Ep. 15: How You Take Action & Handle Confrontation

What Your Mars Placement Reveals
Using Astrology as a Language for Real-Life Patterns
How you take action.
How you handle confrontation.
How you respond when things get uncomfortable.
These patterns affect every area of your life, your work, your relationships, your self-trust — whether you’ve ever looked at a birth chart or not.
In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken explore these patterns through a grounded, practical lens of astrology, using Mars — the planet of action, drive, anger, desire, and assertion as a tool for self-awareness rather than a box to put yourself in.
This is not about labels or predictions.
It’s about giving language to behaviors you’re already living.
If you’ve ever said:
- “I hate conflict.”
- “I get heated fast.”
- “I shut down.”
- “I need time before I respond.”
That’s Mars at work.
Crystal and Laken share personal examples of how different Mars placements show up in real life, how confrontation styles can clash when nervous systems aren’t understood, and why none of these responses are wrong — they’re simply different.
This episode invites curiosity over judgment, compassion over blame, and better questions over quick reactions. By understanding how you’re wired to move, act, and assert yourself, you gain more choice in how you communicate — especially when emotions are high.
✨ Astrology here becomes a mirror, not a rulebook — offering insight that leads to tangible behavior change and deeper connection.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- Why Mars represents how you take action and handle conflict
- Common confrontation styles and what drives them
- How nervous systems influence reactions during conflict
- Why “I hate conflict” is often a misunderstanding, not a truth
- How compassion and curiosity improve communication
- Using astrology as a tool for awareness, not limitation
- Asking better questions to create better outcomes
This is an entry point into astrology that meets you where you are — practical, human, and immediately applicable.
Breathe low.
Get curious.
And start noticing how you move through the moments that matter most.
Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!

She looks like she has it together.
But inside, she’s tired of being the strong one.
Peace. Play. Love. is for her.
A retreat where the armor comes off,
the nervous system softens,
and self-trust becomes the loudest voice in the room.
