Moon Is In Taurus

Well, gather round you celestial enthusiasts, because the Moon has decided to take a vacation in Taurus. Yes, you heard it right! Our beloved, cheese-covered satellite has settled down for a little chillaxing in the 2nd sign of the zodiac. And let me tell you, the Moon is not just around the corner, nope. It's precisely 373,621.087211766 km away. Not that we're keeping track or anything... Now, if the Moon could pack a suitcase, it'd be filled with fuzzy slippers, hot cocoa, and a whole lot of comfort food because Taurus is all about taking it easy, folks. You might feel an urge to binge-watch your favorite science fiction series, eat copious amounts of pizza, or even talk to your plants. And if you're wondering why you've suddenly developed a deep connection to your cactus named Fred, well, blame it on the Taurian energy. Remember, Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and money. So, you might find yourself daydreaming about winning the lottery or finally getting that promotion. Or maybe you're thinking about that cute barista at the coffee shop? Quit staring at their latte art and make a move! And oh, a pro tip from your friendly, neighborhood astrologer: avoid any bullfighting jokes. The Moon in Taurus might make some of us a bit more sensitive than usual. So, folks, put on your comfiest PJs, grab a bucket of popcorn, and enjoy this cosmic vacation while it lasts. After all, the Moon won't be in Taurus forever. And remember: don't panic, it’s only astrology... with a pinch of quantum physics.

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 25 Vir 15' 19", moving at 1.7 degrees per day, and is 179623049km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Astro-nerds, buckle up! Mercury's in Virgo and it's about to get real - like, "ant at a picnic" level of detail-real. Now, I know what you're thinking, "What does this mean for me?". Well, I'm glad you asked, because folks, we're about to embark on a cosmic roller coaster ride, and trust me, it's gonna be a hoot! First off, let's talk distance. Mercury is currently chilling at a cool 179455888.865887731km away. Yes, that's an actual number, I didn't just fall asleep on my keyboard. It's far, but don't worry, Mercury's not ghosting us, it's just doing its prograde thing. Now, Mercury being in Virgo is like your brain on super-caffeinated coffee. Your neurons are firing on all cylinders, your speech is as sharp as a well-tuned lightsaber, and you're cutting through the BS faster than a politician deflects a scandal. Sugar coating? Pfft, who needs it? Not you, because you're all about getting straight to the point. You'll find yourself channeling your inner Marie Kondo, stripping out all unnecessary info and focusing only on what sparks joy (or, you know, is actually useful). This is a fantastic time for productivity - think Elon Musk on a Red Bull bender. You're not just in the fast lane, you're making serious tracks. But let's not forget, with great power comes great potential for foot-in-mouth disease. Beware of becoming hyper-critical. Remember, no one likes a party pooper. Reign in those impulses to nitpick every little thing. Instead, channel that energy into constructive criticism. Tactful communication is your secret weapon during this transit. So folks, as we navigate this Mercury in Virgo phase, let's embrace the clarity, celebrate the productivity, and remember to communicate with kindness. After all, we're all just stardust spinning through space. Now isn't that a cosmic perspective for you?

Venus is prograde at 24 Leo 31' 32", moving at 0.76 degrees per day, and is 79590553km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Venus In Leo: Cosmic Disco Inferno

Hold onto your pocket protectors, star gazers! Venus has just parked its celestial RV in the Leo campground and it's about to get LIT. Picture RoboCop swapping his uniform for a tie-dye shirt and bell-bottom jeans, that's you during this transit.

When Venus waltzes into Leo's domain, we're not just talking about feelings – we're organizing a love parade, complete with neon signs and giant confetti cannons. Think of it like Comic-Con but for your emotions. Instead of cosplay, though, expect playfully extravagant dates, flamboyant declarations of love, and possibly even drama worthy of a Star Wars prequel.

With Venus in Leo, we don't just want to be "liked". We want to be worshipped like the super nerds we are. This is the time to take risks, like confessing your love in Klingon or finally asking your crush for that Dungeons & Dragons date. Those who prefer to stay in their shyness shell, beware! You might end up like the last pick in a Quidditch team.

Love during this transit is more volatile than Schrodinger's cat. Leo is a sign that loves the limelight, and when we feel like our efforts are going unnoticed, we might pull a Hulk and smash. Remember, a relationship is like a group science project – we need to work together to make it successful. If we only focus on ourselves, we might end up alone, like Pluto (the planet, not the Disney character).

Now, let's talk about money. When Venus is in Leo, money becomes a tool for joy rather than just survival. Think of it as trading in your calculator for a magic wand. It's not just about indulging in that limited edition Star Trek memorabilia, but also about spreading the joy by treating your loved ones to those overpriced comic books they've been eyeing. Remember, Leo is as generous as a Hogwarts feast, so don't hold back on sharing the love.

Venus in Leo is like a cosmic disco party – it's vibrant, it's exciting, and it's an opportunity to re-energize your relationships and life. So let down your hair, dust off your dancing shoes, and let the stardust guide you to the fun side of the universe.

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 23 Lib 20' 52", moving at 0.67 degrees per day, and is 380380211km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Alright, folks, grab your telescopes and buckle up because Mars is chilling in Libra and things are about to get real... friendly. I know, I know, you were probably expecting some "War of the Worlds" level intensity because, hey, it's Mars - the planet named after the god of war, right? But stick with me here. This ain't no gladiatorial showdown. No, sir! In this cosmic episode, our fiery planet is hanging out in the sign of balance, harmony, and 1-on-1 partnerships. So instead of all-out space battles, expect a celestial tea party that even the Mad Hatter would approve of. While Mars is doing its thing in Libra, we're all going to start channeling our inner diplomats. That's right, even your neighbour who can't decide on whether to paint their fence blue or green will be more inclined to negotiate. And you? You'll find yourself being more thoughtful and friendly, less likely to start an argument over who ate the last slice of pizza. But beware, my astro-buddies! With all this peace and goodwill floating around, we can end up ignoring those pesky problems that need addressing. Think of it like ignoring that blinking check-engine light in your car. Sure, you can still drive, but ignoring it won't make it go away. Use this time of cosmic diplomacy to address those issues with grace, love, and a dash of scientific logic. Libra, the celestial judge Judy, prompts us to fight for justice and equality. So, even if you're usually as passive as a sloth on Valium, you'll find yourself standing up for what's right. And this is a good thing! Just remember, it's not always about being right, but about finding balance. Though, let's be honest here, Mars in Libra can make us feel as decisive as a quantum particle in a superposition state. It's like Mars is the one impatiently tapping its foot, waiting to make a move while Libra is busy pondering which chess piece to play. But don't fret! As long as you're acting with love, intention, and fairness, you're making the right moves in this cosmic dance. So, keep calm and Mars on, my friends! And remember, no matter how far away Mars might be (and trust me, it's a whopping 380374533.446016610km away), the effects of its transit through Libra are as near as your

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 14 Tau 19' 31", moving backwards at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 616476105km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Alright, folks, grab your telescopes and put on your space-nerd glasses because guess what? Jupiter has just pulled into Taurus' cosmic driveway and boy, is it making a splash in the celestial neighborhood! First things first, let's get the science-y stuff out of the way. Jupiter, our solar system's resident big guy - no, not your Uncle Bob, I mean the planet! - is currently 616525725.276981592km away. Yes, you heard it right! Quite the trek, isn't it? And the cherry on top? It's currently in retrograde! Imagine driving that distance only to realize you left the stove on at home. Now, when the planet of wisdom decides to bunk up with Taurus, the zodiac’s most stubborn couch potato, it's like inviting Einstein to a sit-in protest. The whole universe is screaming: "The answers are within you!" But, with the cacophony of daily life, we often mishear it as "The ants are in your pants!" This cosmic sleepover is a golden opportunity to make some real progress on your dreams. With Jupiter's wanderlust and Taurus' relentless determination, we're all being nudged to embrace our inner project manager. Prepare those to-do lists, folks, and don't forget to use colorful post-its! Now, here's the juicy bit. With Jupiter being the lucky charm and Taurus having a knack for cash, there's a potential for some serious cosmic ka-ching! So, dust off those old lottery tickets, or better yet, take a hard look at your financial situation and make some smart moves. But remember, Taurus is also that friend who can't resist an extra slice of cake. With Jupiter, the planet of expansion, joining the party, there might be a temptation to splurge. So, don't trade your telescope for a diamond-studded space-hammock just yet. In the grand scheme of things, this celestial event is a cosmic nudge to dig deep within us, set tangible goals, make smart financial decisions and keep our indulgences in check. So, buckle up, star gazers, and remember - space might be a vacuum, but it doesn't mean we can't fill it with laughter!

Saturn in Pisces: The Galactic Dance of Dreams and Dad Jokes

Alright, star gazers, strap in your seat belts and put on your dream catcher earrings because the cosmic waltz between Saturn - the strict dad of the universe, and Pisces - the ethereal daydreamer, is about to get real. With Saturn being 1338760170.506364107km away (yeah, I calculated it down to the decimal, because SCIENCE), its retrograde motion is the perfect time for a bit of introspection. Or as I like to say, "It's time to talk to your inner unicorn."

Think of Saturn in Pisces as your personal life coach, albeit one with a penchant for rules and regulations. Time to take those dreams you've tucked away, like opening a vegan bakery or writing a post-apocalyptic sci-fi trilogy, and give them some serious attention. Grab a notepad, a cup of herbal tea, and let the cosmic energies guide your brainstorming. Sure, it might feel like a celestial intervention, but sometimes we need a universal "kick in the asteroids" to get things moving.

Now, don't get me wrong. Saturn's not going to tiptoe around your dreams like they're a field of daisies. He's more likely to march right in, boots and all, asking tough questions and challenging your assumptions. He might even ruffle your feathers a bit, like that uncle at family reunions who asks why you're still single. But remember, Saturn's advice, much like that weird green juice your yoga instructor swears by, is actually good for you. So, let's embrace the cosmic wisdom with open arms (and minds).

Piscean energy often taps into the realm of dreams and sleep, so don't be surprised if you find yourself tossing and turning more than usual. Maybe it's time to invest in a lava lamp, try out that meditation app you downloaded ages ago, or take a leisurely walk in the park (while maintaining social distance, of course). Oh, and don't forget to keep a dream journal by your bed. Who knows, maybe your next big idea will come to you in a dream about alien civilizations or talking llamas.

Remember, folks, while Saturn in Pisces may seem like an interstellar rollercoaster, it's all part of the cosmic journey. So hang tight, keep dreaming,

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 36' 20", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2826351018km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Attention, star gazers. All hands on deck! Uranus has parked its celestial posterior in Taurus, and it's about to shake things up, folks! Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Astrologer, Taurus is as steady as a slow-cooked pot roast, it's as predictable as my grandpa's Sunday afternoon naps." True, my friends, but let's not forget who we're talking about here. Uranus, the cosmic troublemaker, the heavenly punk rocker with neon hair and a penchant for chaos. And it's decided to crash Taurus's tea party. Imagine Uranus like that eccentric uncle who shows up at Thanksgiving, announces he's vegan, and then proceeds to turn the turkey into a tofurkey. That's right, dear stargazers, the status quo is about to get a cosmic makeover. Our tried and true ways of doing things are about to be Uranus-ized. And what's Taurus's favorite toy? Money, of course! So, buckle up your budget because the financial roller coaster is ready for takeoff. We might see new types of currency pop up. Bitcoin might get a quirky cousin called Uranuscoin. Or maybe banks decide to trade in their 'no shirts, no shoes, no service' signs for 'we accept shell currency'. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like that friend who convinces you to cut up your credit cards and live off the grid. It's trying to help us break free from the chains of materialism. "Debt? What debt?" says Uranus, as it tosses our bills into a celestial bonfire. So, should we resist this change? Well, resisting Uranus is about as useful as using a chocolate teapot. This cosmic wave of change is here whether we like it or not. But here's the good news, the changes that Uranus brings can actually lead us to a more stable future. And who knows? We might end up thanking that eccentric uncle for turning our world upside down. So, here's to Uranus, the cosmic punk rocker, shaking things up in Taurus's world. Let's sit back and enjoy the ride!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 55' 18", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4327811617km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, aliens from all corners of the galaxy, lend me your ears! Or antennae, or whatever you use to hear. We're taking a cosmic cruise today, and our destination is Neptune in Pisces. Now, despite being a whopping 4.3 billion kilometers away (yes, I double-checked my calculations), this celestial spectacle has a big impact right here on Earth. And with our dear Neptune currently in retrograde, things are about to get interesting. But what does this mean for us humble earthlings, you ask? Well, it's like this. Imagine yourself at a concert, right? You're in the mosh pit, there's music blasting, people jumping around, someone's spilled beer on your shirt - chaos! Suddenly, the lights dim, a spotlight hits the stage, and out walks your favorite artist, strumming the opening chords of your favorite song. All the noise fades away, everything else becomes unimportant. That, my friends, is the magic of Neptune in Pisces. It makes us see past the trivial, past the annoying, and focus on what really matters. This cosmic combo wants you to take stock of your gifts - and no, not the ones still wrapped up from last Christmas. I'm talking about your inner talents, your dreams, your passions – the things that make you, YOU. It's an invitation to explore your emotional intelligence and discover your unique contribution to the world. It’s like getting an exclusive VIP pass to the concert of self-discovery. So, folks, now's the best time to enroll in that Reiki course you've been eyeing, or set up a zen corner at home, complete with crystals, incense, and a yoga mat. Neptune in Pisces is giving us the green light to connect with our spiritual side and share our newfound wisdom with the world. Remember, my cosmic comrades, we're all on this spaceship Earth together. So, let's tap into the unifying power of Neptune in Pisces and make it a journey worth remembering! And hey, if you ever feel lost, just remember this - even at 4.3 billion kilometers away, Neptune's got your back. Peace out, stargazers!

Pluto In Capricorn: A Dalek's Guide to Cosmic Conquest

Attention, fellow beings of the cosmos! The distant and often misunderstood dwarf planet, Pluto (not to be confused with Goofy's dog), is in Capricorn. Oh yes, you heard that right! And it's not just casually hanging around, it's retrograde! That's like the universe's version of moonwalking. It's 5,164,296,361.732625961km away, but who's counting? Except for astrophysicists, of course. And maybe a few Daleks.

Now, what does this mean for us? Well, Pluto and Capricorn are both big fans of power and success. They're like the cosmic equivalent of a power-couple, always striving for world...I mean, universal domination. During this transit, we might find ourselves a tad less patient with others' viewpoints. It's not that we're becoming Daleks, obsessed with extermination, but we're definitely more result-oriented. So, remember, while it's great to be ambitious, don't turn into a despotic Dalek. Tolerance is still golden!

But here's where it gets interesting. Pluto, our frosty friend, wants us to ditch our negative patterns. Imagine it as your personal cosmic declutterer, Marie Kondo-ing your life! But hold on to your hats, because this involves some deconstruction. Picture it as a sort of cosmic recycling. You know, out with the old, in with the new. Or, in Dalek terms, "EX-TER-MIN-ATE"...the things that no longer serve you!

So brace yourself for a bit of cosmic chaos. And remember, if you hear a metallic voice behind you saying, 'You will be upgraded', it's probably just Pluto in Capricorn trying to give you a little push. But if it's saying, 'Exterminate!', well, you might want to start running!

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

Mercury Opposite Neptune

Confusion is likely today in your relationships with other people. Take care and read all the fine print. Stay away from taking permanent legal actions as your thinking is colored by who knows what. You may be suckered into something you don't want to do or don't believe in, so watch your step. Misunderstandings in communicating with others is possible. Remember, they may not be hearing what you are trying to say. Nervous anxiety and tension may make you feel listless today. Don't let your imagination carry you away.You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering. Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on your nature. Some of you are great storytellers.Sample interpretation from the Merlin report — Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in “your own little world” a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to “read” people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Donald Trump, Jim Bakker, Mae West, Spencer Tracy, Tom Snyder, Rich Little, Jack London, Bob Dylan; Oppositions – Bono (U2), Marlene Dietrich, Richard Chamberlain, Florence Henderson, Charles De Gaulle, Christian Dior.

Your powers of perception are very sharp. You can go right to the heart of the matter with the skill of a competent surgeon. You might want to play detective today and ferret out some of nature's secrets. You long for a deeper understanding of things and have the skill today to do so. Share your discoveries with others. Conversations with others may profoundly affect your thinking.Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report — You go to the origin of a problem once you start working on it. You communicate with a quick, soft-spoken force that others pick up on magnetically. You have both broad range and depth of interest. You are very versatile and make a great problem solver. Your mind is naturally interested in security issues which can run the gambit from ordinary cops and robber stuff, to high tech computer theft, national security, and the international monetary fund. To fully use your skills you should spend time analyzing your motives. Do a thorough investigation as to your own beliefs about the meaning of life. Once you have these issues resolved you will not feel as secretive and your mental energy will be freer.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 Pluto have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Bruce Springsteen, Tatum O’Neal, Peter Lynch, Amelia Earhart, Troy Aikman; Trines – Drew Barrymore, Brad Pitt, Larry Bird, Bridget Fonda, Crispin Glover, Jean Harlow, Larry King, Moliere, Ralph Nader, Sylvia Plath.

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.

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.
