Solar activity was low. New Region 3469 (N27W37, Dro/beta) was numbered and, in addition to the remaining three active regions on the disk, was stable and quiescent throughout the period. The majority of C-class flare activity observed this period originated from a source beyond the NW limb. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

The solar kp index is active, reinforcing retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.

The solar wind environment was weakly enhanced this period, possibly in response to a CME glancing blow. Total IMF strength reached a peak of 10 nT while the Bz component was sustained southward at -6/-8 nT after 20/1730 UTC. Solar wind speeds ranged between 325-375 km/s. The phi angle was positive.

There is a 30% 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.


The waxing moon is currently in Capricorn, at 16 degrees, 11' 43", at a velocity of 13.82 degrees per day.

The First Quarter moon is currently 6.5 days old. It is 368986.51 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 9:27:15, 13 Nov, 2023. The next full moon is at 9:16:41, 27 Nov, 2023.

Moon Is In Capricorn

Well buckle up, space cowboys and intergalactic gals, we're about to go on a cosmic journey! The Moon, our trusty lunar nightlight, has made its celestial pit-stop in Capricorn. It's currently hanging out approximately 375,437.378637250 km away from us - close enough to wave a hanky at, but far enough to avoid any awkward small talk. Now, with the Moon in Capricorn, you might feel like you’re donning Flash Gordon's spacesuit yourself, ready to conquer the universe, one planet at a time! Yes, even Mars! You hear that, Elon Musk? You're not the only one with galactic ambitions. With the Moon in the realm of the Sea Goat (which, by the way, is more of an amphibious mountain goat-fish hybrid than your average barnyard resident), you're likely to feel a surge of discipline. That's right, my friends, it's time to embrace your inner Sheldon Cooper. You'll be organizing your comic book collection, color-coding your sock drawer and maybe even finally mastering that 'pivot table' thingy in Excel. But remember, horoscope buddies, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn - a big ol' gas giant that doesn't mess around. So, while you're feeling as ambitious as a Sci-Fi hero, try not to take life too seriously. Not everything is a do-or-die mission to save Earth from Ming the Merciless. Instead, channel this energy into constructive tasks. Maybe invent a new algorithm, solve a Rubik's cube (without peeling off the stickers), or simply challenge yourself to a Star Trek marathon. Remember, the cosmos is vast, mysterious and filled with infinite possibilities... just like your Netflix watch list. So go forth, live long and prosper, and may the Moon-in-Capricorn-force be with you!

Mercury

Mercury is in Libra

Mercury is prograde at 28 Lib 17' 57", moving at 1.67 degrees per day, and is 213179892km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Libra

Well hello there, cosmos explorers! Strap on your space boots and adjust your spectacles because we've got Mercury in Libra! Yes, you heard it right. Our speedy little friend Mercury has parked itself in the land of Libra, over 213,151,853 kilometers away. That's approximately the same distance as 5,286,796 marathons lined up one after another, or roughly the number of unread emails in your inbox, am I right? Now, Mercury in Libra isn't just about racking up frequent flyer miles. It's about our communication with others. We're talking love relationships, family, friends, coworkers, and that barista who always forgets your soy milk. Been having any fights? Nursing a grudge older than your sourdough starter? Well, it's time to kiss and make up, friends. You see, Libra is represented by the Scales of Justice. So, when Mercury is in Libra, diplomacy becomes our main squeeze. It's like we're suddenly all contestants on "Space Diplomats: Galactic Edition". We'll be trying to approach every situation in a fair-minded and balanced way, like a tightrope walker balancing a laptop while trying to schedule a Zoom meeting. But beware, my starry-eyed friends! This cosmic alignment also comes with a danger - the peril of being too nice. Yes, you heard it right, too. nice. You might find yourself sugar-coating things or holding back information just to keep the peace. It's like trying to convince an alien that those aren't cat hairs on your spaceship seat, they're... um... stardust fibers! Remember, kindness can sometimes become a barrier to real communication. So, whether you're debating the merits of Star Trek versus Star Wars, or just trying to express an opposing belief with respect and openness, remember this: there are many ways to connect, and agreement is just one of them. Now go forth, intrepid space travelers, and may the stars guide your way!

Venus

Venus is in Virgo

Venus is prograde at 11 Vir 12' 33", moving at 0.97 degrees per day, and is 100793892km away and receding.

Venus Is In Virgo

Alright, star gazer, here's the skinny: Venus is pulling up a chair in Virgo's backyard and things are about to get real. And by real, I mean like a reality TV show where everyone is suddenly obsessed with quality control. You remember that TV show, right? "Who Wants To Marry a Perfectionist?" Yeah, didn't think so. Anyway, with Venus in Virgo, you might find yourself channeling that one friend who insists on using coasters even at dive bars. You know the type. They're the ones who iron their jeans, organize their spice rack alphabetically, and need their love life to resemble a well-rehearsed symphony. For those of you in relationships, consider this a cosmic intervention. Time to step back, put on your lab goggles, and conduct a thorough relationship analysis. Are you getting your money's worth? Is your partner pulling their weight or just pulling your leg? If you're single, don't fret. This transit is like having your own personal red flag detector, spotting potential love disasters from a mile away. In fact, you might swap swiping right for reading a good book or, heaven forbid, actually doing some work. The downside, of course, is that you might come off as a bit of a nitpicker. Remember, constructive criticism is the name of the game, not "let's see how many faults I can find in my partner before breakfast." But hey, a little fine-tuning never hurt anyone. Your relationship could end up more polished than Sheldon Cooper's rock collection. And while all this relationship auditing might not sound like the stuff of a steamy romance novel, Venus in Virgo isn't all spreadsheets and checklists. Virgo is an Earth sign, after all, and Earth signs know how to appreciate the finer things in life - good food, fine art, and a healthy dose of nature. So yes, even under Virgo's watchful eye, Venus can still be passionate. Just don't expect any whirlwind romances or spontaneous Vegas weddings. Venus in Virgo is more about a slow-burn romance that might require a bit of patience and a lot of appreciation for the details. So hold onto your telescopes, space cadets. It's going to be one heck of a cosmic ride.

Mars

Mars is in Scorpio

Mars is prograde at 06 Sco 10' 44", moving at 0.68 degrees per day, and is 381408557km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Scorpio

Great Scott! Mars is in Scorpio, which is a cosmic event that's more intense than a flux capacitor running at 1.21 gigawatts! Now, brace yourselves, my interstellar travelers, because Mars in Scorpio is akin to Doc Brown driving the DeLorean at 88mph - there's no room for compromise or slowing down. It's like we've been handed the keys to our own personal time machine, and we're in charge of where we're heading, be it the Wild West or the far future. Our willpower during this time will hit its all-time high. We're talking higher than my hair in the 80s, folks! We're not afraid to delve into the shadowy realms of our psyche, exploring the mysterious corners and hidden alleyways of our minds. It's the perfect time for some psychological spring cleaning. Who knows? You might find some old emotional baggage that’s ready for a transformational yard sale. But beware, my celestial comrades! This astrological alignment could also rev up our tempers, making us as fiery as a malfunctioning Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor. Our aggressive energy might be bubbling under the surface like a soda left in the DeLorean's cup holder - ready to explode. So, choose your battles wisely. This is not a time to play Biff Tannen, using anger to bulldoze through problems. Instead, let's get creative! Use this Martian energy to fuel projects that channel your passion positively. Build a hoverboard, invent a mind-reading helmet - the sky's the limit! In essence, Mars in Scorpio is like a cosmic boot camp for the soul. It's our chance to rise above the shadows, overcome our internal Griff Tannens, and harness our power. Remember, it's your actions that define your future, not your past. As I always say, "Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one!"

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 12 Tau 13' 58", moving backwards at 0.13 degrees per day, and is 598842067km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Greetings and salutations, my celestial voyagers! Welcome to another thrilling episode of "What the Heck is Happening in the Cosmos?!" Today's cosmic subject: Jupiter is currently making a pit-stop in Taurus. Yes, you heard it right, folks! Our big boy Jupiter, the Santa Claus of the solar system (always jolly and spreading joy), decided to drop by Taurus, the zodiac's equivalent of that chill friend who always has snacks and never rushes you. Now, when these two get together, it's like a cosmic Netflix and chill session. They remind us that the answers we seek aren't hidden in some distant galaxy or buried deep within an alien civilization's ancient texts. No, siree! They're chilling out right inside us, sipping cosmic lattes, and waiting for us to join them. This transit is like an intergalactic wakeup call, reminding us to take a step back from our daily grind and tap into our inner Yoda. Jupiter in Taurus is like an energizer bunny crossed with a financial advisor. It will have us scribbling to-do lists, checking off tasks like we're playing cosmic bingo, and encouraging us to trust the process, no matter how slow and steady it may be. If you're gunning for a dream or long-term goal, now's the time to put on your space suit and blast off! Also, here's an exciting tidbit: life can be a cosmic jackpot when Jupiter is in Taurus. Jupiter, the planet of good luck (and let’s not forget, enormous gas), meets Taurus, the sign of wealth and money. It's like finding a winning lottery ticket in your old pair of jeans. But, beware! Taurus is a bit of a cosmic hedonist, and Jupiter is not known for its restraint. We may find ourselves confusing wants as needs. So, resist the urge to impulsively buy that rocket ship you've been eyeing. Patience, young padawan! So, instead of fretting over Jupiter being a whopping 598862285.011060119km away (give or take a few meters), let's focus on the wisdom it brings, right to our doorsteps. Or, in scientific terms, it's not the distance, it's the displacement that matters. Stay curious, stay patient, and keep looking up!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 00 Pis 40' 54", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 1373165720km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn in Pisces: The Galactic Space Opera Continues!

Prepare for some serious celestial shenanigans, because Saturn's currently doing the backstroke in the Piscean pool and he's about 1373093615.153887987km away, give or take a parsec. Yes, you heard it right, the Grandmaster of Rules has gone all bohemian and is hanging out in the galaxy's most artistic hangout. So, whether your dream is to write the next 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', or you're planning to start your own Wookie-themed cafe, now's the time to get those gears moving!

But remember, Saturn in Pisces isn't exactly a stroll through Ewok Village. It's more like being interrogated by a droid who’s had one too many oil baths. You know, that awkward moment when C-3PO walks in on your Death Star demolition plans with a feather duster in hand. So, be prepared for some cosmic cleaning and decluttering. After all, Saturn won't let a "No Trespassing" sign stop him, especially if it's written in Wookie.

Now, as we venture into this Piscean realm, where dreams are more like the Cantina Band's latest hit and sleep is as elusive as a Jedi mind trick, you might find yourself feeling a bit... uneasy. But hey, that's why we have meditation, forest walks, deep breathing exercises, and naps (with a dream journal on standby, of course). Aim for a full cycle of sleep, even if it means hitting the hay earlier than a Bantha at bedtime. After all, you wouldn’t want to miss any of the cosmic wisdom being served up during this transit.

So, buckle up, space cadets! Saturn in Pisces is the kind of interstellar adventure that can guide us to uncharted territories within ourselves. Just remember to keep your lightsabers handy and your sense of humor intact. The Force, and Saturn, are with you!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 21 Tau 59' 55", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 2799540268km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Well, hello there, celestial fans! Put on your funkiest socks and grab your calculators because we're about to dive headlong into the cosmic whirlpool. Uranus, that big blue gas giant, is currently parked in Taurus, a star sign known for loving stability as much as Sheldon Cooper loves his spot on the couch. And if you know anything about Uranus (besides those childish giggles whenever someone mentions its name), you'd know it loves shaking things up more than a hipster loves avocado toast. Now, what does this mean for you? Well, imagine a calm cow grazing peacefully in a field, and suddenly a UFO lands right next to it. That's pretty much our situation here. Taurus would rather chew its cud in peace, but Uranus is blasting alien techno music and demanding a dance-off. In short, get ready for some big changes, my friends! And don't think you can just hide under your blanket fort and wait this one out. Oh no, Uranus is like that annoying gym teacher in high school that wouldn't let you sit out dodgeball. You WILL participate in these changes, whether you like it or not. And who knows, you might just discover you're actually pretty good at dodgeball... I mean, embracing change. Money, that necessary evil, is Taurus' home turf. So while Uranus plays DJ in this star sign, expect some radical remixes to our financial systems. Forget Bitcoin, we might see the rise of Starcoin, Moonbucks or even Uranus Unobtainium! Banks might turn into blockchain hubs, and the stock market could flip like a pancake on a Sunday morning. On a personal level, it's time to rethink our relationship with money and material possessions. Are you chained to your credit card debt like a Sci-Fi fan to a Star Trek marathon? Do you cling onto your possessions like Gollum to his precious? Well, Uranus in Taurus is here to give you a cosmic kick in the pants and help you break free of those shackles. Resisting change is like trying to stop the Earth from spinning - futile and likely to make you dizzy. So embrace the chaos, my friends, because as they say, change is the only constant. Except for the speed of light. And Pi. And... well, you get the idea. Happy stargazing!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 26' 58", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4347037516km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, star gazers and earthly wanderers! Today, we're going to warp dive into the cosmic currents as Neptune, our celestial illusionist, pirouettes in retrograde through the deep, spiritual waters of Pisces. Hold on to your tricorders! You see, the universe is a lot like a Starfleet commissary. You've got all sorts of energies floating around like those unpredictable tribbles, each adding a unique flavor to the cosmic gumbo. Now, Neptune in Pisces? It's like adding a dash of Romulan ale – it blurs the usual lines, makes distinctions fuzzy, and helps us see that we're all just beings under the same starry sky. In this alien landscape, emotions take the captain's chair. Logic? Yeah, it’s there, but it’s more like a first officer – supportive, useful, but not calling the shots. So, Vulcan friends, you might find the emotional high tide a bit...uncomfortable. But remember, even Mr. Spock had his moments of passion. Now, this is the perfect time for you to tap into your inner Betazoid, exploring your emotional intelligence and the unique gifts you bring to the Federation of Life. Maybe you've been thinking about learning Klingon yoga or building a shrine to the Prophets in your quarters. Go for it! The cosmic vibes are all about embracing the spiritual, connecting with the sacred, and sharing it with your crew. So, put on your Starfleet issue Birkenstocks, grab your phaser (set to stun, of course), and boldly go where you haven't gone before, emotionally and spiritually speaking. Remember, as Captain Sisko would say, 'It's easy to be a saint in paradise'. But it's out here, amidst the cosmic chaos, that we truly learn and grow. Neptune in Pisces is your away mission to the heart of the universe. Embrace the journey and, as always, live long and prosper!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 27 Cap 55' 03", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5214179523km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Ahoy, star voyagers! As Captain Jean-Luc Picard might say, "Tea, Earl Grey, hot," but today we're serving a cosmic brew of planetary alignments. So, grab your telescope, your favorite Starfleet uniform, and prepare to engage with the cosmos. Make it so, Pluto is in Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Isn't Pluto a wee bit far away?" Absolutely, at a whopping 5214120183.325998306km, it's no walk in the park, or even a mild warp drive away. But remember, distance in space is like the amount of time between Star Trek reboots - it's all relative! Fascinatingly, Pluto is currently in prograde motion. For those of you who forgot to attend Starfleet Academy, that means it's moving in the same direction as the rest of us. It's not going rogue like a Ferengi trader on a bad latinum streak. Now, as for Pluto being in Capricorn, imagine Q has clicked his fingers and transformed you into a highly driven, success-oriented entity. In fact, it's as if he's combined the ambitious nature of a young ensign aiming for their first captaincy with the unyielding focus of a Vulcan during a chess match. However, like a Borg cube looming on the horizon, there's potential peril in this alignment. Your tolerance for differing viewpoints may be as absent as Captain Kirk's shirt in a fight scene. This transit demands results, and it doesn't care if you have to act like a Romulan to get them! Pluto, that misunderstood little rock at the edge of our solar system, is asking us to jettison our negative patterns like faulty warp coils. Sounds good, right? But remember, in the words of Mr. Spock, "Change is the essential process of all existence." This transformation involves some constructive destruction. So, be as deliberate as Data playing poker when deciding what to destroy in order to create. In conclusion, don't let the intensity of Pluto in Capricorn transform you into a grumpy Cardassian. Instead, use this time to boldly go towards your goals, engage with your ambitions, and remember to keep your phasers set to 'fun'!

The Sun

Sun Conjunct Mercury

You may feel like expressing yourself today through your thoughts and words. You feel a need to be heard, that you have something of importance to say. Say what is on your mind, but give equal time to others and listen to them. You might learn something new. Your thinking today should be sharp and focused.

The Sun

Sun Trine Saturn

Self-discipline, organizing ability, and stamina are the order of the day. You are methodical, systematic and can make much progress today simply by rolling up your shirt sleeves and getting to work. People above you are likely to notice your efficient efforts and reward for your hard work will be imminent. Constructive ambition, patience, practical insights, and maturity are the keywords today.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Saturn to accept responsibilities, to lead a rather ordered life, and to apply caution in their financial and business dealings. They rarely jump to conclusions or take uneducated risks. They have a certain amount of patience and enough self-discipline to slowly but surely achieve what they set out to do. Although somewhat undemonstrative, they are generally loyal and responsible people to those they care about.These are not the quickest-moving people around - they take their time and generally use a step-by-step approach to most projects - but they steadily reach their goals. Sun sextile and trine Saturn people are naturally trustworthy, and they don’t have much patience for those who don’t show respect for others, who take foolish risks, and who lead disorganized lives. With the trine, all of these traits come naturally. With the sextile, these traits are available when they are needed.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Jennifer Aniston, M C Hammer, Ben Affleck, Meryl Streep, Carl Sandburg, Angelina Jolie, Winston Churchill, Robert DeNiro; Trines – Justin Timberlake, Leonardo DiCaprio, Muhammad Ali, Bono (U2), Ron Howard, Raquel Welch, Gloria Vanderbilt, Dinah Shore, Linda McCartney, Sheena Easton, Elton John, Catherine Deneuve, Pearl Bailey.

Power struggles may be likely today. You may encounter others who try to force their will on you or others who resent feeling as if you are forcing your ego on them. Try to compromise and find a balance. Transformation can come about if you are open to change and if you can keep your ego from becoming all-encompassing. Today may be an intense day. Control your arrogance and your domineering attitudes. Be reasonable.People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves.Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.Famous people with Sun in hard aspect to Pluto: Squares – Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field; Oppositions – Muhammad Ali, Robert Duvall, John Travolta, Elvis Presley, Steve Allen, John Hurt, James Earl Jones; Oppositions – Nicole Brown Simpson, R.D. Laing, Maya Angelou, Jeffrey Archer, Brooke Shields, Margaret Thatcher, Steffi Graf, Barbra Streisand, Farrah Fawcett.

Mercury Trine Saturn

You have a keen eye for detail and a practical turn of mind today. Your thinking is deep, practical, organized, and deliberate. You are aware of every flaw in thought and material and your work today will be towards precision. Concentration is sharp and focused. Plans made today are well thought out and, because of this, will probably succeed.Your mind is well-disciplined when it needs to be, and you possess strong powers of organization and orderliness. You are good at detail work. You are a person who says what you mean and mean what you say, and you can be baffled by, or impatient with, those who don’t. You are very trustworthy and reliable, showing up on time for appointments due to a basic respect for others and for schedules and orderliness. You make a loyal friend. You are capable of exceptionally clear and realistic thinking. Making plans is something that comes naturally to you–you consider consequences and possible scenarios before arriving at a decision or embarking on something entirely new. You are somewhat of a doubting Thomas, and you don’t naturally jump up and down with excitement about new ideas or plans. Your conversations may at times be spare but to the point.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 Saturn have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Edgar J. Hoover, Paul Newman, Olivia Newton-John, Pierre Trudeau; Trines – Wilem Dafoe, Sally Field, Ed McMahon, Raquel Welch, Robert Urich.

You may experience verbal boxing matches today along with a test of wills. Propaganda may be spread that just isn't true. Don't bully people into seeing the rightness of your cause. Be tolerant of others' viewpoints. Remember, you're not always right.You are so perceptive and you dig so deep for answers that you can be your own worst enemy. As a result, you might find ulterior motives or dark intent where there is none, and your suspicious, provocative attitude can cause some problems in your personal life, particularly if it reaches the level of paranoia. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that you are inclined to do, and a tendency that should be kept in check in your dealings with others. However, your determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if you employ it in your work, for example, which can involve investigation and research, psychology, or revealing and perhaps dark creative arts. You can be insatiably curious about all that is hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret. You have a great love of debate, but should be careful that you don’t overpower others with your strong opinions, attempting to “convert” them to your frame of mind, or treat regular debate or exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Many of you do learn to harness your intense mental energy and apply it productively. You are capable of very hard work and effort.Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report — You are bright and insightful but the very strength and depth of your vision can mislead you. In consequence, you get in your own way a lot. The magnitude of a project can intimidate you so that you don’t even embark on it. You are a perfectionist and compulsive. You fear being judged by others as inadequate and this quality has you afraid to act. Of course, you do overcome this many times in your day to day life, but it goes smoother for you when you stop attributing negative motives to those around you. You are able to do this when you feel better about yourself. Periods of meditation and contemplation are necessary to get to know yourself.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Pluto: Squares – Hank Williams, Brigitte Bardot, Bjork, Bo Derek, Cloris Leachman, George Lucas, Mickey Rooney, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lee Iacocca, D. H. Lawrence; Oppositions – Oprah Winfrey, Boris Yeltsin, Elvis Presley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kurt Cobain.

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.
