Prepare for Drama at Home!

As aggressive Mars faces off powerful Pluto on March 26, power struggles at home are likely to surface. The truth about a core issue needs to be confronted. Be prepared to dig deep and be more honest with your family than you’ve ever been before.

Mars and Pluto represent the forces of will. Mars shows the more youthful, impulsive side, while Pluto symbolizes the power that comes with age. This week you may find there’s a clash between old and young in your home, perhaps between parents and kids.

Whenever Mars and Pluto meet, fireworks soon follow. Don’t view tension as a problem, rather see it as a necessary clearing of the air, the way a brushfire clears debris for new growth.

Since power and desire are in focus, it’s likely that differences of opinion about raising the kids, running the household or managing family finances will boil over. This is actually a good thing, as it makes it crystal clear where everyone stands -- and what each person really wants. From this place of openness, progress is possible. Just be prepared to readjust the balance of power. You may even find it liberating to let go of something you’ve been a little obsessive about.

If you can view any drama this week’s Mars-Pluto dynamic may cause as an opportunity to open up, reconnect and transform, you’ll be amazed at how productive you and your family can be. After all, working together brings longer-lasting results more than trying to do it alone.
