Aspects
Mars Square Sedna
Your assertiveness and the Sedna principle keep colliding, so old betrayal freezes your drive or erupts as cold, displaced rage, and you may swing between icy withdrawal and a fury that surprises you. You might be unable to fight for yourself, then act out the buried anger sideways, or brace so hard for survival you cannot risk warmth or action. Drive and the old wound get crossed, so the very force meant to protect you stays frozen or misfires. This square does not want either ice or eruption, it wants action: to thaw the old anger and let it move cleanly, to assert yourself from strength rather than frozen hurt, until drive and the wound stop grinding.
Lean in — Thaw the old anger and let it move cleanly, asserting from strength.
Watch for — Swing between icy withdrawal and fury that erupts sideways.
