Solar activity returned to low levels this period. Region 3480 (S08E27, Dao/beta-gamma) remained the most magnetically complex region, but did appear to be losing its intermediate spots. It remained fairly active, but only produced low-level C-class flares. The largest flare of the period, a C9.3, originated from just beyond the NW limb, likely from old Region 3472 (N21, L=339). Region 3477 (S14E04, Cko/Beta) also exhibited signs of decay, losing most of its peripheral spots, and remained inactive. The remaining regions on the visible disk were unremarkable.
The solar kp index is active, reinforcing retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
Solar wind parameters began the period moderately enhanced as effects from the 03 Nov CME lingered. Total magnetic field strength decreased from a peak of 18 nT at the beginning of the period to ~6 nT by the end. The Bz component began the period mostly southward, with a maximum deflection to -15 nT. It then began to fluctuate between +/- 10 nT before turning mostly north by the end of the period. Solar wind speeds began the period in the low 400 km/s range, but increased several times to reach peaks near 600 km/s, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, and ~800 km/s, as measured by the ACE satellite. Aside from an approximately 3 hour period early in the day, Phi has remained mostly in a negative orientation.
There is a 29% chance of solar activity, with a 40% chance of a minor event, a 30% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
The waning moon is currently in Virgo, at 05 degrees, 16' 11", at a velocity of 11.84 degrees per day.
The Third Quarter moon is currently 23.8 days old. It is 405489.62 km from the centre of the Earth.
The next new moon is at 9:27:15, 13 Nov, 2023. The next full moon is at 9:16:41, 27 Nov, 2023.

Moon Is In Virgo
Greetings, Earthlings and other cosmic entities tuning in! Let's get this celestial shindig started. Today, we're talking about Moon in Virgo, which is currently 404,474.179874916 kilometers away. I'd say "you can't miss it", but well... you literally can't. It's the Moon. Its position in Virgo suggests that now is an ideal time for cleaning. And when I say cleaning, I mean EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!... your clutter, not your neighbor, okay? We're channeling our inner Daleks here, not becoming them. Also, remember, the Daleks are a bit on the clean freak side, so if you find yourself obsessively organizing your sock drawer by color, pattern, and degree of elasticity, don't worry! That's just the Virgo energy talking. Now, with the Moon this far away, one might think it doesn't affect us much. But, oh, how wrong that assumption would be! Much like how the Wi-Fi signal weakens the further you move away from the router, the Moon's influence may seem less potent, but trust me, it's there. You just need to refresh your spiritual browser a few times! This is a time of precise attention to detail, my friends. A time to analyze, organize, and--if you're really feeling the Virgo vibes--alphabetize. So, buckle up, put on your nerdiest glasses, and turn your OCD (Obsessive Cosmic Disorder) to eleven. The Moon in Virgo isn't just a phase, it's a lifestyle. Remember, it's all in good fun and celestial harmony. Keep your telescopes clean, your star charts updated, and as we say in the astrology biz, may the force be... wait, wrong franchise. I meant, keep looking up! Peace out, stargazers!

Mercury Is In Scorpio
Greetings, cosmic wanderers! Now, listen up, because Mercury has decided to shimmy its way into Scorpio and things are about to get very interesting. Imagine Mercury, the messenger of the gods, donning a trench coat and fedora, playing detective in the dark alleyways of the zodiac. The planet has gone prograde, which is just a fancy way of saying it's moving in the same direction as most other planets. So, no worries, we're not dealing with a rebellious teenager here. Mercury in Scorpio is like your brain pulling an all-nighter on a true crime documentary binge. Suddenly, you're second-guessing everything, even that two for one pizza deal. You're digging deeper, asking the hard-hitting questions, like why does toast always fall butter side down? And let's not forget about the existential crisis that may come when you realize that your socks do indeed vanish into a black hole inside the washing machine. But be warned, my star-crossed friends, because in this celestial game of Cluedo, there's a risk of stepping on some intergalactic toes. You see, Scorpio is the zodiac's enigma, its secrets guarded tighter than a hipster's skinny jeans. Push too hard for truth and you might end up with a cosmic cold shoulder that makes Pluto's surface feel like a tropical vacation. On the bright side, Mercury in Scorpio isn't all doom, gloom, and suspicious glances at your barista. It could also bring about some heart-to-heart chats that are usually reserved for late-night deep dives after a couple of glasses of wine. This might be the time you finally figure out if your cat really loves you or if it's just using you for food. Deep, right? So buckle up, stargazers! As we traverse through Mercury's journey in Scorpio, remember to keep an open mind, don't be afraid to ask the tough questions, and maybe double-check that pizza deal... it might be too good to be true.
Venus
Venus is in Virgo

Venus Is In Virgo
Greetings, interstellar voyagers! Buckle up your space boots and grab your cosmic calculators, because we've got a celestial situation on our hands! Venus, that sultry goddess of love and beauty, has parked herself in the meticulous and discerning constellation of Virgo. This cosmic combination is like Spock at a love poetry slam -- logical, analytical, and unexpectedly romantic. With Venus whirling her way through Virgo, you might find yourself turning into a romantic robot, viewing love through the lens of a high-powered telescope instead of rose-colored glasses. You’ll start to see that perfect love isn't about candlelit dinners, moonlit walks, or some Hollywood rom-com scenario but more like a well-oiled machine that needs regular oiling, fine-tuning, and perhaps a bit of rust removal. For those already entangled in the cosmic dance of love, this is your chance to pull out your relationship toolbox. Get your screwdrivers ready to tighten any loose bolts, and don’t forget the WD-40 for those squeaky parts. It's time to really sift through the nuts and bolts of your love life and ask if you're truly getting what you deserve. And if you’re single and ready to mingle, fret not! Venus in Virgo will give you the superpower to detect red flags faster than a quantum computer can process data. Now, I know all this talk of analysis and scrutiny might sound as sexy as a lecture on quantum physics, but fear not, my cosmic comrades. Venus in Virgo can turn even the most mundane into a passionate pursuit. Sure, we might be a tad more conservative during this transit, but that doesn't mean we're trading in our passion for prudishness. Remember, love under Venus in Virgo may not be a wild, fiery affair, but it's a steady, reliable kind of love -- the kind that lasts. So, whether you're a cosmic couple or a solo star traveller, remember to keep your eyes on the skies and your heart open to the mysteries of the universe. After all, with Venus in Virgo, love is not only written in the stars but also in the fine print.
Mars
Mars is in Scorpio
Mars is prograde at 17 Sco 54' 34", moving at 0.7 degrees per day, and is 379942093km away and approaching.
Mars Is In Scorpio
Greetings, celestial voyagers! Time to strap on your space boots and buckle up, because today we're jetting off to the red planet, Mars, which is currently taking a leisurely swim in the deep, dark waters of Scorpio. Mars, our stellar symbol of drive, ambition, and the uncontrollable urge to win at Monopoly, is currently about 380 million kilometers away (give or take a few thousand kilometers for those who like precision). With Mars in Scorpio, it's like we've all been given cosmic espresso shots - we're brimming with energy, determination, and a newfound "my way or the highway" attitude. Compromise? Pfft, what's that? Mars in Scorpio gives us the backbone of a prehistoric T-Rex, making us feel like the captains of our own spaceship. Try to control us? Oh, honey, you've got a big storm coming. But wait, there's more! Scorpio, the mysterious deep-sea diver of the zodiac, isn't afraid to dive into the uncharted territories of our psyche. It's like having your very own soul-searching submarine. This could be your golden ticket to self-discovery and transformation. However, remember folks, with great power comes great... well, potential for disaster. Fiery Mars in watery Scorpio can feel like trying to barbecue underwater – it’s either going to fizzle out prematurely or blow up in your face. We might find ourselves going zero to Hulk in 3.5 seconds flat, causing unnecessary conflicts or making our relationships as frosty as Pluto. The key here is to channel that Martian energy wisely. Think of it as your personal lightsaber – use it to cut through those psychological cobwebs and not to start a galactic war. In conclusion, Mars in Scorpio is like a spiritual boot camp with Mars playing the role of a drill sergeant who's got a Ph.D. in psychology. It might get intense, but remember, it's all about mastering our inner Darth Vader and elevating ourselves to Yoda-like wisdom. So, buckle up and enjoy the ride, space cadets! The cosmos is your playground.
Jupiter

Jupiter Is In Taurus
Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Bull in the Galactic China Shop
Listen up, folks! Jupiter, the big cheese of our solar system, has decided to take a vacation in good ol' Taurus. Imagine a Buddha-like figure trying to squeeze into a bull costume and you'll get the picture. This is like the Universe’s version of a slow-motion reality show, where wisdom meets stubbornness, and we all wait with bated breath for the inevitable sitcom-esque shenanigans.
Jupiter is all about growth and expansion, but Taurus? Well, Taurus likes to take things slow and steady. So, if you're feeling the urge to compile a to-do list longer than the Star Trek series and spin-off episodes combined, don't fret! It's just Jupiter and Taurus playing cosmic chess with your ambitions. Just remember – Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Death Star.
Now, let's talk money. Taurus loves its cash and Jupiter is, well, Jupiter - the bringer of luck and fortune. So, there's a pretty good chance that the cosmic till might ring-a-ding-ding in your favor. But beware, this isn't a free pass to splurge on that lightsaber replica or life-sized Spock cutout you've been eyeing. Taurus may be indulgent, but even a celestial bull knows when to say "no".
So, as Jupiter takes its leisurely stroll through Taurus, let's all remember to balance our inner Yoda's wisdom with our outer Wookie's impatience. Take time to sniff the roses, maybe even plant a few. Remember, it's not the destination, but the journey...even if that journey is 596418437.952623725km long and in retrograde.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 00 Pis 31' 16", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1411365942km away and receding.
Saturn Is In Pisces
Hello cosmic voyagers! Today, we're spinning around the cosmic dance floor with Saturn shimmying its way into Pisces. This is like having that one stern professor from college appear in your dreamiest daydream. And I mean, who invited this guy? But before you pop your personal space bubble and toss him out, hear me out. Just imagine, for a moment, that Saturn is a seasoned life coach in a tie-dye t-shirt. Yes, you might initially feel like he's about as welcome as a mathematician at a poetry slam, but trust me, he's got some good stuff to say. This is the perfect time to dust off those dreams you've been keeping in the attic of your mind. You know the ones I'm talking about. The book you wanted to write, the business you wanted to kick-start, the band you wanted to form – now's the time to bring them out into the daylight. Sure, it might feel a little like Saturn is playing the role of an invasive houseguest, rifling through the closets of your subconscious, but remember - he's just trying to help. He's here to show you that those daydreams of yours aren't just idle fantasies, they're potential realities. So take out your celestial notepad and jot down everything this cosmic coach has to say. But let me warn you – Saturn in Pisces might give you some sleepless nights. It's like having a buzzing alarm clock in your head that won't quit. So take this chance to cultivate some inner peace. Go hug a tree, meditate on a mountaintop, or just chill with some chamomile tea. And hey, if you're feeling a little restless, why not try going to bed early? Maybe even keep a dream journal by your side. Who knows, you might wake up with the next great American novel scrawled in your sleepy handwriting. So buckle up, star gazers. With Saturn in Pisces, we are all in for an interesting ride. Remember to keep your minds open and your hearts ready for the wisdom this transit has to offer. And remember, no matter how many light years away it may seem, your dreams are within your reach. Now go forth and conquer!

Uranus Is In Taurus
Uranus in Taurus: The Cosmic Shake-Up
Alright, fellow star gazers, grab your space helmets and buckle up because Uranus, the celestial rebel, has parked its cosmic caboose in the tranquil pastures of Taurus. Yes, you heard it right. The planet named after a Greek god of the sky who was also the grandfather of Zeus is hanging out in the sign of the Bull - and boy oh boy, this could turn into a sci-fi rodeo!
Now, Taurus is the astrological version of your old uncle who likes to sip on his herbal tea while solving crossword puzzles in his favorite armchair. He enjoys the status quo, the comfort of routine, and the calm of stability. Throw in Uranus, the surprise party enthusiast, and you can imagine the kind of chaos we're talking about. It's like the universe decided to give Taurus a surprise visit from a hyperactive, unpredictable relative. But hey, change is the only constant in the universe, right?
And where does Taurus love stability the most? That's right, in their piggy banks. Uranus, however, has different plans. During its seven-year-long tour in Taurus, we can expect a revolution in our financial systems. Think of it as changing your regular dollars into Galactic Credits or even Schrute Bucks (for all you Office fans). Banks might face a cosmic audit, and the stock and housing markets could be in for a roller coaster ride. Strap in, folks, it's going to be a wild ride!
On the personal front, Uranus in Taurus is like a financial guru urging us to cut the strings attached to material possessions. Debts, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages - these are the cosmic chains that bind us. The good news is, Uranus is here to play the role of intergalactic locksmith. Resisting the change? Well, that's about as effective as trying to stop a meteor shower with an umbrella.
Remember, fellow star wanderers, the change brought by Uranus may seem turbulent at first, but it can lead us to a state of greater stability. It's like a cosmic reboot for our financial and material world. So, let's embrace this change with open arms and a sense of humor. After all, we're all just stardust navigating this grand cosmic journey together.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune Is In Pisces
Oh, well smeg me sideways! Neptune in Pisces, eh? Now that's a cosmic cocktail that'll send your neurons on a joyride. Picture this - you're in the middle of an interstellar rave, Neptune's the DJ and Pisces is the dance floor. And let me tell you, that dance floor is about as predictable as a quantum flux generator on the fritz! Neptune, you see, is the cosmic equivalent of that friend who always tries to get you to join their yoga class. It's all about connecting, unifying, becoming one with the universe and other hippie claptrap. Pisces, on the other hand, is the emotional equivalent of a supernova - bursting with feelings and spiritual energy. When these two come together, it's like watching a science experiment gone hilariously wrong - or right, depending on how you look at it. You start seeing through the fog of your own contradictions like a pair of x-ray specs from a comic book ad. You might even start caring less about trivial things like whether your socks match or if your favourite series got cancelled (curse you, TV execs!). But wait, there's more! This celestial duo is practically issuing you a golden engraved invitation to explore your inner Spock. That's right, it's time to dust off your emotional tricorder and start scanning for those unique gifts and ideas you've got stashed away in your cerebral lockbox. There's no better time to pick up that course in Vulcan mind-melding or build your own home TARDIS. Who knows, you might just find what feels sacred to you and start sharing it with the world. Just remember, in the immortal words of the great Professor Hawking, "It wouldn’t be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love." So, go forth, explore, connect, and always keep your sense of humour handy. Neptune in Pisces is here to support you, in its own weird and wonderful way.
Pluto
Pluto is in Capricorn
Pluto is prograde at 28 Cap 04' 19", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5258977094km away and receding.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Pluto's Playdate with Capricorn
Alright, stargazers! Grab your pocket protectors and strap on those safety goggles, because things are about to get all kinds of cosmic. Our little dwarf buddy Pluto has decided to take a tour in the neighborhood of Capricorn. And let me tell you, this is not your average interstellar sleepover!
Now, Pluto and Capricorn might seem like they're the nerds at the astrological lunch table, always plotting their next step to universal domination. But let me remind you, these two aren't just power-hungry, they're efficiency addicts. They're like the kid who finished their science project three weeks early and still managed to build a fully functioning model of the Large Hadron Collider... out of toothpicks.
Under this cosmic transit, you might find your compassion for differing viewpoints slipping away faster than the speed of light. So, be careful not to turn into an astrological autocrat, dismissing other's ideas like they're as irrelevant as the ninth decimal place of Pi (sorry, 9!). Remember, variety is the spice of life... and the universe!
Pluto, our tiny celestial overachiever, is all about chucking out the old and bringing in the new. But there's a catch - this isn't a simple spring cleaning, we're talking about a garage demolition level of change. So, as you set out to create your new reality, be explicit about what you're willing to let go. You don't want to accidentally junk your favorite Star Trek memorabilia in the process.
So, stargazers, as Pluto takes a stroll through Capricorn, remember to stay open-minded, embrace change, and above all, keep those Vulcan salutes high!
Current Planetary Aspects
Current Planetary Positions
The Sun
Sun Conjunct Mars
You should have lots of energy and vitality today. Go out and get some exercise. Be careful not to get into arguments with your superiors or with people in authority, like policemen. Avoid confrontations that involve your ego. Instead, channel the energy and potential hostility into something creative like your favorite hobby. The important thing is to express yourself in a constructive manner. How about playing in the park with a group of children? Do not overexert yourself or put too much strain on your heart. This means controlling your temper. Anger is one of the hardest things on your heart. Don't lay out in the sun too long. You may burn easier today than normal. Watch yourself around the stove or anything hot. Focus on being humble. Put your ego in the backseat.
The Sun
Sun Opposite Jupiter
Today will be one of optimism and self-confidence. Your only danger is in becoming over-confident. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch the tendency towards self-aggrandizement, false pride, and over-indulgence in food and drink. Don't overspend.
Although their intentions are generally good, people with challenging aspects between the Sun and Jupiter are given to overdoing things. They can easily gloss over realistic details and get themselves into debt, overindulge in pleasures such as food and drink, and promise more than they can deliver.
For the most part, they find help for their excesses. Somebody’s there to bail them out, as plenty of people believe that their hearts are in the right place. Generally, this is the case, but if excessive behavior becomes a pattern, and the natives continually face light consequences, there is the danger that they will not learn from their mistakes and abuse the “system”, relying on their friends and family to help them out a little too often. Their reputation for being good people, thus, can eventually be used to further their purposes.
However, many people with this aspect don’t fall into the trap of losing their sincerity. They are generous, helpful, and charitable. Still, the tendency to live beyond their means is a real threat that many struggle with much of their lives. Another thing to watch for is depression. These people tend to go through periods of intense highs when they are excessively optimistic. These periods are so marked that they seem to be unnatural and a fall seems to be inevitable. They can make promises they intend to keep, but have a problem with follow-through. Self-control can be a real problem. Usually quite knowledgeable and generous with their time, these people have many talents that they may take for granted.
Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Billy Crystal, Ian Scott Anderson (Jethro Tull), Nell Carter, Edgar Cayce, Linda Goodman, George Lucas, the Olsen twins, Dolly Parton, John Ritter, Oscar Wilde; Oppositions – Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges, Monica Lewinsky, James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner.
Alternate interpretations:
Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.
Sun opposition Jupiter: Children with this aspect often need to learn to listen, because they may have a tendency of doing the opposite of what they are told! Basically a positive placement indicating enormous energy and radiance, the pitfall of the Sun/Jupiter opposition is overconfidence manifesting as a tendency to take on too many projects at once or a tendency to delve into projects without prior training. There is a tendency to think “I can do anything!” which is fine as long as the child is willing to go through the necessary training to get there! He could get carried away when it comes to vocational choices, following rainbows! This going against himself, so to speak, may also bring him in opposition to those in authority. Help him examine carefully the choices he makes. Insist he finish what he begins, and insist he promise only that which objectively can be fulfilled. Teach your child the importance of right timing and punctuality! Check the nature of the signs and houses that the Sun and Jupiter are in for greater insight in balancing the qualities of this polarity. — Interpretation from the Child Star Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: You aim high, dream big dreams, and have a tremendous sense of what is possible for you to achieve. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility, and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be your faults. Generally, however, your great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success. Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation, suits you well. — Interpretation from the Merlin Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: Sometimes you’re prone to unrealistically high expectations, and this in turn can cause frustration when real life doesn’t measure up.
Your optimism and self-confidence will go through periods of being exceedingly high, making you feel invincible. You’ll experience more satisfaction if you take the time to think things through and proceed with patience and even a certain amount of caution. — Interpretation from the Your Life Path Report.
Mercury
Mercury Trine Neptune
Today is a day for wishing upon a star and imagining that your most heartfelt dreams can and will come true. Idealism is high and you are both inspirational and imaginative. Your visualization powers are effective and strong. Somehow, you just know things today. Trust your intuition. Do some spiritual study. Listen to some inspirational and uplifting music.You are creative, perceptive, and imaginative. You draw heavily on your imagination and intuition to come to conclusions and make decisions. You easily sense the thoughts and feelings of others, and you are adaptable in your communications as you pay attention to how your words are received. You express yourself with subtle flair, sensitivity, and perhaps some charming quirkiness. You have an appreciation, and perhaps talent, for photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. You are naturally open to metaphysical or spiritual concepts. You might believe in things that others discard, and some with this position at least seem a little naive or childlike. Many of you have psychic ability, or at least very good hunches.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 Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Brad Pitt, Fred Astaire, Drew Barrymore, John Cleese; Trines – Vanessa Redgrave, Michael J. Fox, Tammy Wynette, Oscar Wilde, Shirley Temple Black, Robb Thomas, Mia Farrow, Meryl Streep.Venus
Venus Opposite Neptune
You may be deluding yourself today especially where relationships are concerned. You are probably thinking with your heart rather than with your head and this can lead to all sorts of trouble. You may be too willing to sacrifice too much for your loved one. Things are not as they appear regarding affairs of the heart and you would do well to keep your feet on the ground. Avoid wishful thinking and unrealistic fantasies. Stop playing the martyr.This aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being “in love with love” is a strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It’s hard to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low. On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviors in their partners that others wouldn’t accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships. Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work.The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves them when in reality that person doesn’t return the affection. Or, they may cling to a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit. Yet another Venus-Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus-Neptune people are drawn to victim/savior relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or savior! Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and eventually feel used.The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them “safe” from a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their own vulnerability in love.Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or account for their belongings. They may have problems with “borrowing from their future” because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest in unrealistic projects.Alternate Interpretations:^In square aspect to Neptune, your Venusian expression takes on an otherworldly quality. Your yearning may be for that perfect lover whose spirituality, passion, purity of spirit and drive all stem from the highest possible level. Loving in such a manner would seem to remove you from the bondage of ordinary life and transport you into true bliss. Although this seems possible in fairy tales or movies, it’s really difficult to find those elements in another human being. You may also operate under the illusion that you must first sacrifice yourself before you are worthy of love. It’s all too easy to project unrealistic feelings onto your lover, and it is just as tempting to try to alter yourself to please a man so that he will love you. Whether those alterations are in your behavior, your appearance or your attitudes, if you submerge your real self beneath the illusions of what you feel will make you more lovable, you’re selling out. If you want to experience the ecstasy you dream about, you’ll surrender to a love which honors your real needs and learn to avoid situations where you become addicted, co-dependent, victimized or abused. Forgiving the shortcomings of the man you love is one thing; allowing him to deceive or victimize you is another! Know when and how to give help, but be careful of emotional rescue ventures!^Your projections about the man you love frequently overshadow the real person with Venus in opposition to Neptune. Even though you may not want to admit it, you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you’re in love. That feeling of being transported into another world when you’re in love is actually quite accurate. But it’s not the guy who’s gotten you there all by himself – it’s the energy inside you that allows you to soar! It’s not easy to separate your dream lover from the real person standing before you. You may always project some of your own power and tenderness onto the man you love. As long as you can allow the reality of the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because he’s the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that he is what you really need – or that he’s REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right man will be attracted to you, you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love, but when your heart is filled with love, you’re willing to drop all your boundaries and merge completely. There’s a difference between a soul connection and codependency or emotional addiction. It’s drawing the line that’s difficult. By allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional boundaries reasonably intact.Alternate, short interpretation: Venus square Neptune or Venus opposition Neptune: *You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to discover that no real, flesh-and-blood human being ever quite lives up to your dream image of the Perfect Love. Though you frequently fantasize about love and romance, you may avoid becoming intimately involved with anyone or making definite commitments. You can be evasive and dishonest with yourself and others, when it comes to love. Some of your love yearnings may be expressed through art, music, or an involvement with mysticism.#Sexual relationships tend to arouse your idealistic nature and may have little foundation for a long-term relationship.

Your emotions are deep and powerful. As they say, still waters run deep. Today might be a good day to redecorate or make other changes to your home with the hope of bringing greater beauty and harmony into your life. It's a good time to find new uses for old or discarded items which no longer serve your purposes. Emotional self-regeneration is possible with these energies.
