Moon Is In Capricorn

Well, well, well, Star Gazers! The Moon, our lovely lunar lady, has set up her cosmic camp in Capricorn. Let's talk about what that means for us mere mortals down here. First off, the Moon is currently 361244.569292911km away - not that you'd need to know that for a pub quiz, but hey, knowledge is power, right? And in the next 24 hours, she'll be packing up her stardust suitcase and jetting off to Aquarius. But let's not get ahead of ourselves! When the Moon is in Capricorn, it's like your strict but loving grandma who always has a Werther's Original in her pocket. It's all about discipline and responsibility. It's time to put on your big boy/girl/non-binary pants and get things done. But don't fret, my friend! This doesn't mean you have to solve quantum physics or decode the mysteries of the human genome. It's more about taking care of the little things, like finally doing that pile of laundry that's been staring at you for the past week or maybe just starting that diet you've been talking about since the last solar eclipse. But remember, even though Capricorn might be the workaholic of the zodiac, it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. So, why not turn that laundry into a game of basketball (socks make great balls), or make cooking healthy meals into a personal episode of Iron Chef? The universe is a marvelous thing, isn't it? It's always moving, always changing, like a cosmic game of musical chairs. Hang tight, star children, because we're all in this space dance together! Until next time, keep your eyes on the skies and your feet on the ground...or, you know, wherever you prefer them to be. Earth gravity can be such a drag, am I right?

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 03 Vir 15' 19", moving at 1.34 degrees per day, and is 154678128km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Hey there, star gazers! Get ready to sharpen those pencils and dust off those brain cells because Mercury has parked its cosmic caboose in Virgo! Yeah, you heard me right. The planet of communication is doing a summer internship in the sign of precision and detail. So, what does that mean for you? Well, let's break it down. Our cosmic courier Mercury, who has decided to take a 154788292.947644711km jaunt away (yes, I measured), has decided to go all prograde on us. That means we're in for some straight shooting chit-chat. No more fluffy talk about how Aunt Mildred's cat looks like Elvis. We're cutting through all the small talk and getting straight down to brass tacks. Under this transit, we're a bit like a cosmic Marie Kondo, stripping out everything that doesn't spark joy... or at least doesn't pass the Virgo's stringent fact-checking. Our mental filters are getting a serious upgrade, folks. It's like we've gone from dial-up to high-speed broadband overnight. Now, this isn't going to be a party in your grey cells. Mercury in Virgo means business. We're talking top-notch productivity and progress. You'll find yourself less likely to get stuck in those "what's the meaning of life" conversations and more focused on "how can I make the most efficient sandwich". But hold up! Before you start wielding your newfound powers of discernment, remember that with great power comes the potential to be a total buzzkill. We've got to be careful not to become hyper-critical. Remember, nobody likes a know-it-all, even if you do know that the capital of Bhutan is Thimphu (it is, look it up!). So, while Mercury's hanging out in Virgo, let's try to keep our critical comments wrapped in a soft tortilla of tact. After all, nobody likes a hard-shell critique, am I right? Alright, my celestial cherubs, that's all the astrological wisdom I've got for you today. Keep your telescopes primed and your minds open. Until next time, keep looking up!

Venus

Venus is retrograde at 27 Leo 16' 23", moving backwards at 0.32 degrees per day, and is 47026663km away and approaching.

Venus In Leo: The Cosmic Drama Queen

Hold onto your tinfoil hats, stargazers! Venus, that celestial siren of love and money, has sauntered into extravagant Leo. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and boy, with a whopping 47052830.395048112km between us, my heart's doing somersaults in a physics-defying way.

When Venus hangs out in the fiery Leo, we're not just whispering sweet nothings—we're shouting our love from every rooftop, billboard, and social media platform. We're talking heart emojis on steroids here. Prepare for over-the-top declarations of affection, possibly involving skywriting, interpretive dance, or even a dramatic tattoo.

Subtlety? Pfft! That's for when Venus is in Virgo. Now, it's all about grandiose expressions of love. Playing it safe is like bringing a pocket calculator to a lightsaber battle—better step up your game, or you'll be left collecting cosmic dust.

But beware! With Venus in Leo, drama is as inevitable as a Star Wars sequel. If you're not dishing out the attention like free Wi-Fi, expect tantrums worthy of a reality TV show. And yes, you might find yourself instigating a passionate argument just to feel the exhilarating rush of being the center of attention again. Remember, this isn't a solo space mission; teamwork makes the dream work, folks!

Money-wise, Venus in Leo treats cash like Monopoly money. It’s all about making yourself and your loved ones feel like intergalactic billionaires. Buying the moon is a bit out of budget, but hey, splurging on that limited-edition Star Trek figurine set? Totally justified.

But remember, Leo is as generous as they are glamorous. The joy of treating others will probably make you happier than acquiring that life-sized replica of the Death Star. Just make sure your bank account isn't echoing the void of space by the end of it.

In a nutshell, Venus in Leo is about as subtle as a supernova, but it's just the cosmic jolt we need to inject some fun, excitement, and a dash of melodrama into our lives. So buckle up and enjoy the ride, space cadets!

Mars

Mars is in Virgo

Mars is prograde at 12 Vir 46' 37", moving at 0.62 degrees per day, and is 355030740km away and receding.

Mars Is In Virgo

Hello, celestial comrades, stargazers, and fans of the red planet! Mars, the cosmic jock, has decided to put on its glasses, don a lab coat, and get nerdy in Virgo. This is basically the universe's way of saying, "Less brawn, more brain!" Mars in Virgo is like that moment when you realize that the Hulk is also Bruce Banner, but instead of smashing, he's organizing your pantry and color-coordinating your sock drawer. Now, let's do a quick nerd check. Mars is precisely 355001622.771917045km away, give or take a light year. It's moving prograde, which for the astrologically uninitiated, means it's moving in the direction of its rotation. In layman's terms, Mars isn't moonwalking right now. When Mars, the planet of action, steps into Virgo, the sign of efficiency, it’s like a superhero getting a productivity upgrade. That messy desk you've been ignoring? Bam, sorted! That diet plan you've been putting off? Kapow, started! Mars in Virgo is here to tick off those to-do lists with unparalleled zeal. During this time, we might all feel like joining a gym, eating healthier, or finally acknowledging that our bodies aren't just vehicles for consuming pizza (sorry, pizza lovers). Mars in Virgo loves a good routine, so whatever healthy habits you start now are likely to stick around longer than your average New Year's resolution. But beware my friends! There are downsides to having Mars in Virgo. We're all familiar with the phrase "the devil is in the details," right? Well, Mars in Virgo is the devil in those details. It could make us more critical and aggressive, especially if someone misses a decimal point or forgets to use a coaster. Try not to let your inner Sheldon Cooper out. Remember, patience is a virtue, even if someone’s Excel spreadsheet is color-coded all wrong! Instead of nitpicking, use this time to focus on tasks that require attention to detail. Mars in Virgo is the perfect time to balance your budget, plan for the future, learn a new skill, or job hunt. It's also an excellent time for a Star Trek marathon, but that might just be me. So, strap in, space cadets! With Mars in Virgo, it's time to embrace our inner nerds and get stuff done! And remember, as Carl Sagan once said

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 13 Tau 36' 14", moving at 0.11 degrees per day, and is 741995071km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Ground Control to Major Taurus: Jupiter's in Town

Ladies, gents, and interstellar entities, whip out your best pair of binoculars and point them towards the cosmos because our big buddy Jupiter just crash-landed into the plushy couch of Taurus. Now, I'm no Boba Fett but I've got a hunch this could mean some changes are in the air... or rather, in the ether.

Jupiter is the wise old sage of the solar system while Taurus is... well, it's more like that friend who, when you ask where they want to eat, replies with "I don't care" but rejects every suggestion you make. So what happens when you mix wisdom and stubbornness? You get a cosmic kick in the pants reminding you that those deep, existential answers you've been looking for are not hiding in the bottom of a Ben & Jerry's tub – they’re right there inside you, probably wedged between last year's New Year resolutions and that embarrassing memory from 3rd grade.

With Jupiter in Taurus, it's time to shake off that cosmic dust and make some real headway towards your dreams. Who cares if your dream is to finally finish that 2,000-piece puzzle of the Millennium Falcon? Or to become an intergalactic bounty hunter? The stars are aligning, my friends. But remember, this isn't a warp-speed situation. Taurus is as patient as a sloth on sedatives, so take your time, check off your goals one by one, and enjoy the ride.

Now, the good news is that Jupiter's arrival in Taurus is like finding a treasure chest in your backyard. Jupiter is the Santa Claus of planets, always bringing gifts and good luck, while Taurus has a nose for money and luxury. If you've been waiting for the right moment to invest in that golden Death Star replica or start your own Ewok breeding business, now might be the time.

But a word of caution, dear star gazers. Taurus loves indulgence almost as much as Jabba the Hutt loves his frog snacks. With Jupiter, the planet of expansion, entering Taurus' space, you might find yourself treating needs like wants, and wants like needs. It's all fun and games until you're eating caviar for breakfast and wondering why your credit card is smoking. So, keep your impulses in

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 05 Pis 45' 31", moving backwards at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 1327274329km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Ahoy, cosmic sailors! Today, Saturn, our friendly neighborhood taskmaster, has hitched a ride into the mystical seas of Pisces. I know, I know, it might sound like your strict physics teacher just walked into your dreamy art class, but trust me, this is a good thing!

Saturn in Pisces is like getting a personal life coach on steroids, plus it's free! It's that inner voice saying, "Hey, you remember that dream about opening a cat café or writing 'War and Peace 2: The Re-Peace-ening'? Let's make it happen!" This is the time to take those daydreams, no matter how wild or whimsical, and plant them in the fertile ground of reality. So, dust off that old business plan template, sharpen your pencils, and let's get to work!

But be warned, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbows and unicorn frappuccinos. It's more like a cosmic spring cleaning of your soul. You know how your dad used to barge into your room demanding to know why there are pizza boxes under your bed from three months ago? Well, that's Saturn in Pisces for you. It might feel invasive, like a celestial invasion of privacy, but remember, Saturn is like that overzealous dentist - he only pokes and prods because he cares. So let him in, hear him out, and remember to floss... metaphysically speaking.

And if suddenly you're tossing and turning at night, don't rush to blame the burrito you had for dinner. Pisces rules sleep, dreams, and the subconscious. With Saturn's visit, you might experience some restlessness and even a few strange dreams (ever dreamt of being chased by a giant toothbrush? No? Just me?). Don't fret. Embrace it! Meditate, take long walks (preferably without your phone), or simply sit and breathe. And remember, naps are not just for toddlers - they're for everyone who wants to dream big and live bigger.

So, fellow stargazers, let's make the most of this Saturn in Pisces transit. It's not every day we get a chance to turn our dreams into reality. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a dream journal and a pair of fuzzy slippers. Sweet celestial dreams!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 22 Tau 43' 54", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2973149548km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, interstellar voyagers! Buckle up and get ready for a galactic rollercoaster as we journey through the cosmic chaos of Uranus in Taurus. Now, I know what you're thinking, "But Obi-Wan, I like my predictable routines, my feet planted firmly on the ground, and my financial affairs in order." Well, my dear star-child, I hate to break it to you but Uranus didn't travel 2973224322.562089443km just to keep things status quo. You see, Uranus is the rebel of the zodiac, the celestial equivalent of that one friend who shows up uninvited, rearranges your furniture, and then leaves before you have a chance to process what just happened. Meanwhile, Taurus is the astrological embodiment of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." But guess what? Sometimes, it's broke and we don't even know it. During this period, we can expect some cosmic currency chaos. Banks may suddenly look like they've been hit by a mind trick, and the stock market might seem as if it’s doing the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. Meanwhile, new forms of currency could pop up like droids in a Tatooine bazaar. On the personal front, this is the time to Jedi mind trick your financial fears. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages are like Sith Lords lurking in the shadows. But remember, Uranus is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the cosmos, here to free you from the Galactic Empire of financial stress and materialistic entrapment. So, let’s grab our lightsabers and face this change head-on. Remember, resistance is futile (oops, wrong franchise), but really, resisting won't stop these changes from happening. The space turbulence we experience now can lead us to a galaxy far, far better. So let’s ride this Millennium Falcon of cosmic change on to a greater stability that's more enduring than a Wookiee's lifetime. May the force (and Uranus in Taurus) be with you!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 27 Pis 26' 45", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4374240275km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Ah, Neptune in Pisces, my dear astrological enthusiasts! I do hope you're wearing your waterproofs for this cosmic ride! Imagine, Neptune is at a whopping 4,374,290,660.916384697km away. Good thing there's no traffic in space, eh? Neptune, the Roman God of the sea, is currently doing his best impression of Michael Jackson's moonwalk, also known as retrograde motion. This celestial dance maneuver means that Neptune appears to be moving backwards from our earthly viewpoint- quite the party trick, wouldn't you say? Now, let's talk about Neptune in Pisces. If planets were people, Neptune and Pisces would be that eccentric artist couple who live down the street. They're all about spiritual exploration, emotional depth, and a touch of the mystical. As they merge, they throw on some groovy rose-tinted glasses, gazing upon a world where petty differences seem as significant as a speck of dust on the Hubble telescope. This cosmic alignment is like an interstellar wake-up call; it's time to tap into our own inner Yoda and explore our emotional intelligence. What unique gifts can we bring to this cosmic potluck? Perhaps you've got a knack for tie-dye, or you've been dreaming about starting a community garden. Now's the time to dig deep and share those dreams with the world! This is also the perfect moment to delve into that spiritual path you've been flirting with. Maybe take up meditation, start a yoga practice, or even build a crystal grid at home. And remember, just like the WiFi signal at your local coffee shop, Neptune in Pisces is always there, lending you its support. So, go forth and shine, my cosmic comrades!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 54' 38", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5058951815km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Good day, stardust beings! Today's cosmic news is being broadcast straight from the dwarf planet that's suffered a bit of an identity crisis – Pluto! Now, brace your antennae, because Pluto is currently in Capricorn. And yes, I can already hear you asking, "But what does this mean for me, oh space whisperer?" Well, let's delve into the matter, shall we? Firstly, imagine Pluto as that eccentric uncle who shows up at family gatherings, breaking everything in sight, then miraculously rebuilding it all into something even better. That's Pluto for you, always shaking things up before setting things right. Now, picture Capricorn, that ambitious, serious-as-a-black-hole cousin who never seems to take a break from planning their next big career move. When these two cosmic forces align, you can bet your last Star Trek comic that things are about to get intense. There's a heavy focus on success and power (so if you suddenly feel like conquering the world, don't worry, it's just the stars talking). But be warned, this planetary alignment might also give you a slight case of tunnel vision, making you as intolerant as a Dalek when it comes to ideas other than your own. Pluto wants us to clean house, to kick out all those negative patterns that have been squatting rent-free in our lives. But, remember it's a bit like using a lightsaber to cut your birthday cake, you need to be careful what you destroy in the process of creating something new. So, buckle up, space travellers! It's time to channel your inner Spock, embrace the unknown, and prepare for some constructive destruction - all in the name of progress. Remember, it's not about the destination, but the journey... even if that journey is 5058940509.766096115km away. And hey, if nothing else, at least we can all agree that having Pluto in Capricorn sounds way cooler than having it in Aquarius. Now, that would be just plain weird!

Mercury

Mercury Opposite Saturn

Your thinking may be concentrated, obstructed, morose or limited today. Saturn has a way of throwing cold water and constraints on things. Depression is possible, but it will pass, so try to stay optimistic. There may be delays in mail or letters or phone calls. A negative mental outlook along with an unwillingness to accept the ideas of others is characteristic of this aspect. Don't be worried over a lack of inspiration. It won't last long. People will challenge your ideas.Saturn connected to a personal planet in hard aspect has a censoring effect on the planet involved. With Mercury in hard aspect to Saturn, whatever the person says and writes is self-censored to some degree. It’s hard for these people to pour out their emotions, no matter how emotional or needy they feel on the inside. This is because they are always aware of what others might think of them with what they say. They are not necessarily deliberate talkers or thinkers. In other words, they don’t always pick and choose their words carefully or speak slowly. However, they are careful with what they reveal to others. They make plenty of disclaimers, and often come across as negative or sarcastic without intending to. These are people who review conversations they’ve had with others, and who often kick themselves for saying something they didn’t intend to, or for not saying something witty. Saturn tends to have a hobbling effect, and when it’s attached to the planet of communication in hard aspect, there can be some feelings of insecurity about how we speak and communicate in general. These people tend to worry about what they’ve said and how they could have said it better. Some older astrology texts suggest that there can be learning disorders or “slowness” with this aspect, but this is rarely the case. In fact, many people with this aspect are very strong academically. The flow of their communication is blocked in some manner, however, and this is due to an automatic “self-censoring” tendency. Self-consciousness and hypersensitivity is experienced with regards to their intelligence and ability to get ideas across to others, especially in youth. These people need plenty of positive feedback from others in order to feel more confident and less “blocked”.If you have this aspect in your chart, recognize that you are most likely harder on yourself about how you communicate than others are. Ask people close to you for an objective point of view. Chances are, they find you to be astute, intelligent, and an effective speaker or writer. We often tell our kids “don’t worry about what others think”, but telling this to a person with a hard Saturn aspects is not enough, nor is it realistic. They will worry. Instead, I have found that the best way to handle difficult Saturn aspects is to get objective feedback from others! Mercury-Saturn people don’t accept compliments whole-heartedly, yet they crave them and need them. Others around them tend to stop complimenting them, feeling that they either don’t need compliments or don’t want to hear them. Nothing can be further than the truth!Mercury opposition Saturn Your intellectual capabilities are well developed, and you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. You are likely to possess academic “smarts” and writing ability. In some ways you are a loner. This is likely because your greatest feelings of security arise from a job well done. Be sure to exercise caution in entering into contracts. Don’t overlook the important details that can boomerang against you later. It may be best to hire an attorney or other advisor to help you with these tasks. You might find that you are the victim of “red tape”, mix-ups, and communication problems more than most.You sometimes come across as more stern or harsh than you actually are! There is likely to be a negative or sarcastic style to your speech that you may not always be aware of, but that others pick up quickly. You will find that others often misunderstand your intentions rather easily, or that you misrepresent yourself unwittingly. You often kick yourself for saying (or, more often, not saying) something after a conversation is over. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Sheena Easton, Kevin Kline; Oppositions – Steven Seagal, Kurt Russell, Tiger Woods, Robert Redford, Patrick Duffy.

Mars

Business ventures are favored, as is higher education, legal matters, spiritual endeavors and charitable pursuits. Luck is all around you today, but you have to make it happen. Don't just sit there waiting for it to come to you.You tend to be restless and prone to boredom. You need a partner who can keep up with your lightning responses to your environment - and one who truly understands your love of intellectual competition and sparring.You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.Communication is important to you. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually, which is admirable indeed!Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don’t tire easily. Your interest doesn’t fade easily over time. — Interpretation sample from our LoveStyles report.This aspect indicates a harmony between your intellect and your physical strength, and you will most likely have little difficulty achieving your goals in life. It may appear to others that you are lucky sometimes, but you are also good at applying your talents to attain the desired results. You have a natural ability to be in the right place to grab new opportunities or to initiate a well-timed project. You are often successful in competition but sometimes may not even enter the contest because it doesn’t seem worth it to you.You are honest and forthright in your dealings with others, and you tend to trust others readily. You can be a bit careless about spending money, however, and this is probably because you are so eternally optimistic that there will always be plenty around. The possibility of failure does not enter your mind, although success itself is not that important to you–you’re just being you.In your relationships you are attracted to others who also seek a harmonious lifestyle. Your sexual nature is very strong, but you seek more than physical gratification from your mate. You want someone who will share in your life entirely and grow to know and understand you intimately.

You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don’t tire easily. Your interest doesn’t fade easily over time, either.Interestingly, you are able to be assertive without stepping on others’ toes. This is an important part of your attractiveness to women. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him report.Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report – Mars sextile Jupiter or Mars trine Jupiter: *Your self-confidence and vitality are strong and you believe you can do just about anything you want to. You have an enterprising spirit, a good sense of timing, and the ability to sense what will succeed and what won’t. You usually make fortunate decisions in work or business activities. You enjoy healthy competition and you have a rather playful, good-humored attitude toward it. You mostly compete with yourself to see how far you can go or how much you can accomplish. You like to keep stretching your limits.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report – You are usually able to direct your will to productive activities. You find the transcendent component in each relationship and build upon it. You exemplify joy in your daily activities.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report – You have developed the capacity to direct your masculine/active, yang energies in healthy and positive ways. Thus, you have confidence in your “masculine” strengths and abilities. Ennobled by ideals of fair play and concern for the broader social implications of your choices, your actions are most often fortunate, leading to success and increased opportunities. A gift for leadership and inspiring others is also yours. Physical playfulness is an important way you can re-create and rejuvenate yourself.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Sextiles – Bill Cosby, Drew Barrymore, Serena Williams, Richard Speck, Vanessa Redgrave, Robert Pattinson, Peter O’Toole, Oliver North, Galileo, Patrick Duffy, Phil Donahue, Catherine Deneuve, Danny DeVito; Trines – Upton Sinclair, J.
