Moon Is In Libra

Greetings, celestial voyagers! I trust this message from the cosmos finds you in good spirits and preferably not in a parallel universe, where socks mysteriously disappear from the dryer. Ah, the Moon is in Libra! Imagine the Moon, all 7.35 x 10^22 kg of it, balancing delicately on the scales of justice like it's auditioning for the lead role in an interstellar ballet. Now, the Moon isn't known for her ballet skills, but she is known for stirring up emotions, so brace yourself for a cosmic cha-cha of feelings. Libra, the diplomat of the zodiac, is all about balance, harmony, and fairness. Picture a cosmic courtroom with the Moon as the judge, dressed in a robe made of stardust, passionately arguing the case of "Emotion vs. Logic." The jury? That's us, folks. Now, with the Moon 398,527.178058251 km away (I mean, who's counting, right?), it might feel like your emotional Wi-Fi signal is a bit weak. But fear not, fellow star travelers! This is simply an opportunity to rebalance those emotional checkbooks. Perhaps you've been feeling like a Vulcan recently, all logic and no emotion? Well, under the Libran Moon's influence, prepare for an emotional awakening that would make Mr. Spock raise an eyebrow. On the other hand, if your emotions have been running wilder than a Dalek at a disco, then it's time to bring some logical order back into your life. So, fellow Earthlings, while the Moon pirouettes in Libra, remember to keep your emotions and logic in balance. Just like a TARDIS, there's more inside you than what appears on the outside. But bear in mind, too much balance can be... well, boring. And who wants to be bored when there are infinite galaxies to explore? Until next time, remember - we're all just stardust navigating this giant cosmic dance floor. So, keep your balance, remain curious, and above all, don't blink... especially if you see any stone angels.

Mercury in Scorpio: "I'll Be Back...With Answers!"

Listen up, gentle stargazers! Mercury is doing the tango with Scorpio, and it's about to turn into a cosmic episode of CSI. You see, Scorpio is that nosy neighbor with night-vision goggles and an obsession for mystery novels. And Mercury? Well, it's channeling its inner Schwarzenegger, promising to 'be back' with answers, no matter how dark or deep it has to dig.

Imagine Mercury donning a trench coat and fedora, shining a flashlight into the shadowy corners of your psyche. It's all very film noir, but with more starlight. This cosmic collaboration pushes us to confront our fears and desires, and even those 'that’s none of your beeswax' topics suddenly seem worth discussing. Yes, it's the perfect time to bond over shared secrets, the universe's version of Truth or Dare!

But beware, my celestial sleuths! Mercury in Scorpio might turn you into a cosmic conspiracy theorist, suspecting secret agendas in every corner. But remember, not everyone is out to get you. If you start interrogating your barista about why they really put an extra shot in your latte, you might end up drinking alone. Discretion – and decaf – could be the better part of valor here.

Yet, this planetary combo isn't all X-Files and paranoia. It's about decluttering your mental attic, tossing out ideas that are as useful as a chocolate teapot, making room for insights that truly serve you. So yes, while this celestial event may feel like a relentless quest for truth, it's really a journey towards deeper intimacy – with others and yourself. Because when you're brave enough to ask hard questions, you're likely to find answers that help you grow. So, in the immortal words of our favorite cyborg: "Hasta la vista, baby!"

Venus

Venus is in Libra

Venus is prograde at 02 Lib 02' 27", moving at 1.1 degrees per day, and is 123260571km away and receding.

Venus Is In Libra

Space Alert: Venus Has Swiped Right on Libra!

Alright, my celestial stargazers, get your telescopes ready because Venus has just matched with Libra in the grand cosmic dating app! Yes, you've heard it right. Love is floating around in the ether like a Wi-Fi signal with no password. Our lovely planet Venus, the cosmic queen of all things smoochy-woochy, has entered the harmonious and oh-so-chic constellation of Libra, turning the universe into a giant rom-com.

Now, what does this mean for us earthlings? Well, imagine if your relationships were a boat. With Venus in Libra, we're all about smooth sailing. No stormy seas, no Titanic-esque drama - just gentle waves and maybe some pleasant bird song (I'm pushing the boat analogy, aren't I?). It's a time when even those who usually thrive on a bit of relational argy-bargy might find themselves craving peace, harmony, and perhaps a few rounds of "Kumbaya."

Remember though, love isn't a game of tug-of-war during Venus in Libra. It's more like a tandem bike ride. You both pedal together, or you both fall into a bush. This transit will illuminate any imbalances in your relationships like a disco ball at a goth party. Are you giving 100% while your partner's still figuring out how to switch gears? Well, it’s time to adjust the saddle, my friends. But fear not! Venus in Libra also comes with a free upgrade in diplomacy skills, so you can address these issues like a pro UN negotiator.

But hey, Venus and Libra aren't just about love and peace; they're the connoisseurs of style, beauty, and all things aesthetically pleasing. It's the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe, redecorate your space, or maybe just put a fancy hat on your cat. Trust me, even your feline friend will appreciate the change in aesthetics.

So let's raise our glasses (or telescopes) to Venus in Libra! Remember to keep things light, love with all your heart, and above all, strive for peace. After all, we're riding through this cosmic journey together. Peace out, star children!

Mars In Scorpio: Cosmic Boot Camp

All right, star gazers. Grab your galactic hiking boots because Mars, our cosmic drill sergeant, has just sauntered into the mysterious terrain of Scorpio. Now, you might be thinking, "What does this mean for me?" Well, buckle up your asteroid belts, because we're about to dive headfirst into the cosmos, Scully style!

As a celestial motivator, Mars in Scorpio is like that friend who encourages you to do a triathlon when you can barely walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. It's all about ambition, drive, and an intense refusal to take "no" for an answer. Feeling like a couch potato? Not on Mars in Scorpio's watch! This planetary alignment is here to give your metaphorical butt a cosmic kickstart.

Now, don't get me wrong, Mars in Scorpio is not all sweat and pushups. It's also about inner exploration, digging deep into the hidden recesses of your psyche, and unearthing your deepest desires and fears. It's like therapy, but with a side order of interstellar intensity.

But be warned, my cosmic comrades. Like a poorly timed warp jump, Mars in Scorpio could lead to some explosive situations. This planetary pairing is notorious for its fiery temper and relentless aggression. So keep your phasers set to 'stun' and try not to start any intergalactic wars, okay?

The silver lining here? This transit is a golden opportunity to channel your inner Jedi and transform that raw, untamed energy into something positive. So whether you're building a model of the Andromeda galaxy or solving quantum physics equations for fun, remember to harness that Martian intensity for good.

All in all, Mars in Scorpio might feel like you've signed up for a spiritual boot camp. But remember, every drill sergeant has a soft side. So, embrace the challenge, rise above the power struggles and remember - in the immortal words of Carl Sagan, "We're all star stuff." Now, go out there and shine!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 09 Tau 33' 20", moving backwards at 0.13 degrees per day, and is 597388385km away and receding.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

The Big Bull Meets The Bigger Planet

Alright folks, gather round, gather round! It's time for our cosmic update! So, Jupiter, the planet that's as gassy as your Uncle Bob after a bean burrito, is hanging out in Taurus, the zodiac's equivalent of a stubborn, yet lovable, bulldog.

Now, you know Jupiter, right? The big one. The one that makes us humans look like a speck of cosmic dust. This giant planet is all about wisdom and deep thoughts. Kinda like that friend who gets philosophical after two beers. And Taurus? Well, it's as chilled as a cucumber in a hipster's gin and tonic. When these two get together, they remind us that we don't need to climb the highest mountain or dive into the deepest sea to find wisdom. Nope, it's right there within us, probably hiding behind the grocery list that you've been meaning to get to.

And here's the fun part: with Jupiter in Taurus, it's like having your own personal cheerleader, urging you to tick off those life goals. You know, the ones that have been sitting on your New Year’s resolution list since 2005. It's time to bring out your inner nerd, make a plan, and start working on it. And remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour. The same goes for you, my friend.

Now, let's talk about money, honey. Jupiter is like Santa Claus, always bringing gifts and good fortune. Taurus, on the other hand, loves the good life. So, when these two shake hands, it could mean a jackpot for some. But remember, it ain't all about the Benjamins. Balance is key. Don't go spending your life savings on that golden toilet seat just yet.

Oh, and one last thing: Taurus loves indulgence. And with Jupiter in the mix, you might find yourself confusing needs with wants. So, practice a bit of self-control during this transit. Remember, just because you can eat the entire pizza, doesn't mean you should.

So, sit back, relax, and let the cosmic vibes guide you. After all, we're just tiny beings on a floating rock in space. Happy stargazing!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 00 Pis 32' 40", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1418569869km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Beam Me Up, Saturn!

Alright folks, buckle up, because the cosmic boss, Saturn, has just clocked in to Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking, "But astrologer dude, Saturn's like 1.4 billion kilometers away, and it's moving prograde!" Yes, my astute space cadets, but don't let the distance or direction fool you. Just because Saturn is farther away than your local pizza delivery joint doesn't mean it can't stir up some major vibes. Time to embrace your inner Jedi because the force is strong with this one.

When Saturn, the managerial titan of the cosmos, dives into the dreamy waters of Pisces, it's like hiring a life coach who also moonlights as a spiritual guru. What does this mean for you? It's time to stop daydreaming about that novel you've been meaning to write or that startup you've been planning to launch. Instead, grab a notepad, take a deep breath, and prepare for some cosmic brainstorming. Let's turn those dreams into reality, shall we?

Now, let me be clear, Saturn in Pisces isn't a cakewalk through the Milky Way. It's more like going through a cosmic audit. And yes, Saturn might come off as that annoying roommate who keeps questioning your late-night snack habits. But remember, sometimes tough love is exactly what we need to clean up our act and tune into our true potential.

And hey, with all this high-octane cosmic energy buzzing around, don't be surprised if you find it hard to catch some Z's. This transit is your excuse to try out all those self-care practices you've been bookmarking on Pinterest. Meditate, take a moonlit walk, practice some deep breathing, or take a power nap (with a dream journal on standby, of course!). But most importantly, remember to get a full night's sleep and maybe even hit the hay a bit early. After all, even star gazers need their beauty sleep.

So, space cadets, as we traverse this Saturn in Pisces transit, let's make the most of the cosmic wisdom it has to offer. And remember, the stars may be billions of kilometers away, but their influence is closer than you think!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 21 Tau 12' 22", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 2787473820km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Hello Space Cadets! It's time for another cosmic update from your favorite stargazing, kaleidoscope-eyed hippie astrologer. Buckle up, because we're taking an interstellar road trip to the icy blue planet with a funny name - Uranus. And guess where it's parked for a sleepover? That's right, Taurus! Now, I know what you're thinking. "But, Astro-Nerd, my Taurus soul craves calm and stability!" Well, my dear Bull, brace yourself, because Uranus is the party crasher of the solar system. This planet is all about shaking things up, and it doesn't care if it spills the cosmic punch bowl. Now, Taurus is the Bill Gates of the Zodiac, always counting pennies and investing in celestial Bitcoin. But Uranus might just flip that piggy bank upside down. We might see some crazy changes in how we handle our dough. Heck, we might even start trading in alien credits or star-dust shares. I mean, who wouldn't want to buy a slice of the Milky Way? On a personal level, Uranus is like that friend who convinces you to sell all your stuff and live in a van. It's urging us to rethink our relationship with money and material possessions. Is that 1000th Funko Pop really bringing you joy, or is it just collecting dust? Are those student loans chaining you to a job you hate, when you'd rather be chasing your dreams of becoming a professional Quidditch player? Resisting Uranus's whirlwind tour through Taurus is like trying to stop a supernova with a water gun - futile and likely to leave you slightly singed. So, lean into the chaos, my friends. By the end of this cosmic rollercoaster, we might find ourselves in a much better place. Maybe a place with less stuff, more freedom, and a whole lot of fascinating stories to tell. Remember, space cadets, change is the only constant in this vast universe. So, let's hitch a ride on Uranus (giggles) and see where it takes us! Stay curious, stay groovy, and always keep your eyes on the stars.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 04' 45", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4382037071km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Hey there, interstellar traveler! Put on your space suit because we're about to embark on a cosmic journey. Our destination? Neptune in Pisces. And get this, it’s about 4381982540.890103340km away – plug that into your GPS! Now, I know what you're thinking: "What is Neptune doing in Pisces and why should I care?" Well, dear stargazer, this celestial meetup is like the universe’s version of an epic superhero team-up. Imagine if Spiderman's spidey senses merged with Batman's detective skills. Cool right? But instead of fighting crime, they're here to help us see beyond our differences, appreciate unity, and essentially give pettiness a swift kick in the asteroids. Picture this: Neptune, the planet named after the Roman god of the sea, takes a sabbatical in the dreamy realm of Pisces (who, by the way, is also a water sign – coincidence? I think not). This astrological alliance is the cosmic equivalent of having your third eye steam-cleaned. It's like wearing X-ray glasses that reveal the absurdity of squabbling over who ate the last donut when there's a whole cosmic bakery out there. Amidst its retrograde rollercoaster ride, Neptune in Pisces is basically whispering (or rather, telepathically communicating) to each of us: "You've got something special, share it!" It's time to dust off those dreams, ideas, and talents you've been hoarding like episodes of Star Trek and beam them out into the universe. Want to learn about crystals? Go for it. Feel like building a shrine to your favorite sci-fi author in your living room? Why not? The energy of Neptune in Pisces not only supports these ventures but gives them a cosmic thumbs up. So, my fellow earthlings, in the immortal words of Spock: "Live long and prosper." Use this time to embrace your unique gifts, contribute to our collective progress, and remember – just like Dave Bowman in 2001: A Space Odyssey – the universe has got your back. Just, you know, try not to get sucked into any mysterious monoliths along the way.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 28 Cap 06' 47", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5266614487km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Pluto's Cosmic Tour: Capricorn Edition

Alright, star gazers, brace yourselves! Our misunderstood misfit of the solar system, Pluto, has decided to set up camp in Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Hang on, Pluto's a planet, right? It can't just crash on Capricorn's couch!" Well, in the cosmic game of musical chairs, it can - and it has! Now, let's get something straight. Pluto may be 3.272 billion miles away (give or take a few feet, I'm not out there with a tape measure), but its impact is as real as your Aunt Mabel's fruitcake at Christmas. So let's dive in! Pluto and Capricorn are like two peas in a pod. Both are all about ambition, power, and getting things done - they're basically the cosmic equivalent of those overachievers you knew in high school. But while they're busy making moves on the celestial chessboard, they tend to forget that other people have opinions too. So if you find yourself dismissing other's viewpoints faster than the speed of light, just remember - even an astrophysicist listens to their mom every once in a while. But here's where things get interesting. Pluto isn't just about power - it's also about transformation, and not the kind you get from a self-help book. No, this is the real deal. The kind of change that comes when you finally decide to clean out your garage and find your old physics textbooks (E=mc^2 anyone?). So if you're feeling the urge to shed some of what's been holding you back, go for it! Just remember - some destruction is necessary for creation. So whether you're a Capricorn, a die-hard Pluto fan, or just someone trying to navigate this cosmic dance we call life, keep this in mind. Life might be a bit like Schroedinger's cat right now - uncertain and a tad confusing. But with Pluto in Capricorn, it's time to open the box and face that cat. Besides, even if it's a bit hissy, at least you'll know! Stay stargazing, my friends. And remember - in space, no one can hear you scream... unless it's about Pluto, then we're all ears.

Current Planetary Positions

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

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 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 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

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.

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. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you find it difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. You have a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not your strong point! You are often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when you are pursuing a desired goal. You may have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do things in your own style and at your own pace.#Your life is peppered with dangerous intersections where you may be physically injured. These very events, however, form the substance of your spiritual path. It takes courage to follow this independent path, and effort to maintain strong relationships as you do so.

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.
