We’ve all heard of the expression “between a rock and a hard place,” and on Friday, September 8, 2023, three zodiac signs will learn firsthand what that means. We’re dealing with the idea that we’re very determined to do something. We are extremely ambitious and genuinely believe that we can achieve anything we want, which is all very great in theory, right? True, until we encounter a reality that doesn’t want us to pass “Go”. Today, during the transit from the Moon to square Mars, we will want to fight a battle that we cannot win, even if our intentions are pure positive light. That’s why things can be difficult for Gemini, Leo and Libra today.
Since our intentions are good, we can’t help but feel that we are on the right path and that when we are so full of energy and positivity, we can possibly do something wrong. This is where “real life” comes in to teach us the lesson we didn’t feel like learning. We’re stuck in a bind today, and that essentially means we’re caught between our passionate drive and a very real situation that won’t let us move forward. If you ask me, that sounds like a whole lot of “life.” Good old life and its cosmic tricks, right?
During Moon square Mars, we don’t take it lightly when we’re either rejected or put off – that’s why this day can feel really unsettling. How could we make such a mistake? If our intentions were so good and our energy was so on point, how the hell did we get so bad? Well, Mars square energy is fickle; We may want the best, but on a day like today we may think that sometimes we just don’t get what we want. “Some days the bear eats you. Some days you eat the bear.” Guess what’s happening today?
Three zodiac signs might feel stuck on September 8, 2023:
1. Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
For all your enthusiasm, you feel like today should go smoothly and according to plan, and with Moon square Mars in the sky, you might see a different outcome than you expected. On September 8, 2023, you will feel the distinct feeling that you are “fully dressed and unable to go anywhere.”
It’s like you’ve had this day on your mind for weeks, and now that it’s time to go, not only are you ready, willing, and able, you’re wondering why the hell nothing is happening. Hello? Is anyone out there? The thought that your best efforts that you will make on Friday will go unnoticed really bothers you, because why? Why are you being ignored? You’ve created a situation that you think is perfect for getting going and getting things done, and yet life seems to have a different plan in store for you. Ack! Moon square Mars, you’ve done it again!
2. Leo
(July 23rd – August 22nd)
Today might feel like pure anger to you, Leo. When you started your ambitious endeavors, you certainly didn’t think about frustration, but when you look around, it’s like everything in existence is getting in your way and you just don’t understand it.
As the Moon squares Mars on September 8, 2023, you’ll wonder how all your best laid plans took such a wrong turn, knowing you didn’t design it this way. You have dedicated this day to achieving something.
You did your due diligence and tried to get everything in order before you started. Now that you’ve started, you can’t get past the gate, which makes you angry. Events square Mars will not do well with your personality, and when the Moon is square Mars you will feel it all the more and feel defeated. You won’t have anything to do with defeat. You will turn into anger because you feel like you can at least control anger.
3. Libra
(September 23rd – October 22nd)
The only thing that really makes you angry is when you feel like you’ve given yourself false hope. On September 8, 2023, you will feel exactly that. It’s like you’ve built up this great expectation for yourself, and for some reason, aka the Moon square Mars, you can’t get past “Go” today. What’s really burning you, though, isn’t so much the idea that you’re stuck; There’s no good reason why you shouldn’t do it.
