*Drama and Pleasure in Service*

There is plenty of strength in you, if you adhere to what you want to accomplish. You rule through serving first, or, in current terms, "Service rules." This doesn't mean slavishness, for the sun is in Aries and the moon in Leo, signs of self-reliance, but these fire signs at their best embody the wisdom of a king who knows his kingdom is based on the well-being of his subjects.

Conflicts or tussles need not be grievous but may occur unexpectedly if anyone important to you takes dislike to you based on something you said or did which rankled. This would be the square between Mars and Venus. It can lend spice to the love life, but sado-masochism needs a very short leash.

I can't speak for you, but for me the Mercury-retrograde period (March 12 until April 4) has been harder in the past few days, with struggles to keep up with things which seemed to be slipping out of my hands. All this will not get better immediately on Wednesday but there may be signs of improvement by then. What you have struggled to get right is still incomplete, but little signs of gain are heartening.

What is emerging in your love life, or less passionate human connections? Much could be happening, experimentally, without a grand plan. Spontaneous developments in human relations or flirtations please you. Maybe somebody wants to be your love-slave. You dream, or day-dream, of those you have idealized either in the remote or the more immediate past. You might wake up realizing you have spent a few minutes recalling someone you loved, or visualizing or dreaming of something which may or may not have happened in connection with someone. This is a piece of a subconscious attempt to bring your relationships into a pattern which makes sense within your whole life-career (which, it is said, we perceive in its totality when we pass from this world). It includes not just major relationships but sometimes casually met strangers, entertainers, or animals.

Pondering several features of the chart, I see a danger of isolation through actions which hurt or alienate people. Younger people may be involved. Sometimes it is not possible to regain someone's good will, at least not for a long time. That is a schism to prevent if you can.

You might be locked into a situation where someone (boss, administrator, partner) treats you harshly or cruelly and you don't see how to escape. This could be a result of past karma, or of some need you have to learn certain lessons of forbearance. Only you can determine the answer. Probably patience is a major part of it, while we remain in the Dark Hermetic Epoch until April 23, for impatient actions or reactions before then are specially dangerous in their effects.

If that does not apply to you, you are blessed, and you might see these aspects working out as service performed by someone for you, or you for someone, with no harshness or injustice but merely the ordinary suffering of effort expended. As my Aunt Bernice used to say, "No rest for the wicked." But with Mars retrograde-to-stationary in Virgo, your work is gaining clarity, and eventually ease, through careful review and revision of how you do it.
