A slippery slope gets slipperier when retrograde Mars squares Neptune for the second time on November 19th. Mars in Gemini is fond of expediency. It likes to do things quickly without a lot of concern for formalities and technicalities. If a certain vaguely questionable action lands the deal or gets the job done then what’s wrong with that? It was successful, people are happy, and no one need be the wiser. Now when a planet turns retrograde it often means traveling back over the ground just traversed. This entails revisiting a matter that was breezed over the first time. Some people take this opportunity to review their handiwork and correct any mistakes while others find themselves repeating something they said they were only going to do once. One could say that you acted hastily and without knowing all the facts the first time Mars squared Neptune on October 11th, but that won’t fly with the second square. It’s why you really need to think about whether the ends truly justifies the convenience because if it doesn’t you could wind up paying a high price for that shortcut in the long run.
