Moon square Mars

The Moon square Mars aspect is often associated with impulsive emotions, strong desires, and a tendency toward frustration. Many astrologers believe this aspect creates a push-and-pull between emotions and actions, making individuals prone to reacting quickly, sometimes aggressively, to emotional triggers. However, because squares demand growth, some suggest that this aspect can also foster emotional strength and courage when properly managed.
In a birth chart, this aspect is commonly linked to an intense and passionate emotional nature. Some believe these individuals experience strong urges and may struggle with controlling anger or impatience. Their greatest growth comes from learning to respond to emotions constructively rather than reacting impulsively.
When the Moon and Mars form a square in the sky, it is thought to be a time of heightened emotions and possible conflicts. Many astrologers suggest this is a great period for channeling energy into productive outlets, though some caution against impulsive decisions or letting emotions drive confrontations.
Moon is currently at 4° in the zodiac sign of Aquarius and Mars is currently at 18° in the sign of Aquarius.
