Tuesday is the day of Mars, and in astrology Mars is the planet of action, of the power to start something, to push forward and to say "no" when needed. The Moon is in Leo with 28 percent light, an old moon, and that is a small amount of fuel for a big leap, so Mars today works best in short and precise efforts. The Sun is in Libra and tries not to spoil relations with anyone, so the whole day revolves around one pull: whether to get things done yourself and quickly, or to accommodate other people. For each sign this pull falls on a different spot, so let's read sign by sign.

The Sky Today

Mars and the fire Moon sign get along well, but at 28 percent light the Moon in Leo wants an audience, and there is no strength left for a performance. Leo is ruled by the Sun, and it is now in Libra, in the sign of Venus, so today recognition is earned with a kind word and finished work, not with a raised voice. The last quarter has already passed, and in this part of the cycle tradition points toward letting go of the unnecessary and closing old matters, not toward new beginnings. The tasks that go easiest are the ones you can finish on your own, without waiting for approval from three people.

Horoscope by Zodiac Sign

♈ Aries

Mars is your ruler and today gives you a clear head for work, but no patience at all for waiting. The first thing you take on before noon will go best, after that your strength drops and irritability sets in. Be careful with the colleague who delays a reply, because one sharp message now will cost you three days of cleaning up afterward. Put the heaviest task in front and close it before you even open your inbox.

♉ Taurus

Money is where Tuesday questions you most insistently. The Moon in Leo pulls you toward nice but unnecessary purchases, while the old moon is exactly the opposite time, suited for settling old accounts. Review what is automatically charged from your card every month and stop at least one thing you don't use. Leave the big purchase for after the middle of the month.

♊ Gemini

Today your work lies in words, calls, and arrangements. Mars makes the tongue fast, sometimes faster than thought, and that is where unnecessary promises come from. Before the conversation, write three lines about what you want to get out of it, and don't stray from them. If someone asks for a second explanation, give it calmly, so you can understand each other fully.

♋ Cancer

Home pulls at you more than work does, and resistance is pointless. Mars gives you the strength for a small repair you've been putting off for months: a leaking tap, a door that sticks, a shelf missing a screw. Choose one of these things and finish it completely, leave the rest for another day. If a loved one speaks louder than usual, it's not against you — this Moon makes tones sharper.

♌ Leo

The Moon is in your sign, but it shines at only 28 percent, hence the strange feeling of wanting attention while having no strength for it. If someone fails to appreciate what you've done, today it hurts more than usual, so don't measure your worth by other people's words. Mars loves movement, so release the tension through the body: half an hour of brisk walking after work accomplishes more than three arguments. Go lighter with food, the stomach doesn't like heavy and late meals today.

♍ Virgo

Small unfinished things weigh more today than the big task. The Mars day gives you energy exactly for clearing up, not for starting anew, and that's good news for every open file and unsent document. Pick three pending matters and close them instead of starting a fourth. The evening won't be peaceful if you've left a call for tomorrow — make it today.

♎ Libra

The Sun is in your sign and gives you visibility, but Mars demands a decision, while you keep looking for a way to please everyone. In love this means one thing: ask directly for what you want for the evening, without wrapping it in three polite sentences. Your partner is not a mind reader, and today silent hoping will end in a small hurt. If you're single, go where people are — this phase is good for meeting old acquaintances.

♏ Scorpio

Mars also rules your sign, and today it gives you a sense of where the weak point of any deal lies. A good day to arrange a refund, a deferral, or clearer loan terms. Speak in specific numbers and dates, because vague promises will later turn against you. Don't get drawn into a sports-related argument, your strength today is enough for one thing — use it for money.

♐ Sagittarius

The fire Moon suits your temperament, so you wake up wanting to be somewhere else. Mars gives strength for travel, but the old moon is better for preparation than for departure. Sign up for the course, pull out the documents, or check the tickets, but set the actual departure for a later date. Don't argue with a relative who lectures you — today you have no reason to win that conversation.

♑ Capricorn

Today in work, what matters more is what's done than what's said about it. A conversation about promotion or credit is better postponed, this Moon makes such topics prouder and heavier than they should be. Send a short report on what's been accomplished over the last two weeks and stop there, let the numbers speak. If you have a choice between two tasks, take the one that brings results this very week.

♒ Aquarius

People around you today need you more than you need them. Someone will ask for a favor that will quietly eat up your whole afternoon, so say exactly when you can help instead of promising vaguely. If you have a joint account or shared money with friends, settle it today, unclear money between close people quickly turns cold. Save the evening for one thing of your own choosing, without consulting five people about it.

♓ Pisces

Your sleep in this phase is lighter, and the afternoon hour will feel like a wall. Twenty minutes in a dark room with closed eyes restores more strength than a third coffee. Don't take on a new task after five o'clock, today your sense of time is weaker than usual. If someone pulls you into someone else's drama, listen, but don't take their decision upon yourself.

A Mars day under a weak moon works in short stretches: forty minutes of work and ten minutes of rest accomplish more than a whole afternoon of stubbornness.
