The stellium in Aries (Mars) is in full effect now, squared by Pluto in Capricorn (Saturn), and aspected by Saturn in Scorpio (Mars). Anyway you turn it, we're looking at a Mars / Saturn combination, which known to be CRUEL.

 

This scares people, but in reality, energy is neutral until directed.  I explained this here: "Gravel in your guts, and spit in your eye..."

 

To elaborate, an Olympic athlete's training is rigorous and punishing. They endure it voluntarily and it's only sports where this comes into play.

 

If you want to be the best cello player in the world, or the best composer, you best be ready and willing to fight (Mars) against whatever blocks (Saturn) you encounter. If you want to build a business, or create wealth for yourself, same thing.

 

Even if you are not that ambitious, you never know when you're going to need endurance. I think it's a good idea to set aside your fear, embrace this energy and use it in your life.
