Mars' motion is one of the most dynamic reflectors of energy trends and releases in the collective consciousness. It is in Leo, a fire sign, and a place it likes and feels able to express in, but as it comes to the end of Leo at the end of this month it finishes up a strong forward movement with a loss of direction by opposing fuzzy and deceptive Neptune. At this time, there's a loss of clarity in the collective mind which undermines some progress made. This may manifest as people trying to take action, and then becoming unsure of their motivation. For about a week this continues, but by Nov 08 or so, the fog will lift a bit, and show the areas where details were overlooked, where systems were not allowed to move smoothly because of overriding egos. Good chance to clear this up before it creates a problem.
