This placement
You act indirectly, emotionally and protectively — you don't attack head-on, you advance by a side path, with feeling and intuition. Your energy depends on your mood: when motivated you move mountains, when hurt you retreat. Your strength is your instinct to protect your loved ones and your emotional endurance; your weakness is passive-aggressiveness, fighting by sulking, and bottling up anger then erupting. Your anger is like a shell and a wave. Your test: expressing anger and need openly.
Is “fall” a bad thing?
No. The planet's needs are hard to meet in this sign; it is demanding, but in time it turns into one of the sturdiest parts of the chart.
