Solar activity was at moderate levels. Region 3848 (N13W53, Dko/beta-gamma) was overall stable and relatively quiet this period. Region 3849 (S07W30, Dai/beta-gamma) underwent some consolidation in its intermediate area while remaining relatively quiet as well. Region 3852 (S09E12, Ehi/beta-gamma) underwent evolution in its large, leading penumbra as it gained additional spots. Likewise, Region 3854 (S04E20, Dai/beta-gamma) underwent evolution, gaining additional spots in its intermediate area and increasing in overall length. This AR was responsible for M1.4 and M2.1 flares at 11/1604 UTC and 11/1633 UTC, respectively. Region 3842 (S13, L=181) added a long-duration M1.1 flare at 11/2320 UTC, even though it was well beyond the western limb.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!

Solar wind parameters reflected weakening CME effects. Total field steadily decreased from a peak of 40 nT to 10-11 nT over the course of the period. The Bz component began the period strongly oriented southward reaching -37 nT, but gradually rotated back to neutral/northward with magnetic cloud passage. Wind speeds varied somewhat reaching peaks just under 800 km/s early in the UTC day, but have since decreased to ~650 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative while taking brief excursions to a positive orientation late in the period.

There is a 20% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 10% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Aquarius

Oh, cosmic voyagers! Brace yourselves for a wild ride because the Moon is kicking its boots off and chilling in Aquarius like a mad scientist at a disco party. Currently, it's approximately only 365,565.866497371 kilometers away. I know, right? Quite the social distancing champ we have here. Now, as your friendly neighborhood astrologer, I must tell you, a Moon in Aquarius is like a unicorn in your garden - whimsically weird, but also promising a dash of magic! This lunar position is all about embracing your unique quirkiness. So, if you feel like wearing socks with sandals or eating a pizza with pineapple (yes, I said it!) - go for it! Let your freak flag fly high! What's more? Our celestial rock is preparing to pack up its nerdy science books and its tie-dye shirts to shift into the dreamy realm of Pisces within the next 24 hours. So, buckle up, folks! It's going to be like trading a Star Trek marathon for a deep dive into fantasy land, filled with unicorns, rainbows, and probably a talking cat or two. So, in the immortal words of the great philosopher, Spongebob Squarepants, "I'm ready, I'm ready!" And you should be too! Embrace the eccentricity, welcome the whimsy, and remember - the universe doesn't make mistakes, it just has a crazy sense of humor. Keep looking up, stargazers!

Mercury

Mercury is in Libra

Mercury is prograde at 27 Lib 30' 28", moving at 1.62 degrees per day, and is 211593205km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Libra

Beware, fellow Earthlings! Mercury is in Libra!

Alright stargazers, strap on your cosmic seatbelts and get ready for a wild ride. Mercury, our chatty neighbor, has decided to throw a party in Libra and you're all invited! This isn't just about star-crossed lovers or that cute barista who's been making eyes at you - nope, we're talking about everyone from your bossy aunt Bertha to that coworker who keeps stealing your sandwiches. It's like a high school reunion, except you actually have to talk to people.

Now, when Mercury and Libra get together, it's less 'Housewives' drama and more 'Justice League' diplomacy. Libra, in case you've forgotten, is represented by those scales you see in every courtroom drama, and Mercury is all about communication. So, imagine you're in an episode of 'Law & Order', but instead of catching bad guys, you're balancing out your relationships. Exciting? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely!

Here's the catch though - the cosmic combo of Mercury and Libra can turn us into candy-coating diplomats. Don't let your sweet tooth fool you - sugar-coating issues won't make them disappear. Avoid playing the cosmic version of "nice guy" - honesty is still the best policy. Remember, variety is the spice of life, and that includes opinions too. You can be a Jedi of justice without resorting to Jedi mind tricks.

So, in the wise words of RoboCop, "Stay out of trouble", but remember to communicate openly, honestly, and with respect. After all, Mercury may be millions of kilometers away, but its influence is as close as your next conversation.

Venus

Venus is in Scorpio

Venus is prograde at 23 Sco 17' 05", moving at 1.21 degrees per day, and is 194121557km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Scorpio

Venus in Scorpio - Alien Remix

Attention earthlings! Your friendly neighborhood Venus has taken a detour and is currently chilling in Scorpio's backyard. We're talking about the celestial equivalent of swapping out your pumpkin spice latte for a double shot of espresso - it's gonna be intense!

Venus, our galactic social butterfly, has decided to buddy up with brooding Scorpio. This might sound like a plot from a cosmic sitcom, but trust me, it's no laughing matter. This pairing is like if Romeo and Juliet decided to go on a spelunking adventure - deep, dramatic, and likely to leave you questioning some life choices.

Now, I'm not saying you're gonna start obsessing over your crush like a teenager who's just discovered love songs, but... okay, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's time to trade in those candy crushes for some real heart palpitations. Love is gonna get real, folks, whether you're ready or not.

And remember those annoying relationship issues you've been avoiding like spoilers for the final season of Game of Thrones? Well, Venus in Scorpio is about as subtle as a fluorescent pink elephant in a tutu. It's time to shine a UV light on those shadows and deal with the gory details. Financial concerns? Power struggles? They're all coming out to party.

But hey, don't panic! It's not all doom and gloom. Sure, Venus in Scorpio can feel like you're doing emotional squats, but it's also a chance to strengthen your bonds. If you're prepared to face the music, this could be a transformative time that brings you closer to your partner. Think of it as couples therapy, but cheaper and with more stargazing.

So buckle up, space cadets! Venus in Scorpio is here to shake things up and it's going to be one hell of a cosmic ride!

Mars

Mars is in Cancer

Mars is prograde at 20 Can 29' 51", moving at 0.48 degrees per day, and is 173836467km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Cancer

Mars in Cancer: A Galactic Groovy Adventure

Gather 'round, cosmic comrades, for Mars is making a pit stop in the celestial Crab Shack of Cancer! *Cue dramatic space music* At a whopping 285,046,237.710341334km away, our fiery friend is really stretching its feelers into the watery world of Cancerian vibes. But fret not, dear stargazers, for this cosmic union is like a galactic potluck, blending the best of both worlds!

As Mars voyages through the sensitive seas of Cancer, we are graciously gifted with a cosmic combo of Martian initiative and Cancerian caretaking. You might feel like a celestial superhero, ready to preserve family values, honor the past, and use that futuristic jetpack to propel you gently into the days ahead.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Nerdy Astrologer, isn't Mars all about action, and Cancer more about chillin' in its cozy crab cave?" Well, my observant oracles, you're right! Mars may be toned down while cruising through Cancer, but it's still got those celestial get-up-and-go vibes. Channel that energy into some good ol' fashioned home improvement – just imagine, wielding your cosmic hammer and nails to create the ultimate intergalactic relaxation station!

But wait, there's more! Mars in Cancer also brings out the celestial mama bear in all of us. You may find yourself ready to defend your loved ones or fight for your domestic bliss with the ferocity of a supernova. This planetary pairing creates an intensely protective instinct that'd make even a Klingon warrior proud.

However, beware the dark side of this cosmic collaboration! Mars' journey through cautious Cancer can lead to some passive-aggressive tendencies. If your heart isn't in it, you might find yourself drifting through space without a clear course. Plus, actions taken under the influence of this celestial combo can sometimes be more reactive and oversensitive than purposeful. So, stargazers, be mindful of your cosmic compass and remember to navigate with love and intention.

As Mars prepares to blast off from Cancer into the roaring realm of Leo in the next 24 hours, take a moment to reflect on the lessons learned during this cosmic adventure. Embrace the Martian-Cancerian balance of passion and preservation, and boldly go where no astro-nerd has gone before!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Gemini

Jupiter is retrograde at 21 Gem 19' 23", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 674633423km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Gemini

Jupiter in Gemini: The Cosmic Comedy Show

Alright, star gazers, buckle up. Jupiter's pulled into Gemini's driveway and it's not just for a quick cup of sugar. It's like the universe's version of an intellectual house party! You know, the kind where you end up debating quantum physics with a philosophy major dressed like Albert Einstein at 2 AM. That's the kind of party Jupiter and Gemini throw together.

Jupiter is the Professor Dumbledore of planets, always encouraging us to expand our minds, while Gemini, our cosmic chatterbox, is the kid in the front row with their hand perpetually raised. "What's this? What does it mean? Why is it like that?" Yes, Gemini, we get it, you're curious. But this combo can leave us feeling like we just ran a mental marathon… in moon boots... uphill.

But hey, it's not all cerebral sweat and tears. Gemini's diversity adds technicolor to Jupiter’s intellectual black and white TV. Suddenly, we're not just at a crossroads, we're at the center of a cosmic spaghetti junction, with paths, shortcuts, bridges, and even a wormhole or two. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but every page leads to more options.

And let's talk about the talk. Gemini is the social butterfly of the zodiac, flitting from one conversation to another. With Jupiter in town, everyone's got a dose of the cosmic giggles. Our witty repartee will be sharper than Sagittarius’s arrows, and we’ll find ourselves with more ideas than there are stars in the sky (okay, maybe not that many, but you get the idea).

While Jupiter is playing roommate with Gemini, expect to be busier than a Mars rover. We’ll be gobbling up information like a black hole, spitting out brilliant ideas like supernovae. The challenge will be to keep all those cosmic juggling balls in the air.

So, folks, as Jupiter swings through Gemini's starry neighborhood, remember to keep your mind as open as a satellite dish and as flexible as a space-time continuum. The floodgates of possibilities are about to unhinge. So whether you're pondering life's big questions or just deciding on pizza toppings, embrace the cosmic comedy that comes with this celestial transit. After all, we could all use a good

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 13 Pis 40' 32", moving backwards at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 1320615478km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn In Pisces: E.T. Phone Home... Or Maybe Just Call Your Therapist

Alright, fellow stargazers, do you feel that? That's Saturn in Pisces and it's the perfect time to put on your space snorkel and dive deep into the nebula of your inner psyche. You know that crazy idea you've been toying with? The one about starting a unicorn grooming business or writing a memoir that details your love affair with pizza? Yeah, that one! Well, now's the time to stop daydreaming and start doing. Saturn, AKA the cosmic taskmaster, is teaming up with Pisces, the zodiac's dreamy fish, to give you a cosmic kick in the pants.

But beware, my celestial comrades, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbow rocket rides and interstellar ice cream. Saturn is like that nosy landlord who always seems to show up unannounced. Sure, he might catch you dancing in your underwear to '80s synth pop, but he's also there to tell you to clean up your act. So, instead of slapping a "No Alien Lifeforms Allowed" sign on your door, open it up and let Saturn in. His advice might be as welcomed as a black hole at a spaceship party, but trust me, it's worth listening to.

Now, with all this intergalactic introspection going on, it's not surprising if you're feeling a little like a sleep-deprived astronaut floating aimlessly in the void. But don't despair! This is the perfect time to channel your inner Zen master. Meditate, take a moonlit stroll, practice some deep space breathing techniques, or simply take an afternoon nap (just be sure to keep that dream journal handy!). And while you're at it, maybe hit the hay a bit early. You've got a universe inside you to explore and trust me, it's way more exciting than the latest episode of "Keeping Up with the Klingons".

So, in conclusion, embrace the lessons that Saturn in Pisces has to deliver. They may seem as foreign as a Martian language at first, but with some patience and open-mindedness, you'll soon be navigating your own personal cosmos like a seasoned space captain. And who knows, you might even decide to finally open that unicorn grooming business after all!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 26 Tau 36' 00", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2806806149km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: A Cosmic Ride on the Bull

Alright, cosmic voyagers, brace yourselves! Uranus has swaggered into Taurus and let me tell you, this is like inviting a quantum physicist to a medieval joust. You just know it's going to get interesting!

Taurus, a zodiac sign slower than a dial-up connection in the '90s, prefers things steady and unchanging. Like binge-watching an entire series without a single plot twist or cliffhanger. But then along comes Uranus, the celestial equivalent of a software update right in the middle of your favorite game. It's disruptive, sure, but also necessary for leveling up!

Picture this: Uranus is the Spock of our solar system—logical, unemotional, and always ready to challenge the status quo. And Taurus? It's more of a Captain Kirk—passionate, loyal, and a bit stuck in its ways. This union is bound to create some Star Trek-level drama, folks!

And where does this drama unfold? In the realm of money—Taurus' favorite playground. With Uranus in Taurus for the next seven years, we're in for some revolutionary changes. Imagine cryptocurrency becoming as commonplace as ordering pizza online, banks turning into digital dinosaurs, and the housing and stock markets doing the cha-cha on a rollercoaster. Exciting or terrifying? You decide!

On a personal level, this transit is like that one episode where the crew realizes they’re trapped inside the Holodeck. We need to break free from the clutches of materialistic Borgs—debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages—and redefine our relationship with money. Resistance is futile! Uranus is here to liberate us, and even the most stubborn among us (yes, Taurus, I'm looking at you) can't stop this cosmic transformation.

So buckle up, space cadets! This is one interstellar ride that promises to shake us out of our comfort zones and lead us towards greater stability. By the time Uranus packs up and warps out of Taurus, we might just thank it for the upgrade! Beam me up, Uranus!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 27 Pis 56' 38", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4333224062km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, gather round stargazers and let me tell you a little something about our buddy Neptune who is currently sashaying its way through Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Who cares? I mean, Neptune is like 4.3 billion kilometers away, why should I give a darn?" Well, my friend, just like how we love that Wi-Fi signal from our neighbor's router, even though it's not in our living room, celestial bodies affect us from afar too! Now, Neptune in Pisces is like having a hot cup of cosmic tea, brewed with a healthy dose of emotion, a sprinkle of spirit, and a pinch of unity. Suddenly, you see the world from a new perspective, like when you finally clean your glasses after weeks of ignoring the smudges. Petty differences? Pfft, they vanish faster than my motivation to do laundry on Sundays. This combo calls for us to dig deep and figure out what we bring to the cosmic table. Maybe you're good at making people laugh, or maybe you can cook up a storm, or perhaps you're just really good at finding the best Netflix series before anyone else. Whatever it is, we all have something to contribute. This period is also the perfect time to explore your spiritual side. No, I'm not suggesting you start levitating or talking to your houseplants (unless that's your thing, then go for it). But it could be as simple as dedicating a quiet corner of your room for meditation, or really diving into that yoga practice you've been thinking about. The energy of Neptune in Pisces nudges us to share these ideas with the world. And remember, like a reliable Wi-Fi connection, Neptune's got your back during this process. So, whether you're sharing a newfound recipe, a hilarious joke, or your top pick for a binge-watch, know that Neptune is cheering you on from a mere 4.3 billion kilometers away!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 29 Cap 38' 31", moving at 0 degrees per day, and is 5224802141km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Alright, Earthlings! Strap in, because the cosmic roller coaster is about to take a wild turn. Pluto, our favorite misfit planet (or dwarf planet, for the pedantic among us) is doing its cosmic tango in Capricorn for another day before it sashays into Aquarius. Today, we're focusing on the oh-so-serious sign of the Goat. Now, you may be thinking, "Pluto and Capricorn? That's like putting Spock at a disco party!" And you're not wrong! Pluto, the brooding loner of our solar system, and Capricorn, the ambitious, no-nonsense taskmaster, together make a power couple that doesn't have time for your nonsense. They're here to get stuff done, even if it means throwing a few metaphorical elbows. During this transit, you might find yourself caring less about others' opinions and more about achieving results. Kind of like when you're playing Monopoly and suddenly realize Grandma isn't the sweet old lady you thought she was, but a ruthless property mogul who'll bankrupt you for landing on her hotel-riddled Park Place. Pluto, in all its dark and mysterious glory, wants us to let go of things that aren't working. It's a bit like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to toss out what doesn't 'spark joy'. Except, in this case, it's more about chucking out negative patterns rather than that horrid sweater Aunt Mildred knitted for you last Christmas. Remember, destruction can be creative. Just ask any toddler or Godzilla. So, there you have it. Pluto in Capricorn. It's a bit like attending an intergalactic board meeting while wearing tie-dye. It's serious, it's quirky, and it's definitely going to shake things up. So, put on your cosmic hard hat and prepare for a day of constructive destruction. And remember, no matter how far away Pluto may be (I'm talking 5,373,325,522.063078880km away), its influence is just a cosmic heartbeat away.

Current Planetary Positions

The Sun

Sun Square Mars

You are full of it today, high energy, force of will, and a dislike of any restraint. Slow down a little so you don't go flying off the handle. Physical, mental, and verbal confrontations are likely today, so stay in control. Don't speed today as the police may be watching you. Don't stay out in the sun too long. Your will is tested today and the universe wants to see if you can keep your head. As they say, "Don't have a cow." Ego conflicts and selfishness are today's problem areas.There is an unmistakable competitiveness and a “me-first” attitude with those who have Sun square or opposition Mars in their natal charts. The fighter persona is most apparent in youth, when the child is described as a “bundle of energy”, or it is remarked that he or she “can’t sit still”. The abundant energy generated by the hard aspects (especially the square) between the Sun and Mars is hard to direct in childhood. Later in life, ideally, those with these aspects have learned to channel some of their excess energy into productive avenues–perhaps through career, sports, or any area where competitiveness is considered an asset. Nevertheless, people with these aspects can meet up with more than their share of conflict, and they can most certainly rub people the wrong way. They are very motivated to get things done, to take action rather than simply talk about something, and to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Those who know them quite well might describe these people as hot-headed and temperamental at times. They are easily frustrated, and they’re given to impulsive actions and assertion of their wills. If the aspect is found in cardinal signs, it gives impulsiveness and a short temper. If the aspect is found in fixed signs, the natives can be very hard-headed and willful. If it’s in mutable signs, it gives a restless and frustrated impatience.Essentially, those with Sun square Mars in their charts have faced conflict and are not particularly afraid of it. They have faced having their need to assert themselves blocked. Their parents may have done as much as they could to “tame” what they felt to be excess energy or aggression. In other words, they know all about conflict and blockages, so that when they are faced with a challenge or a roadblock, they don’t run away from it or hide under the covers feeling sorry for themselves. They meet challenges head-on.Sun opposition Mars people are more confrontational and argumentative than active. In youth, they might feel that they often face anger from others. They might see the Mars energy as coming from the outside. If and when they face the fact that the aggression is actually a part of their own personalities, they are more equipped to direct the competitive energy into productive avenues.Some Famous people with Sun square or opposition Mars: Jennifer Aniston (Sun square Mars and Neptune in fixed signs), Bob Dylan, Madonna, Muhammad Ali (square), Anne Heche (opposition), Jim Morrison (opposition).Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.Sun in hard aspect to Mars: In this life you are learning to embody and express the energies of the warrior; courage, action, forcefulness, the ability to fight for what you want and need. However, these positive qualities can quickly degenerate into unnecessary and excessive aggression, discordant relationships, even violence. Your tendency to be impatient and hot headed, and to see everyone as a potential competitor or rival, may draw out the anger and combativeness in other people. Your challenge is to learn to use your overabundant energy in productive, or at least not destructive, action. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.Sun square Mars: Sun/Mars aspects enhance your courage, assertiveness, leadership, independence, and love of power. You seek an exciting career that will allow expression of your natural enthusiasm, energy, entrepreneurial drive, and crusading spirit. When you stand up for your beliefs and values, you inspire others to follow your lead. You like being in charge and would probably feel stifled in a routine job or a subordinate position. You enjoy adventure and competition, and may be interested in Mars-ruled careers like the police, detective work, the military, politics, sports, debating, engineering, construction, haircutting, or any field that uses sharp instruments. If you do not learn to control your impulsivity and restlessness, you may be prone to headaches, nervousness, irritability, angry outbursts, accidents, or problems with the law. The Rambo movie character would have this aspect in his chart. — Interpretation from our Career Report.Sun square Mars: This is a highly emotional and fiery tempered child. The child will probably be very self-assertive not to mention argumentative. So a few lessons in toeing the line will be necessary. Kids with this aspect are often too quick to pick up a challenge even when none was intended. They must learn to calm down and not be quite so hasty. Training this child to take full responsibility from an early age, without attaching guilt, is by far the best approach. Sometimes these kids may not even recognize the effect their nature has on others, so they will be genuinely confused at the reactions an outburst may cause. The poor kid may stir people without even knowing it, by tone of voice, body language, or by not saying anything. But most importantly, put some effort into allowing this child to recognize the sheer potency of this powerful energy. Help him/her to utilize it thoroughly. The child must learn to bow out now and again – it is not always possible to run the show. Being the most dogmatic, vocal, and aggressive does not necessarily make for the best leader.Often there will be a quick temper that flares suddenly. The big lesson is to make this child responsible for any outbursts rather than reacting or maybe turning a blind eye for the sake of peace. There could be a good reason for such anger. Encourage a positive discussion making this a part of the training and guidance needed for a calmer, more in control, child. This aspect makes for some bad drivers. It also produces many good athletes. This is the real difference between using this energy constructively or destructively. — Interpretation for the KidZone report.Sun square Mars: There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you need most is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support is there, you can’t get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where it was you wanted to get to, sort of “all dressed up, but which way to go?” It could be historical, too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father — a struggle between that which seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions — a need to succeed and be all that you can be. — Interpretation from WinStar.Sun square Mars: (The Outraged) It is difficult for you to see a need for concession. You have no patience with another’s input when you are confident you are right. You may work harder than others and your ego demands you receive full credit. If denied or opposed, your fiery reactions may eclipse the rewards you have earned. By learning that compromise is the blending of positive energies, you employ the wisdom of a respected master instead of the mandates of a tyrant welcomed by none. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

The Sun

Sun Trine Jupiter

Today should be a fortunate day for you. Your confidence and optimism are high. Today is a good day to put plans into action and to participate in group activities.

They are quick to chuckle and can’t resist any appeal to their sense of humor. Some people with this aspect are downright jolly. Others are less conspicuous, but their faith in life and willingness to find humor in life are nevertheless obvious.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Hank Aaron, Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Evel Knievel, Shari Lewis, Carol Lewis, Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles – Prince Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis Presley.Alternate interpretations:Sun trine Jupiter: You have big aspirations but do not struggle or labor to achieve them. Your self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefits to you in an almost magical way. Your optimism and cheerful generosity also win you many allies and successes in life. — Interpretation from our Merlin Profile report.Sun trine Jupiter: The qualities of luck, energy, magnanimity, and good spirits here are pronounced. If you also have Moon square or opposition Saturn, or Sun square or opposition Uranus, or Moon conjunct Mars, or Sun square or opposition Saturn: The creative urge is also brought out.You have lots of vitality and optimism, together with a broad, tolerant, philosophic viewpoint – a sort of hail-fellow-well-met person making friends readily and generally keeping them. This is an excellent position for business. If you also have Mars conjunct Jupiter, Jupiter conjunct Saturn, Jupiter conjunct Uranus, Jupiter conjunct Neptune, Moon square or opposition Saturn, Moon conjunct Mars, Sun square or opposition Saturn, or Jupiter sextile or trine Saturn: You find a successful career of considerable scope and influence.In a professional or artistic career this insures financial return. No poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going for a long time. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun trine Jupiter: Jupiter, the planet of mercy, confers an optimistic approach whenever there are life challenges to be met. This aspect is fortunate because it promotes successful outcomes in general, as far as personal goals and recognition.You’re a generous and loyal friend. You are basically honest and you have a sincere desire to do right by your fellow man. It’s easy for you to be indulgent with others and you’re a naturally big-hearted person. Use this trait with open eyes. — Interpretation from the Your Life Path report.Sun trine Jupiter: Being successful in life is easy, for you have a built-in sense of how to approach and unravel even the most difficult problems. You have an instinct for justice and the law, and you always know how to approach a problem from just the right angle. This ability makes you a natural counselor or guide for others, in particular regarding vocational matters. Working with and helping older persons is also suggested. — Interpretation from Zet Software.

Mercury

Mercury Square Pluto

You may experience verbal boxing matches today along with a test of wills. Propaganda may be spread that just isn't true. Don't bully people into seeing the rightness of your cause. Be tolerant of others' viewpoints. Remember, you're not always right.You are so perceptive and you dig so deep for answers that you can be your own worst enemy. As a result, you might find ulterior motives or dark intent where there is none, and your suspicious, provocative attitude can cause some problems in your personal life, particularly if it reaches the level of paranoia. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that you are inclined to do, and a tendency that should be kept in check in your dealings with others. However, your determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if you employ it in your work, for example, which can involve investigation and research, psychology, or revealing and perhaps dark creative arts. You can be insatiably curious about all that is hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret. You have a great love of debate, but should be careful that you don’t overpower others with your strong opinions, attempting to “convert” them to your frame of mind, or treat regular debate or exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Many of you do learn to harness your intense mental energy and apply it productively. You are capable of very hard work and effort.Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report — You are bright and insightful but the very strength and depth of your vision can mislead you. In consequence, you get in your own way a lot. The magnitude of a project can intimidate you so that you don’t even embark on it. You are a perfectionist and compulsive. You fear being judged by others as inadequate and this quality has you afraid to act. Of course, you do overcome this many times in your day to day life, but it goes smoother for you when you stop attributing negative motives to those around you. You are able to do this when you feel better about yourself. Periods of meditation and contemplation are necessary to get to know yourself.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Pluto: Squares – Hank Williams, Brigitte Bardot, Bjork, Bo Derek, Cloris Leachman, George Lucas, Mickey Rooney, Franklin D.

Unstable romantic infatuations and impractical or irresponsible attitudes and conduct in relationships should be guarded against. There is a desire to break free from binding partnerships. Impulsive spending may be your idea of breaking free. Be careful during this transit because you are probably not thinking with your head, only your heart, which is your wild side right now. Your behavior now may be so bohemian or bizarre that people turn against you. Settle down and apply self-discipline.The need for stimulation and the need to break the rules with regards to love and romance is apparent when Venus squares or opposes Uranus in the natal chart. These people can confuse their partners readily with their on-again off-again energy when it comes to matters of the heart.

They can alienate partners by adopting an “I don’t care what you do” stance when they feel threatened. The truth is, they do fear rejection like anyone else, but they don’t always want to admit it, and they can turn quite cold when they suspect their partner doesn’t care. The energy of Venus-Uranus in hard aspect is embodied in the expression, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”.

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.
