Greetings, star gazers and cosmic wanderers! The Moon, our ever faithful lunar companion, currently parked in the high-speed HOV lane of Aquarius, is roughly 370,563.279602211km away. Now, I'm no Einstein, but that's a fair old distance for a midnight snack run, don't you think? Ah, Aquarius: the water bearer, the stargazer, the rebel of the zodiac. Not to be confused with the Age of Aquarius, which is not happening right now, folks. Trust me. I’ve checked. Twice. Fun fact: Moon in Aquarius is like your quirky aunt who insists on wearing neon socks with sandals, brings tofu to a barbecue, and has an unhealthy obsession with alien conspiracy theories. She's a little out there, but boy, does she know how to liven up a family gathering! Under this cosmic influence, expect a surge of innovative ideas and a sudden urge to join a drum circle. Don't fight it. Embrace your inner weirdo. Dance like nobody's watching, even if you dance like a malfunctioning robot. But be warned, my celestial friends, the moon is a fickle mistress. In the next 24 hours, she'll pack up her lunar suitcase and sashay over to Pisces. And we all know what that means! Emotional tsunami alert! Keep the tissues handy and maybe invest in a waterproof keyboard. So, whether you're wrestling with quantum physics or trying to figure out why your cat insists on knocking everything off the kitchen counter at 3 AM, remember: the universe doesn't make mistakes. It just has an odd sense of humor. Stay weird, my friends. The stars wouldn't have it any other way.
Mercury
Mercury is in Sagittarius
Mercury is prograde at 14 Sag 47' 05", moving at 1.44 degrees per day, and is 190552803km away and approaching.
Mercury Is In Sagittarius
Greetings, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! Let's dive into the celestial forecast, shall we? Mercury, our planetary postman, has decided to take a vacation in the fiery sign of Sagittarius. If you're wondering, that puts it about 190,656,833.599645525km away from us. But don't worry, it's not ghosting us, it's just going prograde. And I promise you, this is much more exciting than any episode of "Star Trek" reruns. Now, Mercury is the planet that's all about the details. It's like that friend who remembers everyone's birthdays, knows all the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, and can explain quantum physics while making pancakes. On the other hand, Sagittarius is like that cool uncle who never stays in one place for long, always looking for the next big adventure, and often forgets where he left his car keys. So, when Mercury is vacationing in Sagittarius, imagine it's like your meticulous friend trying to organize your cool uncle's messy garage. There might be some chaos, but trust me, the results could be amazing. This period is like a cosmic espresso shot, energizing our words, messages, and debates with a dose of Sagittarian confidence and enthusiasm. But remember, folks, just because you’re suddenly an expert on alien conspiracies doesn’t mean everyone around you is ready for that truth bomb. We need to press pause and think before we speak, or else we might find ourselves in some awkward situations. And let's face it, nobody likes the taste of foot-in-mouth. Sagittarius is represented by the Archer, and with Mercury’s presence, you might feel like you've got a quiver full of opportunity arrows. This is a fantastic time to think about exploring new frontiers, whether that's taking a trip to a place you've never been, learning a new skill, or starting a new job. So saddle up, space cowboys and cowgirls! It's time to ride the cosmic waves of Mercury in Sagittarius. Just remember, amidst all this excitement and exploration, make sure you don't lose your car keys... or your spaceship.
Venus
Venus is in Libra
Venus is prograde at 13 Lib 12' 34", moving at 1.13 degrees per day, and is 134250907km away and receding.
Venus Is In Libra
Well, star gazers, buckle up your Millennium Falcons because Venus is in Libra and it's 134,199,546.038483590km away! (Don't worry, I checked the calculations twice. My calculator's smoking, but it's worth it.) Now, you've probably heard that this means love is in the air, right? Well, you're not wrong. But let me tell you, it's not all about writing love letters and picking out matching outfits with your Ewok. When Venus saunters into the stylish parlour of Libra, relationships become as light as a feather - or a floating droid, if you prefer. We're talking more peace treaties, less lightsaber duels. We're all about maintaining harmony here, so expect a certain smooth-talker to sweep issues under the Wookiee rug rather than face them head on. What's that, you say? Your relationship's more like a one-sided game of Dejarik? Well, with Venus in Libra, those imbalances stick out like a Stormtrooper at a Jedi council meeting. But fear not! This transit also comes with a 'cooperation boost' that could make even the grumpiest Hutt collaborate to find a way forward. But wait, there's more! Both Venus and Libra are totally into aesthetics, so don't be surprised if you feel the urge to add a bit of rebel chic to your wardrobe or spruce up your spaceship's interior decor. Trust me, a few well-placed throw pillows can do wonders for your space cruiser's ambiance. Venus in Libra isn't just a transit, it's an invitation to love wholeheartedly. To paraphrase a certain princess, "Help me, Venus in Libra, you're my only hope" for peaceful relationships and stylish living. So, go forth, cooperate, strive for peace, and live lightly. And remember, may the Venus in Libra be with you!
Mars

Mars Is In Scorpio
Greetings, celestial seekers! So, Mars decided to take a vacation in Scorpio, didn't it? And boy, is it making itself at home! You know, Mars in Scorpio is a bit like that eccentric uncle who shows up at family gatherings and starts doing magic tricks with the tablecloth. Unpredictable? Yes. Entertaining? Absolutely. Likely to cause a minor disaster? Oh, you bet. Our fiery friend Mars isn't about playing nice or sharing its toys in this scenario. It's more like, "My way or the Milky Way!" During this cosmic tango, we're all feeling a bit like superheroes. The catch? Our kryptonite is compromise. If anyone tries to control us now, well, let's just say they might end up with a metaphorical black hole on their hands. Our determination to change our lives with nothing but brute willpower is currently orbiting somewhere around Pluto. We're not afraid to delve into the dark side of the moon (aka our psyche), because that's where Mars in Scorpio thrives. It's like a cosmic version of therapy, only without the hefty bills. Now, there's a flipside to Mars' joyride in Scorpio. The downside is that we might express ourselves with the subtlety of a supernova. This can lead to extended conflicts, strained relationships, and a general atmosphere that feels a bit like a Star Wars bar scene. The key here, my stargazing friends, is to choose our battles wisely. Not every wall needs to be blasted through like we're auditioning for a space-themed action movie. Use this energy to tackle projects that help channel your inner rocket fuel into something positive. Remember, Mars in Scorpio is like a spiritual boot camp. It helps us develop our personal power. But, we need to rise above the shadows, power struggles, bitterness, and an inability to forgive. It's a chance to master these parts of ourselves using courage, discipline, and willpower. So, buckle up, space cadets! It's going to be an interesting ride!

Jupiter in Taurus: The Cosmic Bull Riding Championship
Alright, stargazers, time to dust off your celestial cowboy boots because Jupiter, the big guy of wisdom and deep thoughts, has parked its gargantuan girth in the sign of Taurus. Now, if you're wondering what this cosmic bull riding championship means for you, here's the skinny.
Think of Jupiter as your favorite college professor who always pushed you to go beyond rote memorization and actually understand stuff (weird, right?). And Taurus? Well, it’s like that old armchair in your granddad's study - stubborn, immovable, and full of dusty wisdom. When these two tango, they remind us that the answers aren't hidden in some far-off nebula but have been chilling inside us all along. Just like that last slice of pizza you stashed behind the kale in your fridge. It's always been there, waiting patiently for you to find it again.
Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic power-up, charging you up to knock out those life goals like they're level one Space Invaders. Under this transit, you've got Jupiter's ambition and Taurus's stubbornness on your side. So, buckle up, trust the process, and get ready to level up your life game.
Now, let's talk money. No, I'm not about to sell you a timeshare on Mars, but rather point out the fact that Jupiter is the planet of good luck and fortune, while Taurus is the zodiac's Warren Buffet. Put 'em together, and you've got a recipe for financial growth that would make Wall Street green with envy.
But wait, there's more! Taurus is also the zodiac's hedonist extraordinaire, savoring the finer things in life like a sommelier sniffs out a good Merlot. With Jupiter, the planet of expansion, in the mix, you might find yourself wanting to spend more on those limited edition Star Trek figurines or that vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, taste-free cake from the hipster bakery down the street. Just remember, fellow cosmic adventurers, while it's all fun and games to treat yourself, don't forget to keep your impulses in check during this transit.
So, grab your telescope and saddle up for this exciting ride with Jupiter in Taurus. And remember, the ability

Saturn's Saunter Through Pisces: A Galactic Guide
Well, folks, it seems Saturn has meandered its way into Pisces, a cosmic event that I like to think of as the universe's way of saying, "Hey, let's get introspective!" Now, I know what you're thinking: "Saturn? In Pisces? That's about as compatible as Cylons and humans." But bear with me here, because this could be your golden ticket to finally writing that book you've been daydreaming about, or launching that artisanal, vegan, gluten-free cupcake business you've been yammering on about at every family gathering.
See, Saturn is like your strict, but fair, high school science teacher. The one who made you dissect a frog, but also taught you how to balance a chemical equation. And Pisces? Well, Pisces is like the day you spent in class watching Bill Nye instead of doing work. Together, they're going to give you a stern lesson in making dreams a reality. It's time to stop doodling in margins and start making real plans. But don't worry, you won't have to dig through any frog guts with this one.
However, I would be remiss if I didn’t warn you - it's not all stardust and spaceships when Saturn is in Pisces. Saturn is going to question your dreams, prod at them, maybe even make them squirm a bit under the microscope. If you're not ready, you might feel like a Cylon has invaded your personal space. But hey, even Admiral Adama had to negotiate with the Cylons from time to time, right? So, steel yourself and prepare for some constructive criticism from our planetary father figure. Trust me, he's just trying to help.
And here's a scientific fact for you: Pisces is connected with sleep and dreams, so with Saturn’s visit, you might find yourself tossing and turning more than usual. But don't panic! Instead, see it as an opportunity to cultivate your inner zen. Meditate, take a stroll in the park, practice your deep breathing, or even take a nap (just make sure you have that dream journal handy!). It's like your own personal retreat into the cosmos. So, grab your telescope, channel your inner Adama, and get ready for a cosmic journey of self-discovery.

Uranus in Taurus: A Bull Ride Like No Other
Look, I get it. Taurus is the astrological equivalent of that one friend who likes to have their evenings planned down to the last detail, including bathroom breaks (no judgement if that's you). And then, out of nowhere, Uranus saunters in, like a cosmic Kramer from Seinfeld, and turns the whole party upside down. Picture Taurus, comfortably snuggled on its plush couch, suddenly launched into a whirlwind of unpredictability. Sounds like a sitcom episode, right? Well, welcome to your life for the next seven years!
In an alternative universe where money grows on trees, Taurus would be the premier gardener. But alas, we're stuck here, where the only thing growing is our credit card bill. With Uranus in Taurus, we're looking at some serious changes in our financial landscape. Imagine if Elon Musk suddenly decided that potatoes are the new Bitcoin. That's the sort of revolution we're talking about. Banks might turn into virtual reality chat rooms and your stocks could be replaced by shares in intergalactic real estate. It's like a sci-fi movie, but you don't get popcorn.
On the home front, Uranus in Taurus is trying to help us escape the 'Monopoly Man' lifestyle. It's saying, "Hey, you don't have to be shackled by debt, rent, or the insidious interest on your credit card!" It's like a hippie protest against materialism, but with more cosmic energy and less patchouli. The key here is to embrace the change, not resist it. It's like trying to stop a spaceship with a roadblock - utterly useless and a little bit embarrassing.
So buckle up, my celestial friends, because this Uranian roller coaster isn't slowing down. But hey, at the end of the ride, we could all find ourselves in a better place. Even if that place feels like you've been teleported to a different dimension, at least it's got a great view!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is retrograde at 24 Pis 57' 46", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4403983310km away and receding.
Neptune Is In Pisces
Alright, star gazers, buckle up because Neptune has parked its celestial caboose in Pisces, and let me tell you, this is like mixing peanut butter with jelly, or better yet, Star Trek with Star Wars. It's a cosmic combo that's guaranteed to stir up some feels. Now, if you're not into the whole astronomy thing, let me bring it down to Earth for you. Neptune is currently about 4,403,922,325.414967537km away. Yes, I know, it sounds like a number only Sheldon Cooper could love, but bear with me. Kepler's laws are funny that way. Being the groovy planet of dreams and spirituality, when Neptune goes retrograde in the emotionally charged sign of Pisces, well, it's less like a planet in motion and more like a giant disco ball hanging in the universe, scattering light on all our inner contradictions. In G’Kar style, imagine if you will, suddenly realizing that all those squabbles about who used the last of the coffee or why your coworker insists on using comic sans in their emails, are so small compared to the grandeur of the cosmos. Picture the golden glow of understanding as you realize we're all just stardust trying to shine. During this transit, each of us are called to dig deep and uncover our unique gifts, like a cosmic treasure hunt. What can you contribute to the collective progress? Perhaps you have untapped emotional intelligence, or maybe you're the next Picasso? Now's the time to explore these possibilities. Feeling spiritually curious? This is the perfect time to download that meditation app you've been eyeing, or create a sacred nook at home for all your crystals and sage sticks. (And let's be honest, who doesn't love a good nook?) Remember, space cadets, Neptune in Pisces is like your personal celestial cheerleader, urging you to share your spiritual findings with the world, and promising cosmic support in the process. So, get out there and let your inner light shine!
Pluto
Pluto is in Capricorn
Pluto is prograde at 28 Cap 16' 47", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5291005018km away and receding.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Well, Cosmic Comrades, buckle up your starship seat belts because we're about to take a wild ride through the cosmos. Pluto, that tiny but mighty dwarf planet (that will always be a full-fledged planet in our hearts - right, fellow nerds?), has taken up residence in the no-nonsense, goal-oriented sign of Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Isn't Capricorn that super serious, spreadsheet-loving, always-has-a-plan 'adult' of the zodiac?" And you're not wrong. But hang on to your telescopes, because when these two powerhouse planets align, it's like that moment in Battlestar Galactica when Number Six started whispering sweet nothings into Gaius Baltar's ear. You know, before all the destruction and chaos. When Pluto and Capricorn join forces, we see a cosmic combo that's all about ambition, power, and success. Like a hyperdrive powered by determination, you might find yourself propelled to achieve like never before. But remember, folks, with great power comes great... well, potential to become an intergalactic tyrant. Don't let the intoxicating pull of power warp your moral compass. Yes, Capricorn might have the focus of a Vulcan playing 3D chess, but that doesn't mean we have to toss our compassion for others out the spaceship window. Pluto, our favorite misfit planet, is all about transformation. It's urging us to jettison the metaphorical dead weight we've been carrying around. You know, those pesky negative habits holding us back from becoming the Jedi Master we're meant to be. But remember, this isn't just about destruction; it's about constructive destruction. So, think carefully about what you're trashing before you accidentally toss out your lightsaber with the garbage. So, my star-traveling friends, as we journey through this Pluto in Capricorn transit, let's remember the ultimate sci-fi lesson: No matter where we are in the universe, it's our choices that define us. So, let's make them count. And may the force...er, I mean, may the stars be with you!Current Planetary Aspects

The Sun
Sun Square Moon
You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to a minimum. Try to understand others' points of view before expressing your own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.What people who were born with Sun square Moon in their natal charts want and what they need are in conflict. The Sun square Moon aspect is similar to the Sun opposition Moon aspect in this sense, but there are very notable differences. Whereas the struggle between wants and needs is mostly played out on the inside and through significant relationships with Sun opposition Moon people, Sun square Moon people tend to confront obstacles that come from the outside. In truth, the struggle is within, as it is a case of being “one’s own worst enemy”. There can be a tendency to attract challenging situations into the life as an unconscious attempt to recreate the tension of early childhood. As well, specific habits and attitudes can hamper their progress in life.These people generally have a need to achieve and accomplish something important, and they act out their internal struggle along the way. For whatever reason, these people didn’t feel needed or accepted. The clash between their parents or parent figures, if indeed there was one, made them feel unaccepted for who they were, and there can be a very real drive to prove themselves to the world (and/or to the parents). The parents may not have simply been opposite personalities, as is the case with Sun opposition Moon. It is more likely that their relationship was a continual struggle. Sun square Moon individuals internalized the tension in the cosmic air that they were born into, and felt out of place as a result. In some cases, they literally felt unwanted by one or both parents. Even if the parents didn’t clash, the early life was likely to have been over-stimulating and tense, causing the child to feel insecure.These people experience a struggle between their need for nurture and their need for independence. When they get the autonomy that they seem to crave, they feel unsupported by others. When they receive the support they crave, they feel smothered. This internal clash is most apparent in the relationships they form, especially in the first half of their lives when they may not be aware of these patterns. Confrontations and challenges are frequent–not just with romantic partners, but also on the job, with friends, and so forth. However, these people have a lot of drive and spunk. They are resilient creatures who have faced conflict and who have survived it. Although they face a struggle with fluctuating energy, they are motivated to accomplish something. Ideally, they learn through experience to accomplish something for themselves rather than to prove their worth to others.Some Famous People with Sun Square Moon: Geena Davis, Michael Douglas, Ricky Martin.People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or trine, and early relationships in particular can be challenging until the stressful aspects are recognized as an inner tension.A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge – so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun square Moon suggests an internal “war” between two equally powerful desires: the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.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 Square Saturn
You may become involved in conflicts between your need for self-expression and your duties to others. The key is to find a balance. You may tend to be selfish today and many problems can be alleviated by thinking of others first. A feeling of loneliness may come upon you today, but it's probably just that, a feeling. It's not the true state of things. Do your duty, meet your obligations, then you have every right to start thinking of yourself.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Saturn face a fair number of challenges in their lives, especially in the first half of life, in which their attempts to express their will are thwarted. There can be a persistent feeling that they don’t get what they want more often than other people around them. They can feel unlucky. Attempts to control their environment, and sometimes others, may be frequent.These people fear their own feelings of inadequacy! They want to be considered accomplished and important people, and when they face obstacles, they don’t always want to believe that they are their own worst enemy. They long to be considered important in the eyes of the world, yet they harbor fear of success at the same time. They take failures and minor setbacks to heart, and some practically beat themselves up over them. Self-awareness to the point of real self-consciousness is characteristic of Sun-Saturn challenging aspects. The truth is, nobody holds a microscope over them, except for themselves. A little setback or a faux pas needn’t be analyzed to death. Fingers needn’t be pointed. No, they didn’t make a spectacle of themselves when they made a mistake. They need to stop worrying about always being right, or appearing suave and accomplished. When they ease the pressure they put on themselves, they find that they don’t face as many brick walls. It is very much about what they feel they deserve. Deep down inside, if they let themselves truly believe that they deserve happiness and peace of mind, they will find it.When Saturn is closely connected to a personal planet, there is usually an effect of censoring going on with whatever is ruled by the planet it joins by aspect. For example, with the Moon, which rules emotions, the natives feel the need to censor their emotions and feelings, scanning them for what is thought to be frivolous. With Saturn and the Sun, there is much self-censoring going on. “I shouldn’t..” is a common censoring mechanism with these people. They feel they shouldn’t want too much. When they express egotism of any form, some part of them feels guilty. As the Sun rules our conscious mind, it does enough censoring on its own. It is the “adult” within us. Saturn, on the other hand, is more like the “parent” within us. We need parents to guide us when we are children, and to some degree as adults, but for the most part, we don’t need to be censored indefinitely–something that seems to be the case with Saturn-Sun hard aspects, except that the censoring and parenting is coming from within.Ideally, these people eventually learn that the standards they set for themselves are too high, and that may be the reason they seem to hit brick walls. They recognize that many of the restrictions they face in life are often self-created, born of a defeatist attitude. They should be aware of the tendency to choose the hardest paths to travel and/or to deny themselves some of life’s pleasures. Working on recognizing and managing these tendencies will help them to avoid the pitfalls of this combination. These people have a sarcastic sense of humor, a keen intelligence, and the ability to apply caution and strategy. The vitality may suffer, and troubles with the bones, teeth, and circulation may surface.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Harry Belafonte, Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Salvador Dali, Marilyn Manson, Oprah Winfrey, Salvador Dali, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Alec Guiness. Oppositions – Jim Morrison, Charlie Sheen, Kurt Russell.The Sun
Sun Trine Neptune
Today will be rewarding if you find the time to express yourself by helping others. Find something artistic through which you can channel your creativity and your soul. Art and music as well as spiritual pursuits are favored today. Try to become one with the Universe today. Creative visualization can be an important means through which your goals are realized. Idealism runs high today.There is an unmistakably dreamy, inspired, and sensitive side to those born with easy aspects between the Sun and Neptune. A marked appreciation for music and the arts is present. The connection of Neptune with the Sun, which represents the ego and the will, certainly softens some of the hard edges that might be found elsewhere in the chart, adding a sensitive and spiritual dimension to the personality. These people are naturally compassionate, especially those born under the trine. It is so completely natural for them to accept that there is more to the world than what is before their eyes, that they tend to presume everyone must be spiritually-inclined. Of course, they come to realize that this is not the case at some early point in their lives. Their attraction to spirituality and metaphysical subjects is usually marked. These aspects favor writers, artists, and musicians. These people are sensitive to those who are suffering, although they are not as easily taken advantage of as those with Sun-Moon challenging aspects. They are humanitarian and often have a special connection with animals. If other aspects and positions in the chart support it, these people are not ones to dominate others or assert themselves to the point of brashness.Some Famous People with Sun in Easy Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Mick Jagger; Trines – Farrah Fawcett, Billy Corgan, Muhammad AliThe Sun
Sun Sextile Pluto
You can make important changes in your life and in yourself today. The force of your will and the perception to see what needs changing combine to give you the ability to do whatever is required. Regeneration is possible in any area of your life. Change that bad habit, eliminate what is unnecessary or outmoded. You have the force with you today. Group activities can be especially rewarding today as you can help make the groups' goals a reality. People in authority are receptive to changes today. Lay that new idea on them.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. These people are not much scared of anything. They enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the psychological kind. They love a good mystery, and they are adept at solving it. Many people with these aspects feel they have a “calling” or destiny. They readily assign meaning to what others might consider “ordinary” events. They look for symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly.Others tend to respect those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they are usually quick to help others–not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Their insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. These are perceptive people who are not easily rattled or surprised in life. They are not do-gooders, and they are unlikely law-breakers. However, they are not afraid of the “dark side” of human nature, and they will bend the rules from time to time if they feel the need to do so. Many take particular pleasure in growth and life’s lessons. They are not fond of superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. Some experiment with their powers to deceive at some early point in their lives, but generally grow in their strength and integrity. In fact, many do their best to rid themselves of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to at times. These people are passionate and can be intense. They have a hunger to experience more than just an “ordinary” life, and they can be quite ambitious. Some are perfectionists, demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty from others.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon the talents of this aspect when necessary, and those with the trine have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Famous People with Sun in easy aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Christina Aguilera, Lisa Bonet, Bob Dylan; Trines – Ed Asner, James Caan, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Susan Dey, Sam Donaldson, Chris Evert, Bette Midler.Note from Annie: I have perhaps used more words to describe Sun-Pluto aspects than I have with other planetary aspects. This is because I grew up with astrology books that offered rather dire and extreme descriptions of the aspects. Because of this, I had problems identifying with the interpretations of my own Sun conjunction Pluto as being “power-hungry”, “dominating”, and “controlling”. Some descriptions suggested an attraction to crime. Except in extreme cases, Sun-Pluto people are not extremists hell-bent on destroying or dominating everyone around them. However, they do need to come to terms with their “dark side”, their intense fears, and their tendency to be very self-protective. A more humane and psychological approach to defining the aspects can be found in many modern astrology books, and I think it is very beneficial, especially since one of the main challenges to overcome with Sun-Pluto is for the rational ruler of light (the Sun) to identify with the energies of the ruler of dark (Pluto). Nobody benefits if descriptions of the aspects are so extreme that they are quickly dismissed as “wrong”.Mercury
