The ability to find clarity and make good decisions under duress is an important skill. It's the sort of thing that often ties into your mood and the context of your situations. If you're on a string of rough turns of events, you might act more impulsively. If you're riding a lucky streak, you're going to give things a longer leash and not be as inclined to get frustrated.

This comes into play today as we have Mars opposing the North Node. This can lead to situations where our impulsivity cause us to try and "accelerate the process" regarding the things we want. But the North Node is very much about trajectory. It's where we're headed. If we're heading somewhere solid, but can't wait to get there, altering the path can throw us off trajectory towards somewhere less desirable.

Today's energy can create some difficulties in areas where we want to change. We might have too much day-to-day crap to plod through, leaving us to relegate the things we should do to better ourselves to the backburner. Some will try to rush through everything, but that's where mistakes that require you to double back and do things over again happen. Likewise, in those areas where we're happy where we're going, we can try to skip parts, which also might take us off track.

It's a trickier sort of energy, and it's one that requires a balance between patience and a capacity to stay active. If you're too patient, you don't get things done. If you're not patient enough, you make bad decisions and can screw up plans. The happy medium is the goal, where you're able to wait long enough to make solid decisions, but once you have, you're out there hitting them hard, working to achieve them. If you stumble, don't get discouraged, and try to look at things in isolation. It can be a faster paced day, but you'll have capacity to control how quickly you handle things. Best of luck.

The energy sets up your personal relationships to develop in a good way, as long as you don't get in the way and mess everything up. Therein lies the real challenge today. You might want to make everything about you, and your wants and your needs. Doing that is going to drive others to a level of disinterest and apathy which will strain your relationships. You have to think of things as a two way street. Being willing to compromise and give can strengthen your relationships and others will buy in and commit to you as well.
