Solar activity decayed to low levels with flare activity observed from Regions 3489 (S16E42, Dai/beta), 3492 (N18E64, Dhi/beta-gamma) and 3493 (S12E69, Hax/alpha). The largest flare of the period was a C7.7 observed at 21/1352 UTC from Region 3492. The large number of regions in the NE makes analysis difficult, but most of the regions appear stable at present. Region 3490 (N20E36, Cao/beta) and old Region 3497 at N16E50 were combined into one region numbered 3490. New, rapidly growing Region 3498 (S11W26, Cao/beta) was numbered this period. The remaining four spotted regions were quiet and stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
NOAA reports a Minor Solar Storm! Retrograde effects are moderately increased. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
The IMF was enhanced with possible positive polarity CH HSS effects. Total field strength peaked at 13 nT at about 21/0630 UTC while the Bz component ranged from +6 nT to -13 nT. Solar wind speed gradually increased through the period from about 290 km/s to near 390 km/s at about 21/1230 UTC. Since then, wind speeds were steady at about 365 km/s. The phi angle was in a mostly positive orientation.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 20% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Alright, cosmic voyagers, gather 'round because the Moon is doing the backstroke in the celestial pool known as Pisces and it's going to make some waves. Now, don't get your space pantaloons in a twist, it's all part of the cosmic ballet. So, listen up – the Moon has clocked in at a cool 369884.295316310km from Earth. I mean, sure, it sounds like a lot, but in cosmic terms, it's just a hop, skip and a wormhole away. But remember, distance in space is like a vegan at a barbecue – it doesn't really mean anything. Now, you're probably sitting there thinking, "What does this mean for my star sign?" Well, dear listener, Moon’s sojourn in Pisces is like a cosmic group hug. It’s time to embrace your inner dreamer, let your emotions flow like a pop song chorus, and swim in the deep waters of your imagination. But don't get too comfortable in your floaties, because our lunar friend is about to switch gears. In the next 24 hours, it's shimmying out of Pisces and into the fiery embrace of Aries. And we all know what that means – no, not that you should start wearing flame-resistant clothing – it's time to charge forward with determination. Think of it like a game of cosmic pinball where you're the ball - it's fast, it's unpredictable, and it'll probably involve blinking lights. So, whether you're a Virgo who's forgotten how to chill or a Sagittarius who's been procrastinating on that intergalactic road trip, now's the time to dive deep, fish out those dreams, and then launch them into reality faster than a photon torpedo. Remember, the stars may guide us, but it's up to us to steer the spaceship. So, strap in, put on your favorite nebula-patterned socks, and get ready for another thrilling ride through the cosmic roller coaster that is our universe. Peace out, star children!

Mercury in Sagittarius: A Geek's Guide to Cosmic Chatter
Alright, stargazers, grab your pocket protectors and strap on your telescopes. Our pint-sized planetary pal, Mercury, has parked its cosmic caboose in Sagittarius. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Does this mean I should finally start that macramé project?" Well, possibly, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Mercury, the celestial chatterbox, is all about the details. It’s like that friend who insists on reading the entire instruction manual before assembling an Ikea bookshelf. Sagittarius, on the other hand, prefers the bird's-eye view. It's more interested in what color to paint that bookshelf than how to put it together. So, when these two sync up, we're talking a perfect blend of micro and macro, folks!
With Mercury in Sagittarius, you can expect a dash of enthusiasm sprinkled over your communications. Think passionate debates over Star Trek episodes, grand plans for time-traveling DeLoreans, or even just some confident messages in your DMs. But remember, my fellow earthlings, keep your logic goggles on! Don’t let your excitement lead you astray into the black hole of misinformation.
Now, Sagittarius is represented by the Archer, the cosmic Indiana Jones if you will. This means possibilities are as vast as space itself! It's prime time for planning that trip to Comic-Con, contemplating quantum physics classes, or maybe even applying for that dream job at NASA. Just don't forget to think before you beam up your words. The last thing you want is to accidentally declare your love for Jar Jar Binks because of a slip of the tongue.
So, as Mercury continues its prograde slog through Sagittarius, remember: keep your mind open, your speech checked, and maybe... just maybe, start that macramé project. Because, why not? It's a big universe out there, folks!
Venus
Venus is in Libra
Venus is prograde at 15 Lib 29' 08", moving at 1.14 degrees per day, and is 136420686km away and receding.
Venus Is In Libra
Well, strap on your jetpacks, Star Wars fans, because Venus is currently parked in Libra faster than the Millennium Falcon makes the Kessel Run! Picture this: Venus, our cosmic Carrie Bradshaw, sipping cosmos in the city of Libra, a realm known for its balanced, charming, and diplomatic nature. This celestial alignment resembles Leia and Han's relationship, minus the intergalactic war and carbonite freezing part, of course. With Venus lounging in Libra, it's less about fiery, passionate love, and more about a calm, diplomatic, and balanced approach to relationships—think more Princess Leia convincing Han Solo to join the rebellion, less lightsaber duels. Now's not the time to pull a Darth Vader and force-choke your problems; instead, let's find balance like Yoda levitating rocks on Dagobah. The love equation during Venus in Libra isn't like calculating hyperspace coordinates—it's not 50/50, but rather 100/100. If there's imbalance, it'll stick out like a Wookiee at a Stormtrooper convention. But fear not, my young Padawans, this transit also grants us the grace and cooperation of a Jedi council meeting, allowing us to work together to restore balance to the Force... I mean, our relationships. But remember, Venus and Libra aren't just about love—they're also all about aesthetics. Think of it as having Lando Calrissian's sense of style: smooth, classy, and always on point. While Venus is in Libra, it's time to invest in that new Ewok fur coat or freshen up your starship's interior with some Endorian plants for that extra touch of confidence and pleasure. In conclusion, Venus in Libra is a time to channel your inner Leia: strive for peace, cooperate with your Wookiee co-pilot, and love with all your heart. Remember, the Force...I mean, Venus in Libra, is with you. May it guide you to a harmonious and balanced transit!

Mars in Scorpio: The Stellar Unleashing of Your Inner Jedi
If you've been feeling like a Star Wars character stuck in the Dagobah system, don't worry, the Force is about to get real. Mars is currently doing its cosmic tango with Scorpio, and this means things are about to get interesting, and by interesting, I mean like a quantum physics lecture with Stephen Hawking interesting.
Our red neighbor, Mars, has decided to bunk with Scorpio for a while, and let's just say, he’s not a considerate roommate. He doesn't do dishes, he blasts his music late at night, and he certainly doesn't care about your opinion. Translation? You're feeling the urge to grab life by the controls and steer your own spaceship. It's like the ultimate intergalactic backbone implant, making you feel like Captain Kirk on a good day. If anyone tries to take the command chair... well, may the Force be with 'em.
This celestial alignment is like a caffeine shot for your willpower. You're not just open to exploring the dark side of the moon, you're setting up a lunar base there. Your drive to change, powered by the afterburners of Mars in Scorpio, might make you seem as aggressive as a Klingon at a peace treaty signing. Just remember, this could potentially ignite conflicts that last longer than a box set marathon of Doctor Who. Choose your battles wisely, my friend.
Are you ready for a spiritual boot camp? Because that's what Mars in Scorpio feels like. You're in the middle of a cosmic training montage, developing your personal power faster than a supercomputer can calculate pi. But beware! There be dragons here in the form of power struggles, grudges and an inability to forgive. To navigate these treacherous cosmic waters, you’ll need all your courage, discipline, and willpower.
So, buckle up, space cadets! This ride might be bumpy, but remember: in the words of the great Carl Sagan, "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." With Mars in Scorpio, that something might just be you.
Jupiter

Jupiter is retrograde at 08 Tau 02' 30", moving backwards at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 605339188km away and receding.
Jupiter Is In Taurus
When The Bully of The Solar System Meets The Bull
Well folks, it's official. Jupiter, the big cheese of the solar system, has decided to take a vacation in Taurus, the zodiac's equivalent of a chill-out lounge. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Isn't Jupiter that overbearing cousin who talks too loud at family reunions?" Well, yes. But when he's hanging out in Taurus, he's less "overbearing cousin" and more "Zen master on a spiritual retreat".
Think of Jupiter as your obnoxious roommate who suddenly takes up meditation. Sure, he's still got the energy of a hurricane, but now he's channeling it into making dreamcatchers and insightful Instagram posts instead of blasting techno music at 3 am.
What does this mean for you? Well, it's like your inner wisdom decided to take a sabbatical from being drowned out by the daily humdrum and now shouts its profound insights from the rooftop. Suddenly, you've got this urge to make practical to-do lists, put actual effort into your long-term goals, and maybe, just maybe, start a savings account.
Now, we all know Taurus, right? That indulgent, luxury-loving bull who thinks caviar on toast is a basic breakfast? When Jupiter, the planet of good luck and fortune, comes to town, expect some serious dollar signs in your eyes. But remember folks, with great power comes great...chances of overspending. So be careful not to confuse your wants with your needs, unless you want to end up living in a cardboard box eating instant noodles.
So, in a nutshell, Jupiter in Taurus is like having your cake and eating it too, but remember folks, moderation is key. And if you find yourself wondering whether to buy that gold-plated espresso machine, just remember this: Even Jupiter, with all its gaseous grandeur, knows when to dial it back.

Horoscope: Saturn in Pisces Alright, space nerds, grab your telescopes and strap on your moon boots because guess what? Good ol' Saturn has decided to take a dip in the cosmic puddle of Pisces. Yes, you heard it right! So, sit back, relax, and get ready to dive into the celestial soup. Now this isn't just any casual space swim. Saturn clocking in at a whopping 1,447,974,954.821865320km away is doing the backstroke in the ethereal waters of Pisces! And let me tell you, when the Universe's disciplinarian decides to go for a swim in the dreamy ocean of Pisces, it's not going to be all rainbows and unicorns. No, sir! Think of Saturn in Pisces as your cosmic life coach, armed with a whistle and a clipboard, ready to whip you into shape. What's that dream you've been cooking up in your head? Writing a book? Starting a business? Well, it's time to dust off those dreams and turn them into reality. But remember, this isn't a freestyle race. No, my friends, Saturn is all about strategy, planning, and discipline. So, get your pens, papers, and calculators ready, because it's time to make some detailed action plans! Now I know what you're thinking. "What if Saturn starts criticizing my dreams?" Well, let me tell you, Saturn might be the strict parent of the planetary family, but they mean well. So, keep your door open and listen to their advice, even if it stings a little. Trust me, it'll be worth it in the end. But be warned, my celestial comrades! With all this cerebral activity happening in the land of dreams and illusions, you might find yourself lying in bed, counting sheep, and ending up with a herd! So, remember to take time for some self-care. Meditate, go for long walks, practice deep breathing, and get plenty of sleep. You may even want to keep a dream journal handy. Who knows, the next big idea could come to you in a dream! So, there you have it, folks. Saturn in Pisces is here to give us a cosmic wake-up call and push us towards our dreams. But remember, my stargazing friends, the journey is just as important as the destination. So, buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is retrograde at 20 Tau 42' 33", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 2789028179km away and receding.
Uranus Is In Taurus
Greetings, Earthlings. It appears that Uranus, the celestial rebel of the Solar System, has parked its cosmic posterior in the stable and moolah-loving sign of Taurus. Well, isn't that like throwing a trekkie convention at a cowboy rodeo? Uranus is all about radical change, and Taurus, bless its bullheaded heart, is about as fond of change as cats are of water. This means we're in for a rollercoaster ride whether we've bought the ticket or not. Hold onto your hats, folks, because the status quo is about to get a Uranian kick in the pants. Now, when it comes to money, Taurus is like that nerdy kid in school who always had their lunch money in exact change. With Uranus in the mix, we're likely to see some cosmic-level financial disruption. We're talking new forms of currency (Bitcoin, meet your alien cousin), banking systems going haywire (imagine if HAL-9000 was your bank teller), and stock markets doing the twist. On a personal level, Uranus is like that wild-eyed professor urging us to question everything, particularly our relationship with money and material possessions. Ever felt trapped by your credit card bills? Or maybe your mortgage feels like a weight around your neck? Well, Uranus is here to say, "Enough of that earthling nonsense!". This is your chance to break free from financial chains and redefine your relationship with money. Resisting won't help. It's like trying to argue with gravity or convince a Star Trek fan that Star Wars is better. The changes Uranus brings might be as much fun as a surprise pop quiz in Quantum Physics, but they're designed to liberate us and lead us to a far more stable place. So buckle up and enjoy the ride. And remember, even Spock had to let his logical hair down sometimes.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is retrograde at 24 Pis 56' 44", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4408644005km away and receding.
Neptune Is In Pisces
Listen up, star gazers! Strap on your space boots and prepare for a cosmic journey because ol' Neptune's decided to shimmy its way into Pisces. And before you get all confused and think "Wait, isn't Neptune like 4.4 billion kilometers away?", don't worry, I've got my trusty telescope and nerdy know-how to keep us on track. Neptune, our distant blue buddy, is doing the cha-cha in reverse, also known as going retrograde. And while this might sound like some celestial sob story, it's actually a pretty swell time for us Earthlings. You see, when Neptune boogies in Pisces, it's like wearing glasses for the first time. Suddenly, you can see the annoying little differences aren't worth squabbling over. It's like realizing that arguing about whether Star Wars or Star Trek is better is pointless when you could be enjoying both (though we all know Battlestar Galactica reigns supreme). This cosmic dance is a call to arms, or more accurately, a call to hearts. We're all carrying something special within us, from the ability to make a mean cup of coffee to a knack for calming down cranky toddlers. Now's the time to harness these powers for the greater good. Ever wanted to learn about chakra healing or astral projection? Now's your chance! Feeling the pull towards setting up a sacred space in your house for meditation and contemplation? Go for it! Just remember to dust it occasionally; spirituality is no excuse for poor hygiene. So, as Neptune continues its groovy glide through Pisces, let's all take a moment to share our gifts, dreams, and that secret recipe for vegan brownies. Because remember, we're all in this cosmic dance together, and even the smallest step can lead to the greatest journey. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some star charts to update. Until next time, space cowboys and cowgirls!
Pluto
Pluto is in Capricorn
Pluto is prograde at 28 Cap 19' 05", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5295642268km away and receding.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Pluto in Capricorn (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dwarf Planet)
Alright, space cadets, let's talk about our buddy Pluto - yes, the "I was a planet, then I wasn't, now I might be again" one. Currently, Pluto is hanging out in Capricorn, and no, it didn't join a rock band, unless you consider orbiting the sun a rocking gig- which I totally do. Now, Pluto is about 5295591215.714963913km away (give or take a few meters), but don't let that distance fool you. This celestial body can still shake things up from all the way out there in the cosmic boonies.
See, Pluto and Capricorn have this weird cosmic chemistry, like two nerds at a Star Trek convention. They're both power-hungry go-getters - like an ambitious intern on their third espresso shot. But with all that energy, they can sometimes forget about the little things...like other people's opinions. It's kind of like when you get so focused on calculating the warp speed necessary to avoid the Romulan neutral zone that you forget to feed your Tribble. Oops!
So while Pluto is doing its thing in Capricorn, you might find yourself less patient with other views. It's like everyone around you suddenly turned into a bunch of Ferengi arguing over latinum exchange rates. The key here is to remember that diversity is the spice of life - and the Starfleet Federation - so try not to vaporize anyone with your phaser of intolerance.
Now, Pluto isn't just about crushing dreams and ignoring others. Nope, it's also about ditching what doesn't work for us. Imagine going through your starship and jettisoning all the outdated tech. That's right, it's time to say goodbye to those self-sealing stem bolts and hello to the latest in warp drive technology! Just remember, while change can be good, you don't want to eject your replicator just because it made your Earl Grey a little too hot.
So, what's the moral of this cosmic story? Embrace the power of Pluto in Capricorn but remember to temper it with a dose of good, old Federation diplomacy. And whatever you do, don't forget to feed your Tribble!

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.

You may become involved in conflicts between your need for self-expression and your duties to others. The key is to find a balance. You may tend to be selfish today and many problems can be alleviated by thinking of others first. A feeling of loneliness may come upon you today, but it's probably just that, a feeling. It's not the true state of things. Do your duty, meet your obligations, then you have every right to start thinking of yourself.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Saturn face a fair number of challenges in their lives, especially in the first half of life, in which their attempts to express their will are thwarted. There can be a persistent feeling that they don’t get what they want more often than other people around them. They can feel unlucky. Attempts to control their environment, and sometimes others, may be frequent.These people fear their own feelings of inadequacy! They want to be considered accomplished and important people, and when they face obstacles, they don’t always want to believe that they are their own worst enemy. They long to be considered important in the eyes of the world, yet they harbor fear of success at the same time. They take failures and minor setbacks to heart, and some practically beat themselves up over them. Self-awareness to the point of real self-consciousness is characteristic of Sun-Saturn challenging aspects. The truth is, nobody holds a microscope over them, except for themselves. A little setback or a faux pas needn’t be analyzed to death. Fingers needn’t be pointed. No, they didn’t make a spectacle of themselves when they made a mistake. They need to stop worrying about always being right, or appearing suave and accomplished. When they ease the pressure they put on themselves, they find that they don’t face as many brick walls. It is very much about what they feel they deserve. Deep down inside, if they let themselves truly believe that they deserve happiness and peace of mind, they will find it.When Saturn is closely connected to a personal planet, there is usually an effect of censoring going on with whatever is ruled by the planet it joins by aspect. For example, with the Moon, which rules emotions, the natives feel the need to censor their emotions and feelings, scanning them for what is thought to be frivolous. With Saturn and the Sun, there is much self-censoring going on. “I shouldn’t..” is a common censoring mechanism with these people. They feel they shouldn’t want too much. When they express egotism of any form, some part of them feels guilty. As the Sun rules our conscious mind, it does enough censoring on its own. It is the “adult” within us. Saturn, on the other hand, is more like the “parent” within us. We need parents to guide us when we are children, and to some degree as adults, but for the most part, we don’t need to be censored indefinitely–something that seems to be the case with Saturn-Sun hard aspects, except that the censoring and parenting is coming from within.Ideally, these people eventually learn that the standards they set for themselves are too high, and that may be the reason they seem to hit brick walls. They recognize that many of the restrictions they face in life are often self-created, born of a defeatist attitude. They should be aware of the tendency to choose the hardest paths to travel and/or to deny themselves some of life’s pleasures. Working on recognizing and managing these tendencies will help them to avoid the pitfalls of this combination. These people have a sarcastic sense of humor, a keen intelligence, and the ability to apply caution and strategy. The vitality may suffer, and troubles with the bones, teeth, and circulation may surface.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Harry Belafonte, Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Salvador Dali, Marilyn Manson, Oprah Winfrey, Salvador Dali, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Alec Guiness. Oppositions – Jim Morrison, Charlie Sheen, Kurt Russell.The Sun
Sun Sextile Pluto
You can make important changes in your life and in yourself today. The force of your will and the perception to see what needs changing combine to give you the ability to do whatever is required. Regeneration is possible in any area of your life. Change that bad habit, eliminate what is unnecessary or outmoded. You have the force with you today. Group activities can be especially rewarding today as you can help make the groups' goals a reality. People in authority are receptive to changes today. Lay that new idea on them.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. These people are not much scared of anything. They enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the psychological kind. They love a good mystery, and they are adept at solving it. Many people with these aspects feel they have a “calling” or destiny. They readily assign meaning to what others might consider “ordinary” events. They look for symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly.Others tend to respect those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they are usually quick to help others–not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Their insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. These are perceptive people who are not easily rattled or surprised in life. They are not do-gooders, and they are unlikely law-breakers. However, they are not afraid of the “dark side” of human nature, and they will bend the rules from time to time if they feel the need to do so. Many take particular pleasure in growth and life’s lessons. They are not fond of superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. Some experiment with their powers to deceive at some early point in their lives, but generally grow in their strength and integrity. In fact, many do their best to rid themselves of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to at times. These people are passionate and can be intense. They have a hunger to experience more than just an “ordinary” life, and they can be quite ambitious. Some are perfectionists, demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty from others.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon the talents of this aspect when necessary, and those with the trine have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Famous People with Sun in easy aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Christina Aguilera, Lisa Bonet, Bob Dylan; Trines – Ed Asner, James Caan, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Susan Dey, Sam Donaldson, Chris Evert, Bette Midler.Note from Annie: I have perhaps used more words to describe Sun-Pluto aspects than I have with other planetary aspects. This is because I grew up with astrology books that offered rather dire and extreme descriptions of the aspects. Because of this, I had problems identifying with the interpretations of my own Sun conjunction Pluto as being “power-hungry”, “dominating”, and “controlling”. Some descriptions suggested an attraction to crime. Except in extreme cases, Sun-Pluto people are not extremists hell-bent on destroying or dominating everyone around them. However, they do need to come to terms with their “dark side”, their intense fears, and their tendency to be very self-protective. A more humane and psychological approach to defining the aspects can be found in many modern astrology books, and I think it is very beneficial, especially since one of the main challenges to overcome with Sun-Pluto is for the rational ruler of light (the Sun) to identify with the energies of the ruler of dark (Pluto). Nobody benefits if descriptions of the aspects are so extreme that they are quickly dismissed as “wrong”.Mercury

The pursuit of light pleasure gives happiness today. Spend time with friends in harmonious conversation. Go see a museum or go to an art gallery. Activities involving music are favored. Artistic stimulation of the mind is the keynote today.You are polite, choosing your words with care and love so as not to offend anyone. Your tactfulness stems from a distaste for disharmony and conflict. You are not always direct and honest as a result of this desire to please, appease, and keep the peace. You are able to understand others and make a great conversationalist. You aim for fairness in your dealings with others. You have a true appreciation for the arts, and strive to achieve balance and harmony in your social relationships, your writing and speech, and your personal environment. You might do business in the areas of art, design, relationships, counseling, or beauty.Some Famous People with Mercury Sextile Venus: Walt Disney, Sylvia Plath, George Sand, Alison Moyet, Peter O’Toole, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Jerry Lewis.Mars

You must control your feelings of resentment and anger today as these feelings may be stronger than usual. Watch yourself and be careful of falls, bruises, burns, and accidents. Be cautious and take things slow today. Stay alert and do not become careless. Stay focused and organized and do your duty. Don't rail against it. It will only make things worse. Today will pass and tomorrow will be brighter, so hang in there and stop worrying.You are a perfectionist. You can pick at yourself and others unmercifully, trying to get circumstances in your life to match some unspecified standard. Your energy becomes freer to work in an unencumbered way when you recognize that you aren’t really looking to match an objective standard at all. What you want is to find some emotionally and psychologically defendable ground to stand on. The real trick in life for you is to keep moving. This is not easy since you should really only move ahead on a project after forethought or planning; your judgments tend to be colored by your fears or your momentary desires. You work very hard for what comes to you. This is unavoidable. But, you could end up working very hard for no gain. This is avoidable through balancing your drives with your responsibilities. You find that you have better health and much freer energy if you get vigorous physical exercise at least three times a week. — Interpretation sample from the In Depth report.Mars square Saturn or Mars opposition Saturn: *You work hard and patiently to achieve your objectives, persevering and continuing on in spite of difficulties and discouragement. Concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, you are able to accomplish much, but you often feel that the way is long and arduous, and that you must struggle on alone, that it’s all on your shoulders.You are capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard task master, expecting far too much of yourself. You also tend to hold yourself back, to doubt your own power and ability. You feel that you meet with great resistance whenever you try to assert yourself or take initiative. Anger and frustration can be big problems for you, especially when you try to work with other people or depend too much on others for support. You work best in solitude.#Your involvement with other people often focuses on the harshest side of human experience. You become aware of destructive energies around you and learn to overcome these difficulties. Your spiritual life can become the source of nearly inexhaustible energy. You face tests through separation.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Susan Sarandon, Claudia Schiffer, River Phoenix, Phil Hartman, Julius Caesar; Oppositions – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Brooke Shields, Darryl Hannah, George Clooney, Todd Bridges, Jean-Claude Van Damme.Mars
