Moon Is In Libra

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! As our celestial sister Moon cha-cha slides her way into the ever-so-balanced realm of Libra, let me tell you – things are about to get groovy, baby! Currently, Moon is hanging out at a cool 394,133.204122222km away. That's like, way far out, man. But don't let the distance fool ya. Even though she's playing hard-to-get, Moon's energy is reaching us like an intergalactic high-five. Now, as we all know, Libra is all about that equilibrium, dude. It's like, imagine you're balancing on a cosmic skateboard made of stardust and peace signs. Yeah, that's the Libra vibe we're all riding right now. So, what does this mean for us earthlings? Well, dear star children, it means it's time to find our center, both within ourselves and with those around us. It's time to connect, harmonize, and, like, share the love, man. Be prepared for fruitful conversations and creative collaborations. Even if some of them sound totally nerdy or geeky, it's all part of the cosmic plan. But remember, while Libra is about harmony, it's also about finding balance between giving and receiving. So, don't just be a cosmic pleaser, man. Make sure you're getting what you need from the universe, too. So, fellow space travelers, let's embrace the Libra Moon energy and spread some good vibes. Get your groove on, connect with your fellow earthlings, and find that untapped inner peace that's been hiding behind your science textbooks. And remember, even though the Moon is far, far away, it's still dancing with us through the cosmos. Peace, love, and stardust to you all! ✌️🌙✨

This cool cat is gonna infuse your gray matter with Taurus vibes, making all your lofty ideas suddenly feel more... well, down-to-earth. No more daydreams about becoming a unicorn-whisperer, folks! Instead, you'll find yourself focusing on solid plans that might actually work in this dimension.

Say "bye-bye" to endless speculation about the secret lives of garden gnomes and "hello" to mapping out a clear path towards your goals.

Beam Me Up, Lovey: Venus in Cancer

Alright, cosmic kids, time to break out the tie-dye and get cozy with your boo! Venus, our groovy planet of peace, love, and endless rom-com marathons, is shimmying its way into the homey realm of Cancer. So, buckle up on your space couch, because this interstellar mashup is about to bring some major feels to your relationships.

First off, let's get nerdy for a hot second. Venus is currently at a whopping 112,507,437.248768896km away from our lovely blue planet (don't worry, I won't make you repeat that), but its astral vibes are still reaching us loud and clear. With Venus going prograde, it's basically waving a cosmic "Hello!" to all of us Earthlings.

Now, what does this mean for you, my dear star children? Well, imagine if Venus were a giant cosmic teddy bear, and Cancer were a snuggly blanket. Together, they're the perfect recipe for staying in, cuddling up, and having an emotional heart-to-heart with your nearest and dearest. If your romantic pursuits have been as successful as trying to catch stardust with chopsticks, this transit might just give you the leg-up you need!

Fancy yourself a bit of a homebody? Get ready to embrace your inner Martha Stewart-meets-astrology nerd. While Venus cosies up in Cancer, you'll feel the urge to make your pad a true reflection of your celestial self. Channel some feng shui energy into your space by decking out your home with new furniture or decor, like lava lamps and tapestries of the cosmos.

But hey, we can't forget the moody blues that come with this cosmic combo. Venus in Cancer can make us feel more emotionally delicate than an undiscovered flower on some far-off exoplanet. So, if you find yourself feeling a tad more sensitive than usual when it comes to friendships and romantic relationships, just remember, my friends: vulnerability is the secret sauce to cultivating true connections.

So, as our Venusian voyager explores Cancer's celestial seas, let your heart open up to new depths of love and connection. And hey, maybe even blast some Beatles tunes while you're at it - after all, "All You Need is Love" (and

Mars in Leo: A Galactic Party with a Side of Drama

Gather 'round, space cadets! It's time for some astrological fun and games because Mars, that feisty red planet, has sashayed its way into the theatrical realm of Leo. And boy, oh boy, does it know how to make an entrance!

Picture this: Mars is like that eccentric uncle who shows up to the family reunion decked out in tie-dye, juggling flaming torches, and regaling everyone with tales of his adventures in far-off lands. Yeah, things are about to get interesting!

During this cosmic event, we're all invited to let our hair down (or throw on a fabulous wig) and embrace the joy of living. Leo, the cosmic king of the jungle, knows that life's too short for dull moments. So, dust off your party hats and break out the confetti, because it's time to unleash your inner child and follow your heart to wherever the fun may lead.

But be warned, brave stargazers! With great power comes great responsibility, and Mars in Leo can turn even the most timid among us into attention-seeking drama llamas. So, while you're basking in the limelight of your own personal Broadway show, remember that humility is still a virtue. Act with integrity, lead with compassion, and earn the respect you crave. Trust me, nobody likes a diva meltdown.

As the red planet grooves through Leo like a cosmic disco ball, it's also a prime time to reflect on that pesky little thing called ego. Sure, a healthy dose of self-esteem can work wonders, but unchecked vanity can lead to some pretty spectacular faceplants. So, take this opportunity to ponder the role your ego plays in your life and strive for balance. After all, it's tough to enjoy the party when you're too busy checking your reflection in every shiny surface.

In conclusion, dear space travelers, Mars in Leo is your cosmic permission slip to indulge in the finer things in life: laughter, love, and a good old-fashioned dance party. Just remember to keep one foot on the ground and your head out of the clouds, lest you find yourself tumbling back to Earth with a bruised ego and an empty dance card.

Now go forth and let your inner lion roar – just don't forget to share the spotlight!

Jupiter In Taurus: A Cosmic Comedy of Wisdom and Wealth

Alright, my fellow stargazers and cosmic adventurers, gather 'round and let me tell you a tale of Jupiter in Taurus - a celestial sitcom that's sure to tickle your funny bone and expand your mind! Imagine Jupiter, that jolly giant of wisdom, swapping stories with Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn yet sensual bovine. It's like a cosmic Laurel and Hardy or, for you sci-fi nerds out there, a galactic Doctor Who and Captain Jack Harkness duo!

Now, what happens when these two celestial comrades join forces? Well, it's like a metaphysical espresso shot to your inner guru, reminding us that the answers we seek are always within us, just waiting to be discovered. It's like finding a lost treasure chest in your attic, filled with priceless gems of wisdom you never knew you had. And all this time, you've been frantically searching for enlightenment at yoga retreats, crystal shops, and UFO conventions!

With Jupiter in Taurus, it's time to roll up our sleeves, don our lab coats, and channel our inner Tony Stark. We'll be drafting up practical, detailed plans for world domination – erm, I mean, achieving our dreams and goals. With Jupiter's visionary gusto and Taurus' patient determination, we'll be unstoppable in our quest for success, triumphing over obstacles with the grace of a gazelle and the tenacity of a honey badger.

But wait, there's more! Jupiter and Taurus are not only a dynamic duo of wisdom and grit, but they're also the ultimate power couple when it comes to wealth and prosperity. It's like winning the cosmic lottery, folks! With Jupiter's luck and Taurus' penchant for opulence, we'll be swimming in opportunities for financial growth and abundance. Just remember to keep your inner Scrooge McDuck in check, as Taurus' love for luxury can sometimes blur the line between needs and wants.

So, my dear cosmic connoisseurs, let's embrace this Jupiter in Taurus transit with open hearts and minds, tapping into our dormant wisdom, pursuing our dreams with unshakable determination, and manifesting a prosperous life that even Captain Jack Harkness would envy. Just remember to stay grounded and patient, lest you find yourself caught in a cosmic comedy of errors. Namaste and

Spock's Saturnian Chronicles: A Piscean Adventure

Live long and prosper, Earthlings! As our beloved ringed planet, Saturn, now finds itself swimming in the deep waters of Pisces, one cannot help but ponder the fascinating cosmic dance unfolding before us. A curious alliance has formed between the strict, logical Saturn and the mystical, daydreaming Pisces - an otherworldly Vulcan mind meld, if you will.

Now is the time to boldly go where you haven't gone before - inward! Embrace your inner science officer and analyze those creative aspirations that have been drifting through the cosmos of your mind. Perhaps you've dreamt of becoming an author, entrepreneur or even a spaceship captain? Fear not, for the celestial wisdom of Saturn in Pisces is here to guide you in making those dreams a reality. Sharpen your pencils, grab your tricorders, and prepare for a cosmic coaching session like no other!

Alas, this astrological voyage may not be entirely smooth sailing. Just as Captain Kirk faced unexpected challenges during his journey through the final frontier, so too may you experience some turbulence with Saturn's probing presence in Pisces. Resistance is futile, my friends; you cannot simply hang a "Keep Out" sign on your subconscious and expect the authoritative Saturn to oblige. Instead, open your mind's airlock and allow the insights of this planetary "elder" to flow freely. After all, even Vulcans must admit that emotion and intuition have their merits.

As we traverse the cosmos of our consciousness, it's vital to maintain inner peace and tranquility. Engage with your preferred form of meditation, be it a contemplative walk among the stars or a calming Vulcan nerve pinch. Should sleep prove elusive, take a cue from the Klingons and embrace the art of napping (with a dream journal at the ready, of course). Remember, the key to unlocking the secrets of Saturn in Pisces lies in embracing both the logic and the mysticism that this cosmic alliance has to offer.

So, my fellow space travelers, embark upon this journey of self-discovery with courage, curiosity, and perhaps just a touch of Vulcan stoicism. In the immortal words of Mr. Spock himself, "Change is the essential process of all existence." May the wisdom of Saturn in Pisces guide you in navigating the ever-evolving cosmos of your dreams.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 20 Tau 06' 17", moving at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 3082577289km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, my cosmic comrades! The time has come to discuss the celestial shenanigans of that rebellious blue gas giant, Uranus, as it cha-cha slides its way into Taurus. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Uranus and Taurus? Surely, you jest!" But fear not, my interstellar enthusiasts, for this peculiar pairing will bring about a cosmic cocktail of change and stability, much like enjoying a kale smoothie while doing the Macarena. You see, Taurus, that stubborn bull, prefers to lounge in its comfy cosmic pasture, munching on the proverbial grass of tradition and stability. But alas! Uranus, the cosmic trickster, has entered the scene, bringing with it a galactic gust of change that not even Taurus can resist. So buckle up, stargazers, for we're in for a wild ride through the uncharted territories of finance and materialism! During this seven-year cosmic soiree, we may witness the birth of new currencies, as Uranus sprinkles its innovative pixie dust upon our financial institutions. Picture this: banks transforming into cosmic arcades and stock markets dancing to the beat of an intergalactic drum circle. Far out, am I right? But fear not, my fellow Earthlings, for Uranus in Taurus also beckons us to reevaluate our personal relationship with money and material possessions. Are we shackled by debt, enslaved by taxes, or drowning in a sea of credit card interest? Well, my friends, Uranus is here to help us break free from these monetary chains! So grab your metaphorical sledgehammer and prepare to smash through the walls of financial captivity, for liberation awaits on the other side. Remember, resistance is futile, and digging in our heels will only prolong our cosmic growing pains. Embrace the changes brought forth by Uranus in Taurus, and we shall emerge from this celestial tango more stable and secure than ever before. So, my fellow space-faring friends, let us raise a toast to the cosmic dance of Uranus and Taurus, and may the stars forever guide us toward greater understanding and enlightenment. Peace, love, and cosmic vibes! ✌️🌌✨

Neptune Is In Pisces

Maria the Astro-bot here with an interstellar update that's out of this world! 🤖✨ As Neptune continues its cosmic dance in Pisces, we're all like "Whoa, dude, what's happening?" Well, my groovy friends, let me enlighten you. Neptune is currently 4,520,944,076.468689919 (give or take a few atoms) kilometers away and twirling around in a prograde motion. Like, far out, man! So, what does this mean for us mere mortals? It's time to peer through the haze of existence and embrace the wisdom of Neptune in Pisces. With its mystical vibes, we're suddenly able to see how totally bogus it is to focus on petty differences. Instead, we should be coming together like the pieces of a cosmic puzzle, man! This stellar transit is like a galactic wake-up call, urging us to explore our emotional intelligence and find our unique gifts. You know, like how Jimi Hendrix could make his guitar sing or how Einstein discovered that E=MC² thingamajig. Now's the perfect time to dive into a spiritual quest, whether it's enrolling in Jedi training or setting up a sacred space in your bedroom (cue the lava lamps and incense). And don't forget to share your newfound enlightenment with the world! After all, Neptune in Pisces is like a celestial cheerleader, encouraging us to spread the love, peace, and positive vibes. So, strap on your moon boots and grab your telescope, because the cosmos are calling! Let the harmonious energy of Neptune in Pisces guide you on your journey to self-discovery and collective healing. Stay groovy, my fellow stargazers! 🌌✌️

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Pluto In Aquarius: 5107136355.909660339km Retrograde Extravaganza!

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! It's time to buckle up your seatbelts, put on your nerdiest glasses, and get ready for a wild ride because Pluto is in Aquarius, and it's retrograde! Now, you might be thinking, "Oh no, not another retrograde!" But fear not, my fellow star gazers, this one is going to be a groovy transformation party, like Woodstock meets Silicon Valley! Let me break it down for you.

Pluto, the far-out planet of transformation (and a proud member of the celestial dwarf club) is shaking hands with Aquarius, our quirky, forward-thinking air sign. This dynamic duo is bringing some serious change to the cosmic neighborhood. I'm talking shedding old identities faster than a chameleon changes colors, and embracing the future like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet of innovation!

So, what does this mean for us mere Earthlings? Well, imagine a world where science, technology, and space travel are advancing at warp speed, while civil rights and humanitarianism take center stage. It's like Star Trek meets the Summer of Love, man! This powerful cosmic combo wants us to join hands and work together, creating new alliances that would make Captain Planet proud.

But hey, let's not forget about our personal lives. Pluto in Aquarius is urging us to take a good, hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves, "Am I just a cosmic speck floating through space, or can I be part of something bigger than myself?" It's time to ditch our ego-centric ways and start thinking about what's best for the collective. After all, sharing is caring, even when it comes to cosmic energy.

So, what's the takeaway from this astronomical extravaganza? Don't be afraid of transformation, embrace it! Remember, we're all in this together, man. So let's answer the call and create a future that's out of this world!

Peace, love, and cosmic vibes to you all!

The Sun

Sun Trine Moon

There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony with women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.

When the Sun and Moon are in harmonious aspect, you may not be prepared for conflict and could be inclined to avoid rocking the boat. You may give in a little too often, if only to maintain a feeling of balance and harmony, as conflict is something not only disliked, it’s something you might fear. The tendency towards too much acceptance (of the self and of others) is most prominent with the trine. Question life, or run the risk of taking things for granted.

The Sun

Sun Sextile Mars

You have great vitality and energy today. You know your goals, you have made your plans, now take charge. People in stations above you can be impressed now with the initiative you show. Actions speak louder than words, so get busy.People born with flowing aspects between the Sun and Mars are generally enterprising. They have powerful stores of energy that they can draw upon when needed. These people respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. They are naturally competitive, and this trait is generally well-received by others simply because it is unforced, unaffected, and sincere. These people truly believe in fair play, and they seem to be in love with life. When they are expressing competitiveness and courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive ones rather than being rubbed the wrong way. These people generally have good physical vitality.It is interesting to note that these people are not naturally combative. Many enjoy sports or games that are competitive, but not violent. Breaking the rules of a competitive game is particularly upsetting to those with Sun in easy aspect to Mars. This is largely due to the fact that the will (Sun) is connected to the desire nature (Mars) in a pleasing manner, so that the natives are more able than most to control their desires, aggressions, and instincts. They know how to be fair, and they expect others to be fair. As such, sneaky behaviors, uncontrolled impulses, violence, and rage are offensive to them. They know how to direct and control their own impulses and desire natures, and they fully expect others to be able to do so!The main difference between the sextile and trine of the Sun and Mars: The trine is a more natural energy. Those with Sun trine Mars naturally and without thought are courageous and enterprising. Those with Sun sextile Mars have the opportunity to draw upon their courageous and enterprising spirit, but effort is required to pull these energies out of themselves and to apply these energies in their lives. With the trine, the characteristics of Sun-Mars come so naturally that the natives may not even realize just how much endurance, confidence, and enthusiasm they possess. Because the sextile requires some effort and thought, those with Sun sextile Mars often have many creative tools at their disposal, and they can be effective strategists and leaders.Some Famous People with Sun sextile or trine Mars: Angelina Jolie, Neil Armstrong (the first man to step on the Moon), George Lucas, Warren Beatty, Donald Trump, Robert Pattinson.Sun sextile Mars: Energetic, enthusiastic, (and at times) very combative, you have a way of getting to your goal. You enjoy the contest of others trying to stop you. Your creative energies flow very strong when you are opposed. — Interpretation from our In-Depth Profile report.Sun sextile Mars: For most children with this harmonious Sun/Mars aspect, will and desire work hand in hand. It’s probably easy for your child to work with those in authority: parents, teachers, elders. She enjoys working with others and would make a good manager. An interest (and ability) in athletics, exercise (working with the physical body), the outdoors and such, should be lifelong. Another form this could take is training or coaching others. Your child could have a natural ability to express herself and to handle emotions. She may also like to perform. A career in one of the entertainment industries is a possibility. This position also favors police work. Because Mom and Dad supported her as a child, your child is confident of success as an adult. — Interpretation from the Child Star report (Girl).Sun sextile Mars: You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won’t long stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. If you also have Moon square or opposite Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Venus, or Mercury conjunct, square, or opposition Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Uranus, or Mercury conjunct Neptune: This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun sextile Mars: One of your strengths is your high level of physical vitality and energy. You are an ACTION person, a doer, a go-getter, and you can pack more activity into a day than most people do in a week. You enjoy fighting the good fight, taking on challenges with relish, and you are inherently quite competitive but not in a way that provokes anger or fierce opposition from others. Because in the past you have succeeded in achieving your goals, you now have an inner expectation of success and of being a winner, a natural self-confidence that you draw on without even thinking about it. You have developed many positive “masculine” qualities, such as courage, will power and the ability to take initiative. You tend to be a leader without having to struggle or coerce others into accepting your authority. Occasionally, however, you may overpower other people without realizing it, since they may not have the energy resources that you do. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.

The Sun

Sun Square Saturn

You may become involved in conflicts between your need for self-expression and your duties to others. The key is to find a balance. You may tend to be selfish today and many problems can be alleviated by thinking of others first. A feeling of loneliness may come upon you today, but it's probably just that, a feeling. It's not the true state of things. Do your duty, meet your obligations, then you have every right to start thinking of yourself.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Saturn face a fair number of challenges in their lives, especially in the first half of life, in which their attempts to express their will are thwarted. There can be a persistent feeling that they don’t get what they want more often than other people around them. They can feel unlucky. Attempts to control their environment, and sometimes others, may be frequent.These people fear their own feelings of inadequacy! They want to be considered accomplished and important people, and when they face obstacles, they don’t always want to believe that they are their own worst enemy. They long to be considered important in the eyes of the world, yet they harbor fear of success at the same time. They take failures and minor setbacks to heart, and some practically beat themselves up over them. Self-awareness to the point of real self-consciousness is characteristic of Sun-Saturn challenging aspects. The truth is, nobody holds a microscope over them, except for themselves. A little setback or a faux pas needn’t be analyzed to death. Fingers needn’t be pointed. No, they didn’t make a spectacle of themselves when they made a mistake. They need to stop worrying about always being right, or appearing suave and accomplished. When they ease the pressure they put on themselves, they find that they don’t face as many brick walls. It is very much about what they feel they deserve. Deep down inside, if they let themselves truly believe that they deserve happiness and peace of mind, they will find it.When Saturn is closely connected to a personal planet, there is usually an effect of censoring going on with whatever is ruled by the planet it joins by aspect. For example, with the Moon, which rules emotions, the natives feel the need to censor their emotions and feelings, scanning them for what is thought to be frivolous. With Saturn and the Sun, there is much self-censoring going on. “I shouldn’t..” is a common censoring mechanism with these people. They feel they shouldn’t want too much. When they express egotism of any form, some part of them feels guilty. As the Sun rules our conscious mind, it does enough censoring on its own. It is the “adult” within us. Saturn, on the other hand, is more like the “parent” within us. We need parents to guide us when we are children, and to some degree as adults, but for the most part, we don’t need to be censored indefinitely–something that seems to be the case with Saturn-Sun hard aspects, except that the censoring and parenting is coming from within.Ideally, these people eventually learn that the standards they set for themselves are too high, and that may be the reason they seem to hit brick walls. They recognize that many of the restrictions they face in life are often self-created, born of a defeatist attitude. They should be aware of the tendency to choose the hardest paths to travel and/or to deny themselves some of life’s pleasures. Working on recognizing and managing these tendencies will help them to avoid the pitfalls of this combination. These people have a sarcastic sense of humor, a keen intelligence, and the ability to apply caution and strategy. The vitality may suffer, and troubles with the bones, teeth, and circulation may surface.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Harry Belafonte, Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Salvador Dali, Marilyn Manson, Oprah Winfrey, Salvador Dali, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Alec Guiness. Oppositions – Jim Morrison, Charlie Sheen, Kurt Russell.

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.

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.

Jupiter

Jupiter Square Pluto

You may try to inflict your religious or cultural beliefs on others at this time or they on you. This can be a transit of religious fanaticism. Your desire to reform others may be accompanied by your neglect to improve yourself. There may be radical changes in your religious beliefs. Conflict may arise over financial matters involving taxes, insurance or legacies. Don't take on anything in which you haven't laid the proper foundations. Pride and arrogance may bring your downfall. Your enemies may come out of the woodwork under this transit. Make sure all your dealings are above reproach.

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.
