Moon Is In Leo

Hello, celestial seekers! Buckle up your moon boots and toss on your starry specs, because guess what? Our lunar buddy, the Moon, is currently vacationing in the grand and bold suite of Leo. And oh, it's not just next-door, loves. We're talking 399,040.440594812km away, which, in case you're wondering, is a bit too far for a Sunday stroll. But don't worry, I've got you covered. Now, when the moon pops over to Leo's house, it's like watching that one friend who's usually chill suddenly decide to jump on the karaoke stage. You know, the one who's usually in the corner with a book, then out of nowhere is belting out 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in full Freddie Mercury style. It's a whole mood, and it’s happening right now! What does this mean for you? Well, darling, it's time to crank up the volume on your life. Let your inner lion roar, strut your stuff down the catwalk of life, and don’t be afraid to take center stage. But remember, while our dear lion is known for its pride and confidence, it also has a heart as vast as the distance between us and the Moon. So, don't forget to be kind, compassionate, and benevolent in your triumphs. The world is your savannah, but even the king of the jungle knows the wisdom in ruling with love. And for the nerds out there, (yes, I see you with your pocket protectors), a fun fact while we're at it: the Moon isn't just hanging around Leo for giggles. It's due to this nifty thing called an ecliptic longitude, which, to keep it simple, is basically space GPS. But instead of avoiding traffic, it's stellar bodies and cosmic forces. So, grab your metaphorical microphone, cosmic voyagers! The Moon in Leo is your backing track, so go ahead and sing to the tune of your own life. Until next time, keep your telescopes tuned and remember: we're all just stardust doing a cosmic dance. Peace out!

Mercury Is In Sagittarius

Hey there stargazers, get ready for a cosmic trip with your favorite astrologer because we're off to Mercury in Sagittarius! That's right, the planet that's basically the nerdy kid of the solar system, always scribbling down notes and wearing thick glasses, has decided to vacation in the land of the adventurous archer. And I'm not talking Robin Hood, more like Legolas from Lord of the Rings! Mercury, our favorite solar system smarty pants, is known for getting into the nitty-gritty of things. But in Sagittarius, it's like he's suddenly swapped his lab coat for hiking boots and a telescope. He's all about the big picture, the far-off horizons, the "to infinity and beyond!" kind of thinking. But don't worry, our meticulous little Mercury hasn't lost his knack for details. He's just using them to paint a bigger, brighter, and more exciting picture of the future. Imagine Bob Ross, but if his paintings could predict your life. Happy little trees indeed! Now, Sagittarius is like that friend who starts a party just by walking in the room. So, while Mercury is hanging out here, expect some lively conversations, bold messages, and debates so passionate, they'd make a political pundit blush. The key is to keep an open mind, folks! Let go of your preconceived notions, but hold onto your logic. We're searching for life's answers, not trying to win a debate on Twitter. Just a heads up, while Mercury is vacationing in Sagittarius, we might feel a bit...shall we say, loose-lipped? It's like we've all had a truth serum cocktail, and things could slip out before we've checked if they're true or considered if they might accidentally hurt someone's feelings. So, be sure to engage your brain before you put your mouth in gear, or you might end up looking like a cosmic clown. Sagittarius, the celestial explorer, signals a time of endless opportunities. So while Mercury is road-tripping through this constellation, it's the perfect time to expand your horizons. Maybe plan that trip you've always wanted to take, sign up for a new class, or even start a new job. The universe is your oyster, my friends and remember, the stars might influence our lives, but we still control how we navigate our spaceship. Happy stargazing!

Venus Is In Scorpio

Venus in Scorpio - Alien Remix

Attention earthlings! Your friendly neighborhood Venus has taken a detour and is currently chilling in Scorpio's backyard. We're talking about the celestial equivalent of swapping out your pumpkin spice latte for a double shot of espresso - it's gonna be intense!

Venus, our galactic social butterfly, has decided to buddy up with brooding Scorpio. This might sound like a plot from a cosmic sitcom, but trust me, it's no laughing matter. This pairing is like if Romeo and Juliet decided to go on a spelunking adventure - deep, dramatic, and likely to leave you questioning some life choices.

Now, I'm not saying you're gonna start obsessing over your crush like a teenager who's just discovered love songs, but... okay, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's time to trade in those candy crushes for some real heart palpitations. Love is gonna get real, folks, whether you're ready or not.

And remember those annoying relationship issues you've been avoiding like spoilers for the final season of Game of Thrones? Well, Venus in Scorpio is about as subtle as a fluorescent pink elephant in a tutu. It's time to shine a UV light on those shadows and deal with the gory details. Financial concerns? Power struggles? They're all coming out to party.

But hey, don't panic! It's not all doom and gloom. Sure, Venus in Scorpio can feel like you're doing emotional squats, but it's also a chance to strengthen your bonds. If you're prepared to face the music, this could be a transformative time that brings you closer to your partner. Think of it as couples therapy, but cheaper and with more stargazing.

So buckle up, space cadets! Venus in Scorpio is here to shake things up and it's going to be one hell of a cosmic ride!

Mars Is In Sagittarius

Mars In Sagittarius: The Nerdy Astrologer Strikes Back!

Alright, space cadets, buckle up your seat belts! Because Mars, that fiery red planet, has decided to take a joyride through the constellation of Sagittarius, the celestial Centaur. And let me tell you, things are about to get as interesting as a lightsaber duel on Tatooine.

Sagittarius, being the galaxy's resident optimist and boundary snubber, is all about living life in widescreen. When Mars tags along, we all get a dose of this "live large and let live" philosophy. It's like suddenly swapping your old droid for a Millennium Falcon - everything just looks and feels grander, possible, and a bit more... Star Wars-y.

With Mars in the driver's seat, Sagittarius isn't just dreaming big but also has its foot on the gas pedal, ready to turn those visions into reality. Picture Luke Skywalker charging into the Death Star – that’s us, ready to conquer any obstacle with a confident grin. But hold onto your Ewoks, folks! We could get a tad too focused on the future and forget to live in the present moment. Remember, the Force is always with you, right here, right now.

While we're all feeling the rush of galactic adrenaline, there's a chance that we might get carried away. It's like eating one Death Star-shaped waffle too many – exciting but potentially disastrous. The key is to find balance, or as Yoda would say, "Moderation, you must remember."

This period also encourages us to learn, explore, and absorb everything like a curious Jedi on a mission. It's not just about collecting lightsabers – it's about understanding why they're blue or green or red. This is our chance to seek out different philosophies, cultures, and experiences, realizing that the galaxy isn't just full of Wookies and Stormtroopers. Each one of us is unique, just like every star in the sky.

Speaking of stars, Mars in Sagittarius is the perfect time for some interstellar exploration! And no, I'm not talking about a lazy trip to the sandy dunes of Jakku. I'm talking about real adventure – the kind that expands your mind and heart faster than the Millennium Falcon on hyperdrive. Of course, you don't have to hop on

Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Bull Ride

Listen up, star gazers! Jupiter, the big kahuna of wisdom and deep thoughts, has decided to bunk with Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn couch potato. Picture it like a wise old professor moving in with a bull-headed teenager who just discovered the joys of chilling. What could possibly go wrong?

When these two cosmic forces meet, it's like they're telling us, "Hey dude, chillax! That spirituality stuff you've been chasing is already inside you!" Like that last piece of chocolate you've been searching for, only to find it was stuck on your shirt the whole time. And with Jupiter going retrograde, it's like it’s moonwalking back into our lives to remind us of the wisdom we've been sitting on.

But hang on to your telescopes folks, because Jupiter in Taurus is not just about binge-watching philosophy documentaries. It's also the perfect time to roll up those sleeves and make some progress towards your dreams. You know that bucket list you keep forgetting about? Well, now's the time to dust it off and start checking things off. Remember, slow and steady wins the race, folks!

And let's talk money, honey. With Jupiter, the cosmic lottery ticket, hanging out in Taurus, the Wall Street of the zodiac, you might just find your piggy bank feeling heavier. But beware, Taurus loves to splurge and Jupiter is notoriously bad at setting boundaries. So before you turn your living room into a replica of the Starship Enterprise, remember to budget!

In a nutshell, Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic green light for both self-discovery and practical planning. So, whether you're reaching for the stars or just trying to balance your checkbook, remember to keep it fun, folks. After all, life's a cosmic journey, not a race!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 03 Pis 00' 21", moving at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 1534546771km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Hellooo, celestial seekers! This is your neighborhood psychedelic scientist, ready to steer you through the cosmos again. Today, let's talk about Saturn chillin' in Pisces. Imagine Saturn as the stern college professor with a heart of gold and Pisces as the daydreaming art student. They're in a cosmic tango, my friends, and we’re all invited to the dance floor. Saturn, the big ol' taskmaster of the cosmos, is currently floating through the dreamy realm of Pisces, 1,534,475,602.942451477km away (give or take a few kilometers for cosmic traffic). And guess what? He's prograde – that's space-talk for moving forward. So, if you've been dreaming about starting an Etsy shop for your macrame plant hangers, now's the time to wake up and make it happen! This Saturn-Pisces combo is like getting life advice from Yoda and Dumbledore at the same time. It's going to push us to dig deep, face our fears, and turn our wildest dreams into reality. Buckle up, because it's business planning season, baby! Budgets and loan options might not sound sexy, but trust me, there's nothing hotter than manifesting your dreams. Now, don't get defensive when Saturn starts snooping around your dreamland. It might feel like your psychic boundaries have been breached, but remember, Saturn is like a cosmic life coach. He's not here to judge, he's here to help you clean up your act. So, let down your guard, roll out the welcome mat, and listen to what ol' Saturn has to say. But be warned: With Saturn stirring up the Piscean pond, you might experience some sleep disruptions. You know, the kind where you're trying to count sheep, and they start asking you about your five-year plan. To combat this, I recommend some good ol' hippie remedies: meditate, commune with nature, practice deep breathing, and nap with a dream journal nearby. Remember, folks, we're not just stardust – we're stars on a cosmic journey of self-discovery. So, pay attention to the wisdom Saturn in Pisces is offering, and let's make those dreams a reality! Happy star-gazing!

Uranus is retrograde at 19 Tau 26' 47", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2833381838km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: A Cosmic Comedy

Alright, stargazers, brace yourselves - because Uranus has checked into the cosmic hotel known as Taurus and it's not exactly a five-star resort. Think more... budget motel with questionable room service. You see, Taurus is the cosmic equivalent of that one friend who likes to have everything meticulously planned, while Uranus is like the wild cousin who turns up uninvited, chugs all the beer and starts a conga line in the living room. So this is going to be interesting.

Now, Taurus is a whizz when it comes to money matters. It's like the Warren Buffett of the zodiac. But Uranus? It's more like a tech billionaire with a penchant for launching cars into space. So expect some major changes in the world of finance over the next seven years. We could see Bitcoin becoming the new dollar bill, banks replaced by blockchain, and the housing and stock markets doing the cha-cha-slide.

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, encouraging us to declutter our lives from financial burdens. Debts, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages - they're about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. We may also feel trapped by our material possessions. Like, do we really need seven different types of juicer?

During this transit, it's time to welcome change like you would a long-lost friend or a forgotten Amazon package. Uranus is here to liberate us from a life filled with more baggage than an airport carousel. And trust me, resisting won't help. It's like trying to argue with a cat - pointless and you'll probably end up scratched.

The good news is that the changes we make could lead us to a point of greater stability, like finding solid ground after a rollercoaster ride. So buckle up, stargazers. It's time to take a leap of faith and trust in the cosmic conga line.

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 02' 18", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4502361627km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Alright, stargazers and science enthusiasts, gather 'round because Neptune has decided to crash Pisces' party, and it's about as subtle as a supernova. Now, don't panic, I'm not talking about a literal cosmic collision - the insurance paperwork for that would be a nightmare. Instead, this is all about the mystical dance of planets and signs. Neptune, our solar system's resident king of the deep (and I'm not talking about the Mariana Trench) has settled into Pisces, a sign known for its emotional depth and spiritual inclinations. Picture Spock at a yoga retreat and you're halfway there. Now, you might think, "But Neptune is approximately 4.5 billion kilometers away! How can it affect me?" Well, my friend, remember when Pluto was downgraded from a planet? Yeah, those were dark times. The universe works in mysterious ways. The intermingling of Neptune's unifying energy with Pisces' focus on emotion and spirit is like getting a new pair of glasses after years of squinting. Suddenly, we're able to see the silliness of squabbling over whether Star Wars or Star Trek is better. Both are great, okay? Let's focus on the bigger picture here. This cosmic combo is essentially sending us an engraved invitation to explore what we can contribute to our collective progress. Maybe you've been sitting on a revolutionary idea, like socks with built-in climate control, or you've mastered the art of levitation during your meditation sessions. Now's the time to share these unique gifts! This is also the perfect opportunity to delve deeper into whatever spiritual path calls to you. Perhaps you've been curious about Wiccan spoon-bending rituals or have always wanted to build a shrine to Nikola Tesla in your living room. Go for it! Neptune in Pisces is all about channeling that sacred energy. Remember, though, while Neptune's stay in Pisces might feel like a cosmic support group, you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Reach out to others, share your insights, and who knows? You might just spark a new age of enlightenment... or at least invent a new yoga pose. Either way, I'd call that a win.

Pluto in Capricorn: The Cosmic Disco Ball

Alright folks, strap in your seatbelts (or just put on your favourite tie-dye t-shirt), because the cosmic disco ball, also known as Pluto, is doing its thing in the serious-as-a-tax-return sign of Capricorn. You know what that means? Well, even if you don't, I'll tell you... It’s like mixing Star Trek with Monty Python. It's weird, it's out there, but it's gonna be one heck of a ride!

See, both Pluto and Capricorn are so focused on success they could probably power a spaceship to, well, Pluto! But be careful, this doesn't mean you should channel your inner Sheldon Cooper and dismiss everyone else's ideas like they're the flat Earth theory. Remember, diversity in thinking is as important as the diversity in your comic book collection.

Pluto's all about dropping things that don't serve us anymore. Imagine it as a cosmic Marie Kondo, but instead of asking if an old t-shirt sparks joy, it's asking if your negative patterns are giving you anything besides stress eating and sleepless nights. Spoiler alert: They're not. So, it's time for some cosmic spring cleaning!

But remember, friends, this isn't just about throwing things away. It's about making space for the new, the exciting, the stuff that makes you feel like you've just discovered a new planet or cracked the code on a particularly tricky physics problem. So, as you venture into this transit, take it from your friendly neighbourhood astrologist: Be deliberate in what you destroy, and even more intentional in what you create. And maybe, just maybe, keep a towel handy... You know, in case of sudden intergalactic hitchhiking.

No poet with this aspect ever starved in a garret, or anywhere else, for that matter. You spend freely and convivially, and your abundant vitality makes it possible for you to keep going for a long time. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun trine Jupiter: Jupiter, the planet of mercy, confers an optimistic approach whenever there are life challenges to be met.

Mercury

Mercury

Mercury Conjunct Mars

Pour constructive energy and action into communication, writing, reading and anything of a mental nature. Do all your errands today. Your mind is active and it may be difficult at times to slow it down and relax. Your nerves are wound up and it may be necessary for you at some time today to force yourself to seek a quiet place and recoup your strength. Watch a tendency to argue with friends, display impatience, especially while driving, and to generally be on edge. Do not let your high energy level today cause you to become reckless or careless. Pay attention to the things you do and slow down a bit. Remember, discipline. You feel very self-assertive today. Do not let your ego ride roughshod over the people you deal with today. Control your temper AND your tongue. Avoid petty gossip and talking about people behind their backs.

 

Mercury

Mercury

Mercury Square Neptune

Confusion is likely today in your relationships with other people. Take care and read all the fine print. Stay away from taking permanent legal actions as your thinking is colored by who knows what. You may be suckered into something you don't want to do or don't believe in, so watch your step. Misunderstandings in communicating with others is possible. Remember, they may not be hearing what you are trying to say. Nervous anxiety and tension may make you feel listless today. Don't let your imagination carry you away.You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering. Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on your nature. Some of you are great storytellers.Sample interpretation from the Merlin report — Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in “your own little world” a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to “read” people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Donald Trump, Jim Bakker, Mae West, Spencer Tracy, Tom Snyder, Rich Little, Jack London, Bob Dylan; Oppositions – Bono (U2), Marlene Dietrich, Richard Chamberlain, Florence Henderson, Charles De Gaulle, Christian Dior.

Venus

Venus

Venus Sextile Pluto

Your emotions are deep and powerful. As they say, still waters run deep. Today might be a good day to redecorate or make other changes to your home with the hope of bringing greater beauty and harmony into your life. It's a good time to find new uses for old or discarded items which no longer serve your purposes. Emotional self-regeneration is possible with these energies.Instinctually, you observe others and have a strong feel for their motivations. You can use your sharp perceptions to quickly size up a person or situation, and to deal with either accordingly. Extremely resourceful, you are also excellent at determining the worth or value of material things. You can help others to discover their own worth as well. You are naturally attracted to relationships that transform you, that are growing and evolving, and that are intense. You can use your strong intuition and understanding of others for good or for bad, and this depends largely on other aspects in your chart. You are selective in taste, and highly devoted and passionate to the things (and people) you do love. Your charisma is strong and natural, often understated, and you can be quite persuasive.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Venus and Pluto have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate interpretations:+ You are powerful and magnetic. You have a magical charm for dealing with people. You have a universal love for people that is non-sectarian and non-judgmental. You are sustained by material abundance that comes from others at some time in this life and may have a sizable inheritance. When you get involved with a project you can really pour yourself into it with seemingly limitless energy. This energy evaporates when you aren’t involved in a project of personal importance. — Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report.Venus sextile Pluto or Venus trine Pluto: *You love deeply, passionately, and wholeheartedly, and others may find your intensity either extremely attractive or threatening. You are charismatic and can have a powerful emotional influence on others, especially [on potential romantic partners]. You may use your attractiveness to manipulate others, sometimes without even realizing it.~This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life – and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys. — Interpretation sample from the Heaven Knows What report.#Your powerful artistic gifts can provide the media for your spiritual expression. Sometimes you are driven by physical compulsion to produce tangible works. From the Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Prince Ranier, Prince Charles, Alice Faye, Bill Clinton; Trines – Bono (U2), Virginia Woolf, Leo Tolstoy, Donna Summer, John Steinbeck, Jessica Simpson, Harvey Korman, Bjork, Dick Clark, Brendan Fraser, Mia Farrow, Betty Ford, Michael J. Fox.

Mars

Mars Square Neptune

You may feel self-doubt and inadequacy today. You are probably extra sensitive today, so don't take offense where none is meant. If you are taking medication, remember that less is more because of your heightened sensitivity. Watch that people don't take advantage of you with a sob story or some deal that sounds too good to be true. Stay alert to people not telling you the whole story behind something. Take care of your physical self as your immune system might not be as strong today as usual.This is a challenging position, as you have difficulty trusting in your ability to go after things that you want in a direct manner. It may also be that you have difficulty pinpointing what it is that you want, or that part of you doesn’t feel you deserve it due to a basic lack of self-confidence. You fear rejection as well as criticism, and often use roundabout means to go after what you want.Your imagination is so powerful that it can be hard to trust your instincts. You easily imagine things going wrong, just as you easily fantasize about good things! Your desire nature is strong yet also very suggestible. You’re attracted to mysteries and intrigue. Sexual experimentation is likely, as you are forever addicted to sensuality and unusual or perhaps even what many would consider perverted sexual scenarios. However, your sensual appetite might be much like a bottomless pit, and you could find yourself forever in a state of wanting more, tiring of regular sexual scenarios quickly, and endlessly searching for the next sensation. If an addiction to fantasy is present, you can find yourself constantly chasing a new and more complicated fantasy. It is only when you get into touch with your heart and discover your true desires that you realize that sensations are merely sensations–not deeply satisfying or fulfilling.Fears of sexual inadequacy can be great with this position, and you may either deny yourself as a result, or overcompensate, seeking out experiences in which you are pretty much assured positive feedback. Some of you will experience both of these extremes in your lifetime. I have a client with this position who has a “trophy” wife, and she often denies him, and even belittles him, on a sexual level. He accepts this but “gets her back” behind her back, having serial affairs with women who are not considered as attractive for whatever reason and with whom he attempts to reclaim his power.One of the interesting things about this position is that if you are involved in immoral activities, guilt has a way of cropping up in unusual ways, and could lead you on a self-destructive path–and you might even know that you’re heading that way, yet you compulsively follow that path. Part of you might want to get caught! You might, for example, know in your mind that doing something is risky, yet you compulsively do it anyhow, perhaps even finding the challenge invigorating.Although you can be very creative at keeping your motives and personal agenda hidden–in fact, many of you seem on the surface of things to be quite gentle and yielding–you might eventually become resentful if you feel the need to resort to sneakiness in order to get what you want out of life. This is one of the things that has struck me as the most common characteristics of Mars-Neptune people. It’s not that they don’t get angry or show that anger. However, many will give in to another’s desires more often than not, yet become resentful of that person who seems to have control over them. Some will give up their power to a partner, for example, often taking the role as the one who gives in or gives up things in order to make the other happy. However, resentment for this builds, and while people with harmonious Mars-Neptune aspects more easily yield to others without anger for doing so, those with hard Mars-Neptune aspects are more likely to feel stepped upon, and to retaliate in covert ways. If you do feel resentment for giving up your power to someone else, learn to avoid giving it up unless you truly understand that you are doing it for yourself, and not for someone else. Resentments have a way of building and distorting themselves into ugly matter if you don’t deal with them properly and directly. You are often passive-aggressive in your approach to others, and this can cause a lot of problems in your life.You are usually found chasing a dream… or a fantasy. The former is probably the better path.Somehow, others are bound to eventually sense that you are not to be trusted, and this is often for good reason! You may not like to admit this to yourself, as you may have built excuses for your deceptive or sneaky behavior. However, adopting a more direct and assertive approach to life is something that you should be working towards. You will need to get over your feelings of guilt when you do adopt this approach. Learning to take responsibility for your actions, and to avoid blaming others for failures, is important.At your worst, you can be disorganized in your approach to life, easily procrastinating and lacking follow-through when you do begin a task. Some of the most important lessons you need to learn in life are self-control, self-assertion, and trust in yourself. At your best, you are a creative person with a powerful imagination and great stores of compassion.Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. You tend to swing from one extreme to the other–asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy. Passive-aggressiveness can be a problem in your life. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. You tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.You may lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You could suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area. However, this tends to change as you mature. As you overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the capacity for spiritual ecstasy.You may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married or simply hard to reach. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish her to be rather than as she really is. You may find that you lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex, or that the relationship is largely unfulfilling. Disappointments in love may be frequent, although this is also something that improves with age! You are an extremely imaginative lover, and you frequently engage in fanciful and intricate fantasies. This may sometimes interfere with “real life”, but if you channel this energy well, it can most certainly improve your sex life. Your imagination is powerful, but it can also get the best of you. You may imagine complex scenarios and get yourself all riled up about what your partner may have done when she wasn’t around! — Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Ben Affleck, James Barber, Erma Bombeck, Jimmy Buffet, Barbara Bush, Sandra Dee, Melissa Etheridge, Eddie Fisher, Jodie Foster, Conan O’Brien, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, Andy Warhol, Sharon Tate.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
