Power struggles don't scare you because your Mars semisquare Pluto gives you this unshakeable drive that kicks in hardest when someone tells you something can't be done. You tackle challenges with an intensity that catches people off guard, and you have zero patience for half-measures or giving up when things get tough. That relentless ambition of yours means you'd rather bulldoze through obstacles than find a way around them, which works great until you meet immovable objects or people who push back just as hard.
The friction this aspect creates actually becomes your secret weapon once you learn to work with it instead of against it. You transform setbacks into comebacks better than most people, and your ability to dig deep when others would quit makes you incredibly resilient in both career and relationships. The key is recognizing when that intensity needs channeling versus when you're picking fights just because the energy has nowhere else to go, but when you get it right, you become unstoppable at turning your biggest challenges into your greatest strengths.
When transiting Mars hits your Pluto in a semisquare, you're going to feel like someone just cranked up the intensity dial on your life. The red planet is pushing all your buttons while Pluto whispers "go deeper" in your ear, and suddenly every goal feels like it needs to happen yesterday. You might catch yourself getting more worked up than usual about things that normally wouldn't faze you, or finding yourself in situations where everyone seems to be jockeying for position.
The good news is this transit is like having a personal trainer for your willpower. Mars is giving you the drive while Pluto is showing you exactly what needs to change, even if it's stuff you've been avoiding for months. Channel that restless energy into something productive instead of letting it turn into arguments with people who probably don't deserve your intensity right now. You're discovering you're stronger than you thought, but the trick is using that strength to build something better rather than tear down what's already working.
