Well, hello there stargazers! Beam up your attention to the cosmos where our celestial drama queen, the Moon, has just checked into the fiery suite of Aries. Oh, what a sight! The Moon at a distance of 371,578.979924301km (And yes, I counted each one for accuracy) is sitting snug in the Martian ruled sign. It's like the Moon just got a hot sauce upgrade! Aries, the cosmic Ram, with its "I'm first, look at me" energy, combined with the Moon's emotional undertone, it's like a melodramatic soap opera in space. Expect emotions to be running as high as Kirk's eyebrows on Star Trek. You might find yourself being a little more assertive, maybe even a touch aggressive. Suddenly, monopoly isn't just a game, it's a battle for intergalactic dominance, and that parking spot? Oh, it's personal! But don't panic, this lunar visit is as brief as Spock's sense of humor. In the next 24 hours, our beloved Moon will take a cosmic Uber to the serenity of Taurus. So, if you find yourself wanting to fight a Klingon today, remember, tomorrow you'll probably just want to hug them...or at least share a good meal. So buckle up, star children, for this lunar rollercoaster ride. Remember, it's not about the destination, but the journey, even if it feels like warp speed. Live long and prosper, my friends...and may the cosmic forces be ever in your favor!

Mercury in Sagittarius: The Perfect Time to Aim High and Double-Check Your Shoelaces
Holy celestial alignment, space nerds! Mercury, the cosmic speedster, has parked itself in the neighborhood of Sagittarius, the universe's eternal optimist. This can only mean one thing: we've got a front row seat to a cosmic comedy show where meticulous details meet broad visions and well, let's just say things could get interesting.
Think of it like this: Mercury is that uber-organized friend who color-codes their entire life, while Sagittarius is the adventurous buddy who's always got an eye on the horizon and the other on their next thrilling escapade. So, put 'em together and you get a duo that’s as excitingly unpredictable as a quantum physics lecture given by a stand-up comedian.
Brace yourselves for a period of enthusiastic words, confident messages, and passionate debates that could rival a Star Trek vs Star Wars fan forum. And keep in mind, as we’re hurtling through the cosmos searching for life's biggest answers, it's essential to appreciate different points of view. After all, variety is the spice of the multiverse!
However, note to self, Mercury in Sagittarius is not the time to be the human embodiment of an unchecked autocomplete. Words might be flying out of your mouth faster than light speed, so triple-check your verbal emissions unless you want to come across as a babbling fool or accidentally declare war on an alien civilization.
Remember, Sagittarius is represented by the Archer, the universe's answer to Dora the Explorer. With Mercury in this sign, it's a stellar time to broaden your horizons, whether that means planning an intergalactic voyage, signing up for Klingon language classes, or starting a new job in a parallel universe. So grab your telescope, pack your sense of humor, and let's boldly go where no horoscope has gone before!

Venus Is In Libra: Love, Balance and a Smidge of Space-Geekery
Alright, space cadets, buckle up! Venus, everyone's favorite love planet, has sashayed into lovely Libra, bringing a whole lot of interstellar crush vibes. Think of it as a cosmic prom where Venus and Libra are the king and queen, slow-dancing under the disco ball in the sky. And you? Well, you're the DJ, spinning the soundtrack to your own romantic drama.
With this pairing, relationships become less like fiery telenovelas and more like episodes of 'Friends' - light, breezy, with occasional comedic misunderstandings. Like Ross, we might not want to "rock the boat" (or pivot the couch) for fear of disturbing the peace. But remember, folks, sweeping issues under an intergalactic rug won't keep them from popping out like mischievous gremlins later.
Picture love during Venus in Libra like a seesaw - it’s not about a 50/50 balance, but two people giving their 100% to keep everything on an even keel. Libra, the celestial referee, will blow the whistle on any relationship foul play. So, if one of you is slacking off or swooning harder, expect it to light up like neon on the Vegas strip.
But wait! There's more. Venus and Libra aren't just about heart-shaped emojis. They're also the fashion police of the zodiac, promoting style and grace. Looking for an excuse to revamp your space or wardrobe? Now's the time! Channel your inner Marie Kondo and surround yourself with things that spark joy and make you feel as fabulous as Freddie Mercury on stage.
So, to sum up the celestial memo: Venus in Libra is all about loving wholeheartedly, promoting cosmic peace and living lightly. Oh, and one more thing - always remember to be as charming as you are while waiting for your latte at the coffee shop, because brash behavior is as welcome as a black hole in this transit.
Enjoy the ride, space cadets, and may the Venus-Libra love force be with you!

Mars In Scorpio: The Cosmic Tango
Good day, stargazers! Guess what? Our cosmic neighbor Mars has found a snazzy new parking spot, right in the heart of Scorpio. Imagine it as a rowdy space cowboy, kicking down the barn doors with a celestial "Yeehaw!" Mars isn't the type to RSVP or bring a bottle of wine; he just rocks up and shakes things up, like a teenager with a drum kit at 3am.
Now, don't start fretting about the cosmic noise complaint just yet. This Martian tango with Scorpio can actually be quite invigorating. It's like having a personal motivational speaker lodged in your psyche, hollering, "You got this! Power up! Unleash the beast!". Mars in Scorpio could also be your personal trainer, urging you to flex those emotional muscles and bravely face any psychological cobwebs that might be lurking in your mental attic.
But remember folks, with great power comes great... well, mood swings. Mars in Scorpio can be as fiery as a jalapeno-infused tequila shot and as intense as a final boss battle in a video game. You may find yourself grappling with emotional dragons, and I'm not talking about re-watching the final season of Game of Thrones. This planetary alignment could make you more confrontational than a cat with a cucumber, so remember to breathe. Or as they say on Vulcan, "Infinite diversity in infinite combinations".
While we're doing our best to manage this interstellar intensity, let's remember it's not all doom and gloom. Mars in Scorpio is like a cosmic boot camp for the soul. It's as if the universe is whispering, "Hey, you're stronger than you think". So let's march on, fellow stargazers. Remember: every cloud - or in this case, planet - has a silver lining, even if it's 376,433,506.368255913km away!
And remember, Mars moves into Sagittarius within the next 24 hours, so prepare for a shift from that intense Scorpio energy to a more free-wheeling, adventurous vibe. Think of it as swapping out your electric guitar for a ukulele. Rock on, cosmic voyagers!

Jupiter in Taurus - The Big, Bullish Bonanza
Alright folks, strap on your space boots and prime your nerdy intellect because Jupiter, the 'Big Daddy' of wisdom and deep thinking has decided to park itself in Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn member. Imagine Yoda deciding to camp in a bullring. Yeah, it's gonna be that interesting!
Now, Jupiter being in Taurus is like having your favorite professor live next door to you. It's the cosmic equivalent of "Hey, didn't realize I had all this wisdom tucked away in my bathrobe pockets!" This transit reminds us that, just like that forgotten popcorn kernel stuck between your sofa cushions, the answers we seek are always within us. They're just waiting for an opportune moment, or a deep dive into your furniture, to make themselves known.
What's more, Jupiter hanging out with Taurus is like being invited to a cosmic planning session. It's time to dust off those to-do lists, crack your knuckles, and start checking off boxes like a hyperactive postman. Thanks to Jupiter's go-getter attitude and Taurus’s stubborn-as-a-mule persistence, you'll find yourself navigating through the process with the precision of a GPS system offering turn-by-turn directions towards your goals.
Now, let's talk about the elephant (or should I say bull) in the room. With Jupiter, the cosmic lottery winner, in Taurus, the Wall Street tycoon of the zodiac, there's a good chance you might stumble upon a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or, you know, find a forgotten lottery ticket in your old jeans. Either way, it's a good time to reevaluate your financial standing and invest in that startup idea you've been toying with – 'Anti-Gravity Yoga Pants', anyone?
Be warned though, Taurus is the zodiac equivalent of a gourmet who takes one look at the menu and says, "I'll have everything." And Jupiter is not exactly known for its portion control. So, while the good times roll, remember to keep your impulses in check. You don't want to end up like that kid in the candy store who ate too many licorice whips and ended up seeing unicorns. Trust me.

Saturn In Pisces - A Cosmic Comedy
Alright, buckle up space cadets because Saturn is in Pisces and it's about to get as real as a tofu burger at a hippie commune. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Saturn is 1452933624.653641701km away, how does that even affect my life?" Well, my friend, let me break it down for you.
Saturn in Pisces is like your best friend who also happens to be a therapist - always there to listen to your wildest dreams but also ready with a reality check when you need it. You see, Saturn is like the universe’s most brutally honest friend. It's the one that tells you, "no, you cannot pull off those neon leggings" or "yes, that business idea of yours might actually work if you stop procrastinating".
And let me tell you, when the cosmic disciplinarian meets the zodiac's dreamer, you better have a notepad on hand. They're going to be dishing out wisdom faster than a quantum computer solves equations. Don't worry if it feels like Saturn's intruding on your daydreams. He's just trying to help you turn them into realities. Think of him as an overzealous life coach with planetary power.
Now, this celestial rendezvous might make you feel a bit restless. After all, having Saturn rummaging around in your subconscious is like having a science teacher poking around your comic book collection – it’s bound to cause some anxiety. But don't fret! This is the perfect time to embrace your inner zen master. Meditate, go for a peaceful walk, or, if you're feeling particularly brave, try sleeping. Yes, I said it, sleep! Just make sure to keep a dream journal nearby. Who knows, Saturn might just drop some cosmic wisdom in your dreams.
So, my fellow stargazers, as Saturn makes its grand tour through Pisces, remember to take its lessons with a pinch of interstellar salt and a dash of cosmic humor. After all, the universe has a funny way of making sure we don't take life too seriously.

Uranus Is In Taurus
Ah, Uranus in Taurus, splendid! Now, imagine a bull - a rather steady, reliable creature that likes its afternoon naps and enjoys chewing on its cud in peace. Suddenly, along comes a hyperactive alien planet, Uranus, shaking up the bull's tranquil existence. That's the cosmic equivalent of someone popping bubble wrap in a library. It's like putting espresso shots in your chamomile tea. It's chaos meets calm, my dear friends, and it's going to be one tumultuous ride. Now, Taurus, bless it, is the astrological CFO. It's all about the money, honey. But here's Uranus, the Steve Jobs of the universe, bringing in revolutionary ideas that could make our old financial systems look as outdated as a fax machine. So, brace yourselves for some cosmic rebranding of currency and maybe a complete revamp of the banking sector. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to declutter our financial messes. Are you drowning in debt or shackled by taxes? Well, Uranus is here with a celestial sledgehammer to break those financial chains. It might feel a bit like being strapped to a rocket set for Mars, but trust me, it's for your own good. Remember, Taurus might not like change, but even a stubborn bull can't ignore a cosmic cattle prod. So, hold onto your hats and embrace the financial revolution Uranus is bringing. It's time to redefine what 'value' means to you. And who knows? By the end of this transit, you might find yourself in a much more stable and secure place. Now, isn't that a comforting thought? So, let's get ready to rumble... financially speaking, of course!
Neptune

Neptune Is In Pisces
Hey there stargazers! So, guess what? Neptune's taken a vacation in Pisces! Now, I know what you're thinking: "Wow, a planet on holiday. How exciting… not!" But hold onto your telescopes, because this is actually pretty cool! Let me paint you a picture. Imagine you're at a hipster coffee shop and you order a cosmic latte. You take a sip and suddenly, bam! You can see everything clearer than ever before. The barista's ironic mustache, the recycled art on the walls, the futility of arguing over whether 'Star Wars' or 'Star Trek' is better... it all just makes sense. Well, that's what Neptune in Pisces is like. It's like your daily cup of coffee has been spiked with cosmic clarity. The whole universe is basically saying, "Hey, let's stop squabbling over who didn't replace the toilet paper roll and focus on the big picture!" It's a call to look within ourselves and figure out what unique gifts we've got to offer the world. (Don't worry, I'm sure your talent for memorizing every 'Doctor Who' episode counts.) Think of it like this: Neptune in Pisces is your personal invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's your chance to study the magic within you, set up your own sacred space (no pointy hats required, though), and connect with whatever makes you feel like you're part of something bigger. The best part? Neptune in Pisces is like Dumbledore himself, supporting you as you explore and share your magic with the world. So, grab your robes, pick out your wand (or, you know, just embrace the metaphor), because it's time to dive into your emotional depths and find your magic. Don't forget to tell us muggles about your journey!

Pluto in Capricorn: A Trek to the Stars, and Beyond
Now, folks, I'm not saying you should start your day with a Vulcan salute, but it's highly illogical not to when Pluto is currently having a cosmic jam session with Capricorn. You see, both these celestial bodies are like Spock and Captain Kirk on a mission – they're all about success, power, and getting things done at warp speed. The downside? They may get a little too engrossed in their mission objectives, turning a deaf ear to Uhura’s intergalactic communications. That's right, my star trekkers, we might find ourselves disregarding the viewpoints of others. But remember, diversity in thought is what fuels our starship Enterprise.
And here comes a plot twist worthy of a Star Trek episode. Pluto, our farthest dwarf planet, wants us to beam up our negative patterns that are as redundant as a Tribble on the ship. It's pushing for some constructive destruction - a classic Star Trek paradox! So, grab your phasers, set them on 'change', and be as deliberate as a calculated Vulcan move in 3D chess. Just remember, in the wise words of Captain Kirk himself, "Change is the essential process of all existence".
So, whether you're navigating the vast universe of professional ambition or the intricate asteroid field of interpersonal relationships, keep your sensors alert and your shields up. It's time to boldly go where no man has gone before. Live long and prosper, my cosmic adventurers!

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

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”.Mars

You must control your feelings of resentment and anger today as these feelings may be stronger than usual. Watch yourself and be careful of falls, bruises, burns, and accidents. Be cautious and take things slow today. Stay alert and do not become careless. Stay focused and organized and do your duty. Don't rail against it. It will only make things worse. Today will pass and tomorrow will be brighter, so hang in there and stop worrying.You are a perfectionist. You can pick at yourself and others unmercifully, trying to get circumstances in your life to match some unspecified standard. Your energy becomes freer to work in an unencumbered way when you recognize that you aren’t really looking to match an objective standard at all. What you want is to find some emotionally and psychologically defendable ground to stand on. The real trick in life for you is to keep moving. This is not easy since you should really only move ahead on a project after forethought or planning; your judgments tend to be colored by your fears or your momentary desires. You work very hard for what comes to you. This is unavoidable. But, you could end up working very hard for no gain. This is avoidable through balancing your drives with your responsibilities. You find that you have better health and much freer energy if you get vigorous physical exercise at least three times a week. — Interpretation sample from the In Depth report.Mars square Saturn or Mars opposition Saturn: *You work hard and patiently to achieve your objectives, persevering and continuing on in spite of difficulties and discouragement. Concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, you are able to accomplish much, but you often feel that the way is long and arduous, and that you must struggle on alone, that it’s all on your shoulders.You are capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard task master, expecting far too much of yourself. You also tend to hold yourself back, to doubt your own power and ability. You feel that you meet with great resistance whenever you try to assert yourself or take initiative. Anger and frustration can be big problems for you, especially when you try to work with other people or depend too much on others for support. You work best in solitude.#Your involvement with other people often focuses on the harshest side of human experience. You become aware of destructive energies around you and learn to overcome these difficulties. Your spiritual life can become the source of nearly inexhaustible energy. You face tests through separation.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Susan Sarandon, Claudia Schiffer, River Phoenix, Phil Hartman, Julius Caesar; Oppositions – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Brooke Shields, Darryl Hannah, George Clooney, Todd Bridges, Jean-Claude Van Damme.Mars
