This transit warms the tender places without scorching them. Mars brings heat and momentum; Psyche listens for the soul’s pulse. You may notice an urge to move toward what you usually tiptoe around—conversations, memories, or desires that feel fragile but important. The body wants to act, and the heart wants to be considered, and for once they don’t feel like separate requests.
The opportunity here is clean bravery: not forceful, not avoidant, but precise. When will serves what is tender, boundaries clarify rather than harden, and desire becomes meaningful rather than demanding. Small, sincere steps—naming a feeling, taking protective action, offering a steady presence—carry outsized impact. You learn that strength and softness are not opposites; they are two hands carrying the same truth.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Honesty lands more gracefully, and it’s easier to match directness with care. Repair conversations, protective gestures, and embodied affection feel natural and well-timed.
Work & Purpose
Motivation focuses on projects with heart, where impact matters as much as outcome. Advocacy, mentorship, and conflict resolution benefit from steady initiative and emotional intelligence.
Healing & Self-Discovery
Therapeutic or reflective work gains traction when paired with simple action—routines that respect your nervous system. You can approach old triggers with new courage, moving at a pace that builds trust.

Let your actions be sized to the moment. You don’t have to prove your strength; you can let it show through consistency, tenderness, and a willingness to stay present when feelings get bright. Aim for motions that keep you connected to yourself before, during, and after you move.
When uncertainty arises, ask your energy what it is serving. If the answer is protection, love, or meaning, you’re aligned; if it’s proving, winning, or numbing, pause and recalibrate. In doing so, you discover a steadier kind of courage—the kind that keeps intimacy, integrity, and desire in the same room.
My strength arrives as gentleness.
