The Sun

Solar activity reached moderate levels with an M1.7/Sb flare at 07/1806 UTC from new Region 3460 (S11E35, Axx/alpha). Associated with the flare was a Type II radio sweep (598 km/s) and a possibly related CME off the SE limb in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 07/1948 UTC. Based on its location and trajectory, it is unlikely to have an Earth-directed component.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.

Solar wind speed decreased from approximately 375 km/s to near 315 km/s. Total field ranged from 3-6 nT while the Bz component was between +5/-4 nT. Phi angle was mostly positive.

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

Moon Is In Leo

Alright star gazers, dust off those telescopes, because your celestial traffic report is in and the Moon is currently parked in the fiery lane of Leo. That's right, our lunar buddy is chillin' 403,244.298451839 km away in the cosmic neighborhood of the king of the jungle. And let me tell you, when the Moon saunters into Leo's territory, things are bound to get a little... dramatic. Think Broadway spotlight meets high school science fair. You know how it goes: one minute you're excitedly explaining the intricacies of your homemade volcano to a bored classmate, the next you're belting out "The Circle of Life" atop a desk, wearing a cape fashioned from the chemistry lab's safety curtain. With the moon lounging in Leo, expect to have a flair for the dramatic, a sudden fondness for capes (or was that just me?), and an irresistible urge to be at the center of attention. You might even find yourself narrating your own life in the third person. Don't fight it, just roll with it. It's like Shakespeare once said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players," or in this case, all the galaxy's a stage and we’re just trying not to trip over the props. And remember, while the Moon might be a colossal 403,244.298451839km away, its influence can still hit you harder than a rogue asteroid. So, embrace your inner diva, don your best celestial attire, and take center stage, my fellow stargazers. After all, there's no business like show business... or was it astrophysics? Well, either way, break a leg! Or a comet... just be careful out there.

Mercury

Mercury is in Libra

Mercury is prograde at 05 Lib 45' 31", moving at 1.77 degrees per day, and is 196029928km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Libra

Greetings, fellow stargazers and interstellar enthusiasts! Guess what? Our speedy little friend Mercury has taken a vacation in Libra. Now, I know you're probably thinking, "Hey, isn't Mercury that near-boiling, tiny rock right next to the sun?" And you'd be right! But in astrological terms, it's also the planet that rules communication, so buckle up, because we're in for some cosmic chit-chat! Now, Libra is all about one-on-one relationships. It's like the universe's relationship counselor, always trying to keep the peace and send positive vibes. So, when Mercury lands in Libra, it's like your mom walking in on you and your sibling fighting and saying, "Can't we all just get along?" Yeah, that sort of vibe. This is a great time to patch up any misunderstandings, grudges, or long-standing feuds with everyone—be it your annoying coworker, that friend who always eats the last pizza slice, or even your pet cat who seems to think your favorite couch is a scratching post. So, take a deep breath, channel your inner diplomat, and make peace, not war! But beware! Libra has this nasty habit of being too nice. And while we love our balanced Libra, its over-eager diplomacy could lead to sugar-coating truths and avoiding conflicts just to keep the peace. Remember, honesty is the best policy—even if it comes with a few disagreements. Disagreement is not the end of the world; it's just the beginning of a negotiation. So here's the bottom line: embrace the beauty of compromise, consider others' perspectives, and don't be afraid to express your true feelings. After all, you're under the influence of Mercury in Libra—it's like having a celestial permission slip to speak your truth. Just remember, do it with love and respect. Happy stargazing!

Venus Is In Leo

Well, strap in, space cadets! The planet Venus, that hot mama of love and beauty, has just sashayed into Leo's territory. You know, Leo? That zodiac sign that can't resist a mirror and has a flair for the dramatic? Yeah, that one. And when Venus sets foot in Leo's living room, you can bet your telescopic eyepiece that things are gonna get interesting!

Now, a fair warning to all you wallflowers out there: Venus in Leo is not for the faint of heart. This is a cosmic cocktail of love on steroids - we're talking grand gestures, public displays of affection, and love letters written in the sky. Subtlety? Ha! As likely as a black hole deciding to go on a diet. So, if you're an introverted Virgo or a cautious Capricorn, you might want to buckle up. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!

But here's the thing about Venus in Leo: it doesn't just want to be loved, it wants to be ADORED. We're talking standing ovations, fan clubs, the whole nine astronomical units. You thought Leo was a drama queen before? Just wait until Venus gets into the mix. And if you dare to ignore them? Well, let's just say you'll wish you were on the business end of a supernova explosion instead.

When it comes to money, Venus in Leo treats it like a prop in its Broadway show. It's not about saving or investing, it's about making a statement. Think big, flashy gifts, surprise trips to exotic locations, and maybe even a gold-plated rocket ship or two. But remember, it's not just about spoiling yourself - Leo loves to play Santa Claus, so don't forget to spread the wealth!

So, what's the takeaway from this celestial event? Well, Venus in Leo is a reminder to let your love light shine. To make bold moves, to turn heads, and to live life like it's a blockbuster movie. Sure, it can be a bit over-the-top, but hey, isn't that what makes it fun? So go ahead, grab your popcorn and 3D glasses, and enjoy the show!

Mars in Libra: The Cosmic Dance of the Warrior Planet and the Diplomatic Sign

Hey there, star gazers! So, Mars is currently putting on its fancy shoes and waltzing into the sign of Libra, a whopping 381,020,254.382932365km away. Yeah, that's right, I looked up the exact number. Nerdy much? Definitely. Now, if you find yourself suddenly craving balance like a tightrope walker over Niagara Falls, you've got Mars in Libra to thank for that.

With Mars being the planet of get-up-and-go and Libra being all about harmony and one-on-one relationships, you might find yourself paying extra attention to your partnerships. You'll be noticing what's working like a well-oiled machine and what's looking as clunky as my 1982 Commodore 64. Seriously, it's a miracle that thing still boots up.

But here’s the thing, folks. We're all peace-loving hippies with Mars in Libra. No one wants to upset the apple cart, but sometimes, you gotta check if those apples are still good. Keeping quiet about issues to maintain peace? That's like ignoring the 'low battery' warning on your laptop in the middle of a Zoom meeting. Not cool! Instead, use this cosmic energy to talk about those difficult topics with grace, love, and maybe a bit of quantum physics thrown in, just for fun.

Now, Libra is also the sign of justice, so don't be surprised if you feel like a cosmic knight errant ready to battle for equality. Mars in Libra might make you feel more indecisive than Schrödinger's cat, but remember, if your actions are filled with love, intention, and fairness, you're totally on the right track. Or the right galaxy, if you will.

So, strap in, cosmic voyagers! The journey with Mars in Libra might be filled with a little more diplomacy and a little less impulsivity. But hey, in this crazy cosmic dance we call life, isn't it nice to slow down and make sure we're twirling in the right direction?

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus: A Tale of Cosmic Hide and Seek

Holy spaceballs, folks! Put on your comfy pants and grab a telescope, because Jupiter has parked itself in Taurus as if it's decided to take a sabbatical. It's like Obi-Wan Kenobi taking a break in Tatooine - only instead of dodging Tusken Raiders, we're trying to navigate our life goals. Talk about a plot twist!

Now, Jupiter is our wise old sage of the solar system, always pushing us to think deeper and broader, while Taurus prefers to chill in its comfort zone like some cosmic couch potato. So what happens when these two meet? Well, it's like having Yoda whispering wisdom in your ear while you're elbow deep in a bag of chips. Suddenly, you realize that 'the Force' isn't something out there in the galaxy far, far away, but right here, within you. It's just been drowned out by the noise of everyday life and crunchy snacks.

This Jupiter in Taurus saga is a golden opportunity to make some serious strides towards those dreams you've been hoarding like a Jawa with a cache of spare droid parts. Jupiter's all for growth and expansion, and with Taurus being as stubborn as a Bantha, you've got a foolproof recipe for making progress. Just remember to trust the process and keep your eye on the prize (not the pizza).

When Jupiter is in Taurus, prosperity can skyrocket faster than the Millennium Falcon on hyperdrive. Jupiter is our go-to for good luck, and Taurus practically has dollar signs in its eyes. It's like finding a loot box full of credits in your path. But don't get carried away; Taurus can love indulgence more than Jabba loves dancing Twi'leks. With the expansive Jupiter in the mix, it's easy to confuse needs with wants, like wanting a new speeder when your old one works just fine.

So, in conclusion: let's use this time to channel our inner Jedi, look introspectively and make wise decisions. And remember, as Obi-Wan would say, "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck" - it's all about making the right choices! May the Force (and Jupiter in Taurus) be with you!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 01 Pis 07' 23", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 1348447654km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings, stargazers and cosmic adventurers! Today, we find the Ringmaster of the solar system, Saturn, doing a backslide—or retrograde, as us astro-nerds like to call it—into the dreamy depths of Pisces. Now, I could go all science on you and tell you that Saturn is approximately 1,348,388,406.877750874 kilometers away, but let's face it, who's got a ruler long enough to measure that? Instead, let’s focus on what this means for all you Earthlings. Saturn in Pisces, my friends, is like having an unexpected cosmic audit. Remember those dreams you've had about scribing the next bestseller or launching your own start-up? Well, the Universe is knocking at your door, clipboard in hand, asking, "So, how's that going?" It's time to dust off those dreams, dear ones, because Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, is here to make sure you’ve dotted your I's and crossed your T's. And trust me, you don’t want to disappoint the big guy! Now, I get it. Having Saturn peering over your shoulder can feel a bit like having Captain Picard in your living room, demanding, "Make it so!" But remember, folks, even though his stern demeanor might give you the jitters, Picard always has the best interests of the Enterprise at heart. And so does Saturn. It may be tough love, but it's love nonetheless. This celestial shuffling might keep you up at night, tossing and turning in your Starfleet-issue pajamas. But fear not, my friends! This is the perfect time to put on your favorite Grateful Dead album, take a stroll in the moonlight, or meditate on the mysteries of the universe. And if you find yourself dreaming of interstellar voyages, make sure to keep a dream journal by your bed. Who knows? Your midnight musings might just be the next big idea! So, buckle up, space cadets! With Saturn in Pisces, it's time to boldly go where no man—or woman—has gone before. To your dreams, that is! Wishing you clear skies and happy star trekking!

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 26' 09", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2816446118km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: The Bull Meets the Rebel

Alright, astrology nerds, grab your telescopes, a strong cup of cosmic coffee and brace yourselves, because our maverick friend Uranus has parked itself in the usually placid fields of Taurus. And it's a bit like inviting the Mad Hatter to a tea party. No, seriously, imagine inviting a guy who thinks he's a planet to a bullfight. It's going to be a wild ride!

Taurus, that comfy couch potato of the zodiac, is all about stability, routine, and that old-school vibe. But here comes Uranus, the universe's resident punk rocker, throwing cosmic confetti everywhere and yelling, "Surprise!" Taurus might prefer binge-watching Star Trek reruns, but Uranus is here to say, "Beam me up, Scotty, it's time for change!"

Now, let's talk money, honey! Taurus knows the ins and outs of finance like Sheldon Cooper knows physics. With Uranus in town, don't be surprised if we start trading in alien currency or Elon Musk coins. Banks may start resembling sci-fi movies, and the stock market could swing more than Spider-Man on Red Bull. Even Bitcoin might say, "Dude, take a chill pill!"

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like Gandalf shouting, "You shall not pass... without reassessing your financial habits!" We all could use a little liberation from the chains of credit card debt, the ever-looming tax monster, and the black hole of rent and mortgages. Now's the time to pull a Marie Kondo on our materialistic tendencies - if it doesn't spark joy (or financial stability), thank it and send it packing.

Resistance to change? Futile. Just ask the Borg. Uranus is here to shake us, stir us, and serve us a cocktail of transformation. And guess what? This cosmic mixologist's concoctions might just bring us the stability we crave. So, buckle up, my stargazing friends! Change is coming, and it's dressed like a hippie at a science convention. Embrace it!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 45' 50", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4332238760km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Hello, fellow celestial voyagers! I hope you're all buckled in because it looks like Neptune's taken a detour into Pisces. And let me tell you, this isn't your usual Sunday drive around the cosmos. This is kind of like when you've misplaced your glasses and you suddenly find them... on your head. Only here, instead of eyewear, we're talking about a planet - a planet that's 4,332,215,871.701924324km away (give or take a few kilometers). And it's not just sitting there, no siree! It's gone full retrograde, spinning its wheels backward like a hipster riding a fixie. What does this mean for us down here, trying not to trip over our own feet? Well, think of Neptune in Pisces as your spiritual GPS, guiding you through the fog of life's trivialities and helping you to realize that arguing over whether pineapple belongs on pizza (it doesn't, by the way) is as useful as using a chocolate teapot. We're talking about a time when our emotional compasses align with our cosmic sextant, illuminating the path to unity and dispelling the notion that we're all just random atoms bouncing around. It's like a cosmic group hug, only without the awkward body contact. What can you bring to this celestial shindig? Well, that's entirely up to you. Maybe you've got an idea for a new dance move that combines the Macarena with the Floss. Or perhaps you've been dreaming about opening a bookstore that exclusively sells sci-fi novels written by cats. Whatever it is, Neptune's giving you the thumbs up (or, you know, whatever equivalent planets have). So, dust off those dream journals and start doodling those vision boards. Or if you're more the quiet contemplative type, why not create a sacred space at home, like a shrine to your favorite Star Trek character (I'm team Spock, by the way)? Neptune in Pisces is all about exploring the depths of our spiritual submarines and sharing those deep-sea discoveries with the world. So whether you're a newbie stargazer or a seasoned cosmic voyager, remember: as long as you keep your eyes on the stars (and not on your phone), Neptune has your back. Or rather, your orbit. Happy voyaging!

Pluto

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 27 Cap 53' 37", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5179758426km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

"Listen up, fellow star-gazers. You know that tiny, icy planet-which-isn't-really-a-planet that's chilling out around 5.2 billion kilometers away? Yep, that's our buddy Pluto. And right now, it's doing a little cosmic two-step with Capricorn. It's like watching a celestial tango, if you're into that sort of thing. But here's the kicker: both Pluto and Capricorn are notorious Type-A personalities. They're the bosses of the zodiac, the power-suit wearing, latte-sipping, to-do-list-ticking-off overachievers. So, if you think you've been feeling a tad more ambitious than usual, well, you're not going crazy. It's just the universe doing its thing. Now, before you go drafting up your 5-year plan or plotting to take over the world, remember this: Pluto and Capricorn are also notoriously bad at playing well with others. They're so focused on getting results that they can sometimes forget there are other people in the room. So, take a breath, look around, and maybe listen to someone else's ideas for a change. Who knows? They might even have a point. Ah, and one more thing. Pluto, despite its icy exterior, is all about getting rid of the old to make way for the new. It's like the Marie Kondo of planets. If it doesn't spark joy—or, in this case, work for you—it's time to say goodbye. But remember, destruction can be a messy business. So, be careful what you burn to the ground, okay? You might just need it later. So, in conclusion: Stay focused, stay open, and don't be afraid to shake things up. After all, as they say in the far reaches of the cosmos, 'What's the worst that could happen?'"

Venus

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 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 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. Remember, you will reap what you sow. Respect the rights and ideas of others. Try to see things their way and give them the benefit of the doubt.This is a powerful aspect in a natal chart suggesting, in your life time, you very often see extremes of behavior and experiences, or go through crises more than most. You may be no stranger to violence or abuse. You learn through your experiences self-control and self-awareness so that you are better equipped to deal with these extremes. You are wonderful to have around in times of crises, as you can quickly take the lead and you can be undaunted when it comes to defending or helping those you love. Your desires are deep, intense, and sometimes troubling. At times, you seem to attract strong opposition, perhaps because your own nature is rather provocative. You are a natural-born fighter. You can also be quite driven to find answers, and you make a good psychologist, analyst, and investigator. Compulsive behaviors should be watched carefully, as they can consume you and lead you to risky endeavors and difficult scenarios. There can be a strong desire to be in control. You have a tendency to impose your will upon others, which can cause severe problems for yourself when they react in self-defense. You have a hair-trigger temper and may even resort to verbal or physical abuse when upset. Learning to react to unpleasant circumstances with your intellect rather than your emotions comes with maturity. It’s also possible that you experience many extremes in life, and that you are on the receiving end of difficult tempers more than most.It is all too easy for you to find something negative about a situation. Avoid issuing ultimatums when you meet an obstacle. Instead, find a way to convince others to work with you of their own free will. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you.You do not easily tolerate a dominating attitude in others. You have a healthy respect for power and authority, but only if it is handled fairly.This aspect gives you a somewhat Scorpionic attitude toward your lovers, and it can modify the traits associated with the sign of your Mars considerably. In other words, there is a distinct possessive and demanding streak in your sexual nature. Your approach to love and sex can be quite intense at times. Your sexual desire nature is a very strong one, and you may even use sex as a bargaining chip in your relationships in order to achieve your goals. More likely, however, is a very focused and intense sexual nature. This also adds a very magnetic quality to your appeal. When a woman finds you attractive, it can transform into a near obsession! Your aura is strong and somewhat mysterious. You tend to come across as stronger than you intend. In fact, some people are intimidated by you, and you may not understand why this is so. When you want something (or someone!) you are very determined. For you, it can be “all or nothing”. When you are finished with something, you leave it behind you and there is no going back. You want a deep, soulful attachment on a sexual level. In your love life you do not take rejection well. You fear betrayal and abandonment, and this can skew your perception of your lover. You have a highly developed sex drive, but you must learn to rein in your aggressiveness in this area. Power struggles and control issues may surface often in your relationships. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him Report.#You perceive the cruel edge in people, and understand its source. As you deal with your own ruthlessness, you learn how to respond to it in others without risking your physical well-being. Self-confidence develops out of self-control in your interaction with others.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Pluto: Squares – Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Lee, Mel Gibson, Jeremy Irons, Patrick Swayze. Oppositions – Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, Kirstie Alley.

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.
