What does this mean?

How this transit might manifest.

There is a schism that manifests between your cognitive capacity and your ability to process information that greatly diminishes your concentration. Reasoning becomes secondary, paving the way for bad choices and mental gymnastics which make you feel disconnected from your own mind. Vocabulary and other speech skills dwindle, making it hard to connect with others through conversation. Your current attitude is less than appealing, causing your natural charm to fail and opening the possibility for lackluster impressions. A shift in the status of your wealth could occur, pushing you into a small debt, it would be wise to hold onto your resources and be prepared.
