Moon Is In Sagittarius
Greetings, Star Gazers! Did you know that our beloved moon has decided to hit the road and take a vacation in Sagittarius? Yes, you heard it right! Our celestial neighbor is a whopping 388,877.842849463km away, which, in cosmic terms, is like popping out to the corner store for milk. You see, the Moon is much like that adventurous buddy of yours who can't sit still for a minute, always on the move, exploring the cosmos, one star sign at a time. And this time, it's Sagittarius - the archer, the explorer, the philosopher of the zodiac. And let's face it, who wouldn't want to hang out with Sagittarius? They're the life of the cosmic party, always full of stories from the far reaches of the universe. It's like going on an intergalactic road trip, without the hassle of refilling your spaceship's fuel tank. So, what does this mean for you? Well, it's the perfect time to channel your inner Sagittarius. Embrace the adventure, expand your horizons, ask deep existential questions like, "Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?" It's time to live life on the edge, just like our moon, who's currently chilling 388,877.842849463km away. And if the moon can do it, so can you! But remember folks, even in the vast expanse of space, there is no escaping the gravitational pull of responsibility. So yes, venture into the unknown, but don't forget to take out the trash and feed the cat. The universe is all about balance! Until next time, keep your telescopes pointed at the stars and your feet grounded on Earth... or any other planet that takes your fancy. Happy stargazing!

Mercury Is In Pisces
Oh, good intergalactic morning to you, space-time voyager! I've got some out-of-this-world news for you. Mercury, that cheeky little planet who's always got something to say, is doing the cosmic tango in the dreamy star-lit ballroom of Pisces. And before you ask, no, Mercury didn't take a wrong turn at Alpha Centauri. It's actually 201028569.672249913km away. Yes, I counted. Mercury, our galactic chatterbox, normally prides itself on data, details, and that oh-so-logical thinking. But Pisces? Well, Pisces would rather sip green tea with unicorns in a cloud castle, thank you very much. So, what happens when these two collide? It's like Spock at a Renaissance Fair - unexpected, but surprisingly enriching! While Mercury is playing Marco Polo in the nebulous waters of Pisces, our dreams might start to feel more like HD television than foggy reruns. Our thoughts become as loose as an astronaut's grip in zero gravity and our instincts, well, they're as strong as a Wookiee on steroids. With Pisces, we're diving into a cosmic lagoon of magic, fantasy, and idealism. It's like turning your brain into a TARDIS, bigger on the inside and capable of exploring all corners of the universe. Mercury in Pisces is like having a personal tour guide for the furthest reaches of our minds, shining a flashlight on fresh ideas, creative inspirations, and different ways of thinking. So, grab your psychic paper and sonic screwdriver because it's time to explore the unknown territories of your mind. Remember, in the words of the Doctor, "We're all stories, in the end." Make yours a good one.
Venus
Venus is in Aquarius

Venus Is In Aquarius
Ahoy, celestial voyagers! It's time to buckle up and adjust your telescopic sights because Venus, that saucy celestial siren, has shimmy-shammied her way into Aquarius. Now, just to clear up any misconceptions, that doesn't mean she's taken up water polo or developed a sudden fondness for fish. No, my friends, in astro-speak, Venus in Aquarius means love is about to get a whole lot more... interesting. Let's crunch some numbers, shall we? Venus, in all her glory, is hanging out at a cool 226398663.116867632km away. (And who said romance was dead?) She's currently doing the cosmic waltz in prograde, which is just a fancy way of saying she's moving forward. But enough with the astronomical small talk; let's dive into what this means for your love life. Venus in Aquarius is like mixing a high-tech sci-fi convention with a 60s love-in. It's... different. The line between friend-zone and end-zone suddenly becomes thinner than the plot of a bad soap opera. Your buddies? Yeah, they could be your next love interest. So, you might want to rethink that poker night and opt for a romantic comedy instead. Aquarius is the Spock of the Zodiac—logical, intelligent, and a tad emotionally distant. So, don't expect any melodramatic declarations of love or passionate serenades under your window. In this season, we're all about uniting with those who share our thoughts, not necessarily our heartbeats. If you're hitched, Venus in Aquarius will turn down the intensity dial and pump up the volume on honesty and friendship. It's less about candlelit dinners and more about supporting each other in saving the whales or reducing carbon footprints. Independent endeavors are encouraged, but remember to return to your partner with enriched experiences and tales of your exploits. For the lone wolves out there, it's time to unleash your inner social butterfly. Venus in Aquarius loves a good soiree, meetup, or march for a good cause. And, if you find yourself suddenly attracted to someone who wouldn't normally be your type, embrace it! Who knows, they might just be the Riker to your Troi. Lastly, in this phase of Venus in Aquarius, we're all about embracing the new, the modern, and the unique. So, splurge on that new gadget, try out that edgy
Mars

Mars is prograde at 14 Aqu 40' 16", moving at 0.78 degrees per day, and is 329280998km away and approaching.
Mars Is In Aquarius
Mars in Aquarius, it is
Now, my dear star-friends, Mars in Aquarius we find. A time it is, to fight for change, not with fists, but with the mind. Much like a Jedi using the force, you must channel your inner warrior source. Hold on to your telescopes and quantum physics textbooks, this ride might get a bit turbulent!
Fresh ideas, original plans, this transit is all about. Conventional thinking? Toss it out! The future is not a vague, distant nebula, but a star you're rocketing towards. Forget about the box, we're talking parallel universes here.
With Mars in Aquarius, injustices beam down like glaring supernovas. The underdog, often overlooked like Pluto in our solar system, now takes center stage. We see not just the black holes, but the wormholes to solutions. Time to crank up the revolution engine to warp speed, folks!
Following rules while Mars orbits free-thinking Aquarius is as hard as spotting Neptune with a toy telescope. Who would want to? Like a cosmic rebel rebelling against gravitational pull, shove aside the old ways. It's not about fitting into the Milky Way, it's about creating your own galaxy. Embrace the new, break the laws of physics, defy gravity. Ignite your rocket engines, it's time to explore the uncharted cosmos of your potential.
So buckle up, stargazers, as Mars takes us on this intergalactic journey. Remember, the force is with you, always!

Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Odd Couple
Alright, my cosmic cadets, get ready for a celestial dance that's more mismatched than Sheldon Cooper at a hippie commune. That's right - Jupiter, the big, gassy guru of wisdom is currently shacking up with Taurus, our steadfast, earthy overachiever. It's like a Star Trek marathon crashing into an HGTV home improvement show.
While this might sound as compatible as mixing Mentos and Diet Coke (don't try that at home, kids), it's actually a cosmic cocktail that can lead to some real groundbreaking stuff! With Jupiter's PhD in Deep Thought and Taurus' Master's degree in Getting Things Done, we're being given an opportunity to tap into our inner Yoda and actually use the Force for something other than flipping the TV remote from across the room.
Now, let's talk money, honey. Jupiter is basically the cosmic Oprah, handing out good luck and fortune like it's going out of style. And Taurus? Well, it's the zodiac's resident tycoon, always sniffing out opportunities for wealth. So, when these two get together, it's like hitting the jackpot in the cosmic lottery. But remember folks, always spend wisely. Indulging in a lifetime supply of chocolate may sound tempting, but your waistline might not thank you later.
So, as these two big shots hang out in the cosmos, we're reminded to slow down, dig deep and keep our eyes on the prize. And remember, even if the journey seems as long as a Lord of the Rings marathon, trust the process. After all, it's not just about the destination, but the epic adventure along the way.
So buckle up, space nerds. With Jupiter in Taurus, it's going to be a wild ride!
Saturn

Saturn Is In Pisces
Alright, my celestial comrades, grab your telescopes and strap on your space boots. We're diving nose-deep into the cosmic soup of Saturn in Pisces! Saturn, the cosmic equivalent of that strict but oddly endearing schoolteacher, has decided to take a dip in the dreamy waters of Pisces. This is like your favorite science fiction novel coming to life. If you've been daydreaming about inventing time travel or opening an intergalactic coffee shop, now's the perfect time to connect with that dream. But remember, this isn't just a whimsical fantasy. It's like a cosmic TED talk. Saturn is here to give you a reality check and make sure those dreams have some weight in the real world. So, while you're dreaming about serving espressos to extraterrestrials, don't forget to figure out how to actually brew the coffee in zero gravity. Now, let's be real. Saturn in Pisces is not exactly a walk in the park. It's more like a trek through an alien jungle – you never know what will pop out at you. You might feel a bit invaded, like Saturn is that annoying roommate who insists on cleaning your room while you're still in it. But instead of hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign, try opening the door and giving him a chance. You might find his advice (annoying as it may be) is just what you need. With all this celestial energy floating around, you might feel a bit restless. Sleep could become elusive, like a sci-fi plot twist that keeps you awake at night. Don’t panic! This is the perfect time to channel your inner hippie. Meditate, go for a long walk among the trees (or better yet, imagine you're strolling through an alien forest), breathe deeply, and sleep when you can. Maybe even treat yourself to an early night. And remember, just like the best sci-fi books, Saturn in Pisces is full of deep wisdom and profound insights. So, take a moment to listen to the whispers of the cosmos. They might just guide you to your next big adventure.

Uranus Is In Taurus
Uranus In Taurus: The Taurus Rodeo
Let's talk about Uranus in Taurus, folks. It's like inviting a disco-dancing, neon-clad, electric guitar-wielding alien to a traditional tea party. Taurus, our comfy-cozy, old-fashioned, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" sign is having its world rocked by Uranus, the planet of change, revolution, and "let's see what happens if we press this button!" Chaos theory just got a new poster child.
While Taurus is busy counting pennies and planning for retirement, Uranus strides in with a "YOLO" t-shirt and a brand new cryptocurrency that fluctuates more than a caffeine-addicted seismograph. The financial landscape might start looking like an Escher painting, but hey, who needs stability when you can have excitement, right?
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like your kooky aunt who insists on cleaning out your closet and donating half your stuff to charity. "But Aunt Uranus, I need my collection of vintage comic books!" you protest. "Nonsense!" she replies, "You need to liberate yourself from material possessions!" And before you know it, you're living a minimalist lifestyle and surprisingly, loving it.
So, buckle up and put on your best pair of dancing shoes because the Uranus in Taurus rodeo is here. It's going to shake things up, turn them upside down and likely leave us in a better place... eventually. Resistance is futile, change is inevitable, and let's be honest, it's going to be one heck of a ride!

Neptune In Pisces: The Cosmic Disco Ball
Alright, space cadets, we've got Neptune parked in Pisces and this big blue gas giant is so far away you'd need a StarGate or a really good Uber driver to get there. But don't worry, your GPS won't lose service because this cosmic disco ball is spinning in prograde - that's 'forward' for those of us who didn't ace astrophysics.
Now, Neptune in Pisces is like a spiritual X-ray machine, showing us the skeletons in our cosmic closets. It's like that moment when you finally clear your browser history and you're left staring at your real self in the reflection of your computer screen. Suddenly, all the petty squabbles and Earthly distractions look as thin as a Klingon's patience.
This celestial alignment is your wake-up call from the universe, ringing louder than your alarm clock after a night of binge-watching Stargate episodes. It's urging you to take stock of what you can bring to the intergalactic potluck. Maybe you've got secret skills as a peacemaker, or maybe you've got an idea to make the world a better place that's been sitting in the back of your brain like a forgotten packet of astronaut ice cream.
This is the perfect time to sign up for that online course in Wiccan basket weaving or to turn your living room into a makeshift Zen garden. You know, really dive headfirst into whatever speaks to your soul - just be sure to wear a helmet. The kicker? Neptune in Pisces is ready to back you up like a cosmic cheerleader, waving pom-poms made of stardust and encouraging you to share your quirky passions with the world.

The Madcap Master's Take on Pluto in Aquarius
Alright, my cosmic comrades, buckle up because our little underdog, Pluto, the sassy dwarf planet (oh, come on, we all know it's still a planet at heart), is hitching a ride through Aquarius and it's going to be as exhilarating as a Star Trek marathon during a caffeine binge.
So, let's break this down like an episode of Doctor Who with a timey-wimey plot twist. Pluto, our celestial equivalent of a phoenix rising from the ashes, is all about transformation. We're not just talking about swapping your skinny jeans for flared trousers or changing your coffee order from a latte to a cappuccino. No, no, no. We're talking about regeneration on a soul-deep level, like when the Doctor regenerates and suddenly enjoys eating fish fingers with custard.
Now, pair this with Aquarius, the zodiac's very own mad scientist, who's all about pushing boundaries and shaking things up, and you've got a recipe for some serious evolutionary leaps and bounds. Think quantum leaps in science and technology, space exploration, and maybe even the invention of a TARDIS (fingers crossed!).
But hang on to your sonic screwdrivers, because this isn't just about technological advancements. This transit is also about changing the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Imagine if our natural instinct was to think about what's best for everyone else, rather than just ourselves? Aquarius, the humanitarian of the zodiac, and Pluto, the transformer, are combining their cosmic powers to nudge us towards this fundamental shift in perspective.
So, my stargazing compatriots, are we ready to embrace this radical renaissance? Will we answer the call to become the best versions of ourselves for the sake of humanity? Or, in the words of the Doctor, "Do we have the courage to make a good Dalek?" Only time (and space) will tell.

The Sun
Sun Conjunct Mercury
You may feel like expressing yourself today through your thoughts and words. You feel a need to be heard, that you have something of importance to say. Say what is on your mind, but give equal time to others and listen to them. You might learn something new. Your thinking today should be sharp and focused.
The Sun
Sun Sextile Jupiter
Today should be a fortunate day for you. Your confidence and optimism are high. Today is a good day to put plans into action and to participate in group activities. Expand your horizons and pick up something new to learn. It's a good time to grow, to be generous and caring, and to reach out and make others happy. Ask your boss for a raise as those in authority are likely to be receptive today.Endowed with generosity and friendliness, these people appear to be lucky in life. They attract good things with a positive frame of mind and a charitable disposition. Rarely entirely “down and out”, people with Sun in harmonious aspect to Jupiter are usually well-received, helpful, and well-informed. They may enjoy travel and have a special affection for foreign places and people. They’re generally not very competitive people, and for the most part not combative either. As a result, they are usually well-liked.These people are usually good-hearted with strong morals and much faith in life and in people. They prefer to find good in situations and in people. They don’t have a lot of patience with those who break the rules, as they generally believe in order, equality, and the law. They generally make good on their promises, and the sincerity they exude can be trusted. Looking on the bright side is their forte–turn to these people for a pleasing dose of faith and optimism. They are quick to chuckle and can’t resist any appeal to their sense of humor. Some people with this aspect are downright jolly. Others are less conspicuous, but their faith in life and willingness to find humor in life are nevertheless obvious.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Hank Aaron, Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Evel Knievel, Shari Lewis, Carol Lewis, Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles – Prince Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis Presley.Alternate interpretations:Sun sextile Jupiter: Your life is apt to be blessed with more than your share of helpful friends, fortuitous connections, and doors opening to you at just the right time. Because you are usually willing to share and to give back to others in a generous way, you continue to generate successes in your life no matter how unfortunate prevailing circumstances are. Beware, however, of becoming an opportunist. — Interpretation from our Merlin Profile report.Sun sextile Jupiter: Your child is bent toward success, for he has a built-in sense of how to approach and unravel even the most difficult problems. Children born with this harmonious aspect often have a natural instinct for justice and the law, and generally know how to approach a problem from just the right angle. This ability could make your child a natural counselor or guide for others, in particular regarding vocational matters. This aspect also suggests the possibility of working with and helping older persons. Often this position indicates help received from others. Dynamic squares found elsewhere in the chart may bring out the positive sides of this position. The pitfall is too much ease, or a lack of ambition, a lack of humility, and/or expecting others to do the work. — Interpretation from the Child Star report (Boy).Sun sextile Jupiter: You find that spiritual discipline is as much a container for your being as it is the expression of your inner desire. Your perception of duty is to develop the endurance needed to weather emotional and material storms. — Interpretation from the Your Spiritual Path report.Sun sextile Jupiter: You have a sense of justice and an innate ability to understand the law, whether natural or manmade. Showing others the way through or beyond the problems in their lives comes easy, for you sense how to manipulate the opportunities of life. Lucky. — Interpretation from Zet Software.The Sun
Sun Conjunct Saturn
This transit is drawing your attention to living up to your responsibilities and doing your duty. You may feel limited and constrained today, but do not let that feeling keep you from living up to your obligations. Take care of business, then you will be truly free to do as you wish. Your energy level may be low, but do not use this as an excuse for not doing your best. Do not put limits and burdens on others. Guard against depression. You can accomplish quite a lot if you stay focused.
Venus
Venus Square Uranus
Unstable romantic infatuations and impractical or irresponsible attitudes and conduct in relationships should be guarded against. There is a desire to break free from binding partnerships. Impulsive spending may be your idea of breaking free. Be careful during this transit because you are probably not thinking with your head, only your heart, which is your wild side right now. Your behavior now may be so bohemian or bizarre that people turn against you. Settle down and apply self-discipline.The need for stimulation and the need to break the rules with regards to love and romance is apparent when Venus squares or opposes Uranus in the natal chart. These people can confuse their partners readily with their on-again off-again energy when it comes to matters of the heart. With the opposition, this is especially pronounced–when they are given too much space, they feel unloved, yet when they get the love they seem to crave, they can feel smothered by it. They can alienate partners by adopting an “I don’t care what you do” stance when they feel threatened. The truth is, they do fear rejection like anyone else, but they don’t always want to admit it, and they can turn quite cold when they suspect their partner doesn’t care. The energy of Venus-Uranus in hard aspect is embodied in the expression, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. When close to a loved one, they can eventually feel smothered or antsy if the relationship becomes too predictable. They can also detach themselves from living in the moment and enjoying the love they have. When apart, they feel more free to love. This aspect is common in the charts of people who maintain long-distance or otherwise erratic relationships. There can be abrupt beginnings and endings in relationships. They are not very “good” at endings–they can appear quite insensitive, aloof, and brusque. The “let’s be friends” attitude might hurt a partner who felt there was much more to the relationship. These people have a disdain for conventional, traditional, or otherwise “normal” relationships. They need to learn to balance their need for closeness and their need for freedom. They truly detest social pretenses, and insist on being sincere. Being well-liked takes second place to sincerity. There is a strong attraction to all that is different, and all that “shouldn’t” be done in love and in sex. Taste in clothing and art is unusual, original, and unique.There is a tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others, and there is marked emotional impulsiveness with these aspects. Their most successful relationships are unconventional ones. Whether they do so publicly or privately, they delight in defying convention. They tend to move on and outgrow friendships. Some possess considerable romantic charm and humor, and they can pretty much charm the birds out of the trees when they choose to do so! Their love feelings are easily aroused and their romantic relationships begin with suddenness. There is a marked inner craving for emotional excitement and a need to feel spontaneous and free.Alternate interpretations:Venus square Uranus or Venus opposition Uranus: *Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but they often end abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently – especially in your younger years. You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique, creative, or unstable people.#You tend to fall in love instantly, and you need to discriminate between passing sexual fancy and something that can last “forever.” As your intuition develops, you will be able to identify the difference more clearly. When you “fall,” that is a good time to marshal all your respect for yourself and your partner, and to take things one day at a time until you have forged a deep connection. From Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with the Venus in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Angelina Jolie, Diana Princess of Wales, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Corbin Bernsen, Naomi Campbell, Chevy Chase, Alice Cooper, Juliette Lewis, Anais Nin, Jean Piaget, Elvis Presley, Valerie Harper, Kirk Douglas, Johnny Depp, Barbara De Angelis, Kim Hunter, Tony Curtis, Carson Daly; Oppositions – Getrude Stein, Dionne Warwick, Sharon Stone, Carl Sandburg, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Pattinson, Deborah Kerr, Jack London, Jesse Jackson, Sean Connery, Ian Fleming, Ellen DeGeneres.Mars
Mars Square Jupiter
Today is not the day to gamble or to take chances. You may be feeling over-optimistic and that optimism is not warranted today. You may be inclined to promise more than you can deliver. Pull in your reins a little and don't expect too much. Stay in control of yourself and remember "a man's got to know his limitations." Work off extra energy safely through physical exercise. Put off business deals until this aspect is over. Then, review your plans to make sure every thing is on the up and up. Don't be rash as this could lead to accidents. Take your time and be patient. Control your impulsive spending.This aspect brings great impulsiveness, insatiable desires, playfulness, and daring. You might be frequently trying to prove yourself, to others and/or yourself, and thus readily take on a challenge. You desire exciting experiences and may rarely be satisfied with your life as it is. You require much space and freedom, and you demand to be treated with fairness. You need to be careful that your behavior is deserving of these liberties, and that you treat others with the same respect. Many people with this position tend to flee when angry. This is not because they are afraid of confrontation, because they certainly are not, but when they are frustrated, a deep inner restlessness is stirred. Some people with this position can be quite self-serving, often without even realizing it, demanding freedom and space from others but not necessarily returning the favor.Another negative expression of Mars square Jupiter and Mars opposition Jupiter is a haughty or boastful attitude–some with this aspect in their birth charts feel they can get away with practically anything. Often they can, and even when they don’t, they are quick to recover from losses. However, this is generally due to a tendency to turn a blind eye to what has happened. Here again is the tendency to flee rather than reflect. They are quick to forget or ignore their mistakes, thus the chances of repeating them run high!Your impulsiveness combined with a competitive streak can incline you to gambling, not just with money. Your sex drive is considerable, and some with this position never feel they have enough, or enough experiences, which can lead to sexual promiscuity for some. You would benefit greatly from more time for self-reflection, as you don’t always see your behavior clearly. When you don’t learn from your mistakes, you repeat them.You are attracted to adventure, exploration, and conquest. There is a real spirit of adventure with Mars-Jupiter aspects, but because these planets are in challenging aspect, there can be difficulty knowing when to stop, and slowing down long enough to feel satisfied with one’s accomplishments. Dieters are encouraged to slow down while eating a meal so that they can know when they are full and satisfied. If they eat too quickly, they are likely to eat more than they need. Similarly, people with Mars in hard aspect to Jupiter would benefit from slowing down and reflecting on their experiences so that they avoid living life feeling they have never had enough. This can also help to avoid this position’s tendency to be accident-prone. Males with this position might be difficult to domesticate! There can be exaggerated “masculine” traits, including an insatiable need to “hunt”.You are very resilient, bouncing back from any setback quickly and usually in a stronger position. You are quite playful and humorous, love to joke around, enjoy practical jokes, and are quick to smile and laugh.Interpretation sample from the KidZone report – Mars opposition JupiterThe native has the feisty planet Mars in opposition to the expansive planet Jupiter. This is a very positive aspect. The native will have lots of energy and lots of optimism, with an enthusiasm that attracts. However, these little ones may have some difficulty getting along with people because they are naturally competitive rather than co-operative. This competitiveness is not aggression. These youngsters simply enjoy a good spirited contest. But they would find life so much easier if they did not treat everything and everyone as competition.This aspect can signify athletic ability. The child will definitely need an outlet for abundant physical energy. Where better than through some sort of physical sport? The natural competitive nature will be more easily accepted in this sort of atmosphere too. This child will be very restless and need a lot of freedom. These kids will not like anyone holding them back or placing restrictions upon them. The outdoors will appeal to this sense of freedom.These kids may be rather clumsy, especially while they are young. There could be a tendency to be accident-prone. The main problem is that this child is in too much of a hurry. These youngsters get too carried away in the excitement of the moment. ‘Less haste – more speed’ could be a good motto for this little one.The onset of puberty will be exciting for this child but the compulsive urge to grab every opportunity that comes along can be a source of total exhaustion that will be ignored. Relating to [love interests] will be relatively easy, but some lessons on taking sexual responsibility will be needed. When the child grows up and forms close relationships with [love interests], a sense of freedom will be important. These individuals react aggressively when they feel emotional stress. They will always tend to act impulsively. Any partner will have to give this child plenty of personal space, and perhaps be prepared for him or her to have some rather dictatorial views.Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report – Mars square Jupiter or Mars opposition Jupiter: You are enterprising, ambitious, and have a strong desire to succeed in a big way. Ever on the look out for new opportunities and promising new ventures, you are willing to take risks if you sense that something is going to be a winner. No matter how much you accomplish, you never seem to be completely satisfied. You always feel you can do more, and set your sights on another goal. You feel frustrated in limited circumstances, and you will leave secure and reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges and potential for growth and expansion in the future. You like to keep stretching your limits, to see how far you can go. Sometimes you over-extend yourself or promise more than you can actually achieve, due to an overly optimistic or overly confident assessment of your own capacities. You relish healthy competition and feel that it spurs you on to even greater achievements.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report – Your spiritual interaction with other people is generally quite fortunate in nature. You gain an understanding of a wide range of spiritual teachings through direct contact with others, and you develop the ability to resolve conflicts on all levels of business and personal life in this way.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report – You have broad, expansive goals and will not be content with humble achievements or success on a small scale. Enthralled with the joy of the conquest, your desires and enthusiasm may gallop away with you. You often do not know when you have had or done enough. Many things do come easily to you–athletics, leadership, creative efforts of all kind–and you are apt to have King Midas’s touch, especially early in life. However, this may lead to overconfidence or inflated expectations later on. In your work you are apt to be an overachiever with an overemphasis on physical and/or sexual adventure. Once again, not knowing when to stop or say no can be your downfall.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Vincent Van Gogh, Chuck Berry, Johnny Carson, Nat King Cole, Tim Conway, Marie Curie, Jessica Hahn, Diane Keaton, Michael Landon.
