All right, so Sun-Mars aspects increase our initiative and our drive, and they have us, uh, approaching confrontations, um, in ways that we normally would not. And they can really push ahead because we really grow up hair when we have a transit from Sun to Mars or from Mars to Sun. We get very bold. Uh, so how we handle that boldness and what we do with it, um, and we handle ego—that is the question. That's what we have to watch out for when we have Sun-Mars transits because we can run the risk of being obnoxious or of overreactive. Look at the conjunction I had just recently, and I greatly appreciated it. Uh, this is when we begin our new cycle of, uh, going out into the world and actively getting what we want, how we project ourselves out into the world, uh, how we act on our passions. And it is a high ego transit. We want to be recognized. We are spoiling for some kind of fight, but it doesn't mean it has to be destructive. Many times, um, the fights that we are getting into further our own needs. So, confrontations—these can be very necessary confrontations. Uh, we do have to be careful about what we are reacting to. If we are reacting to things just because we're offended, are we taking a personal? That's when we really don't start off on the right foot when it comes to this particular cycle.
So, uh, we need to do something when we have this particular transit. I myself spent the whole day raking. I had so much energy that three days I red and R and red and red and burned and red. We have to do something. If we sit, we just kind of stand, we get mad, and we start snapping at people. Nobody likes us. We really need to mobilize ourselves. We need to get something done, and we can be very effective. We are looking for something that is strenuous, it's something that takes something out of us. And if you see this one coming, be prepared to, uh, push yourself a little bit physically. It's so much better if we do that than, uh, be physically lazy and then use that Martian energy as anger or as backbiting or as, um, just being a jerk. So, the more that we are getting our, our red out through, um, really brute, uh, physical exertion, the better. This is not a brains-filled transit. This is not something that is going to increase our intelligence. It increases our strength and our muscle and our EGO power. So, um, if we are acting on the correct impulses, we can actually be very effective during this time. We can and further our own personal agenda without causing harm to ourselves or others.
If you already have a Sun-Mars aspect in your chart, a difficult one, this can be a particularly difficult transit because we're already prone to taking things a bit personally and, and, uh, can be a bit reactive and sometimes easily offended. And so, when the Sun comes to town, it can definitely increase the likelihood that we'll feel like people are stepping on our toes. So, put this one on the calendar because you can cause yourself to get into a little bit of trouble, um, on this particular week and watching it.
So, that takes us to the sextile, because these are not complex transits, honestly. I mean, we're talking about muscle and reactivity. Um, we work well with others because it's a sextile, and it's good for us to expend our energy in cooperation with others. We could be really effective and get things done. We are not so prone to being jerky or active with the sextile. We actually handle ourselves pretty well, but we do want to work in concert with others. We are driven to expend energy in a way that is cooperative because we see that that is, uh, working towards our successful Personal Agenda. And we're looking at Personal Agenda; things are very personal when we have Sun-Mars transits. Um, so we're looking to see, how can I build with others or cooperate with others in a way that makes me happy, that gets me what I want? So, it is a selfish end, but we are not acting in a selfish way to meet that end. And we may even see, it's very likely that we'll see that our end, you know, that kind of works for other people too. And, um, that's why other people want to get on board.
This is also a very good day to enroll others in a passionate personal project that we want to get off the ground, to inspire others, to bring others into it, to use our assertive energy to ask others to get on board with this thing that we've got going on. Uh, other people want to help us on this day, and, uh, this is a very, very good day to help others, and then they pay us back with their help. It's a good day for exchange. Reminds me of the chapter in Little House in the Prairie where they moved to the prairie in, um, and there was only one neighbor on the entire prairie, and he came over and he helped the father did the well, and father went over and I finish his roof. This is a perfect example of a sextile transit where we say, "Hey, you know what? It's going to take something out of me now. I am going to have to expend some energy, but I see that I'm going to be getting back exactly what I'm putting out." Win-win for me. Very good transit to have, although it is quiet.
So, that brings us to the square, where we need to watch out. Am I having this one tomorrow when I have a house full of company and we're all of different opinions? No, it won't be a big deal. I'm having this one tomorrow. Um, so this is when our, our personal ego energies do run high. We can take things personally, and I will certainly not be getting into any conversations that I think might get out of hand, uh, because we can get hot under the collar about things that we normally wouldn't, and we're very reactive when we have this Square. Um, we are not terribly cooperative, and we can't have a lot going on, hence what's going on with me today. Um, we really need to be careful what conflicts we pick up because we don't win them very easily, um, or not very likely under the square because we're not thinking. And if we have a natal Sun-Mars aspect and then this happens, this is absolutely going to increase the heat and the, the rashness which we strike. We can actually make some pretty bad mistakes on the days when we have the square because we're just not thinking, and we can say some things that we should not have said. Um, we think that we need to confront others, and as sometimes we will, sometimes we will need to do that at the square. Most of the time, we need to think instead of react. It's hard to do, uh, when we have this, but if we can control ourselves, it really pays dividends.
So, um, we need to do something with the square. We need to move. We need to move our body. We need to move that Martian energy. If we can find a way to have sex with somebody, if somebody's available, please do it under the square because it does relieve an enormous amount of tension, and we are much more likely to have success in the bedroom, um, if we're applying our energy that way. The conjunction as well, square, the opposition is well. Opposition, if somebody will have us, because generally we're not terribly agreeable. But, but, you know, under the conjunction and the square, we can probably talk somebody into doing it with us. So, if you have somebody around, it is a very good time to expend physical energy, expend sexual energy. And we aren't, again, we aren't the most agreeable, so we may have to finesse it a little bit if we are going to be somebody to do it with us, right? We have to be agreeable enough to, to have somebody want to be around us. But if we can fix that, if we're patient enough, and because we can be insistent, it can be one of those times, well, no, it's, you said no last time, or, ah, you know, we don't want to pester whoever it is that we're with. We can pester. Um, it, it's not the best time to work with others, uh, if we're, we're resing a lot of the people around us as well, and we can, you know, raise some hackles. So, we're going to see the consequences of that when have the opposition. And, um, you know, honestly, if you can just stay home and do strenuous activity and not bother anybody when you have the square, that's probably the best thing for most of us. Um, we'll see happens to you next week, what, what happened around here. Um, it, it'll probably be okay, but most of us, um, if we do not find an outlet, an appropriate outlet, something upsetting usually happens, sometimes to accident. That's not unusual. Um, if we're not giving expression to our irritation, then we can cut ourself. Mars is cutting, blood, cutting instruments. You get into more simple accidents, not like a car accident or something, but like, you know, we might smash our thumb and our F might fall off or, um, you know, we can, you know, sewing and having a sewing accident or something. Um, so we just have to be very careful that we are acting out anger. Do not think that you're going to get away with sitting around at work on a day like this, and there just generally will be more going on anyway that you will have to put your energy into, which is a saving this.
All right, so let's, oh, oh, oh, the anger from others. That's one thing we can expect, irritation from others, and how we respond to that is going to make a big difference. We want to take a few deep breaths because we, we do want to respond right away with the square. We are ready to tell other people exactly where they can go. It does not work well for us.
So, that brings us to the trine. This is a really good transit. This is a day, or about three days or so, or we could say the whole week. Hey, Millow, we're talking about transits today, Sun transits to Mars. Um, so this is a, where you hopped into transits class. This isn't live group chat, you hopped into transits, it says here. Um, we are assertive and we are selfish, as we are with other Sun-Mars transits when we have a trine, but we aren't troublemakers. We, we actually don't even need to, uh, pull our efforts with others at the trine. We really should do that at the sextile, but at the trine, it's okay to be selfish. It's okay to be all about us that day because we aren't projecting our ego in such a way where we find any opposition or any conflict. Um, you know, we just kind of understand that we need to put our focus and our energy into doing our own thing, and, um, nobody really gives us a hard time. It's not an isolating transit, it's not that we're alone. Uh, we just don't feel that we need the aid of other people. It is a good time, though, if we do need to reach out, if there's something that we do need to do that's cooperative or communal. We have ample energy to do that. We are not, that's not the first thing that happens with this transit. It does tend to be more self-focused, but there can be those times where we, uh, we need to contribute, and, and that's easy to do under this trine. Uh, we do need to assert ourselves, though, but, you know, more in our own domain. It is a day where we're going to have ample energy, so doing physical things. It is kind of a romantic transit as well. It is one where we may feel stimulated to, um, it's not something where relationships were form. It's, it, we're not climbing the walls, but we are kind of warm, and we want to share that, that, you know, that Martian energy with somebody in a more special, romantic way. Also, you know, we may plan something or enjoy somebody's company that evening, but it is a quieter transit that will help us to mobilize our energy, usually to do something that we enjoy, not something that we have to do, something that we choose to do.
Alrighty, so that takes us to the opposition. And this is actually where we may have some things that we've been working on, either that year or even for a number of years, come to a peak. This can be a culminating transit where we have things that we've been putting our energy into, uh, coming to a head. It's not the way it will be every year that we have this, but to, but at the very least, we have what has been occurring since the conjunction of the Sun to Mars coming to a head with the opposition of Sun to Mars. So, it can be something that just signals a yearly peak, but sometimes you will see it as the timer for something that has been more of a, a long-term building thing. So, uh, we need to be careful how we are reacting with the opposition. It is a very confrontational day. If we are acting in way where we're defending ourself needlessly, this is where people don't like us very much. We can get some very negative, uh, reactions, uh, mirrored back to us. So, we need to be careful, um, who we're interacting with and how we are interacting with people. Um, we are very competitive on this particular day, and, uh, we need to ask ourselves if, if we're really justified in who we trying to beat or who we're trying to beat up, because many times we are just acting out of ego. And when we stop and look at it, we realize that, "Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, I am wasting a massive amount of energy trying to defend myself against something or confront somebody or push up against something, but they, it's actually not really important to me." Have you ever had those instances? I have, with my exaggerated Mars. I've had those instances where my ego has been, you know, in combat, and I pull back and I'm like, "Wait, wait a minute, what am I doing? I could be eating ice cream or swimming or planting something, and I'm wasting my energy, uh, being a doof." So, that's what we think when we have this opposition, and, and we come up against somebody. Often times, we actually fall back from that if we're smart because we realize that, "Oh my God, this isn't worth it, you know, digging in and all this energy is competation, it's not worth it." There can be those times when we have this opposition that it is worth it. This is where you need to use your discernment. See, we want to react to everything with this, but there can be those certain people and there certain situations, and I have this opposition leg, what the consequences are, be, and if it's something that's really worth it to you, is it really important? If it is, that's what the, uh, that's where this opposition shines. We can be really effective. We can kick ass. We really need to. If we don't need to, we can find our own ass getting kicked. It can be a humiliating day if we're making the wrong decisions. It, it, it can, we can embarrass ourselves because it could be one of those situations where we're like, you know, all a Kimbo, and we're like, "I am so justified in this!" when someone points something out to us, and we're like, "Like, oh, damn, we got me!" So, we can go from feeling very, very big to very, very humil within the space of minutes if we're not very, very careful. So, uh, again, if you have a Sun-Mars aspect in your chart already, and then this one comes to town, um, it's going to set off and already very reactive and potentially easily offended little doad you got going on in your chart there. So, you have to be careful about the volume with which you react. And, um, so it's a very good idea to perhaps, you know, not even be around a lot of people with this particular opposition. This might be a good day to row out to an island and, you know, use that energy rowing, um, it, unless we really do need to confront something or push something forward. Because, I mean, really, I've seen so many people, including myself, just make really bad mistakes, like stupid mistakes, um, on this day, which it was just kind of a, just kind of a meat head.
