The Sun

Solar activity was at high levels. Region 3354 (N16W72, Fkc/beta-gamma-delta) produced the strongest event of the period, a long-duration, X1 event that began at 02/2314 UTC and was still in progress at M5 levels as the period began. Associated with this event was a 5 minute long, 200 sfu Tenflare. Region 3354 appeared to be decaying in its leader and trailing spots, whereas its intermediate area grew slightly. There still appears to be a weak delta within its intermediate spots. Region 3358 (S13E29, Dai/beta) produced an M1 flare at 03/0653 UTC. Slight growth was observed in Regions 3357 (S07E05, Dao/beta), 3358, and 3359 (S22E26, Dso/beta). The rest of the spotted regions were either stable or in decay.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters diminished to nominal levels. Solar wind speed decreased from approximately 450 km/s to near 380 km/s. Total IMF strength was primarily 5-7 nT, with mainly weak Bz component deviations. The phi angle was predominantly positive.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Capricorn

Well, hello there, my celestial comrades! It's time to sync up those quantum watches because we're about to take a cosmic joyride into the astrological abyss. The Moon has currently taken residency in the earnest and disciplined sign of Capricorn, and let me tell you, it's about as exciting as a Klingon poetry reading. Situated approximately 360590.184383057km away (but who's counting, right?), our lunar neighbour is making its presence felt in the realm of the humble sea-goat. Now, I know what you're thinking, "A sea-goat? Really? Is that like a mermaid for goats?" To which I respond, "No, silly, it's more like a goat-fish hybrid. But enough with the zoological crossbreeding, let's get back to your cosmic forecast." Moon in Capricorn is all about focus, discipline, and responsibility. So, if you've been putting off your taxes, sorting your recycling, or picking up that underwear off the floor, now's the time to do it. It's like your personal cosmic life coach shouting, "Get your act together!" But not to worry, it's all done with love and a hint of sardonic humor. As the Moon prepares to moonwalk its way from Capricorn to Aquarius in the next 24 hours, you might feel a shift, like switching from decaf to a double shot espresso, or from Battlestar Galactica reruns to the latest episode of Rick and Morty. It's a transition from the practical to the unpredictable. So strap on your jetpacks and prepare for the journey. And remember, just because the moon looks like a giant wheel of cheese, doesn't mean you should take a bite. That's no gouda for anyone. Stay weird, stay wild, and keep reaching for the stars! Or at least the remote control.

Pluto

Mercury

Mercury is in Cancer

Mercury is prograde at 15 Can 44' 60", moving at 2.14 degrees per day, and is 198427212km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Cancer

Oh, dear oh dear! It seems Mercury has decided to make its vacation in the sultry, sea-soaked sign of Cancer. This planet, which is quite literally 198,443,192.740341455 kilometers away from you, has taken a turn for the...crabby. It's like a cosmic sitcom, isn't it? The swift-footed planet of communication, all logic and facts, has stumbled into the arms of the moon-child, Cancer. Imagine Sheldon Cooper from 'The Big Bang Theory' suddenly developing a taste for hippie love-ins! This transit is sure to stir up some intriguing emotional concoctions. Cancer, as we know, is all about that homey, cozy vibe. It's like that friend who always has hot cocoa ready and insists on a group hug every five minutes. So, with Mercury in Cancer, expect your communications to have a bit more sappiness than usual. You might find yourself sending "I love you" texts even to your tax consultant. And if you find yourself using emojis more than words, don't fret, it's just the Mercury-Cancer effect! Just like Spock, our logical Vulcan friend from 'Star Trek', you might find your usual logic being expanded during this transit. Don't be surprised if you start trusting your gut feelings more than your Excel spreadsheets. You might be getting insights from the most unexpected sources – perhaps your pet goldfish has profound wisdom to share! Remember the wise droid C3PO? Always listening, always understanding, and rarely interrupting unless it was really necessary (or for comedic effect). That's how Mercury in Cancer wants us to communicate – to listen with our hearts, not just our ears. It's a time when silence can be louder than words, and you might find meaningful conversations in mere nods and smiles. So, embrace this transit, my fellow stargazers. Let the crabby Mercury help you express your love, trust your intuition, and truly listen. And remember, even if you feel like you're in an episode of 'The Twilight Zone', it's just the cosmos having a bit of fun!

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 22 Leo 44' 35", moving at 0.57 degrees per day, and is 70963165km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Venus In Leo: The Cosmic Disco Ball

Well, buckle up stargazers! Venus has sashayed into Leo like a confident catwalk model, and it's about to turn our love lives into a cosmic episode of "The Bold and The Beautiful." You know Leo, that fiery sign that's all about heart-spilling, showboating, and turning life into one big creative canvass? Well, now Venus has caught that vibe, she's ready to turn on the charm, crank up the volume, and dial the romance up to 11. Prepare for dates that feel like impromptu theatre shows, declarations of love worthy of a Shakespearean sonnet, and tantrums that would make a daytime soap star blush. Let's just say, things are about to get a whole lot more...dramatic.

With Venus in Leo, being liked is as passé as dial-up internet. We want to be adored, worshipped, idolised. It's a time for grand gestures and bravery in love. If you're usually more reserved than a librarian during exam season, you might find yourself pushed out of the limelight during this transit.

Love isn’t exactly a peaceful meadow under a rainbow while Venus is in Leo. Leo loves a good drama, almost as much as they love being the center of attention. If they feel like they’re not getting enough applause or recognition, they may turn into a mini diva, complete with the dramatic exit. During this transit, don't be surprised if you find yourself starting a passionate debate over who gets the last slice of pizza, just to stir the pot and reclaim your spot in the spotlight. Remember folks, there's no "i" in "we", but there is one in "diva."

Money matters are also set to change while Venus is in Leo. It becomes less about earning and saving, and more about spending on things that make you feel like royalty. Leo loves a bit of bling, after all. So, expect to splurge a bit on those luxury items you've had your eye on. But remember, while treating ourselves feels great, Leo's true joy comes from being generous. So, going over-the-top with thoughtful gifts for loved ones might bring you more happiness than a new designer bag.

Venus in Leo is like a cosmic disco ball, showering us all with its vibrant energy. It's about recharging relationships,

Mars Is In Leo

Darth Vader's Guide to Mars in Leo

Hey, you cosmic geek! Grab your lightsaber because Mars is chillin' in Leo. Do you feel that? That's the Force... or maybe just the magnetic field. Either way, it's time to shake up the galaxy!

Now, Leo the Lion might sound like someone who enjoys a nice nap on the savanna, but trust me, when Mars swings by, it's not all about catnaps and yarn balls. It's about catching that red dot of life's joy, the laser pointer of happiness, if you will. We're talking Comic-Con level of excitement here!

Think of Mars in Leo as the ultimate heart-shaped box of interstellar chocolates. It's about following your heart, or at least your circadian rhythm. If there's something that makes your mitochondria dance the cha-cha, now's the time to chase it!

But hold on to your stormtrooper helmets, overconfidence can turn into a Death Star-sized disaster. Mars in Leo might make you feel like you deserve the galactic throne without even having to Force-choke anyone. Remember, if you want to be the Jedi Master, you've got to do more than just swing a lightsaber around. You've got to earn that robe, my friend.

Mars in Leo also stirs up drama faster than a Wookiee losing a game of Dejarik. You might find yourself craving more attention than a droid on Tatooine. And when you don't get it, well... let's just say it's not pretty. So, before you start roaring louder than Chewbacca on a bad hair day, take a deep breath. Or several. (Darth Vader breathing sound effects optional)

Remember, while your ego can be as beautiful as a double sunset on Tatooine, it can also lead to a clash of lightsabers. As Mars moves through Leo, reflect on your ego, find the balance, and avoid turning to the dark side. May the Force (and Mars in Leo) be with you!

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 09 Tau 50' 23", moving at 0.17 degrees per day, and is 800409335km away and approaching.

Jupiter In Taurus: A Nerdy Guide to Cosmic Chill

Alright, space cadets, gather around! Our big, gassy buddy Jupiter, who's currently hanging out a mind-boggling 800486035.271884084km away (trust me, I checked with my high-tech telescope and some really complicated math), has decided to take a vacation in the chill zone of Taurus. If this was The Matrix, it'd be like Neo deciding to take a break from dodging bullets to kick back and enjoy a nice Matrix steak.

You see, Jupiter is basically the Dumbledore of our solar system, providing wisdom and encouraging deep thought. Meanwhile, Taurus is the most laid-back, couch-loving sign of the zodiac. So when these two get together, it's like a cosmic reminder to stop scrolling through your social media feeds, put down your phone, and just breathe. Spirituality isn't some far-off, nebulous concept; it's more like that spare set of keys you always forget you have until you lock yourself out of the house.

Jupiter in Taurus is like getting an extra life in a video game - it's your chance to really make some progress toward whatever boss battle or epic quest you've been working on. You'll feel motivated to power-up, make a game plan, and start ticking off those side quests until you reach the ultimate victory screen. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are wizarding world empires or intergalactic space stations. Trust the process.

Now, let's talk about money. No, not Monopoly money, real hard cash! Jupiter is like your lucky leprechaun, while Taurus is all about the bling-bling. So, this cosmic combo can be like finding a treasure chest in a Dungeons & Dragons game. It's a good time to review your gold coins, magic rings, or, you know, your bank account, and look for opportunities to level up.

But beware, my fellow nerds! Taurus is basically the universe's hedonist, always ready to indulge in one more episode, one more slice of pizza, one more round of Settlers of Catan. And when Jupiter, the planet of "go big or go home," waltzes in, there's a risk of confusing your "wants" with your "needs". So maybe think twice before spl

Pluto

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 06 Pis 59' 15", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 1371549522km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Oh, Saturn's in Pisces, All Right

Well folks, it's time for a cosmic reality check. Our old pal Saturn, the Universe's strict disciplinarian, has decided to crash in the mystical realm of Pisces. You might as well think of Saturn as being that one nerdy guy at the party with a clipboard and a calculator, trying to make sense of the psychedelic daydream that is Pisces. Just imagine, he's 1,371,620,384.194850206km away but still finds a way to mess with your plans. Ain't that swell?

When Saturn's lounging in Pisces, it's like your inner hippie suddenly gets a visit from your accountant. "Hey, man," says Saturn, "that dream you have about opening a cat café on Mars? It's cute, but let's talk logistics. How are you gonna get the cats there? What about the litter box situation in zero gravity?" Sounds annoying, right? But here's the thing - he's not wrong. This is the perfect time to get serious about those dreams of yours. Saturn in Pisces is all about making those dreams a reality, folks.

Now, let's get real. No one likes to be grilled about their deepest desires, especially not by some taskmaster planet. You might feel like Saturn's intruding, like he's a cosmic dad who's just walked into your teenage bedroom unannounced. But instead of slamming the door in his face, try hearing him out. He might be a bit of a buzzkill, but he also might help you turn your daydreams into an actual game plan.

Also, don't be surprised if you find yourself tossing and turning at night. With Saturn poking around in Piscean territory—aka the land of sleep and dreams—you might end up with a case of cosmic insomnia. But hey, look on the bright side. This is a great excuse to invest in that fancy meditation app, or finally take up yoga. Or, you know, just take a nap. Just remember to keep a dream journal handy. You never know what Saturn in Pisces might stir up in your subconscious.

So, buckle up, stargazers. Saturn in Pisces might not be a cosmic joyride, but it's definitely an opportunity to get serious about making your dreams come true. And hey, if all else fails, just remember:

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 21 Tau 50' 30", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 3033378528km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: Galactic Revenue Service, Anyone?

Alright star gazers, grab your pocket protectors and strap on your Birkenstocks because we're about to embark on a 7-year cosmic journey! Uranus, the rebellious teenager of our solar system, has decided to crash at Taurus' place. Now, Taurus is your typical homebody, likes routine, comfort food, and reruns of Star Trek (who doesn't, am I right?). But here comes Uranus, the punk rock planet, ready to shake things up!

Imagine if Spock suddenly decided to play practical jokes on Captain Kirk. That's the kind of energy we're dealing with here. It's like trying to merge Vulcan logic with Tribble unpredictability. Taurus' couch potato lifestyle is about to get a Uranian makeover... and they won't be able to 'Klingon' to their old ways!

But what does this mean for you? Well, get ready for some serious change in your financial universe. As Taurus is our resident Wall Street bull, its encounter with Uranus might just turn that bull into a space-cow. We're talking revolutionary changes in banking and money handling, folks! Cryptocurrency might become so mainstream that even your grandma will ask for her birthday present in Bitcoin.

But it's not all about global finances. This galactic shift is also going to hit you where it hurts - your wallet. You know those pesky financial black holes like debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages? Uranus is here to shake them up. It's time to boldly go where no man has gone before - a debt-free life!

It's time to beam up from the planet of materialism folks. Resist all you want, but Uranus is here to free us from financial inertia. Just remember, change is the only constant in the universe. And these changes? They're here to stay. So buckle up, because it's going to be a wild ride on the Starship Enterprise of cosmic economic reform!

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 27 Pis 41' 02", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 4434023243km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Hey there, celestial seeker! Buckle up because you're in for a groovy cosmic ride. Neptune, our dear blue behemoth, is doing its retrograde boogie in the sign of Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "How far away is Neptune, anyway?" Well, it's a whopping 4,434,087,559.944239616km away. (I didn't just make that number up. That's real science!) And it's in retrograde, which in astro-speak means it's moonwalking back through the cosmos like Michael Jackson in zero gravity. Now, Neptune in Pisces is kind of like having a heart-to-heart with Yoda in a dreamscape. It's foggy, it's mystical, it's deeply spiritual...and it might leave you questioning reality a tad. But fear not, my starry-eyed friend. This murky muddle isn't here to cloud your vision, but rather to clear it. In this cosmic cocktail, Pisces' empathetic energy swirls with Neptune's unifying vibes, casting a spotlight on our petty differences and shouting, "Hey, let's chill out and get along!" It's like a galactic group hug, reminding us that we're all made of stardust, so why not shine together? This transit is also an epic call to action. It's urging us to dig deep, to tap into our emotional intelligence, and to unearth our unique gifts. Maybe you're a wizard with watercolors, or perhaps you have the ability to grow the world's biggest zucchini. Whatever your talent, Neptune in Pisces is nudging you to share it. And if you're feeling a pull towards the spiritual, go with it. Build an altar, start a meditation practice, join a drum circle. Neptune is playing DJ, spinning tracks that make your soul dance. So embrace the energy, groove with the cosmic flow, and remember, this planetary party is here to support you. So, whether you're an astrology aficionado or a newbie navigating the night sky, remember: Neptune may be billions of kilometers away, but its influence is as close as your next breath. So take a deep sigh, let go of those petty peeves, and dive into the cosmic pool of unity. The universe is waiting.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 29 Cap 32' 37", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5061034433km away and approaching.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Pluto In Capricorn

Well, space cadets, hold onto your tricorders because we're about to talk some serious galactic business. Our good buddy Pluto has decided to take a sojourn through Capricorn, and I'm not talking about your favorite goat-themed yoga pose. This celestial combo is like the Spock and Kirk of the zodiac: seriously goal-oriented, laser-focused, and they don't have time for any Tribble trouble.

Now, with this transit, you might find your compassion levels running on low, like the replicator after Neelix's latest culinary experiment. Capricorn and Pluto are both demanding bosses – they want results, not excuses. So, remember to keep your universal translator handy, because you might find yourself becoming as intolerant as a Ferengi at a charity auction.

But fear not, my star-trekking friends! Pluto isn't all doom and spatial anomalies. This distant dwarf planet is here to help us kick our negative patterns into the nearest black hole. You know, the ones that serve us as much good as a holodeck addiction. But heed this advice from your quirky astrological ensign: be careful what you toss into that cosmic abyss. I mean, we all remember what happened when Janeway tried to ignore the Prime Directive...

So buckle up, crew! With Pluto in Capricorn, it's going to be a bumpy ride. But with a little patience, a lot of coffee (in that nebula), and just a dash of dilithium crystal-powered determination, we'll navigate this uncharted territory like the seasoned space explorers we are. And remember: resistance is futile... but a good sense of humor is priceless.

The Sun

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

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.

Venus

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 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.

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.
