Your feelings run deep and very strong during this
emotionally active time when mighty Mars penetrates the most personal and
private part of your life. Family affairs may become much more urgently
interesting and even physically demanding as you tackle some ambitious home
improvements. You certainly have the energy needed to take on some pretty
strenuous odd-jobs and will relish the opportunity to put your own individual
stamp on the appearance or even the structure of your abode. You're in such an
independent and supremely self-confident state the chances are you'll dispense
with any professional aid or advice simply for the pleasure of doing it all
yourself, and you're not likely to regret any such self-reliant gesture. Home
improvements that would once have taken you an age to decide on and then
implement can take place at record speed and very effective efficiency, giving
you a great source of satisfaction.
On the equally important emotional front, you want to seek
out the company of folk who arouse strong feelings, from your close kith-and-kin
to a fond friend. Even the occasional amicable argument will fill you with
delight, as you welcome the chance of a good-natured tussle or a bit of friendly
competition. Any debates that do arise shouldn't degenerate into a bitter
dispute now, for you're able to state your case without getting too acrimonious
or intransigent about it. This is an excellent time to clear up any muddles or
misunderstandings, even if it requires coming out with a few home truths. Folk
will respect your straightforward and honest approach, even if they don't
necessarily agree. When faced with a family feud or fracas, you're ideally
suited now to insist on a swift and sympathetic settlement, even if it means
putting your foot down and laying down the law. Everyone knows you have their
own best interests at heart and shouldn't resist too much.
Mars Trine Neptune.

You're such a selfless and sympathetic soul now, willing to
put your own egotistical aims to one side if it means helping someone who's down
on their luck or struggling against insuperable odds. You just can't stand by
and watch weaker folk go to the wall whilst you still have your strength and
whatever your specific creed or convictions, you're ready to act on a point of
principle, even if it means a certain amount of personal sacrifice or
inconvenience. You're easily able to overlook any challenges flung down in front
of you if they don't strike you as being honest or ethical, since it's much more
important to you to know you've done right by your own inner lights than to
simply gain the approval of folk you don't really respect. Self-esteem comes
from knowing you've lived up to your ideals as much as is humanly possible.
Although this may not be your aim, you'll set an inspiring example by your
honourable attitude.
This is also an excellent time to get involved in any
secretive, behind-the-scenes or undercover activities since you are so superbly
skillful in covering your tracks and laying a false trail to any competitors.
You're not interested in gaining a purely personal victory or boosting your own
ego, but instead want to put your impressive abilities at the service of some
more exalted purpose. Perhaps a spot of fund-raising for a local hospital, or a
little voluntary work for your local social services will fit the bill? You may
not want to commit yourself to anything so concrete, preferring to respond to
the demands made on your kindly compassion every day. Wherever you choose to
focus your efforts, you can be sure they will be appreciated and effective.
