What does this mean?

How this transit might manifest.

The relentless force of your willpower comes into conflict with the obstinate need to be tolerant in the situations that you find yourself in. Diplomacy is lost to the desire to push headstrong into the direction that will gain you the advantage for winning the battle. Your way or the highway is a motto you are likely to adopt, causing issues when trying to deal with those around you and possibly building resentment if you are obliged to compromise your own self-interest. Love is a sensitive subject during this period, and relationships can be a roller-coaster of emotions or tug-of-war for dominance, whether it is externally displayed or just felt within the hearts and minds of those involved. While this transit usually causes irritability and all around friction in life, you can create a positive outlet for this built-up tension with arts and crafts that allow you to express this in a constructive manner.
