Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3386 (N11W62, Dhi/beta) produced a long-duration M1.9/1n flare at 04/0424 UTC; the largest event of the period. The associated CME off the W in LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 04/0428 UTC. Further analysis of the event shows the potential for a glancing blow around early to midday on 07 Aug. Slight growth was observed in Regions 3386 and 3392 (N10W05, Dao/beta-gamma). The rest of the spot groups were relatively stable.

NOAA reports a Moderate Solar Storm! Retrograde effects are increased. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters became further enhanced around 04/0655 UTC, possibly due to weak transient activity. Total field increased from 10 nT to a maximum of 16 nT with the Bz component +/-12 nT. Solar wind speed briefly increased to around 450 km/s around midday before diminishing to near 400 km/s. Phi angle was positive.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Aries

Well, strap on your space boots and hold onto your sonic screwdrivers, stargazers! The Moon, our celestial neighbor just a hop, skip, and a 365012.674385684km jump away, has decided to meander into the fiery realm of Aries. Now, let's break this down scientifically. Our dear Moon, usually as calm as a cucumber in a garden of Zen, is currently vacationing in the house of the Ram. That's like asking a quantum physicist to take up interpretive dance. Things are bound to get a bit...interesting! But fear not, dear earthlings! It's not all doom and gloom. Actually, it's more like spontaneous trips to alien festivals and impromptu moonlit salsa dancing. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, often associated with fresh starts and head-butting any obstacles with the tenacity of a caffeine-fueled Dalek. So embrace that Martian energy! Use this time to start new projects, or perhaps to finally confront that Weeping Angel you've been avoiding in your backyard (just remember, don't blink!). Be bold, be brave, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself doing the impossible - like reversing the polarity of the neutron flow! Remember, the universe doesn't make mistakes. Each planet spins exactly where it's meant to. So when life hands you a moon in Aries, you grab life by the lapels, wink at the stars, and whisper, "Geronimo!" Because, at the end of the day, isn't life just one grand cosmic adventure?

Mercury

Mercury is prograde at 09 Vir 29' 27", moving at 1.15 degrees per day, and is 143860953km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

The Quantum Quirkiness of Mercury in Virgo

Alright, cosmic comrades, strap on your safety goggles and tighten your lab coats because the universe has decided to sprinkle some analytical spice into our celestial soup! That's right, folks. Mercury, the zippy little planet with a need for speed and a knack for communication, has just RSVP’d to Virgo’s tea party. And let me tell you, this isn't your grandmother's tea party; no, this is more like a science fair on steroids.

Now, when Mercury checks into Hotel Virgo, it's not lounging by the pool sipping on a martini. No, Mercury in Virgo is like that meticulous roommate who color codes their sock drawer and alphabetizes the spice rack. It's all about precision, efficiency, and a dash of obsessive-compulsive flavor.

Mercury in Virgo is the celestial equivalent of a Swiss army knife - multi-functional and always ready to strip out the unnecessary fluff. It’s like having your very own cosmic Marie Kondo, helping you declutter your mental mess. This transit is all about getting down to the nitty-gritty, cutting through the cosmic clutter, and communicating with laser-like precision.

But remember, my fellow stargazers, with great power comes... well, you know... a tendency to become a teensy bit overcritical. When Mercury is in Virgo, we might find ourselves nitpicking every tiny detail, from that single strand of hair out of place to the slightly skewed angle of that picture frame. We become the Sherlock Holmes of flaws! So, let's remember to use our newfound powers of discernment wisely, or else we might find ourselves alienating others with our overly analytical antics.

In short, enjoy the intellectual joyride of Mercury in Virgo, but don't forget to loosen up your lab coat and laugh at the chaos of the cosmos once in a while. After all, perfection is an illusion and life is too short for perfectly arranged spice racks.

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is retrograde at 25 Leo 12' 31", moving backwards at 0.49 degrees per day, and is 44726758km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Greetings, stargazers and universal hitchhikers! I have some cosmic news that's hotter than a supernova: Venus, our planetary goddess of love and beauty, has sashayed her way into the sign of Leo, the celestial lion. Now, when Venus and Leo get together, it's like a cosmic version of "The Bachelor" - full of grand gestures, heart-on-sleeve declarations, and yes, even a bit of drama. You see, Venus in Leo doesn't want to be just another constellation in your galaxy. She wants to be the star that outshines all others, the supermassive black hole that pulls you into her irresistible gravitational field. So, expect your love life to become as explosive as a gamma-ray burst! You might end up shouting your feelings from the rooftops, or even the International Space Station (if you can hitch a ride!). Now, beware fellow earthlings, as Leo is also known for its flamboyant, show-off nature. Are you ready for a love that's as bright and consuming as a quasar? Brace yourself, because like a comet streaking across the night sky, this energy can light up your world... but also cause a bit of chaos. Venus in Leo is like a playful celestial cub - full of spark but also prone to dramatic tantrums if it feels neglected. Remember, while it's exciting to orbit around a dazzling star, don't forget other celestial bodies who are also part of your universe. When it comes to earthly possessions, with Venus in Leo, money becomes as valuable as Martian dust. It's all about lavishness and grandeur, so you may find yourself splurging on stardust and moon rocks, or extravagant gifts that make you feel like a Jupiterian king or queen. But remember, Leo is also a generous sign, so don’t forget to share your cosmic wealth. After all, happiness shared is happiness doubled, even in the Andromeda galaxy! In conclusion, my dear astronauts of life, Venus in Leo is like a supernova explosion in your relationship sector. It might shake things up, but it'll also infuse a vibrant, colorful energy that can rekindle lost sparks. So, buckle up and enjoy this cosmic ride, because a life without a bit of cosmic fun is like a universe without stars!

Mars

Mars is in Virgo

Mars is prograde at 15 Vir 53' 36", moving at 0.62 degrees per day, and is 358305400km away and receding.

Mars Is In Virgo

Ahoy, celestial sailors! Today, we're casting our telescopic eyes towards the fiery red planet of Mars, which is currently chilling in the cosmic realm of Virgo. And yes, while I did say ‘chilling’, keep your parkas and hot chocolate at bay, because this is not about temperature but rather about the alignment of celestial bodies. Now, to put this in perspective for all you nerdy earthlings out there, Mars is a whopping 358,278,096.139545619km away - that's approximately 883,596,211.5 trips to your local grocery store. So, forget about hitching a ride on SpaceX anytime soon. Mars, the planetary embodiment of action, is sitting pretty in the sign of Virgo, the cosmic symbol of efficiency. It’s like Iron Man decided to have a tea party with Marie Kondo. The result? You'll find yourself trimming the fat off of your daily routines faster than you can say "quantum physics". Virgo holds the rulership over our 6th House - or as I like to call it, the 'House of Health and DIY'. So, don't be surprised if you suddenly feel the urge to chug green smoothies, sign up for a yoga class, or finally crack open that self-help book gathering dust on your shelf. But be warned, my star-gazing compadres, this celestial combo can also bring out your inner Simon Cowell. With Mars in Virgo, we set the bar higher than Elon Musk's ambitions for Mars colonization. Watch out for those critical attacks flaring up faster than a solar storm on the sun's surface. Remember, patience is your best weapon during this planetary transit - more potent than Thor's hammer. Cut others some slack as if you're sharing the last slice of pizza at a comic con. Rather than focusing on the inefficiencies of others (we all know no one can match your superhero speed in finishing tasks), use this time to plan, organize and conquer! Balance your budget, plan for the future, learn a new skill or even start job hunting. There's no better time for personal growth and productivity than Mars in Virgo! So, buckle up space cadets, and let's make this interstellar journey count! Remember, the stars are not just for gazing, they're for navigating. And remember to keep it groovy, just like the cosmos intended.

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 14 Tau 06' 31", moving at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 730636753km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Rise and Shine, Space Cadets: Darth Vader's Take on Jupiter in Taurus

Alright star gazers, don your cloaks and adjust your lightsabers, because we're about to embark on a cosmic journey. No, not a battle with the Death Star, but a tantalizing tango with our planet of wisdom, Jupiter, who's just shimmied into the sign of Taurus.

Jupiter, the sage of the galaxy, meets Taurus, the universe's most stubborn bull. Sounds like your last family reunion, right? But fear not, this isn’t a recipe for disaster, it’s more like two celestial bodies sipping chai tea and discussing quantum physics. This transit gently nudges us to remember that our search for spiritual wisdom doesn’t require an epic space saga. It’s inside us, snuggled up next to our love for pizza and binge-watching Star Wars. We just need to cut through the static of daily life to tap into it.

With Jupiter canoodling Taurus, it's like having Yoda and Obi-Wan guiding you to make your dreams come true. You'll find yourself making to-do lists with the precision of a droid and the patience of a Jedi. As you tick off those items one by one, remember to trust in the Force – or in this case, the cosmic energy of Jupiter and Taurus.

When Jupiter, the Star Wars equivalent of a galactic lottery ticket, teams up with Taurus, the Bill Gates of the zodiac, your bank account might just go from "Death Star-sized hole" to "Ewok village abundance". But remember, my young Padawans, with great power (or wealth) comes great responsibility.

Yes, Taurus loves indulgence as much as Chewbacca loves a good Wookiee cookie. And when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, pairs up with our pleasure-seeking bull, we may find ourselves mistaking wants for needs. Resist the Dark Side, my friends. Don't let your impulses lead you astray. Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet firmly on the ground. May the Force, and Jupiter in Taurus, be with you!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 05 Pis 26' 17", moving backwards at 0.07 degrees per day, and is 1321912919km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn in Pisces: A Cosmic Stand-Up Comedy

Well, butter my biscuits and call me Saturn, because right now, I'm taking a dip in the vast ocean of Pisces. So, grab your space snorkel and prepare for some deep-sea cosmic exploration. This isn't just a casual swim folks, oh no, we're diving into our very own abyss of dreams and aspirations. You know, it's funny how we can always daydream about opening a cat cafe or writing the next bestseller, but when Saturn rolls up in its celestial minivan, we suddenly start getting serious. It's like when your mom comes into your room and finds all those candy wrappers under your bed. You can't hide your dreams from Saturn! Grab a notepad because Saturn's about to do some hardcore life coaching. But hold onto your crystals, because this isn't going to be a psychedelic joyride. Saturn is like that stern professor who questions every single detail of your project. You might want to put up a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your mental door, but guess what? Saturn doesn't care. It’s going to barge in, wearing dad jeans and a tool belt, ready to fix up your dreamscape. So, you better be ready to open the door and let Saturn in. Trust me, his advice usually ends up as helpful as an instruction manual in Ikea. Now, with all this focus on the realm of sleep and dreams, you might think you'd be snoozing away like a hibernating space bear. But ironically, you may feel restless, anxious, and end up counting more sheep than a farmer with insomnia. Here’s a cosmic tip: meditate, go for a forest bath, inhale-exhale-repeat, and maybe even catch a power nap (with a dream journal by your side, of course). Remember, you need to recharge your cosmic batteries to tune into the wisdom Saturn is trying to download into your consciousness. So, fellow stargazers, as the saying goes, "When Saturn swims through Pisces, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and dive deep into your dreams". Or at least, it should be a saying. I mean, it has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 22 Tau 50' 22", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2960793507km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Alright, space cadets, gather 'round because the celestial gossip of the day is all about our dear friend, Uranus, who's taken up residence in Taurus' territory. It's like inviting a disco ball to a library - things are bound to get a bit, well, unexpected. Now, Taurus, bless their hearts, they love a good routine. They're the type to have their entire life scheduled in a planner, including when to breathe and blink. But Uranus? That celestial jester just adores shaking things up. It's like watching your grandma try to figure out how to use an iPhone - there's a lot of resistance, confusion, and quite possibly some swearing involved. Here's the kicker though - despite the initial shock and outrage, these changes are going to take us somewhere beautiful. Picture it like this: you've been driving the same old beat-up car for years, and one day it finally gives up the ghost. You're upset because now you have to deal with public transport, but then you win a brand new, shiny Tesla in a raffle. See? That's Uranus for you. With Taurus holding the reins on the money side of things, Uranus waltzing in could bring about some groundbreaking changes. Imagine Bitcoin on steroids, banks turning into virtual reality experiences, stock markets becoming as unpredictable as the plot in any sci-fi series. Your piggy bank might just become an antique! But here's where it gets personal, folks. Uranus isn't just here for a quick jaunt around the universe; it's here to help us break free from those financial chains that have been holding us down. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages - they're all going to feel the Uranus effect. During this transit, it's time to redefine our relationship with money and materialism. It's not about resisting the change, it’s about riding the wave, or in this case, the cosmic energy. Remember, my friends, in the words of the wise Deep Thought supercomputer: "Don't Panic!" because these changes might just lead us to a more stable future. And who knows? In the process, we might even discover the answer to life, the universe, and everything!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 27 Pis 21' 48", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4365056083km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, well, well... it appears Neptune has decided to take a little vacation in Pisces, and let me tell you, it's like a gelatin dessert at a vegan potluck – it's causing a bit of a stir! Now, for those of you who don't have the luxury of being 4365102624.630883217km away from your problems (like our dear friend Neptune), this might seem like a cosmic curveball. But hey, look on the bright side, it’s retrograde! Aye, that's right, Neptune's moonwalking across the dance floor of the sky, and it's throwing a few things into sharp focus. Neptune in Pisces is like wearing a pair of 3D glasses in a 2D world. Suddenly, all the noise fades away, and you realize that arguing about whether Star Wars or Star Trek is better is as pointless as a square wheel. In the grand cosmos of things, these differences are as insignificant as Pluto... I mean, it's not even a planet anymore (too soon?). This cosmic confluence is like the universe handing out homework. It's asking us to get introspective, figure out what we bring to the planetary potluck. Got a knack for knitting sweaters for squirrels? A penchant for penning prose about potatoes? Whatever it is, it's time to share it with the world. Neptune's jaunt in Pisces is also a golden opportunity to get in touch with your spiritual side. Whether that means turning your house into a temple or joining the local Jedi academy, now's the time to explore. And remember, just like that one physics class in high school, the universe has got your back. So, if you're feeling a little lost in the interstellar shuffle, take heart, my star-seeking friends. Neptune's retrograde romp through Pisces is a cosmic reminder that we're all just stardust, bumbling through space, trying to make sense of it all. And isn't that a comforting thought? So, buckle up, space cadets. With Neptune in Pisces, it's going to be one heck of a ride. And remember, in the immortal words of Captain Kirk, “Beam me up, Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here.”

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 47' 40", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5062031947km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Ahoy, cosmic voyagers! Ready for some intergalactic humor? Today's forecast is brought to you by your favorite dwarf planet (no, not Snow White’s pals), Pluto, currently strutting its stuff in the ambitious sign of Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Pluto's been demoted, why should we care?" Oh, darling earthlings, never underestimate the underdog... or underplanet. Pluto might be a wee 2,372 kilometers in diameter, but it's rocking a journey of about 5.062 billion kilometers. That’s like going to your local grocery store and back... 631,265,116 times! Talk about dedication to a diet plan. But let's get back to Pluto's retrograde tango in Capricorn. Imagine Pluto as a cosmic construction worker with a PhD in Astrophysics. It's wearing a hippie bandana, blasting David Bowie's "Starman", and is all about some cosmic DIY. In Capricorn, this means a complete overhaul of our inner power structures. Imagine yourself as a cosmic architect. You know those emotional skyscrapers you've been building? It's time to review the blueprints. If the foundation is shaky, Pluto says, "Tear it down!" But remember, it's not about wanton destruction; it's about creating space for something more stable, more durable. And while Pluto is swinging the sledgehammer, it's also whispering in our ears, "Don't forget to listen, my earthling friend." Yes, Pluto and Capricorn may seem a little bossy-pants, but they're also reminding us to respect other perspectives. After all, we're all spinning in this cosmic dance together. So, dear stargazers, while Pluto is doing the Cha-Cha in Capricorn, remember: it's a time for constructive demolition, for redefining your inner power structures, and for making room for new growth. And remember, like Pluto, you may be small, but you're mighty. Now, go forth and be stellar!

Today will be one of optimism and self-confidence. Your only danger is in becoming over-confident. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch the tendency towards self-aggrandizement, false pride, and over-indulgence in food and drink. Don't overspend, as you are likely to feel extravagant today.Although their intentions are generally good, people with challenging aspects between the Sun and Jupiter are given to overdoing things. They can easily gloss over realistic details and get themselves into debt, overindulge in pleasures such as food and drink, and promise more than they can deliver.For the most part, they find help for their excesses. Somebody’s there to bail them out, as plenty of people believe that their hearts are in the right place. Generally, this is the case, but if excessive behavior becomes a pattern, and the natives continually face light consequences, there is the danger that they will not learn from their mistakes and abuse the “system”, relying on their friends and family to help them out a little too often. Their reputation for being good people, thus, can eventually be used to further their purposes.However, many people with this aspect don’t fall into the trap of losing their sincerity. They are generous, helpful, and charitable. Still, the tendency to live beyond their means is a real threat that many struggle with much of their lives. Another thing to watch for is depression. These people tend to go through periods of intense highs when they are excessively optimistic. These periods are so marked that they seem to be unnatural and a fall seems to be inevitable. They can make promises they intend to keep, but have a problem with follow-through. Self-control can be a real problem. Usually quite knowledgeable and generous with their time, these people have many talents that they may take for granted.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Billy Crystal, Ian Scott Anderson (Jethro Tull), Nell Carter, Edgar Cayce, Linda Goodman, George Lucas, the Olsen twins, Dolly Parton, John Ritter, Oscar Wilde; Oppositions – Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges, Monica Lewinsky, James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner.Alternate interpretations:Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.Sun in hard aspect to Jupiter: Part of your soul purpose is to promote growth and expansion, whether material, intellectual, or spiritual. You are impelled to be involved in large enterprises that have broad social consequences and influence many people, and you need a rather large arena in which to make the impact you wish. You dream BIG dreams and generally possess the self confidence to promote yourself and your ideas on a wide scale. Your willingness to take risks and to branch out into areas you have yet to explore, along with your ability to project into the future and to see the big picture, all add to your capacity to come to prominence and succeed in life in a big way. However, just as unchecked growth and over-development can lead to undesirable consequences for, say, the natural environment, so too can your own urge for “more” or “bigger” have harmful effects. When out of balance, you are prone to exaggerate, to be ostentatious and pretentious, to be overly optimistic and promise things that you can not reasonably do, and to be seemingly unable to limit or restrict yourself in a realistic way. The ego-gratifications you get from being a “big-wig” may become a primary motivation rather than simply an offshoot of your accomplishments. You may be unwilling to pay your dues, too quick to try a shortcut (moral or otherwise) in your eagerness to gain your aspirations. You may also have enjoyed “favored son” or “favored daughter” status in your household growing up, and thus expect things to come easily to you. Generally they do, but relying too much on this kind of luck can lead to errors of judgment on your part, not to mention major disappointments. On a physical level, over consumption could lead to overweight and/or problems with your liver.At your finest, though, you have a generous heart, a positive spirit, and the desire to live for something bigger than yourself. Using these gifts, you can contribute much good to the world as well as your own spiritual refinement. The qualities of hope and joy are also yours to transmit to the world. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.Sun square Jupiter: You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to misjudge through being overly optimistic. However, you never lose your hopes for the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life can be troublesome for you. — Interpretation from the Merlin Report.Sun square Jupiter: You tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career choices. You get carried away and go off in directions contrary to your actual needs. Your judgment in vocational matters is often off, sending you on a wild goose chase. In addition, there is possible difficulty with authorities and the law and/or differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) be your own worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be recommended. — Interpretation from Zet Software.Sun square Jupiter: (The Pompous) Your eye is very much on the “donut” and not on the “hole.” You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by extensive travel. Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center stage to hear your own voice. Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

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.

Today is the day to expand and set new plans into action. Broaden your horizons and don't limit your possibilities. Business ventures are favored, as is higher education, legal matters, spiritual endeavors and charitable pursuits. Luck is all around you today, but you have to make it happen. Don't just sit there waiting for it to come to you.You tend to be restless and prone to boredom. You need a partner who can keep up with your lightning responses to your environment - and one who truly understands your love of intellectual competition and sparring.You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.Communication is important to you. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually, which is admirable indeed!Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong.

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.
