I enjoyed how you wrote this up @ec-astrology. And yes, these are some challenging times.

I personally have Mars in Capricorn, 2nd house. It is opposing my Pluto. I have been seeing how well some of my life plans have been unfolding (although mostly due to excruciatingly painful situations I've endured with a smile on my face) while I watch a shitshow around me that somehow can no longer touch me the same way as before.

Fascinating times for us!
