What does this mean?

How this transit might manifest.

The nose meets the grindstone in this cosmic melding of fire and forge, as the planet of forward momentum synthesizes with the lord of resistance itself. During this time, it is common that for every action you take there will be a counter-action that tests your mettle, putting you in a state of constant grinding. Necessity becomes paramount in life and you will find where you draw your own resolve from and how to do so better to accomplish that which may seem impossible. You will have to dawn an iron suit, making your demeanor one of stern earnestness and sober-minded vigilance. This transit is the archetype of the Sisyphean task, and this is the beginning of it, where the boulder is placed in front of you and you are commanded to push it up the hill.
