Moon Is In Pisces

Ah, fellow stargazers! In the celestial soup of the cosmos, the Moon has landed in the bowl of Pisces, it has. A mere 364,896.101124978km away, practically a cosmic hop, skip, and a jump, it is. Drawn to the ethereal fish we are, as if by some galactic magnetic pull or maybe just the siren call of sushi. Now, as the moon dabbles its toes in the dreamy waters of Pisces, prepare to feel as if you're floating in a zero-gravity chamber of emotions. Yes, my friends, like an astronaut who's accidentally hit the anti-gravity button on their spaceship. Expect dreams more vivid than a supernova, and emotions that ebb and flow like the tides of the ocean - but fret not, for 'tis simply the Moon playing hide and seek with Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. You may find yourself astral projecting to the nearest cosmic coffee shop or shedding a tear at the sight of a particularly beautiful quasar. Perfectly normal, this is. Piscean energy, it is known for being the deepest end of the emotional pool in the galaxy. So, grab your favourite pair of moon boots, stock up on comfort food from Mars (Mars bars, anyone?), and strap in for a lunar trip that promises to be a rollercoaster ride through the Milky Way. Remember, the force (of gravity) will always be with you. Until next time, may the constellation be with you!

Mercury Is In Leo

Alright folks, buckle up, we're going on a cosmic ride. Mercury, our solar system's favorite speedster, has packed its bags and decided to pitch its tent in Leo's grand star-studded playground. And boy, is this going to be a spectacle! It's like Luke Skywalker got his hands on the Millennium Falcon's steering wheel again. Yeah, you heard me, it's gonna be that exciting! Now, we all know Leo's a fire sign, right? Fiery, passionate, bold, take-no-prisoners kind of a deal. So with Mercury doing its thing in this lion's lair, we might as well throw subtlety out the window. Got something on your mind that you've been dying to say? Well, now's the time to let your inner Chewbacca roar. Just remember, Mercury's fast and Leo's loud, so think before you speak, unless you want to sound like Yoda on a caffeine high. But hey, don't panic! There's more fun to be had. Mercury in Leo is like throwing a party and inviting only the coolest aliens from across the galaxy. With Leo's knack for entertainment and Mercury's swift wit, get ready for laughter that'll ring louder than the Death Star's explosion. Imagine if you will, a confident lion, mane flowing like Luke's luscious locks, strutting his stuff across the savannah. That's us during this transit. We're all about to get a confidence boost that'd make even Han Solo envious. Been procrastinating on that public speaking gig? Well, it's time to channel your inner Princess Leia and seize the stage. Oh, and did I mention creativity? Mercury in Leo is like having a direct line to the Force. We're talking full-blown artistic eruption here, folks. So dust off those paintbrushes, polish those cameras, and get ready to create something that even R2-D2 would beep in approval. So, in a nutshell, enjoy the ride with Mercury in Leo. It's going to be an intergalactic adventure that not even George Lucas could have scripted. May the Force (and the planets) be with you!

Venus in Leo: The Fiery Waltz of Love

Alright stargazers, buckle up! Venus, the celestial equivalent of that friend who always brings the best snacks to your Star Trek marathons, has sashayed her way into Leo, the zodiac's full-time drama queen and part-time rockstar. Picture this: Venus, draped in a sequined dress and Leo, strutting around with a mane more majestic than Chewbacca's fur, are about to set the dance floor on fire. And when I say fire, I don't mean a puny Bunsen burner flame, we're talking a full-blown, 'I-just-defeated-a-dragon' kind of blaze! When Venus is in Leo, it's like the universe is hosting a cosmic talent show. Everyone wants to be loved, not just liked; adored, not just appreciated. This is not a time for wallflowers or introverts to hide behind their comic book collections. It's time to channel your inner Tony Stark, make bold gestures and steal the limelight. But remember folks, playing it safe might leave you alone in the corner, munching on leftover pizza while everyone else is doing the Macarena. Now, let's talk love. Venus in Leo is as subtle as a lightsaber duel in a library. Expect grandiose displays of affection, passionate declarations of love, and maybe even a tantrum or two if you're not getting the attention you believe you deserve. It's like being in a soap opera scripted by George R.R. Martin - thrilling, dramatic, and someone may or may not lose their head (figuratively, of course). And what about money? Well, with Venus in Leo, money is just another medium to spread the love. It’s like using cheat codes in a video game to buy the most extravagant items, not for practicality, but because they glitter more than a Twilight vampire in sunlight. But remember, splurging on yourself is fun, but sharing your bounty with others? That's the secret cheat code to ultimate happiness. In conclusion, Venus in Leo is not just another transit, it's a celebration of love, drama, and all things shiny. So grab your popcorn, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready for one hell of a cosmic party!

Mars in Gemini: The Cosmic Comedy Show

Hey there, star gazers! Guess what? Mars, our fiery red neighbor, has decided to take a detour and park itself in Gemini's driveway. Now, if you're a couch potato, brace yourself for some serious changes. Mars in Gemini is like a cosmic espresso shot - it'll make you so jittery with excitement for new ideas and hobbies, that you'll forget what boredom even feels like.

But hold onto your telescopes folks, because this celestial shift comes with its own set of challenges. You see, Gemini is the zodiac's equivalent of a kid in a candy store - one who wants to taste every piece of candy, only to drop it halfway and reach for another. So while Mars is vacationing in Gemini, expect your focus to be as stable as a hula hoop on a hyperactive kangaroo. There's a chance you might end up being a master of none, jack of all trades. But hey, who said variety isn't the spice of life?

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the galaxy, passion and sex. Mars, being the planet of action and drive, also moonlights as the planet of passion. And when it's in Gemini, foreplay takes an intellectual turn. That's right, folks. Your brain becomes the hottest erogenous zone. A steamy debate or a witty banter could be more of a turn-on than a candlelit dinner. Talk about mental gymnastics!

So, in a nutshell, Mars in Gemini is like a cosmic rollercoaster ride - thrilling, unpredictable, and a tad bit chaotic. But remember, it's all in good fun. After all, who doesn't love a good cosmic comedy show?

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Gemini

Jupiter is prograde at 12 Gem 58' 23", moving at 0.19 degrees per day, and is 844174710km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Gemini

Jupiter In Gemini: The Big Thinker in the Land of Chit-Chat

Alright, space nerds, we've got Jupiter cozying up with Gemini, and let's just say, it's like inviting a philosopher to a cocktail party. Jupiter, the divine champion of deep thinking, has decided to hitch a ride on Gemini's star-studded rollercoaster of ceaseless chatter and curiosity. So, expect your brain to be firing on all cylinders, folks. You’re going to be asking, "What is this?" and "What does it mean?" simultaneously, like a toddler discovering the world for the first time.

With Gemini's multifaceted view of life, and Jupiter's penchant for expansion, your mind's eye is about to get a panoramic upgrade. Stuck at a crossroads? Fear not! Gemini is handing out options like candy at a parade. I’m talking side paths, shortcuts, bridges, even subterranean tunnels. It’s like turning a simple game of chess into an interdimensional quest of quantum proportions.

Also, brace yourselves for some serious verbal gymnastics. Gemini, the zodiac's silver-tongued devil, is turning up the dial on communication. Expect puns that would make Shakespeare blush, an irresistible urge to debate the meaning of life with your barista, and a sudden fascination with quantum physics. Who knows, you might even solve Schroedinger's cat dilemma while waiting for your latte.

While Jupiter is playing houseguest with Gemini, expect to be busier than a one-armed paper hanger. You'll have more brilliant ideas than Elon Musk at a science fair. So, dust off that multi-tasking hat because it's going to be a juggling act of epic proportions.

This rare cosmic conjunction is your golden ticket to broadening your horizons. From life-altering decisions to choosing the perfect taco topping, you'll be swimming in a sea of possibilities. So, embrace the chaos, my dear cosmic voyagers. Life is a buffet of thoughts right now, and it's time to feast!

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn in Pisces: The Cosmic Comedy

Ladies, gentlemen, and celestial beings, lend me your ears - or eyes, or antennae, whatever you've got! Our ringed friend, Saturn, is doing the backstroke in the Piscean pool, and it's about as smooth as a hedgehog in a tutu.

But here's the thing. Despite the awkward, retrograde shuffle of this gas giant, Saturn in Pisces is a prime time for introspection, escalating daydreams into reality. So, if you've been dreaming about becoming the next J.K. Rowling or opening that vegan, gluten-free, zero-waste, cryptocurrency-accepting bakery, now's the time to get cracking!

But don't expect a smooth ride. Saturn in Pisces is less of a delightful amble in the park and more of a trudge up a mountain while wearing flip-flops. It's going to knock on the door of your deepest dreams, ask them hard questions, and won't be deterred by a hastily scrawled 'Do Not Disturb' sign. Just remember, this celestial auditor isn't here to rain on your parade. It's here to help you make that parade epic.

On the flip side, with all this Saturn-induced mental gymnastics, you might feel like you've chugged five espressos before bedtime. Restlessness, anxiety, and insomnia might decide to throw a party in your mind. So, do yourself a favor: practice some self-care. Meditate, take a walk in the park (mind the ducks!), breathe deeply, or even take a nap - just be ready to jot down any wild dreams that pop up.

So yes, the universe has a sense of humor, and Saturn in Pisces is the punchline. But with a bit of patience, a dash of introspection, and a hearty laugh, you'll surf these cosmic waves like a pro. Now, go out there and make your dreams come true!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 26 Tau 37' 16", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2989547060km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Well, well, well, strap in space cadets because our good buddy Uranus has decided to bunk with Taurus for a while, and let me tell you, this is like putting Spock in a room with Wookiees - it’s going to be entertaining, but there might be fur flying! Taurus, bless its hooves, loves a good routine. A bit of the old ‘same old, same old’. But Uranus? That rebel rouser is about as predictable as quantum physics, and twice as confusing. It's like trying to keep track of a hyperactive comet on double espressos. To say Taurus isn't thrilled would be like saying black holes are a bit sucky. Now, Taurus is all about the moolah. Loves counting those coins, investing in Spacebucks, maybe stashing a few under the intergalactic mattress for a rainy day. But with Uranus moving in, we might as well throw the financial manual out the airlock. We're talking revolutionary ways of dealing with dough, folks. Don't be surprised if your local Galactic Bank gets replaced by an AI named Bucky who deals in cosmic crypto-currency. And on a more personal level - and here's where I get all touchy-feely - Uranus crashing in Taurus’ pad is like a wake-up call from a foghorn. You know all those material possessions chaining you down? The debt that weighs heavier than a neutron star? The rent that seems to increase faster than the speed of light? Uranus is here to shake things up, baby! So hold onto your space helmets. It's time to ditch the old ways, embrace the new, and prepare for a ride wilder than a wormhole during rush hour. Change might be scary, but remember, even the most chaotic supernovas can birth new stars. And remember, dear Taurus, just like a bad rerun of an old sci-fi show, this too shall pass. Now, where's my tea?

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 29 Pis 48' 18", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4390262529km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, well, well, if it isn't Neptune taking a scenic cruise through Pisces, the zodiac's resident dreamer. You know, Neptune's so far away it probably didn't even hear you when you called it retrograde! It's too busy being 4,390,318,739.203886986km away, and I guarantee you, it's not sweating over it. Neptune in Pisces is like your hippie aunt who lives off-grid, sipping homemade kombucha and communing with the squirrels. It's all about unity, man. Like finding the perfect harmonizing note in a cosmic jam session. It's like suddenly realizing that the petty squabbles we have are like arguing about who gets the last slice of pizza when there's an entire pizzeria up for grabs! This astrological duo is the ultimate spiritual life coach, urging us to tap into our emotional intelligence. They’re saying, "Hey, buddy, you've got something special to contribute to this big, wild universe. What's your thing? Macramé potholders? Interpretative dance? Revolutionary string theory? Bring it on!" It's a great time to dive headfirst into whatever spiritual path tickles your fancy. Tarot card reading? Quantum physics? Jedi training? Why not? Set up a little sacred space at home – maybe next to your Star Wars memorabilia or your collection of rare fungi. And why keep all this newfound enlightenment to yourself? Share it! Neptune in Pisces is like that supportive friend who will like every one of your posts, no matter how many cat memes you share. Except, instead of cat memes, it's your deepest spiritual insights. No pressure, right? So, remember, folks, with Neptune doing the backstroke in Pisces, it's time to go forth, be weird, embrace your inner nerd, and spread the cosmic love. And don't worry about Neptune, it's too far away to judge you.

Pluto

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Pluto In Aquarius: The Cosmic Comedy Club

Alright folks, buckle up! Pluto, the celestial bad boy and notorious transformer, has decided to take a jaunt through Aquarius. Now, we can all agree that life as we know it is about as stable as a Jenga tower in an earthquake, right? But listen, when Pluto waltzes through Aquarius, it's going to be like sticking a 'Back to the Future' flux capacitor on that tower.

You see, Pluto isn't into small talk or minor changes. No, this planet is all about the drama - think makeover montages but for your soul! It's all about shedding old skin, stepping out of that dusty cocoon, and becoming the butterfly you were always meant to be. So when I say transformation, I don't mean changing your profile picture on Insta, but rather, an existential overhaul.

Now, let's not forget Aquarius. Our friendly neighborhood water-bearer is all about progress. This sign is like that nerdy kid in high school who was always inventing stuff. Only now, they've invented a time machine, and they're taking us along for the ride!

So what can we expect from this celestial comedy duo? Worldwide changes in science and tech? Absolutely. Unexpected space travel opportunities? Probably, so pack your spacesuit and remember there's no bathroom in a rocket! But the real beauty of this cosmic dance will be the profound shifts in civil rights and humanitarianism. It's like every person becomes a superhero in their own story, fighting for justice and equality. It's less 'Avengers Assemble' and more 'Humans, Unite!'

In our personal lives too, this planetary pairing is going to be like a spiritual personal trainer. It'll push us to rethink our place in the world and how we view ourselves. Sure, it's normal to look out for number one, but imagine if we swapped 'me' for 'we'. This is the change Pluto in Aquarius wants to spark in us. It's a call to revolution, folks! So are we going to sit on the sidelines or jump into the cosmic mosh pit of transformation? The choice is yours!

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 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. Laing, Maya Angelou, Jeffrey Archer, Brooke Shields, Margaret Thatcher, Steffi Graf, Barbra Streisand, Farrah Fawcett.

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.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
