Moon Is In Capricorn

Greetings, celestial voyagers! It seems our dear friend, the Moon, has decided to bunk down in Capricorn for a bit. Yes, that's right. Our chunk of cheese in the sky is exactly 374,977.045532878km away. I know, I know, you're thinking, "Why not just round up?" Well, my friends, in the grand cosmos of things, every kilometer counts! Now, you might be wondering, "What on Earth (or rather, off Earth) does this mean for me?" Well, let me put on my star-studded spectacles and peer into the astral abyss for you. Having the Moon in Capricorn is a bit like having your overly organized, workaholic uncle come to visit. You suddenly find yourself wanting to clean up your act, dust off that old business plan you've been neglecting, and maybe even put on a tie... Or at least some clean socks. Under this cosmic influence, we all start to feel a bit more disciplined, ambitious, and practical. But remember, this is the Moon we're talking about. The same celestial body that influences the tides, werewolves, and those strange late-night cravings for pickles and ice cream. So, while the Capricorn Moon is whispering sweet nothings about responsibility and structure into your ear, it's also stirring up your emotions. This is where the fun really begins. Logic and feelings go together about as well as toothpaste and orange juice, right? Capricorn is an earth sign, so plant your feet firmly on the ground, take a deep breath, and get ready to face the music. And by music, I mean the harmonious symphony of your life that you're conducting. Just remember to keep your baton steady and your tempo consistent, or you could end up with a tuba solo when you least expect it. In the end, remember, we're all just stardust navigating this grand cosmic odyssey. So take heart, intrepid space traveler, because even when the Moon is in Capricorn, there's always room for a little cosmic capriciousness!

Mercury

Mercury Is In Leo

Alright star gazers, strap in and buckle up! Mercury, that speedy little messenger of the cosmos is boogying its way into Leo, and whoa Nelly, what a ride it's going to be! Now, we all know that Leo—the big cat of the zodiac—is all about that roaring, straight-from-the-lion's-mouth communication. With Mercury's quicksilver touch, you're going to find your tongue is sharper than a nerf gun at a Comic-Con convention! So don't be surprised if words start flying out of your mouth faster than the Millennium Falcon on hyperdrive. Just remember not to let your phasers set to stun, because sometimes, those words can come out a bit too quick for comfort. Mercury in Leo is like being given a golden ticket to the Wonka factory of fun. Leo's the life of the cosmic party, the one with the jokes that could make even Spock crack a smile. So expect plenty of laughter, witty banter, and possibly a few Klingon limericks tossed in for good measure. Step into that spotlight, folks! It's your time to shine brighter than the Death Star before it went kaboom! You'll find yourself channeling some of that lion-like swagger, ready to strut your stuff like you're walking the runway at a Starfleet fashion show. Got a TED talk you've been putting off? Now's the time to boldly go where you've been too nervous to go before. And let's not forget about creativity. When Mercury's in Leo, it's like you've been hit with a burst of gamma radiation—minus the whole turning into the Hulk thing. Instead, you'll find your creative juices flowing like the River of Dreams in an Elton John song. So grab those paintbrushes, dust off that old camera, maybe even break out the LEGO Millennium Falcon set. It's time to create, create, create! So there you have it, folks. Mercury in Leo is your cosmic permission slip to speak up, crack jokes, strut your stuff, and let your inner artist out to play. Just remember to keep it light, keep it fun, and above all, keep it nerdy!

Venus

Venus is prograde at 10 Leo 32' 51", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 250632743km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Venus In Leo: Hasta la Vista, Boredom!

Alright, stargazers, put on your sunglasses because the cosmic spotlight is getting intense! Venus, our resident planet of love and beauty, has strutted its way into Leo, the zodiac’s most flamboyant sign. We're talking Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'The Terminator' level of flamboyance here, only instead of "I'll be back," we're shouting, "I'm in love!" from the rooftops.

This isn't a time for bashful expressions of affection, folks. With Venus in Leo, we don't just want to be admired, we want to be adored! I'm talking showered in rose petals, grand gestures, surprise serenades, the whole shebang. Those playing it safe might find themselves watching from the sidelines, or worse, terminated from the game of love.

But remember, with great power comes ... well, you know the rest. Leo may have the heart of a lion, but it also comes with a side of drama thicker than a sci-fi plot. Feel ignored? You might be tempted to start a passionate argument just to reclaim that spotlight. But remember, there's no "I" in "We" unless you count the imaginary ones we add when we're being self-centered.

And let's talk about money, honey. With Venus in Leo, money isn't just pieces of paper, it's the key to a life of glitz, glamour, and glitter. Budgeting? Never heard of her. We're more likely to splurge on everything from designer clothes to extravagant gifts for others. After all, what's the point of having money if you can't make yourself and your loved ones feel like a million bucks?

Venus in Leo is a technicolor lovefest that can add a dash of excitement to your relationships. It's the perfect reminder that life without a little bit of fun and drama is like a Terminator movie without Arnold... just not as good!

Mars

Mars is in Taurus

Mars will change from Taurus to Gemini in the next 24 hours.

Mars is prograde at 29 Tau 35' 04", moving at 0.69 degrees per day, and is 247409699km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Taurus

The Red Planet Meets the Bull

Hold onto your telescopes, star gazers! The red planet Mars, known for its fiery temper and 'jump the gun' attitude, has decided to vacation in the laid-back, "stop and smell the roses" territory of Taurus. It's like inviting The Predator to a vegan potluck - it could go well...or it could be a disaster!

So, what does this mean for us mere Earthlings? Well, imagine trying to start a new project with a sloth as your project manager - that’s Mars in Taurus for you. While everything might take a bit longer to get off the ground, when it does, it'll have the stability of Newton's laws of motion - an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Just remember, it may take some extra coffee - or rocket fuel - to get things moving.

Now, Mars is usually all about confrontation, but Taurus is more "let's talk it out over a cup of chai". So, during this cosmic shift, we might find ourselves avoiding conflict like it’s a black hole. But remember, folks, even black holes can't hide forever (just ask any astrophysicist). So, if you've got some pent-up emotions, better let them out before they explode like a supernova.

And let's talk money, because who doesn't love a good finance chat? With Mars in Taurus, our bank accounts are going to get as much attention as Elon Musk's latest SpaceX launch. This isn't just a time to fight for what we value, but it's also a time to buckle down and pursue those dollar bills with the tenacity of a space rover on Mars.

But don't worry - it's not all spreadsheets and budget balancing. Taurus knows how to party, and Mars isn’t opposed to letting its hair down. So, while we might be working hard, we'll also be playing hard - think of it as a cosmic work-life balance. After all, what's the point of conquering the universe if you can't enjoy a good intergalactic party?

So strap in, space cadets - with Mars in Taurus, it's going to be one cosmic ride!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Gemini

Jupiter is prograde at 12 Gem 12' 05", moving at 0.2 degrees per day, and is 850797599km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Gemini

Hello space cadets, buckle up and adjust your antennas because our big, gassy friend Jupiter is currently parked in the constellation Gemini. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Great, another planet in a twin sign. Isn't the universe crowded enough?" But hear me out, this celestial meet-up is a whole new level of cosmic awesomeness! Jupiter, our favorite overgrown beach ball, is all about expanding our horizons and pushing us to think deeper than a philosopher at a coffee shop open mic night. And Gemini? Well, Gemini is the chatty Cathy of the zodiac, always curious, always asking questions like an adorable toddler on a sugar high. So, what happens when these two energies collide? It's like a cosmic brainstorming session on steroids! We're talking a mental buffet of ideas and possibilities that would make Einstein's head spin. Forget about crossroads, with Jupiter in Gemini, life's more like an interstellar spaghetti junction with bridges, shortcuts, and yes, even a few wormholes (hey there, Stargate fans!). And if you thought Gemini couldn't get any chattier – well, strap yourself in! The communication floodgates are wide open, and we're not just talking water cooler chit-chat. We're all set to exchange some mind-blowing concepts, and who knows, we might even solve world peace over a latte or two. But hold onto your hats, folks, because it's going to be BUSY. We're talking reading, absorbing, learning, discussing, debating... You're going to need to juggle like a circus performer on Red Bull just to keep up. But hey, no pressure, just the infinite wisdom of the universe at stake here. Now, I realize this might all sound a bit overwhelming, like trying to order dinner at a restaurant with a ten-page menu. But don't worry, this is a rare opportunity for some serious mind-expansion. Embrace the mental gymnastics, flex those brain muscles, and find that sweet spot between absolute certainty and endless curiosity. So, my fellow stargazers, as Jupiter cruises through Gemini, let's remember to keep our minds open, our dialogues flowing, and above all, to enjoy the ride. After all, the universe is a big place, and there's always room for more ideas.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Yoda-style Saturn in Pisces

In the realm of Pisces, Saturn now dwells. Hmmmm. Closer to your dreams, this brings you, but not as easy as operating a lightsaber, it is. A time for introspection, it is. A time for looking within one's own galaxy, hmmmm. The Force strong within you is? Write that book you've been dreaming of, or maybe even start that Ewok-friendly business venture. Clear the mind, the way Yoda would. Ready your notepad like an eager Padawan. When the Jedi Master of Rules meets the last sign of the Zodiac, a partnership more powerful than the Death Star itself, they form.

But wait, my young padawan! A walk in the park, Saturn in Pisces is not. Questioned about your cherished dreams, you may be. Like a persistent droid, Saturn might intrude. Defensive and prickly like a cactus on Tatooine, you might become. But remember, no "Keep Out" sign will keep this cosmic "dad" away. Instead, open the door, you must. Like a Jedi mind trick, his advice is more helpful than it seems.

With Saturn in the dreamy Pisces, you may feel as restless as a Tauntaun in a snowstorm. Sleep, you might struggle with. Time to cultivate inner peace, it is. Meditate, walk in the forest moon of Endor, breathe deeply, rest (but keep your holocron journal handy!). Ensure your light cycle is full, you must. Even early, your bedtime might be. Allow time for your hyperactive mind to drift into hyperspace. Listen to the cosmic wisdom Saturn in Pisces whispers. And remember, always trust the Force.

Uranus in Taurus: The Cosmic Bull in the China Shop

Hey star children, put down your kale smoothies and listen up because Uranus is doing the cha-cha in the sign of Taurus. Now, if Taurus were a person, they'd be that friend who meticulously arranges their sock drawer by colour and freaks out if you move their coffee mug an inch to the left. They're all about stability, predictability, and good old fashioned routine. They're the tortoise in the cosmic race, steady and determined. But guess what? Uranus, the planet of sudden change and rebellion, has just crashed the party like a rogue comet with a taste for chaos!

This is like trying to mix oil and water...or better yet, a cosmic bull in a china shop. Uranus is tossing out lightning bolts of change while Taurus is nervously trying to glue the pieces back together. And what's Taurus' favourite thing in the world? Besides a well-organized sock drawer, it's money. So, buckle up buttercups, because we might see some radical shifts in the way we handle our moolah.

We're talking total overhaul of banks, new forms of currency popping up (Bitcoin, are you blushing?), and maybe even a shakeup in the stock market faster than you can say "Wall Street". Even the way we view material possessions could shift. That Louis Vuitton bag that you've been coveting might lose its lustre. Minimalism, anyone?

But hey, don't start stress-eating those organic, gluten-free cookies just yet. Yes, change can be scary, especially for our Taurus pals. But remember, Uranus isn't here to wreak havoc; it's here to liberate us from outdated patterns that are holding us back. It's here to shake us up and wake us up. We don't have a choice but to embrace the changes, ride the cosmic wave and who knows, we might just find ourselves in a much better place.

So, let's welcome Uranus in Taurus like a long-lost friend with a wacky sense of humour. After all, the Universe has a way of making things work out in the end. And hey, change is the only constant in life, right? Especially in the life of an astrologer!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune Is In Pisces

Hello, cosmic comrades! Today we're embarking on a far-out journey to visit our blue gaseous buddy, Neptune - currently hanging out in the mystical realm of Pisces. Now, don't fret about the distance - it's only a mere 4,399,011,125.468503952km away. Grab your favorite snack and let's prepare for this galactic road trip! Neptune, that dreamy planet of illusion and intuition, is having a bit of a disco nap as it's currently in retrograde. What does that mean, you ask? Well, it’s like Neptune decided to pull an all-nighter, studying for an astrophysics exam, then sleepwalked its way into Pisces. Now, you'd think this celestial sleepwalker would be a bit disoriented, right? Quite the contrary! It's as if Neptune put on its spiritual spectacles, shedding light on our own contradictions and petty squabbles. Suddenly, everything that seemed important is as relevant as a chocolate teapot. The value of unity and harmony shines brighter than a supernova, and the pathway to wholeness is shining like a beacon from a lighthouse in the middle of a black hole. This cosmic event is a call-to-arms (or should I say, call-to-stars?). It's time to figure out what you can contribute to our collective cosmic progress and healing. Do you have a knack for knitting tiny sweaters for kittens? Or perhaps you've mastered the art of making gluten-free, vegan scones that don't taste like cardboard? Whatever it is, Neptune in Pisces is your golden ticket to explore these unique offerings with a touch of emotional intelligence and a dash of spirituality. If there was ever a time to embark on that spiritual journey you’ve been contemplating, or create a sacred space at home for your collection of Himalayan salt lamps, it’s now. Neptune in Pisces is like your cosmic cheerleader, encouraging you to share your ideas and dreams with the world. Think of it as your personal astrological support system. So, strap on those jetpacks, stargazers! It's time to embrace this cosmic adventure and let the celestial currents guide you towards a better understanding of yourself and your place in the cosmos. And remember, the universe has a wicked sense of humor. So, don't forget to laugh along the way!

Pluto In Aquarius: The Cosmic Remix

Alright stargazers, it’s time to strap in because Pluto, the planet that's more misunderstood than your teenage diary entries, has decided to park its cosmic caboose in Aquarius. This is like when your eccentric uncle decides to live in your attic for a while. It might feel weird, but trust me, it’s going to get interesting.

Let's break it down. Pluto is the planet of transformation, think extreme home makeover but for your soul. Aquarius, on the other hand, is the sign of progress – it's like the Steve Jobs of the zodiac. So, when Pluto shimmies into Aquarius, we are basically hitting the cosmic upgrade button.

Here's the deal: Pluto isn’t just about changing your hair color or swapping out your squad. It’s about shedding old identities like a snake sheds its skin, except less creepy and more spiritually enlightening. The goal? To make room for the shiny new you waiting beneath the surface.

With Pluto and Aquarius joining forces, we're looking at massive leaps in science, technology, and space travel. I'm talking teleportation devices, flying cars, and maybe even a waffle maker that actually makes perfect waffles every time. The sky's the limit... literally!

But the real kicker here is the powerful shift in civil rights and humanitarianism. You know those 'love thy neighbor' vibes? They're about to go viral. Power will belong to those who work together, respect each other, and, you know, generally act like decent human beings. Revolutionary, right?

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is all about altering how we see ourselves and our place in this crazy, beautiful, messed up world. It's time to flip the script and start thinking about what's best for all of us, not just numero uno. It's a tall order, I know. But hey, if Pluto can survive being demoted from planet status, you can handle this, champ!

So, will we answer the call? Well, as they say in space... there is no try, only do. Or something like that. Happy stargazing!

The Sun

Sun Sextile Mars

You have great vitality and energy today. You know your goals, you have made your plans, now take charge. People in stations above you can be impressed now with the initiative you show. Actions speak louder than words, so get busy.People born with flowing aspects between the Sun and Mars are generally enterprising. They have powerful stores of energy that they can draw upon when needed. These people respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. They are naturally competitive, and this trait is generally well-received by others simply because it is unforced, unaffected, and sincere. These people truly believe in fair play, and they seem to be in love with life. When they are expressing competitiveness and courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive ones rather than being rubbed the wrong way. These people generally have good physical vitality.It is interesting to note that these people are not naturally combative. Many enjoy sports or games that are competitive, but not violent. Breaking the rules of a competitive game is particularly upsetting to those with Sun in easy aspect to Mars. This is largely due to the fact that the will (Sun) is connected to the desire nature (Mars) in a pleasing manner, so that the natives are more able than most to control their desires, aggressions, and instincts. They know how to be fair, and they expect others to be fair. As such, sneaky behaviors, uncontrolled impulses, violence, and rage are offensive to them. They know how to direct and control their own impulses and desire natures, and they fully expect others to be able to do so!The main difference between the sextile and trine of the Sun and Mars: The trine is a more natural energy. Those with Sun trine Mars naturally and without thought are courageous and enterprising. Those with Sun sextile Mars have the opportunity to draw upon their courageous and enterprising spirit, but effort is required to pull these energies out of themselves and to apply these energies in their lives. With the trine, the characteristics of Sun-Mars come so naturally that the natives may not even realize just how much endurance, confidence, and enthusiasm they possess. Because the sextile requires some effort and thought, those with Sun sextile Mars often have many creative tools at their disposal, and they can be effective strategists and leaders.Some Famous People with Sun sextile or trine Mars: Angelina Jolie, Neil Armstrong (the first man to step on the Moon), George Lucas, Warren Beatty, Donald Trump, Robert Pattinson.Sun sextile Mars: Energetic, enthusiastic, (and at times) very combative, you have a way of getting to your goal. You enjoy the contest of others trying to stop you. Your creative energies flow very strong when you are opposed. — Interpretation from our In-Depth Profile report.Sun sextile Mars: For most children with this harmonious Sun/Mars aspect, will and desire work hand in hand. It’s probably easy for your child to work with those in authority: parents, teachers, elders. She enjoys working with others and would make a good manager. An interest (and ability) in athletics, exercise (working with the physical body), the outdoors and such, should be lifelong. Another form this could take is training or coaching others. Your child could have a natural ability to express herself and to handle emotions. She may also like to perform. A career in one of the entertainment industries is a possibility. This position also favors police work. Because Mom and Dad supported her as a child, your child is confident of success as an adult. — Interpretation from the Child Star report (Girl).Sun sextile Mars: You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won’t long stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. If you also have Moon square or opposite Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Venus, or Mercury conjunct, square, or opposition Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Uranus, or Mercury conjunct Neptune: This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun sextile Mars: One of your strengths is your high level of physical vitality and energy. You are an ACTION person, a doer, a go-getter, and you can pack more activity into a day than most people do in a week. You enjoy fighting the good fight, taking on challenges with relish, and you are inherently quite competitive but not in a way that provokes anger or fierce opposition from others. Because in the past you have succeeded in achieving your goals, you now have an inner expectation of success and of being a winner, a natural self-confidence that you draw on without even thinking about it. You have developed many positive “masculine” qualities, such as courage, will power and the ability to take initiative. You tend to be a leader without having to struggle or coerce others into accepting your authority. Occasionally, however, you may overpower other people without realizing it, since they may not have the energy resources that you do. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.

The Sun

Sun Sextile Uranus

Today is a good day to pour your creativity and self-expression into coming up with new ways of doing things. Positive surprises are likely today as your aura is ready for the new and unusual. By going off the beaten pathway, you may open up many possibilities for further spiritual and personal growth. You feel free today from all restrictions and you want to fly like the eagle, unbounded by any restraints. Soar high and don't limit yourself.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Uranus to embrace new ways of doing things, to stick up for the underdog, and to express themselves in unique and inspiring ways. These people don’t have to try to stand out as unique–they are original, creative, and progressive without trying. Although these people question rules and traditions if they don’t seem to make sense to them, they don’t view them as threatening their personal sense of freedom.These individuals are far from pretentious. They value honesty and truth, and they avoid putting on airs. They believe in the equality of people, and easily relate to people from all walks of life. There is an unmistakable enthusiasm about life, and generally the life is interesting because the natives invite unusual or adventurous experiences into their lives. They are generally appreciated by others because they are open-minded, fair, and not judgmental. Nothing really seems to faze them! They take things in stride, and are rarely shocked or taken aback by human behavior. If you are holding onto something that you keep to yourself for fear that if you talk about it, someone will think you’re strange, you can safely turn to a Sun-Uranus person. They probably won’t blink, and they’ll make you feel quite alright about it.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon their intuitive faculties when needed, and those with the trine between the Sun and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Gregory Peck, Paula Abdul, Kirk Douglas, Tiger Woods, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dr. Phil McGraw, Gene Simmons. Isaac Newton, Paula Abdul; Trines – Nicolas Cage, Anne Heche, Harry Hamlin, Dick Clark, Drew Barrymore, Muhammad Ali, Farrah Fawcett.

The Sun

Sun Trine Neptune

Today will be rewarding if you find the time to express yourself by helping others. Find something artistic through which you can channel your creativity and your soul. Art and music as well as spiritual pursuits are favored today. Try to become one with the Universe today. Creative visualization can be an important means through which your goals are realized. Idealism runs high today.There is an unmistakably dreamy, inspired, and sensitive side to those born with easy aspects between the Sun and Neptune. A marked appreciation for music and the arts is present. The connection of Neptune with the Sun, which represents the ego and the will, certainly softens some of the hard edges that might be found elsewhere in the chart, adding a sensitive and spiritual dimension to the personality. These people are naturally compassionate, especially those born under the trine. It is so completely natural for them to accept that there is more to the world than what is before their eyes, that they tend to presume everyone must be spiritually-inclined. Of course, they come to realize that this is not the case at some early point in their lives. Their attraction to spirituality and metaphysical subjects is usually marked. These aspects favor writers, artists, and musicians. These people are sensitive to those who are suffering, although they are not as easily taken advantage of as those with Sun-Moon challenging aspects. They are humanitarian and often have a special connection with animals. If other aspects and positions in the chart support it, these people are not ones to dominate others or assert themselves to the point of brashness.Some Famous People with Sun in Easy Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Mick Jagger; Trines – Farrah Fawcett, Billy Corgan, Muhammad Ali

The Sun

Sun Opposite Pluto

Power struggles may be likely today. You may encounter others who try to force their will on you or others who resent feeling as if you are forcing your ego on them. Try to compromise and find a balance. Transformation can come about if you are open to change and if you can keep your ego from becoming all-encompassing. Today may be an intense day. Control your arrogance and your domineering attitudes. Be reasonable.People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves.Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.Famous people with Sun in hard aspect to Pluto: Squares – Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field; Oppositions – Muhammad Ali, Robert Duvall, John Travolta, Elvis Presley, Steve Allen, John Hurt, James Earl Jones; Oppositions – Nicole Brown Simpson, R.D.

Avoid hasty speech and things said in anger in the heat of the moment. Impractical ideas, nervousness, irritability and unexpected disruptions are what you may have to deal with today. There may be sudden changes in travel plans. Be extra cautious while traveling as accidents are possible through carelessness and impatience.You possess a quick mind, you are very intuitive, and you require a great deal of mental stimulation to keep from feeling bored. Preferring to be self-directed, you don’t always take advice easily. There is a part of you that loves to shock, challenge, and instigate with the things you say; however, this may not be a conscious process. Your mental energy and output is extremely variable–one day you might be capable of enormous effort and interest in a project, and the next day the opposite. This is largely due to the fact that you feel a strong need to be true to your instincts and intuition, and if you are not absolutely inspired, you don’t feel right working on a project–you might feel that you are “faking” it, and this doesn’t sit well for you. The problem is that in life there are always going to be routine tasks to complete, things we have to do that don’t entirely suit our interests, and so forth. School years may be challenging as a result of your disdain for a linear approach to learning, routine tasks, and subjects that don’t inspire you, not because of any lack of mental ability. In fact, you can have real flashes of genius and your ideas and perspectives are often very original. At times you can be very dogmatic. You have a tendency to be, or to appear to be, scatterbrained. Your attention span can be short, and as a result, you might often leave projects unfinished. At times you can have an irritable temper and need to channel some of your nervous energy into constructive pursuits. Take time to reflect on what you truly believe in, because many times you are too busy challenging established thought, or playing devil’s advocate, to get in touch with your own opinions and feelings. This way, your intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity can come shining through.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Sigourney Weaver, Oliver Stone, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, Drew Carey, Bjork. Oppositions – Howard Stern, Voltaire, Henri Matisse, Billy Jean King, Robert Browning, Charles Chaplin, Danny DeVito.
