The Sun

Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3435 (N08E16, Dki/Beta-Delta) continued to be the noisiest region on the disk, producing an M8.7 flare at 21/1254 UTC. This AR was little changed overall, growing slightly while maintaining its delta magnetic configuration. Regions 3441 (N08W16, Dri/Beta-Gamma), 3442 (S10E39, Csi/Beta-Gamma), and 3443 (N27W26, Dao/Beta) all exhibited relatively rapid growth and development as the latter two produced low-level C-class flares. Region 3438 (N11E09, Dai/Beta) produced C-class flare activity as well, but was otherwise stable. Region 3444 (N24E37, Bxo/Beta) was numbered this period, but was otherwise unremarkable and appears to be in decay as of the time of this writing. New spots were observed on the NE limb and also trailing just behind AR 3442, but remain unnumbered at this time as we await USAF observatory reports.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters reflected a gradual transition to a more nominal environment. Total field averaged between 3 and 5 nT, the Bz component was mostly +/- 4 nT, and wind speeds steadily decreased from ~430 to 400 km/s. Phi was variable between solar sectors.

There is a 45% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 10% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waxing moon is currently in Sagittarius, at 22 degrees, 05' 01", at a velocity of 13.46 degrees per day.

The First Quarter moon is currently 6.8 days old. It is 374868.4 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 17:55:08, 14 Oct, 2023. The next full moon is at 20:24:27, 28 Oct, 2023.

Moon Is In Sagittarius

Alrighty then, stargazers! Get ready for a celestial scoop that's fresher than a daisy chain at Woodstock! Our dear old Moon, our night-time nightlight, currently posted up in Sagittarius, is hanging out roughly 379901.995317484km away. Now, I know that sounds like a lot, but trust me, in cosmic terms, that's closer than your clingy ex at a house party. Now, don't get too attached because the Moon, being the cosmic vagabond she is, will be packing her lunar suitcase and taking a hard left turn into Capricorn within the next 24 hours. Seriously, she changes signs more often than a chameleon changes colours! So what does this mean for you? Well, like a sci-fi soap opera, expect some drama. Sagittarius, the archer of optimism, has been adding a layer of hope to our emotional pies. So, if you've been feeling like a unicorn prancing on rainbows, blame it on the bowman! But fasten your seatbelts, space cadets, because as the Moon shifts into Capricorn, things are about to get real. Like, reality TV level real. This goat isn't into fluffy dreams - it's all about goals, ambition, and climbing those mountains. So prepare to swap your unicorn horn for hiking boots. Remember my cosmic comrades, it's not about the destination, it's the journey... unless you're talking about light years, then it's definitely about the destination. Stay weird and wonderful!

Pluto

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 11 Vir 09' 44", moving at 0.95 degrees per day, and is 140605293km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Alright, buckle up cosmic comrades, because Mercury is doing a swan dive into Virgo and this is going to be one wild astrological roller coaster ride! Mercury, our interstellar chatterbox, is now hanging out with Virgo, the zodiac’s perfectionist. Imagine if Sheldon from Big Bang Theory started rooming with Martha Stewart. Yeah, it's kinda like that. And it’s 140 million kilometers away! Which is like... a lot of Star Trek marathons. Now, Mercury in Virgo is like having your brain go from dial-up internet to fiber-optic broadband. Your mental gears will be grinding faster than a caffeine-addicted hamster on a wheel. Every word you utter will be precision-cut like a perfect origami swan. No more fluffy words, no sirree! It's all about getting straight to the point. Think of it as verbal spring cleaning. During this time, you'll be absorbing information like a nerdy sponge and stripping out all the unnecessary junk. It's like your own personal ad-blocker but for life. You’ll be able to sift through the info clutter like a pro, making your communication so clear, it'll have people saying, "I see what you're saying" -- literally! This transit, while not exactly the party of the year, is like productivity on steroids. Forget about going round in circles. You’ll be going straight ahead, making moves like a chess grandmaster. You'll be so focused, even a squirrel on sugar rush will look sluggish next to you. But beware, my star-loving friends! This transit can also make you more critical than a grammar nazi at a text-speak convention. Yes, discernment is great, but remember, nobody likes a nitpicker. So let's not turn into the Hulk every time we spot an imperfection, okay? Let's just refine our speech, keep it tactful, and enjoy this brainy transit while it lasts. So grab your telescopes, mark your calendars, and get ready to ride the cosmic waves of Mercury in Virgo. It's going to be a journey to remember!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 17 Leo 51' 01", moving at 0.57 degrees per day, and is 68949993km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Greetings, celestial comrades! Buckle up because Venus, our lovely lady of love, has hitched a ride on the Leo express and let me tell you, things are about to get steamy...er... I mean starry! Venus, currently 68,901,388.154561743km away (yes, I measured) is shimmying her way through Leo's fiery realm and let's just say, she's not here for a quiet cup of tea. When Venus gets cozy in Leo, it’s like a cosmic karaoke night, we’re all belting out power ballads of love from the rooftops. It’s a time when our hearts don't just flutter, they do the macarena. During this transit, being "liked" or "appreciated" isn't enough, oh no! We want to be adored, worshipped, put on a pedestal, preferably with a spotlight (LED, we're eco-conscious after all). It’s time to take risks, make grand gestures, maybe even rent a billboard to declare your love. But remember, folks, playing it safe in this game might leave you on the bench. Leo's fiery energy can also stoke the drama flames. If you're feeling a bit neglected, you might be tempted to unleash your inner drama king or queen. A word of caution though, starting a passionate argument just to steal the limelight might end up with you alone on stage. And remember, there's no "I" in "we", but there is in "pie"... and "WiFi"... and "quicksilver"... but I digress. Now, let's talk moolah. With Venus in Leo, cash isn't just green paper, it's a tool for spreading the love. Leo, the extravagant lion, loves glitz and glamour, so it’s natural to splurge a bit during this transit. But remember, pampering yourself is just a slice of the celestial pie. Leo's also a supremely generous sign, so splurging on thoughtful gifts for others will make you happier than a nerd in a comic book store. So, my star-studded friends, embrace this colorful cosmic dance. Venus in Leo is here to remind us that life without a dash of fun and a sprinkle of excitement is like a galaxy without stars. Shine on, you crazy diamonds!

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 16 Lib 42' 43", moving at 0.66 degrees per day, and is 378653862km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Mars in Libra: The Ultimate Celestial Tango

Alright, fellow cosmic voyagers, grab your favorite reusable coffee cup because it's time to talk about Mars playing footsie with Libra. You see, Mars is like our rowdy roommate who's suddenly decided to enroll in a yoga class. He usually enjoys charging forward, but under the influence of Libra, he's swapping his combat boots for ballet slippers.

Now, while Mars is orbiting around Libra, we become more aware of our relationships, kind of like when you suddenly realize how much cheese you've been eating lately. Suddenly, all the squabbles and disagreements seem as trivial as trying to argue if Star Wars or Star Trek is better. (It's Star Trek, by the way.)

Yet, just like those debates about whether to use light mode or dark mode, we can't ignore the big issues for too long. Mars in Libra doesn’t mean everything's as smooth as fresh almond butter. It's about addressing problems with the finesse of a chess grandmaster.

And remember folks, Libra isn't just about peace and harmony. It’s the celestial advocate, the sign that stands up for equality like a sci-fi hero in a dystopian novel. So during this period, it's not just about making peace but also standing up for what is fair and right. It's like realizing you should've been recycling your pizza boxes all along.

But don't be surprised if you find yourself as indecisive as a cat in front of two identical cardboard boxes. Mars is itching to act, but Libra wants to ponder over every decision like it's choosing a new Netflix series to binge-watch. So remember, while Mars dances this celestial tango in Libra, let love, fairness, and a dash of nerdy humor guide your steps.

And just to keep it scientific, Mars is precisely 378644613.742127717km away. I mean, not that anyone's counting or anything.

Pluto

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 15 Tau 03' 37", moving backwards at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 631128647km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

"Hoo boy, buckle up stargazers, because Jupiter has just belly-flopped into Taurus and it's going to be quite the cosmic ride! Let me break this down for you in my nerdy, astrological lingo. Jupiter, that big ol’ gas giant, is our solar system's resident guru, doling out wisdom like your favorite college professor - only with more stripes and less tweed. And Taurus? Well, Taurus is that chill friend who's always content with a cozy blanket, a good book, and a large pizza all to themselves. So what happens when these two collide? It's like a cosmic clash of Netflix and philosophy. Yes, my dear friends, Jupiter in Taurus is a celestial invitation to deep-dive into the couch cushions of your soul. The answers you're seeking aren't in some far-flung corner of the universe. They're nestled between your Netflix binges and your favorite take-out orders. This planetary pairing is also breathing some serious life into your dreams and goals. You know that ambitious 5-year plan you've got scribbled on a napkin somewhere? It's time to make it happen. Jupiter's going to pump you full of growth energy, and Taurus is going to give you the stubborn persistence you need. You're not just reaching for the stars, my friends. You're building a ladder to them. And let's not forget about the moolah! Jupiter is the galaxy's lucky charm, and Taurus is all about the Benjamins. This combination could see you laughing all the way to the bank. But be warned, Taurus loves a bit of indulgence, and Jupiter can blow things out of proportion. So maybe don't invest all your savings in that deluxe, gold-plated pizza oven just yet. In short, embrace this time of spiritual self-discovery, goal fulfillment and financial growth. But remember, don't binge on the cosmic pizza of life too much, or you might end up with a Jupiter-sized bellyache!"

Pluto

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 01 Pis 59' 03", moving backwards at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 1325649420km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Great Scott! It seems our beloved ringed planet, Saturn, has found its way into the watery depths of Pisces. Now, you might be wondering: "What does this mean for my daily grind?" Well, buckle up! We're about to embark on a cosmic journey that could make even Marty McFly's head spin. Saturn, the galactic overlord of rules and structure, waltzing into Pisces, the zodiac's dreamy, ethereal artist, is like Spock deciding to take up interpretive dance. It's unexpected, to say the least. But fear not, fellow stargazers! This cosmic collaboration is not as chaotic as it seems. Think of it as a celestial brainstorming session, where Saturn is your stern project manager and Pisces is your quirky creative director. Saturn in Pisces is saying "Hey buddy, you've been daydreaming about opening that vegan bakery or publishing that sci-fi novel for ages, now it's time to put those plans into action!" So, grab a notepad, pull up your comfiest chair, and get ready for some serious cosmic coaching! However, don't expect this transit to be a walk in the park. Saturn, being the taskmaster it is, won't hesitate to poke and prod at your dreams. You may feel like your personal space has been invaded by an interstellar dad who's all about tough love. But, before you put up "No Trespassing" signs around your dreams, remember - Saturn's guidance is like that annoying software update notification: pesky, but ultimately beneficial. Now, with all this mental activity, you might find yourself tossing and turning at night. After all, Pisces is the sign associated with sleep and dreams. The solution? Embrace your inner hippie! Meditate, go for a forest bath, take a nap (but keep that dream journal handy), and make sure to get a full night's sleep. You might even consider hitting the hay a bit early, just to give your brain some time to unwind. So, fellow cosmic voyagers, heed the wisdom of this Saturn-Pisces transit. It's all about turning dreams into reality. And remember, as Doc Brown once said: "Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one."

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 50' 09", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2845369335km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: The Cosmic Bull Meets the Mad Scientist

Grab your space helmets, folks, because we're about to go on an interstellar rodeo! Our cosmic cowboy, Uranus, just sauntered into the paddock of Taurus, who's as reliable as a well-worn pair of Levi's but also as stubborn as an old mule who missed his morning coffee. Now, Taurus is a creature of habit and loves a good routine, much like my grandmother and her soap operas. But guess what? Uranus didn't come to play by the rules. No siree, this planet is all about shaking things up, faster than a mischievous poltergeist rearranging your furniture.

Now, Taurus has a bit of a 'thing' with money, like Scrooge McDuck swimming in his vaults, and Uranus entering Taurus is going to revolutionize our piggy banks and maybe even make them fly. During this seven-year cosmic sleepover, we might see money do the cha-cha-slide right out of traditional banks into digital wallets or perhaps even trade places with chocolate bars. Who knows? We're talking Uranus level unpredictability here!

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like that zany aunt who visits once in a while and makes you question everything. She'll have you rethinking your relationship with money and material possessions. You know, those shiny baubles we hoard hoping they'll fill the void but end up just collecting dust. It’s a perfect time to Marie Kondo your life, folks!

This transit is here to liberate us from our financial shackles - be it debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, or mortgages. So, resisting these changes is as futile as trying to keep a cat from knocking things off your table. But don't worry, as unsettling as these changes may sound, they're here to bring about stability in the long run, much like eating your veggies for dinner.

So buckle up, dear earthlings, for this cosmic ride with Uranus and Taurus is bound to be one wild, enlightening and perhaps slightly weird journey. And remember, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, it's all just a blip. Now go forth, and rock the universe!

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 26 Pis 11' 40", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4323945333km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, fellow stargazers and seekers of cosmic truth - or at least, those just trying not to trip over their own shoelaces on this crazy dance floor called life. Our good buddy Neptune has packed his bags and is currently Airbnb-ing it in the mystical realm of Pisces. Now, before you start checking Google Maps, let's clarify: Neptune is still a comfortable 4.3 billion kilometers away, so no need to set an extra place at the dinner table. When Neptune goes retrograde, it's like he's taken a break from his usual day job as a planet to pursue a side career in stand-up comedy. His material? Our own contradictions and petty differences. "What's the deal with humans caring about who has the better smartphone?" he might jest. "Don't they know we're all made of stardust?" Take it from our comedian in the cosmos, folks, it's high time to focus on what unites us, rather than what divides us. Neptune's vacation in Pisces is like an interstellar alarm clock, nudging us awake to explore our emotional intelligence. It's encouraging us to take that online course in meditation, or maybe even create a personal sanctuary at home, complete with mood lighting and your favorite succulents. Neptune in Pisces is the ultimate spiritual self-care package, reminding us that, like the perfect cup of herbal tea, we each have something unique and soothing to contribute to the world. So, buckle up, star-children! With Neptune in Pisces, it's the perfect time to dip our toes into the cosmic pond and make waves with our individual talents. And remember, when in doubt, just ask yourself: What would Neptune do?

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 27 Cap 58' 28", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5139903814km away and receding.

Pluto In Capricorn: The Cosmic Rock Showdown

Alright star gazers, listen up! The mighty dwarf planet Pluto is currently doing the cosmic cha-cha in the sign of Capricorn, and it's about 5139851556.336641312km away. Yes, I checked my space odometer. That's far enough to make any long-distance relationship feel like a breeze.

Now, both Pluto and Capricorn happen to be type-A personalities in the celestial yearbook. They're the "Most Likely to Succeed" and "Least Likely to Accept Failure" kind of guys. These two are all about success, power, and getting things done...even if it means steamrolling over other people's feelings and ideas. So, if you find yourself suddenly channeling your inner Simon Cowell, don't panic; it's just the Pluto-Capricorn effect making you a tad more critical than usual.

But here's the silver lining. Pluto's not just about being a cosmic bulldozer; it's also the universe's Marie Kondo, encouraging us to discard what no longer sparks joy in our lives. It's all about shedding those old, negative patterns that have been dragging us down. Sure, it might involve a bit of emotional demolition, but hey, who said spring cleaning was solely for your wardrobe?

So, as we navigate this Pluto in Capricorn season, remember to be mindful of what (or who) you decide to metaphorically bulldoze. Keep your sledgehammers aimed at the walls of self-limitation and not at others' sandcastles. And remember, folks, it's okay to be a bit of a science nerd and a hippie at the same time. After all, we're all just stardust navigating this cosmic dance. Happy stargazing!

Sun Opposite Neptune

Confusion, uncertainty, and delusions of grandeur characterize this transit. Be alert for deception. Avoid becoming the martyr today just because your self-confidence may be low. Don't buy into every sob story that comes your way and don't play the "poor, poor pitiful me" game. Be careful with contracts. In general, be prepared for any kind of possible misunderstanding.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Neptune often struggle with a desire to be something special or to experience something more than the ordinary. They are day-dreamers and idealists. It is easy for these people to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the outside looking in as unsavory types. They are looking to identify with something beyond what is normally expected of people.Most have in common a childhood that didn’t help the natives direct or define their lives. Perhaps the early family life was lacking in supervision or clearly defined rules. A father figure may have been absent or distant and ineffective. Many people with these aspects have a glorified image of their fathers. Whether the image is very positive or very negative (or if it swings between these extremes), the image is not very clear or rational. Whatever the case may be, these people struggle with defining who they are. They might gravitate towards the “wrong people”, or get in with the “wrong crowd” in an attempt to define who they are. They might be susceptible to being taken advantage of by others, especially by men or authority figures. They can be easily led astray by peculiar desires or self-destructive habits. In order to add a greater-than-ordinary dimension of experience to their lives that helps them to feel special and important, they might be attracted to Neptune-ruled behaviors, such as secret affairs, drugs, or other escapist behaviors. In some way, these people feel a strong urge to glamorize their role in the world. In extreme cases, the natives are completely deluded. However, in most cases, there is simply some confusion about the past (such as remembering childhood experiences in ways that are far removed from reality), and a tendency to daydream about being someone more “important” than they assume they are. They may struggle with early conditioning that made them feel tossed aside or neglected in some way, and certainly not directed and supported.These people are very sensitive, especially with regards to any real or imagined blows to their ego. If the natal chart shows a strong sense of reality and a robust mind (Mercury and Saturn well-placed, for example), the negative interpretations of this aspect are less extreme. Still, the natives are likely to recognize at some point in their lives that they have a tendency to engage in escapist and self-destructive fantasies and/or habits. It is useful to be able to connect these behaviors with their probable source, which is likely to be a weakly-defined ego and identity in childhood.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Anjelica Huston, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Cameron Diaz; Oppositions – Sheena Easton.

Sun Trine Pluto

You can make important changes in your life and in yourself today. The force of your will and the perception to see what needs changing combine to give you the ability to do whatever is required. Regeneration is possible in any area of your life. Change that bad habit, eliminate what is unnecessary or outmoded. You have the force with you today. Group activities can be especially rewarding today as you can help make the groups' goals a reality. People in authority are receptive to changes today. Lay that new idea on them.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. These people are not much scared of anything. They enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the psychological kind. They love a good mystery, and they are adept at solving it. Many people with these aspects feel they have a “calling” or destiny. They readily assign meaning to what others might consider “ordinary” events. They look for symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly.Others tend to respect those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they are usually quick to help others–not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Their insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. These are perceptive people who are not easily rattled or surprised in life. They are not do-gooders, and they are unlikely law-breakers. However, they are not afraid of the “dark side” of human nature, and they will bend the rules from time to time if they feel the need to do so. Many take particular pleasure in growth and life’s lessons. They are not fond of superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. Some experiment with their powers to deceive at some early point in their lives, but generally grow in their strength and integrity. In fact, many do their best to rid themselves of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to at times. These people are passionate and can be intense. They have a hunger to experience more than just an “ordinary” life, and they can be quite ambitious. Some are perfectionists, demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty from others.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon the talents of this aspect when necessary, and those with the trine have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Famous People with Sun in easy aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Christina Aguilera, Lisa Bonet, Bob Dylan; Trines – Ed Asner, James Caan, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Susan Dey, Sam Donaldson, Chris Evert, Bette Midler.Note from Annie: I have perhaps used more words to describe Sun-Pluto aspects than I have with other planetary aspects. This is because I grew up with astrology books that offered rather dire and extreme descriptions of the aspects. Because of this, I had problems identifying with the interpretations of my own Sun conjunction Pluto as being “power-hungry”, “dominating”, and “controlling”. Some descriptions suggested an attraction to crime. Except in extreme cases, Sun-Pluto people are not extremists hell-bent on destroying or dominating everyone around them. However, they do need to come to terms with their “dark side”, their intense fears, and their tendency to be very self-protective. A more humane and psychological approach to defining the aspects can be found in many modern astrology books, and I think it is very beneficial, especially since one of the main challenges to overcome with Sun-Pluto is for the rational ruler of light (the Sun) to identify with the energies of the ruler of dark (Pluto). Nobody benefits if descriptions of the aspects are so extreme that they are quickly dismissed as “wrong”.

Venus Sextile Mars

Harmony in social activities is highlighted today. Activities with the opposite sex are enjoyable and rewarding. Romance is in your blood. Show someone you care for them. They will appreciate your sharing your feelings. Clean your house and do that redecorating you had planned. Make your surroundings more beautiful.It is easy for these people to attract attention of the positive kind. They radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm on some level that others appreciate. Not inclined to try to cover up their flaws, these people have a way of presenting themselves in a straightforward manner, and their ability to admit their mistakes and their fumbles only adds to their charm. They find it easy and natural to get along with both sexes quite equally. They possess considerable creative talent, but whether or not they use it is dependent on other factors. They may take their own talents for granted and often need some kind of stimulus or encouragement to do something with them. One of the reasons for this is the fact that their creativity comes so naturally to them that they may be surprised when others recognize their talents. Similarly, they usually possess athletic ability and may need some encouragement to develop it.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 Venus and Mars have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report — Actively creating harmony and beauty through your work, art, or with people is part of what you are here to do. You have developed a harmonious coordination between the masculine and feminine energies within yourself; thus, you combine strength with grace, power with elegance, decisiveness and effort with pleasure, passion with tenderness and sensitivity. You have a romantic soul.Some positive expressions of this pattern might include athletic activities that have an aesthetic appeal, such as figure skating, or artistic endeavors that are active, such as performing dance or opera singing.Actively bringing people together in some way, for mutual pleasure and benefits, is also one of your gifts.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Mars: Sextiles – Pamela Anderson, Shannen Doherty, Ian Thorpe, Harry Belafonte, Kirk Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Jane Curtin, Matt Damon, Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford, Erich Fromm, Crispin Glover, Elliott Gould, Amy Jo Johnson, Bob Newhart, Molly Ringwald, Robin Williams; Trines – Melissa Anderson, Jason Bateman, Pierre Cardin, Natalie Cole, John Coltrane, Mick Jagger, Ann Jillian, Billie Jean King, Marilyn Manson, Joe Montana, Bonnie Raitt, Eva Mendes, Britney Spears.

You will probably overindulge yourself today, with regrets later. This is true both with eating and spending. A distinct laziness may overcome you and you will want to be pampered. Self-discipline is needed in order to avoid trouble now or later. Others may think you are too spoiled. Don't procrastinate.These people are big-hearted and warm, with open hearts and a tendency to want to give a lot to the people they love. They can have some problems with following through on their promises, however–not because of any ill intent, but because they sometimes overestimate their personal capabilities, and want to do more, and give more, than is actually possible. At distinct times in their lives, they have a tendency to live beyond their means. They need to be cautious about the tendency to feel overly-optimistic or overly protected. Borrowing from their future and overdoing their indulgence in pleasures is a marked tendency. While people with the conjunction, sextile, or trine between Venus and Jupiter express their bigheartedness, tolerance, generosity, and magnanimity in a generally constant and natural manner, these same expressions for those people with the square, opposition, and quincunx between these planets tend to be problematic at times. Their need for growth, good humor, and fun in their relationships is marked, as is their disdain for insincerity. However, they may attract just those kinds of people simply because they are looking so hard for these traits that they assign them onto undeserving people!Moderation is the most important, and perhaps challenging, lesson in these people’s lives.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report — Your sense of form and harmony extend into the important relationships of your life. You seek a strong philosophical connection to match the physical passion. Faithfulness is a key factor if your relationship is to support your spiritual growth, and trust has to work both ways in the partnership.Some Famous People with the Venus in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Jason Alexander, Pearl Buck, Julia Child, Joe Cocker, Sean Connery, Alice Cooper, Billy Corgan, e.e.

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.
