Moon Is In Aquarius

"Greetings, celestial navigators! Before we delve into the cosmic happenings, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that our dear Moon decided to dress up in Aquarius for a little jaunt in the astrological runway. Quite the fashionista, if I may say so. Now, if we apply the principles of astrophysics and the Pythagorean theorem to this scenario (don't worry, it's not a pop quiz), we find that the Moon is a whopping 367,528.528077478 kilometers away. Yes, you heard that right, folks. That's not just around the block, or even a Sunday drive away. In fact, it's roughly 912 times the distance from New York to Los Angeles. Or, if you prefer, about 4.2 million laps around a standard high school track. Phew! Makes your Fitbit step count look like child's play. But what does this mean for us Earthlings? Well, when the Moon is in Aquarius, it's all about embracing your inner Spock; logic, intellect, and innovation will lead the way. Aquarius, often considered the mad scientist of the zodiac, might have you concocting bold new ideas, or perhaps formulating plans for a teleportation device to cut down that daunting lunar commute. So, while the Moon is busy hanging out in Aquarius, may I suggest taking a leaf out of its book? Embrace your inner eccentricity, challenge conventional wisdom, and remember, the sky (or in this case, the far, far away Moon) is not the limit. Remember, fellow stargazers, to boldly go where no man has gone before. That might just be to the kitchen to fetch another cup of tea, but hey, every journey starts with a single step, or a single sip. So, don your tin foil hats, keep your telescopes at the ready, and let's boldly embrace this Aquarian lunar influence together!"

Mercury

Mercury is in Leo

Mercury is prograde at 26 Leo 51' 53", moving at 0.95 degrees per day, and is 128373282km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Leo

Well, well, well... what do we have here? Mercury in Leo, you say? Alright, fasten your space seatbelts, folks, because we're about to embark on a cosmic joyride that's hotter than a supernova and brighter than a quasar! So, Leo, you fiery celestial feline, you're all about straight-up, no-beat-around-the-bush communication, right? And with Mercury, our speedy little planet of communication, making a pit stop in your starry domain, it's going to be like a galaxy-wide open mic night! Get ready to let those thoughts spill out faster than light speed. But remember, folks, even in the infinite cosmos, words can become shooting stars before you can blink. So, try not to let your verbal meteor shower take out any innocent bystanders. Now, let's talk about the real star of this show - Leo. The sun may have its solar flares, but Leo, you've got a flair for the dramatic that's downright astronomical! Expect plenty of cosmic chuckles and martian mirth as Mercury in Leo turns every conversation into a space opera. You'll be surrounded by more witty repartee than you can shake a telescope at! Picture this: A confident lion, mane billowing in the solar wind, strutting his stuff across the astral plane. That could be you, my stargazing friends! With a little bit of that Leo moxie, you could walk onto any stage - planetary or otherwise - and absolutely dazzle. Got a speech to make or a song to sing? Mercury in Leo is your cosmic cue to step into the spotlight. And don't forget, when Mercury soaks up those Leo rays, our creative juices start flowing like the Milky Way. This is your chance to pour all that Leo passion and enthusiasm into creating your own universe. Whether it's painting a celestial masterpiece, composing a symphony of the spheres, or crafting an epic space saga, let your inner artist take control and create, create, create! Remember, space travelers, the universe is a big place with infinite possibilities. So, while Mercury is in Leo, seize the day, grab life by the asteroids and make your own constellation in the cosmic canvas!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 13 Leo 00' 17", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 249831316km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Hey there, space explorers! Prepare yourselves because Venus, the galactic goddess of love, has packed her bags and taken a one-way ticket to Leo. That's right, she's visiting the cosmic King of the Jungle. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Venus in Leo? What are we in for, a solar system soap opera?" Well, buckle up, because the answer is a resounding YES! When Venus lands in Leo, it's like she's had one too many energy drinks. All she wants to do is shout her love from the rooftops - or in this case, from the asteroid belt. This is a time of grand romantic gestures that could put any rom-com to shame. If you're not ready to declare your love over a loudspeaker or shower your partner with lavish gifts, you might as well call a cab and leave the party. And oh, let me tell you about the drama! Leo doesn't just have a flair, it's more like a supernova explosion of theatrics. If you thought your last breakup was dramatic, just wait till you see what happens when Venus feels neglected in Leo. There might be fireworks, and I'm not talking about the fun type. But remember, folks: the universe doesn't revolve around us - no matter how much it feels like it sometimes. Now, let's talk about money. With Venus in Leo, it's all about the bling and the glam. You might feel an urge to splurge on everything shiny and expensive, like some cosmic magpie. But remember, all that glitters isn't gold (even if it's a limited-edition, diamond-encrusted coffee maker). Yes, you heard it right, even in the cosmos, retail therapy only brings temporary satisfaction. But here's the twist: Leo is also known for its generosity. So instead of blowing your savings on a solid gold cat tree, why not invest in some thoughtful gifts for your loved ones? Turns out, sharing the love (and the wealth) can make us even happier than a solo shopping spree. So, dear stargazers, as Venus pirouettes through Leo, let's remember to embrace the drama, the passion, and the generosity this transit brings. Remember, a life without a little cosmic chaos is like a black hole – no fun at all!

Mars

Mars is in Gemini

Mars is prograde at 00 Gem 58' 08", moving at 0.69 degrees per day, and is 246022496km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Gemini

Oh My Stars! Mars in Gemini

Well, well, well, we find ourselves in a bit of a cosmic tizzy, don't we? Mars, that fiery planet of action and drive, has decided to take a leisurely stroll through the intellectual neighborhood of Gemini. It's like feeding your pet cat a double espresso and then opening up a box of laser pointers. Goodbye couch potato vibes, hello whirling dervish of new ideas, hobbies and possibly, unfinished projects.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But oh wise and somewhat nerdy astrologer, how on earth do I keep track of everything?" Ah, my dear star-seeker, that's the beauty of it all. With Mars sauntering around Gemini, you'll be able to juggle tasks like a robotic protocol droid trying to serve drinks on Jabba's sail barge. And if Plan A goes haywire, fear not! You've got Plan B, C, D, and even E tucked away in your hyperdrive.

Keep in mind though, Gemini is a bit like that adorable but naughty child who'd rather chase butterflies than finish their homework. So while you're flitting about in your garden of interests, remember - every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Or in less Einstein-y terms, leaving projects unfinished could get you tangled in a cosmic cobweb of confusion.

And let's not forget the spicy side of Mars, shall we? Yes, the planet of passion and drive is also the planet of... well, passion. And with Mars in Gemini, the brain becomes the sexiest organ. So, if you're looking for some celestial sizzle, stimulate those grey cells first. After all, nothing says 'turn on' quite like a good intellectual banter, right? So put on your thinking caps, and let the sparks fly!

Mars in Gemini: It's like a cosmic game of 3D chess. Confusing, exhilarating, and a little bit nerdy. Just how we like it.

Jupiter

RoboCop's Guide to Jupiter in Gemini

Okay, folks. Buckle up because it's time to geek out – astrologically speaking, of course. Jupiter, the big guy of our solar system, has decided to park itself in Gemini, the zodiac's ultimate chatterbox. Now, you might think this is like assigning a quantum physicist to host an open mic night, but actually, it's more like having Stephen Hawking teach improv. So strap on your space helmets and let's dive into this cosmic comedy!

Jupiter is all about expanding our minds to the size of a black hole, while Gemini loves to ping pong around ideas faster than light speed. Combine the two and what do you get? A cerebral smorgasbord that would make even Einstein's head spin! You'll find yourself asking "What is this?" and "What does this mean?" so often, you might start to sound like a philosophy major at their first existentialist book club.

With Jupiter in Gemini, you won't see life as a straight highway anymore. Nah, it's more like a spaghetti junction in outer space, teeming with intergalactic detours, celestial shortcuts, and wormhole walkways. It's like Google Maps on cosmic steroids!

And let's not forget about Gemini's gift of gab. Picture this: everyone suddenly develops the wit of a stand-up comedian, turning our planet into one giant comedy club. We're all swapping ideas, laughing till tears stream down our faces, and generally feeling groovy. Yes, we'll be talking a lot, but hey, we've got Jupiter-sized thoughts to share!

Now, a word of caution: during this transit, prepare for a mental marathon. You'll want to gobble up information like a hungry black hole, spewing out brilliant ideas like a supernova. You'll be juggling thoughts and plans like an octopus at a hacky sack convention.

But remember, folks, Jupiter in Gemini is a golden opportunity for understanding. It's a VIP pass to the multiverse of choices. So, whether you're contemplating the meaning of life or just deciding between pizza and sushi, prepare for the floodgates of options to fling wide open. The key? Embrace the chaos. Be as flexible as a space-time continuum and find that sweet spot between hard-nosed certainty and fleeting cosmic whimsy.

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 19 Pis 00' 56", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 1343885146km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Geek Alert! Saturn's in Pisces!

Alright, fellow star-chasers, it's time to buckle up because Saturn, our favourite cosmic taskmaster, has just checked into the dreamy, watery world of Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Saturn, the strict school principal of the galaxy, in Pisces, the zodiac's resident daydreamer? That's like having Gandalf at a Grateful Dead concert!" But bear with me here, alright?

When Saturn waltzes around Pisces, it's like Yoda and Luke Skywalker meditating on Dagobah: it’s all about finding your inner Jedi. So, dust off those dreams of writing the next 'Game of Thrones' or launching your own craft brewery. It’s time to harness that Piscean imagination and Saturnian discipline, and create a master plan. Like a Vulcan playing 3D chess, we need to strategize.

But let's not fool ourselves, folks. Saturn in Pisces is no joyride on the Millennium Falcon. Saturn's like a cosmic Sheldon Cooper, questioning every little detail of our dreams. "You want to open a llama farm? And you think llamas can be toilet-trained, do you?" But remember, Sheldon's nitpicking often leads to better results. So, embrace that inner critic, and let it sharpen your plans.

Pisces rules sleep and dreams, so with Saturn rolling through its territory, you might feel more wired than Tony Stark in his lab. Your bedtime might start to feel like an episode of Stranger Things. So, take some time to chill out. Meditate, wander through nature, deep breathe, or even take a nap (just keep a dream journal handy for when your subconscious starts spouting prophecies). We're talking full-on hippie-mode here, folks. Embrace it.

Remember, fellow stargazers, Saturn in Pisces is a golden opportunity to turn dreams into reality. So, let's grab our lightsabers, mount our broomsticks, and boldly go where no man has gone before. And may the Force be with us all!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 26 Tau 33' 26", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2994116098km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, intergalactic voyagers and star gazers! It's your favorite celestial comedian here, ready to infuse a bit of humor into the cosmic chaos. Brace yourselves because Uranus is in Taurus, and boy oh boy, what a ride we're in for! Imagine if you will, Taurus as your old, comfortable recliner chair, the one that knows perfectly the shape of your posterior. It's reliable, stable, and makes that weird squeaky noise only you can decipher. Now, imagine Uranus as this hyper-energetic kid on a sugar high, bouncing around with a whoopee cushion. That’s right folks, we are about to experience an astronomical fart joke! The status quo? Poof! Gone like a puff of galactic gas! Now, Taurus loves money more than a Trekkie loves Star Trek marathons. And Uranus? Well, it's about to play Monopoly with our financial system. Imagine Bitcoin but with cow currency (Mooney, anyone?). Banks may start looking like scenes from a sci-fi movie, and the stock market might do the cha-cha slide. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like your hippie friend telling you to free yourself from the shackles of materialism while playing the ukulele. Debt? Taxes? Mortgages? They're about to feel as outdated as a flip phone. Beware though, folks! Resisting change in this period is like trying to stop a supernova with a squirt gun - utterly pointless and you’ll probably get wet. But fear not, these Uranus-induced changes have the potential to bring us to a place of greater stability than a black hole in a physics equation. So, buckle up, space cadets, for this 7-year cosmic roller coaster ride. Remember, change is the only constant in the universe...well, that and the fact that Pluto is still sulking about not being a planet. So, let's boldly go where no bull has gone before!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 29 Pis 49' 37", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4394564731km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Oh, my cosmic comrades, do gather around as the tale of Neptune in Pisces unfolds. Crank up your telescopes and pack your favorite snacks (might I suggest freeze-dried ice cream for the occasion?), we're embarking on a 4,394,622,054.008658409 km journey into the heart of our solar system. News flash: Neptune is currently doing the moonwalk - yes, it's in retrograde! Now, before you start panicking and running for the nearest bunker, remember, this is not a time for fear, but rather a cosmic call to action. It's like Captain Kirk finally getting beamed up after being stuck on an alien planet with nothing but his wits and a malfunctioning communicator. Neptune in Pisces is like that eccentric physics professor who, between experiments involving lasers and dry ice, imparts profound wisdom that forever changes your perspective. It's all about unity, folks. It's as if Neptune is saying, "Can't we all just get along?" And yes, the answer is, "We can!" The power of emotional intelligence and collective consciousness shines brighter than any supernova in this cosmic alignment. Now, don’t go selling all your possessions and joining a commune just yet (although, hey, to each their own). This transit is about recognizing the value of unity in diversity. Got a quirky idea? A dream for the future? Well, now's the time to share it and contribute to the cosmic progress. It's like being at a Star Trek convention and realizing that, despite the variety of aliens, everyone speaks the same language – the universal language of acceptance. Perhaps you're feeling a spiritual tug, a celestial call to action. Maybe it's time to dust off that old yoga mat, or enroll in a Tai Chi class. How about constructing an altar at home and communing with the cosmos? With Neptune in Pisces, your spiritual antennae are tuned to the perfect frequency to receive all that cosmic jazz. So, strap on your space boots and embrace the journey. Neptune in Pisces is here to guide you along the illuminated path of unity, acceptance, and emotional intelligence. And remember, in the immortal words of the great Carl Sagan, "We are all made of star stuff." Let's act like it.

Pluto

Pluto is in Aquarius

Pluto is retrograde at 00 Aqu 53' 36", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5093223482km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Pluto In Aquarius: The Nerdy Hippie's Perspective

Alright, cosmic kiddos, grab your telescopes and tie-dye lab coats, because we're diving into some deep space shenanigans. Pluto, that little icy rebel in the back of the solar system, is going retrograde in Aquarius. Now, for those of you who just heard me say "Pluto is doing the moonwalk in Aquafresh," don't worry. I'll break it down for you.

So, Pluto, right? Not just a Disney character but also the planet of transformation. And when I say transformation, I don’t mean like when you switch from regular to decaf coffee. No, siree! We’re talking full-on, Doctor Who-style regeneration. Death and rebirth, my friends, shedding old skins like a cosmic snake. And what's it sashaying through? Aquarius, the sign of progress and inventor of the astrological wheel (bonus points if you got that reference).

These two are about as dynamic a duo as Batman and Robin, or peanut butter and jelly, or...you get the idea. They're all about pushing boundaries, making waves, and not just stepping out of the box, but setting the box on fire and dancing around it. Wooo!

This pairing might make us see some wild advancements in science and technology. Be prepared for the next big thing, like teleporting espresso machines or AI-powered yoga mats. But the real meat and potatoes here are the shifts we might see in humanitarianism. We're talking big-time, "We are the world" vibes.

In your personal life, Pluto in Aquarius is like your obnoxious alarm clock shouting, "Wake up and smell the social consciousness!" It's nudging, no, pushing us to see beyond our own backyard, and think about what's best for the whole dang neighborhood. It's a call to action, asking us to transform not just ourselves, but our world.

Will you pick up the call? Or will you let it go to voicemail? Remember folks, change is inevitable, but growth...that's a choice. So, let's choose wisely, shall we?

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.

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.
