You may feel both exposed and vividly alive, called to meet yourself in the mirror of others.

This transit turns up the contrast between your conscious self and the deeper currents that steer you when you’re not looking. Encounters with others can feel fated or charged, as if they’re naming the thing you’d prefer to keep quiet. You might notice reactivity around authority, tenderness around autonomy, or a sudden need to defend your storyline. Underneath the bustle is a simple pressure: what part of your identity is built to look strong rather than be strong? What do you grasp when you fear being insignificant?
Working with this energy calls for intimacy with truth, not intensity for its own sake. If you slow down, the heat becomes light: you can separate instinct from compulsion, choice from reflex, power from control. Owning your part loosens the knot; boundaries get clearer without becoming armor. In that space, you discover influence that doesn’t need to overpower—an inner authority that can meet the world without flinching or inflating.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Conversations cut to the bone; patterns of control, loyalty, and trust ask to be named plainly. Old resentments may surface so the relationship can renegotiate terms with more honesty and less performance.
Work & Purpose
Politics and power dynamics come into focus—who decides, who benefits, and what your integrity can carry. A reckoning clarifies priorities, revealing which ambitions are soul-deep and which are borrowed armor.
Inner Life & Healing
Shadow material presses forward: survival strategies, jealousy, the places you grasp when you feel small. Meeting this with curiosity turns turmoil into compost, feeding a sturdier, quieter form of confidence.

You don’t have to win to be powerful here; you only have to tell the truth you can stand by. Let the intensity name what matters, but don’t let it decide how you behave. When you feel yourself hardening, pause. Softening isn’t surrender; it’s choosing not to mistake force for strength.
There is relief in dropping the performance of invulnerability. As you own what you want—and what you fear—your presence becomes cleaner, less entangled with proving anything. What survives this pressure is real: the boundary you mean, the apology you can live with, the purpose that doesn’t need applause.
I meet power by telling the truest truth I can bear.
