Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3490 (N17E47, Hax/alpha) has been separated into two spot groups. The leading spot remains assigned to Region 3490 and the large cluster of trailing spots has been re-assigned as Region 3492 (N18E64, Dhi/beta-gamma). Region 3492 produced the largest flare of the period, which was an M1.2 at 20/0903 UTC. Region 3489 (S16E32, Dai/beta-delta) was observed as having more magnetic complexity today but was generally inactive. Regions 3493 (S12E69, Hax/alpha) and 3494 (S15E78, Hax/alpha) were both numbered this period as more spots rotated into view in the southeast quadrant. North of the equator, and in the same hemisphere, Regions 3495 (N27E59, Hrx/alpha), 3496 (N09E36, Bxo/beta) and 3497 (N16E50, Hsx/alpha) were also assigned. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.
The IMF was enhanced with what appears to be from weak, transient influences. Total field strength peaked at 15 nT, and the Bz component ranged from +7 nT to -5 nT. Solar wind speed was generally steady around 320 km/s. The phi angle was mostly negative with a few short turns into the opposite sector.
There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 15% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
The waxing moon is currently in Pisces, at 09 degrees, 21' 13", at a velocity of 14.17 degrees per day.

Moon Is In Pisces
Well, well, well, stargazers! Get your telescopes, magic wands, and sprinkle a bit of fairy dust because the Moon has decided to take a vacation in Pisces. Yes, you heard it right! The Moon, our beloved lunar satellite, is 369,974.302049377 km away, but don't worry, you won't need a Firebolt broomstick to feel its effects. Now, you may be wondering, "What does this mean for me, oh whimsical wizard of the stars?" Well, let's dissect this like a Hogwarts potions class, shall we? Moon in Pisces is like Dumbledore, wise and intuitive, having an open house at Hogwarts. It's like Hagrid, letting all his magical creatures run free, emotions are roaming around, some are as cute as Fluffy the three-headed dog, others as mysterious as Thestrals. You might find yourself more empathetic than Dobby with a sock, or you might get lost in daydreams deeper than the Chamber of Secrets. Your intuition could rival Professor Trelawney’s, and emotional sensitivity? You've got more than Moaning Myrtle. Just remember, it's okay to feel all your feelings, even if they're as chaotic as a Quidditch match. This period calls for a deep dive into the Pensieve of Self. So put on your favorite robe, light up your wand (or, scientifically speaking, leverage the full power of your prefrontal cortex), and let’s navigate these celestial waves like Sirius Black on a Hippogriff. Embrace the magic, my astrological apprentices, and remember: you're just as sane as Luna Lovegood! Remember, the night sky is not merely a field of twinkling stars, but a grand stage where cosmic players enact their roles. And currently, it seems like the Moon is going method actor, fully embracing the Pisces persona. So don your invisibility cloak and enjoy the show, my celestial comrades!

Mercury Is In Sagittarius
Mercercury in Sagittarius, Baby!
So, Mercury (that tiny planet with a big ego) has decided to strut its stuff in the Sagittarius runway, folks. Now, Mercury is all about that nitty-gritty, the fine print, the devil in the details, you catch my drift? And Sagittarius? Well, it's like an adventurous hippie hitchhiking across the universe, always dreaming of the next big thing. So when Mr. Meticulous meets Sir Spontaneity, you better believe it's going to be interesting!
With Mercury moonwalking in Sagittarius, we're talking enthusiastic words, confident messages, and debates so passionate you’d think they were Italian operas. The trick here is to keep your prejudice on a leash while letting your reason run wild. It's like being at a cosmic cocktail party - everyone's got a different story and perspective, just make sure you're not too hammered to appreciate it.
But let me tell you, Mercury in Sagittarius can be as unpredictable as WiFi on a mountain top. One minute you're streaming, the next - poof! You might find yourself blurting out words faster than a sneeze without checking if they're even true, or worse, offensive. So, remember to put a filter between your brain and your mouth, else you'll end up looking like a babbling buffoon at best, or at worst, a clueless clod who's lost touch with reality.
Now here’s the fun part – Sagittarius, the arrow-slinging explorer of the zodiac, means our possibilities are as endless as a Star Trek marathon while Mercury is doing its thing here. Ever wanted to learn Klingon? Or visit the world's largest ball of twine? Well, now's the time! Pack your bags (and maybe a phrase book), because it’s time to boldly go where you haven't gone before!
So, in a nutshell, Mercury in Sagittarius is like having Bill Nye and Bob Ross co-host a show on quantum physics - it's chaotic, colorful, and an absolute cosmic carnival. Enjoy the ride, stargazers!
Venus
Venus is in Libra
Venus is prograde at 14 Lib 20' 45", moving at 1.14 degrees per day, and is 135337007km away and receding.
Venus Is In Libra
Well, hello there, star gazers and planet chasers! Do you feel that tickle in the air? That's the cosmic energy of Venus twirling her way into Libra like a ballroom dancer whose had one too many cups of galaxy juice. Now, I know some of you are thinking, "Venus is 135285773.458190650km away, what does it matter?" You, my friends, have clearly never witnessed the power of a love-struck Venus in the sign of the scales. Venus in Libra is like a cosmic rom-com, where love isn't just in the air, it's pretty much hogging all the oxygen. Relationships become as light and effervescent as a helium balloon, and rudeness? Pfft, that's about as welcome as a black hole at a star party! Now, Libra, bless its balanced heart, is all about equality. It's not interested in your 50/50 deals. No sir, it's more of a 100/100 kind of zodiac. So, if your love life has been feeling like a seesaw with a sumo wrestler on one end, you might find things leveling out a bit. And don't think this is all about romance. Venus and Libra are also the queens of the beauty pageant. They're about as obsessed with aesthetics as a hipster is with organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, fair trade coffee. If you've been considering splurging on that vintage Star Trek poster or updating your home to look like the interior of the TARDIS, now's the time! So, folks, as Venus takes her turn in the cosmic dance with Libra, remember to love like you're in a sci-fi epic. Cooperate like you're part of an intergalactic federation, strive for peace like a Vulcan, and live lightly, like you've just been beamed up. And always remember: in the grand theater of the cosmos, every planet has its part to play... even when they're 135285773.458190650km away!
Mars

Mars Is In Scorpio
Alright folks, fasten your seatbelts and put on your best pair of cosmic combat boots because Mars is currently kicking up a storm in Scorpio. Picture Sarah Connor from The Terminator. Yes, dear stargazers, we're about to unleash some serious celestial backbone! Mars in Scorpio is like an interstellar espresso shot – it's going to get you buzzing, whether you're ready or not. And this isn't your average almond milk latte kind of energy. It's more like a double shot, black-as-the-cosmos, no-sugar-added type of vigor. During this time, there's no room for compromise. It's your way or the Milky Way. Mars is giving you the cosmic clout to be the captain of your own spaceship. If anyone tries to hijack your celestial journey... let's just say they might find themselves floating in zero gravity. But let's talk about the potential asteroid fields. Mars in Scorpio could turn you into a space-time warrior, ready to confront the darkest corners of your galaxy. You might experience the urge to dive headfirst into a black hole of self-examination, ready to wrestle any psychic aliens that come your way. Remember, every asteroid field has a safe path through it, and every black hole has a lesson at its core. However, approach with caution. The red planet in the sign of the Scorpion can make us as aggressive as a Star Trek Klingon on a bad day. This could create more drama than a season finale cliffhanger, potentially damaging your intergalactic relationships. So, pick your battles wisely. Not every cosmic collision needs to be a supernova explosion. Think of this astral alignment as your spiritual boot camp. It's a chance to master the Darth Vader within, to overcome power struggles, revenge, bitterness, and an inability to forgive. So suit up, Space Cadets, it's time to elevate above the shadows and channel your inner Jedi. In the words of the great Carl Sagan, "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." So, put on your space helmet and let Mars in Scorpio guide you towards that something incredible. May the force be with you!

Jupiter in Taurus: The Cosmic Bull in the Cosmic China Shop
Hold onto your space helmets, cosmic adventurers! Jupiter, that massive gaseous giant, has decided to set up shop in the earthly realm of Taurus. Imagine if you will, a celestial bull in a cosmic china shop. Nothing can go wrong there, right? Well, fret not. This isn't a disaster waiting to happen. It's an opportunity... a BIG one (and no, I'm not just saying that because Jupiter is roughly 1,321 Earths in volume).
Let's get scientific for a moment. When we talk about 'Jupiter in Taurus,' we're not suggesting that Taurus suddenly got an oversized roommate and had to upgrade its flat to a duplex. No, this is about Jupiter's current retrograde position in relation to Taurus, approximately 604398813.093323469km away (give or take a few hundred kilometers).
Now, what does this mean for you? Well, Jupiter - the scholar of the cosmos - is all about wisdom, expansion, and growth. Taurus, on the other hand, is an earth sign, known for its practicality, patience, and occasional penchant for overindulgence. Put these two together, and you've got a recipe for some serious self-reflection and personal development...or, at the very least, a really good reason to buy that fancy espresso machine you've been eyeing up.
With Jupiter in Taurus, the cosmos is handing you the spiritual equivalent of a cosmic to-do list. You'll feel an urge to get cracking on those long-term goals, whether they're related to career growth, financial stability, or finally mastering the art of sourdough baking. Remember, it's not about rushing - it's about steady, meaningful progress. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Death Star.
The cosmic takeaway? Embrace this opportunity to connect with your inner wisdom, take practical steps towards your goals, and maybe treat yourself a little while you're at it. Just remember to keep it balanced - even in the cosmos, too much of a good thing can lead to a space-time hangover. So, buckle up, stay focused, and enjoy the ride! Jupiter in Taurus is your ticket to a journey of self-discovery and personal growth...with a side of cosmic comedy thrown in for good
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 00 Pis 45' 50", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 1445582258km away and receding.
Saturn Is In Pisces
Hey there, cosmic voyager! Grab your space snacks and settle in because Saturn has just park its cosmic caboose in Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Wait, isn't Saturn like... 1445496237.595901012km away?" And to that, I say: "Yes, but in the space-time-astrology continuum, distance is just a numerical construct designed to confuse us." So, onto business! When Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, decides to take a dip in the dreamy ocean of Pisces, it's like having your college roommate move into your zen meditation room. Sure, he might have a thing or two to teach about discipline and responsibility, but boy, does he cramp your spiritual style. This transit is an open invitation to take those dreams of yours (you know, the ones that have been sitting on the shelf while you binge-watch sci-fi series) and give them a good dusting. Want to write a book? Do it! Dream of opening a business? Why not? But remember, Saturn isn't all dream catchers and vision boards. Nope, this guy is about getting down to brass tacks. So while you're gazing into the future, make sure you've got a pen in hand and a plan in mind. You might feel a bit like a fish out of water (pun intended) during this time. With all of this Piscean energy swirling around, you might have some trouble sleeping. But hey, who needs sleep when you've got the universe to explore, right? (Just kidding, make sure you get some shut-eye!) In all seriousness, use this time to practice some inner calm. Take a stroll through the woods, meditate, or try some deep breathing exercises. And remember, if you wake up from a dream where Saturn is your college roommate, it's probably a sign that you need to clean your room. So, buckle up and enjoy the cosmic ride because Saturn in Pisces is all about turning dreams into reality. And remember, the universe has a sense of humor, so don't forget to laugh along the way!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is retrograde at 20 Tau 45' 01", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 2788642787km away and receding.
Uranus Is In Taurus
Alright, cosmic comrades, pull up a chair and buckle up, because the universe just dealt us a celestial curveball. Our quirky buddy Uranus has parked itself in the steadfast land of Taurus, and it's like inviting a mad scientist to a tea party. Taurus, our cosmic couch potato, loves stability. Its idea of a wild Friday night is trying a new flavor of ice cream (but only if it's on sale). Then there's Uranus, the galaxy's resident adrenaline junkie, who thrives on radical changes and shaking things up. This is the equivalent of your granny suddenly deciding to skydive... naked. It's definitely out of character, but hey, you can't fault her for embracing change. Uranus' seven-year sleepover in Taurus could cause quite a stir. Imagine if monopoly money suddenly became the new currency or if banks decided to operate from treehouses. I'm not saying it'll get that whimsical, but expect some serious shifts in money matters. We might even see digital currency become as common as cat videos on the internet. On a personal level, this planetary party prompts us to rethink our relationship with money and material possessions. You know, those sneaky little things that often chain us to a lifestyle that feels as comfortable as wearing a porcupine as a hat. Debt, taxes, rent – all these financial fun-sponges could start feeling like a bad pair of shoes. Too tight, too uncomfortable, and seriously cramping our style. But fear not, fellow star sailors! Uranus didn't crash into Taurus' garden party just to create chaos. It's here to help us break free from these earthly shackles. Sure, letting go of what we're used to can be as scary as realizing you've sent a risqué text to the wrong person. But remember, change is the only constant in life. So, rather than resisting, let's surf this cosmic wave. We might end up finding a treasure chest at the end of this celestial ride. So, hitch up those big-kid pants, take a deep breath and get ready to embrace the unknown. Because with Uranus in Taurus, it's not just a new day... it's a whole new universe!

Neptune in Pisces: "I'll be Back!"
Listen up, Astro-nerds! Neptune, the celestial body that isn't just named after a Roman sea god, but is also the king of the outer planets, has decided to take a cosmic vacation in Pisces. And it's not just any ordinary visit. Nope. It's gone into retrograde. That's right folks, the big blue gas giant is moonwalking its way through the zodiac!
With Neptune in Pisces, we're getting a double dose of dreaminess, spirituality, and intuition. It's like having your own personal Yoda whispering wisdom in your ear. Except this Yoda is 4.4 billion kilometers away and made of methane ice clouds...but I digress.
Just like when the Terminator first arrived from the future, this transit is all about seeing things in a new light. Forget about the petty squabbles over who left the toilet seat up. We're talking big picture stuff here. The sort of universal love and unity that could make even a T-800 series Terminator shed a tear (if it had tear ducts).
Neptune in Pisces is like the universe's RSVP to a spiritual potluck. We've all got something to bring to the table: gifts, ideas, dreams. So why not throw on your favorite tie-dye shirt, whip up a batch of your famous vegan brownies, and join the astrological shindig?
It's a great time to explore your spiritual side. You could take up yoga, start meditating, or even just create a little peaceful sanctuary in your home. And if you're wondering how to share these newfound insights with the world, remember, as the Terminator would say, "There's no fate but what we make for ourselves." So go out there and make some cosmic waves!
Don't forget, like the Terminator, Neptune in Pisces will eventually say "I'll be back". But until then, embrace the energy and remember, in the grand cosmic scheme of things, we're all stardust. Peace out!
Pluto
Pluto is in Capricorn
Pluto is prograde at 28 Cap 17' 56", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5293334887km away and receding.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Horoscope Alert, Earthlings! Pluto is currently sauntering its way through the hardworking Capricorn, and it’s not there for a vacation. Imagine if you will, a celestial office party where Pluto, the celestial bad boy, is your new project manager and Capricorn, the stern taskmaster, is your boss. The result? Let's just say, don't expect a lot of cake and karaoke. Both Pluto and Capricorn are the kind of cosmic entities that enjoy rolling up their sleeves and digging into some serious work. They're like the Sheldon Coopers of the universe, who get a physics-induced high from solving complex equations on a Saturday night. However, in their quest for efficiency, they might forget that other opinions also exist, which could make your world feel as small as Pluto itself! Now, don't get me wrong. Pluto is not all about being the cosmic killjoy. It's also about transformation and rebirth. You know, like the Phoenix rising from its ashes, or like Gandalf going from the Grey to the White. Or like when you finally manage to upgrade your computer operating system without losing all your data (miracles do happen!). So, during this transit, strap yourselves in, folks. It's time to hit the cosmic CTRL+ALT+DEL on those habits that make your life feel like a never-ending buffering video. But remember, while you're busy decluttering your life, try not to transform into an intergalactic Marie Kondo. Not everything that doesn't spark joy needs to be jettisoned into the deep void of space. In short, as Pluto orbits in Capricorn, expect some life-changes. But hey, change is good, right? After all, if it weren't for change, we'd still be calling Pluto a planet. Now, go forth and prosper. Or was it live long and prosper? I always get those two confused...Current Planetary Aspects

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

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

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

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.Mars

Today is a good day to be involved with spiritual activities. You are imaginative, intuitive, psychic, and visual today. Focus on your inner self and try to commune with the Higher part of your being. Get involved with serving others or doing some work for charity. Much soul growth can come your way today by helping others.You are highly perceptive and can detect insincerity or dishonesty in others. Because you are kind and sympathetic, others come to you with their problems and you always have a patient ear. You have the ability to balance your needs for both spiritual growth and physical achievement and can usually manage to do both simultaneously.Others find you magnetic, charming and very sociable. You prefer an uncomplicated yet stimulating love life and are a warm and tender lover.

The flush of romantic love may fade, but your former lovers will always respect you. You can inspire your lover and bring much joy into her life. You have a good understanding of the “give and take” of life and are sensitive to the needs of others. You are a romantic at heart and very sensitive in love. You must have honesty in your relationships and will accept nothing less. You are able to see through others to their real motivations, so insincerity is not easy to hide from you. Sometimes you can communicate with your lover without words, through expressions, gestures or “vibes.” You have strong emotional as well as physical needs, but your partner must also be refined and respectable.

You pick up even the subtlest of nuances, and this intuitive understanding and “soft touch” is extremely attractive to many women. Your instinctive ability to be at the right place at the right time assists you greatly in life. This inherent spirituality can express itself well through the arts as well. Sexual fantasies are especially strong. In your life, you may become attracted to spiritual forms of sexuality, such as Tao and Tantra. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles About Him Report.Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects.
