\"Learn<\/a>Calling all control freaks! (Hey, that’s me!) Well, OK, to be fair I don’t think I try to control other people, but I definitely keep pretty tight control of myself and my personal boundaries. Which is why I don’t think I’ll mind when Mars moves into Capricorn on Friday, Nov. 16.<\/p>\n

Mars is the planet of action, and Capricorn is the serious worker-bee sign, so when the two come together people tend to do more work than play.<\/p>\n

It’s not a very fun transit, but it’s great for getting things done — and I think it will also help cool down some of the intense energy we’ve been dealing with lately, thanks to both the Sun and Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio — among other cosmic events.<\/p>\n

Capricorn is practical and down to earth, and far less prone to emotional outbursts, which my life could sure use right now. I’ve been feeling on edge, and I think this transit will help me disengage from some mental turmoil, put my nose to the grindstone and work my way through it.<\/p>\n

Mars will stay in Capricorn all the way up until New Year’s Eve, when it moves into friendly, social Aquarius just in time to ring in 2013 on a more lighthearted note. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!<\/p>\n
