18 September, 2023


Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3435 (N10E60, Dao/beta) produced the strongest event of the period, an impulsive C3.5 flare at 17/1621 UTC. Associated with the event was a Type II radio sweep (est. 344 km/s) and subsequent CME signature first observed in SOHO LASCO/C2 imagery at 17/1624 UTC, which was not expected to have an Earth-directed component.

The solar kp index is active, reinforcing retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters suggested influence from a transient which aligns with the anticipated arrival of a CME that left the Sun on 14 Sep. An increase from background conditions began ~17/0150 UTC. Total magnetic field strength increased from 5 nT to a peak of 10 nT. The Bz component was mostly oriented far north for the event but briefly reached as far south as -9 nT during the onset. Solar wind speeds reached ~500 km/s near 17/0300 UTC and steadily declined to ~440 km/s by the days end.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The waxing moon is currently in Scorpio, at 00 degrees, 42' 07", at a velocity of 12.35 degrees per day.

The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 2.9 days old. It is 393322.67 km from the centre of the Earth.

Moon Is In Scorpio

Ahoy, celestial voyagers! Buckle up your seatbelts because the moon's just parked itself in the mysterious realm of Scorpio. Yes, you heard it right! Now, I know what you're thinking, "How far is this moon exactly?" Well, let me toss some nerd magic your way; it's precisely 396,490.765530830km away. And no, that's not a typo, my friends. I do love me some decimal points. As we all know, when the moon hits Scorpio, things tend to get as spicy as Vulcan's jalapeños. You thought Klingon Bat'leth battles were intense? Well, hold on to your Tricorders, because the emotional intensity is about to hit warp speed. Just like a Ferengi hunting for gold-pressed latinum, this lunar influence might make you dig deep into the unexplored depths of your personal and emotional mineshafts. As we delve into these star-lit mysteries, remember, it's okay to feel like a Redshirt on an away mission - a little out of place, a bit worried about what's coming next. But hey, the unknown is where the adventure is, right? So, grab your phasers and set them to ‘introspect’. It's time to boldly go where no man...err, no one has gone before. Seek out new life and new civilizations within yourself, explore those inner galaxies, and remember, resistance to self-discovery is futile. But don't worry, just like the universal translator, I'll be here to decode the cryptic language of the cosmos for you! And if you feel like you've been transported into an alternate universe where emotions rule, just remember: this is a temporary wormhole, and like any good Starfleet officer, you'll navigate through it with grace and wit. Because, at the end of the day, we're all just stardust voyaging through this cosmic journey together. So, live long and prosper, my friends, and may the force...oops, wrong franchise. But you get the gist!

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 08 Vir 27' 45", moving at 0.38 degrees per day, and is 124201260km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Mercury in Virgo: The Nitty Gritty Edition

Alright stargazers, brace yourselves because Mercury just pulled into the Virgo station! Now, before you start thinking about the infamous Mercury retrograde and hide under your bed, let me assure you, Mercury is currently prograde. Which basically means it's behaving itself...for now.

With Mercury in Virgo, our minds become as sharp as a tack and our words as precise as the measurements of a NASA scientist on their third cup of coffee. There will be no sugar-coating or beating around the bush during this transit; it's like Virgo handed us all a cosmic scalpel to cut through the clutter of life and get straight to the point.

And speaking of points, Virgo is a master at sifting through tons of information and cherry-picking the essentials. It's like having your own personal Google search engine, except it's not eavesdropping on your conversations. So while Mercury is doing its thing in Virgo, our analytical power levels up like a character in a video game, making us communication superheroes.

But here's the best part - productivity. With Mercury in Virgo, we're more focused than a cat stalking a laser pointer dot. Those dead-end ideas and circular conversations that usually trap us? Say goodbye to them! This is the time for forward movement, much like a roomba with a full battery.

However, there's one tiny catch. This transit can also turn us into hyper-critical beings, always on the hunt for flaws. It's like being turned into a grammar bot that can't stop correcting everyone's tweets. So, while we're all enjoying our enhanced discernment, let's remember not to insult others or get too frustrated with our own flaws. It's all about learning to speak with tact and not letting Virgo's discerning qualities turn us into cosmic killjoys.

So, let's seize this Mercury in Virgo moment, folks! Just remember to use your new found powers wisely, and not get too caught up in the fault-finding frenzy.

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 15 Leo 46' 21", moving at 0.47 degrees per day, and is 64905590km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Well, well, well, isn't it a party in the cosmos! Venus, our lovely lady of love and luxury, has decided to throw on her most flamboyant frock and strut into Leo-ville. I suggest you buckle up, because this celestial soiree is going to be more like a cosmic carnival. You see, when Venus sidles into Leo, she's not here for a quiet cup of tea and a scone. Oh no, she's ready to light the sky ablaze with declarations of love that could rival any Shakespearean sonnet. Expect your dates to be less Netflix-and-chill and more, shall we say, Cirque du Soleil. But hold onto your hats, folks! This isn't just about being liked or appreciated. Under the gaze of Venus in Leo, anything less than adoration will simply not do! It's time to roll the dice, make grand gestures, and risk it all for love. Those who prefer the safety of the sidelines might find themselves outpaced by the more daring romantics among us. Now, I must warn you, with all this fiery passion comes a touch of drama. Leo, after all, is the king of the jungle and doesn't enjoy being ignored. If you're not careful, you might find yourself in the midst of a passionate argument, started purely for the thrill of it. Let's remember, folks, there's no "i" in "we," but there are a couple in "narcissistic." As for money, with Venus in Leo, it's all about splashing the cash to make yourself and loved ones feel like royalty. Leo does have a penchant for the finer things in life. So go ahead, splurge a bit. But remember, Leo is also renowned for their generosity. Giving lavish gifts will bring more satisfaction than treating ourselves. Well, unless you're treating yourself to a brand new telescope, of course. In a nutshell, folks, Venus in Leo is like a cosmic color run. It's vibrant, it's messy, and it's a whole lot of fun. It's an opportunity to rejuvenate your relationships and remember that life without a little excitement is like a black hole – a whole lot of nothing. So embrace the madness, chase the love, and let's make this celestial carnival one for the ages!

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 14 Lib 04' 43", moving at 0.66 degrees per day, and is 377726219km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Mars in Libra: A Nerdy, Hippie Astrologer's Guide

Well, buckle up, cosmic comrades because our red, rust-tinged neighbor, Mars, is traipsing through the refined realm of Libra. That's a hefty 377,715,473.267705739 km jaunt from our humble blue orb. And guess what? Mars is currently doing the cosmic cha-cha in prograde. In layman's terms, Mars isn't moonwalking backwards but strutting forwards. Now, when Mars, your pushy cosmic gym coach, takes a vacation in harmonious Libra, the zodiac's Miss Congeniality, it's like a Klingon attending a poetry slam. There's gonna be a whole lotta 'getting along' vibes wafting around. Mars in Libra is basically a celestial cup of chamomile tea, urging us to be nice, play fair, and most importantly, not throw any cosmic tantrums. But remember folks, this isn't a ticket to play ostrich and bury your head in the sand. Though it might be tempting to wrap yourself in the fluffy blanket of denial, don't. Instead of avoiding confrontation, use these diplomatic vibes to address issues with the grace of a Jedi Knight at a peace treaty signing. Here's the thing, though. Libra, as the zodiac's justice warrior, doesn't just sit around braiding daisy chains all day. Oh no! Libra gets righteously riled up for fairness and balance. So, during this transit, despite the urge to procrastinate or dither, remember to strap on your superhero cape and fight for what's right. At the end of the day, if we act with love, intention, and fairness - even if we're internally humming and hawing about it - we're making the right cosmic moves. So, embrace this Mars in Libra phase as a chance to bring more harmony into your life, without forgetting to stand up for justice and equality. And remember, keep your phasers set on stun, not kill. Peace out, star voyagers!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 15 Tau 16' 07", moving backwards at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 637849812km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Greetings, Earthlings! Or should I say, Star-lings? So, the big news from the cosmos is that Jupiter, our friendly neighborhood planet of expansion and good fortune, has parked its celestial self in Taurus, the Zodiac's most reliable - and let's face it, stubborn - sign. Now, that's like your nerdy friend who always bringing the brainy concepts to the party suddenly deciding to turn up in a tie-dye hippie outfit and insisting on organic kale chips instead of Doritos. You get me? Jupiter in Taurus is kind of like that wise old professor you had in college who would always bring cookies to class. Yes, he'd spout off about quantum physics and the secrets of the universe, but he'd also make sure you had something delicious and comforting to munch on while your mind was being blown. Now, Jupiter being in Taurus is an invitation for a cosmic sprucing up of sorts. It’s like getting a brand new IKEA flat pack furniture with a manual in ancient Sanskrit. You've got the energy of Jupiter cheering you on ("You can do it, buddy!") and the steadfastness of Taurus ("Just follow the instructions, it'll be fine"). This is the time to dust off those dreams that have been sitting in a corner, roll up your sleeves and start building towards them - one Allen wrench twist at a time. And hey, there might be some extra celestial dollars floating around too. Don't forget, Jupiter is also the planet of luck and Taurus loves the bling! But be warned, my friends. Taurus can be quite the indulgent sign. While Jupiter is in town, you might find yourself eyeing that triple fudge chocolate cake when you're supposed to be on a diet. Or splurging on that Star Trek limited edition Spock bobblehead when rent is due. Just remember, with great cosmic power comes great responsibility. So, don't let the good times roll too far away from your long-term goals. So, there you have it. Jupiter in Taurus - a time for growth, practicality, and maybe a little bit of indulgence. As they say in the cosmos, "May the Force be with you." Or was that Star Wars? Anyway, keep looking up!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 02 Pis 14' 35", moving backwards at 0.07 degrees per day, and is 1321482482km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn in Pisces: A Nerdy Astrologer's Guide

Alright space cadets, buckle up because Saturn, that big, gassy uncle of the cosmos, has slipped into Pisces, the zodiac's dreamiest sign. Now, I know what you're thinking, "How can a planet be in a fish?" Well, let me assure you, no marine life was harmed in this cosmic alignment. It's all metaphorical, my friends!

This celestial mashup is like if Spock decided to take up poetry. It's the perfect time to dust off those daydreams of yours. Always wanted to write the next "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or open a UFO-themed café? Now is the time to channel your inner Vulcan logic and lay some serious groundwork.

Beware though, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbows and unicorns. It's more like being audited by a very persistent cosmic taxman. Our friendly giant won’t hesitate to poke and prod at your precious daydreams, asking all the hard questions. You might feel like slamming the door in his ringed face, but remember, his meddling comes from a place of tough love.

Adding to the fun, Pisces – who is basically the zodiac's resident sleep guru – might mix things up for your usual Z's. Expect some restless nights, strange dreams, or even sleepwalking (hopefully not into any inter-dimensional portals). But don't fret, it’s the universe’s way of saying, “Hey buddy, time to find that inner Zen.” Try meditating or take a relaxing moonlit walk. And hey, a little catnap during the day never hurt anyone. Just be sure to keep a dream journal handy, who knows when you'll get your next big idea!

So remember, while Saturn in Pisces might seem like a cosmic clash of titans, it's actually an opportunity for you to boldly go where no one has gone before. So grab your telescope, your dream journal, and your best pair of galactic sneakers, because it's time to shoot for the stars!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 54' 27", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2853747221km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus In Taurus: It's Not You, It's Uranus

Okay my starry-eyed friends, hang onto your cosmic socks because things are about to get a little... Uranian. That's right, our distant celestial cousin, Uranus, has decided to crash on Taurus' couch for a while. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Taurus? Stability is their middle name! They won't take kindly to Uranus' penchant for shaking things up." And you'd be right... except for one minor detail: nobody asked Taurus.

Picture this: Taurus, the celestial embodiment of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," suddenly having to deal with Uranus, who's basically the cosmic equivalent of that friend who decides to rearrange your entire living room because "the Feng Shui was off." It's about as comfortable as a fish riding a bicycle, but hey, it's not like we have a say in the matter. The universe does love its sitcoms.

So, what does this mean for us, the unsuspecting extras in this cosmic drama? Well, for starters, that piggy bank of yours might start looking more like a Rubik's cube. Suddenly, handling money might feel like trying to solve quantum physics on a caffeine high. Banks turning into digital playgrounds, currencies doing the cha-cha, and the stock market playing hopscotch - it’s not the apocalypse, just Uranus in town!

But hold on, it's not all about financial vertigo. This is also a time for personal growth. Or as I like to call it, "Uranian therapy". You see, Uranus isn’t just here to wreak havoc; it’s here to liberate us. The chains of debt, the ghastly specter of taxes, the soul-sucking vortex of rent and mortgages – it’s time to rethink our relationship with these monetary monsters.

So, buckle up, my celestial comrades. This ride might be a bit bumpy, but remember: change is the only constant in the universe. Or as I imagine Uranus would say, "Resistance is futile, but snacks are welcome."

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 26 Pis 18' 18", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4323647856km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, dear earthlings and stardust aficionados! We're talking about our ole buddy Neptune today, who's taken a dip in the Piscean pool for a retrograde respite. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Retrograde? Isn't that when everything goes haywire?" Well, you're not wrong, but let's not get our space pants in a twist just yet. Neptune in Pisces is more like a cosmic Coachella than a planetary problem. It's a fusion of the mystical, the spiritual, and the downright ethereal. Imagine if your favorite sci-fi movie had a baby with a transcendental meditation seminar. That's Neptune in Pisces for you. This celestial event is akin to donning a pair of 3D glasses at the cinema - suddenly, everything pops! Except instead of seeing dinosaurs or superheroes come to life, you're getting a vivid look at the bigger picture. You realize that arguing about whether Star Wars or Star Trek is better is as pointless as looking for intelligent life on Mercury. We're all made of the same stardust, folks! During this time, you might feel like you've swallowed the red pill from The Matrix. You're awakened to the interconnectivity of the universe and the potential for collective progress. It's like a cosmic call-to-action, urging us to unearth our unique gifts, dreams, and ideas that can contribute to the evolutionary upgrade of Team Earth. Maybe you've always wanted to learn about tarot, reiki, or quantum physics. Or perhaps you want to transform your home into a sacred sanctuary (just please, no alien abduction themed decor). Go for it! Neptune in Pisces is all about exploring your inner Yoda and then sharing that wisdom with the world. Remember, fellow space travelers, the universe has got your back during this transit. So, let’s take this opportunity to come together like a celestial Avengers team, each of us contributing our unique powers to heal and progress. Beam me up, Neptune!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 00' 45", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5130677792km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Alright, my cosmic compadres, gather round and lend me your ears for a moment because Pluto’s having a bit of a party in Capricorn and you're all on the guest list. So, what's the cosmic chit-chat about? Well, pull up a chair and let's talk. First off, this isn't just any old planet we're talking about, oh no. This is Pluto, the celestial rock star that's so misunderstood it got booted out of the planet club and then invited back in again. Talk about a cosmic rollercoaster! Right now, our favorite dwarf planet is doing the retrograde rumba in Capricorn - a sign that's as ambitious and disciplined as they come. Picture a high-powered executive with the heart of a mountain goat, and you're halfway there. Now, when Pluto and Capricorn hang out, they're like the cosmic equivalent of a power couple. They're all about results, efficiency, and getting things done. But, just like a caffeinated squirrel on a tight deadline, they can get a bit tunnel-visioned and toss compassion for others' viewpoints out the window faster than you can say, "But I thought Pluto was a dog in Disney..." So, here's the heads up: watch out for moments when you become intolerant of ideas that don't match your own. It's not a good look, trust me. But Pluto isn't just about power-tripping. Nope, it's also about transformation. It's like your personal Marie Kondo of the cosmos, urging you to let go of what no longer works for you. Yes, it may involve some "constructive destruction," but think of it this way: it's a celestial garage sale! So be intentional about what you decide to keep and what you choose to release. After all, even in the vastness of the universe, there's no room for cosmic clutter. And remember: just because Pluto is doing the macarena millions of kilometers away, doesn't mean it can't shake things up in your life. So embrace the change, keep your mind open, and remember to laugh... because the universe definitely has a sense of humor.

The Sun

Sun Trine Uranus

Today is a good day to pour your creativity and self-expression into coming up with new ways of doing things. Positive surprises are likely today as your aura is ready for the new and unusual. By going off the beaten pathway, you may open up many possibilities for further spiritual and personal growth. You feel free today from all restrictions and you want to fly like the eagle, unbounded by any restraints. Soar high and don't limit yourself.

The Sun

Sun Opposite Neptune

Confusion, uncertainty, and delusions of grandeur characterize this transit. Be alert for deception. Avoid becoming the martyr today just because your self-confidence may be low. Don't buy into every sob story that comes your way and don't play the "poor, poor pitiful me" game. Be careful with contracts. In general, be prepared for any kind of possible misunderstanding.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Neptune often struggle with a desire to be something special or to experience something more than the ordinary. They are day-dreamers and idealists. It is easy for these people to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the outside looking in as unsavory types. They are looking to identify with something beyond what is normally expected of people.Most have in common a childhood that didn’t help the natives direct or define their lives. Perhaps the early family life was lacking in supervision or clearly defined rules. A father figure may have been absent or distant and ineffective. Many people with these aspects have a glorified image of their fathers. Whether the image is very positive or very negative (or if it swings between these extremes), the image is not very clear or rational. Whatever the case may be, these people struggle with defining who they are. They might gravitate towards the “wrong people”, or get in with the “wrong crowd” in an attempt to define who they are. They might be susceptible to being taken advantage of by others, especially by men or authority figures. They can be easily led astray by peculiar desires or self-destructive habits. In order to add a greater-than-ordinary dimension of experience to their lives that helps them to feel special and important, they might be attracted to Neptune-ruled behaviors, such as secret affairs, drugs, or other escapist behaviors. In some way, these people feel a strong urge to glamorize their role in the world. In extreme cases, the natives are completely deluded. However, in most cases, there is simply some confusion about the past (such as remembering childhood experiences in ways that are far removed from reality), and a tendency to daydream about being someone more “important” than they assume they are. They may struggle with early conditioning that made them feel tossed aside or neglected in some way, and certainly not directed and supported.These people are very sensitive, especially with regards to any real or imagined blows to their ego. If the natal chart shows a strong sense of reality and a robust mind (Mercury and Saturn well-placed, for example), the negative interpretations of this aspect are less extreme. Still, the natives are likely to recognize at some point in their lives that they have a tendency to engage in escapist and self-destructive fantasies and/or habits. It is useful to be able to connect these behaviors with their probable source, which is likely to be a weakly-defined ego and identity in childhood.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Anjelica Huston, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Cameron Diaz; Oppositions – Sheena Easton.

The Sun

Sun Trine Pluto

You can make important changes in your life and in yourself today. The force of your will and the perception to see what needs changing combine to give you the ability to do whatever is required. Regeneration is possible in any area of your life. Change that bad habit, eliminate what is unnecessary or outmoded. You have the force with you today. Group activities can be especially rewarding today as you can help make the groups' goals a reality. People in authority are receptive to changes today. Lay that new idea on them.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. These people are not much scared of anything. They enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the psychological kind. They love a good mystery, and they are adept at solving it. Many people with these aspects feel they have a “calling” or destiny. They readily assign meaning to what others might consider “ordinary” events. They look for symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly.Others tend to respect those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they are usually quick to help others–not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Their insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. These are perceptive people who are not easily rattled or surprised in life. They are not do-gooders, and they are unlikely law-breakers. However, they are not afraid of the “dark side” of human nature, and they will bend the rules from time to time if they feel the need to do so. Many take particular pleasure in growth and life’s lessons. They are not fond of superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. Some experiment with their powers to deceive at some early point in their lives, but generally grow in their strength and integrity. In fact, many do their best to rid themselves of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to at times. These people are passionate and can be intense. They have a hunger to experience more than just an “ordinary” life, and they can be quite ambitious. Some are perfectionists, demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty from others.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon the talents of this aspect when necessary, and those with the trine have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Famous People with Sun in easy aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Christina Aguilera, Lisa Bonet, Bob Dylan; Trines – Ed Asner, James Caan, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Susan Dey, Sam Donaldson, Chris Evert, Bette Midler.Note from Annie: I have perhaps used more words to describe Sun-Pluto aspects than I have with other planetary aspects. This is because I grew up with astrology books that offered rather dire and extreme descriptions of the aspects. Because of this, I had problems identifying with the interpretations of my own Sun conjunction Pluto as being “power-hungry”, “dominating”, and “controlling”. Some descriptions suggested an attraction to crime. Except in extreme cases, Sun-Pluto people are not extremists hell-bent on destroying or dominating everyone around them. However, they do need to come to terms with their “dark side”, their intense fears, and their tendency to be very self-protective. A more humane and psychological approach to defining the aspects can be found in many modern astrology books, and I think it is very beneficial, especially since one of the main challenges to overcome with Sun-Pluto is for the rational ruler of light (the Sun) to identify with the energies of the ruler of dark (Pluto). Nobody benefits if descriptions of the aspects are so extreme that they are quickly dismissed as “wrong”.

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.

Venus

Venus Square Jupiter

You will probably overindulge yourself today, with regrets later. This is true both with eating and spending. A distinct laziness may overcome you and you will want to be pampered. Self-discipline is needed in order to avoid trouble now or later. Others may think you are too spoiled. Don't procrastinate.These people are big-hearted and warm, with open hearts and a tendency to want to give a lot to the people they love. They can have some problems with following through on their promises, however–not because of any ill intent, but because they sometimes overestimate their personal capabilities, and want to do more, and give more, than is actually possible. At distinct times in their lives, they have a tendency to live beyond their means. They need to be cautious about the tendency to feel overly-optimistic or overly protected. Borrowing from their future and overdoing their indulgence in pleasures is a marked tendency. While people with the conjunction, sextile, or trine between Venus and Jupiter express their bigheartedness, tolerance, generosity, and magnanimity in a generally constant and natural manner, these same expressions for those people with the square, opposition, and quincunx between these planets tend to be problematic at times. Their need for growth, good humor, and fun in their relationships is marked, as is their disdain for insincerity. However, they may attract just those kinds of people simply because they are looking so hard for these traits that they assign them onto undeserving people!Moderation is the most important, and perhaps challenging, lesson in these people’s lives.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report — Your sense of form and harmony extend into the important relationships of your life. You seek a strong philosophical connection to match the physical passion.

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.
