant against anything underhanded or lacking integrity.

Signs most affected: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

Asteroid Pallas Athena, symbolizing feminine wisdom and justice, moves from earthy Taurus to witty Gemini. Good judgment can manifest in more light-hearted forms, such as defusing a tense situation with a well-timed joke or quip. Asking questions can facilitate more informed decision-making. Although she is essentially receptive, in this sign her power can be more observable.
