Moon In Scorpio

Scorpio's moon reminds you to avoid distractions. Your emotions are likely running pretty strong, so make sure to focus and don't take things too personally. Don't jump to conclusions. That said, those strong emotions might be useful in your love life!

Notice that you're reacting a little more harshly. You're going to be a little more passionate. You're likely to push your limits. Take advantage of this to be more introspective of your feelings and let them guide you.

Well, my dear stargazers, that's precisely the beauty of this transit. We get to explore new territories and find solutions in places we've never even thought of before. It's like mixing peanut butter and jelly - it shouldn't work, but it's simply delicious. So buckle up, because Mercury in Pisces is taking us on a journey to the furthest reaches of our minds.

Venus

Venus is in Aries

Venus is prograde at 24 Ari 21' 25", moving at 1.21 degrees per day, and is 196091238 km away and approaching.

Well, well, well, look who we got here. It's Venus in Aries, making us all feel like we're a bunch of love-struck teenagers again. This transit offers a fresh start for matters of the heart, money, and self-awareness. Old patterns and dull relationships? Ain't nobody got time for that anymore, my friends. Instead, we're all about new experiences and spontaneous encounters, because who needs predictability when you can have excitement? Now, Aries is a pretty independent sign, focused on itself and its own interests. So, if you're in a relationship, things may seem a little selfish or unbalanced during this transit. But hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing. For all you single folks out there, it's time to identify your own needs and explore your options. Venus in Aries ignites a courageous fire within us, making us more confident and assertive when meeting new people. And when it comes to money, invest in yourself, baby. Treat yourself to something that will boost your confidence and make you feel alive. But be careful, because that instant gratification bug may bite you in the ass if you're not careful. Overall, Venus in Aries is a test phase. It's about living in the moment and going after what you desire. So, embrace this transit, my friends, and don't settle for anything less than what makes your heart sing.

Pluto

Mars

Mars is in Gemini

Mars is prograde at 23 Gem 51' 45", moving at 0.44 degrees per day, and is 188060079 km away and receding.

Alright, my fellow stargazers! If you're feeling a bit scattered lately, blame it on Mars in Gemini. This transit has got us flitting around like butterflies, exploring new ideas and hobbies at breakneck speed. But don't worry, we're not alone - this childlike, fun-loving sign is all about diversity and flexibility, so we're free to taste-test our way through life without making any major commitments. But be warned - while we're busy chasing after every shiny object that catches our eye, we might leave a few projects unfinished. So try to stay focused, or at least have a Plan B, C, and D ready to go. And when it comes to matters of the heart, forget about traditional romance - with Mars in Gemini, the biggest turn-on is a meeting of the minds. So get your mental stimulation on, and enjoy the ride!

Well, well, well, looks like Jupiter is in Aries and it's time to ignite our minds with some innovative ideas. This isn't the time to sit around twiddling your thumbs, no sir! It's time to step fearlessly into uncharted territory and blaze a trail of your own. Don't waste your time trying to strategize every little detail, just feel the spark of inspiration and run with it! But don't forget, this is also a time for self-learning and taking risks. You can't always rely on others to teach you everything you need to know. So, don't be afraid to try things out on your own, even if you don't feel totally prepared. And hey, whether you succeed or fail, you'll still learn something valuable either way. Just make sure you don't get too wrapped up in your own views and opinions. We're all in this together, folks! Embrace two-way dialogue and keep an open mind. Remember, this is a time to expand, not contract. So, go forth and make your own luck! Embrace your potential and realize that you hold the key to your big, bright, and happy future. Jupiter is counting on you to put it in the lock and turn it.

Listen up, space cadets! Saturn is in Pisces, and it's time to look inward and connect with your daydreams. You know, that book you've been meaning to write or that business you've been dreaming of starting? Well, now is the time to make it happen. But don't think it's going to be a cakewalk - Saturn is the Master of Rules, and he's here to give you a coaching for the ages. So, get ready to take notes because Saturn in Pisces is going to help you plan out every detail of your dream. You'll need to work out a budget, write a business plan, and even look into loan options. It may feel like Saturn is intruding on your daydreams, but trust me, his advice is more helpful than you'd like to admit. But be warned, this transit may also bring some restlessness and trouble sleeping. So, take some time to cultivate inner calm, whether it's through meditation, a walk in the woods, or a good old-fashioned nap (but have a dream journal ready!). And don't forget to get a full night's sleep - you'll need it to hear and heed the deep wisdom available during this transit. So, buckle up, buttercups, because Saturn in Pisces is going to take you on a wild ride through your own mind. But with a little patience and a lot of note-taking, you'll come out on the other side with a clear path to making your dreams a reality.

Greetings earthlings, it's your favorite astrologer, Seven of Nine. Today, let's talk about Uranus in Taurus. Now, Taurus likes things steady and stable, but Uranus is all about sudden changes. So, we're in for a wild ride, folks! Money is Taurus' main domain, and with Uranus in the mix, we can expect some revolutionary changes in how we handle our finances. Banks could crash and burn, and brand new forms of currency may arise. So, hold on tight to your wallets, and keep an eye on the stock market. But Uranus in Taurus isn't just about global finances. It's also about breaking free from the grips of money on a personal level. Debt, taxes, interest rates - they might be preventing us from saving or using our money the way we want to. This transit encourages us to change our relationship with materialism and money. It's time to liberate ourselves and embrace change, even if it makes us a little uncomfortable. Trust me, it'll be worth it in the end. So, buckle up and enjoy the ride. With Uranus in Taurus, we might just end up in a better place than where we started. Live long and prosper, my friends.

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 24 Pis 58' 30", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4622902791 km away and receding.

Well, well, well, looks like Neptune is currently in Pisces, folks. This cosmic combo is granting us a unique form of sight. It's like suddenly seeing through the fog and shedding light on our own contradictions. We can now see how silly it is to care about petty differences. The value of coming together shines like gold! This is the time to explore our emotional intelligence and figure out what we can contribute to our collective progress and healing. We all have gifts, ideas, and dreams for how things could be. And let me tell you, Neptune in Pisces is like a divine invitation to share those offerings with the world.

Pluto is in Capricorn

Attention, dear horoscope reader! Pluto is currently in Capricorn and this means one thing: Successsss! Both these planets are all about power and focus, which can make you a force to be reckoned with. But beware, you may become so driven that you forget to consider the feelings of others. Don't let your need for success turn you into a heartless Dalek! Pluto wants you to ditch negative patterns that are holding you back, but be careful not to destroy everything in sight. Just like a Dalek's weapon, your destructive tendencies should be used wisely and with precision. So aim carefully, and your efforts will be rewarded with success and power. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely, my friend!

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Conjunct Mercury

You may feel like expressing yourself today through your thoughts and words. You feel a need to be heard, that you have something of importance to say. Say what is on your mind, but give equal time to others and listen to them. You might learn something new. Your thinking today should be sharp and focused.

The Sun

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

The Sun

Sun Conjunct Neptune

You may feel a need to identify with others, to really understand them, and get closer to them sympathetically. At the same time, you may feel a need to escape from the trials of the world and get into a world of your own. Escaping like this is okay as long as it is done in a positive way, say, through meditation. Escaping by means of alcohol or drugs could be dangerous. Even though you may be tempted, do not give in to a desire to avoid all duty and responsibility today. Do not run away. Face things squarely. Be on guard for trickery.

Mercury

Mercury

Mercury Sextile Uranus

Your thinking today is ingenious, original, clever, sharp, and magnetic. Electricity is in your head and probably the rest of your body. You are full of nervous energy, but it is the type that can help you accomplish more. New and exciting opportunities may come about today through travel, conversations with others, or through new reading material. Go exploring.You are open to new ideas, and come up with your own fair share of unique perspectives yourself. You have a technical bent and might take special interest in computers, technology, and science. Your intuition is very strong and mostly leads you in the right direction. You have a friendly, tolerant, and unprejudiced manner. You avoid making unfair judgments, being hypocritical, or stereotyping. You are very truthful and abhor modes of thinking that are biased and narrow. You are resourceful, witty, and quick to grasp and understand new subjects. Your thinking is often quite naturally outside of the box and very quick, and it can be baffling to you when you observe others who don’t get to the same conclusions as you in half the time. Still, you require much space and freedom to do your own thinking, and you don’t take kindly to anyone trying to force-feed you information or opinions. You are at your mental best and most cooperative when you have had the chance to find your own inspiration, and you easily feel hypocritical if you don’t–a feeling that doesn’t sit well with you one bit.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mercury and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Lawrence Welk, John Steinbeck, Donald Sutherland, Erik Satie, Martin Sheen; Trines – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Tracey Ullman, Marilyn Manson

Venus

Venus Sextile Mars

Harmony in social activities is highlighted today. Activities with the opposite sex are enjoyable and rewarding. Romance is in your blood. Show someone you care for them. They will appreciate your sharing your feelings. Clean your house and do that redecorating you had planned. Make your surroundings more beautiful.It is easy for these people to attract attention of the positive kind. They radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm on some level that others appreciate. Not inclined to try to cover up their flaws, these people have a way of presenting themselves in a straightforward manner, and their ability to admit their mistakes and their fumbles only adds to their charm. They find it easy and natural to get along with both sexes quite equally. They possess considerable creative talent, but whether or not they use it is dependent on other factors. They may take their own talents for granted and often need some kind of stimulus or encouragement to do something with them. One of the reasons for this is the fact that their creativity comes so naturally to them that they may be surprised when others recognize their talents. Similarly, they usually possess athletic ability and may need some encouragement to develop it.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Venus and Mars have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report — Actively creating harmony and beauty through your work, art, or with people is part of what you are here to do. You have developed a harmonious coordination between the masculine and feminine energies within yourself; thus, you combine strength with grace, power with elegance, decisiveness and effort with pleasure, passion with tenderness and sensitivity. You have a romantic soul.Some positive expressions of this pattern might include athletic activities that have an aesthetic appeal, such as figure skating, or artistic endeavors that are active, such as performing dance or opera singing.Actively bringing people together in some way, for mutual pleasure and benefits, is also one of your gifts.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Mars: Sextiles – Pamela Anderson, Shannen Doherty, Ian Thorpe, Harry Belafonte, Kirk Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Jane Curtin, Matt Damon, Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford, Erich Fromm, Crispin Glover, Elliott Gould, Amy Jo Johnson, Bob Newhart, Molly Ringwald, Robin Williams; Trines – Melissa Anderson, Jason Bateman, Pierre Cardin, Natalie Cole, John Coltrane, Mick Jagger, Ann Jillian, Billie Jean King, Marilyn Manson, Joe Montana, Bonnie Raitt, Eva Mendes, Britney Spears.

Mars

Mars

Mars Square Neptune

You may feel self-doubt and inadequacy today. You are probably extra sensitive today, so don't take offense where none is meant. If you are taking medication, remember that less is more because of your heightened sensitivity. Watch that people don't take advantage of you with a sob story or some deal that sounds too good to be true. Stay alert to people not telling you the whole story behind something. Take care of your physical self as your immune system might not be as strong today as usual.This is a challenging position, as you have difficulty trusting in your ability to go after things that you want in a direct manner. It may also be that you have difficulty pinpointing what it is that you want, or that part of you doesn’t feel you deserve it due to a basic lack of self-confidence. You fear rejection as well as criticism, and often use roundabout means to go after what you want.Your imagination is so powerful that it can be hard to trust your instincts. You easily imagine things going wrong, just as you easily fantasize about good things! Your desire nature is strong yet also very suggestible. You’re attracted to mysteries and intrigue. Sexual experimentation is likely, as you are forever addicted to sensuality and unusual or perhaps even what many would consider perverted sexual scenarios. However, your sensual appetite might be much like a bottomless pit, and you could find yourself forever in a state of wanting more, tiring of regular sexual scenarios quickly, and endlessly searching for the next sensation. If an addiction to fantasy is present, you can find yourself constantly chasing a new and more complicated fantasy. It is only when you get into touch with your heart and discover your true desires that you realize that sensations are merely sensations–not deeply satisfying or fulfilling.Fears of sexual inadequacy can be great with this position, and you may either deny yourself as a result, or overcompensate, seeking out experiences in which you are pretty much assured positive feedback. Some of you will experience both of these extremes in your lifetime. I have a client with this position who has a “trophy” wife, and she often denies him, and even belittles him, on a sexual level. He accepts this but “gets her back” behind her back, having serial affairs with women who are not considered as attractive for whatever reason and with whom he attempts to reclaim his power.One of the interesting things about this position is that if you are involved in immoral activities, guilt has a way of cropping up in unusual ways, and could lead you on a self-destructive path–and you might even know that you’re heading that way, yet you compulsively follow that path. Part of you might want to get caught! You might, for example, know in your mind that doing something is risky, yet you compulsively do it anyhow, perhaps even finding the challenge invigorating.Although you can be very creative at keeping your motives and personal agenda hidden–in fact, many of you seem on the surface of things to be quite gentle and yielding–you might eventually become resentful if you feel the need to resort to sneakiness in order to get what you want out of life. This is one of the things that has struck me as the most common characteristics of Mars-Neptune people. It’s not that they don’t get angry or show that anger. However, many will give in to another’s desires more often than not, yet become resentful of that person who seems to have control over them. Some will give up their power to a partner, for example, often taking the role as the one who gives in or gives up things in order to make the other happy. However, resentment for this builds, and while people with harmonious Mars-Neptune aspects more easily yield to others without anger for doing so, those with hard Mars-Neptune aspects are more likely to feel stepped upon, and to retaliate in covert ways. If you do feel resentment for giving up your power to someone else, learn to avoid giving it up unless you truly understand that you are doing it for yourself, and not for someone else. Resentments have a way of building and distorting themselves into ugly matter if you don’t deal with them properly and directly. You are often passive-aggressive in your approach to others, and this can cause a lot of problems in your life.You are usually found chasing a dream… or a fantasy. The former is probably the better path.Somehow, others are bound to eventually sense that you are not to be trusted, and this is often for good reason! You may not like to admit this to yourself, as you may have built excuses for your deceptive or sneaky behavior. However, adopting a more direct and assertive approach to life is something that you should be working towards. You will need to get over your feelings of guilt when you do adopt this approach. Learning to take responsibility for your actions, and to avoid blaming others for failures, is important.At your worst, you can be disorganized in your approach to life, easily procrastinating and lacking follow-through when you do begin a task. Some of the most important lessons you need to learn in life are self-control, self-assertion, and trust in yourself. At your best, you are a creative person with a powerful imagination and great stores of compassion.Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. You tend to swing from one extreme to the other–asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy. Passive-aggressiveness can be a problem in your life. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. You tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.You may lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You could suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area. However, this tends to change as you mature. As you overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the capacity for spiritual ecstasy.You may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married or simply hard to reach. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish her to be rather than as she really is. You may find that you lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex, or that the relationship is largely unfulfilling.

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.

Listen up, astro-fans! The stars are aligning in a way that's sure to make you feel like a science experiment gone wrong. With the solar kp index remaining quiet, it seems like we're all in for a nice, calm ride. But watch out, because the solar wind speed is above average, which means retrograde effects are about to get moderately increased. #HoldOnTight The waning gibbous moon is in Scorpio right now, so it's time to keep your eyes peeled for any signs of betrayal or deception. Don't trust anyone who tries to convince you that they're actually a shape-shifting alien from another planet. #TrustNoOne Looking ahead, the next new moon is coming at us fast and furious on March 21, 2023. So if you're looking to start something new, mark that date on your calendar and get ready to blast off into the unknown. But be warned, the full moon on April 6, 2023 is going to be one wild ride. #BuckleUp So remember, my fellow star-gazers, the universe is a strange and mysterious place. But with a little bit of science, a dash of humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, we can all navigate these cosmic waters together. #StayWeird #KeepStaringAtTheSky #TheTruthIsOutThere
