What does this mean?

How this transit might manifest.

There is a disjuncture that arises between the operations of the mind and the desire to push forward with force, resulting in the individual becoming their own stumbling block. You lack the nuance that normally comes with exercising your mental prowess, and you fall short when trying to calculate the best option for your yourself. Verbal influence isn’t your greatest strength at this time, and you might say the wrong thing or upset others through the way you speak to them. Getting around is troublesome for you, whether it be because of your own mistakes or some kind of external force, it is best to not travel if at all possible. Being more sexually active, or at least wanting to be, is common during this transit, but you probably won’t find the companionship you seek or be upset because of the one you love.
