Mars Opposition Pholus

The catalytic Pholus principle and your drive sit across from each other, so it is often someone else's action that provokes you into a release larger than the offense, or outer events that set off your force. Conflict seems to escalate around you from small sparks you did not light. You may feel goaded into avalanches, or cast as the one whose push detonates others. The resolution is to stop reacting on a hair trigger: see how your own contained force meets the provocation, choose your response rather than fire automatically, and become a conscious agent in the conflicts that erupt rather than only their fuse.
