Transiting Mars square or opposite your natal Mars. Your energies are running high at this time and you are likely to feel very aggressive and impatient. This energy stimulates ego, drive, ambition and the desire to dominate and be in control. The problem is that you will likely run into others who feel the same way. The adage is: "There can be only one". The result is that fights, physical and otherwise are not uncommon. Contacts with the military or police can be quite unpleasant now. This can be a time of contests, but be aware that there can be an element of meanness present that goes beyond ordinary contests and it is often based on the biological need to survive. There can be a real hatred involved and hard feelings generated now are more difficult to smooth over.
