This week places you at the intersection of personal impulse and collective pressure, and it matters how you handle that friction. Mars, your ruling planet, is under strain from slower, heavier forces, suggesting that raw action without context could backfire. You may feel an urge to confront, correct, or “cut through nonsense”, particularly as global instability, political brinkmanship, and economic uncertainty bleed into everyday life via news cycles and workplace tension. Resist the reflex to charge. The astrology points instead to strategic restraint: observing power dynamics, reading the room, and understanding who actually holds leverage before you move. Saturn’s background influence rewards discipline and patience, even if that feels unnatural to you. World events this week may trigger anger or urgency, but your real task is to protect your energy and avoid becoming a proxy warrior for battles that aren’t yours. Choose actions that stabilise rather than escalate; your strength now lies in timing, not force.
