Moon Is In Leo

Greetings, interstellar wanderers! The Moon, that big ol' hunk of cheese in the sky, has sashayed its way into the limelight of Leo, like a diva catwalk model. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Great, what does that mean for me, oh wise and funny astrologer?" Well, my dear, sit back, grab your favorite cosmic-themed snack, because we're about to dive into this astrological remix. First off, let's talk numbers. The Moon, our celestial sidekick, is currently playing it cool at a whopping 404,898.556541700 km away. It's like it's on a universal gap year, exploring itself in the constellation of Leo. But remember, it's not about the distance; it's about the journey... or something deep like that. With the Moon in Leo, we're all feeling a little more... shall we say, 'fabulous'? Think of it as your inner lion roaring in the form of sequins and spontaneous karaoke sessions. Don't fight it, embrace it. Channel your inner Freddie Mercury and ask yourself, "What would Freddie do?" This lunar positioning isn't just about being the life of the party though. Oh no, Leo is also about pride and courage. So, if you've been shying away from showing off your collection of Star Trek memorabilia or your detailed knowledge of quantum physics, now is the time to shine! With the Moon in Leo, it's the perfect time to be unapologetically you. And remember, fellow stargazers, in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just tiny specks on a slightly larger speck, floating in an infinite cosmos. So why not have some fun with it? Wear that crazy outfit, sing that song, do the robot dance in public. Who cares? The Moon certainly doesn't. It's too busy being 404,898.556541700 km fabulous in Leo. So, get out there and show the world your sparkle, because, as they say, "In space, no one can hear you... not be fabulous."

Mercury

Mercury is in Libra

Mercury is prograde at 07 Lib 31' 57", moving at 1.77 degrees per day, and is 198179462km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Libra

Well, well, well, Mercury is hanging out in Libra. Isn't that like inviting the class nerd to the cool kids' party? But hey, don't underestimate the nerds! I mean, where would we be without Bill Gates, right? Now, you might be wondering, "What's this got to do with me?" Well, pull up a chair, and let's get astro-nerdy. First off, Mercury in Libra is like a cosmic conference call. It opens up communication between all your favorite characters - bosses, family, friends, lovers, ex-lovers, the barista who can never get your name right. If there's been any bad blood, now's the time to bury the hatchet. And I don't mean in your boss's back. The cherry on top of this celestial sundae? Diplomacy. Libra's the justice of the zodiac, weighing everything in her balanced scales (and no, she didn't buy them from IKEA). So while Mercury's in town, you might find yourself playing peacemaker, or perhaps even marriage counselor to your bickering houseplants. But it's not all peace, love, and understanding. There's a catch. You see, Mercury in Libra can make you too nice. Yes, there is such a thing! You might end up sugar-coating everything, turning into the human equivalent of a glazed donut. And remember, nobody likes a sycophant, not even your cat. So, here's the deal, folks. Embrace the power of open conversation, even if it means disagreeing. After all, agreeing to disagree can sometimes be the strongest connection you have. Now, go out there and start communicating... or you know, just keep arguing about whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better. Either way, remember to have fun with it. Peace out, stargazers!

Venus

Venus is in Virgo

Venus is prograde at 00 Vir 11' 00", moving at 0.86 degrees per day, and is 87320560km away and receding.

Venus Is In Virgo

Venus in Virgo: A Cosmic Comedy of Sorts

Okay, folks! Get ready for some intergalactic gossip because Venus just swiped right on Virgo! Now, don't get all flustered. Venus in Virgo isn't about love in the mushy, gushy, make-your-friends-want-to-puke kind of way. It's more like a cosmic episode of 'The Bachelorette', where you're the star and your love interests are your life choices. Who will get the final rose? Will it be that art class you've been dying to take or the yoga sessions you've been skipping? Only time will tell!

Picture this: Venus, the goddess of love, all dolled up in sensible shoes and a lab coat, wielding a checklist instead of a bow and arrow. That's what we're dealing with when Venus is in Virgo. She's going full-on Marie Kondo, asking you to take a look at your relationships and decide if they spark joy or just give you heartburn.

But watch out, lovebirds! With Venus in meticulous Virgo, you might find yourself nitpicking your partner's every move. "Honey, why do you breathe so loudly?" or "Dear, could you chew your food in prime numbers?" Remember, folks, constructive dialogue beats pointing out every piece of spinach stuck in their teeth.

And if you're single, ready to mingle, and looking for love under this transit, let me tell you, it's less 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and more 'The Notebook'. Of course, there's passion. But it's earthy, grounded, and comes with a side order of discernment. It's less about wild flings and more about slow dances and long walks on the beach.

So, here's the takeaway: Venus in Virgo is like a cosmic quality control. It's not about perfection, but about appreciating the finer things in life, whether that's a good meal, a beautiful sunset, or a well-organized sock drawer. Now, go forth and let Venus in Virgo guide your star-crossed decisions!

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 28 Lib 02' 25", moving at 0.67 degrees per day, and is 381102512km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Alright, you interstellar enthusiasts! Buckle up, because Mars--that hunk of red rock we all know and love--is doing the cosmic tango with none other than Libra. Now, for those of you who've forgotten your Astrology 101, Libra is all about balance, harmony, and making sure everyone is playing nice in the sandbox. Now, when Mars meanders into Libra's territory, it's like a cosmic peace rally. Mars, the celestial embodiment of motivation and drive, gets handed a kale smoothie and a tie-dye shirt. Suddenly, it's less about picking a fight and more about, "Hey man, can't we all just get along?" Instead of flexing its usual "me-first" muscle, Mars is sipping chamomile tea and humming Kumbaya, courtesy of Libra's peacemaking vibes. It's like the universe's version of anger management and we're all invited. But, don't go thinking this interstellar hootenanny is all sunshine and rainbows. With all this cosmic chillaxing, it's easy to sweep real problems under the galaxy rug. We might try to pretend everything's groovy, but let's face it, sometimes it's not. The trick here, my celestial seekers, is not to bottle up the bad vibes--instead, use this time to tackle those thorny issues with a dose of Libra's diplomacy and grace. It's like a cosmic therapy session, where we can hash things out without resorting to wrestling moves. Libra, being the zodiac's resident judge Judy, also means that Mars in Libra is the ideal time to stand up for what's fair and square. Just remember, even in the vastness of space, equality matters. But, beware the dark side of this cosmic duo. Mars likes to get things done, pronto. Libra, on the other hand, is like that indecisive friend who takes forever to choose a movie on Netflix. It's a recipe for cosmic procrastination. The secret? Act with love, intention, and fairness. If you do that, you're making the right moves under Mars in Libra. And remember, in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just stardust trying to find our orbit.

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 13 Tau 38' 45", moving backwards at 0.11 degrees per day, and is 608289966km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Comedy Tour

Alright, Earthlings, here's the scoop. Jupiter, the giant gas ball of wisdom and overindulgence, has decided to bunk with Taurus (the stubborn bull with a taste for the finer things) for a while. It's like a cosmic odd couple sitcom, except instead of laugh tracks, we get life lessons. Groovy, huh?

Picture it: Jupiter, lord of luck and good fortune, sharing a celestial couch with Taurus, the zodiac's prime symbol of wealth and material comfort. That's like having Bill Gates and Warren Buffet as roommates - with a better view. Expect some serious prosperity memes to go viral during this transit, but remember folks, not everything that glitters is space gold.

This cosmic roommate situation is all about growth and goal-setting. Jupiter's got that go-big-or-go-home attitude while Taurus brings all the patience and determination of a sloth on a caffeine high. Time to dust off those dreams you've been keeping in the back of your mental closet and give them a good airing out. Just remember: Rome wasn't built in a day, but I bet they had one heck of a to-do list.

With Jupiter parked in Taurus, we're also looking at a potential overindulgence overload. That's right, my star-gazing friends, your "wants" might start masquerading as "needs". So, before you decide you absolutely need that gold-plated espresso machine or a pet peacock, take a deep breath, meditate on the difference between desire and necessity, and maybe just buy a nice houseplant instead.

In short, let Jupiter in Taurus be your cosmic wake-up call to appreciate the wisdom within, make big moves towards your dreams, and maybe, just maybe, practice a little self-restraint in the spending department. And remember, folks, in the grand cosmic comedy, we're all just trying to find our punchline.

Saturn is retrograde at 01 Pis 04' 48", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 1350170730km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

When Saturn Plays Hippie in Pisces

Gather around, stargazers! It's time to dive into the cosmic soup again as we navigate the celestial tango of Saturn hanging out in Pisces. Right now, Saturn is so far away, it makes social distancing look like a close encounter of the third kind. We're talking a whopping 1,350,110,360.048154354km away (give or take a few thousand kilometers). And the cherry on this cosmic sundae? Saturn is currently doing the moonwalk - that's right, it's retrograde!

Now don't freak out, remember, Saturn in Pisces is like The Terminator at a yoga class: a bit awkward but surprisingly flexible. It's all about inner reflection, so grab your favorite tie-dye meditation pillow and get cozy. This is the perfect time to connect with your dreams, like writing the next best-selling sci-fi novel or opening that vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, flavor-free... okay, maybe not flavor-free... coffee shop.

But let's face it, Saturn in Pisces isn't all peace signs and daisy chains. Imagine Saturn as your nosy Aunt Edna, always poking her nose in your business and questioning your life choices. She may be annoying, but her advice usually has some nuggets of wisdom. So, instead of slamming the door in her face, maybe let her in for a cup of tea. Who knows, she might help you finally understand your tax return.

Be warned though, with Saturn in Pisces, you might feel like a caffeinated owl at a rave party. Sleep could become elusive and you may find yourself wide awake at 3 am wondering why we never see baby pigeons. So, dust off that yoga mat, do some star jumps, or count invisible sheep - whatever helps you calm that racing mind. And remember, if all else fails, there's always warm milk and cookies!

So, strap in, folks! This is going to be one heck of a cosmic ride. Keep those dream journals handy, and don't forget to pause, breathe, and listen to the wisdom of the stars. Saturn may be a stern teacher, but hey, even The Terminator learned how to love.

Uranus in Taurus: A Cosmic Cha-Cha of Change

Alright, my celestial comrades, let's talk about the cosmic elephant in the room - Uranus is in Taurus. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Isn't Uranus that one planet that spins on its side like a rebellious teenager?" Yes, you're not wrong, but right now, it's doing a cha-cha with Taurus, and this dance is all about change, baby!

With Taurus being as stubborn as a mule wearing concrete shoes, they really aren't fans of change. In fact, if change was a dish at a potluck, Taurus would probably bring their own sandwich. But guess what, Taurus? Uranus didn’t RSVP to this cosmic party to stick to the status quo. It's here to shake things up!

Now, Taurus knows a thing or two about money. They're the Warren Buffets of the zodiac, minus the billions. With Uranus in their house though, we may be looking at some revolutionary new ways of handling our cash. Can you imagine? Maybe banks will start giving out free toasters again, or cryptocurrencies will become as commonplace as cat videos on the internet! The financial world is about to do a somersault, folks, so buckle up.

And here's where it gets personal. Uranus in Taurus is like a hippie at a corporate job - it's all about breaking free from the chains of materialism. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, that expensive latte addiction you refuse to acknowledge – these are all things Uranus wants us to rethink. Are you really living your best life if you're drowning in stuff?

So, even if you're a Taurus digging your heels into the ground, change is coming. And who knows? You might even find that these disruptions lead you to a more stable place. So, let's embrace the cosmic cha-cha of change, my starry-eyed friends, because Uranus is here to take us on a wild ride!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 44' 18", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4333127699km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, buckle up your space boots, celestial voyagers, because Neptune has parked itself in Pisces, and if you think that's just another blip on the cosmic radar, you're in for a supernova-sized surprise! Neptune, the blue behemoth of our solar system, is currently doing its best impersonation of a 70s disco dancer by going retrograde. Now, I don't mean it's donning flares and breaking out the platform shoes - in astrological terms, going retrograde means appearing to move backward in its orbit from our earthly perspective. And this particular planetary pirouette is happening in the star sign Pisces. Now, imagine Neptune as the Albert Einstein of planets, with its focus on unifying all things, and Pisces as the John Lennon of star signs, with its "imagine all the people" vibe. When these two come together, it's like a cosmic cocktail of unity and dreams. Suddenly, our squabbles over who ate the last slice of pizza seem about as significant as a speck of stardust in the grand scheme of the cosmos. This planetary party is your VIP pass to dig deep into your emotional treasure chest and unearth your unique gifts. Ever dreamt of becoming an interpretive dancer? Go for it! Want to write a sonnet about your cat? Now's the time! Perhaps you've been itching to explore a new spiritual path, or maybe you've been wanting to convert your broom closet into a sacred meditation space. Well, with Neptune's neon sign blazing in Pisces, there's no better time to set up your inner sanctum and start channeling your inner Zen master. Remember, my fellow stargazers, the universe isn't just out there - it's inside you too! So let Neptune's dance in Pisces inspire you to share your unique gifts with the world. After all, we're all made of stardust, and who knows? Your contribution might just be the spark that lights up someone else's cosmos. So get out there, embrace your inner geek, let your freak flag fly, and make the most of this cosmic congruence. As they say in the interstellar circles, "Neptune in Pisces, baby! It's not just a phase, it's a cosmic rave!"

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 27 Cap 53' 33", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5182366258km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Pluto Takes a Capricorn Detour

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up your star-studded seatbelts because it seems like our brooding buddy Pluto, that celestial bad boy of the solar system, has decided to set up camp in the practical, no-nonsense neighborhood of Capricorn. Now, don't panic! I know we're all still adjusting to Pluto's "dwarf planet" status (no offense to the vertically challenged), but trust me, it's still got enough cosmic clout to shake things up. You see, Pluto and Capricorn are like that intense power couple who always seem to be achieving something monumental while the rest of us are just trying to decide which Netflix series to binge-watch next. They're all about success, ambition, and getting stuff done. Not exactly a pair you'd invite to your chill, incense-infused meditation session, right? But here's the kicker - these two aren't big on playing well with others. They've got a bit of tunnel vision going on, and other people's viewpoints might as well be in another galaxy. So, during this transit, remember to keep your mind open wider than the event horizon of a black hole. Now, Pluto is also notorious for its 'out with the old, in with the new' approach. It's like that friend who insists on cleaning out your closet, tossing out your favorite, albeit tattered, band tees because they "no longer serve you." It might feel like a celestial smackdown, but trust me, Pluto means well. It's all about destroying the unnecessary to make room for the new. So, folks, as we navigate this latest cosmic curveball, let's remember to be intentional in our destruction and creation. And maybe, just maybe, we can convince Pluto and Capricorn to take a break from their power trip and join us for a little starlit meditation. After all, even celestial bodies could use a bit of zen now and then!

The Sun

Sun Sextile Moon

There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony between you and women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.

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 Opposite Saturn

You may feel very unloved. You may see people as cold and calculating. People's lack of sympathy may depress you to the bone today. Social, financial, and romantic problems and disappointments characterize this transit. Selfishness and a lack of consideration are probably the reasons. You reap what you sow and now is a good time to analyze yourself and your relationships. There may be difficulties and delays with respect to women in general.Giving and receiving love are not flowing and natural for people born with Venus in hard aspect to Saturn. Blockages are experienced, and love relationships may be a source of frustration as a result, until the natives learn to love themselves, and to feel worthy of love from others. Duty is often associated with love, and some might find themselves stuck in a loveless marriage, for example. Especially in youth, these people might feel awkward in some social situations, unsure of how to express affections, and fearful of rejection. Problematic Saturn positions often get better with age, experience, and practice, however! In its more negative expression, some people with this position learn to scheme in order to get what they want from a partner, or they might treat partnerships as if they were businesses.These aspects can make natives especially sensitive to “cues” that suggest they are not loved or rejected in some way. People with Venus-Saturn in hard aspect can often “expect” rejection in issues of love and care, whether they are conscious of this tendency or not. This can often lead to negative situations in love — and bad timing or the feeling of having “bad luck” in relationships.People with Venus in hard aspect to Saturn might either downplay their physical appearance or pay excessive attention to it. Either way, self-consciousness with adornments is common. Often, people with this position sell themselves short. They are not risk takers when it comes to relationships, often choosing a path that they feel is safe, even if it is an uncomfortable one. Fear of giving can also express itself through tight-fistedness with money.The key to handling these aspects is to learn to loosen up and relax. Know that you may be oversensitive to rejection — and try to gain some perspective when you feel your love is not being returned to your satisfaction. Are you truly letting love in, or is there a part of you that is scared? Could your expectations and “heaviness” in the area of relationships (you might take love more seriously than most) be getting in the way of accepting love and affection? Venus-Saturn people may have deep-seated feelings of being unworthy of love, even if they are able to rationalize and decide otherwise!Alternate interpretations: Venus square Saturn or Venus opposition Saturn: *You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, you are very cautious about becoming close to people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you. You may become romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love.#You may find that your best sexual relationships are with individuals who are significantly older or younger than yourself. The role of teacher is so significant in your life that it may pervade your love life. You will need to overcome a sense of reserve or inhibition to deepen your spiritual connection.

Mars

Mars Square Pluto

This is the time where others might impose their will on you or you on them. Your ambition is high, as is that of others. This could lead to head-butting instead of cooperation. You can accomplish a lot today, but do not do so by running roughshod over the feelings or ideas of others. Today is not the day to lock horns with the boss or those in authority. Cool your jets. How you handle opposition from others today will go a long way in determining just how successful your actions will be. Keep your nose clean today and avoid all underhanded tactics. Remember, you will reap what you sow. Respect the rights and ideas of others. Try to see things their way and give them the benefit of the doubt.This is a powerful aspect in a natal chart suggesting, in your life time, you very often see extremes of behavior and experiences, or go through crises more than most. You may be no stranger to violence or abuse. You learn through your experiences self-control and self-awareness so that you are better equipped to deal with these extremes. You are wonderful to have around in times of crises, as you can quickly take the lead and you can be undaunted when it comes to defending or helping those you love. Your desires are deep, intense, and sometimes troubling. At times, you seem to attract strong opposition, perhaps because your own nature is rather provocative. You are a natural-born fighter. You can also be quite driven to find answers, and you make a good psychologist, analyst, and investigator. Compulsive behaviors should be watched carefully, as they can consume you and lead you to risky endeavors and difficult scenarios. There can be a strong desire to be in control. You have a tendency to impose your will upon others, which can cause severe problems for yourself when they react in self-defense. You have a hair-trigger temper and may even resort to verbal or physical abuse when upset. Learning to react to unpleasant circumstances with your intellect rather than your emotions comes with maturity. It’s also possible that you experience many extremes in life, and that you are on the receiving end of difficult tempers more than most.It is all too easy for you to find something negative about a situation. Avoid issuing ultimatums when you meet an obstacle. Instead, find a way to convince others to work with you of their own free will. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you.You do not easily tolerate a dominating attitude in others. You have a healthy respect for power and authority, but only if it is handled fairly.This aspect gives you a somewhat Scorpionic attitude toward your lovers, and it can modify the traits associated with the sign of your Mars considerably. In other words, there is a distinct possessive and demanding streak in your sexual nature. Your approach to love and sex can be quite intense at times. Your sexual desire nature is a very strong one, and you may even use sex as a bargaining chip in your relationships in order to achieve your goals. More likely, however, is a very focused and intense sexual nature. This also adds a very magnetic quality to your appeal. When a woman finds you attractive, it can transform into a near obsession! Your aura is strong and somewhat mysterious. You tend to come across as stronger than you intend. In fact, some people are intimidated by you, and you may not understand why this is so. When you want something (or someone!) you are very determined. For you, it can be “all or nothing”. When you are finished with something, you leave it behind you and there is no going back. You want a deep, soulful attachment on a sexual level. In your love life you do not take rejection well. You fear betrayal and abandonment, and this can skew your perception of your lover. You have a highly developed sex drive, but you must learn to rein in your aggressiveness in this area. Power struggles and control issues may surface often in your relationships. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him Report.#You perceive the cruel edge in people, and understand its source. As you deal with your own ruthlessness, you learn how to respond to it in others without risking your physical well-being. Self-confidence develops out of self-control in your interaction with others.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Pluto: Squares – Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Lee, Mel Gibson, Jeremy Irons, Patrick Swayze. Oppositions – Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, Kirstie Alley.

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.
