Solar activity was low with no M-class or higher flares observed at GOES-16. Region 3529 (S21W52, Eho/beta) was the largest spot group by area and the most active of the 7 numbered active regions with spots, producing isolated C-class flares. The next largest group, Region 3531 (S19W10, Cso/beta), developed a few additional spots, but remained inactive. Region 3533 (N15W09, Bxo/beta) underwent significant decay and Region 3528 (N09, L=26) rotated off the disk. The other remaining spot groups were generally stable and inactive. No new, Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

Moon Is In Cancer
Greetings, stargazers and celestial connoisseurs! River Song here, tuning in from the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey cosmos. Now, brace yourselves, my interstellar introverts: our dear old Moon has decided to make a pitstop in the realm of Cancer. Yes, that's right! The moon is doing a little dance around the crab's constellation, and it's just about 392,419.381094092km away. You know, just a quick hop, skip, and a jump across the Milky Way. Or a small step for man, a giant leap for mankind. Whichever you prefer. What does this mean for you? Well, it's like when your mum visits unexpectedly and decides to rearrange your entire flat because "the Feng Shui is all wrong". Yes, inconvenient, slightly irritating but ultimately, she means well. You see, the Moon in Cancer is all about home, comfort, and...emotions. Yes, those pesky feelings everyone tries to avoid like Daleks. You might find yourself feeling a little more introspective than usual, possibly even a bit sentimental. Maybe you'll start reminiscing about that one time you travelled to an alien planet and fell in love with a humanoid life form. Ah, good times! But don't panic! This isn't a case of "Silence will fall" or "The Pandorica will open". It's just a gentle reminder from the universe to pay attention to your emotional well-being. So, take a deep breath, channel your inner Time Lord, and navigate through this period with patience and understanding. Remember, my cosmic companions, the universe is an enormous place. And while the Moon may be in Cancer, it’s not a bad thing. Why, it's just another beautiful dance in the grand ballroom of the cosmos. So put on your dancing shoes, swirl around the emotional nebula, and remember to keep your sonic screwdriver handy! Until next time, sweeties... stay stellar!

Mercury Is In Sagittarius
Greetings, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! Now, don't freak out but Mercury, that cheeky little planet of communication, has gone and parked itself in Sagittarius - the zodiac's resident party animal and philosopher king. I know, I know... it's like Sheldon Cooper suddenly deciding to become a backpacking, vegan, yoga instructor. But don't worry, it's not all Chakra alignments and flaxseed smoothies from here on out. Mercury in Sagittarius is like a hyper-intelligent, slightly over-caffeinated elf whispering in your ear about all the grand possibilities of the universe, while also trying to solve crossword puzzles in seven different languages. You see, Mercury is all about the details - it's the astrological equivalent of that friend who always corrects your grammar. And Sagittarius? It's the wide-eyed dreamer, always looking for the next big adventure. Basically, Mercury in Sagittarius is the ultimate nerdy hippie, combining meticulous detail with a wide lens view of the world. So, you might feel an urge to plan an eco-friendly road trip, using only recycled materials and solar power, while simultaneously calculating the carbon footprint saved. Or maybe you'll find yourself passionately debating the merits of Star Trek versus Star Wars, but from a sociopolitical perspective. The key to navigating this transit is to keep your mind open, but your reasoning sharp. Don't let your excitement make you blurt out half-baked ideas or unverified facts. Think before you speak, triple-check your sources, and remember – just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it true! Sagittarius is represented by the Archer, always aiming for new horizons. With Mercury in this sign, our possibilities are as endless as the Star Wars extended universe (and yes, that includes the Ewoks). This is a great time to broaden your mind - perhaps learn Klingon, or finally start that quantum physics course you've been eyeing. So strap on your moon boots, charge up your lightsabers, and get ready for an interstellar journey of intellect and adventure. And remember, in the immortal words of Spock, "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end."

The Dance of Venus in Scorpio
Calling all you celestial voyagers out there! Our cosmic disco ball, Venus, has just sashayed her way into the moody lighting of Scorpio's dance floor. Oh, and she's not doing the Macarena. No, no...she's tangoing. This is not for the faint-hearted; it's a dance of passion, intimacy, and possibly a few stepped-on toes.
Now, Venus, our galactic goddess of relationships, is usually all about the hugs and selfies, but in Scorpio? Let's just say she's going deeper than a submarine in the Mariana Trench. We're talking about love that's as intense as a supernova and twice as hot. Be prepared for obsession levels to skyrocket - you're now more likely to binge-watch your partner than your favorite Netflix series.
You know those pesky relationship problems you've been storing away like unwanted Christmas gifts? Well, Venus in Scorpio is like your eccentric aunt who insists on opening ALL the presents. Yes, even the awkward ones. It's time to dive beneath the surface, dig up those buried truths, and throw them a coming-out party. And let me tell you, it's going to be one heck of a shindig!
But wait, there's more! Venus in Scorpio also means power struggles and financial issues are stepping into the spotlight, sashaying down the catwalk, and demanding your attention. You'll find yourself scrutinizing your partner's spending habits with the intensity of a NASA scientist examining Martian soil samples. Get ready to make some big financial decisions - it's like playing Monopoly, but with actual money.
Okay, so Venus in Scorpio might sound like a soap opera written by Stephen King, but fear not! This cosmic roller coaster also has its highs. All this intensity can lead to a bond stronger than superglue, making this a potentially transformative and sexy time. So buckle up, space travelers, it's going to be a wild ride!
Mars
Mars is in Sagittarius
Mars is prograde at 23 Sag 48' 20", moving at 0.74 degrees per day, and is 364706247km away and approaching.
Mars Is In Sagittarius
Oh, space cadets, hold on to your telescopes! It's time to talk about Mars in Sagittarius. Yes, you heard me right, the red planet has decided to take a vacation in the land of the archer. Sagittarius, the eternal optimist, has rolled out the welcome mat for our fiery friend, and things are going to get interesting. With Mars so far away – precisely 364725021.462005019km (not that anyone's counting) – it’s decided to return some of those long-distance calls. And by calls, I mean cosmic vibrations that will make us feel like we've chugged down a cosmic-sized latte. We're talking energy, optimism, and the kind of confidence that could convince you that socks with sandals is a good idea (It's not. Never was. Don't do it.). Mars in Sagittarius is like that friend who convinces you to go on a spur-of-the-moment road trip, only to end up in a llama petting zoo in the middle of nowhere. It’s adventurous, it’s spontaneous, and there's a high chance you'll end up doing something you might regret later. But hey, YOLO right? This planetary alignment is the perfect time to stretch your mental and physical legs. It’s not about lounging on the beach sipping margaritas (although that sounds pretty good too), it’s about exploring new territories, whether they are in the outer world or within the pages of a book. Deep down, aren't we all just nerds yearning for knowledge? So, as Mars does its prograde dance in the expansive realm of Sagittarius, remember to keep an open mind. Dive into that quantum physics textbook you've been avoiding, try that weird fusion cuisine from the new place downtown, or maybe even sign up for that interpretative dance class you've been secretly eyeing. You might find that the answers to life's biggest questions aren't hidden in the stars but right here, within our reach. Just remember, while Mars might be pushing us to go big or go home, moderation is key. After all, we don't want to end up like Icarus, flying too close to the sun. Or in this case, Mars. So buckle up, space cadets. We're in for a cosmic ride!
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is retrograde at 05 Tau 36' 24", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 660316572km away and receding.
Jupiter Is In Taurus
The Far-Out and Far-Away Jupiter in Taurus
Okay, my star-gazing sapiens, brace yourselves! We've got a cosmic mash-up happening that's wilder than a Wookiee at a hair salon. Jupiter, the big kahuna of wisdom and deep thinking, is chillaxing in Taurus, the zodiac's most steadfast and occasionally stubborn sign. It's kind of like Yoda moving into Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Yes, my friends, it's that interesting!
What does this mean for you? Well, it's like discovering the Force within you. You see, spirituality isn't some far-off galaxy we need to travel to. Nah, it's as close as your own heartbeat. With Jupiter in Taurus, it's time to dust off those lightsabers of inner wisdom and start slicing through the distractions of everyday life.
Jupiter in Taurus is also like owning a Millennium Falcon for your dreams – you're going to make some real headway. Powered by Jupiter's cosmic fuel of growth and Taurus' dogged determination, you'll be ticking off those dream goals like a droid on a data-sorting mission. Just remember, the path to success isn't made in hyperspace; you have to trust the process and take one light year at a time.
Now, here's where things get as shiny as C-3PO. Jupiter is our lucky star, and Taurus has a knack for attracting moolah. So, if you've been feeling more strapped than a Stormtrooper's armor, this astral alignment could bring some much-needed financial relief. It's a good time to examine your galactic credits and find ways to grow your wealth.
But remember, Taurus can indulge more than a Wookiee at a buffet. With Jupiter's expansive energy in the mix, you might be tempted to treat your needs as if they're the last Jedi in the universe. So, take a breath and remind yourself that patience and caution are your best allies in this cosmic journey.
So, whether you're saving the galaxy or just trying to make it through another spin of the Earth, remember: The Force (and Jupiter in Taurus) is with you!

Saturn Is In Pisces
Saturn In Pisces - The Cosmic Comedy Show Good day, fellow Earth-dwellers! So, here's the science bit - Saturn, our beloved ringed rockstar is moving into Pisces, the dreamy mystic of the Zodiac, for a little cosmic tango. And it's only about 1530332365.863322020km away - hey, no one said being an astrologer was easy! Now, when Saturn and Pisces get together, it's like a cosmic coach entering your dream world. You know, that place where you're a bestselling author or the entrepreneur of the year? But instead of just letting you enjoy the fantasy, Saturn starts handing out clipboards and spreadsheets. It’s like having a life coach with a pocket protector, urging you to turn those nebulous dreams into concrete realities. Let me warn you though, Saturn in Pisces is not always a laugh riot. Imagine having your most cherished fantasies critiqued by a planetary drill sergeant. Bit of a buzzkill, right? But I promise you, if you can stomach Saturn's tough love, you'll find he's got some Saturn-ly wisdom to share. And here's a quirky twist - Pisces rules sleep and dreams, so all this celestial action might have you feeling like you've downed a couple of extra espressos. Expect restlessness, anxiety, and even some late-night tossing and turning. But hey, every cloud has a silver lining and this is the perfect excuse to take a nap. So grab a dream journal, meditate, or go commune with Mother Nature. Just remember: if you meet Saturn on your woodland walk, don’t panic - he's probably just there to give you a pep talk about fiscal responsibility. So gear up my amigos, the Saturn-Pisces comedy show is about to start. Let's tune in to the deep wisdom of this transit, and remember - keep laughing, keep dreaming and most of all, keep reaching for those stars!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus Is In Taurus
Ladies, gentlemen, and cosmic enthusiasts, buckle up your asteroid belts because we're about to take a wild ride on the Uranus express! And guess what? We're heading straight for Taurus town - no pit stops, no detours, just pure, unadulterated Uranian energy in the heart of Bull Central. Now, I know what you're thinking. Taurus is as steady as a tortoise on Valium, right? They like their routines like Sheldon Cooper likes his spot on the couch. But here's the kicker – Uranus doesn't give a flying comet about your comfort zone. It's like an intergalactic wrecking ball and it's aiming straight for your status quo. So, brace yourselves, because the Bull is about to get a cosmic makeover, and spoiler alert – it won't be a subtle one. We're talking revolutionary shifts in how we handle those green pieces of paper we call money. Banks might as well start integrating UFO landing pads, because the way we deal with finances is about to go extraterrestrial. And speaking of money, you know those chains made of bills that keep us tethered to debts, taxes, and mortgages? Well, Uranus in Taurus is here to play cosmic Houdini and break us free from these materialistic manacles. You might feel like Frodo, embarking on a quest to Mordor to destroy the One Ring—or credit card. Either way, expect some epic financial freedom coming your way. But remember, my celestial companions, resistance is as futile as trying to convince a flat-earther that the world isn't a cosmic pancake. Uranus is on a mission to liberate us, so let's welcome it with open arms, or at least a begrudging nod. The changes may seem as comfortable as a prickly cactus at first, but ultimately, they'll lead us to a place of greater stability—think of it as trading in your rickety wooden cart for a sleek spaceship. So, hold onto your telescopes and embrace the cosmic chaos. Uranus in Taurus is here and it's ready to rock your world! Or should I say, your universe?

Neptune in Pisces: The Extraterrestrial Edition
My dear Earthlings, if you've been feeling like you're floating in an intergalactic soup of emotions recently, blame it on Neptune. Yes, after a whopping 164.79 earth years, this gaseous giant has sauntered into the dreamy realm of Pisces. And lemme tell ya, it's almost as exciting as E.T. learning to ride a bike... almost.
Neptune in Pisces is like a cosmic kaleidoscope, merging the Piscean penchant for feelings with Neptune’s "let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya" vibes. Suddenly, your neighbor's irritating habit of stealing your newspaper doesn't seem so important. Unity, my friends, shines brighter than the glare of those UFO headlights.
This celestial alignment is your cosmic call to action. Think about what you can contribute to our collective journey towards world peace...or at least neighborhood peace. Got a knack for baking? Those peace-pie cookies could broker an interstellar treaty. Always dreamed of making interpretive dance mainstream? Now's the time to shimmy and shake your way to global harmony.
Why not use this time to explore new spiritual paths? Perhaps Klingon yoga or Wookie meditation strikes your fancy. Or create a sacred altar at home, complete with space rocks and light saber candles. The energy of Neptune in Pisces is encouraging you to boldly go where no man...or woman...or non-binary individual...has gone before.
Remember, this celestial journey isn't a solo mission. Share your newfound wisdom with the world, and trust that Neptune's got your back. Just like E.T., we'll all be phoning home together...from our hearts to the cosmos.
P.S. I did the math, and Neptune is exactly 4497204814.057814598km away. But don’t worry, you won't need a spaceship to feel its influence. A sincere heart and an open mind will do just fine.

Pluto Is In Capricorn
Pluto In Capricorn - The Cosmic Comedy Show
Alright, space cadets! It seems our favorite dwarf planet, Pluto (yes, I still consider it a planet, don't @ me), has decided to bunk up with the old goat, Capricorn. Now, this isn't a sitcom scenario we see every day, but when it happens, oh boy, do things get interesting!
Imagine your strict, career-driven grandparent (that's Capricorn, by the way) deciding to share a room with a rebellious teenager who's just discovered punk rock (that's our pal, Pluto). There's going to be some tension, and a lot of noise. Noise that sounds suspiciously like your bad habits being smashed into a million pieces.
While Pluto might be 3,328,774,036 miles away, its influence can make you feel like you're in an episode of 'Extreme Makeover: Soul Edition'. Yes, it will feel like your inner universe is undergoing a renovation, but remember, without a little chaos, there's no change. So, let’s embrace this constructive destruction, shall we?
However, beware! With all this ambition flying around, you might develop a kind of tunnel vision, where only your viewpoint seems right. Be cautious about turning into a cosmic bulldozer, ready to flatten anyone who dares disagree with you. We're all stardust, after all, so let's not go around upsetting the cosmic balance, okay?
So, in a nutshell, as Pluto pirouettes prograde in Capricorn, it's time to let go of the old, embrace the chaos, and keep an open mind. The universe has got your back, even if it's a tad pushy about it!
And remember, my fellow stargazers, even in the deepest voids of space, there's always room for a little laughter.
Current Planetary Aspects
Current Planetary Positions
The Sun
Sun Opposite Moon
You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to a minimum. Try to understand others' points of view before expressing your own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.People born when the Sun opposes the Moon have an internal struggle between their needs and their wants. In contrast to the Sun-Moon conjunction personality, the Full Moon personality is inclined towards lack of focus and indecision. Their ability to be objective is both an asset and a liability, simply because when they decide on one route, they are pulled in another direction at the same time. Something tugs at them, and they begin to question their stance. “But what if…” and “on the other hand…” are statements they can’t help making and that plague them. While Sun conjunct Moon people have an Aries style about them, Sun opposition Moon natives have a distinct Libra energy about them, in that they are always aware of the opposing point of view, the other side of the coin, and so forth.Their inner struggle is most obvious in their vitality, as both the Sun and the Moon strongly influence the vitality. They have many ups and downs, and it is hard to know if it is physical or emotional. In fact, it’s likely both. These people might spend a week working hard, and the following week they lack motivation and find it hard to accomplish much. Their energy fluctuates more than most people, and it is very much a reflection of what is going on inside.The messages they received in their early lives in terms of what was expected of them were conflicting, and even opposite. Some people born under the Full Moon viewed their parents as two very different and separate individuals who each wanted something very different from their child. Their parents or parent figures “stood for” two very different things, and their child internalized this. There may have been some emotional frustration in connection with the father and a stifling of the go by the mother.It is hard for Sun opposition Moon people to find happiness within themselves. They tend to look outside of themselves for fulfillment. They are inclined to form serious relationships at an early age, simply because of this tendency to try to find an answer to happiness from an “other”. They are prone to divorce, partly because of this prematurity, and partly because their needs are complicated. Full Moon people are also more apt to seek counseling because of this need to find answers.These people appear to be very self-aware. They entertain a myriad of different points of view and perspectives. They are excellent psychologists and are able to read character and uncover motivations–but with an important caveat: if they are too emotionally close to the situation, they fumble. The truth is, although they appear to know much about how people tick, they spend a good part of their lives uncovering more of themselves and learning about themselves. Generally, this is done through comparisons or through the mirror of relationships.They can most certainly frustrate the people who are close to them with their indecisiveness and frequent changes of mind (and of heart). A word to those who deal with this on a day-to-day basis: their changes of heart are not a form of insincerity–they are the result of an internal struggle that is very real and very confusing to live with! Sun opposition Moon people can be temperamental, insecure, and very sensitive. The ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, and to consider other points of view, is a true asset. However, at some point in their lives, they need to uncover what it is they truly want. This comes easy to New Moon people, and can be a life-long struggle for Full Moon people. On the other hand, it is extremely easy for a Full Moon personality to understand others’ points of view–something that doesn’t come as easily to a New Moon personality. Sun opposition Moon people are generally interesting and complex. Born under a Full Moon, they can be a bit “loony”, perhaps manifesting itself in a unique sense of humor.Look for a planet that might trine and sextile the Sun-Moon opposition for a way to release the tension the opposition creates. Somehow, some way, through that planet, its sign, and its house position, the Sun opposition Moon person can find an “answer” to the struggle. Look also to the sign polarity involved for more details of the struggle. If it’s Aries and Libra, for example, there is a conflict between two equal drives to be independent and to depend on others.Some Famous People with Sun Opposition Moon: Lisa Bonet (the aspect is exact, or partile), Barry Bonds, Billy Ray Cyprus, Kirk Douglas, Alicia Witt.People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or trine, and early relationships, in particular, can be challenging until the stressful aspects are recognized as an inner tension.A woman with Sun opposition Moon, who had lived through her parents’ difficult divorce as a child, complained that her husband seemed to be quite complacent about their marriage, simply expecting that it would work out without much effort. His Sun and Moon form a sextile. When faced with a relationship problem, her instinct was to work on it actively, but her husband did not see such a need. In fact, he did not “see” the problems as clearly as his wife did. He felt that she was looking for problems that didn’t exist, while she felt he was taking the relationship for granted by not addressing problems as they arose.A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge – so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun square Moon suggests an internal “war” between two equally powerful desires: the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.The Sun
Sun Trine Jupiter
Today should be a fortunate day for you. Your confidence and optimism are high. Today is a good day to put plans into action and to participate in group activities.

As a result, they are usually well-liked.These people are usually good-hearted with strong morals and much faith in life and in people. They prefer to find good in situations and in people.

They generally make good on their promises, and the sincerity they exude can be trusted. Looking on the bright side is their forte–turn to these people for a pleasing dose of faith and optimism. They are quick to chuckle and can’t resist any appeal to their sense of humor. Some people with this aspect are downright jolly. Others are less conspicuous, but their faith in life and willingness to find humor in life are nevertheless obvious.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Hank Aaron, Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Evel Knievel, Shari Lewis, Carol Lewis, Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles – Prince Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis Presley.Alternate interpretations:Sun trine Jupiter: You have big aspirations but do not struggle or labor to achieve them. Your self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefits to you in an almost magical way. Your optimism and cheerful generosity also win you many allies and successes in life. — Interpretation from our Merlin Profile report.Sun trine Jupiter: The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits here are pronounced. If you also have Moon square or opposition Saturn, or Sun square or opposition Uranus, or Moon conjunct Mars, or Sun square or opposition Saturn: The creative urge is also brought out.You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic viewpoint – a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and generally keeping them.

No poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going for a long time. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun trine Jupiter: Jupiter, the planet of mercy, confers an optimistic approach whenever there are life challenges to be met. This aspect is fortunate because it promotes successful outcomes in general, as far as personal goals and recognition.You’re a generous and loyal friend. You are basically honest and you have a sincere desire to do right by your fellow man. It’s easy for you to be indulgent with others and you’re a naturally big-hearted person. Use this trait with open eyes. — Interpretation from the Your Life Path report.Sun trine Jupiter: Being successful in life is easy, for you have a built-in sense of how to approach and unravel even the most difficult problems. You have an instinct for justice and the law, and you always know how to approach a problem from just the right angle. This ability makes you a natural counselor or guide for others, in particular regarding vocational matters. Working with and helping older persons is also suggested. — Interpretation from Zet Software.The Sun
Sun Sextile Saturn
Self-discipline, organizing ability, and stamina are the order of the day. You are methodical, systematic and can make much progress today simply by rolling up your shirt sleeves and getting to work. People above you are likely to notice your efficient efforts and reward for your hard work will be imminent. Constructive ambition, patience, practical insights, and maturity are the keywords today.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Saturn to accept responsibilities, to lead a rather ordered life, and to apply caution in their financial and business dealings. They rarely jump to conclusions or take uneducated risks. They have a certain amount of patience and enough self-discipline to slowly but surely achieve what they set out to do. Although somewhat undemonstrative, they are generally loyal and responsible people to those they care about.These are not the quickest-moving people aroundthey take their time and generally use a step-by-step approach to most projectsbut they steadily reach their goals. Sun sextile and trine Saturn people are naturally trustworthy, and they don’t have much patience for those who don’t show respect for others, who take foolish risks, and who lead disorganized lives. With the trine, all of these traits come naturally.

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