Despite the Mars/Pluto harshness today, there's another influence that can soften things up for you.
The Moon in Cancer is trining Mercury (at 2 degrees Scorpio) and Neptune Rx (at 4 degrees Pisces), creating a Grand Water Trine that is in effect from (roughly) 3:38 AM to 12:44 PM, EST.
Mercury in Scorpio does not shrink from speaking the uncomfortable truth and examining raw secrets. But nurturing Moon in Cancer and empathetic Neptune in Pisces will help Mercury's honesty go down easier. Words will be delivered with compassion, and emotional connections can be deepened if you're prepared to release expectations/fears of what a connection "should" or "might" be.
Grand Trines are enablers. There must be a potential connection to begin with (you can't create something out of nothing with this aspect). If there's no one to talk to, turn this energy on yourself. Take a look at your Shadow (Scorpio). You can be honest with yourself without feeling like you're being skinned alive.
Then again, if Mars/Pluto is dominating, you may just want to retreat into some self-protective thoughts. That works too.
If you have natal or progressed planets, angles or Nodes from 0 to 5 degrees of the Water signs, you'll feel this trine most strongly.
