If you’ve been feeling stuck lately, the universe might bring you the courage to break out of your comfort zone this weekend. On October 29, Mars forms a square aspect with Uranus, and this can bring about all sorts of complicated feelings. Square aspects can often bring about frustrating emotions, and figuring out how to handle them is no easy task-these aspects often force us to acknowledge thoughts and feelings that have been building up inside us with no release for a long time. But if you approach this aspect with the right mindset, you can take advantage of this energy to create positive, long-term changes in your life. Here are a few effects of Mars square Uranus:
- You’ll feel the urge to break free.
Above all else, you’ll feel a bit trapped, even if you’re usually satisfied with your current situation. The idea of waking up on Monday morning to go through your usual routine for another week will feel stifling. This is a good time to take stock of what is causing these feelings-is it your career, your significant other, your friends or family? Or is it something else?
- You may feel frustrated with authority figures.
You’ll be infected with a rebellious spirit-taking orders from your boss will feel soul crushing, and even a suggestion from a coworker can get you fuming. Focus instead on areas of your life where you do have control, and try your best to stay calm and collected during other times, especially at work. You don’t want to lose out on career opportunities because you lashed out.
- You’ll need to find an outlet for your rebellious feelings.
Of course, you shouldn’t ignore these feelings completely-you’ll need to find a healthy way of dealing with them. For many, this means doing something creative, for others, it could be athletic. Either way, you can’t let these emotions build up inside you, or you’ll burst. If you don’t find a way to let them out, you won’t be able to cultivate a positive mindset.
- Take calculated risks.
You don’t need to drastically change everything in your life, but if your feelings of frustration aren’t fleeting, you definitely need to figure out a new direction. Maybe this means letting of a relationship or beginning a job search. Don’t try to completely overhaul your life overnight, but it never hurts to start looking at new horizons. Start making plans now.
- Be mindful of your interactions with others.
Your emotions might feel a little out of control under this aspect-but you’re not the only one. Remember, the universe has the potential to impact all of us in the same way, and it’s important to keep this in mind when you’re struggling to hold back any pent up anger-the person you’re about to direct it at might be feeling the same way. Don’t burn any bridges under Mars square Uranus-it will almost certainly come back to bite you. Keep in mind the golden rule-treat others as you want to be treated.
