Hi Mari, and welcome back to the forum. First, information about our personal astrological 'weather' does us little or no good if we use it as a worry stone. If we let it trigger fear-based thinking, then it is of no benefit. All of us can reject this from our consciousness so we can be constructive and creative in how we enact our choices.
Secondly, that you acknowledge a need for certain changes is more empowering than anything any of us can tell you. This correlates to Pluto [21S18] in transit parallel your Asc [22s]. Neptune 10PIS54-Rx has been square your Asc for a while. (I'm assuming your chart is accurate as-is). This can be a profoundly transformative period, but one that for now requires tremendous patience, and willingness to cut out any patterns that are harmful or inappropriate for your life now.
Mars added to this helps bring some energy of decision, assertiveness that has been lacking, but it is very transient. In October and November Mars will realign with your natal Uranus in declination [23S25] to allow for a stronger spark of iniative and change.
Take this a step further, and in a state of peaceful meditation insist on the most benevolent and beneficial outcome from this window of opportunity - for all involved.. ALL convergences of astrological energies represent windows of opportunity for appropriate action and creation.
Uranus in transit opposite your natal Mercury indicate the need for a change in thinking, and probably a need for some new friends who help bring insights and support to your new efforts. You'll find that quite liberating, as Uranus will transit back to its conjunction with Jupiter in coming months, indicating new freedoms and exciting developments.
