What does this mean?

How this transit might manifest.

Mental activities become challenging and you are more susceptible to the pitfalls of distraction or confusion. Translating your thoughts into the proper words requires more skill and you have a greater chance of falling prey to misunderstandings. There is a blockage in the flow of information making it harder to fully relate to others. Situations that call for nuance and complex modes of thought could be your weak point at this time. You take on a more nervous disposition or could be fatigued mentally or physically. Insignificant problems can frustrate you immensely, so do your best to remain calm and take things in moderation.
