October 30 brings tension back into communication. Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio raises old themes, and the square to Mars makes the reaction to them especially sharp.
What's at play
An argument, an unclosed correspondence or a question that already seemed resolved may return. There's a risk of replying too fast, using harsh wording or demanding recognition that you're right.
What to watch for
At the same time the aspect is well suited to correcting a mistake, if you manage to channel the irritation into a concrete task. You can quickly see the weak point of a text, contract, strategy or argument.
How to use it best
The best use of the period is to recheck, edit and talk things through — but not to wage war with words. A pause before replying is especially useful today.
