Aspects
Mars Opposition Psyche
Your urge to assert and push and your soul-sensitivity sit across from each other, and the friction often comes through others, the forceful and the wounded who pull the two ways out of you. You may steamroll your own tender depths in the name of action, or be so sensitive that you cannot assert yourself, swinging between aggression and paralysis. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your drive protect your sensitivity and your soul-depth give your action heart, so assertion and vulnerability face each other and combine into courageous, soulful drive rather than canceling out.
Lean in — Let drive protect the sensitivity and the soul give action heart.
Watch for — Steamroll your depths, or be too tender to assert at all.
