Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3450 (S18W38, Eao/Beta) continued a slow trend of decay, losing trailing spots. Regions 3451 (N17W07, Dai/Beta-Gamma) and 3452 (N11W08, Eai/Beta-Gamma) showed signs of redevelopment this period as both formed new Gamma configurations, with the former also gaining new spots in its trailing and intermediate areas. AR 3451 was the main culprit of activity this period, producing multiple low-level C-class flares with a C4.7/SN flare at 05/1913 UTC being the largest of the period. Region 3455 (N25, L=275) decayed to plage. Regions 3458 (N15E03, Bxo/Beta) and 3459 (N10E65, Axx/Alpha) were numbered this period, and were relatively quiet and stable. The remaining active regions were unremarkable in comparison.

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, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected a mildly enhanced solar wind environment. Total field began the period near 7 nT, but has since decreased to 4-5 nT. The Bz component underwent an early southward deflection reaching -6 to -7 nT before recovering and becoming mostly northward. Solar wind speeds gradually increased over the course of the period, increasing from ~420 km/s to ~ 465 km/s. Phi was predominantly positive while undertaking brief excursions into a negative solar sector.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 15% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The waning moon is currently in Cancer, at 09 degrees, 13' 40", at a velocity of 12.33 degrees per day.

The Third Quarter moon is currently 21.9 days old. It is 397103.32 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 Cancer

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up your space boots because we're embarking on a celestial journey. Now, as our favorite galactic night light, the moon, parks its cosmic caboose in Cancer, things are about to get a bit, well, crabby. Worry not, it's not the "I-need-a-latte-or-I'll-implode" kind of crabby. No, no, it's the "I'm-going-to-build-a-cozy-shell-and-nurture-my-inner-self" type. Now, let's crunch some numbers, shall we? The moon is precisely 396,386.375966874 kilometers away - and yes, I counted every single kilometer myself. That's roughly equivalent to 98,939,097,491.7 RoboCop DVDs stacked on top of each other (give or take a few). Wowza! That's a lot of law enforcement! So, what does this mean for you, my star-studded compadres? Well, take a hint from our lunar friend and dive deep into the ocean of self-care. Put on some fuzzy socks, make yourself a cup of organic, fair-trade, gluten-free, vegan hot cocoa (with a dash of chili because why not), and nurture that inner spirit of yours. Remember, just like RoboCop, you too are made up of intricate parts, each requiring care and attention. So, go ahead, recharge those emotional batteries, and maybe even watch a nostalgic 80s movie or two (I heard RoboCop is a good one). Stay stardust, my friends. And remember, the cosmos doesn't make mistakes, except for that one time when Pluto was demoted. But hey, we all have our off days. Keep it cosmic!

Mercury

Mercury is in Libra

Mercury is prograde at 02 Lib 12' 56", moving at 1.77 degrees per day, and is 191241343km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Libra

Ahoy, Astro-Nerds! - Mercury is in Libra!

Well, folks, it's that time again when our cosmic mailman, Mercury, decides to take a scenic detour through the harmonious zip code of Libra. Now, I know what you're thinking - "What on earth does that mean?" Well, dear reader, it's simpler than quantum physics (though, admittedly, not by much).

Imagine a galactic high school reunion. Mercury, the planet known for its excellent debating skills and sharp tongue, has decided to drop by Libra's place for a bit. Libra, known for being a social butterfly and a champion of peace, might just be the perfect host. So, what does this mean for us Earthlings? Well, let's break it down.

The universe is essentially giving us a nudge-nudge, wink-wink to focus on our communication skills. It's like a cosmic version of couples therapy, but for everyone you know - family, friends, coworkers and yes, even that barista who can't seem to get your coffee order right. It's time to bury the hatchet, clear the air, and finally figure out how to pronounce 'quinoa' (it's keen-wah, by the way).

But beware, my fellow stargazers! While Mercury in Libra may sound like a celestial peace treaty, it's not all rainbows and unicorns. This transit might turn you into an overzealous diplomat, always aiming for fairness and balance, possibly to a fault. Remember, it's okay to rock the boat sometimes, especially if the boat is the Titanic and the iceberg is a misunderstanding that’s been brewing for ages.

Lastly, let's not forget: Libra is represented by the Scales of justice. This means it’s crucial to keep an open mind and respect differing points of view. It's like a universal reminder that life isn't a solo act. So, if disagreement is the spice of life, let's spice things up, shall we? But remember, do it with respect, openness, and perhaps a dash of humor (after all, laughter is a universal language).

So, in conclusion: Mercury is in Libra, folks. Buckle up your asteroid belts, let's get ready for some cosmic diplomacy!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 27 Leo 40' 32", moving at 0.82 degrees per day, and is 83989157km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Venus In Leo: The Cosmic Stand-Up Show

Alright folks, strap yourselves in! Venus has swaggered into Leo's territory, and things are about to get hotter than a chili pepper on the sun. Imagine Venus as the new kid on the block wearing shades and a leather jacket, belting out love ballads from a rooftop. That's right, subtlety just packed its bags and caught the next flight outta here.

Venus in Leo isn't satisfied with your garden-variety "I like you"s. Nah, it's all about the grand gestures, the love sonnets, the billboards declaring your affection. It's not enough to simply exist in someone's heart - oh no, Venus in Leo wants to be the pulsating life force within it.

Now, let's clear this up. Venus in Leo isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Just like those sci-fi flicks where the artificial intelligence suddenly gains self-awareness and causes a ruckus, Leo can kick up some drama if it feels neglected. It's the classic "If I'm not the center of the universe, then there's going to be a supernova" kind of vibe. So, remember folks, we're all in this cosmic dance together. Don't hog the disco ball!

And what about money, you ask? Well, when Venus is in Leo, it's less about piling up the coins like a miserly dragon, and more about spreading the wealth. Leo loves the shiny stuff - glitter, gold, gemstones, you name it. But the real joy comes from sharing. Think extravagant gifts that make others feel like royalty. Who knew being generous could be so rewarding?

So enjoy this vibrant, colorful transit. It's a cosmic reminder to live your life with a bit of flair and a lot of heart. Remember, a life without fun is like a telescope without stars. Pointless and oh-so-boring.

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 26 Lib 01' 27", moving at 0.67 degrees per day, and is 380841895km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Mars in Libra: The Galactic Dance

Alright folks, buckle up! Darth Vader here to tell you that Mars, the planet of drive and determination, has just waltzed into Libra, the sign of balance and partnerships. I know what you're thinking, "Vader, aren't you supposed to be choking people with the Force instead of reading star charts?" Well, even Sith Lords need hobbies, right?

Now, let's get down to business! While Mars is doing its cosmic jig in Libra, relationships are going to be in the spotlight. Like twin suns of Tatooine, they'll be hard to ignore. But fear not, we're talking less lightsaber duels and more peaceful negotiations. Yes, even I'm surprised at the lack of aggression. Seems this is one time when the dark side takes a backseat.

However, don't let the peace-loving energy fool you. It's not a time to bury your head in the sand like a bantha. If there are problems, face them head-on, but with all the grace of a Jedi Knight. This transit is all about addressing issues with diplomacy and love, which I admit, sounds more like something Yoda would say, not me.

And in true Libra fashion, get ready to fight for justice. Yeah, you heard me right. Even though Libra normally prefers chilling in the back, during this time, it's ready to fight for balance and equality. So channel your inner Skywalker and stand up for what's right!

One downside though. This transit could make you feel as decisive as C-3PO in a droid factory. Mars is eager to act, but Libra wants to weigh all options - kind of like choosing between the light and dark sides of the Force. Just remember, if you act with love and fairness, you'll make the right moves.

So grab your lightsaber and may the Force (of Mars in Libra) be with you!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 13 Tau 57' 08", moving backwards at 0.1 degrees per day, and is 611573016km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus: Cosmic Cash Cow Meets the Bull Market

Alright, space cadets, buckle up because we're about to embark on a cosmic adventure! Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, I thought astrology was just about stars and stuff." Well, my friend, it's time to broaden those horizons because we're diving into the world of interplanetary finance. Yes, that's right, celestial Wall Street is open for business!

Our big, gassy friend Jupiter – think of it as the Santa Claus of the solar system, always jovial and full of gifts - has decided to crash land in the sign of Taurus, the zodiac's equivalent to Warren Buffet. When these two get together, it's less about star-crossed lovers and more about a cosmic merger that could make even the sternest Wall Street broker smile.

What does this mean for us mere mortals? Well, in simple terms, it’s time to take those dreams you've been scribbling on napkins and actually do something with them. Jupiter's expansive vibes coupled with Taurus' relentless determination are about to turn your to-do list from a daunting mountain into a molehill. You'll be checking off goals faster than a speed-dating session at a sci-fi convention.

And let's not forget about the potential financial perks. Jupiter is like that rich uncle who always slips you a $20 bill at family gatherings, and Taurus is the cousin who invested that money in Bitcoin back in 2009. This celestial cocktail could lead to some serious prosperity, so dust off those piggy banks and start counting those pennies!

But beware, dear earthlings, with great power comes... well, you know the rest. Taurus has a bit of a reputation for indulgence. And when the planet of 'more is more' meets the sign known for its love of the finer things, we might find ourselves turning wants into needs at warp speed. So, remember to keep an eye on your impulses; otherwise, you might wake up to find you've bought a lifetime supply of avocado toast or a gold-plated hoverboard.

So, strap in and get ready for a cosmic ride that’s sure to turn your world upside down. Or right-side up. Or, possibly, sideways. It's space, after all. Nobody said it had to make sense.

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 01 Pis 12' 47", moving backwards at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 1345099810km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn In Pisces - The Piscean Puzzler Extravaganza

Well, my celestial comrades, we've got Saturn crashing the Pisces party, and it's like the universe's version of a surprise math test. Oh, joy! But fear not, because this is not your ordinary schoolyard bully, but more like that nerdy tutor who insists on making you see the beauty in algebra. Saturn in Pisces is like having your own personal Yoda, dishing out sage advice from the depths of your subconscious. It's time to unlock those secret ambitions you've been hiding away. Always fancied yourself as an author? Got dreams of being your own boss? Now's your time to shine, folks! But it's not all about scribing sonnets or building business empires. Oh no, Saturn's got bigger plans for you. It's time to tidy up that mind palace of yours. You know, the one stuffed with wild ideas, forgotten facts, and at least a few dozen cat videos. So roll up your sleeves, grab your mental mop, and let's get cleaning! However, be warned, Saturn in Pisces ain't no cakewalk. It's like having your dream journal audited by a cosmic accountant. It might feel invasive, and your first instinct might be to hang a "Keep Out" sign on the door of your psyche. But trust me, this planetary parent isn't here to scold but to support. Now, with Saturn stirring up the Piscean waters, you might find sleep elusive, like trying to catch a live fish with your bare hands - slippery and frustrating. Keep calm and carry on, my friends. It's the perfect time to embrace your inner hippie: meditate, take long walks, practice deep breathing, or even indulge in an afternoon nap (Just make sure you have that dream journal handy!). And above all, don't forget to rest! Try hitting the hay a tad earlier than usual. Give your mind the time it needs to slow down, recharge, and prepare for the next day's adventures. After all, there's plenty of wisdom to be gained from this transit. So embrace the chaos, learn from the lessons, and remember, in the end, it's all just a bit of cosmic comedy!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 29' 42", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2819611368km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: A Spock-ular Perspective

Grab your tricorders and warp-speed your way to enlightenment, because Uranus is boldly going where no planet has gone for a while - into the steadfast and tranquil realm of Taurus. Now, as an astrologer with a Vulcan's logic and a hippie's free spirit, I can tell you that this is akin to inviting a Klingon to a meditation retreat. Fascinating, yes?

Taurus, the cosmic embodiment of your favorite comfort food, relishes routine and stability. But Uranus, the celestial equivalent of a redshirt in Star Trek – unpredictable and a tad volatile – thrives on shaking things up. So, when these two forces collide, it's like replacing Earl Grey tea with Romulan ale: unsettling, but potentially invigorating.

And what's Taurus' favorite hobby? Money! No, not the paper stuff we humans use, but the universal currency of energy and resources. With Uranus sauntering through Taurus for seven Earth years (or 0.00017 Vulcan years), we anticipate a revolution in financial matters. Think about it like transitioning from gold-pressed latinum to crypto-dilithium. Exciting, isn't it?

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like the Prime Directive of the Federation: non-interference with your monetary attachments. It's time to beam up from the economic black hole of debt, taxes, and rent. This transit calls for a reevaluation of our materialistic desires, an economic 'Pon Farr' if you will. Resistance is futile. Uranus seeks to liberate us, and stubbornly clinging onto outdated modes would be illogical.

So, whether you're a human, Vulcan, or even a Tribble, embrace this galactic shift. The changes we experience can lead us to greater stability, akin to finding a habitable M-class planet amidst a galaxy of chaos. Remember, the universe is the final frontier and our journey through it should be nothing short of cosmic!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 48' 57", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4330589673km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Neptune in Pisces: A Cosmic Comedy

"Houston, we have a problem" doesn't quite cut it when you're talking about Neptune being retrograde in Pisces. That's more like "Galaxy, we need a group hug." You see, we've just traversed 4.3 billion kilometers of cosmic road trip, and our celestial chariot (Neptune) has decided to moonwalk its way through the emotional waters of Pisces. And, might I add, with the grace of a walrus on roller skates.

So what does this celestial cha-cha mean for us earthlings? Think of Neptune as the spiritual fog machine and Pisces as the ultimate feel-good guru. They're teaming up to throw us a cosmic party, and the theme is 'Unity and Emotional Intelligence: The Sequel.' The kind where everyone suddenly realizes that arguing over who gets the last slice of galaxy pie is far less satisfying than sharing it. Or maybe even baking a bigger one together!

This galactic get-together is not just about holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya' though. It's about digging deep into the treasure chest of your emotional intelligence and pulling out your unique gifts. You know, those quirky talents you hide because you think they're too "out there." Like your ability to communicate with house plants or your uncanny knack for turning pizza boxes into avant-garde art.

Now is the time to embrace your inner hippie and enroll in that crystal healing course, build a shrine to your favorite sci-fi character, or simply sit in silent contemplation with your cat. Then, find a way to share these spiritual nuggets with the world. Remember, in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just stardust trying to figure out how to human.

So, while Neptune is busy doing the moonwalk in Pisces, let's remember that we're supported in this cosmic journey. Even when it feels like we're navigating through a fog machine on overdrive. Because, in the immortal words of Carl Sagan, "We're all made of star stuff." And star stuff is pretty darn amazing.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 27 Cap 53' 50", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5174574279km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Well, star children, it's time to dust off those telescopes and wave hello to our favorite underdog, Pluto. Yes, the little celestial body that could (and then couldn't, and then could again) is hanging out in Capricorn. And let me tell you, these two together are like a cosmic power couple...Think Brad and Angelina in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith'. Pluto and Capricorn share a passion for success, productivity, and fancy black hole parties. They're the type that will ruthlessly cut to-do lists and efficiently bulldoze through any obstacle. But remember, in their quest for results, they might end up as tolerant to differing viewpoints as a Dalek at a peace rally. During this transit, we're more likely to turn into celestial Marie Kondos, with Pluto imploring us to toss out unwanted patterns like last season's galaxy print leggings. But listen! This is not just about emotional house cleaning. There's a whole cosmic DIY project going on here. You know how in 'Alien', the alien pops out of the crew member's chest? Well, imagine your negative patterns as that unfortunate crew member. You've got to let the alien (i.e., your new, shiny, positive habits) burst forth. It's messy, it's gruesome, but hey, it makes for a good story. And remember, my dear stargazers, while Pluto may be billions of kilometers away and often overlooked (I mean, who hasn't been?), this tiny spitball of cosmic rock can still shake things up. So, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Because whether we like it or not, Pluto in Capricorn is about as subtle as a supernova in a planetarium.

Current Planetary Positions

The Sun

Sun Square Moon

You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to a minimum. Try to understand others' points of view before expressing your own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.What people who were born with Sun square Moon in their natal charts want and what they need are in conflict. The Sun square Moon aspect is similar to the Sun opposition Moon aspect in this sense, but there are very notable differences. Whereas the struggle between wants and needs is mostly played out on the inside and through significant relationships with Sun opposition Moon people, Sun square Moon people tend to confront obstacles that come from the outside. In truth, the struggle is within, as it is a case of being “one’s own worst enemy”. There can be a tendency to attract challenging situations into the life as an unconscious attempt to recreate the tension of early childhood. As well, specific habits and attitudes can hamper their progress in life.These people generally have a need to achieve and accomplish something important, and they act out their internal struggle along the way. For whatever reason, these people didn’t feel needed or accepted. The clash between their parents or parent figures, if indeed there was one, made them feel unaccepted for who they were, and there can be a very real drive to prove themselves to the world (and/or to the parents). The parents may not have simply been opposite personalities, as is the case with Sun opposition Moon. It is more likely that their relationship was a continual struggle. Sun square Moon individuals internalized the tension in the cosmic air that they were born into, and felt out of place as a result. In some cases, they literally felt unwanted by one or both parents. Even if the parents didn’t clash, the early life was likely to have been over-stimulating and tense, causing the child to feel insecure.These people experience a struggle between their need for nurture and their need for independence. When they get the autonomy that they seem to crave, they feel unsupported by others. When they receive the support they crave, they feel smothered. This internal clash is most apparent in the relationships they form, especially in the first half of their lives when they may not be aware of these patterns. Confrontations and challenges are frequent–not just with romantic partners, but also on the job, with friends, and so forth. However, these people have a lot of drive and spunk. They are resilient creatures who have faced conflict and who have survived it. Although they face a struggle with fluctuating energy, they are motivated to accomplish something. Ideally, they learn through experience to accomplish something for themselves rather than to prove their worth to others.Some Famous People with Sun Square Moon: Geena Davis, Michael Douglas, Ricky Martin.People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or trine, and early relationships in particular can be challenging until the stressful aspects are recognized as an inner tension.A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge – so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun square Moon suggests an internal “war” between two equally powerful desires: the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.

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

Venus Opposite Saturn

You may feel very unloved. You may see people as cold and calculating. People's lack of sympathy may depress you to the bone today. Social, financial, and romantic problems and disappointments characterize this transit. Selfishness and a lack of consideration are probably the reasons. You reap what you sow and now is a good time to analyze yourself and your relationships. There may be difficulties and delays with respect to women in general.Giving and receiving love are not flowing and natural for people born with Venus in hard aspect to Saturn. Blockages are experienced, and love relationships may be a source of frustration as a result, until the natives learn to love themselves, and to feel worthy of love from others. Duty is often associated with love, and some might find themselves stuck in a loveless marriage, for example. Especially in youth, these people might feel awkward in some social situations, unsure of how to express affections, and fearful of rejection. Problematic Saturn positions often get better with age, experience, and practice, however! In its more negative expression, some people with this position learn to scheme in order to get what they want from a partner, or they might treat partnerships as if they were businesses.These aspects can make natives especially sensitive to “cues” that suggest they are not loved or rejected in some way. People with Venus-Saturn in hard aspect can often “expect” rejection in issues of love and care, whether they are conscious of this tendency or not. This can often lead to negative situations in love — and bad timing or the feeling of having “bad luck” in relationships.People with Venus in hard aspect to Saturn might either downplay their physical appearance or pay excessive attention to it. Either way, self-consciousness with adornments is common. Often, people with this position sell themselves short. They are not risk takers when it comes to relationships, often choosing a path that they feel is safe, even if it is an uncomfortable one. Fear of giving can also express itself through tight-fistedness with money.The key to handling these aspects is to learn to loosen up and relax. Know that you may be oversensitive to rejection — and try to gain some perspective when you feel your love is not being returned to your satisfaction. Are you truly letting love in, or is there a part of you that is scared? Could your expectations and “heaviness” in the area of relationships (you might take love more seriously than most) be getting in the way of accepting love and affection? Venus-Saturn people may have deep-seated feelings of being unworthy of love, even if they are able to rationalize and decide otherwise!Alternate interpretations: Venus square Saturn or Venus opposition Saturn: *You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, you are very cautious about becoming close to people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you. You may become romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love.#You may find that your best sexual relationships are with individuals who are significantly older or younger than yourself. The role of teacher is so significant in your life that it may pervade your love life. You will need to overcome a sense of reserve or inhibition to deepen your spiritual connection.

Mars

Mars Square Pluto

This is the time where others might impose their will on you or you on them. Your ambition is high, as is that of others. This could lead to head-butting instead of cooperation. You can accomplish a lot today, but do not do so by running roughshod over the feelings or ideas of others. Today is not the day to lock horns with the boss or those in authority. Cool your jets. How you handle opposition from others today will go a long way in determining just how successful your actions will be. Keep your nose clean today and avoid all underhanded tactics.

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.
