*Retreat for the Sake of Internal Expansion*

You can focus on what you are hoping to attain with good marksmanship. You want to win, or be better than someone else in some regard, and that is not wrong when it is healthy competition rather than vain or malicious.

Venus beginning an opposition with Saturn means you may feel bleak or worried and need to pray for help and guidance. I do not prophesy disaster, but there can be disasters for those who do not fear or respect G*d and His teachings and inspirations.

Old things and teachings will help you. What has guided people in the past still guides them. Adversity is the source of religious outreach and spiritual realization, the foundation of an individual's relation with G*d, and so is to be faced prayerfully, so that when the adversity has passed one has learned something about G*d and one's relation to Him.

There ought to be financial good times shaping up for many or most, with a grand trine forming among Jupiter, Mars and Pluto. There are times when it is all right to be a contented cow or bull, grazing in a park or pasture, enjoying what G*d and the cosmos have given.

The opposition of Mars with Mercury can mean tantrums, anger because of working conditions, or disagreement over methodologies. You might be able to improve your methods with realistic insight, even if in the past they have been cause for anxiety.

There could be explosions of temper from anger which seems righteous. This is not easy to deal with and it is hard for most of us to learn lessons of humility when we feel outraged at injustice. I do not know the answer in your case but hope these clues will help.

You can ultimately salvage whatever has been lost, in terms of family, heritage, and the course of your life. The past is not a meaningless hulk floating on the sea to be dissolved in the waves, rather you can find in it materials for a better future.

You may feel inquisitive and want to go places you don't usually visit, to expand your consciousness and get a feeling of what opportunities are available. This pioneering instinct does not have to get very far from home, physically, but might go far on the mental-spiritual plane.
