Greetings, stargazers! It's your favorite modern astrologer here, with a horoscope that's out of this world. Mercury is currently in Aries, and let me tell you, it's like a race car revving its engine at the starting line. Mercury may be 186523381.004989356km away, but its energy is firing up our minds like never before. During this transit, we'll feel restless, impatient, and ready to charge ahead. The sign of Aries waits for no one, so get ready to move onto the next thing at lightning speed. Our thoughts and speech will become more courageous and innovative, with flashes of insight making it easier for us to think of fresh solutions to old problems. But beware, dear readers, our desire to speak our minds could become a problem when cooperation, compromise, and sensitivity are required. So, remember to think before you speak or risk burning bridges faster than Mercury can orbit around the sun. Don't second-guess yourself during this transit, trust your first thoughts as they may be your best ones. However, catch these bursts of brilliance as fast as you can, because the Aries influence means they'll disappear just as quickly as they appeared.

If you're looking for love, this is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy the moment with that special someone. Maybe you'll watch a movie, enjoy some wine or indulge in a delicious feast. Either way, you'll both be in the mood to indulge your senses. However, beware of Taurus's infamous stubbornness. If you're in a relationship or heading towards commitment, it may be difficult to move forward as a couple due to this cosmic coupling. Remember, a little bit of flexibility can go a long way. But don't let that deter you from taking things to the next level if you feel the spark. Taurus is all about security and stability, making it a great time for commitments rather than casual affairs. So, take a deep breath, find your inner zen, and let Venus in Taurus guide you towards love and simplicity.

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.
