3 October, 2023


Solar activity reached moderate levels when new Region 3455 (N25E58 Cro/Beta) produced an M1.9/1N flare at 02/1246 UTC with a corresponding eruption to the south. Region 3450 (S18E04 Eac/Beta-Gamma) remains the most magnetically complex and produced some low-level C-flares. More intermediate spots developed in this region. Region 3452 (N11E33 Dai/Beta) was the largest at 240 mil, but showed some consolidation in the leader spots. A very faint CME was observed in LASCO C3 imagery around 02/1418 UTC possibly associated with dimming in GOES-16 SUVI imagery between 02/12-13 UTC. Ill let the night shift make the call. A preliminary analysis suggested it would be moving at 260 km/s.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.

The solar wind was generally slow (350-400 km/s). Bz was southward (approx. 0 to -5 nT) for much of the period. Density was low, which prompted a change from DSCOVR to ACE around 02/0217 UTC. The subsequent loss of ACE tracking around 1615 UTC forced a return to DSCOVR by 1646 UTC. The speed reported by DSCOVR was generally reasonable at the time of writing.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 20% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Gemini

Alright, my star-loving stormtroopers, buckle up! Your astrological commander is here with another interstellar bulletin. Now, don't go all 'C3PO-in-a-trash-compactor' on me, but the Moon has parked its celestial self in Gemini. Yes, you heard it right! That's not a Death Star, that's our beloved Moon! If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be a twin with yourself, well, this is your moment. The Moon is currently 392,201.824290853 km away (give or take a lightyear or two), nestled snuggly in Gemini's constellation. That's closer than Tatooine is to the nearest cantina, folks! Gemini's dual forces are going to have you feeling like you're stuck in a hyperspace jump. One minute you're Luke Skywalker, grappling with complex emotions and the next, you're chillin' like Han Solo, nonchalantly dodging asteroid fields. You might even find yourself suddenly fluent in over six million forms of communication... or, you know, just really good at trivia night. But remember, much like a Jedi Knight doesn't rush his padawan training, don't rush yourself through these alternating phases. Embrace the experience! This is the cosmic equivalent of switching between Luke and Leia on a Super Star Wars game console. But don't get too comfortable in your Jedi robes, folks. This moon phase is about as stable as a landspeeder with a flat tire. In the next 24 hours, the Moon will be hopping faster than an Ewok on Endor, moving into the realm of Cancer. So, whether you're feeling more like a scruffy-looking nerf herder or a wise old Jedi Master, remember to go with the flow of the Force. Or in this case, the space-time continuum. May the stars be with you, always!

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 26 Vir 58' 03", moving at 1.72 degrees per day, and is 182785643km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Mercury: The Virgo Edition

Well, star gazers, we're in for a treat. The cosmic speedster, Mercury, has parked its rear end in Virgo's garage and it’s not coming out anytime soon. Don't freak out, though! This isn’t some interstellar carjacking incident — it's more like Mercury's gone on a cerebral road trip and decided to chillax in the ever-analytical Virgo.

Mercury in Virgo is like Sheldon Cooper with a dash of Doctor Strange - all about the intellectual rigor, precision, and no room for fluff. Forget about beating around the cosmic bush; under this transit we're slicing through space junk like a lightsaber through butter. So, best make your words count, folks! You've got a direct line to the universe, don't waste it asking for the winning lottery numbers.

Now, Virgo is like that one friend who's great at solving Rubik's cubes while simultaneously discussing quantum physics. And with Mercury hanging out there, our mental faculties are in overdrive. We'll be digesting data faster than a black hole can swallow a star. It's productivity on steroids!

However, remember, every silver lining comes with a touch of cosmic cloud. With Mercury in Virgo, we might turn into hyper-critical keyboard warriors or verbally harsh Spocks. We could find faults in everything, from the curvature of the Earth to the color of your aura. Yes, discernment is a good thing, but let's not go around insulting others' star signs or getting frustrated by our own cosmic quirks. Tact is key, people, so let's keep the space-time continuum friendly.

So, buckle up, space cadets! It's time to ride the cosmic waves of Mercury in Virgo. Embrace the productivity, seek clarity, and remember — keep those interstellar insults to yourself!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 25 Leo 17' 26", moving at 0.77 degrees per day, and is 80684638km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Well, buckle up, star gazers, because Venus has just swanned into Leo like a celestial diva heading for her spotlight. Now, if you're thinking "Venus in Leo, what's the big deal?" Hold onto your horoscopes because things are about to get dramatic! When Venus, the planet of love and all things shiny, struts into Leo, the zodiac's resident drama king, it's like someone cranked up the volume on a romantic comedy. Expect declarations of love so grandiose, they'd make Romeo blush. And dates? Oh, they'll be as playful as a game of hide-and-seek in a candy floss factory. But be warned, folks, the need for adoration during this transit is as high as the space station. So, if you're one of those people who play it safe in love, you might find yourself playing solitaire instead. And oh dear, do we have drama! If Leo feels like it's not getting enough attention, it might just throw a cosmic tantrum that would make a supernova look like a flickering candle. Remember, though, there's no "i" in "we", but there sure is a "me". So, focus less on your own needs and more on others' - unless you fancy a date with your own ego. Now, let’s talk about money. With Venus in Leo, it's less of a safety net and more of a magic carpet ride. It's all about the glitz, glamour and treating yourself (and those you adore) to something special. But don't just splurge on yourself, Leo’s generosity is as expansive as the universe, so spread some of that love around. In short, Venus in Leo is like a galactic fiesta, full of color, flamboyance, and a dash of drama. It's a time that can rekindle your relationships, add a bit of spice to your life and remind you that without a little fun and excitement, life is just a bunch of carbon atoms floating in a vacuum. So, put on your cosmic party hats, because we're going to light up this universe like a Vegas strip!

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 24 Lib 00' 56", moving at 0.67 degrees per day, and is 380507817km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Oh, by the cosmic spectral dust! Mars, that fiery, tempestuous planet of action and drive has sashayed into Libra, the ever-so-balanced, somewhat indecisive, and consummately diplomatic sign. This planetary salsa is going to have some interesting effects, my friend. Now, imagine if you will, Mars, that headstrong jock of the solar system, on a date with Libra, the cool, collected, and sophisticated intellectual. Mars is raring to go, ready to charge ahead, but Libra, ever the diplomat, insists on weighing everything up before making a move. It's like trying to decide whether to binge-watch the latest season of 'Stranger Things' or finish your quantum physics homework. The struggle is real, people! During this transit, we’re sporting rose-colored glasses, enamored by the beauty of our relationships. We're less likely to be the instigators of intergalactic warfare and more inclined to play the peacekeepers. So, expect fewer lightsaber duels and more tea ceremonies. But beware, my star-crossed friends! The desire for harmony could turn you into a pacifist ninja, artfully dodging any conflict or disagreement. But remember, a little bit of healthy argument can be as invigorating as a shot of espresso in your morning cup of cosmic joe. And let's not forget that Libra, the sign of justice, is guiding Mars' journey. So, stand up for what's right, strive for balance, and harness the power of diplomacy. Just make sure you don't fall into the black hole of indecision (trust me, it’s worse than Netflix's endless scroll). So, while Mars is doing the cha-cha with Libra, remember it's not about avoiding the asteroid field, it's about navigating through it with grace, love, and a pinch of wit. So, keep your telescopes focused, your star charts handy and your sense of humor intact. The cosmos is always full of surprises.

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 14 Tau 14' 09", moving backwards at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 615195806km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter: The Big Cheese in Taurus Territory

Alright, space cadets, listen up! Jupiter's doing a fancy tango with Taurus, and that's no small potatoes. You see, Jupiter is the grand poobah of wisdom, the kind that makes you ponder life's mysteries while munching on a cosmic bagel. Meanwhile, Taurus is so laid-back it's practically horizontal. And when these two decide to throw a planetary party, it's like finding out your wise old uncle decided to move in with your stubborn yet adorable bulldog.

Now, Jupiter in Taurus is like having your own personal Yoda on hand, whispering sweet nothings about pursuing your dreams and actually ticking off your to-do list. It's the universe's way of saying, "Get off the couch, buddy! Time to get stuff done!" And with Jupiter's ambition and Taurus' legendary tenacity, you've got the perfect recipe for success, even if it means moving at the speed of a sloth on Benadryl.

But here's the rub: when Jupiter, the planet of good vibes and free donuts, hangs out in Taurus' money-loving mansion, we all start dreaming of dollar signs. Think Scrooge McDuck diving into his pool of gold coins. Yeah, it's that enticing. So, this might be the perfect time to turn over those couch cushions, look under the rug, and find ways to increase your cosmic cash flow.

However, let's not forget that Taurus has a bit of a hedonistic streak. It's the zodiac's version of a gourmet who's never met a truffle they didn't like. And Jupiter? Well, it's not exactly known for its restraint. So, while you're enjoying this planetary fiesta, remember to keep an eye on your indulgences. You wouldn't want to end up like the cat that got into the cream, only to discover it was soy milk.

So, in conclusion, folks: strap on your space boots, dust off your dream journals, and get ready to ride the cosmic bull. Jupiter in Taurus is here, and it's a wild, weird, and wonderful journey!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 01 Pis 21' 30", moving backwards at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 1340331896km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Alright folks, listen up! Our friend Saturn, that big ol' ringed beauty, has made its way into Pisces. Now, usually I wouldn't make a fuss but this is like having your strict calculus teacher come crash your dreamy art class. But don't freak out, because there's method to the madness - and it's about to get scientific. Saturn is your cosmic life coach, and when he's in Pisces, he's not just coaching, he's going full-on Gordon Ramsay on your dreams. He's gonna question them, poke them, maybe even shout a bit. But it's all because he wants you to whip them into Michelin-star shape! Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Bo, I just want to daydream in peace!" Trust me, I get it. But Saturn, bless his cosmic cotton socks, just won't leave it be. He's like the dad who insists on tidying your room when you've got it just the way you like it - a colossal mess. But hear me out, because deep down, you know he's got a point. So think of Saturn's visit to Pisces as a celestial boot camp for your dreams. It's time to stop fantasizing about writing the next 'Game of Thrones' saga or opening that quirky café that only serves coffee to left-handed people. Grab a notepad, write a business plan, do a budget, and for goodness sake, look into loan options! But remember, Pisces is all about sleep and dreams, and with all this Saturn-induced excitement, you might start feeling a bit restless. So, take a leaf out of a sloth's book. Meditate, go for a walk in the woods, breathe deeply, and nap like you're auditioning for the role of Sleeping Beauty (but keep a dream journal handy!). And maybe hit the hay a bit early, give your brain a chance to wind down. In the end, Saturn in Pisces is like a cosmic spring clean. It might feel a bit chaotic, you might even lose a sock or two, but when it's over, you'll find yourself in a much clearer, more purposeful space. So, tune in, breathe and let the magic happen.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 34' 44", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2824616467km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Well, hello there space cadets! So, Uranus is currently hanging out in Taurus, causing a bit of a cosmic kerfuffle. It's like inviting a disco-loving alien to a Victorian tea party. Might be a fun mess, but surely a mess. Now, Taurus, our celestial bovine, enjoys the tried and true. It's like your grandma who still uses a rotary phone because "it works just fine." But here comes Uranus, the cosmic equivalent of a software update notification on your grandma's rotary phone. Unexpected, confusing, and potentially leading to a lot of shouting at inanimate objects. In the world of moolah, where Taurus is the Wall Street tycoon, we might see some radical changes. Think bitcoin but with more sci-fi vibes, or banks transforming into virtual reality spaces where you can physically wrestle your debt (now wouldn't that be therapeutic?). The housing and stock markets could be in for a wild ride too, like playing Jenga during an earthquake. On a personal level, this cosmic combo is like a quirky financial advisor encouraging us to redefine our relationship with money and materialism. Maybe you'll start considering your couch as a potential investment strategy or using your non-dominant hand to swipe that credit card. Hey, Uranus is all about the surprise twists! This might sound like a lot, like trying to learn quantum physics from a toddler, but remember, these changes could lead us to a much better place. Maybe a place where we're not constantly trying to keep up with the Joneses, but instead, we're just happy with our own quirky, Uranus-inspired lives. So buckle up, spacelings! We're in for a ride that's weirder than watching a cat video in reverse. But hey, who knows? At the end of this cosmic roller coaster, we might just find a new kind of stability – one that’s as comforting as hot cocoa on a rainy day, but with a dash of interstellar pizzazz.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 53' 42", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4328440745km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Hello, celestial voyagers! Just popped in from my last astral journey to give you a heads-up. Neptune, our solar system's resident dream-weaver, has decided to take a long vacay in Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Oh great, another cosmic event to blame for my emotional turbulence." But stick with me, this could be fun! Neptune in Pisces is like a cosmic cocktail that gives us the equivalent of spiritual night-vision goggles. Suddenly, the fog of life clears and we are seeing the world in high-definition 3D - with added surround sound for good measure. You'll start to notice that squabbling over whether to get the extra cheese on your pizza or arguing about which Star Trek series is the best (it's Voyager, obviously) seems a bit... trivial. Instead, you'll find yourself drawn to the cosmic conundrum of unity. You know, how we can all come together as one big happy family in this vast Universe. It's like a giant, psychedelic 'Kumbaya' moment, but without the campfire and marshmallows. This planetary movement is basically your VIP pass to explore the depths of your own emotional intelligence. It's time to harness those unique gifts you've been hiding and use them to contribute towards our collective progress. Think of it as your chance to play superhero, but with less spandex and more spirituality. Neptune in Pisces is sending out engraved invitations for you to delve into that spiritual path you've been flirting with. Go ahead, sign up for that Tai Chi class, build that sacred zen garden in your backyard, or start conversing with your houseplants. No judgment here! Just remember, this isn't just about personal growth. It's also about sharing your newfound wisdom with the world. Because let's face it, if you've figured out how to achieve inner peace while living on a planet where people argue about pineapple on pizza, then you've got some serious insight to offer. In short, buckle up, cosmic adventurers! Neptune's retrograde journey through Pisces is going to take us all on a wild, introspective ride. But don't worry, we've got science, spirituality and, of course, the power of nerdom on our side. So grab your telescopes, dust off your tarot decks, and prepare to reach for the stars!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 27 Cap 54' 22", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5166887887km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Greetings, star children! It's your friendly neighborhood cosmic nerd here to drop some interstellar knowledge bombs on you. Now, get ready to focus those telescopes because we're headed way out to the tiniest, coldest, most misunderstood ex-planet in our solar system - Pluto. Yes, the little guy who got demoted from planet status and has been living the aloof life ever since. Right now, Pluto is chilling in Capricorn, which means it's roughly 5.1 billion kilometers away, possibly sipping on an icy mocha (because let's face it, it's pretty cold out there). Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Wait...Pluto is in retrograde? Isn't that a bad thing?' Well, dear one, like that time you accidentally put on two different socks, it's not necessarily bad, just...different. You see, when Pluto is in Capricorn, it's like the universe is that overly ambitious project manager who wants the job done yesterday. Both Pluto and Capricorn are the type-A personalities of the cosmos, super focused on success, power, and getting things done. This could make us slightly intolerant of ideas that don't align with our own. So, remember, it's not just about getting to the top, it's about how many friends you have left when you get there. During this transit, Pluto is like that ruthless personal trainer yelling, "Drop those negative patterns! They're weighing you down!" But hey, destruction can be constructive too. Like when you destroy a tub of ice cream, only to create a masterpiece of culinary delight (or a stomach ache, but let's stay positive). So, space cadets, as we navigate this cosmic course, let's remember to be deliberate in what we destroy as we create. Embrace the chaos, let go of what no longer serves you, and don't forget to laugh along the way. After all, even in space, humor is a universal language. Over and out!

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.

Mercury

Mercury Trine Pluto

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.

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 Uranus

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. There is a strong attraction to all that is different, and all that “shouldn’t” be done in love and in sex. Taste in clothing and art is unusual, original, and unique.There is a tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others, and there is marked emotional impulsiveness with these aspects. Their most successful relationships are unconventional ones. Whether they do so publicly or privately, they delight in defying convention. They tend to move on and outgrow friendships. Some possess considerable romantic charm and humor, and they can pretty much charm the birds out of the trees when they choose to do so! Their love feelings are easily aroused and their romantic relationships begin with suddenness. There is a marked inner craving for emotional excitement and a need to feel spontaneous and free.Alternate interpretations:Venus square Uranus or Venus opposition Uranus: *Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but they often end abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently – especially in your younger years. 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. When you “fall,” that is a good time to marshal all your respect for yourself and your partner, and to take things one day at a time until you have forged a deep connection.

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.
