What does this mean?

How this transit might manifest.

Communications and social interactions are at a peak and it may become a point of stress for you during this time period. Discussions involving topics that are hard for you to rationalize or generally what is considered ‘bad news’ may arise, be ready to deal with them. The stress upon your mind may lead to you becoming irritable, inflexible, and even arrogant, possibly causing simple conversation to turn into arguments and disagreements. It is best to listen and be patient allowing yourself to gather information and advice even if you do not want to hear it. You could also find yourself busier than usual, remember to remain calm and do your best to not allow nervousness or anxiety overtake you.
