This week opens with fire and friction as Mars, your ruler, aligns tensely with Pluto, forcing long-buried ambitions and rivalries to the surface. You may feel drawn into conflict—personally or politically—but the Grand Earth Trine steadies your hand if you pause before reacting. With the Moon waxing through your opposite sign, Libra, balance and diplomacy are your greatest allies. The world’s turbulence mirrors your own; frustration can become fuel for decisive action if it’s guided rather than impulsive. Astronomically, heightened solar activity may amplify both energy and agitation, so ground yourself through physical work or nature whenever possible.
Your way through: lead without domination. Let courage express itself through patience, and you’ll discover that real strength lies in the pause before the strike.
