Moon Is In Aries

Greetings, star gazers and interstellar travelers! The Moon, our closest celestial neighbor and eternal dance partner of Earth, has decided to sneak into the fiery house of Aries. And boy, is it having a blast! Picture the Moon like a quiet librarian who's accidentally wandered into a rock concert. It's a bit out of place, but hey, the band is playing some catchy tunes! Aries, the zodiac equivalent of a caffeinated squirrel, is all about action, initiative... and did I mention action? With the Moon in Aries, emotions may be running a wee bit high. We're talking a rocket ship ride on an emotional roller coaster. It's like your feelings decided to have a party and invited adrenaline as the plus one. Now, let's talk distance, my friends. Our dear Moon is precisely 370,184.076495472 kilometers away. That's about as far as 9,255,602 double decker buses lined up bumper to bumper. Impressive, right? And yet, with all that space between us, the influence of the Moon can still make you feel like wearing your heart on your sleeve and a lampshade on your head! In this lunar phase, don't be surprised if you find yourself leaping before you look, emotionally speaking. Remember, though, that while spontaneity can lead to unexpected adventures, it's always wise to pack a parachute. Or, at least, invest in some emotional elbow pads. In summary, during this period of the Moon in Aries, expect the unexpected, prepare for emotional firecrackers, and remember to take a moment to breathe. And please, folks, try to avoid mooning anyone in Aries. It's just not good manners... unless of course they're an alien from Alpha Centauri, in which case, it's considered a compliment. See you amongst the stars!

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 10 Vir 37' 33", moving at 1.11 degrees per day, and is 141681341km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Greetings, cosmic cadets! Do you hear that? That’s the sound of our resident interstellar speedster, Mercury, doing laps around the Sun and currently hanging out in the meticulous realm of Virgo. Now, mind you, this isn’t some hippy-dippy cosmic gibberish. It's pure celestial mechanics, with a dash of my personality-induced eccentricity to spice it up for ya! For those of you in the back who didn't pay attention during high school astronomy, Mercury being "prograde" means it's moving in the same direction as us, making it seem like it's holding a steady pace of 141,793,423.498476684km away. Yeah, you can thank me later for that overwhelmingly precise distance calculation. Now, let's chat about what this means for you. Mercury’s move into Virgo is akin to your personal assistant getting a shot of espresso. Suddenly, your mental acuity is sharper than Spock's ears, your words are as precise as a NASA scientist's calculations, and you're cutting through conversations like a lightsaber through butter. The Virgoan influence helps us streamline our thought process, like an efficient, mental Marie Kondo. All the irrelevant information? Thanked and tossed out. You're left only with what sparks intellectual joy. This makes for crystal clear communication and fewer instances of foot-in-mouth disease. And productivity? Oh boy, let's just say, you're going to be more productive than a coffee-fueled coder on a deadline. But beware! With all this focus on efficiency, you might start acting like Sheldon Cooper on a bad day. You know, nitpicky and critical. Remember, folks, discernment is good, turning into a fault-finding machine, not so much. So, as Mercury plays in the Virgo sandbox, let's strive to refine our communication. A little tact goes a long way. And hey, we're all perfectly imperfect, aren't we? That's it from me, stargazers. Until next time, keep your telescopes ready and your minds open.

Venus in Leo: The Cosmic Roar of Love!

Alright, star gazers! Buckle up because Venus, our planetary goddess of love, has sashayed her way into Leo, the zodiac's resident drama queen. Picture Venus with a lion's mane, strutting down a cosmic runway while belting out, "I just can't wait to be king!" That's the energy we're talking about here. During this time, we're not just looking for love, we're auditioning for the role of Romeo or Juliet. We're shouting sonnets from rooftops, painting hearts in the sky with airplane smoke, and let's be honest, probably causing a few noise complaints from our neighbors. No wallflowers here, folks! With Venus in Leo, love isn't just in the air, it's in technicolor surround sound. It's less about holding hands at sunset and more about renting out a billboard that screams, "I LOVE YOU!" in neon lights. Now, beware! The Lion, while playful, can also bring a touch of drama to the stage of love. You might throw a tantrum if your significant other forgets to put a heart emoji in their good morning text. Remember, there's no 'i' in 'we', but there is in 'dignity'. So let's not lose it over a missing heart emoji, shall we? Our feline friend Leo also knows how to live large and in charge. So while Venus is in Leo, you may feel an urge to splurge on shiny things. Just remember, while treating yourself to a diamond-encrusted telescope to better observe Venus might sound appealing, generosity is also a trait of Leo. So, why not donate that money to a local science program and help inspire the next generation of astronomers? In conclusion, Venus in Leo is like a celestial Broadway musical, filled with grand gestures of love, dramatic declarations, and the occasional diva moment. It's a reminder that life needs a little bit of sparkle, fun, and over-the-top romantic gestures. So, go ahead, sing your love from the rooftops, just remember to keep it down after 9pm, some of us have to work in the morning.

Beam Me Up, Scotty: Mars in Virgo

Alright, star children, put on your space goggles and tighten your asteroid belts, Mars has parked its cosmic caravan in Virgo. Now, I know you're thinking, "Wow, 358908034.855776548km away? I can't even find my way to the local grocery store without GPS!" But trust me, this celestial event is as close to home as your next Google search or, dare I say, your next kale smoothie.

Mars, that red hot planet of action and assertion, meets Virgo, the sign of hyper-efficiency and health nut extraordinaires. This is like putting rocket fuel in your vegan, gluten-free, fair-trade certified espresso machine. Tasks will be dispatched quicker than a Star Trek crew member in a red shirt.

Virgo, being the cosmic caretaker of our 6th House of Health and Self-Improvement, might have you trading those late-night Netflix binges for early morning gym sessions. And because Mars in Virgo loves routine more than a sci-fi fan loves a good plot twist, these new habits are likely to stick like velcro to a Trekkie's uniform.

Be warned though, space cadets, we're not all supernovas and rainbow nebulae. The downside of this celestial alignment could make us more critical than a Vulcan at a logic convention. We might find ourselves frustrated by inefficiency and lack of control – a bit like trying to navigate through a black hole with a faulty warp drive. Remember, patience is a virtue, even when your spaceship's engine is on the fritz.

So, instead of focusing on what others may be doing wrong (like confusing Star Wars with Star Trek, sacrilege!), use this time to tackle tasks requiring attention to detail with the precision of a phaser set to stun. Whether it's balancing your budget, learning Klingon, or planning to take over the world, there's no better time to start than with Mars in Virgo! So buckle up, and may the force — err, I mean, live long and prosper!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 14 Tau 12' 05", moving at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 728359932km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

"Hold on to your space helmets folks, we have a cosmic event on our hands! Jupiter, the kingpin of wisdom and deep thoughts, has decided to bunk up with Taurus, the stubborn old bull of the zodiac. If you imagine this as a cosmic sitcom, it's like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory moving in with Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. It's going to be a ride! Picture this: Jupiter is the eccentric professor encouraging us to dig deep within ourselves, while Taurus is the grumpy life coach who tells us that the answers we seek are already inside us – somewhat like Yoda, but less green and more bullish. It's not about seeking spirituality in some far-off nebula; it's about realizing it's been there all along, buried under piles of to-do lists and half-eaten pizzas. Now, let's get nerdy. Jupiter in Taurus is basically your cosmic Google Calendar prompting you to make strides towards your dreams and long-term goals, with a side order of practicality and patience. It's like having the discipline of a Jedi and the ambition of a Starfleet captain, urging you to boldly go where you haven't gone before. How can we talk about Taurus without mentioning the 'M' word - Money? With Jupiter, the cosmic Santa Claus, in Taurus, the Wall Street Bull, it's like a celestial lottery. You could practically smell the money, and by smell, I mean metaphorically, unless your money has a peculiar odor, in which case I'd recommend a new bank. However, let me tell you, Taurus loves indulgence, just like Garfield loves lasagna. When Jupiter, the planet of more-is-more, meets Taurus, we might find ourselves confusing needs with wants. So, while a life-sized replica of the Millennium Falcon may seem like a dire necessity, it might be wise to hold your horses...or bulls, in this case. In the words of the great Spock, 'Live long and prosper', but remember, moderation is key! And don't forget to keep an eye out for black holes, they are always a bit tricky."

Saturn In Pisces: The Cosmic Dad is Checking Your Homework

Well, my starry-eyed comrades, Saturn—a.k.a. the Universe's stern schoolmarm, has shimmied its way into Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "What's a galactic titan doing in a sleepy, dreamy sign like Pisces?" and "How far is 1320993566.330876350km in light years?" But, don't fret, I've got you covered.

Think of Saturn's jaunt into Pisces as an unexpected visit from your least favorite aunt who insists on cleaning your room because she believes in 'a place for everything'. Except this time, instead of your room, it's your dreams she's tidying up! We're talking shaking out those dusty dreams under the bed and checking for the ones that expired back in 2005. Saturn in Pisces is here to help you declutter your dreams and turn them into reality. It's a celestial version of Marie Kondo meets Bob the Builder.

Yes, your dreams might be feeling a bit invaded right now, like when your parents discovered your secret diary. But remember, Saturn's not here to embarrass you about your teenage crush on a boy band. He's here to get you to finally admit that you still want to start that alpaca farm or write that sci-fi novel about sentient toasters. So grab a pen and paper (or a voice recorder if you're fancy) and start jotting down those dreams.

Now, if you're feeling a bit restless or anxious during this time, it's totally normal. Saturn's presence in the realm of sleep and dreams could have you tossing and turning more than a rotisserie chicken. My advice? Zen out. Meditate, take long walks, deep breathe, or nap (preferably not while walking). And definitely get a full night's rest. You might even want to hit the hay earlier than usual. Just remember, if you wake up remembering a dream about flying on a unicorn, jot it down. You never know; it might be your next big idea.

So there you have it, folks. Saturn in Pisces: a time for cosmic housekeeping and nocturnal wisdom. Don't forget to thank your celestial dad on the way out.

Uranus In Taurus: A Star Wars Episode

Far, far away, about 2958373587.833599091km to be precise, Uranus has parked itself in Taurus. And boy, what a cosmic episode this is turning out to be! Picture Luke Skywalker trying to train Yoda in the ways of the Force. That's right, Yoda, the master himself! Seems off, doesn't it? Well, that's kind of what we're dealing with here.

Taurus, you’re as sturdy as an X-wing fighter and steady like the Force in its purest form. But here’s the rub - Uranus is more like a hyperdrive malfunction. It's all about sudden changes, warp speed shifts, and intergalactic turbulence. While you'd rather stick to the comforts of your Tatooine homestead, Uranus is pulling a Death Star move, breaking up your status quo like Alderaan (too soon?).

Now let's talk Galactic Credits, or as you earthlings call it, 'money.' Taurus, you've got a knack for it, much like Lando had for sly deals. But with Uranus in your sign, picture it as the Rebel Alliance planning a financial revolution. Expect some serious reshuffling in your monetary Millennium Falcon. Banks might seem like they've been frozen in carbonite, and your stock markets may take a roller coaster ride scarier than escaping the trash compactor in the Death Star.

On a personal level, this transit is like a Jedi mind trick, making us rethink our relationship with money and material possessions. Are we chained down like Jabba's prized possession, or can we break free and live a life as carefree as an Ewok on Endor? Uranus, acting like a wise old Obi-Wan, makes us see that resistance is futile. Change is inevitable, much like Anakin's fall to the dark side was.

But remember, young padawans, these changes can bring stability. After all, wasn’t it after much turmoil that the Empire was finally defeated? So, buckle up, keep your lightsabers ready, and may the Force be with you during this Uranian transit. It’s time to leave the Star Destroyer and head for the safety of Echo Base.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 27 Pis 20' 45", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4363309001km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Alright folks, strap in for some cosmic fun! Our big blue buddy Neptune is sashaying around in Pisces. Now, the distance between us and Neptune is about 4.3 billion kilometers, which in layman's terms, is equivalent to a gazillion trips to the fridge at midnight. And if that doesn’t blow your socks off, let me tell you, Neptune's doing the moonwalk - it's in retrograde! Now, Neptune in Pisces is like an underwater kaleidoscope, it’s all about seeing things from a different perspective. Imagine, if you will, slipping on a pair of cosmic goggles that let you look through the fog of earthly trivialities and see the grand scheme of things. All those petty arguments about who left the toilet seat up or who didn’t replace the toilet paper roll? They'll seem as insignificant as a speck of dust on the lens of Hubble Space Telescope. This retrograde is nudging us to take a good look at ourselves and ask, "What can I contribute to the world, apart from my charming personality and award-winning rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody at karaoke night?" We all have something special to offer, whether it's a brilliant idea, a uniquely crafted joke or just an infectious laugh. Now's the time to dive into that spiritual course you've been eyeing, or finally set up that meditation corner at home you've been procrastinating about. Maybe it's time to share your secret grandma's cookie recipe with the world, because let's face it, those cookies are the embodiment of unity and love. Remember, Neptune in Pisces is like having a celestial cheerleader behind you, encouraging you to explore and express your emotional intelligence. So, folks, let's get out there and make the most of this cosmic energy. And don't forget, it's only 4.3 billion kilometers away, just a hop, skip and a quantum leap!

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 46' 18", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5062775499km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Hey there, space cowboys and cosmic cowgirls, buckle up because Pluto is high tailing it in Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Isn't Pluto like 5 billion kilometers away?" You're darn right, my sharp-minded friend! But in the grand scheme of the universe, that's just a hop, skip, and a hyperspace jump away. Now, Pluto and Capricorn together are kind of like that power couple you went to high school with; they're all about success, focus, and getting things done. They're like the Han Solo and Princess Leia of the zodiac world, minus the fuzzy Wookiee. But remember, even Han had to learn to play nice with others. So, while this pairing may have you feeling like you can take on the whole Empire by yourself, don't let it turn you into Jabba the Hutt. Keep your ego in check and try not to force choke anyone who disagrees with you. Let's talk about Pluto for a second. It's not just a dwarf planet named after the god of the underworld – it's also all about transformation. It's like Yoda, always encouraging us to drop our negative patterns like they're hot. Of course, this does involve some constructive destruction. So think of it as using a lightsaber to cut away at the stuff that's no longer serving you. Just remember, be deliberate with your strikes. We're going for Jedi precision here, not a clumsy blaster shot. So whether you're navigating asteroid fields or just trying to figure out if that cute Wookiee at the bar is flirting with you, remember: stay focused, be tolerant, and always let the Force guide you. In the wise words of Han Solo himself, "Fly casual." And may the stars be with you, always.

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Trine Moon

There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony with women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.

When the Sun and Moon are in harmonious aspect, you may not be prepared for conflict and could be inclined to avoid rocking the boat. You may give in a little too often, if only to maintain a feeling of balance and harmony, as conflict is something not only disliked, it’s something you might fear. The tendency towards too much acceptance (of the self and of others) is most prominent with the trine. Question life, or run the risk of taking things for granted.

Today will be one of optimism and self-confidence. Your only danger is in becoming over-confident. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch the tendency towards self-aggrandizement, false pride, and over-indulgence in food and drink. Don't overspend, as you are likely to feel extravagant today.Although their intentions are generally good, people with challenging aspects between the Sun and Jupiter are given to overdoing things. They can easily gloss over realistic details and get themselves into debt, overindulge in pleasures such as food and drink, and promise more than they can deliver.For the most part, they find help for their excesses. Somebody’s there to bail them out, as plenty of people believe that their hearts are in the right place. Generally, this is the case, but if excessive behavior becomes a pattern, and the natives continually face light consequences, there is the danger that they will not learn from their mistakes and abuse the “system”, relying on their friends and family to help them out a little too often. Their reputation for being good people, thus, can eventually be used to further their purposes.However, many people with this aspect don’t fall into the trap of losing their sincerity. They are generous, helpful, and charitable. Still, the tendency to live beyond their means is a real threat that many struggle with much of their lives. Another thing to watch for is depression. These people tend to go through periods of intense highs when they are excessively optimistic. These periods are so marked that they seem to be unnatural and a fall seems to be inevitable. They can make promises they intend to keep, but have a problem with follow-through. Self-control can be a real problem. Usually quite knowledgeable and generous with their time, these people have many talents that they may take for granted.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Billy Crystal, Ian Scott Anderson (Jethro Tull), Nell Carter, Edgar Cayce, Linda Goodman, George Lucas, the Olsen twins, Dolly Parton, John Ritter, Oscar Wilde; Oppositions – Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges, Monica Lewinsky, James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner.Alternate interpretations:Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.Sun in hard aspect to Jupiter: Part of your soul purpose is to promote growth and expansion, whether material, intellectual, or spiritual. You are impelled to be involved in large enterprises that have broad social consequences and influence many people, and you need a rather large arena in which to make the impact you wish. You dream BIG dreams and generally possess the self confidence to promote yourself and your ideas on a wide scale. Your willingness to take risks and to branch out into areas you have yet to explore, along with your ability to project into the future and to see the big picture, all add to your capacity to come to prominence and succeed in life in a big way. However, just as unchecked growth and over-development can lead to undesirable consequences for, say, the natural environment, so too can your own urge for “more” or “bigger” have harmful effects. When out of balance, you are prone to exaggerate, to be ostentatious and pretentious, to be overly optimistic and promise things that you can not reasonably do, and to be seemingly unable to limit or restrict yourself in a realistic way. The ego-gratifications you get from being a “big-wig” may become a primary motivation rather than simply an offshoot of your accomplishments. You may be unwilling to pay your dues, too quick to try a shortcut (moral or otherwise) in your eagerness to gain your aspirations. You may also have enjoyed “favored son” or “favored daughter” status in your household growing up, and thus expect things to come easily to you. Generally they do, but relying too much on this kind of luck can lead to errors of judgment on your part, not to mention major disappointments. On a physical level, over consumption could lead to overweight and/or problems with your liver.At your finest, though, you have a generous heart, a positive spirit, and the desire to live for something bigger than yourself. Using these gifts, you can contribute much good to the world as well as your own spiritual refinement. The qualities of hope and joy are also yours to transmit to the world. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.Sun square Jupiter: You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to misjudge through being overly optimistic. However, you never lose your hopes for the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life can be troublesome for you. — Interpretation from the Merlin Report.Sun square Jupiter: You tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career choices. You get carried away and go off in directions contrary to your actual needs. Your judgment in vocational matters is often off, sending you on a wild goose chase. In addition, there is possible difficulty with authorities and the law and/or differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) be your own worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be recommended. — Interpretation from Zet Software.Sun square Jupiter: (The Pompous) Your eye is very much on the “donut” and not on the “hole.” You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by extensive travel. Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center stage to hear your own voice. Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

Venus Square Uranus

Unstable romantic infatuations and impractical or irresponsible attitudes and conduct in relationships should be guarded against. There is a desire to break free from binding partnerships. Impulsive spending may be your idea of breaking free. Be careful during this transit because you are probably not thinking with your head, only your heart, which is your wild side right now. Your behavior now may be so bohemian or bizarre that people turn against you. Settle down and apply self-discipline.The need for stimulation and the need to break the rules with regards to love and romance is apparent when Venus squares or opposes Uranus in the natal chart. These people can confuse their partners readily with their on-again off-again energy when it comes to matters of the heart. With the opposition, this is especially pronounced–when they are given too much space, they feel unloved, yet when they get the love they seem to crave, they can feel smothered by it. They can alienate partners by adopting an “I don’t care what you do” stance when they feel threatened. The truth is, they do fear rejection like anyone else, but they don’t always want to admit it, and they can turn quite cold when they suspect their partner doesn’t care. The energy of Venus-Uranus in hard aspect is embodied in the expression, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. When close to a loved one, they can eventually feel smothered or antsy if the relationship becomes too predictable. They can also detach themselves from living in the moment and enjoying the love they have. When apart, they feel more free to love. This aspect is common in the charts of people who maintain long-distance or otherwise erratic relationships. There can be abrupt beginnings and endings in relationships. They are not very “good” at endings–they can appear quite insensitive, aloof, and brusque. The “let’s be friends” attitude might hurt a partner who felt there was much more to the relationship. These people have a disdain for conventional, traditional, or otherwise “normal” relationships. They need to learn to balance their need for closeness and their need for freedom. They truly detest social pretenses, and insist on being sincere. Being well-liked takes second place to sincerity. There is a strong attraction to all that is different, and all that “shouldn’t” be done in love and in sex. Taste in clothing and art is unusual, original, and unique.There is a tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others, and there is marked emotional impulsiveness with these aspects. Their most successful relationships are unconventional ones. Whether they do so publicly or privately, they delight in defying convention. They tend to move on and outgrow friendships. Some possess considerable romantic charm and humor, and they can pretty much charm the birds out of the trees when they choose to do so! Their love feelings are easily aroused and their romantic relationships begin with suddenness. There is a marked inner craving for emotional excitement and a need to feel spontaneous and free.Alternate interpretations:Venus square Uranus or Venus opposition Uranus: *Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but they often end abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently – especially in your younger years. You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique, creative, or unstable people.#You tend to fall in love instantly, and you need to discriminate between passing sexual fancy and something that can last “forever.” As your intuition develops, you will be able to identify the difference more clearly. When you “fall,” that is a good time to marshal all your respect for yourself and your partner, and to take things one day at a time until you have forged a deep connection.

Today is the day to expand and set new plans into action. Broaden your horizons and don't limit your possibilities. 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.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
