Get ready for an energy release. All the energy that you've been wisely holding inside is about to come pouring out, but not too fast. When planets that have been moving retrograde turn direct, there is a period of a few days when the planet hardly moves at all; change can be disorienting. Especially with Mars, tempers can flare just before and just after the change of direction (called the station). You'll move ahead as you realize that all the difficulties and blocks you've been experiencing while trying to create your place in the world were limitations you set up to keep your progress equal to your current abilities. Confront passive-aggressive tendencies in yourself and others; these are remnants of old behavior patterns that hide true feelings and abilities, effective only in preventing your further growth.
It's time to put energy and passion back in your activities and your relationships. This Mars Direct station also includes an opposition to Venus; passion and desire involving love and money can be undeniable and interrelated; and if a relationship isn't ready to move forward, this can be where the need to split can also become more obvious. And the Moon's conjunction with Mercury amplifies your ability to let people know how you feel and what you need. When your desire is aroused, be careful of what you do and say because it may be taken in ways you never intended, and the power to create conflict and inflict hurt with words is strong. Agreeing to cooperate can help to bridge major differences and you can bring more passion into your relationships if you can remember to sometimes accomodate your partner's needs, even if they differ from yours. Since Mars is also very close to conjuncting Pluto at its station (2 degrees, 16 minutes), there is the potential to take it too far, get too emotionally intense, and feel the life-and-death struggle inherent in any situation, especially anything involving love or money. But a crisis now can lead to permanent change.
