Daily aspects
When Mars stands in Pisces, our energy is reliable, but we are volatile. We are sensitive, diplomatic, and intend to take a leadership position inconspicuously. We behave with particular self-control. We are dreamy and forgiving, sacrificing, and enthusiastic. Passions come to light. We are friendly, hospitable and we love to have fun.
You need to remember that Venus is exalted in Pisces, and Pisces is ruled by Neptune. This Trine can bring karmic gifts and financial rewards due to previous right-doings. It is a wonderful time for charitable work, and attracting real love into your life. Remember to be kind during this transit, and that kindness will be reflected back to you. It is a wonderful time to pick up a guitar, or paintbrush, as a new hobby, and go to the theater to watch ballet and theatrical dramas. It's also a great time to host, invite friends you love over, and offer beautiful food!
It's easy to get irritated and moody. Family disputes can occur every day. You will experience difficulty in finding peace. You will feel confused, as you will not fully be able to think with your head, or feel with your heart. Choosing clothes to wear for the day may be difficult, as you may find it hard deciding on whether you want to wear a more feminine or masculine look.
