Solar activity was a low levels. Region 3451 (N16W86, Eki/Beta-Gamma) rotated mostly out of view and was too foreshortened to properly classify, thus no changes from the last period were assumed. This AR was responsible for a C7.2/SF flare at 11/0937, which was the largest event of the period. Region 3460 (S10W20, Dai/Beta-Gamma) underwent slight decay in its trailing spots, losing its delta grouping, and low-level C-class activity. Region 3461 (N11W02, Cro/Beta) exhibited evolution as it gained spots, while Region 3466 (N09E05, Cro/Beta) was numbered this period as it developed rapidly. The remaining numbered groups was relatively quiet, and stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

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

Solar wind parameters, as measured at the ACE spacecraft, were indicative of background conditions. Total field averaged between 3-5 nT, the Bz component was +/4 nT and solar wind speeds were near or under 300 km/s. Phi was positive until approximately 11/1512 UTC when a SSBC occurred and phi angle entered a negative solar sector.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 5% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Virgo

Hello, star gazers and interstellar dreamers, strap in, because it's time for another cosmic update brought to you by yours truly! Now let's talk about our dear ol' Moon, currently vacationing in the meticulous, hyper-organized neighborhood of Virgo. Yes folks, the Moon is clocking in at a solid 403,397.939751493km away – I double-checked the measurements, because, well, we're in Virgo territory after all. For those of you who aren't up to speed on their astro-puns, Virgo is the celestial nit-picker of the zodiac. Think of that one friend who color codes their socks and alphabetizes their spices, but also somehow has the answers to every single episode of Jeopardy. That's Virgo for you. So what does this mean for us, the humble Earthlings? Well, while the moon is bunking with Virgo, expect a burst of productivity. You might find yourself finally tackling that pile of laundry that's been slowly morphing into a sentient being or finishing that crossword puzzle that's been taunting you for weeks. This is the time to channel your inner nerd and make Marie Kondo proud. But don't get too comfortable, folks. Our lunar buddy is a bit of a nomad and will be packing its bags for a cosmic road trip to Libra in the next 24 hours. So, enjoy the Virgo vibes while you can, because soon we'll be trading in our broomsticks and dustpans for some good conversation and harmony-seeking balance. So grab your telescopes, your to-do lists, and maybe even a calculator if you're feeling particularly Virgoan today, because the cosmos is calling! Until next time, keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground, space cadets!

Mercury is prograde at 12 Lib 50' 07", moving at 1.76 degrees per day, and is 203706332km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Libra: A Cosmic Comedy

Gather round, stargazers! Mercury, our silver-tongued celestial cousin, has just made itself comfy in the living room of Libra, and let me tell you, it's like a cosmic episode of Friends over here. We're talking heart-to-hearts, make-ups, break-ups...the whole shebang! And I'm not just chirping about your love life. Nope! This cosmic sitcom extends to all relations: your overbearing boss, your quirky mailman, even your pet goldfish.

When Mercury settles itself in Libra, it's like we've all been handed a shiny diplomatic badge. Libra, with its Scales of justice, is all about balance and fairness. It’s the Switzerland of the Zodiac, if you will. So, prepare to be so objective you could give a Vulcan a run for their money during this time. You'll be weighing each decision as if you’re a contestant on a game show, considering each option like it's a juicy piece of gossip.

But wait! There's a plot twist in our astrological sitcom. Mercury in Libra might just turn you into the universe's most agreeable doormat. Beware the 'too-nice' syndrome! You wouldn't want to end up sugar-coating reality just to keep the peace, would you? It's like pretending to enjoy that kale smoothie your fitness-obsessed friend made you. Be honest, it tasted like grass clippings, didn’t it?

The moral of our cosmic story? Don't let niceness become a barrier to genuine communication. Remember, folks, agreeing is just one way to connect. You can also bond over a healthy debate about whether pineapple belongs on pizza or not (spoiler alert: it doesn't). Remember to express different viewpoints with respect and openness. It's like a cosmic dance where you step on each other's toes occasionally, but hey, that's part of the fun!

So, as Mercury lounges in Libra, let’s embrace this planetary party and remember the beauty of compromise, communication, and the occasional kale smoothie.

Venus

Venus is in Virgo

Venus is prograde at 02 Vir 48' 05", moving at 0.89 degrees per day, and is 90671881km away and receding.

Venus Is In Virgo

All right space cadets, strap in, because we've got Venus pulling up a chair in Virgo's dining room and things are about to get a little...particular. Now, I'm not saying you're about to start alphabetizing your spices or color-coding your socks, but let's just say love is about to get a bit more analytical. When Venus parks its celestial behind in Virgo, it's like the universe is kindly suggesting we all put on our lab coats and take a closer look at our love lives under the proverbial microscope. For those of you who are already spoken for, this might mean stepping back, squinting a little and asking yourself "Am I getting the prime cut of relationship steak here, or am I settling for ground beef?" For those of us flying solo, Venus in Virgo is like a cosmic pair of rose-tinted glasses getting smashed to bits. Suddenly, you’re noticing the red flags that usually go unnoticed. Like, why does that new crush of yours only ever text you after midnight, hmmm? But hey, love isn’t all about sunshine and rainbows, sometimes it's about spreadsheets and pie charts too. During Venus in Virgo, you might find yourself more in love with your work than actual humans. And honestly, who can blame you? Work doesn't leave dirty dishes in the sink or use up all the hot water. The downside? Well, you might find yourself critiquing your partner more than usual. But hey, think of it as constructive criticism. Maybe they really do need to learn how to load the dishwasher correctly. Or perhaps they could try not to drop their dirty laundry next to the basket instead of in it. I know, I know, this doesn’t exactly sound like the backdrop to a steamy romance novel. But remember folks, Virgo is an Earth sign – we're talking long walks on the beach, home-cooked meals, and appreciating the finer things in life. And hey, who said there’s anything wrong with a little bit of quality control in the boudoir? So, as Venus settles into Virgo, let's all take a deep breath, adjust our pocket protectors, and get ready for a love life that's less 'Fifty Shades' and more 'Sherlock Holmes.' Remember, it's not nitpicking, it's just being discerning.

Mars

Mars is in Scorpio

Mars is prograde at 00 Sco 03' 50", moving at 0.68 degrees per day, and is 381289334km away and receding.

Mars Is In Scorpio

Mars In Scorpio: Get Your Cosmic Backbone On!

Hold onto your telescopes, stargazers! Mars just sashayed into Scorpio and boy, is he feeling feisty. This is like the celestial equivalent of that friend who can't handle spicy food but insists on ordering the 'Volcano Inferno' curry - you know there's going to be fireworks!

With Mars in Scorpio, we've all been handed the cosmic version of Popeye's spinach. Compromise? Ha, that's as likely as a vegan werewolf. Our drive and ambition are cranked up to eleven, pushing us to change our lives with the tenacity of a stubborn cat that's decided your new sofa is now its personal scratching post.

The upside? You might just find yourself exploring the darker, more vulnerable side of life like a nocturnal Sherlock Holmes. Sure, it might be scary, but think of the rewards! The insights you gain during this time could set the stage for a major transformation, or at least some really interesting dinner conversations.

But beware, my celestial comrades. Mars' fiery nature mixed with Scorpio's watery depths can create a steamy cocktail of aggressiveness that could keep conflicts simmering longer than a slow-cook chili. Remember, not all walls need tearing down. Choose your battles wisely, redirect that passion positively, or you'll find yourself with the social popularity of a skunk at a garden party.

Think of Mars in Scorpio as your spiritual boot camp. It's a chance to work on our personal power, courage, discipline, and willpower. Just remember to rise above the shadows of power struggles, revenge and bitterness. After all, holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to drop dead. So, let's all embrace the energy of Mars in Scorpio, and transform ourselves into the celestial superheroes we were born to be!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 13 Tau 19' 07", moving backwards at 0.11 degrees per day, and is 605362000km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Salutations, cosmic voyagers! Now, if you're asking me, "Doctor, where's Jupiter today?" I'd tell you it's gallivanting around in Taurus, a massive 605,396,985.311163187km away, give or take a few inches. Yes, we're talking retrograde here, folks! But don't go running off to hide under your duvet just yet. This planetary tango has more to offer than just a celestial light show. Now, let's talk about Jupiter, shall we? A gaseous giant with more wisdom than a well-read librarian. When it sidles up to Taurus, the zodiac's equivalent of a tenacious tortoise, you can bet the cosmos is trying to tell us something. "What's that?", I hear you ask. Well, it's whispering, "The wisdom you seek isn't on some far-off planet or hidden in a dusty old book; it's right there in you, just waiting to be discovered." Like finding out you've been wearing your underwear inside out all day... enlightening, yes? While Jupiter is doing the cosmic cha-cha with Taurus, it's like getting a VIP pass to make real progress towards your dreams. It's like compiling a to-do list for your life and having the motivation to actually start ticking things off. Jupiter is the cheerleader, encouraging growth, and Taurus is the coach, providing the patience and determination to see it through. And remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were the pyramids. So trust the process, my friends! Jupiter in Taurus is like finding a golden ticket in your chocolate bar; it's a time of prosperity. Jupiter is the cosmic Santa Claus, dealing out luck and fortune, while Taurus is the piggy bank, representing wealth and abundance. So, in essence, it's like winning the lottery without buying a ticket. But remember, even though Taurus has a taste for the finer things and rarely says "no" to indulgence, we must be careful not to mistake our needs for wants. So, hold onto your wallets and don't splurge on that diamond-encrusted cat collar just yet! So there you have it, space cadets! Jupiter in Taurus, a cosmic dance of wisdom, patience, and potential prosperity. Don't forget to pack your sense of humor and a dash of patience as you navigate this exciting cosmic journey. And remember, keep looking up!

Saturn in Pisces: A Cosmic Comedy

Well, buckle up my starry-eyed comrades, because Saturn is in Pisces and let's be honest, it's about to get a bit wild. That's right, our favorite celestial taskmaster has paddled into the deep waters of Pisces and it's basically like your stern, no-nonsense parent crashing your dreamy slumber party. Saturn in Pisces is like having Yoda as your life coach. It's the moment to look inward and embrace those daydreams of writing a book, starting a business, or designing that all-natural, gluten-free, quantum-physics-based chocolate chip cookie recipe. The energy in this transit is ripe for receiving cosmic wisdom, so keep a notepad handy. You might just end up with an astrophysical "how-to" guide on turning dreams into reality. But let's be real - it's not all sunshine and unicorn frappuccinos. Saturn's presence in Pisces can be a little like having a surprise audit from the Galactic Tax Bureau. Suddenly, those daydreams closest to your heart are being scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb, and it's easy to feel defensive. But remember, space folks, no amount of 'Keep Out' signs will stop Saturn from barging into your cosmic room. So, pop the kettle on, make a cup of your finest cosmic brew, and listen to the ol' taskmaster. His advice might just iron out the kinks in your grand plan. Now, Pisces realm is also associated with sleep and dreams, so with Saturn knocking about, you might find yourself feeling a bit restless. This is a great time to pull out your hippie survival kit: meditate, go for a long walk in nature, breathe deeply, take a nap (but make sure you have a dream journal nearby!), and perhaps even indulge in some early nights. In the cosmic comedy of Saturn in Pisces, the punchline is simple: be ready to listen, learn, and laugh at the absurdity of it all. It's a wild ride, so buckle up, tune in, and heed the wisdom of this transit. And remember, even in the vast expanse of the universe, sometimes the answers we seek are found within.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 18' 38", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2810548063km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, celestial voyagers! Put on your space helmets and buckle up because Uranus is retrograding through Taurus and it's going to be a ride wilder than a cat in zero gravity! Taurus, the cosmic bull, loves its routine like a geek loves Star Trek conventions. It's comfy in its space suit, sipping coffee from its favorite NASA mug. Taurus is all about stability, status quo, and not being flung into a black hole of change. But guess what? Uranus has other plans! Picture Uranus as the mad scientist of our solar system, always concocting some revolutionary mix-up, dancing the cha-cha with the laws of physics. Now it has set its sights on Taurus, and let me tell you, Mr. Bull is in for a cosmic swirly. The arena Taurus thrives in is money - it knows dollars and cents like Sheldon Cooper knows quantum physics. But with Uranus waltzing in, we might just see a Star Trek-like economy pop up. Maybe we'll trade in credits, or Bitcoin, or alien symbiotes! Who knows with Uranus? Banks might turn into interdimensional portals, stock markets could become more unpredictable than a quantum particle, and buying a house might involve a time-travel clause! On a personal level, this kooky planetary dance is shaking us free from our earthly shackles. With Uranus blasting through, we might start seeing our debts, taxes, and mortgages as less like necessary evils, and more like alien invaders to be vanquished. And you thought your hoarded collection of comic books was holding you back? Uranus is here to say, "Resistance is futile!" So, don your lab coats, fellow stargazers. The changes brought by this cosmic tango may seem more volatile than mixing baking soda and vinegar, but hold tight. They're here to bring stability, like finding a planet with just the right gravitational pull. So let's boldly go into this new era, for Uranus is in the driver's seat, and it's one heck of a cosmic joyride!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 39' 45", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4336049480km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, interstellar voyagers! Welcome to your daily dose of cosmic comedy where we take a hilarious look at the celestial soap opera playing out in our galaxy. Today's protagonist is Neptune, the blue, windy drama queen who's currently taking center stage in Pisces. Now, let me set the scene for you. Neptune, the planet named after the Roman god of the sea, is currently doing the backstroke in the ocean of Pisces. And not just any backstroke, my friends, but a retrograde backstroke – that's like trying to swim upstream in a river of Jell-O. Talk about a cosmic workout! In this cosmic drama, Pisces plays the role of the spiritual guru, reminiscent of a zen master crossed with a surfer dude. This sign is all about emotion, spirit, and the subtle art of "chillaxing." So, when Neptune meets Pisces, it's like a cosmic jam session between a psychedelic rock band and a choir of monks. This planetary mash-up grants us a unique form of sight - kind of like if you had X-ray vision, but instead of seeing through walls, you could see through people's BS. It's like a spiritual awakening, but without the need for yoga pants or incense. Neptune in Pisces is pulling us toward unity. It’s like a giant cosmic magnet, attracting everything to merge into one big celestial smoothie. And in the middle of this heavenly blend, our differences seem as insignificant as arguing over whether Han shot first (for the record, he totally did). This cosmic transit is like a call-to-arms, except instead of weapons, we're wielding gifts, ideas, and dreams. It's time to dig deep into our emotional toolbox and figure out what we can contribute to the collective cosmic potluck. So, whether your gift is baking the perfect soufflé or predicting the ending of every sci-fi movie (guilty as charged), it's time to share it with the world. This is also the perfect time to explore any spiritual path that calls to you. Whether that’s enrolling in Jedi Academy, creating a sacred altar space at home for your Star Trek memorabilia, or simply contemplating the mysteries of the universe while binge-watching The Big Bang Theory - go for it! Neptune in Pisces promises to support you in this process. So, folks, let's grab our snorkels and dive into the depths of our souls. Neptune in Pisces is showing us the way toward unity, understanding, and maybe even

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 27 Cap 53' 32", moving at 0 degrees per day, and is 5190243940km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

The celestial powers that be have orchestrated a cosmic meet-cute! Pluto, the mysterious recluse of the solar system, has cozied up to Capricorn, the steadfast mountain goat. Now, this ain't your average rom-com; it's more like a sci-fi space odyssey with a tinge of dark humor. Pluto, a cool 5.19 billion kilometers away (just a hop, skip, and a quantum leap), is doing a fancy footwork called prograde. No, it's not some new TikTok dance challenge but the motion of a planet moving in the same direction as the majority of other planets. In astrological lingo, when Pluto and Capricorn get together, it's like pairing Einstein with Jobs. They're both driven by success, power, and a healthy dose of caffeine, probably. They've got a shared schedule on Google Calendar and they're ticking off tasks like there's no tomorrow. However, during this transit, we might find our compassion for others' viewpoints getting tossed aside like last season's fashion trends. Both Pluto and Capricorn are a bit like those annoying group project partners who only care about the final result, not the creative process or brainstorming. So, be careful of becoming an idea snob. Pluto, the cosmic Marie Kondo, urges us to declutter our lives from negative patterns that are as welcome as pop-up ads. But remember, it's not a demolition derby - you're here for some constructive destruction. It's like cleaning out your garage; you want to make space, sure, but you don't want to accidentally toss out your limited edition Star Wars figurines. So folks, as Pluto waltzes with Capricorn in the grand ballroom of the cosmos, embrace the changes, keep an open mind, and remember not to throw out the baby Yoda with the bathwater.

Current Planetary Positions

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 Trine Saturn

You will have no problems today with work that is demanding or detailed. You are organized, deliberate, patient, exacting, attentive, and have plenty of stamina. This is a terrific day to do mundane, routine, or boring jobs as they won't seem quite so distasteful. Make the most of today and get plenty of things done.You know how to get to your goals in life by steady, patient, and persistent progress. You have good, practical overviews of the final result of your efforts. You are good at planning a strategy and sticking to it. You build your projects and your life with bedrock security in mind, with as little risk as possible. Discipline, patience, hard work, and the blessing of good judgment work together to form a picture that looks like “luck” to others. — Interpretation sample from the In Depth report.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 Mars and Saturn have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Mars sextile Saturn or Mars trine Saturn: *You possess the gifts of endurance and perseverance, the willingness to work hard and seriously to achieve your objectives. Once you decide you want something or make a commitment, you’ll do it “even if it takes forever”. Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize that any creative achievement is “10% inspiration, 90% perspiration”. You choose practical, realistic goals and pursue them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like to concentrate on one thing at a time and do a thorough job. You enjoy working in solitude, and often feel your best work is done when you are alone.#You may find that you go from one transformational situation to another, never really settling into any one thing. Yet you have the endurance necessary for the long haul.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Thomas Edison, Alfred Adler, Galileo, Camilla Parker Bowles, Freddie Prinze, Corbin Bernsen, Catherine the Great, Omar Sharif, Ben Stiller, Barbara Walters; Trines – Denzel Washington, Rudolph Steiner, Josef Stalin, Yves Saint Laurent, Emily Post, Marilyn Monroe, Sinclair Lewis, David Letterman, Annie Lennox, Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Griffith, Dwight Eisenhower, Eric Clapton, Kevin Butler, Kareem Abdul Jabar.

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.
