Have you ever pulled a tiny piece of wool or thread on clothing and wished you hadn't? One seemingly harmless action can turn into something regrettable. Try to bear that in mind this week as Mars connects with Pluto. In the universal scheme of things, both are small. But the power they pack is on par with an erupting volcano on a nuclear testing ground. It may be a conversation with somebody that leaves you wondering where explosiveness came from, too.

How you feel on the inside could be evident to others this week. You're likely mistaken if you think you convey an 'everything's hunky dory' vibe. But remember that it can be easy to focus inner resentment or frustration on those closest to us. That sting in your tail exists for a good reason, and you may need to be extra disciplined regarding where you aim it. Whether you're solo or partnered, keep an eye on how frustration adds unnecessary fuel to assertiveness, too.
