Things feel unpredictable, a little electrified, and sometimes like you can’t quite control your own reactions.

Challenges during this transit

• Short fuse: Your temper’s closer to the surface. You might find yourself snapping or getting into disagreements you wouldn’t normally care about- at home, work, or even just standing in line.
• Impulsive actions: Suddenly quitting a job, ending a friendship, making a big purchase you haven’t thought through- it’s way easier under this energy.
• Accidents happen: Because you’re moving faster, or maybe not paying full attention, minor accidents can happen- banging your knee, cutting yourself cooking, dropping your phone.
• Restlessness: It’s tough to sit still. Focusing is hard, and you might feel like you’re “supposed” to be doing something, but you can’t figure out what exactly.

• Building real courage: There’s bravery here. You might finally stand up for yourself or someone else. Sometimes that leads to positive change, even if it starts as a conflict.
• Releasing old anger: Stuff you’ve held onto can come out- maybe not in the prettiest way, but sometimes that’s what you need to heal or move on.
• Physical vitality: You can get a surge of energy, so it’s an awesome time for sports or starting a new workout- just warm up and go slow at first so you don’t get hurt!
