Mars at odds with natal Mercury

In detail
Transit Mars in challenging aspect to natal Mercury, twelve days under a 3-degree orb at half a degree a day. Mercury supplies the language and Mars the pressure, and a hard angle lets pressure outrun organisation, so a sentence leaves heavier than intended and judgement skips a step for speed. Tradition also flags traffic and mechanical failure here. Unlike the soft angle, the problem is not unclear thinking. It is thinking too fast.
FAQ
- How long does this sharp-tongued stretch last?
- Mars covers about half a degree a day, so a 3-degree orb gives roughly twelve days. The habit of letting drafts sit overnight has to hold across all of them.
- Why does judgement slip as well?
- A hard angle lets pressure outrun organisation, so judgement skips a step to keep pace. The failure is not unclear thinking but thinking too fast.
