Transit Mercury Opposite Natal Mars
Other people's words sound like a challenge. These days you argue with others more often, and through those arguments you see your strength and its limits.
Other people actively object, hurry you or press you with their arguments these days. You feel like answering in kind, and the talk quickly becomes a contest. A partner or rival may be testing your resilience. It is more useful to see a mirror here: someone else's sharpness shows where you are too pushy yourself. If you hold a balance between firmness and willingness to listen, the dispute leads to an honest agreement. Felt for a few days around the exact date.
