Deeper Insights

This transit brings the underworld to the surface of your doorway. Old defenses, names, and styles that once kept you safe can start to feel too tight, like a skin you’ve already outgrown. You may notice a sharper edge to your instincts: a hunger to be real, to cut through pretense, to know who’s truly with you. People respond to you more strongly—some drawn to your gravity, others challenged by it—and their reactions become part of the mirror. It’s not about becoming tough; it’s about becoming true.

Working with this intensity means letting your power be rooted in integrity rather than performance. When you’re tempted to manage perception or tighten your grip, pause and listen for the deeper motive—often a younger part seeking safety. Refusing to abandon that part, while also refusing to let it drive, is the alchemy. As you align your outer presence with inner truth, influence flows more cleanly, relationships clarify, and the “mask” becomes a face you can live inside without apology.

Life Areas & Expression

Relationships & Connection

Dynamics intensify as your changed presence resets the terms of engagement. Some bonds deepen through stark honesty, while others fall away when power is unequal or pretense can’t hold.

Work & Purpose

You may feel compelled to refine your role, title, or public stance so it matches what you can stand behind. Office politics and influence come into focus, inviting you to lead without manipulation and to choose projects that matter.

Identity & Body

Shifts in appearance, posture, or style reflect an inner reordering—you might streamline, simplify, or embody a fiercer calm. The body becomes a truth-teller; regulating stress and honoring somatic signals helps the transformation land safely.

Growth & Integration

You don’t have to force a rebirth; it’s already underway. What supports you now is steadiness—rituals that anchor your nervous system, language that names what you want and don’t want, and a willingness to let silence speak where explanations used to live. When the urge to control surges, treat it as a flare from an old survival map, not a command.

Let your presence be a vow to yourself: to act from what is truer than fear, kinder than pride, and stronger than performance. The people who can meet that presence will find you; the rest will drift, and that, too, is alignment. Power used with care becomes trust in your own eyes.

As I let the false fall, my presence tells the truth.
