The Sun

Solar activity reached moderate levels due to an M1.2/Sf flare at 28/0907 UTC from Region 3450 (S19E58, Dai/beta). Region 3450 was responsible for the majority of the C-class flares. Slight growth was observed in Region 3450 as it rotated further into view. Regions 3435 (N10W77, Cso/beta), 3445 (S14W49, Dao/beta), 3447 (S22W31, Csi/beta), and 3449 (N15E16, Dao/beta) appeared to be in decay. The rest of the spotted regions were relatively stable.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters were near nominal levels with solar wind speed around 350-440 km/s. Total field ranged from 4-8 nT while the Bz component was between +/-4 nT. Phi angle was mostly positive. Solar wind speeds that indicated 500 km/s were non-physical due to very low densities.

There is a 10% chance of solar activity, with a 1% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waxing moon is currently in Aries, at 03 degrees, 45' 31", at a velocity of 14.9 degrees per day.

The Full moon is currently 14.6 days old. It is 366645.75 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 17:55:08, 14 Oct, 2023. The next full moon is at 20:24:27, 28 Oct, 2023.

Moon Is In Aries

Alrighty then, space cadets, grab your telescopes and don your celestial thinking caps! The Moon, our lovely lunar neighbour, has decided to pop over into Aries for a cosmic cuppa. Don't worry, it's not physically moved to Aries (that's 361101.675047235km away, give or take a few decimal points). No need to rewrite the physics textbooks just yet, eh? Now, the Moon in Aries is a bit like a hyperactive squirrel on a cosmic coffee binge. It's all about action, impulse, and a dash of impatience. Sort of like when you've had one too many espressos and suddenly feel the urge to redesign your entire house at 3am. So, what does this mean for you? Well, my wonderful star gazers, it means it's time to harness that energy. Time to dust off those forgotten projects, or perhaps start that DIY quantum physics experiment you've been putting off. (Disclaimer: please do not actually attempt to create a black hole in your kitchen. I'm still dealing with the paperwork from last time.) This energy can also make you a bit, well, prickly, like a hedgehog at a balloon party. So, try to remember to count to ten before you unleash your inner warrior. Or, better yet, channel that energy towards something productive, like figuring out why socks always disappear in the dryer. Remember, we're all spinning on this big blue marble together, so let's make the most of it. And if you happen to find out where all those missing socks go, do let me know. I've been wondering about that for centuries...

Mercury In Virgo: The Nerd's Nirvana

Ding, ding, ding! Do you hear that? That's the celestial bell tolling, folks. The planet that rules over communication, Mercury, has just pulled up into Virgo's driveway, ready to shake things up. And by 'shake things up', I mean 'make everything more precise than a NASA Mars landing'. For all you lovers of clarity and precision out there, it's like Christmas came early this year.

Remember those blurry lines of communication? Those muddled thoughts? Wave them goodbye, my friends. They're about to be as extinct as the dodo bird. Virgo, being the meticulous, detail-oriented sign it is, is here to help you strip down all the unnecessary fluff and get straight to the point. We're talking surgical precision kind of clarity here. Bye bye, sugar-coating. Hello, truth bombs!

And productivity? Oh boy, are we going to see a spike in that! It's like the universe just handed us a cosmic espresso shot. You'll be slicing through dead-end ideas and circular conversations like a hot knife through butter. This is the time for forward movement, people. Think of it as your personal warp drive kicking into high gear.

But hold on to your telescopes, folks. There's a caveat. We're about to enter the danger zone of becoming hyper-critical. With our newfound powers of analysis, we could turn into fault-finding machines. And trust me, no one likes a human error detector. So, let's not forget to keep our tact filters turned on. We don't want to be raining on anyone's parade with a barrage of unsolicited criticism, do we?

So buckle up, folks! It's time to embrace the nerd within us and make the most of this Mercury in Virgo transit. Just remember, keep it kind, keep it precise, and above all, keep it nerdy!

Venus in Leo: Let the Love Games Begin

Hold on to your telescopes, star gazers! Venus has sauntered into Leo like a flamboyant catwalk model, and things are about to get hot, heavy and a bit over-the-top. Prepare to unleash your inner drama king or queen, because this celestial combo makes love as subtle as a supernova.

With Venus in Leo, you won't just want to be liked or appreciated. Oh, no. You'll crave adoration with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. This is not the time for half-hearted love sonnets or timid box of chocolates. Bring out the skywriters, hire the mariachi bands, and let's get this love parade started!

But beware, my cosmic comrades, for this astral alignment doesn't come without its fair share of celestial soap opera. Leo is not just all fun and games—it's also the zodiac's resident drama royalty. Feeling ignored? Expect a few fiery tantrums and passionate arguments that could make even a telenovela blush. Remember, even in the cosmos, it’s important to share the spotlight. After all, no planet orbits alone.

And what about money, you ask? Well, with Venus in Leo, money isn't just a means to an end—it's confetti to be thrown at the party of life! This is a time when Leo's extravagant tastes shine brighter than a freshly polished Hubble Telescope. So go ahead, splurge on that glitzy outfit, buy that outrageously large bouquet of roses. But remember, Leo’s heart is as generous as its taste is luxurious. The joy of gifting others can surpass even the thrill of self-indulgence.

So, folks, as Venus twirls into Leo, let's not just watch from the sidelines. Let's embrace the passion, the drama, and the flamboyant celebration of love. After all, a universe without a little bit of cosmic chaos is like a black hole—no fun at all!

Mars in Libra: A Dance of Diplomacy

Well, folks, grab your dancing shoes because Mars is doing the cosmic tango with Libra. Picture this - Mars, our celestial drill sergeant, is now taking etiquette lessons from Libra, the cosmic diplomat. It's like watching a bull trying to navigate a china shop... delicately.

While Mars is chilling in Libra, we're all going to be more focused on our relationships. You'll start to notice things like why your partner insists on squeezing the toothpaste from the middle (Seriously, why?!). But it's not just about nitpicking; it's about understanding and finding that sweet spot of coexistence.

Mars in Libra is the ultimate peacemaker, turning us all into cosmic diplomats. We're less likely to start a war over who left their socks on the floor, and more inclined to approach it with a calm dialogue. But remember, being a diplomat doesn’t mean sweeping issues under the cosmic rug. It's about addressing them with grace and understanding, even if it's about something as nonsensical as misplaced socks.

But here’s the twist! Libra, the ever-balanced scale, is also all about justice. So, strap on your superhero cape because it’s time to fight for what’s right and fair. Don't worry, though, this isn't a call to join the Avengers. It's about standing up for the little things in life, like equal distribution of chores or fair share of the last piece of pizza.

One downside? Mars in Libra might make us more indecisive than a kid in a candy store. Mars is all about 'Go, go, go!' while Libra wants to sit down, have a cup of tea, and ponder over every possible outcome. It's a celestial tug-of-war that might leave us in a state of procrastination paralysis. But don’t worry, as long as you're acting with love and fairness, you're making the right moves under this cosmic dance.

So, let’s embrace this celestial tango between Mars and Libra. After all, life is about finding balance, even if it involves Mars learning to waltz!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 14 Tau 34' 35", moving backwards at 0.08 degrees per day, and is 620526854km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Ah, my dear stargazing compatriots, let us journey to the cosmos and tread upon the rich soil of Taurus where mighty Jupiter is currently loitering. Yes, you heard that right, 620,580,408.483722329 kilometers separate us from the gas giant and it's having a bit of a cosmic sulk, going retrograde on us. Now, some of you might be thinking, "What's the big deal? Planets go retrograde all the time, right?" Ah, but it's not just any planet, it's Jupiter—the celestial embodiment of wisdom, deep thoughts, and probably a few bad dad jokes. And it's hanging out in Taurus, the zodiac equivalent of a stubbornly comfy couch potato. Imagine their cosmic tête-à-tête as the ultimate stay-at-home retreat. You've got Jupiter, pushing you towards a Netflix marathon of philosophical documentaries, while Taurus supplies the popcorn and insists on staying in your PJs all day. The answers you seek, my friend, aren't in some distant galaxy—they're in your own brain, patiently waiting to be discovered between episodes of Ancient Aliens. But don't get too comfy on the metaphysical sofa! This planetary mashup isn't just about deep thoughts; it's also nudging us towards tangible goals. It's time to dust off those dreams you've been shelving and start making some progress. With Jupiter's boundless energy and Taurus's stubborn persistence (seriously, have you ever tried moving a bull?), you've got all the cosmic support you need to start checking off your bucket list. And let's not forget about the moolah! Jupiter, the cosmic sugar daddy, is in Taurus, the zodiac's bank vault. Smell that? That's the scent of prosperity in the air. If you've been looking for a sign to review your finances and make some savvy moves, consider Jupiter's retrograde your celestial green light. But beware, dear stargazers! Taurus is known for its love of the finer things in life, and Jupiter might just be that bad influence friend who encourages you to splurge. Remember, even in the face of tempting cosmic energy, patience is a virtue. Keep an eye on your impulses and remember that all good things come to those who wait (and budget wisely). So there you have it, folks! Jupiter in Taurus: a time of deep thoughts, practical goal-setting, potential prosperity, and the occasional reminder to keep

Saturn Is In Pisces

Starfleet Log, Astrological Date: Saturn In Pisces

Now listen up, star gazers! Saturn has taken a detour and is hanging out in Pisces, that's right, the big kahuna of discipline is vacationing in dreamland. It's like Spock deciding to take up interpretive dance, intriguing and a little unnerving. Now, Saturn is a whopping 1,334,420,719.796137333km away (give or take a few hundred kilometers), and currently in retrograde, but don't fret! This isn't a glitch in the matrix or a warp core breach, it's an opportunity!

When Saturn, the Borg of the astrological world, assimilates with Pisces, the Holodeck of dreams, they create one heck of a life coach. This is the perfect time to engage in some serious self-reflection. You know that daydream about penning a novel or starting your own intergalactic coffee shop? Now's the time to make it so! Prepare for a Vulcan mind-meld of epic proportions as you take those dreams and start charting the course to reality. Dream big, plan bigger!

But, let's be real, having Saturn in Pisces is not like replicating a chocolate sundae. It's more like Neelix’s Leola Root Stew - at first, you might want to resist it. But remember, Saturn is like the Captain Janeway of the planets, tough but fair. It's here to bring order to your dream chaos, so let it in, even if it feels like a surprise away mission into your most intimate thoughts.

Pisces, the celestial equivalent of the ship's counselor, might make your sleep patterns go haywire faster than a run-in with a spatial anomaly. So, take a page out of the Vulcan playbook and meditate, stroll in the arboretum, or heck, even give Vulcan lullabies a try. Remember, rest is not a luxury, it's a necessity. So, power down your tricorder, put your PADD away, and get a good night’s sleep. Your dream journal awaits, ready to record the wisdom that this transit has to offer.

So, folks, Saturn in Pisces is not a red alert situation, it's an invitation to boldly go where you haven't gone before! It's all about finding order in your dreams

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 40' 55", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2831745135km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Ah, my dear stargazers, let's warp-speed our way towards the uncharted territories of Uranus in Taurus. Engage thrusters, and brace yourselves for a celestial shake-up, because our friend Uranus, currently retrograding like a technologically advanced starship with a faulty navigation system, is set to dock in the peaceful pastures of Taurus. Now, Taurus, bless its interstellar heart, prefers to keep things as steady as a Vulcan's pulse. But Uranus? It's all about change, faster than a warp 9 sprint through the galaxy! Imagine Taurus as the Starfleet Academy, where tradition reigns supreme. Uranus is the rogue cadet who, instead of following the manual, invents a new method of transwarp beaming! Now, the academy can resist the change, but ultimately, it might just realize that this revolutionary approach could save more lives in future away missions. And when it comes to money, Taurus is like the Ferengi, shrewd and steady. But with Uranus in the mix, we're looking at an economic upheaval akin to the Great Material Continuum getting a sudden reroute! In the course of Uranus' seven-year stint in Taurus, we might see new forms of currency spring up like Tribbles on a starship, banking institutions going through a Borg-like assimilation process, or the housing and stock markets riding a rollercoaster through a wormhole. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Captain Picard urging us to "engage" with our finances differently. Think of debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages as Romulans preventing us from exploring new financial frontiers. Our material possessions may feel like a tractor beam pulling us down. But remember, resistance is futile! We must boldly go towards a new relationship with money and materialism. After all, Uranus is here to liberate us, just like Captain Kirk was to the Enterprise. Digging in our heels won't halt this galactic shift. In fact, embracing these changes could be the key to achieving a stability more solid than a dilithium crystal core. And remember, the changes we make during this period might just stick around longer than a Vulcan's lifespan. So beam up, stargazers, because this celestial journey promises to be one for the star logs!

Neptune's Cosmic Pool Party in Pisces

Alright folks, it seems the universe has decided to throw us a curveball—a curveball named Neptune who's decided to cha-cha its way into Pisces. Picture this: Neptune, the celestial equivalent of that eccentric artist friend of yours, is throwing an exclusive, retrograde pool party in the mystical, watery realm of Pisces. And yes, you're invited!

Now, don't get your space pants in a twist over the 4 billion-kilometer commute. Instead, let's focus on what this means for you. You see, Neptune in Pisces is like a galactic spotlight, illuminating the dance floor of your life. This cosmic disco ball is casting light on those pesky contradictions we all tend to sweep under the rug, turning them into funky dance moves.

No more squabbling over who stole whose cosmic thunder. This transit is all about unity, baby! It's time to stop caring about petty differences and start caring about how we can boogie together towards collective progress and healing. What's your unique groove? What foot-tapping rhythm can you contribute to the cosmic jam?

Feeling a little out of tune? No worries! Neptune's party is the perfect time to learn some new spiritual dance steps or to set up a sacred chill-out zone at home. Go ahead, connect with your innermost sacred DJ, spinning the tracks that feel most divine to you. The energy of Neptune in Pisces is like a celebrity endorsement for your spiritual exploration.

Remember, the universe is our dance floor and Neptune's pool party is just getting started. So, shake off those doubts, grab your cosmic swimsuit, and dive into the deep end of unity and love. Because with Neptune in Pisces, every day is a disco!

Pluto in Capricorn: The Cosmic Clean-Out

Hey there, star gazers! So, Pluto, the little planet-that-could (or dwarf planet, depending on who you ask – don't get me started), is hanging out in Capricorn. Now, if you’re thinking of a cute Disney dog meeting a mountain goat, you're not alone, but let's get back to astrology. This celestial configuration is like your no-nonsense friend who hates clutter and loves organizing. They come over to your place, see your chaos, and are like, "This needs to go!" but they're talking about your emotional baggage, not your collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Pluto is all about transformation, you know, the kind that turns a caterpillar into a butterfly or a pint of ice cream into regret. And Capricorn? Well, it’s the ambitious, goal-oriented sign that's more serious than your mom when she found your report card in the laundry. So when these two come together, it's like a cosmic KonMari method happening in your life. Anything that doesn't spark joy or help you reach your goals is getting tossed out with last week's leftover lasagna. But here's the catch: Pluto and Capricorn aren't really into democratic decision making. They're more like a cosmic dictatorship saying, "You don't need this, trust us," even if you're not quite ready to let go. So beware of becoming so focused on the end goal that you forget to appreciate the journey or listen to others' ideas. Plus, with Pluto going retrograde, it's like it's moving backward, but not really (just like when you 'accidentally' find yourself at the fridge at midnight). It's a time for reflection and re-evaluation, for looking at old patterns and deciding what needs a cosmic kick to the curb. So gear up, folks! It's time for some celestial spring cleaning. And remember, it's not about making your life look perfect, it's about making it feel like yours. So put on that tie-dye apron, get out your metaphorical feather duster, and start discarding what doesn't serve you anymore. And if you stumble upon a light saber or a Harry Potter wand while you're at it, remember: they spark joy, so they stay!

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Opposite Moon

You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to a minimum. Try to understand others' points of view before expressing your own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.People born when the Sun opposes the Moon have an internal struggle between their needs and their wants. In contrast to the Sun-Moon conjunction personality, the Full Moon personality is inclined towards lack of focus and indecision. Their ability to be objective is both an asset and a liability, simply because when they decide on one route, they are pulled in another direction at the same time. Something tugs at them, and they begin to question their stance. “But what if…” and “on the other hand…” are statements they can’t help making and that plague them. While Sun conjunct Moon people have an Aries style about them, Sun opposition Moon natives have a distinct Libra energy about them, in that they are always aware of the opposing point of view, the other side of the coin, and so forth.Their inner struggle is most obvious in their vitality, as both the Sun and the Moon strongly influence the vitality. They have many ups and downs, and it is hard to know if it is physical or emotional. In fact, it’s likely both. These people might spend a week working hard, and the following week they lack motivation and find it hard to accomplish much. Their energy fluctuates more than most people, and it is very much a reflection of what is going on inside.The messages they received in their early lives in terms of what was expected of them were conflicting, and even opposite. Some people born under the Full Moon viewed their parents as two very different and separate individuals who each wanted something very different from their child. Their parents or parent figures “stood for” two very different things, and their child internalized this. There may have been some emotional frustration in connection with the father and a stifling of the go by the mother.It is hard for Sun opposition Moon people to find happiness within themselves. They tend to look outside of themselves for fulfillment. They are inclined to form serious relationships at an early age, simply because of this tendency to try to find an answer to happiness from an “other”. They are prone to divorce, partly because of this prematurity, and partly because their needs are complicated. Full Moon people are also more apt to seek counseling because of this need to find answers.These people appear to be very self-aware. They entertain a myriad of different points of view and perspectives. They are excellent psychologists and are able to read character and uncover motivations–but with an important caveat: if they are too emotionally close to the situation, they fumble. The truth is, although they appear to know much about how people tick, they spend a good part of their lives uncovering more of themselves and learning about themselves. Generally, this is done through comparisons or through the mirror of relationships.They can most certainly frustrate the people who are close to them with their indecisiveness and frequent changes of mind (and of heart). A word to those who deal with this on a day-to-day basis: their changes of heart are not a form of insincerity–they are the result of an internal struggle that is very real and very confusing to live with! Sun opposition Moon people can be temperamental, insecure, and very sensitive. The ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, and to consider other points of view, is a true asset. However, at some point in their lives, they need to uncover what it is they truly want. This comes easy to New Moon people, and can be a life-long struggle for Full Moon people. On the other hand, it is extremely easy for a Full Moon personality to understand others’ points of view–something that doesn’t come as easily to a New Moon personality. Sun opposition Moon people are generally interesting and complex. Born under a Full Moon, they can be a bit “loony”, perhaps manifesting itself in a unique sense of humor.Look for a planet that might trine and sextile the Sun-Moon opposition for a way to release the tension the opposition creates. Somehow, some way, through that planet, its sign, and its house position, the Sun opposition Moon person can find an “answer” to the struggle. Look also to the sign polarity involved for more details of the struggle. If it’s Aries and Libra, for example, there is a conflict between two equal drives to be independent and to depend on others.Some Famous People with Sun Opposition Moon: Lisa Bonet (the aspect is exact, or partile), Barry Bonds, Billy Ray Cyprus, Kirk Douglas, Alicia Witt.People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or trine, and early relationships, in particular, can be challenging until the stressful aspects are recognized as an inner tension.A woman with Sun opposition Moon, who had lived through her parents’ difficult divorce as a child, complained that her husband seemed to be quite complacent about their marriage, simply expecting that it would work out without much effort. His Sun and Moon form a sextile. When faced with a relationship problem, her instinct was to work on it actively, but her husband did not see such a need. In fact, he did not “see” the problems as clearly as his wife did. He felt that she was looking for problems that didn’t exist, while she felt he was taking the relationship for granted by not addressing problems as they arose.A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge – so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun square Moon suggests an internal “war” between two equally powerful desires: the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.

Mercury Trine 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

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.

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. With the opposition, this is especially pronounced–when they are given too much space, they feel unloved, yet when they get the love they seem to crave, they can feel smothered by it. 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”. When close to a loved one, they can eventually feel smothered or antsy if the relationship becomes too predictable. They can also detach themselves from living in the moment and enjoying the love they have. When apart, they feel more free to love. This aspect is common in the charts of people who maintain long-distance or otherwise erratic relationships. There can be abrupt beginnings and endings in relationships. They are not very “good” at endings–they can appear quite insensitive, aloof, and brusque. The “let’s be friends” attitude might hurt a partner who felt there was much more to the relationship. These people have a disdain for conventional, traditional, or otherwise “normal” relationships. They need to learn to balance their need for closeness and their need for freedom. They truly detest social pretenses, and insist on being sincere. Being well-liked takes second place to sincerity.

You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique, creative, or unstable people.#You tend to fall in love instantly, and you need to discriminate between passing sexual fancy and something that can last “forever.” As your intuition develops, you will be able to identify the difference more clearly.

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.
