Ever notice how a kid blazing through the social ranks at school can turn into a tiny thundercloud the moment they step through the front door? Well, I was just on the phone with a mom wrestling exactly that—a double Libra boy, powered by Mars in Capricorn and sporting a fiery 3-degree Leo rising. For half a year, this kid has been caught in the cosmic tug-of-war known as the Mars-Pluto opposition, which, let me tell you, has a way of flipping otherwise charming kids into miniature rage machines. So here’s the kicker: this future Prom King is winning the hearts of his classmates by day but morphing into the “You’re not the boss of me!” kid at home. With Mars in Leo squaring Venus in Scorpio, it’s basically drama in astrological form—like the universe is scripting a teenage soap opera before his time. But instead of playing the strict parent, I suggested his mother lean into curiosity: why spill all that schoolyard charm but come home with a chip on his shoulder? Tricky transits like this don’t just rattle cages; they awaken raw spots in the natal chart, and after witnessing so many hotheads throw epic fits lately, I can vouch for keeping cool being harder than it sounds. Now that Mars-Pluto is finally cooling off, maybe it’s time to ask yourself: how much rage did you really carry through these months, and where in your chart did it explode? After all, with Saturn in Aries looming, careless fury might just come back like a bad rerun. So… anyone wanna fess up about their own cosmic meltdown? What parts of you caught fire?
I’m just off the phone with the mother of a double Libra boy, with Mars in Capricorn. He has a 3 degree Leo rising so he’s been caught in the Mars Pluto opposition that has been sustained for six months!
Apparently he’s a future, Prom King, as he’s winning hearts and minds in his new elementary school, and boasting about it. But he’s also coming home and being a jerk to his mother.
When she tells him not to do what he’s doing, it’s essentially, “You’re not the boss of me!” He pushes her harder. Mars in Leo is squaring his Venus in Scorpio.
I suggested, rather than tell him what he can and can’t do, she ask him, why, if he’s so happy at school and his life is great an all – why does he come home and be mean to his mother? This is not to be a pressured question, but more of a query or a curiosity. Let him figure it out! Chances are, if he thinks about it, he’ll check himself as his butt is showing in this regard. What kind of Prom King bullies their mother?
Transits like this will trigger natal situations. I’m happy to say, I’ve kept my cool during this period, mostly due to the actions of others! It’s because I have Mars in Libra. I saw so many people… friends, family, clients and strangers go off, it caused me to pull my horns in. I know some people who have raged, daily, throughout this entire period… when it’s not their usual way.
I don’t mean this in a critical way. Mars Pluto triggers! But now, as it’s breaking up, you may want to consider the level of your rage, the reason for it, and the way direct it. It seems a good time to consider this, because your raging will have consequences, with Saturn in Aries.
Anyone want to cop to raging over these last months? What got hit in your chart?
