With Mars stationing direct in your 10th house—the one that goes "all the way to the top"—remember that leadership and authority are about relationships. These are not equal or level relationships, either. They are about authority, yet they also can be fair. What's significant is that you are the one who must define fairness, and to do that, you must have a balanced mind, which is another way of saying equanimity. This is an interesting concept. It's about one's inner state, which has a way of expanding and reaching into the feelings of others. The relationships you're building must be built on trust, and where you are in a position of authority, your willingness to play your rule is a fundamental element of that trust. As the month unfolds, you're likely to have a series of opportunities to step up to new challenges. I suggest you do this incrementally, never taking on more than you can handle. The goal is not to have power; the goals, if I may suggest a few, are to explore the feeling of competence, and what it's like to collaborate with others in a satisfying way. Emphasize the quality of what you get done rather than how much or how impressive it is. If you're concerned what others watching you might think, clearly, this is the focus.
