Moon Is In Gemini

Well, hello fellow space cadets! The Moon has decided to shimmy its way into Gemini, and boy oh boy, does it have a surprise for us! It's currently 383,851.656494318 km away. Now, that might sound like a lot, but in cosmic terms, it's like your next-door neighbor inviting you over for a cup of alien tea. Gemini, the celestial twins, are known for their dual nature and quick wit. So, it’s like we have two moons instead of one, like a cosmic BOGO deal! Expect duplicity in your life, like finding two socks in the dryer instead of the usual one, or your boss suddenly being nice to you. Now channeling my inner Predator (sans the dreadlocks and thermal vision), I'd say, "The hunt is on!" But don't worry, not the kind where you're running for your life in a jungle. No, this hunt is for knowledge, communication, and networking. And maybe for that remote control you lost last week. Gemini loves to gab, so expect lots of conversations, texts, emails, maybe even a message in a bottle if you’re feeling particularly old school. While you're at it, just be careful not to spill all your secrets. Remember, discretion is the better part of valor, and in this case, not ending up on an embarrassing viral tweet. So, pull up your socks, charge up your brain cells, and get ready to juggle all the curveballs this Gemini Moon is about to throw. And remember, if things get too intense, there’s always the option to hide under your blanket and pretend you’re invisible, because, science or not, sometimes a good old ostrich strategy does the trick! Until next time, keep your telescopes handy and your minds open. The universe is wild, unpredictable, and filled with wonders, just like your Aunt Edna’s meatloaf. And remember, in the grand scheme of things, we're all just stardust with a dash of cosmic humor.

Mercury in Aquarius: An Intergalactic Revelation

Good day, fellow denizens of the cosmos! Your friendly neighborhood astrologer droid here, spinning tales of celestial mechanics with all the charm and humor of C3PO (but thankfully, without the incessant worrying). Now, let's peer into our metaphorical telescopes and behold that tiny, speedster planet Mercury making its grand tour through the progressive, envelope-pushing sign of Aquarius. Indeed, just as the Millennium Falcon in hyperdrive, our thoughts and ideas are set to warp speed ahead, bypassing the realm of "what is" and catapulting us into the exciting dimension of "what could be". So, don't panic if your brain starts producing ideas that make Einstein's theory of relativity look like a toddler's doodles, it's just the Mercury-Aquarius effect. Now, Aquarius has always been the galaxy's top-notch, unflappable diplomat, adept at not letting pesky emotions cloud its judgement. Therefore, with Mercury in Aquarius, we're gifted with the chance to view our closely-held beliefs, passionate flings, and heated arguments through an analytical, Vulcan-like lens. Yes, my cosmic travelers, get ready for a series of "Eureka!" moments worthy of a Nobel prize—or at least a well-placed meme on your social media feed. However, heed this caution from your science-loving, flower child astrologer: the cerebral might of Mercury in Aquarius can sometimes overshadow our feelings, reducing them to mere data points in an emotional algorithm. It's like trying to compute love using only binary code—rather tricky! In other words, there's a risk that we might temporarily misplace our empathy chips during this transit, becoming more robotic than human. So, remember to handle your conversations with the same care as you would handling a lightsaber or a thermal detonator. The galaxy will thank you! May the force (and the favorable astrological transits) be with you, always!

Venus Is In Aquarius

Geek Alert! Venus In Aquarius

Whoa, nerds and astro-geeks! Venus has just entered the cosmic neighborhood of Aquarius and it's like she's put on a pair of Clark Kent glasses and a Spock ears. We're talking about love and friendship blurring together like a Starfleet officer falling for a green-skinned alien beauty. Suddenly, your "just friends" start looking like they've stepped out of a RomCom holodeck simulation. Dating advice 101: Don't beam away from social outings - you might just meet your perfect match.

Now, Aquarius isn't your typical mushy, lovey-dovey sign, it's more a Vulcan when it comes to emotions - logical and detached. So, while Venus is in Aquarius, expect less candle-lit dinners and more philosophical debates over Star Wars vs Star Trek. It's not standoffish, it's just that Aquarius' approach to love is as uncomplicated as Sheldon Cooper explaining the theory of relativity. Now, if you're a fan of the warm and fuzzy stuff, this might seem colder than a Wampa's cave. But hey, this non-possessive vibe can give your relationship a breath of fresh air...and who doesn't want that?

For those of you who are as committed as Frodo was to destroy the ring, Venus in Aquarius encourages you to reconnect with your partner over shared hobbies, like binge-watching the entire MCU or debating who the best Doctor Who is. And for those of you who like to fly solo, prepare to teleport into the dating scene with an unconventional flare that matches your favorite comic book character. Parties, meetups, even comic cons could be the place where you find your next Player 2. And who knows, you might even find yourself attracted to a type you've always overlooked. Just remember: the more open-minded, the better your chances of leveling up in love.

While Venus is in Aquarius, we're all drawn towards modern, unique styles. You might find yourself cosplaying on a Wednesday or splurging on that limited edition action figure you've had your eye on. Embrace it! After all, who says love and nerdy can't go hand in hand?

Mars

Mars is in Aquarius

Mars is prograde at 03 Aqu 05' 01", moving at 0.77 degrees per day, and is 337867036km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Aquarius

Well, buckle up me little star gazers because our cosmic buddy Mars has decided to take a vacay in Aquarius! Now, I know what you're thinking: "What does this mean for my Netflix schedule?" Well, let me tell ya, this is like the ultimate plot twist in your favorite sci-fi series. So here's the skinny. Mars, the red planet, the big ol' celestial warrior, is taking a dip in the cosmic pool of Aquarius, the water bearer. Now, normally Aquarius is cool as a cucumber, not one to get all hot under the collar, but with Mars doing its planetary cannonball? Oh boy, it's like your mild-mannered librarian suddenly decided to start a punk rock band. During this cosmic concert, the universe is handing us a golden ticket to think like we've never thought before. I'm talking Einstein meets Picasso on a rocket ship to Pluto kind of thinking. Forget about the box, folks. Heck, forget there was ever a box to begin with. Injustices? Societal problems? Tsk-tsk, they’re about as welcome as a Klingon at a Starfleet convention. Aquarius, our humanitarian hero, is all about rooting for the underdogs, and with Mars stirring things up, we have the power to not only see the problems but also create solutions. It's like having a sonic screwdriver in a world full of locked doors. And who needs rules when Mars is doing a cosmic conga line through Aquarius? This is the time to be the rebel, to shove tradition aside like old pizza boxes after a gaming marathon. Embrace a new approach, channel your inner Tony Stark, and remember, the cosmos is your oyster. So, grab your telescopes, put on your thinking caps, and let's make the most of this planetary party. And remember, in the words of the great Spock, "Change is the essential process of all existence." Beam me up, Mars!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 09 Tau 18' 10", moving at 0.14 degrees per day, and is 781491279km away and receding.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Greetings, star gazers! Put on your nerdiest of spectacles and grab a cup of cosmic tea because guess what? Jupiter has just RSVPed to Taurus' slumber party. Yes, you heard it right! The celestial giant, Jupiter is taking a sojourn in the comfy abode of Taurus, and boy oh boy, things are about to get interesting! Now, Jupiter is the Yoda of our solar system - wise, expansive, and always up for a good philosophical chat. And when it snuggles up with Taurus, the galaxy’s most steadfast couch potato, it’s like Luke Skywalker finally getting his hands on that elusive lightsaber manual. All the knowledge you've been seeking is suddenly within arm's reach, nestled between the old remote and the popcorn crumbs. This cosmic mash-up is a golden opportunity to channel your inner Jedi, and make some real progress towards that Death Star-sized dream you’ve been harboring. With Jupiter providing the fuel of ambition, and Taurus calmly guiding the controls, it's time to tick off those galactic bucket list items one by one. Jupiter in Taurus is like finding a hidden stash of credits in your old space boots. Jupiter, the celestial Santa Claus, and Taurus, the intergalactic tycoon, can bring a hefty dose of prosperity your way! But remember, my friends, with great power comes great responsibility. Taurus is a bit like Jabba the Hutt when it comes to indulging in life's pleasures, so when Jupiter rolls in, we might be tempted to swap our needs for Wookiee-sized wants. So, as we navigate through this celestial event, let's remember to keep our impulses in check, lest we end up encased in carbonite (or worse, stuck with a maxed-out credit card). Embrace the wisdom, enjoy the prosperity but don't forget to keep your cosmic balance in check. May the force (and Jupiter in Taurus) be with you!

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn in Pisces: Enter the Dream Realm...or the Twilight Zone?

Ah, my star-crossed friends, our ringed friend Saturn has just sashayed into Pisces, the zodiac's resident dreamer. Like a cosmic version of ‘Obi-Wan’ Kenobi, Saturn is here to guide us through the mystical realm of our dreams and aspirations, whispering in our ears, "This is the path you're looking for". But be warned, this isn't a simple walk in the park...it's more like a rollercoaster ride through the universe's biggest theme park.

Now, I know what you're thinking - "Is this some sort of interstellar intervention?" Well, it might feel like that when our cosmic father figure Saturn starts snooping around your daydreams. It's as if he's telling us, "These dreams aren't going to manifest themselves, kiddo". So, instead of hanging the "Do Not Disturb" sign and hiding under the bed, let's embrace this opportunity to bring some order to our dreamland chaos.

Now, with Saturn in Pisces, you might find yourself tossing and turning at night like a fish out of water (see what I did there?). But fear not, my fellow insomniacs. This is a fantastic time to channel your inner hippie and find your zen. Meditate, stroll through an enchanted forest, breathe like you're on the beach of a distant planet, or even take a nap (don't forget your dream journal!). Maybe even hit the hay early - after all, who knows what celestial secrets you'll uncover in slumberland?

So buckle up, space cowboys and cowgirls. With Saturn in Pisces, we're in for a deep-dive into the depths of our dreams. Here's hoping we surface with something more than a wet blanket and some sand in our shoes. Welcome to the dream realm, may the force (or Saturn’s gravitational pull) be with you!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 16' 51", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2951955271km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, celestial travelers! Gather round and let me spin you a tale, straight from the cosmic loom. Uranus, that quirky, off-kilter planet of ours is currently sashaying its way through Taurus, a zodiac sign known for its love of stability more than any fun facts about quantum physics. Now, I know what you're thinking. A Taurus, with their affinity for routine, comfort, and a good nap, hosting the rebellious rockstar of our solar system? Sounds like a sci-fi sitcom waiting to happen! But fear not, the universe has a sense of humor too, and it seems it's lined up a real shindig for us. You see, the otherwise tranquil Taurus is being nudged out of its cozy corner by Uranus, which is all about shaking things up. It's like the stubborn bull has been thrust into a cosmic disco, and Uranus is playing the DJ. Goodbye, quiet nights in front of the TV, hello, intergalactic rave! In the Taurus realm, money rules supreme. And with Uranus strutting in, we could see some radical transformations in how we handle our moolah. We might see new forms of currency popping up - perhaps we'll start trading in stardust or quasar coins! Banks could get a space-age makeover or even disappear, while the housing and stock markets might just do the cha-cha-cha under Uranus' influence. On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is urging us to break free from the shackles of money. Debt, bills, taxes - they're like black holes sucking in our finances. But Uranus is here with a cosmic crowbar to pry us away from these monetary woes. This transit wants us to rethink our relationship with material possessions. It's like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to evaluate whether our wealth truly sparks joy or just loads us up with more space junk. So brace yourselves, earthlings! This Uranian roller coaster ride might be a bit bumpy, but it's sure to land us in a better place. So let's boldly go where no Taurus has gone before, and remember, resistance is futile! Change is the only constant in this universe after all. We're all stardust, baby!

Neptune Is In Pisces

Neptune, my friends, is currently hanging out in Pisces. Now, I know you're probably asking, "What does that even mean? Is Neptune hosting a cosmic cocktail party with Pisces as the honored guest?" Well, let me put on my astrophysicist hat...just kidding, I don't have one. But if I did, it would probably be green and covered in glow-in-the-dark stars. Now, where was I? Oh, right! Neptune in Pisces. So, as our blue giant friend, Neptune, is chilling about 4.6 billion kilometers away from Earth (give or take a few million kilometers because, hey, sometimes we all need some space), it's going through a phase we like to call prograde. Don't worry, it's not as serious as it sounds. It's just astrologer-speak for "Hey, Neptune is moving in the same direction as most other things in the universe!" Now, this has some pretty cool implications for us down here on Earth. You see, Neptune hanging out in Pisces gives us what I like to call "super vision." That's right – think of it as your own personal pair of X-ray specs that let you see through all the nonsense and really understand what's important. Imagine going about your day and suddenly realizing how pointless all the bickering and arguing is. You start seeing the beauty of unity, of coming together like a cosmic jigsaw puzzle. That's Neptune in Pisces working its magic! This planetary combo is like the universe's way of handing you a golden ticket and saying, “Here, you're invited to contribute to our collective progress and healing.” Pretty cool, huh? You've got unique gifts, ideas, dreams, and now it's time to share them. So, my advice? Use this time to dip your toes into something spiritual, or maybe set up a little sacred space in your home. And remember, as you're exploring all this, Neptune in Pisces is cheering you on from the sidelines, encouraging you to share your insights with the world. Remember folks, we're all just stardust navigating this grand cosmic journey together. So, let's make the most of it and let Neptune in Pisces guide us toward unity and understanding.

Pluto In Aquarius: A Nerdy, Hippie Take

Alright, stargazers, time to don your favorite Star Wars merch, because we're entering a cosmos scene that's about as transformational as Anakin Skywalker turning into Darth Vader. Yes, folks, Pluto is doing its dance in Aquarius, and let me tell you, it’s more epic than any lightsaber duel in the galaxy.

Now, if you're not familiar with the astrological equivalent of this sci-fi plot, let me break it down for you. Pluto is the planet of transformation - think serious, soul-searching, identity-crisis level transformation. It's like the Yoda of our solar system, urging us to let go of old ways and embrace the new. And then there's Aquarius - the sign that embodies progress and forward-thinking, kind of like R2-D2 beeping out unexpected wisdom in binary.

So, what happens when these two celestial forces collide? Well, picture Luke Skywalker training under Master Yoda while R2-D2 provides indispensable assistance. That's the kind of deep, transformational change we’re talking about. It's like we're all getting an upgrade to our inner droids, making us more efficient, enlightened, and attuned to the needs of the universe.

Expect to see huge advancements in science, technology, and maybe even space travel! Heck, maybe we'll even invent lightsabers (safety first, though!). But more importantly, be ready for shifts in humanitarianism and civil rights. It's like the Rebel Alliance forming right here on Earth - people working together for a better future, breaking down barriers and forging new paths.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is pushing us to reevaluate our place in the world. It's asking us to be a bit more like R2-D2 - always considering the bigger picture, and putting the needs of others first. It’s about embracing that inner Jedi, finding balance, and contributing to the Force (or, you know, humanity).

So, will we answer the call? Well, in the words of a certain wise droid, "beep boop beep!" Translation: Heck yeah, we will!

Avoid hasty speech and things said in anger in the heat of the moment. Impractical ideas, nervousness, irritability and unexpected disruptions are what you may have to deal with today. There may be sudden changes in travel plans. Be extra cautious while traveling as accidents are possible through carelessness and impatience.You possess a quick mind, you are very intuitive, and you require a great deal of mental stimulation to keep from feeling bored. Preferring to be self-directed, you don’t always take advice easily. There is a part of you that loves to shock, challenge, and instigate with the things you say; however, this may not be a conscious process. Your mental energy and output is extremely variable–one day you might be capable of enormous effort and interest in a project, and the next day the opposite. This is largely due to the fact that you feel a strong need to be true to your instincts and intuition, and if you are not absolutely inspired, you don’t feel right working on a project–you might feel that you are “faking” it, and this doesn’t sit well for you. The problem is that in life there are always going to be routine tasks to complete, things we have to do that don’t entirely suit our interests, and so forth. School years may be challenging as a result of your disdain for a linear approach to learning, routine tasks, and subjects that don’t inspire you, not because of any lack of mental ability. In fact, you can have real flashes of genius and your ideas and perspectives are often very original. At times you can be very dogmatic. You have a tendency to be, or to appear to be, scatterbrained. Your attention span can be short, and as a result, you might often leave projects unfinished. At times you can have an irritable temper and need to channel some of your nervous energy into constructive pursuits. Take time to reflect on what you truly believe in, because many times you are too busy challenging established thought, or playing devil’s advocate, to get in touch with your own opinions and feelings. This way, your intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity can come shining through.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Sigourney Weaver, Oliver Stone, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, Drew Carey, Bjork. Oppositions – Howard Stern, Voltaire, Henri Matisse, Billy Jean King, Robert Browning, Charles Chaplin, Danny DeVito.

Venus

Venus Conjunct Mars

There is a desire for love, beauty, relationships, and things that feel good. Desire is strong today and this includes the desire for the opposite sex. Be considerate of others today as you may express yourself too strongly. Use your creative energies and get involved with the arts, music or the theater. How about making a special meal for your significant other? Watch your spending today as you may feel tempted to overindulge and be too extravagant. Curb your potential for eating too much rich, sweet, or spicy food. Moderation is the key. Be refined and charming around women. Do not get involved in petty gossip or in competition with the women you know. Have fun at a social gathering, but remember, don't come on too strong or let your opinion of yourself swell so as to become overbearing and obnoxious.For people with a Venus-Mars conjunction in their natal charts, the blending of the feminine and masculine energies within is a natural process, although other aspects to the conjunction will tell the whole story as to how this is done. These people possess personal magnetism in spades. They live and breathe romantic/sexual relationships. It is generally easy for them to form relationships, unless the conjunction is severely afflicted. They ooze sexuality, and they are generally quite impulsive with regards to entering new relationships. Relationships are not only important to them, they require a fair amount of excitement, adventure, and passion in their pairings in order to feel alive and vital. With this conjunction, there is generally a pleasing blend of self-assertion and cooperation. This comprises some of their charm, in that they generally know how to assert themselves without stepping on others’ toes. In some cases, men with this aspect may be too dominating in romantic situations, and might gain a reputation for being “macho”. This is not always the case, however. For the most part, these people are quite direct about what they want in a relationship, and they are quite passionate when it comes to going about getting what they want. It can be a challenge maintaining perspective when it comes to relationships. These people are generally highly creative and are bent on finding outlets for their creativity. Their vitality and warm energy is something that can be felt by others, as if it lies just below the surface.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Mars: Barry Bonds (in Gemini), Carmen Electra (in Gemini), Bette Davis, James Caan (in Taurus, also conjunct Uranus), Sally Field, Eva Gabor (in Pisces), Merv Griffin (in Leo), Kris Kristofferson (in Gemini), Bruce Lee (in Scorpio), Courtney Love (in Gemini), Peter O’Toole, Al Pacino (in Gemini), Stefanie Powers (in Scorpio), Sting, Uma Thurman (in Gemini), Vincent Van Gogh (in Pisces), Harry Hamlin (in Virgo), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, conjunct the Ascendant).

Venus

Venus Conjunct Pluto

Your love nature may be particularly charged with emotion and desire. Possessiveness and jealousy are possible. Power struggles may be a part of your close relationships. Resist the urge to control your partner. Intense change in romantic relationships is possible.Your emotions, particularly when it comes to feelings of love and attachment, run very deep. Your personality is magnetic, and you tend to arouse strong feelings in others, who may find you intriguing or somehow offensive! And all of this before you even open your mouth.In love, you can be quite possessive and possibly obsessive. At the root of obsessive feelings are deep fears of rejection, loss, and betrayal. Your feelings often run hot or cold–your love nature is generally extreme. It’s hard for you to detach yourself when it comes to personal relationships, and this sensitivity comes from a tendency to take things very much to heart. You are certainly most charming when you want to be. Love relationships turn your world upside down. You are likely to experience love at first sight, as you tend to work on instinct when it comes to affairs of the heart. Your relationships often feel fateful. You easily put pressure on your partner, as you expect much loyalty and honesty in your intimate relationships. Be careful not to let your relationships get to a point where your partner is superfluous and you are working through your own inner demons through him or her. Certainly, you will learn much about yourself through your relationships, and you may not always like what you see. You will meet yourself (the “darker” side or inner demons) through your relationships, and it will be critical that you recognize it as your own “material” and not project it onto your partner. On another level, you may have a talent for drama, writing lyrics, music in general, and finance.Alternate interpretations:~You are extremely loyal to and solicitous of those you love, without a cloying sentimentality. Your values and thoughts center on love, which can easily become the hub of your life. Early in a relationship, you are apt to be jealous and possessive, but with time and experience this can be transformed into a higher, more mature type of attachment. You are willing to give your all to your beloved but demand the same in return. Your strongest desire is for an all-consuming love that will bring you satisfaction on all levels: emotional, physical and spiritual. With aspects to Mars or Neptune, there could be a preoccupation with or compulsive attitude toward sex. — Interpretation sample from the Heaven Knows What report.+ You may not be particularly sentimental but if you love someone, you love them completely and forever. You live on the emotional extremes. People are either important to you or they don’t even exist. Your feelings are deep and volcanic. You love power and control which is fine if you have learned to control yourself. You are magnetic and surrounded with an aura of mystery. You deal with groups and group resources. You may have leadership in some creative project or in some financial enterprise. You polarize people: they either love you or hate you but are seldom indifferent to you. — Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report.*You have deep, compelling love feelings that seem irresistible and often irrational. Your love relationships are very passionate and intense, and you experience both agony and ecstasy in love. You are always changed in a deep, fundamental way by your love experiences, though this may come about through painful and difficult confrontations or separations. You are something of an emotional fanatic about things you care about.#You are the stuff of saints and martyrs because you engage in your beliefs with a fanatical desire to conquer anyone in your path. A physical love relationship can make or break your spiritual connection, depending on your ability to nurture the depth of feeling. Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Pluto: Ian Scott Anderson (Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo), Charles Dickens (Venus conjunct Pluto in Pisces), Amelia Earhart (Venus conjunct Pluto in Gemini), Jessica Hahn (Venus in late Leo conjunct Pluto in early Virgo), Phil Hartman (Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo), Victor Hugo (Venus conjunct Pluto in Pisces), Jeremy Irons (Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo), Liberace (Venus conjunct Pluto in Cancer), Heather Locklear (Venus conjunct Pluto in Virgo), Barry Manilow (in Leo), Dr. Phil McGraw (in Leo), Olivia Newton-John (in Leo), Sean Penn (in Virgo), Julia Roberts (in Virgo), Sarah Ferguson (in Virgo), William Butler Yeats (in Taurus).

Mars

Mars Conjunct Pluto

You may be tempted to bully people into doing your will. The spirit of competition is strong, but try to be cooperative instead. Much can be accomplished if you will use your energies and your indomitable will together, in harmony. Do not try to control people or events. Concentrate on doing your best and things will work out the way they are supposed to. People who are coerced to do your will, will at some time try to even up the score. It's not worth it. Avoid power struggles and be aware that someone might try to control you. If so, all you have to do is stand up for your rights.Your ability to commit yourself to a task or goal is tremendous. When inspired, you are able to draw upon great stores of strength and determination. You can be so single-minded and focused that you readily lose yourself in a particular task, possibly to the point of obsession! You can be very skilled at investigation and research. Quite automatically, you are interested in what motivates and drives others, which can make you a natural psychologist. You might find that you constantly challenge yourself to take on more and to do more. You might watch this tendency if it seems to take over your life, as you may never feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Your stamina and endurance tend to be stronger than most.You don’t take kindly to others’ attempts to bully or push you, and you can be extremely stubborn when pushed. You are always especially aware of, and sensitive to, others’ use of power and authority. Resentment can be a problem and letting things go can be very challenging. Your gut reactions are rather intense and emotional in quality. As you mature, you are likely to learn that detaching yourself a little helps you to be more objective and constructive.You might have some fear of your own anger, assertiveness, power, and drive, particularly early in life if your intense nature has been misunderstood. You are not always forthcoming about your intentions and plans, and you typically strategize well in pursuit of a goal rather than go after what you want loudly and directly. While this means you can out-maneuver practically anyone, and although your determination is admirable, you might watch for a somewhat paranoid tendency to keep your plans to yourself if this stems from fear that your intentions will be misunderstood. Whether or not you choose to take advantage of others is entirely up to you. There is an “all or nothing” quality to your nature.

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.
