Mars rules Tuesday, bringing heightened tension. The Moon in Swati nakshatra makes the public touchy and easily persuaded, so watch out for convincing false arguments. World leaders should act carefully as the Sun approaches lunar node Ketu.

August 18th. This is a Tuesday. I don't like Tuesdays because they're ruled by Mars, so things are really heating up and the Sun is getting closer to Ketu. World leaders have got to be careful. Now the Moon will be in Libra the whole day today, and it will be in the nakshatra Swati, which is ruled by Rahu, which can make it even more touchy. So the public, the world, people are kind of on edge during this time, so be aware of what's going on. Now, the Moon being in Swati, remember, Swati is the nakshatra that is the most convincing in communication, so don't let people convince you of things that you know are not true.
