Moon Is In Pisces

Alright, Star gazers! Buckle up, 'cause the Moon is doing that Pisces jig again. Now, I'm no psychic but when the ol' cheese in the sky goes all fishy, things tend to get a tad emotional around here. You may feel like you've been dunked headfirst into an ocean of feelings – that's Pisces for ya, folks! It’s not every day the universe decides to give you a cosmic cleanse, but hey, who am I to judge? Now, don't go planning any intergalactic voyages just yet. The Moon is practically next door at a mere 365,438.300558564 km away. In space terms, that’s about as close as your friendly neighborhood convenience store, except you can't buy milk or Doritos there. Just remember, even if we could, the zero-gravity Doritos crumbs would be a nightmare. But fear not, this emotional whirlpool won’t last forever. In the next 24 hours, our dear moon is going to gate-crash into Aries' party. So, brace yourselves for a sudden, fiery urge to take charge and perhaps, an inexplicable desire to butt heads with everyone around you. But until then, let's stay in this Piscean sea of sentimentality, shall we? Maybe it's time to bust out those old Marley records, light some incense, and find your zen. After all, we're just stardust floating in an infinite cosmos, trying to make sense of the universe while simultaneously wondering why we can't remember where we put our glasses this morning. Ah, the mysteries of life! Good luck, space cadets, and remember - keep looking up!

Mercury Is In Leo

Alright space cadets, strap in and hold onto your horoscopes because our celestial speedster, Mercury, is doing a victory lap in the fiery realm of Leo. This cosmic combo is basically like if Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bob Ross had a celestial offspring with a really, really good hair day. Now, Mercury, being the communication whizz that it is, has decided to crank up the volume on the lion's roar. Translation: You've got a free pass to say what's been marinating in your noggin. But remember, Mercury's got a lead foot and Leo is as subtle as a supernova, so don't be surprised if your words come out with the speed of light and the subtlety of a big bang. This planetary cha-cha is also turning your charisma up to eleven. Think of yourself as a cosmic lion, mane defying gravity, strutting across the universe with the confidence of a catwalk model. Need to deliver that TED talk you've been procrastinating? Now's your time to shine brighter than a quasar! But wait, there's more! Mercury in Leo is also like the ultimate artistic muse. It's like your creativity just drank a gallon of Red Bull and is ready to pull an all-nighter. So dust off your paintbrushes, tune your guitars, or even dig out those interpretive dance leotards (I won't judge) - it's time to create like Van Gogh on a starry night! So, fellow stargazers, get ready to blaze a trail across the zodiac, because with Mercury in Leo, we're not just shooting for the stars - we're becoming one!

Venus in Leo, or When the Universe Throws a Disco Party

Alright, folks. Listen up because the universe is spinning its disco ball and you're invited to the party. Yes, that's right, Venus has taken up residence in Leo and she's brought her dancing shoes. You see, when Venus, the goddess of love, rumba dances into the sign of Leo, the King of the Jungle, things get... well, let's just say "extra." We're talking grand romantic gestures, declarations of love that could make Romeo blush, and yes, perhaps even a few temper tantrums worthy of a Hollywood diva. During this cosmic shindig, no one wants a mere pat on the back or an 'atta boy'. Oh no, we want to be adored. We want our names lit up in the night sky - preferably with eco-friendly LED lights because, you know, we care about Mother Earth too. The point is, if you're not ready to play big, you might as well sit this one out. Now, I must warn you: Leo is a drama king. If you're not lavishing them with the attention they believe they deserve, they might roar their displeasure. So, don't be surprised if you find yourself in a heated debate about who was supposed to take out the trash. Just remember: there's no 'I' in 'we', but there's definitely one in 'diva'. And then there's the matter of money. When Venus is in Leo, your wallet might feel a little lighter. Why? Because Leo likes the finer things in life. We're talking about champagne wishes and caviar dreams here folks. But remember, Leo's also got a heart of gold, so splashing out on extravagant gifts for others will bring you more joy than a solo shopping spree. All in all, Venus in Leo is like attending a cosmic fiesta, complete with sequins, glitter, and maybe even a conga line. It's a time to re-ignite your relationships, add a little sparkle to your life, and remember that without a bit of fun and passion, life's just a series of tax returns. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to boogie!

Flash Gordon Meets Mars in Gemini

Alright, space cadets! Buckle up because Mars, our friendly red neighbor, has decided to shimmy its way into Gemini's dance floor. Now, don't be a couch potato during this celestial boogie! With Mars in Gemini, we're more excited than aliens discovering Earth's Netflix. There's a whole universe of ideas out there waiting to be explored - faster than you can say "quantum physics."

But, be warned, my star-gazing comrades: there's a catch. While the interstellar landscape may seem as diverse as a Comic-Con, it's harder than understanding Schrodinger's cat to stay focused on one thing. We're like kids in a cosmic candy store, darting from one shiny object to the next. But hey, who said diversity wasn't fun? So, if your Plan A turns into a black hole, no worries! You've got a whole alphabet of plans waiting to be launched.

Gemini, our celestial Peter Pan, loves fun and games, but with Mars in the mix, it's not all rainbows and unicorns. We have the attention span of a goldfish on caffeine, fluttering from one interest to another. It might leave us feeling as scattered as the Big Bang, but hey, that's where the universe came from, right?

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the spaceship – passion and intimacy. Mars, our red-hot Romeo, is not just about action and drive, it's also the planet of passion town. And while Mars is DJing in Gemini, your brain becomes the biggest erogenous zone. Yep, you heard it right! Your mind needs some intellectual foreplay before anything else. So, grab that telescope, look up at the night sky, and get ready for some stellar conversations and cosmic connections. Remember, a meeting of the minds can be the most powerful aphrodisiac when Mars is doing the rumba with Gemini.

The Cosmic Juggler: Jupiter in Gemini

Put on your cosmic thinking caps, earthlings, because Jupiter has rolled into Gemini's turf and the celestial DJ just cranked up the volume on the cosmic chatterbox. Yes, you heard it right! The Big Guy of the cosmos, renowned for his wisdom and expansive thinking, has sidled up to the celestial Twins, known for their quick wit and insatiable curiosity. It's like a galactic convention of intellectual superheroes, or perhaps a space-time continuum version of a nerdy comedy club!

Jupiter says "Go deep!" Gemini squeaks "Go wide!" And we're all caught in the middle, like a clueless freshman at a quantum physics and metaphysical philosophy mixer. You feel overwhelmed? Well, imagine being a hamster suddenly given an infinite maze filled with cheese! Endless possibilities and endless questions. "What is this?" "What does this mean?" "Is this gouda or cheddar?"

But fear not, my fellow stargazers! This is not a cosmic calamity, but rather a celestial celebration of our mind's diversity. The universe is handing out tickets to the multiverse, baby! Under the influence of Jupiter in Gemini, there are no simple forks in the road. You're looking at multi-dimensional interchanges, portals, wormholes, and yes, the occasional rainbow bridge (because why not?!).

And let’s not forget about the gift of gab. With Jupiter in Gemini, expect to find yourself in riveting conversations at every corner. Your local coffee shop becomes the United Nations of Ideas, your group chats will resemble a hive mind buzzing with epiphanies, and everyone will be giggling with glee. So, embrace the chatter, folks! It's not just hot air; it's the wind beneath your intellectual wings.

Prepare to be busy, though. You'll want to absorb everything, like an intellectual sponge in a sea of knowledge. Your mind will pop with ideas like popcorn in a cosmic microwave, so many that you might need an extra set of hands to juggle them all. Not to worry, I hear cloning is just around the corner!

So, get ready to flex those mental muscles because Jupiter in Gemini is like a celestial gym for the brain. Remember, it's all about balance: between depth and breadth, certainty and curiosity, gouda and cheddar. So

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 18 Pis 54' 04", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 1338367205km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Ahoy, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up, because we're about to embark on an interstellar journey where Saturn, that stern taskmaster of a planet, has decided to park itself in dreamy, watery Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Isn't Saturn a bit of a buzzkill?" Well, my friends, it's true. Saturn is the planetary equivalent of that one professor who always assigns extra homework right before spring break. But, there's a silver lining here! Saturn's move into Pisces is like your favorite science teacher taking a sabbatical to teach creative writing. It's the time to take those ethereal daydreams of yours and add a dash of Saturn's practicality. Thinking of opening a bookstore? Penning a sci-fi novel? Designing an eco-friendly spaceship? Now's the time to lay down the blueprints, draft the plot, or calculate the fuel efficiency of your hyperdrive. But remember, Saturn isn't known for being a pushover. It's going to scrutinize those dreams of yours like a nerdy detective, armed with a magnifying glass and an uncanny ability to spot plot holes. So, when Saturn barges into your mental space like a cosmic cleanliness inspector, don't slam the door. Listen to what that old taskmaster has to say; it's got more wisdom than Yoda on a good day. Now, with all this cerebral action happening in Pisces' territory, you may find it hard to catch some Z's. After all, Pisces is the ruler of dreams and sleep, and Saturn's visit might be like having a caffeinated houseguest. But, fear not! This is the perfect time to channel your inner hippie: meditate, take long walks in nature, practice deep breathing, or even nap with a dream journal at your side. Heck, you might want to hit the sack early just to give your brain time to unwind. So, fellow star travelers, as we traverse this cosmic landscape where logic meets dreams, remember: in the grand scheme of the universe, 1338429552.801224470km isn't really that far at all. Happy stargazing!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 26 Tau 39' 08", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2987236422km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: Hold Onto Your Wallets and Knickers, Folks!

Well, well, well, Taurus, it seems like you've got a cosmic bull by the horns. Our good old friend Uranus (no snickering in the back, please) has decided to take up residence in your sign. Now, I know what you're thinking - "But I like my stability! I don't want any changes, especially not big, sudden ones!" Well, buckle up, buttercup, because that's exactly what Uranus is all about, and it's decided to crash at your place for a while.

Think of Uranus as that eccentric uncle who shows up unannounced and turns your life upside down, but in a good way. Sure, things might be chaotic for a bit, but once the dust settles, you'll find he's renovated your living room, organized your kitchen, and somehow managed to install a jacuzzi in your bathroom. That's Uranus for you. A little shocking, a lot disruptive, but ultimately leaving you in a much better place than you were before.

And since you're Taurus, the financial guru of the zodiac, expect Uncle Uranus to do some serious tinkering with your cash flow. We're talking revolutionary ways of handling money, both on a personal and global scale. Don't be surprised if you wake up one day to find that your old piggy bank has been replaced with some futuristic cryptocurrency wallet. And let's not even get started on what could happen to banks, housing, and stock markets. It's going to be a wild ride!

On a more personal level, Uranus is going to encourage you to break free from your fiscal chains. Debts, taxes, credit card interests, rent, mortgages - all these shackles that have been holding you back are about to get a Uranian overhaul. And it's not just about money. This is a time to rethink your relationship with material possessions in general. Do you really need that second toaster? Probably not.

So, get ready to roll with the punches, Taurus. Change is coming, whether you like it or not. But trust me, once you let go and let Uranus do its thing, you might just find yourself in a more stable, liberated place than ever before. Here's to seven years of cosmic chaos and transformation!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 29 Pis 47' 36", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4388145116km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Alright, my stargazing compatriots, let's talk about Neptune in Pisces. Now, to start off, for all you sticklers for detail, Neptune is precisely 4,388,200,672.217085838km away... which is a cosmic hop, skip, and a jump really. And our big blue buddy is currently doing the moonwalk (Retrograde, for the uninitiated). So what does this all mean for you? Well, buckle up! When Neptune and Pisces get together, it's like the universe's best optical illusion: you suddenly see things for what they are, not what they appear to be. All the little squabbles, the disagreements, the "you put the toilet paper roll on the wrong way" arguments? Yeah, those seem pretty silly all of a sudden. We're talking a cosmic epiphany about unity, folks. You'll start seeing the gold nuggets of value in coming together, and the path to wholeness will light up brighter than a supernova. Now, during this celestial shindig, it's time to take a good long look at yourself. What can you bring to the space party? Maybe you've got a talent for healing or an idea that could quite literally change the world. Or perhaps you've got dreams so big they could fill the Andromeda galaxy. No matter what it is, Neptune in Pisces is your VIP pass to explore these offerings. And while you're at it, why not dip your toes into some spiritual waters? Take a course, build a shrine to your favorite alien species (no judgement here), or simply connect with whatever makes you feel like you're part of the grand cosmic tapestry. Remember, Neptune in Pisces is putting out the welcome mat for you to share these spiritual discoveries with the world. And trust me, the universe is listening. So don't be shy, step up to the cosmic karaoke machine and share your song. The universe is ready for your interstellar debut!

Pluto in Aquarius: The Big Bang Theory of Life

Alright, star gazers and quantum enthusiasts, it's time to put on your lab coats and your spiritual tie-dyed tees. Do you know why? Well, Pluto, the lord of transformation, is sauntering through Aquarius, the sign of progress. It's like if RoboCop decided to swap his heavy-duty titanium exoskeleton for a cool, futuristic spacesuit. And folks, this cosmic event is as big a game-changer as that sounds!

You see, when our buddy Pluto changes lanes, it's not about getting a new haircut or switching to almond milk lattes. No, no, no! Pluto is all about soul-level makeovers: shedding identities that don't quite fit anymore and tossing out outdated perspectives like last year's fad diets. It’s about making space in your spiritual closet for new threads of enlightenment.

Aquarius, on the other hand, is the Elon Musk of the zodiac - all about innovation, progress, and probably has plans for colonizing Mars. So, when these two forces combine, it's like a cosmic Big Bang! Expect to witness groundbreaking advancements in science, tech, and maybe even teleportation (one can only hope).

But let's take a moment and zoom out of the tech-world. This planetary duo isn't just about gadgets and gizmos. They're also rallying for social change, humanitarian efforts, and civil rights. Imagine governments and systems, traditionally as compatible as oil and water, finding common ground. It's like watching Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker bury the lightsaber and open up a father-son bakery.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is nudging us to change our 'me' perspective to a 'we' perspective. It's like reprogramming your internal GPS from 'selfish route' to 'compassionate highway'. And the question is, will you heed the call or keep hitting the cosmic snooze button?

So, my celestial nerds, brace yourselves for this Pluto in Aquarius transit. It's going to be as wild and exciting as a ride on the Millennium Falcon. And always remember, the force – or rather, the universe – is with you!

The Sun

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.

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

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.

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.
