How do you navigate situations where assertive action is required in areas where you typically exercise caution and sensitivity?

Mars in Pisces conjunct your natal Pholus, a cosmic dance that's as nuanced as a ballet in a china shop. Mars, the planet that usually crashes through walls, is tip-toeing in the dreamy waters of Pisces, while whispering sweet nothings to Pholus, the centaur who's known for a small cause leading to a big effect. You might find yourself feeling a bit like a knight on a quest, but instead of a sword, you're armed with a feather. It's an odd mix of wanting to take action while also wanting to tuck those actions in a cozy blanket of caution.

During this transit, your usual go-to strategy of 'proceed with caution' might feel a bit like trying to swim with floaties in a storm. Mars is egging you on to take action, but Pholus is there, reminding you that one small step could lead to a tidal wave. In navigating these waters, think of yourself as a strategic gamer in the chess match of life. You'll need to balance the bold moves of your inner Mars with the 'Think before you leap' mantra that Pholus is chanting in your ear.

And when you're faced with a situation that requires you to flex your assertive muscles, remember it's like doing yoga in a room full of napping kittens-yes, you want to stretch and grow, but you also don't want to disturb the peace. Find that inner resolve, take a deep breath, and imagine channeling a smooth-talking secret agent. You'll need to muster the finesse to navigate these situations with the grace of a ballerina and the precision of a sniper-minus the actual sniping, of course.

Just remember, every action has a reaction, a concept Pholus knows all too well. So as you tiptoe through the tulips of assertiveness, make sure you're wearing your metaphorical non-slip shoes. Mars might be ready for a sprint, but sometimes the best victories come from a well-timed, gentle jog. So jog on, thoughtful warrior, jog on.
