The Sun

Solar activity remained at low levels this period. Region 3483 (N09W09, Dsi/Beta-Gamma) was responsible for the vast majority of the flare activity, including the largest flare of the period, a C6.8/Sf at 08/0848 UTC. This region continued to grow in size and complexity as it transited the visible disk. Region 3477 (S15W25, Cao/beta) continued to be the largest region on the disk, yet remained quiet. The remaining regions were either stable or exhibited signs of decay.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Persistent CH HSS influences kept solar wind parameters enhanced through the period. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 4 nT to 8 nT, the Bz component was variable between +/- 6 nT, and the solar wind speeds averaged near 700 km/s. The Phi angle remained in a mostly negative orientation.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 10% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waning moon is currently in Virgo, at 29 degrees, 05' 54", at a velocity of 12.03 degrees per day.

The Waning Crescent moon is currently 25.6 days old. It is 403186.28 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 Virgo

Good day, star gazers and celestial enthusiasts! The Moon, our favorite chunk of space rock, has checked into the hotel Virgo for a brief stay. But don't worry, it's not the type to trash hotel rooms like a rock star. No, the moon is a model guest, tidying up after itself and even leaving a tip for housekeeping. You see, folks, when the Moon is in Virgo, things get a little bit...OCD. Suddenly, everyone becomes a cleaning wizard. Dust bunnies, beware! The stars are aligning for an all-out clean up operation. If there were inter-galactic inspectors, they would definitely give us a thumbs-up for cleanliness. But wait! There's more! The Moon will soon be packing its bags and heading off to the diplomatic suite of Libra. That's right, in the next 24 hours, our lunar friend will transition from maid mode to justice league. So, if you've been indulging in any shenanigans, now's the time to straighten up and fly right. In layman's terms, my dear astrology aficionados, the Moon is just about 401,447.645221065 km away. But don't let that distance get you down. Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder and the universe seem grander! So, polish those telescopes, iron your space suits, and get ready for some serious stargazing. Because even though we might be a speck in the cosmos, when the moon is in Virgo, we're the cleanest, most organized speck there is! Until next time, may your planets align, your horoscope be bright, and may the science be with you!

Mercury

Mercury is in Scorpio

Mercury is prograde at 28 Sco 28' 44", moving at 1.52 degrees per day, and is 207504047km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Scorpio

Well, well, well, space cowboys and cowgirls, just when you thought the universe was your little oyster, along comes Mercury doing a jitterbug in Scorpio. Yes, that's right my friends, our pint-sized planet is currently cosying up with our secretive Scorpion friend, and boy, is it stirring up some cosmic soup. Let's dive in, shall we? Now, you may not know this but Scorpio is the Sherlock Holmes of the Zodiac. It loves nothing more than a good mystery, and with Mercury, the planet of communication, playing Watson, expect things to get interesting. While Mercury is i-doodling around in Scorpio, we all become more like the curious cat that ate the canary. We start poking our noses into corners, asking questions, and digging through the metaphorical dirt for hidden treasure. But be warned, my starry-eyed friends, the truth can sometimes bite harder than a disgruntled space weasel. Mercury's little cosmic waltz in Scorpio is like switching on a low-energy, eco-friendly, LED flashlight in the attic of our souls. We become acutely aware of our deepest desires and fears, and how our lives intertwine with others. It's like realizing that your favourite space rock song is actually about existential dread - it's a downer, but it also makes you appreciate the lyrics more. But hold onto your telescopes, because there's a plot twist. Mercury in Scorpio can also turn us into a bunch of suspicious Sams. It's like we're convinced that everyone is hiding alien life forms in their basements (trust me, they're not). And if we push too hard, dig too deep, we risk turning a minor mystery into an intergalactic conspiracy theory. That being said, don't be too quick to dismiss this cosmic kerfuffle. Sometimes, asking the tough questions can lead to the answers we need. It's all about balance, my friends. So, brace yourselves for some astrological turbulence, but remember, it’s just Mercury doing its thing in Scorpio - nothing a good cup of space tea and a dose of cosmic courage can't handle! Remember, the universe is always talking, we just need to remember to listen. Or as I like to say, "Keep your ears to the stars and your eyes on the horizon."

Venus

Venus is in Libra

Venus is prograde at 00 Lib 56' 46", moving at 1.09 degrees per day, and is 122149379km away and receding.

Venus Is In Libra

Venus has Swiped Right on Libra

Alright, space cadets, grab your binoculars and look to the celestial dance floor because Venus has just done a cha-cha slide right into Libra's DMs! Not to be too technical, but Venus is only a mere 122,096,856.862460226km away (give or take a few cosmic inches). And what's more, Venus is currently prograde! That's astrologer jargon for "moving in the same direction as most other things in the universe," or to put it in layman's terms: "Venus isn't being a rebellious teenager."

Now, why should you care that Venus is cozying up with Libra? Well, because Venus is the love doctor of the cosmos and Libra is a hopeless romantic who's all about balance and harmony. It's like watching a celestial rom-com unfold!

During this transitory love-fest, relationships are less 'Game of Thrones' and more 'The Great British Bake Off'. Libra, being the peacemaker, would rather bake a lemon drizzle cake than cause a kerfuffle. We're all charm school graduates during this phase, so much so that we might even sweep issues under a cosmic rug. Arguments? What are those? They're on a vacation, my friend.

And listen, Venus in Libra isn't some half-hearted fling. Oh no...It's full-blown Nicholas Sparks novel material. The love equation isn't 50/50, it's 100/100. If there's an imbalance in your relationship, it will stick out like a sore thumb (or a black hole in the cosmos). But don't fret, we've got the cosmic cooperation to iron out those creases and make things right.

And let's not forget, Venus and Libra are the fashionistas of the zodiac. So, go ahead, splurge a little on that new outfit or redecorate your living room. It's all about feeling good, looking good, and spreading that cosmic charm.

So, my dear stargazers, while Venus is in Libra, remember to love like there’s no black hole tomorrow! Cooperate, keep the peace, and live lightly. In short, be like Bill Nye at a Grateful Dead concert. Now, go out there and make the most of this

Mars in Scorpio: A Cosmic Tango or Planetary Stand-Off?

Alright, buckle up, space cadets! We're about to dive into the celestial soup because Mars has decided to crash at Scorpio's pad for a while. And let me tell you, when the Red Planet decides to bunk with our Scorpion friend, it's not all moonbeams and stardust — it's more like a spicy cosmic salsa filled with fiery passion and a dash of tantrums.

This planetary sleepover gives us the power to channel our inner Star Trek captain, boldly going where no one has dared to tread. And compromise? Ha! That's as likely as finding a vegan hotdog at a Martian barbecue. But don’t worry, you’ll have the backbone of a cosmic dinosaur, fully in charge of your actions, kind of like the Hulk, but with better fashion sense.

The drive to change something in our lives through sheer willpower will hit warp speed during this time. Mars in Scorpio is less afraid of the dark side than Luke Skywalker was. This means we may end up doing some intense psychological spelunking, digging deep into our inner Batcaves to uncover our deepest desires and fears.

However, there's a downside to this planetary powwow. Our expressions might carry the subtle finesse of a supernova, leading to some explosive conversations. It’s like Yoda once said, “Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to buying too many self-help books.” But fear not, by choosing our battles wisely, we can use this energy to construct a Death Star... I mean, work on projects that help redirect our intensity in a more positive direction.

Think of this Mars in Scorpio phase as a spiritual boot camp, only without the tacky uniform and the early morning drills. It's a time to develop personal power, to rise above the darkness, and embrace our inner Jedi. Yes, there will be power struggles, perhaps even revenge. But remember, bitterness is as useful as a chocolate teapot. So, take this chance to learn forgiveness and mastery over your darker aspects. You have the courage, discipline, and willpower. Now let’s show that universe what you're made of!

Pluto

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 09 Tau 41' 21", moving backwards at 0.13 degrees per day, and is 597021814km away and receding.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Well, strap on your space boots and hold onto your pocket protectors, star gazers, because Jupiter is in Taurus, and things are about to get as wild as a Star Trek convention in Vegas! Think Spock on espresso shots. Remember how you used to lose your glasses on your head? Well, this celestial event is kind of like that. Jupiter, our big ol' smarty pants planet of wisdom, has cozied up to Taurus, the zodiac's most grounded sign. This cosmic collab is like a giant neon billboard reminding us that the answers we seek aren't hiding in some alien galaxy, but right here, in our own nerdy noggins. So, tune out that daily buzz (and no, I don't mean your phone's push notifications) and tap into that inner Yoda. This planetary pairing is like a cosmic Red Bull for your dreams and goals, giving you the energy to transform those to-do lists from theoretical scribbles into reality faster than you can say 'quantum physics.' Thanks to Jupiter's growth-happy vibes and Taurus' stubborn persistence, you'll be crossing off items like a pro. But brace yourself, fellow Trekkies, this isn't just a spiritual journey. When Jupiter, the planet of good luck, teams up with Taurus, the sign of wealth, we're talking potential prosperity that could make even Bill Gates blush. However, remember, just because Taurus loves the finer things in life doesn't mean you should start buying gold-plated calculators. So while Jupiter in Taurus might be tempting you to indulge, remember, moderation is key. We don't want to warp speed to a place of regret. Keep calm, carry on, and may the force (of Jupiter in Taurus) be with you!

Pluto

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 00 Pis 32' 06", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1416157671km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Aliens, Astrology, and Ye Olde Saturn in Pisces

So, folks, I've got some news for you. Saturn, our favorite ringed planet next door, has decided to crash in the watery realms of Pisces. It's like the Yoda of planets decided to go skinny dipping in an ocean of dreams, except he's still wearing his rings and brought a clipboard.

Now, what does this interstellar pool party mean for you? Besides having to question whether planets need to towel off, it also means it's time to dive headfirst into your deepest daydreams. That's right, it's not just your crazy Aunt Mabel who thinks you should write a book about your cat's philosophical musings, Saturn's backing her up on this one. But don't just dream about it, you've got to act on it! Start mapping out that business plan, or in this case, a feline manifesto.

Don't get me wrong, Saturn being in Pisces is no intergalactic beach vacation. It's more like an intervention from the universe. You might feel defensive when Saturn starts questioning your dreams like a reality show judge, but hey, even Simon Cowell has some valid points sometimes. So, let's roll out the red carpet for the celestial life coach and listen to what he's got to say.

With all this cosmic scrutiny, you might find yourself tossing and turning at night, dreaming about Saturn wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat and inspecting your subconscious. As much as that image amuses me, it's important to take care of your mental health during this time. Meditate, take a relaxing moonlit stroll, or even a nap. Just remember to keep a dream journal nearby. You never know when a dream about Saturn doing the Macarena might turn into your next big idea.

So, as Saturn sashays through Pisces, remember to keep an open mind, get plenty of rest, and above all, enjoy the cosmic dance! After all, how often do you get to see a planet do the backstroke in the pool of dreams?

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 21 Tau 14' 52", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 2787647674km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus In Taurus

Alright stargazers, buckle up because Uranus has just crash-landed in Taurus and it's like mixing oil with water, hippies with Wall Street, or Star Trek nerds with a Star Wars convention. Talk about a cosmic kerfuffle! Taurus, bless its stubborn little starry heart, is all about maintaining the status quo, while Uranus is that crazy uncle who shows up unannounced and rearranges your furniture. Now imagine that on a cosmic scale!

But wait, there's more! Taurus is the Warren Buffett of the zodiac, it knows its money and it likes it where it can see it—preferably in a high yield savings account. But Uranus, oh Uranus, you free spirit...you're about to turn that concept on its head. Expect revolutionary ways of handling money, both on a personal and global scale. We're talking Bitcoin on steroids, folks!

And here's the plot twist: while Uranus is doing its merry jig in Taurus for the next seven years, it's going to force us to reevaluate our relationship with money and materialism. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages—these are not the boss of you anymore. It's like a cosmic Marie Kondo moment, guys! This transit's goal? To spark joy and liberate us from financial shackles.

So, while it may feel like we've just been beamed up by Scotty into a parallel universe where nothing is as it seems, remember: resistance is futile. The changes brought by Uranus aren't just for kicks—they're meant to lead us towards a more stable future. So let's boldly go where no man (or woman, or non-binary individual) has gone before and embrace the cosmic shake-up. After all, life's too short for boring!

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 05' 37", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4379984344km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Attention, earthlings! Calling all Pisceans and non-Pisceans alike! That big blue ball of mystery, Neptune is doing the cosmic cha-cha in your sign. Yes, you heard it right, folks! And what's more? It's in retrograde. Now, before you start panicking about the internet going down or your coffee machine malfunctioning, let me clarify: in the cosmic world, retrograde doesn't mean "broken." It just means Neptune is boogieing backward in its orbit, making us feel like we're stuck in a cosmic time warp. I know what you're thinking: "Not another retrograde!" But hold onto your telescopes, because this celestial event is not as daunting as it might sound. In fact, it's the ultimate reality check! You see, Neptune in Pisces is like Neo from The Matrix, giving you those cool, slow-mo glasses to see through the digital noise...or in our case, the daily grind. The fusion of Pisces' emotional depth with Neptune’s love for unity creates a cosmic clarity so bright, it makes the Hubble telescope look like a pair of toy binoculars. Suddenly, all those petty squabbles about whose turn it was to do the dishes don't matter. The only thing shining brighter than that pile of dirty dishes is the path to unity and mutual understanding. This celestial tango is a call to action for us all. It's not just about discovering what we can bring to the table (aside from that long overdue dish duty). It's about dreaming bigger, reaching higher, and digging deeper into our emotional intelligence. So, dust off those dreams of a harmonious world and put them to good use! Think of this time as a cosmic open house. It's the perfect time to explore that spiritual path you've been curious about, or to set up an altar space at home. Heck, you can even try talking to your houseplants - they might have some wisdom to share! Remember, earthlings, Neptune in Pisces isn't here to cause chaos. It's here to remind us that we are all connected, like a cosmic Wi-Fi network. So, let's make the most of this celestial support, and upload our dreams into the universe! In the words of the wise Morpheus (or was it me?), "Don't think you are, know you are." So, dig out those rose-tinted glasses and embrace the retrograde. After all, it's not every day you get to see

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Pluto In Capricorn - Nerdy Astrologer Edition

Greetings, fellow star gazers, and welcome to another cosmic roller-coaster ride! Now, let's talk about the celestial elephant in the room - Pluto is in Capricorn! And if it's one thing I learned from watching "Doctor Who", it's that when Pluto and Capricorn team up, you better hold onto your sonic screwdrivers! Listen, I know that Pluto isn't technically a planet anymore (though my inner 90's kid will always believe in its planetary status)... but that doesn't mean it can't cause a cosmic ruckus. And with Capricorn involved, we're talking about a power duo that's more dynamic than a double espresso shot on a Monday morning. Now, as you know, Pluto is about 5264025897.129778862km away. Don’t worry! I did not forget the points after the first digit – I’m a nerdy astrologer, not a sloppy one! Anyway, that’s far, even by TARDIS standards, but its influence on us is stronger than a Dalek's desire for universal domination! Pluto and Capricorn are like a couple of cosmic workaholics, laser-focused on success (or world domination, if we’re sticking with the Doctor Who theme). They often forget to empathize with others' viewpoints, much like when you're so engrossed in binge-watching your favorite series that you forget to feed your cat (not that I would know anything about that...) But here's the kicker: Pluto is in prograde, so it's all about ditching those old, worn-out patterns that are as useful as a chocolate teapot. It's about eliminating the negatives, like when the Doctor regenerates into a new form. So, be mindful of what you're letting go. You don't want to accidentally discard something useful, like your sense of humor or appreciation for eccentric British sci-fi shows. So, in conclusion, during this Pluto-in-Capricorn phase, remember to keep an open mind, shed what's not needed, and always... ALWAYS... bring a banana to a party!

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Conjunct Mars

You should have lots of energy and vitality today. Go out and get some exercise. Be careful not to get into arguments with your superiors or with people in authority, like policemen. Avoid confrontations that involve your ego. Instead, channel the energy and potential hostility into something creative like your favorite hobby. The important thing is to express yourself in a constructive manner. How about playing in the park with a group of children? Do not overexert yourself or put too much strain on your heart. This means controlling your temper. Anger is one of the hardest things on your heart. Don't lay out in the sun too long. You may burn easier today than normal. Watch yourself around the stove or anything hot. Focus on being humble. Put your ego in the backseat.

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Opposite Uranus

Surprises may be in store for you today. These surprises may be disruptive and, if so, they are designed to help you grow. Look upon them as challenges and learning experiences. Problems today could come because of your eccentric behavior. Avoid bohemian tendencies and doing things just to be different. People are likely to take offense at your uniqueness. Don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Be alert today as impulsiveness may lead to accidents.The ego is quite large when the Sun is square or opposite Uranus. This is largely due to the fact that these people’s very identities ride on their sense of personal freedom. It can be quite a challenge to get them to do what they don’t want to do, simply because they see any attempts to push them in a certain direction as threatening their freedom. These are very dynamic individuals who question tradition and authority, yet, paradoxically, are quite set in their own ways.These people have a love-hate relationship with their own uniqueness. Much of the time they are very proud of their original personalities. Other times, they feel a bit left out for being “different”. Although they are humanitarian in many ways, they can be a little brusque when it comes to sentimentality or what they perceive to be excessive attachment to the past or to tradition.When the Sun and Uranus form a challenging aspect, there can be a lot of nervous energy and defensiveness. It can be difficult to hold a 9 to 5 job or to develop steady routines. They work best when they can manage their own schedules. They work in spurts. When they are hit with creative inspiration, they are capable of tremendous effort. However, they can be quite temperamental, and it is very hard for them to pour their hearts and souls into something that they don’t “feel” for at the moment. They don’t like superficiality or pretense, which is an admirable trait. However, their disdain for pretense can be problematic in a world where people are expected to perform whether they are inspired or not! I have a daughter who has the Sun in challenging aspect to Uranus, and there was quite an adjustment period when she entered first grade–a time when kids begin to truly experience structure. When the children in her gym class were told to dance, she simply stood there, immobile. When asked why she was not dancing, she replied, “But I don’t feel the dance inside of me, so how can I dance?” Sun-Uranus people don’t always feel like they “fit in” with the rules and structures of society. However, those that recognize the need to conform at least some of the time may be able to channel their high levels of intuition, inventiveness, and spiritedness into creative endeavors or important causes. They might find that they encounter much less resistance in day-to-day life this way.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Alan Alda, Billy Crystal, Stephen King, O. Henry (writer), Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), John Ritter, Dennis Rodman, Oliver Stone, George Washington, Bono (U2), Dustin Hoffman; Oppositions – Kevin Costner, Lauren Bacall, Ray Bradbury, Frank Capra, Billy Corgan, the Olsen twins, Geena Davis.

Mercury

Mercury

Mercury Sextile Venus

The pursuit of light pleasure gives happiness today. Spend time with friends in harmonious conversation. Go see a museum or go to an art gallery. Activities involving music are favored. Artistic stimulation of the mind is the keynote today.You are polite, choosing your words with care and love so as not to offend anyone. Your tactfulness stems from a distaste for disharmony and conflict. You are not always direct and honest as a result of this desire to please, appease, and keep the peace. You are able to understand others and make a great conversationalist. You aim for fairness in your dealings with others. You have a true appreciation for the arts, and strive to achieve balance and harmony in your social relationships, your writing and speech, and your personal environment. You might do business in the areas of art, design, relationships, counseling, or beauty.Some Famous People with Mercury Sextile Venus: Walt Disney, Sylvia Plath, George Sand, Alison Moyet, Peter O’Toole, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Jerry Lewis.

Mercury

Mercury

Mercury Square Saturn

Your thinking may be concentrated, obstructed, morose or limited today. Saturn has a way of throwing cold water and constraints on things. Depression is possible, but it will pass, so try to stay optimistic. There may be delays in mail or letters or phone calls. A negative mental outlook along with an unwillingness to accept the ideas of others is characteristic of this aspect. Don't be worried over a lack of inspiration. It won't last long. People will challenge your ideas.Saturn connected to a personal planet in hard aspect has a censoring effect on the planet involved. With Mercury in hard aspect to Saturn, whatever the person says and writes is self-censored to some degree. It’s hard for these people to pour out their emotions, no matter how emotional or needy they feel on the inside. This is because they are always aware of what others might think of them with what they say. They are not necessarily deliberate talkers or thinkers. In other words, they don’t always pick and choose their words carefully or speak slowly. However, they are careful with what they reveal to others. They make plenty of disclaimers, and often come across as negative or sarcastic without intending to. These are people who review conversations they’ve had with others, and who often kick themselves for saying something they didn’t intend to, or for not saying something witty. Saturn tends to have a hobbling effect, and when it’s attached to the planet of communication in hard aspect, there can be some feelings of insecurity about how we speak and communicate in general. These people tend to worry about what they’ve said and how they could have said it better. Some older astrology texts suggest that there can be learning disorders or “slowness” with this aspect, but this is rarely the case. In fact, many people with this aspect are very strong academically. The flow of their communication is blocked in some manner, however, and this is due to an automatic “self-censoring” tendency. Self-consciousness and hypersensitivity is experienced with regards to their intelligence and ability to get ideas across to others, especially in youth. These people need plenty of positive feedback from others in order to feel more confident and less “blocked”.If you have this aspect in your chart, recognize that you are most likely harder on yourself about how you communicate than others are. Ask people close to you for an objective point of view. Chances are, they find you to be astute, intelligent, and an effective speaker or writer. We often tell our kids “don’t worry about what others think”, but telling this to a person with a hard Saturn aspects is not enough, nor is it realistic. They will worry. Instead, I have found that the best way to handle difficult Saturn aspects is to get objective feedback from others! Mercury-Saturn people don’t accept compliments whole-heartedly, yet they crave them and need them. Others around them tend to stop complimenting them, feeling that they either don’t need compliments or don’t want to hear them. Nothing can be further than the truth!Mercury opposition Saturn Your intellectual capabilities are well developed, and you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. You are likely to possess academic “smarts” and writing ability. In some ways you are a loner. This is likely because your greatest feelings of security arise from a job well done. Be sure to exercise caution in entering into contracts. Don’t overlook the important details that can boomerang against you later. It may be best to hire an attorney or other advisor to help you with these tasks. You might find that you are the victim of “red tape”, mix-ups, and communication problems more than most.You sometimes come across as more stern or harsh than you actually are! There is likely to be a negative or sarcastic style to your speech that you may not always be aware of, but that others pick up quickly. You will find that others often misunderstand your intentions rather easily, or that you misrepresent yourself unwittingly. You often kick yourself for saying (or, more often, not saying) something after a conversation is over. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Sheena Easton, Kevin Kline; Oppositions – Steven Seagal, Kurt Russell, Tiger Woods, Robert Redford, Patrick Duffy.

Mercury Sextile Pluto

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

Venus Trine Pluto

Your emotions are deep and powerful. As they say, still waters run deep. Today might be a good day to redecorate or make other changes to your home with the hope of bringing greater beauty and harmony into your life. It's a good time to find new uses for old or discarded items which no longer serve your purposes. Emotional self-regeneration is possible with these energies.

Mars

Mars

Mars Opposite Uranus

You may feel like rebelling against the people you are around today. There is a certain rashness with you and you may feel tempted to let loose in any kind of manner. This impulsiveness, this rashness may lead to accidents and hurt relationships. You need your freedom and others probably need theirs. So hang loose and give people some space. Change at any cost may be what you're feeling today, but carefully consider the costs before you leap into action. The costs may be too high. Look before you leap is the keyword of the day.

When you want something, you want it NOW, and you act decisively, impulsively, sometimes hastily and prematurely.

You are fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others.

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.
