This guy is a walking community service announcement for the back end of this particular eclipse season and we all have Uncle Mars to thank for this. Our planet of Get Shit Done can fast turn into a war mongering trail of destruction when engaged the wrong way.

Tomorrow night is the opposition of Mars, a celestial event that happens every two or so years when the red planet lines up with the sun and we on planet Earth are sandwiched in between.

What does this mean to us here on Earth? Mars is the masculine planet of action that rules both Aries and Scorpio. Mars can symbolise passion, drive, ambition, competition and war. Fiery, full blooded energy is the red planet's natural state. In ancient times, Mars was said to rule our sexuality and sexual energy and governs weapons, accidents and surgery. Currently Mars is retrograde which in astrology basically means don't start a fight and be wary of your enemies. Disregard any or all of the above at your own peril.
