Mars moves into Pisces where it will stay until February 19th. Under this influence you could be more sensitive than you realize, and you’ll probably notice that your physical energy has higher peaks and lower valleys than usual. Napping will be a very good thing for you to do when you’re tired; you may need more sleep than you normally do too. It will be important that you honor your body in that regard by resting when you need it and taking regular breaks.
Assertion may be a real issue for you at this time. You will probably be better at acting on behalf of others than for your own benefit. If you don’t feel comfortable expressing yourself forcefully, that energy can easily turn into passive-aggressive behavior, something that you must be aware of at this time. It will be far too easy for you to wage a cold war instead of simply expressing your anger or other strong emotions if you don’t feel comfortable with your emotions or problems during this period.
It will also be very tempting to try to escape those issues by way of drugs, alcohol, or any other addictive and damaging behavior. If you find yourself needing a break from everyday life, the challenge will be to find ways to indulge these parts of yourself safely during this transit.
