On August 24, the Mercury-Mars sextile comes to activate dynamic influences, especially for those belonging to the third decanate of the zodiac, specifically degrees 22 to 25. This aspect offers the opportunity to harness Mars' energy and Mercury's communication skills to advance your plans. Reconnections are also possible, as the communication planet is still retrograde. Below, we break down how it will affect each of these signs.
Leo (Third Decade)
The influence of the Mercury-Mars sextile brings new opportunities for communication and dialogue, which can enhance your personal relationships and your career. You are more persuasive than ever, with this sextile giving you fluency, confidence and speed in decision-making. You make new partnerships or step forward in any area of interest, promoting your plans and ideas in a way that will impress.
Be careful, however, of your tendency to overconfidence, which can lead to arrogance or aggressive behaviour. If you take advantage of the positive influences of the aspect, you can get far without clashing with those around you.
Gemini (Third Decade)
For Gemini in the third decanate, the energy of Mercury and Mars enhances dialogue and social life. You feel more comfortable expressing and promoting your views, and your ideas prove to be innovative and find fertile ground to develop. Whether in your professional or social circle, this aspect will bring you favour in discussions, negotiations and new agreements.
Use this energy to resolve outstanding issues, start new activities or even take initiatives concerning your education. Don't be afraid to take a few too many risks, as Mars' influence makes you feel more courageous and dynamic than ever.
Aquarius (Third Decade)
This transit will bring intense activity in your social and professional field. Mercury sextile Mars will help you communicate your views in a clear and direct way, allowing you to inspire and guide those around you. You feel it's the right time to take the wheel and take a leadership role in team activities or projects.
However, you become a little impatient or reckless. Pick your battles and make sure you remain open to the opinions of others, because this aspect calls for you to take advantage of opportunities to work with others to achieve your goals.
Sagittarius (Third Decade)
This aspect positively influences your desire to initiate something creative. The combination of Mercury's mental flexibility with Mars' action and strength gives you the impetus to pursue new goals with passion and determination. Your appetite for learning and new experiences is heightened, and it is possible that new paths may open up in travel, education or professional ventures related to foreign countries.
The discussions and negotiations you will have these days will be particularly productive, and if you have an important step to take on a personal or professional level, this is the ideal time to initiate it. Just be careful not to get carried away by your over-confidence and become impulsive, as this aspect can push you to make hasty moves.
