Mars Mercury Opposing Saturn
“I don’t need a plumber. You’re that clever shark, aren’t you?”
“…Candygram.”
–Saturday Night Live Landshark Skit
Mars and Mercury are conjunct today square my Capricorn (Saturn flavored) moon. They also oppose retrograde, transiting Saturn. I find myself in the position of having to make decisions about whether or not to communicate with people. I’m asking (Mercury) myself (moon) what is the right thing to do (Mars)?
With both Mercury and Saturn retrograde these situations are revisiting decisions and communications I’ve already made but are popping back up. With Mars Mercury aspecting my moon I’m feeling the urge to make snap decisions. Saturn in the mix is slowing me down, hopefully to the effect of making GOOD decisions. Yes, good decisions, please.
Where does this opposition hit your chart? How are your communications going today?

Well, they are hitting my natal Venus at 16 degrees Aries and it seems very high-energy to say the least? I do feel very curt in my thoughts and interactions.
mars rules muscles? I have a muscle in my thigh that has been spasming since yesterday. It’s making my kneecap get clicky. Or the other way around.
Opposition in 7th house. I just fired off a series of blunt emails to an author who is wasting my time with his refusal to approve necessary edits. I’m cancelling our contract to publish his book next spring. Good riddance.
Merc/mars are in my 10th, forming an exact sextile to my natal saturn, so definitely responsible communicating and actions, today. Also 1degree opposition to my 4th house uranus, so tr. saturn is 2degrees from, it’s wrapped up in all this though I don’t have a good grasp on exactly how yet. They’re also 4degrees from my natal chiron.

– revisiting decisions and communications I’ve already made
HA, HA, HA … Today I had lunch with a women whom I ‘broke up with’ over a year ago 
I got an emial purporting to be from a guy I’ve known a long time and whom I have been advising to update this system – he’s still using AOL and dialup believe it or not. Except he’;s not because AOL have blocked him due the spam which it seems his emails are churning out! – and his laptop has been out of action for a fortnight, it appears…
Anyway, I got this email today addressed to me and to three or four other people we know. It seemed to be one of those circular joke things, and I clicked on the attachment – mistake! A ‘critical security alert’ flashed up and I’ve spent the entire evening getting rid of trojans etc…
I sent him a pretty cross text, and then was very short when he phoned and started telling me what a terrible time he’s been having with his system – which I’ve spent the last three years advising him to change, since this clusterf*ck of consequences was very predictable, otherwise.
So Mars/Merc opp Saturn got added to the Merc Rx effect!! I haven’t seen or spoken to him for ages, but I was in no mood for small talk 
Merc mars lodged between sun at 11, venus and merc 15 in my tenth house. Communications are great. Record weekday at my shop today, we sold tonns of shoes!!yay!! About 7500 dollars, witch is amazing!! Only I have had minor weird to day. Went to sunbed salon, lost 5 dollars to the cream machine ,no cream,then lost 4 dollars on the sunbed coin slip, it got stuck, found an ipod, called the service phone,they reg my nr and told me to take it home with me. Got home managed to block my phone ,wrong pin,witch is superweird. And cut my self with sicssors in a really odd place.
Same as Anna, different context. And yes, it’s loaded but not lit. Kept telling myself: hold your horses! Well now we know how elsa gets so much done.
Like Caroline, they are hitting my natal Venus in Aries. I’ve been doing my best to not communicate with anyone today. I’ve got no patience and feel like putting a big ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on my door/email/phone/etc.
Mercury/Mars is opposing my natal Pluto in my 6th house. I am struggling (Mars)with a professor (Mercury)who is creating more work for us than is necessary in an already incredibly difficult course (Pluto in 6th). This is extremely difficult for me; so much so that it took everything I had not to drop the course.
It squared my saturn… someone deleted me for no reason on fb, I asked why, but then didn’t wait to hear back and blocked her. I had a health reading, which we’ll have to wait and see re: results.
T. Saturn is also square my Saturn.
I love the Landshark, “Bulette”
Where does this opposition hit your chart? How are your communications going today?
Well This was a problem but hopefully with Mercury turning Direct this will start to fix itself. I was having problems with my schedule and getting my point across to someone willing to listen and that might be in the right place to do something for the time I need fixed.
Today I was able to contact two such people. fingers crossed
