Daily aspects
During this transit, it is important not to invest in the stock market, as you may not get a good return on your investment. If you are in charge of others at work or school, you will be overbearing and very strict. On the other hand, you will be extremely subservient to those who hold power over you. It is not a good time to ask for a promotion at work, and it's better to just go with the flow, and not stick out too much. You won't have much self confidence, and it's not the ideal time for romantic encounters.
This transit can cause you to feel emotionally violent and aggressive. You may want to lash out, especially if you are female, to anyone who oppresses you, from your husband to your boss. There may be disagreements over joint finances, inheritances, alimony and taxes. If your pet shows any signs of illness, it's best to take it to the vet.
