♒ Aquarius, today Friday, October 30

Think before you respond

Aquarius, this Friday, October 30, the square between Mercury and Mars can make your conversations faster and more abrupt. A brief message might seem offensive to you, or your own words could sound harsher than you intended. If you receive something that irritates you, wait ten minutes and reread it before replying.

The same tension may appear when talking to a coworker, a client, or someone in your family. You may want to correct a piece of information right away, but a hastily written response can start an unnecessary argument. Point out the specific fact, avoid capital letters, and leave out any comments about the other person's attitude.

Do not argue while doing something else

You could have a minor argument over a silly thing while cooking, driving, or trying to finish a task. If you notice that both of you are raising your voices, stop the conversation and suggest resuming it after eating or when you've finished what you're doing. Continuing to talk without attention will make a minor issue last longer.

It may also happen that someone interrupts you several times to ask for an immediate opinion. Instead of responding with sarcasm, tell them how long it will take you to be free and ask them to explain it then. That pause will allow you to hear the whole question and not attack an incomplete version of the problem.

Take care of your body during the day

The tension of the day may make you spend hours in front of a screen without drinking water or getting up. If you are drinking a soda just out of habit, alternate today with a glass of water before continuing. This simple measure can prevent tiredness from worsening your impatience at the end of the afternoon.

If you have been moving little for several days, go for a twenty or thirty minute walk today, even if it's just around nearby streets. You don't need to turn it into a workout or look for a special route. A walk after work can help you arrive home with less desire to answer rudely about any detail.

Keep important receipts

Between calls, notices, and last-minute changes, you could leave an invoice or a receipt on any surface and forget it. If you need to keep an important one, put it today in a specific folder or take a photograph of it with the name and date. Finding it in several weeks will be much easier if it doesn't depend on your memory.

Also check if you have to send any document before a process closes. The square between Mercury and Mars favors mistakes caused by haste, such as attaching the wrong file or typing a number incorrectly. Open the document one last time before pressing the send button.

End the day without prolonging the anger

If you argued over a silly thing, don't drag the anger out all day just out of pride. You can say that the way you spoke was not good and propose to settle the matter with a clear phrase, without bringing up previous disagreements. A brief gesture will be more useful than pretending normality while you keep making indirect comments.

When night comes, decide on one thing you really want to do instead of wasting hours choosing. Preparing a simple dinner, watching an episode, or going out for a drink nearby may be enough to change the pace. Avoid filling that time with pending messages, because the day will have been more manageable if you end with a specific and peaceful activity.
