Jupiter con Mars, watch your temper!

So, I decided to also start to study my transits, since my copy of Planets in Transit arrived today.
Taking a look a transits I see that Jupiter was exactly conjuct Mars last night, and I lost my temper totally last night, which I don't usually do.

So, as a warning, this transit isn't just a beneficial one. If I only had looked at my transits earlier, then I might have been able to avoid the situation.

So, the lesson is:
- Be aware of your ongoing transits, and when they are exact.
- Transits to malefics can be bad, even if the experts would predict a good outcome.

Also check what the moon was doing at that same time. The moon is a "trigger" ... also check what Merc was doing. One transit doesn't make for a tantrum.

And I think now, if only I'd known...would I have controlled myself???

And that is the question..................

I'm always very aware of my transits. But I'm never able to avoid doing the stupid things they indicate...........

It's like PMS. I know it's gonna come, but I only realize I'm in the middle of it when I've already burnt half the house with the flames spurting out of my nostrils...................

Ok CJN, message received and understood......But, losing our tempers can be a beneficial last resort response to get necessary action (and introspection) from "complacent others".

Perhaps that's why some experts predict a good outcome for Jupiter transits to Mars.

We can look ahead a bit with a transit and instead of trying to find the may be will happen boogy men, use it instead to plan events. Mars conjunct Jupiter would be a great time to take on long stamina events... painting the house, climbing that mountain you always intended to, with that combo... be sure to pack extra bandages.(Expansive Jupiter with volatile, cutting Mars)

Well, reading about the triple conjuction made me realize that something was wrong. That something was the orb of transits, which was reduced too much in the program configuration. Tweaking them made me realize that:

Neptune has been sitting on my Mars for quite some time, and so has Uranus on my Mercury. Further, the third part of the conjuction is Chiron, which I didn't check for transits before.
