With Mars in Gemini, you'll feel a strong urge to explore and discover new things. However, don't be surprised if you find yourself struggling to stay focused on just one thing.

Greetings, fellow star travelers! Today, we find ourselves under the influence of Pluto in Capricorn, and let me tell you, it's a powerful combination. These two are like the ultimate power couple, with a laser focus on success and a no-nonsense attitude toward getting things done. But beware, my friends, because this transit may also bring out our more intolerant side. We may become so focused on our own goals that we forget to consider the perspectives of others. Don't let your drive for success cloud your compassion for those around you. Pluto is urging us to shed our negative patterns and destructive habits, but remember to be intentional in what you destroy as you create. We don't want to accidentally nuke something we'll regret later. So, keep your eyes on the prize, but don't forget to check your blind spots. With Pluto in Capricorn, we have the power to achieve great things, but we must also use that power responsibly. Live long and prosper, my fellow astro-travelers!Current Planetary Aspects
