Moon Is In Scorpio

Alright, my celestial enthusiasts! Grab your telescopes and your favourite space-themed pyjamas because we're going on a cosmic journey. The Moon, our lovely lunar companion, has sidled up into Scorpio, that secretive, somewhat brooding sign of the zodiac. Or put simply, the Moon has decided to go all "Sherlock Holmes" on us for a while! Now, for those of you not up to speed with your astronomical measurements, the Moon is exactly 390,029.091286763km away. I know, it's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? To put it in perspective, that's like taking a trip to your local supermarket...about 10 million times. Good luck with that shopping list! Now, what does this Scorpio Moon mean for you? Well, imagine yourself as a detective in a Victorian-era novel. You've got the stylish outfit, the oversized magnifying glass, and an irresistible urge to uncover secrets and solve mysteries. That's how you're going to feel during this period. This might lead to some intense emotions and deep self-reflection. Don't be alarmed if you find yourself pondering about the universe, existentialism, or why Doctor Who always leaves the TARDIS door open. It's perfectly normal. Also, as you're embracing your inner detective, remember to be considerate of others' privacy. Not everyone appreciates their secrets being probed, even if you are doing it in the name of cosmic alignment! So, grab your pet cat, put on your favourite vinyl record, and get ready to dive deep into the mysteries of the universe. And remember, the answer to everything isn't always 42, sometimes it's just realising that we're all specks of stardust, floating on a pale blue dot in an ever-expanding universe. Happy stargazing, my fellow celestial nerds!

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 21 Vir 50' 13", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 106158966km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Well, well, well, what have we here? Mercury in Virgo, eh? It’s almost as if the universe has suddenly decided to put on its smarty pants. You see, when Mercury, the planet equivalent of that nerdy kid who always carried around extra pencils in school, sidles up to Virgo, it's like a meeting of two masterminds in the cafeteria. There's no fluff here, folks. These two are about as straightforward as a Stormtrooper's aim... and we all know how that usually goes. Now, don't get your lightsabers in a knot. This isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's quite the opposite. With Mercury in Virgo, our minds are sharper than a Jedi's intuition. Our speech becomes as precise as a well-executed Death Star trench run. No longer will we be tempted to sugar-coat our words. Instead, we're cutting through the clutter faster than Vader can force-choke an incompetent officer. And talk about productivity! I mean, who needs droids when you've got this kind of efficiency? Virgo, in all its detail-oriented glory, is like the ultimate overachieving protocol droid. It helps us strip out all the unnecessary info and focus on what really matters. You'll be making progress faster than the Millennium Falcon on hyperdrive. However, in the wise words of Master Yoda, "Beware!" With all this critical thinking, it's easy to become as nitpicky as a Wookiee with a flea problem. We might start finding faults in everything, from our colleagues' reports to the Ewoks' treehouse designs. Remember, the dark side is quick to capitalise on frustration and negativity. So, try to keep your critiques as tactful as Kenobi in a diplomatic situation. In conclusion, Mercury in Virgo might not be as fun as a night out at the Mos Eisley Cantina, but it sure is an opportune time for getting things done. So, grab your metaphorical lightsaber, tap into your inner Jedi and use this time to your advantage. And may the force...I mean, stars, be with you!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is retrograde at 14 Leo 57' 05", moving backwards at 0.45 degrees per day, and is 45178652km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Greetings, cosmic travellers! Buckle up and prepare for a celestial roller coaster ride because Venus has parked her spaceship in Leo's orbit. And let me tell you, folks, it's not your average nonchalant planetary visit. Venus in Leo is like that one friend who insists on throwing the grandest parties, complete with dramatic entrances, sparkly outfits, and a karaoke machine. So, if you've been hoping for a quiet, introverted time ahead, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... not happening, my friend! When Venus sashays into the kingdom of Leo, she demands to be the center of attention. And why not? She's the goddess of love, after all. It's like when a cat walks into a room full of dogs - chaos ensues! And with Venus in Leo, it's not just about being loved, oh no. She wants to be adored, worshipped, fawned over. She's the diva of the zodiac, so prepare for some grand love declarations, and don't be surprised if you find yourself serenading your sweetheart from their balcony! Now remember, folks, every coin has two sides. Leo may be the life of the party, but Leo can also be the drama queen. If you're not getting enough attention or if someone else dares to steal your limelight, you might find yourself roaring louder than you intended. But hey, take it easy! Remember, even the Sun doesn't try to outshine the Moon. As far as money goes, Venus in Leo sees it as a way to add extra sparkle to life. Think glitz, glamour, and a little bit of extravagance. It's like having a black hole in your pocket, sucking in all the cash, but instead of disappearing forever, it turns into glittery gifts and lavish experiences. Remember though, while treating yourself is fun, true joy comes from showering others with love and generosity. So, embrace this colorful cosmic dance and remember to enjoy the ride. After all, what's life without a touch of fun, drama, and a dash of glitter? Venus in Leo is here to remind us that life is a celebration, so let's turn the music up and dance like no one's watching!

Mars

Mars is in Virgo

Mars is prograde at 27 Vir 15' 26", moving at 0.64 degrees per day, and is 368301122km away and receding.

Mars Is In Virgo

Beam Me Up, Mars-Virgo!

Alright my celestial voyagers, so we've got the Red Planet, Mars, currently taking a cosmic vacation in the orderly land of Virgo. You know Mars, the "Just do it" planet - not to be confused with Nike's slogan, mind you - and Virgo, the master of 'doing it right or not doing it at all.' So, what happens when these two collide? Think of it like the most efficient space robot you can imagine, programmed for ultimate productivity.

Now, Virgo rules the 6th House - no, not the one from Game of Thrones, but the House of Health and Self-Improvement. What does this mean? Well, it's as if Mars has suddenly decided to subscribe to a new intergalactic health and fitness magazine. It's time to dust off your gym membership card, swap your cheesy fries with a salad, and start meditating instead of contemplating the meaning of Star Trek episodes. The good news is that Mars in Virgo loves routine more than a Trekkie loves a Starfleet uniform, so any healthy habits you start now will stick like Spock's Vulcan grip.

But beware, fellow stargazers! This cosmic cocktail can make us a tad too critical. You may find yourself wanting to express your opinions more forcefully than a frustrated Klingon. Remember, nobody likes a nitpicker, unless you're picking nits from your Wookie co-pilot. And watch out for those self-criticism lasers; they're set on stun. Cut yourself some slack, and practice patience like a wise old Jedi.

So, instead of focusing on who misplaced the sonic screwdriver, use this cosmic energy to tackle tasks that require attention to detail. Balancing your budget, planning for a starship cruise, learning a new alien language, or job hunting in the Alpha Quadrant - whatever floats your spaceship. With Mars in Virgo, there's no better time for taking care of your personal galaxy and launching your projects into hyperdrive!

Jupiter In Taurus: A Cosmic Comedy

Alright folks, strap in, because Jupiter - yes, that big ol' gas giant, the Santa Claus of our solar system, is sauntering into Taurus, the astrological equivalent of a tenacious tortoise. What do you get when you mix cosmic wisdom with stubborn sensibility? A whole lot of procrastination on enlightenment, that's what!

See, Jupiter is the cool college professor of planets, always dropping wisdom bombs and broadening horizons. And Taurus, well, Taurus is the kid at the back of the class, doodling in its notebook, dreaming of lunch. When these two come together, it's like a celestial sitcom where everyone learns a valuable life lesson by the end of each episode.

Taurus, being the ambitious earth sign it is, won't just be daydreaming about that triple-decker sandwich. No, it's got bigger plans. And with Jupiter playing the role of motivational speaker, we're all about to get a big ol' kick in the ambition. Get ready to tackle that towering to-do list with a fervor usually reserved for Black Friday sales.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Jupiter, the planet of good luck in Taurus, the sign of wealth? I'm about to be swimming in cash!" Well, hold your horses, or rather, your bulls. Keep in mind, Taurus also has a penchant for the finer things in life- think truffle oil on everything. The risk of confusing need and want is as real as mistaking margarine for butter. So, while this transit may feel like hitting the jackpot, try not to spend it all in one place... or on one high-end artisan cheese.

In summary, Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic comedy show. There'll be lots of laughs, some life lessons, and maybe even a little bit of luxury. Just remember to keep your wits about you and enjoy the ride. And don't forget to tip your waitstaff- they might be Tauruses too!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 04 Pis 08' 38", moving backwards at 0.08 degrees per day, and is 1311330257km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Alright, my celestial voyagers, gather 'round! It seems our dear old taskmaster, Saturn, has found himself loungin' in the dreamy realm of Pisces. Now, don't start throwin' a cosmic fit just yet. This here is an opportunity, like finding a rare alien artifact in a pile of space junk. Saturn in Pisces is akin to a wise, if somewhat grumpy, mentor figure showing up at your dreamscape's front door. He's not there to dampen your spirits or squash your fantasies, but rather to help you make sense of them. You know, like those complex space navigation charts we all pretend to understand. So, get your cerebral notepads ready, folks, 'cause ol' Saturn is about to give you a proper lesson in dream realization. Sure, it might feel like you're being interrogated by a Federation officer, but remember - it's all in service of turning those moonbeams of yours into solid, tangible reality. Now, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it, with all this mental activity, you might find yourself more restless than a tribble on caffeine. But fret not, my cosmic comrades! This is the perfect time to try out those relaxation techniques you've been ignoring. Meditate, take a nature walk, heck, even nap if you want. Just remember, keep that dream journal handy - you never know when inspiration will strike! So, let's welcome Saturn in Pisces like an unexpected but ultimately helpful guest. After all, even the sternest of captains can steer us towards uncharted territories of growth and self-discovery. Now go forth, my star-studded adventurers, and may your dreams be as vast and infinite as the universe itself!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 23 Tau 03' 40", moving at 0 degrees per day, and is 2915361480km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Beam Me Up, Uranus: Taurus Edition

Holy smokes, star gazers! Guess who’s crashing the Taurus party? Our dear buddy Uranus, that’s who! Now, I know what you're thinking. Taurus and change go together like cats and bubble baths - not the best mix. Taurus loves routine like a space geek loves Star Trek marathons. But folks, here's the cosmic plot twist - our far-out friend Uranus is all about shaking things up!

So brace yourselves, because Uranus doesn't care if Taurus would rather binge-watch Babylon 5 than face change. This celestial rebel is about to turn the Taurus world upside down, and this could mean some serious space-time continuum style shifts.

Now onto the fun stuff - money! Taurus' favorite topic, right after ‘why are there no good vegan options at KFC?’ With Uranus in town, we're talking super nova changes to how we handle our moolah, both on a personal and global scale. We might see new currencies sprouting like mushrooms after a rainstorm, or banks transforming faster than you can say "Quantum Physics!" And hold onto your socks because the housing and stock markets might be in for a rollercoaster ride that'd impress even Spock.

On the personal front, Uranus in Taurus is like a financial decluttering fairy, encouraging us to break those chains of credit card debts, mortgages, and that weird tax thing you never understood. It's time to redefine our relationship with money and materialism. We're all going to be financial minimalists by the end of this, whether we like it or not. Because, let's face it, resisting Uranus is like trying to argue with a Vulcan - futile and slightly embarrassing.

So buckle up, cosmic voyagers. The changes Uranus ushers in might be as comfortable as teleportation without pants, but they're here to liberate us. And who knows, maybe these changes will even bring us to a point of greater stability, like finding a prime parking spot at a Star Wars convention.

Remember, in the words of the great Captain Kirk, "Change is the essential process of all existence." So let's boldly go where no Taurus has gone before!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 26 Pis 59' 17", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4338820361km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

"Houston, we have a solution! Neptune is doing the backstroke in Pisces and boy, does that make things a wee bit interesting. Now before you roll your eyes and say, 'Astrology is not rocket science,' remember, I'm a scientist first, my fellow star-gazers, and this cosmic event is scientifically fascinating! Neptune in Pisces is like Spock at a Star Trek convention: right at home and ready to mind-meld with anyone who'll listen. It's where Neptune's love affair with all things ethereal becomes a reality TV show entitled 'Neptune's Got Emotions'. And, let me tell you, the ratings are astronomical! Imagine you're in a sci-fi movie. You've been granted X-ray vision by some benevolent alien race. Now, instead of seeing through walls (or people's clothing - naughty, naughty), you see into people's hearts, their dreams, their fears, and their hopes. You suddenly realize that arguing over who left the toilet seat up or didn't refill the coffee pot is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. This is a time to put our individual superpowers to work for the betterment of all humankind. Think of it as a cosmic team-building exercise. Maybe you're good at finding lost socks, or perhaps you know exactly how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Whatever your talent, Neptune in Pisces says, 'Use it for the greater good, my friend.' It's also the perfect time to explore your spiritual side. Sign up for that meditation course you've been eyeing, or build a zen garden in your backyard. Just remember, if any neighbors peek over the fence and ask what you're doing, just tell them you're communing with Neptune. They'll either nod knowingly or slowly back away. Either way, you win. This is a time of spiritual awakening, emotional growth, and realizing that we're all interconnected, just like those little plastic pieces in an epic LEGO set. So, grab your metaphorical hard hat and toolbox, folks. We've got a world to build, one piece at a time."

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 24' 32", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5081714385km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Hey, star gazers and cosmic cadets! Pull up a chair, grab your favorite nerd glasses, and let's get ready to blast off into some astrological infotainment. So, Pluto is currently on its leisurely saunter through Capricorn, right? Now, for those of you who are new to this, you're probably thinking "Wait, didn't they demote Pluto to dwarf planet status?" Yes, they did, and we're still not over it. But in astrology, we don't care about such trivial matters. Pluto packs quite a punch in our horoscopes, even if it's basically the runt of the solar family. Pluto, in its retrograde dance, is like that friend who shows up at your party and starts rearranging your furniture because "the energy flow is all wrong in here." It’s all about transformation, rebirth, deep dives into the subconscious. This guy doesn't do anything halfway, so buckle up! And Capricorn? Oh boy, where do I start? Capricorn is like that overachieving cousin of yours who makes you look bad at family reunions. They're all about structure, discipline, and achievement. Mix Pluto's transformative energy with Capricorn's drive for success, and you have a recipe for some serious overhaul. Now, here’s where things might get a little tricky. Both Pluto and Capricorn can be a bit...intense. They're so focused on results that they can come off as being intolerant of other people's ideas. So, while Pluto is chilling in Capricorn, make sure you're not dismissing others' viewpoints just because they don't align with your own. And remember, kids: Pluto wants us to ditch those bad habits that aren't working for us anymore. But hey, it's not all doom and gloom. Think of it as an opportunity for some cosmic housecleaning. It’s like Marie Kondo-ing your life, but with more celestial drama. Just be mindful about what parts of your life you decide to 'declutter'. After all, you wouldn't throw out your favorite Star Wars T-shirt just because it has a few holes in it, right? So go forth, brave space cadets, armed with this knowledge. Navigate your way through this transit with a little less fear and a lot more understanding. And may the force (or at least the gravitational pull) be with you!

The Sun

Sun Opposite 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.

Mercury

Mercury Trine Uranus

Your thinking today is ingenious, original, clever, sharp, and magnetic. Electricity is in your head and probably the rest of your body. You are full of nervous energy, but it is the type that can help you accomplish more. New and exciting opportunities may come about today through travel, conversations with others, or through new reading material. Go exploring.You are open to new ideas, and come up with your own fair share of unique perspectives yourself. You have a technical bent and might take special interest in computers, technology, and science. Your intuition is very strong and mostly leads you in the right direction. You have a friendly, tolerant, and unprejudiced manner. You avoid making unfair judgments, being hypocritical, or stereotyping. You are very truthful and abhor modes of thinking that are biased and narrow. You are resourceful, witty, and quick to grasp and understand new subjects. Your thinking is often quite naturally outside of the box and very quick, and it can be baffling to you when you observe others who don’t get to the same conclusions as you in half the time. Still, you require much space and freedom to do your own thinking, and you don’t take kindly to anyone trying to force-feed you information or opinions. You are at your mental best and most cooperative when you have had the chance to find your own inspiration, and you easily feel hypocritical if you don’t–a feeling that doesn’t sit well with you one bit.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mercury and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Lawrence Welk, John Steinbeck, Donald Sutherland, Erik Satie, Martin Sheen; Trines – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Tracey Ullman, Marilyn Manson

Venus

Venus Square Jupiter

You will probably overindulge yourself today, with regrets later. This is true both with eating and spending. A distinct laziness may overcome you and you will want to be pampered. Self-discipline is needed in order to avoid trouble now or later. Others may think you are too spoiled. Don't procrastinate.These people are big-hearted and warm, with open hearts and a tendency to want to give a lot to the people they love. They can have some problems with following through on their promises, however–not because of any ill intent, but because they sometimes overestimate their personal capabilities, and want to do more, and give more, than is actually possible. At distinct times in their lives, they have a tendency to live beyond their means. They need to be cautious about the tendency to feel overly-optimistic or overly protected. Borrowing from their future and overdoing their indulgence in pleasures is a marked tendency. While people with the conjunction, sextile, or trine between Venus and Jupiter express their bigheartedness, tolerance, generosity, and magnanimity in a generally constant and natural manner, these same expressions for those people with the square, opposition, and quincunx between these planets tend to be problematic at times. Their need for growth, good humor, and fun in their relationships is marked, as is their disdain for insincerity. However, they may attract just those kinds of people simply because they are looking so hard for these traits that they assign them onto undeserving people!Moderation is the most important, and perhaps challenging, lesson in these people’s lives.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report — Your sense of form and harmony extend into the important relationships of your life. You seek a strong philosophical connection to match the physical passion. Faithfulness is a key factor if your relationship is to support your spiritual growth, and trust has to work both ways in the partnership.Some Famous People with the Venus in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Jason Alexander, Pearl Buck, Julia Child, Joe Cocker, Sean Connery, Alice Cooper, Billy Corgan, e.e. Cummings, John Denver, Michael J. Fox, Andy Gibb, Linda Goodman, Jim Jones, Jessica Lange, David Lynch, Dolly Parton, Tom Paxton, Robert Redford, Lynn Redgrave, Oral Roberts, Maria Shriver, Britney Spears, Tina Turner, Jon Voight, Betty White; Oppositions – Drew Carey, Billy Ray Cyprus, Victor Hugo, Quincy Jones, Tom Selleck, Cat Stevens.

Mars

Mars Opposite Neptune

Your relationships with people today may involve the quality of deception. Either you are not being honest with them or they are not being honest with you. Be careful of people who come to you with hard luck stories and ask for your help. They may really need your help or they may just be trying to scam you. Use discrimination. Not everyone who asks for help deserves your help. It may be better to let them help themselves. Knowing the difference is one of the most difficult things to learn. Certainly do nothing today that isn't entirely above board or you will pay for it dearly later on. Honesty is the best policy. Misunderstandings can occur so mirror back to others what you understand them to have said and see if they agree with your interpretation. You may feel more sensitive today than usual. Don't feel bad if your ego feels bruised. Things may not be as they appear.This is a challenging position, as you have difficulty trusting in your ability to go after things that you want in a direct manner. It may also be that you have difficulty pinpointing what it is that you want, or that part of you doesn’t feel you deserve it due to a basic lack of self-confidence. You fear rejection as well as criticism, and often use roundabout means to go after what you want.Your imagination is so powerful that it can be hard to trust your instincts. You easily imagine things going wrong, just as you easily fantasize about good things! Your desire nature is strong yet also very suggestible. You’re attracted to mysteries and intrigue. Sexual experimentation is likely, as you are forever addicted to sensuality and unusual or perhaps even what many would consider perverted sexual scenarios. However, your sensual appetite might be much like a bottomless pit, and you could find yourself forever in a state of wanting more, tiring of regular sexual scenarios quickly, and endlessly searching for the next sensation. If an addiction to fantasy is present, you can find yourself constantly chasing a new and more complicated fantasy. It is only when you get into touch with your heart and discover your true desires that you realize that sensations are merely sensations–not deeply satisfying or fulfilling.Fears of sexual inadequacy can be great with this position, and you may either deny yourself as a result, or overcompensate, seeking out experiences in which you are pretty much assured positive feedback. Some of you will experience both of these extremes in your lifetime. I have a client with this position who has a “trophy” wife, and she often denies him, and even belittles him, on a sexual level. He accepts this but “gets her back” behind her back, having serial affairs with women who are not considered as attractive for whatever reason and with whom he attempts to reclaim his power.One of the interesting things about this position is that if you are involved in immoral activities, guilt has a way of cropping up in unusual ways, and could lead you on a self-destructive path–and you might even know that you’re heading that way, yet you compulsively follow that path. Part of you might want to get caught! You might, for example, know in your mind that doing something is risky, yet you compulsively do it anyhow, perhaps even finding the challenge invigorating.Although you can be very creative at keeping your motives and personal agenda hidden–in fact, many of you seem on the surface of things to be quite gentle and yielding–you might eventually become resentful if you feel the need to resort to sneakiness in order to get what you want out of life. This is one of the things that has struck me as the most common characteristics of Mars-Neptune people. It’s not that they don’t get angry or show that anger. However, many will give in to another’s desires more often than not, yet become resentful of that person who seems to have control over them. Some will give up their power to a partner, for example, often taking the role as the one who gives in or gives up things in order to make the other happy. However, resentment for this builds, and while people with harmonious Mars-Neptune aspects more easily yield to others without anger for doing so, those with hard Mars-Neptune aspects are more likely to feel stepped upon, and to retaliate in covert ways. If you do feel resentment for giving up your power to someone else, learn to avoid giving it up unless you truly understand that you are doing it for yourself, and not for someone else. Resentments have a way of building and distorting themselves into ugly matter if you don’t deal with them properly and directly. You are often passive-aggressive in your approach to others, and this can cause a lot of problems in your life.You are usually found chasing a dream… or a fantasy. The former is probably the better path.Somehow, others are bound to eventually sense that you are not to be trusted, and this is often for good reason! You may not like to admit this to yourself, as you may have built excuses for your deceptive or sneaky behavior. However, adopting a more direct and assertive approach to life is something that you should be working towards. You will need to get over your feelings of guilt when you do adopt this approach. Learning to take responsibility for your actions, and to avoid blaming others for failures, is important.At your worst, you can be disorganized in your approach to life, easily procrastinating and lacking follow-through when you do begin a task. Some of the most important lessons you need to learn in life are self-control, self-assertion, and trust in yourself. At your best, you are a creative person with a powerful imagination and great stores of compassion.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Ben Affleck, James Barber, Erma Bombeck, Jimmy Buffet, Barbara Bush, Sandra Dee, Melissa Etheridge, Eddie Fisher, Jodie Foster, Conan O’Brien, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, Andy Warhol, Sharon Tate.

Mars

Mars Trine Pluto

Your high energy and sheer force of will can be used today to help others accomplish much. Do something today for the good of society. Your actions today can be an inspiration to others, so get out there and get involved. You will find that others want you to succeed so help them as you help yourself.You are committed, determined, and passionate. For you, it’s all or nothing, and you are baffled by, and possibly impatient with, others who do things only halfway or half-heartedly. You are usually quite decisive, and often unwavering once committed. You are certainly a passionate person and you possess a fascinating and commanding aura.
