Moon Is In Taurus

Well, well, well, Luna has sashayed her way into Taurus, the celestial bull's backyard, and she’s a whopping 368,245.752898901 kilometers away. That’s far enough to make even the most die-hard road tripper reconsider their plans! Now, Taurus is known for being grounded, practical, and a bit stubborn. If Taurus were a character in Star Trek, it'd definitely be Captain Picard, firm and unmovable. But with Moon in town, things are about to get interesting! You see, our dear Moon is a big fan of comfort and stability, much like your favorite pair of worn-in socks. So, when it visits Taurus, it's like an epic cosmic sleepover! They order takeout, binge-watch black holes, and talk about...well, universe stuff. What does this mean for you? Expect the unexpected! You might suddenly have an urge to re-arrange your furniture or color-coordinate your bookshelf. Or perhaps you'll develop a newfound passion for knitting or an inexplicable craving for exotic Martian cuisine. Hey, don't blame me; blame the Moon and her 368,245.752898901 km distance! This cosmic alignment is also a prime time for self-care. Draw a bath, light some candles, and play your favorite Spock monologue on repeat. Embrace the cosmic energy and align your chakras with Alpha Centauri or whatever star system floats your spaceship. Remember, in the grand cosmos, we're all just stardust with dreams, caught in the gravitational pull of life, love, and the pursuit of the perfect warp speed. So, buckle up space cadets, and may the Moon in Taurus guide you to the final frontier of inner peace and self-discovery!

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury Is In Virgo

Alright, folks, strap in and grab your pocket protectors because our favorite celestial speedster, Mercury, has just parked its cosmic caboose in Virgo. Now, for those of you who might not be "in the know," this means we're about to get real nitpicky with our thoughts and words. No more fluffy conversations about the existential meaning of Rick and Morty – we're going straight for the jugular of truth! Imagine, if you will, a supercomputer on overdrive -- yeah, that's your brain under Mercury in Virgo. It's like having a PhD in everything but, you know, without the crippling student loans. This is a time when your mind is as sharp as a samurai sword, slicing through nonsense like warm tofu. Are you ready to become the Marie Kondo of your life? Because productivity is skyrocketing faster than Elon Musk can say "Mars Colony". You'll find yourself cutting out the clutter, tossing aside dead-end ideas like last season's ugly Christmas sweaters. It's all about forward movement, baby! But remember, with great power comes great... well, you know the rest. There's a fine line between being discerning and becoming a cranky old professor nitpicking every minute detail. Don't let the Mercury in Virgo transit turn you into a hyper-critical hermit, okay? In short, this is a time to refine your speech, streamline your thoughts, and maybe, just maybe, learn to express your opinions with a little more finesse. Or you know, you can just keep arguing about Star Trek vs Star Wars. Your choice!

Astrological Alert: Venus Swipes Right on Leo

Oh, my dear celestial wanderers, prepare yourselves! Your favorite intergalactic matchmaker, Venus, has just swiped right on none other than the King of the Zodiac jungle, Leo. Now, you're probably thinking, "Obi-Wan, what's this got to do with me?" Grab your lightsaber and keep reading, my friends. Venus in Leo is like a cosmic disco party. It's all Studio 54 meets Star Wars Cantina, with a dash of Ewok enthusiasm. Everyone’s strutting their stuff, boogieing down, and confessing love like they're in a 1980s power ballad. Expect grand romantic gestures, passionate soliloquies, and maybe even a Wookiee-sized tantrum or two. Now, here’s the Jedi mind trick. With Venus in Leo, it’s not enough to be admired like a well-maintained Millennium Falcon. No, no, you want to be worshipped like the Force itself. You might feel compelled to swing from the chandeliers or slide down a rainbow into a pot of gold glitter. But remember, young Padawans, while it’s fun to play Han Solo, this isn't a solo mission. Keep the "we" in mind, or you might end up flying solo in your spaceship of love. When it comes to credits (or earthly money, as you non-Jedi folks call it), Venus in Leo sees it as but a tool for spreading love and joy. Think of it as your very own Death Star, not to destroy planets, but to shower them with gifts and niceties. So, go ahead, splurge on that diamond-encrusted lightsaber or that set of golden droid figurines. Just remember, generosity is the path to the light side of the Force. In short, my star-gazing friends, Venus in Leo is like a supernova of love, passion, and fun. It's a time to rekindle your relationships, express yourself boldly, and remind yourself that life without a little bit of excitement is like a droid without a battery. So, hop in your X-wing, buckle up, and enjoy this interstellar ride. May the Force (and Love) be with you!

Mars in Libra: A Cosmic Dance of Diplomacy and Dithering

Alright, star gazers, gather 'round. Our red-headed stepchild of the solar system, Mars, has decided to crash at Libra's pad for a while. This buddy cop duo might seem a bit mismatched at first glance - kind of like Sherlock Holmes teaming up with The Big Lebowski, but trust me, it's going to be interesting.

Mars, the celestial embodiment of your aggressive uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, is currently playing footsie with Libra, the zodiac's resident diplomat who'd rather discuss abstract art than arm-wrestle. It's like Mars has been put through an intensive etiquette course, and now instead of picking fights, he's picking out matching napkin sets.

During this cosmic waltz, we're all going to feel like we're on a reality show called "Extreme Relationship Makeover." We'll be hyper-aware of our partnerships: the good, the bad, and the "why did I ever swipe right?" But beware, folks! Mars in Libra is kind of like that friend who insists "everything's fine" while their house is slowly sinking into a sinkhole. Ignoring problems won't make them disappear (unless you have a magic wand, in which case, call me).

So, while we're all channeling our inner diplomats and trying to avoid conflict like it's the office plague, remember it’s not about avoiding issues, it's about tackling them with the finesse of a prima ballerina. Think of it as a cosmic lesson in Graceful Conversations 101.

And here's the twist, folks. Even though Libra is usually as passive as a sloth on a lazy Sunday, it's ready to throw down for justice when Mars is in town. Think of it as a cosmic superhero, ready to preserve balance faster than you can say "equilibrium."

The rub? Well, Mars is all about taking action, while Libra is that friend who takes forever to decide on a restaurant. So, we might find ourselves in a bit of a procrastination pit. But remember, if your actions are wrapped in love, intention, and fairness, even the most hesitant step forward is a victory dance under Mars in Libra.

So buckle up, my celestial comrades, and prepare for some planetary peace talks

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 14 Tau 24' 42", moving backwards at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 617791793km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Well, well, well, folks! Pull out your telescopes and checkbooks because Jupiter, our beloved cosmic overachiever, is doing a slow strut through the Taurus walkway. And boy, is the universe having a field day! Jupiter, you see, is like the geeky scientist of the galaxy. It’s always pondering about the mysteries of life, trying to figure out the formula for peace, happiness, and that perfect cup of coffee. Now, it's decided to take a field trip into the realm of Taurus - the zodiac equivalent of a trust fund kid with a love for fine wines and plush velvet sofas. Picture this: our nerdy Jupiter, in a room full of velvet and gold leaf, trying to balance its natural urge to expand with Taurus' desire to sit back, enjoy the good life, and maybe eat that extra cookie. Yes, it's as entertaining as it sounds! With Jupiter in Taurus, it's like we've been given a cosmic to-do list, written in glittery ink, and a giant green light to start checking off those dreams. Want to start a business? Bam! Jupiter's got your back. Want to buy that expensive cashmere sweater you've been eyeing? Taurus says, "Go for it, darling!" But remember, while Jupiter and Taurus are cheering you on, they also remind you to be patient, practical, and maybe save some cash for a rainy day. Did I mention the potential for prosperity? Jupiter, the cosmic Santa Claus, combined with Taurus, the Wall Street mogul, could equal some serious financial gains. So, if you've been thinking about playing the lottery or investing in Bitcoin, now might be the time. Just don't forget to consult your financial advisor first (and no, your horoscope doesn't count as financial advice). However, my starry-eyed friends, remember that while Jupiter in Taurus may feel like an all-you-can-eat buffet of life's luxuries, it's important not to overindulge. Because let’s face it, the universe isn't going to pay your credit card bill. So, as Jupiter continues its cosmic cha-cha in Taurus, remember to enjoy the ride, make your dreams a reality, and maybe stash away a few pennies for the future. Because remember, my friends, the universe works in mysterious ways, but your bank account does not!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 01 Pis 27' 42", moving backwards at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 1337328329km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

When Saturn Slips into Pisces

Alright, stargazers, buckle up and hold onto your telescopes! Saturn, that old taskmaster, has decided to take a dip in the mystical waters of Pisces. If you're feeling like you've been plucked from reality and dropped into a Salvador Dali painting, don't fret, it's just Saturn doing its thing. And hey, who doesn't enjoy a little cosmic chaos?

With Saturn in Pisces, it's time to get comfortable in the realm of dreams and imagination. You know those wild daydreams you have about quitting your job and becoming a llama farmer in Peru? Or that book you've been dying to write about intergalactic space travel and alien romance? Well, now's the time to take those crazy ideas seriously! Yes, I know, it sounds as plausible as a vegan T-Rex, but trust me on this.

But beware, the journey won't be as smooth as a buttered-up otter on a Slip 'N Slide. Saturn, being the cosmic version of a strict parent, might poke and prod at your dreams, questioning their authenticity and feasibility. It might feel like being cross-examined by a lawyer with a PhD in dream-squashing. But remember, just like your nerdy science teacher in high school who pushed you to understand quantum physics, Saturn is here to help you solidify your dreams into reality.

Now, with all this cerebral action happening, you might find yourself tossing and turning at night, wrestling with your dreams like they're a hyperactive chihuahua. It's time to embrace the chill. Meditate, take a leisurely stroll through nature, practice deep breathing, or even take a power nap (but keep a dream journal tethered to your wrist!). Prioritize rest and relaxation during this transit.

And, hey, you might even want to hit the hay earlier than usual. I know, it sounds like a party at a monastery, but getting enough sleep will help you process all the deep wisdom that Saturn in Pisces is offering. So, stargazers, it's time to dive deep into the cosmic waters and swim with the celestial fishes. Happy dreaming!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 37' 54", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2828117727km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, celestial citizens! Grab your telescopes and your favourite physics textbooks, because the cosmic disco ball, Uranus, is boogying its way through the astrological nightclub that is Taurus, and this party is going to last... urm, seven years. Yes, you heard right, SEVEN YEARS! The Universe really knows how to throw a rager, huh? Now, I know what you're thinking: "Taurus likes slow jams and comfort food, not sudden dubstep remixes!" And you're right. Taurus is the cosmic equivalent of your grandma's comfy, worn-out recliner. It's all about stability, tradition, and knowing where the remote control is at all times. But here comes Uranus, the astrophysical representation of that eccentric cousin who shows up unannounced and rearranges your entire living room because "the feng shui was off." This planetary mash-up is akin to a cosmic version of Punk'd. But don't panic just yet. This isn't about causing chaos for the sake of it. It's about innovation, evolution, and shaking things up so we can see the stars from a new angle. On the financial front, Uranus in Taurus could be the start of a new Bitcoin frenzy or a total revamp of our banking systems. Imagine if banks became as obsolete as cassette tapes, replaced by something more efficient and less prone to eating your money. We might see the stock market do the Macarena, and housing could get a makeover that would make even the Property Brothers blush. On a personal level, this transit is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to reconsider our relationship with material possessions. Do you really need that 10-year-old collection of Star Wars bobbleheads? (Okay, yes, those are cool. Bad example.) But really, this period beckons us to evaluate what truly 'sparks joy' and what's just cluttering up our life. Remember, Uranus is not here to cause havoc. It's here to liberate us from the old and boring, like a celestial punk rocker with a heart of gold. So put on your metaphorical dancing shoes, and let's boogie our way into a future that's as exciting and unexpected as a plot twist in a sci-fi novel. Happy stargazing!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 56' 55", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4327226256km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Great Scott! Strap on your hoverboard and buckle up, folks, because Neptune is in Pisces, and it's about to take us on a wild ride through the time-space-emotion continuum! I know, I know, it sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but bear with me. And oh my stars, did I mention it's in retrograde? It's like driving your DeLorean DMC-12 backwards through a cosmic car wash. It's 4,327,211,402.640550613km away, and yet, it's affecting us all right here on good old planet Earth. You see, when Neptune does its groovy thing in Pisces, it's like we've been given a pair of x-ray specs that can see straight into the heart of humanity. All those petty squabbles over who left the cap off the toothpaste suddenly seem as insignificant as a speck of space dust on the rim of the cosmos. Now, you're thinking, "But Doc, what can I, a humble earthling, do amidst such cosmic chaos?" And to that I say: Embrace it! Tap into your inner Einstein, or Edison, or heck, even your inner Doc Brown! You've got brilliant ideas, boundless dreams, and a boatload of potential just waiting to be unleashed. This is your golden ticket, my friends, to hop on the spiritual Hogwarts Express. Take up meditation, or yoga, or if you're feeling particularly adventurous, why not try astral projection? Create a sacred space at home, somewhere you can connect with the universe. And then, share your thoughts and experiences with the world. Remember, the flux capacitor...I mean, the energy of Neptune in Pisces will be there to guide you. So, let's get our plutonium powered engines revving, folks, because with Neptune in Pisces, the future is whatever we make it. And remember, where we're going, we don't need roads...just a little bit of cosmic inspiration!

Pluto

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 27 Cap 54' 52", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5161831707km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Greetings, star gazers and intergalactic travelers! Now, don't go hitting the panic button just yet but Pluto - yes, that icy rock we demoted to dwarf planet status (no hard feelings, right?) - is cozied up in the house of Capricorn. You know, the ambitious, hardworking, unyielding goat of the zodiac? It's like putting Spock in charge of a Star Wars convention...interesting times ahead! Now, both Pluto and Capricorn are all about success and power. Kind of like Leia herself; they're laser-focused and efficient. However, they have the diplomatic skills of a Wookiee on a bad hair day. They could care less about other people's viewpoints during this transit. So you might find yourself channeling your inner Darth Vader and force-choking anyone who dares disagree with you. Maybe not the best approach, my friends. On the brighter side, Pluto is all about casting off what doesn't serve us anymore. Picture it as a cosmic Marie Kondo, if she had the power to blow up planets that no longer spark joy. But remember, this isn't about creating a Death Star-sized hole in your life. It's about conscious destruction. Think of it as setting your old patterns on a one-way trip to Alderaan. So strap into your Millennium Falcon, folks. It's time to let go of what no longer serves you, even if it feels like parting with your favorite droid. Just remember - be deliberate, mindful, and if all else fails, use the Force!

Mercury

Mercury Trine Uranus

Your thinking today is ingenious, original, clever, sharp, and magnetic. Electricity is in your head and probably the rest of your body. You are full of nervous energy, but it is the type that can help you accomplish more. New and exciting opportunities may come about today through travel, conversations with others, or through new reading material. Go exploring.You are open to new ideas, and come up with your own fair share of unique perspectives yourself. You have a technical bent and might take special interest in computers, technology, and science. Your intuition is very strong and mostly leads you in the right direction. You have a friendly, tolerant, and unprejudiced manner. You avoid making unfair judgments, being hypocritical, or stereotyping. You are very truthful and abhor modes of thinking that are biased and narrow. You are resourceful, witty, and quick to grasp and understand new subjects. Your thinking is often quite naturally outside of the box and very quick, and it can be baffling to you when you observe others who don’t get to the same conclusions as you in half the time. Still, you require much space and freedom to do your own thinking, and you don’t take kindly to anyone trying to force-feed you information or opinions. You are at your mental best and most cooperative when you have had the chance to find your own inspiration, and you easily feel hypocritical if you don’t–a feeling that doesn’t sit well with you one bit.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 Mercury and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Lawrence Welk, John Steinbeck, Donald Sutherland, Erik Satie, Martin Sheen; Trines – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Tracey Ullman, Marilyn Manson

Mercury

Mercury Opposite Neptune

Confusion is likely today in your relationships with other people. Take care and read all the fine print. Stay away from taking permanent legal actions as your thinking is colored by who knows what. You may be suckered into something you don't want to do or don't believe in, so watch your step. Misunderstandings in communicating with others is possible. Remember, they may not be hearing what you are trying to say. Nervous anxiety and tension may make you feel listless today. Don't let your imagination carry you away.You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering. Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on your nature. Some of you are great storytellers.Sample interpretation from the Merlin report — Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in “your own little world” a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to “read” people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Donald Trump, Jim Bakker, Mae West, Spencer Tracy, Tom Snyder, Rich Little, Jack London, Bob Dylan; Oppositions – Bono (U2), Marlene Dietrich, Richard Chamberlain, Florence Henderson, Charles De Gaulle, Christian Dior.

Venus

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.

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.

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.
