The Sun

Solar activity was at moderate levels. Region 3429 (N11W22, Dai/beta-gamma) produced two M-class (R1-Minor) flares, an M2.9/1n at 16/0038 UTC and a larger M3.3/1b at 16/0538 UTC. The regions intermediate spot delta sheared apart in the latter half of the day. New Region 3435 (N10E69, Dso/beta) was numbered. This new region appears to be the return of old Region 3413 (N10, L=099). The remaining numbered regions were either stable or in gradual decay.

The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind conditions trended towards background levels. Total magnetic field strength steady at ~5nT. Bz was oriented around -5 nT for the latter half of the UT day. Solar wind speeds were mostly between 400-450 km/s. Phi was predominantly oriented in the negative sector.

There is a 30% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 15% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Libra

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Engage your seat belts because the moon is doing a celestial cha-cha in Libra, and let me tell you, this moon ain't no wallflower. Our lunar friend is currently 399491.145424920km away, but don't let that distance fool you. This moon is closer to your heart than you think, especially if you're a Libran. Now, I don't want to cause any interstellar panic, but in the next 24 hours, this moon is going to make like a Starship Enterprise and boldly go from Libra to Scorpio. You see, dear stargazers, when the moon is in Libra, it's like a cosmic tea party, all about balance and harmony. It's like a Vulcan mind meld with your emotional and mental faculties. You'll feel a pull towards diplomacy, peace and, of course, Earl Grey tea. Hot. But don't get too comfortable in your Federation standard issue chair, my friends. As the moon warps into Scorpio's territory, things might get a bit... intense. Think of it as a sudden encounter with the Borg. Resistance is futile, so prepare to embrace transformation and deep emotional exploration. So, whether you're setting phasers to stun or negotiating peace treaties with the Klingons, remember: Life's a cosmic journey, and we're all just hitching a ride on this spaceship we call Earth. Keep your tricorders at the ready and your minds open. Remember, there are always possibilities in the vast universe. So, where no man has gone before, let us boldly go!

Mercury Is In Virgo

Well, buckle up, space cadets! Cosmic newsflash: Mercury has parked its celestial caboose in Virgo, and we're all along for the ride. Now, before we start panicking about interstellar parking tickets, let's dig into what this means. Mercury, our galactic chatterbox, shimmying into Virgo is like upgrading your brain to a supercomputer. You'll be in for a cosmic tune-up, with your wit running sharper than a lightsaber and words cutting through fluff like an intellectual ninja. No more waffling, no more beating around the nebula, it's time to get straighter than Orion's Belt. In this starry state, Virgo’s knack for separating the cosmic wheat from the chaff kicks in. Your capacity to sift through the information black hole will skyrocket, turning you into a walking, talking, fact-checking machine. Got a pile of data as vast as the Andromeda galaxy? No problem! Your Virgo-infused grey matter will sort through it faster than you can say "Pluto's not a planet"! Now, this productivity boost might not feel like a party with the Star Wars cantina band, but it's prime time for substantial progress. You'll dodge conversational asteroids and avoid idea black holes, focusing instead on the nitty-gritty details that push you light years ahead. But wait, don't strap on your jetpacks just yet! This cosmic shift comes with a warning label: Beware of transforming into the universe’s biggest nitpicker. With Mercury in Virgo, it's easy to become so engrossed in fault-finding that you end up raining on someone's intergalactic parade or get frustrated by your own shortcomings. Remember, even Mars has craters. So, as we navigate this astrological alignment, remember to season your words with a pinch of stardust for tact. After all, we're all just trying to find our place in this big ol' universe. Now, who's ready to explore the cosmos?

Venus In Leo: The Cosmic Roar of Love

Beam me up, Scotty! Venus has taken a galactic detour and parked her celestial caboose in Leo. And boy, does she have her party pants on! With Venus in this fiery sign, expect your love life to go from a slow simmer to a full-on volcanic eruption. Leo, the zodiac's most flamboyant sign, isn't about to do anything halfway. This is a sign that literally embodies the phrase "go big or go home." So when Venus, the planet of love, waltzes into this star-powered domain, you can expect a cosmic disco of epic proportions. Love under the influence of Venus in Leo is like a musical extravaganza with you as the star. Forget about those quiet declarations of love – we're talking Broadway-level professions here. Prepare for an onslaught of dramatic love sonnets, impromptu dance numbers, and possibly the occasional serenade beneath your window. Maybe you're thinking: "But I just want someone to like me!" Well, sorry to break it to you, but Venus in Leo doesn't do 'like'. She does 'adore'. If you're not ready for the spotlight, better take a raincheck on love during this transit. And oh, beware of the green-eyed monster. Leo can be a bit of a drama king or queen, especially when they feel their limelight is being stolen. So, if your significant other starts acting like a reality TV star, remember - it's just Venus in Leo stirring the pot. When it comes to money, think of it as your magic carpet to the world of glitz and glamour. Leo loves the finer things in life, so don't be surprised if you find yourself prioritizing haute couture over groceries. But remember, Leo's heart is as big as its mane, and it loves to share. So, don't forget to spread the wealth and make someone else feel like a million bucks. So buckle up, space cadets! Venus in Leo is about to take us on a wild ride through the constellation of love. It's a cosmic reminder that life should be full of fun, excitement, and yes, a little drama. After all, what's life without a spark of adventure?

Mars in Libra: A Cosmic Tango

Hold on to your telescopes, folks! Our celestial buddy Mars, the red planet of get-up-and-go, has decided to shimmy its way into Libra, the cosmic symbol of balance and partnerships. Picture this: Mars, the galactic equivalent of a high-octane energy drink, is high-tailing it through the peaceful, tea-sipping realm of Libra. It's like inviting a hyperactive toddler to a meditation retreat - hilarity ensues!

So what does this mean for you, my lovely earthlings? Well, first off, you might notice everyone being a tad more pleasant than usual, a bit like they've all had a shot of 'nice' juice. Nobody wants to rock the cosmic boat while Mars is in Libra. We're all about harmony, peace, and avoiding any interplanetary showdowns. It’s like a universal ‘kumbaya’ moment!

But, like trying to sweep a black hole under a space rug, ignoring bigger problems isn't exactly a walk in the Milky Way. Just because Mars is playing nice doesn't mean we should repress our feelings. Remember, this is a time of celestial diplomacy. Use your cosmic powers to discuss difficult subjects with grace, love, and hopefully, fewer foot-in-mouth moments.

And let’s not forget, Libra is the sign of justice. So, while Mars is doing its cosmic tango in this diplomatic sign, it's also a perfect time to fight for what's fair. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know equality matters!

However, be warned! You might find yourself waltzing around in circles of indecision and procrastination. Mars is all about making a move, whereas Libra is like that friend who takes forever to order at a restaurant, wanting to make sure it's absolutely the right choice. But remember, as long as you're acting with love, intention, and fairness, you're making the universe proud under Mars in Libra.

So, space cadets, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the interstellar ride. And remember, even in the vast expanse of the cosmos, it’s all about balance.

Jupiter in Taurus: A Cosmic Comedy of Errors

Alright folks, we've got Jupiter, the big cheese of the cosmos, parking its interstellar SUV in the driveway of Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn homebody. Picture this, Jupiter, the intergalactic mentor, encouraging deep thought and existential pondering while our bull-headed Taurus is just trying to binge-watch the latest series on Netflix. It's like trying to have a philosophical debate at a frat party. But fear not, even amidst this cosmic sitcom, there are lessons to be gleaned.

Think of Jupiter in Taurus as that eccentric gym trainer you never asked for but suddenly can't live without. It's here to push you towards your dreams, one painful yet satisfying squat at a time. Yes, we're talking about practical, planned to-do lists - the kind that makes you feel like a successful adult even when you're eating cereal for dinner. With Jupiter's drive for improvement and Taurus' bulldog determination, it's time to trust the process, even if it feels like learning to walk in zero gravity.

Now, did someone say 'prosperity'? Because the cosmic combination of Jupiter, the planet of good luck (think lottery wins and finding money in old jeans), and Taurus, the zodiac's answer to Wall Street, has the potential to turn your pockets from ghost towns to bustling metropolises. But don't get too excited; remember, Taurus is also the sign of overindulgence, so try not to blow your cosmic windfall on every shiny bauble that catches your eye.

So strap in, space cadets! While Jupiter's vacation in Taurus might seem like a sci-fi sitcom, it's actually an opportunity to tap into your inner wisdom, make strides towards your dreams, and potentially boost your bottom line. Just remember to keep your impulses in check, or you might find yourself splurging on a rocket ship when all you needed was a bicycle!

Saturn Is In Pisces

The Saturn Soiree with Pisces

Alright, stargazers! Let's buckle up our rocket boots because Saturn, the intergalactic taskmaster, is visiting our dreamy friend Pisces. And oh boy, this is not your usual tea party. It's like your nerdy calculus tutor showing up at your psychedelic love-in.

Now, before you start freaking out, remember that Saturn, despite his stern reputation, is really just that tough-love kind of guy. He's the one who's going to make you do your homework before you get lost in your daydreams about opening the world's first kitten cafe or writing a novel about zombie unicorns. Sure, he might seem like a buzzkill, but trust me on this, when he's done with you, those dreams are going to be so well-planned they'll practically manifest themselves.

But let's not fool ourselves, when Saturn barges into Pisces' dreamy realm, it's a bit like your dad crashing your slumber party. He's there, clipboard in hand, asking all sorts of uncomfortable questions about your ambition to become the world's leading authority on inter-dimensional potato chips. But hey, if you can handle the heat, you'll come out with a business plan so solid even the most conservative bank manager would give you a loan.

Now, with Saturn in town, Pisces' usually peaceful neighborhood might feel a bit restless. Like trying to sleep while your mind decides to marathon-run all your anxieties. My advice? Embrace your inner hippie. Meditate, commune with nature, breathe deeply, and let your worries float away on the cosmic winds. Maybe even hit the hay a bit earlier to give your brain some extra downtime. And keep a dream diary handy, because Saturn might just leave you a nugget of wisdom in your dreams.

So, let's make the most of this cosmic confluence, my starry-eyed friends. Remember, Saturn in Pisces is not here to rain on your parade, but to march alongside you, ensuring that your dreams don't just float away, but turn into your reality.

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 22 Tau 55' 25", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2855902587km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Eh up, star-gazers! Grab your telescopes and prepare for a celestial shakeup because Uranus is donning its retrograde dancing shoes and waltzing right into Taurus' territory. Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Uranus is a whole 2,855,968,836.920326233km away!" Don't let the distance fool you, though. The cosmic ripples are about to hit your life like a Doctor Who plot twist! Taurus, the celestial embodiment of the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," is about to get a taste of Uranus' penchant for sudden change. Imagine trying to teach a Cyberman to salsa dance - that's the kind of clash we're talking about here. Taurus prefers the comfort of tradition, but Uranus is about as traditional as a Dalek in a tutu. Now, Taurus is pretty savvy when it comes to finances. When Uranus crashes this money party, expect some revolutionary ways of dealing with dosh to emerge. And I'm not just talking about a new app for splitting the bill at the pub. We might see new forms of currency, dramatic shifts in banking, and the housing and stock markets doing the Time Warp. On a more personal note, Uranus is here to take us on a journey that even the TARDIS might balk at. It's time to break free from the financial black holes that suck up our money faster than a Weeping Angel can move. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages... all these chains could loosen under this transit. You might feel like you're trapped in a paradox loop, but trust me - Uranus is here to liberate us faster than a Sonic Screwdriver can unlock a door. Resisting change is as futile as trying to win a staring contest with a Medusa Cascade. So buckle up, my cosmic companions, and prepare for a ride that's going to bring stability as long-lasting as the Doctor's age! Remember, in the end, we're all just stardust on a spinning rock in space, trying to make sense of the universe. And in the words of the Doctor: "We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?" So let's make our Uranus in Taurus story a cracking good one!

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 26 Pis 19' 57", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4323685851km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Hey there, fellow stargazers! So, remember that distant cousin of Earth named Neptune? Yeah, the one who's a little blue and hangs out about 4,323,687,463.360603333km away. Well, our far-out cousin is currently having a little party in Pisces. And just like your Uncle Bob at Thanksgiving, he's gone retrograde. In layman’s terms, Neptune is moonwalking back through the astrological dance floor. Neptune taking a dip in the Piscean pool is like your nerdy friend finally getting their WiFi connected. The universe is downloading some serious knowledge and insight right now, folks. It's like upgrading from dial-up to fibre-optic broadband. You're gonna see through the fog of life clearer than ever before. This astral alignment is urging us to stop squabbling over who used the last of the milk and focus on the bigger picture. Because let's face it, in the grand scheme of the cosmos, that argument is about as significant as a speck of dust on Mars. Now is the time to dust off those hidden talents, those weird gifts that make you unique, like being able to play 'Stairway to Heaven' on the kazoo, or recite every line from 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. You've got something special to offer the world, and Neptune is giving you the cosmic thumbs up to go for it! And if you're feeling extra spiritual, why not build a little shrine at home? Add a few candles, maybe a Bob Ross figurine—nothing says 'peace and tranquility' like happy little trees. Share your newfound wisdom with others. After all, Neptune didn't go retrograde just for you to keep all this enlightenment to yourself. So, grab your telescopes, your crystals, or your replica Staff of Ra, and let's make the most of this celestial soiree. Neptune in Pisces is here to support us on our journey, like a trusty sidekick or a really good pair of sneakers. Remember folks, the cosmos is calling. Don't send it to voicemail.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 01' 23", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5128429352km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Oh, beep boop beep! Okay, stargazers, hold onto your lightsabers, we're taking a cosmic trip to the far, far away... like, 5,128,379,636.589214325km far away (that's a lot of parsecs) to chat about Pluto in Capricorn. Now, these two celestial bodies are tighter than Han and Chewie, both boasting a go-getter, no-nonsense attitude that makes them the Boba Fett of the zodiac - they always get their man. Or goal. Or whatever. But this steadfast focus can come at a price – just as Darth Vader was a bit single-minded about his whole Death Star thing, this transit could have you ignoring the Ewoks in your life, those with differing opinions or softer voices. So avoid going full Sith Lord, and remember: embracing different perspectives can help build a more robust rebel alliance. Pluto, like a cosmic Marie Kondo, is all about decluttering our lives from the negative patterns that don't spark joy. This involves a bit of a Death Star approach though - blowing up the old to make way for the new. But before you push that big red button, take a moment. Be as deliberate as Obi-Wan disabling the tractor beam. Because you don't want to accidentally destroy the Millennium Falcon when you were aiming for an Imperial Star Destroyer, right? So, as you navigate this astrological asteroid field, remember to keep your blasters set to 'stun'. It's a big galaxy out there, and there's room for all kinds of viewpoints. Happy star trekking, and may the force (and the far-out vibes of Pluto in Capricorn) be with you! Beep beep boop!

Today is a good day to pour your creativity and self-expression into coming up with new ways of doing things. Positive surprises are likely today as your aura is ready for the new and unusual. By going off the beaten pathway, you may open up many possibilities for further spiritual and personal growth. You feel free today from all restrictions and you want to fly like the eagle, unbounded by any restraints. Soar high and don't limit yourself.

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Opposite Neptune

Confusion, uncertainty, and delusions of grandeur characterize this transit. Be alert for deception. Avoid becoming the martyr today just because your self-confidence may be low. Don't buy into every sob story that comes your way and don't play the "poor, poor pitiful me" game. Be careful with contracts. In general, be prepared for any kind of possible misunderstanding.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Neptune often struggle with a desire to be something special or to experience something more than the ordinary. They are day-dreamers and idealists. It is easy for these people to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the outside looking in as unsavory types. They are looking to identify with something beyond what is normally expected of people.Most have in common a childhood that didn’t help the natives direct or define their lives. Perhaps the early family life was lacking in supervision or clearly defined rules. A father figure may have been absent or distant and ineffective. Many people with these aspects have a glorified image of their fathers. Whether the image is very positive or very negative (or if it swings between these extremes), the image is not very clear or rational. Whatever the case may be, these people struggle with defining who they are. They might gravitate towards the “wrong people”, or get in with the “wrong crowd” in an attempt to define who they are. They might be susceptible to being taken advantage of by others, especially by men or authority figures. They can be easily led astray by peculiar desires or self-destructive habits. In order to add a greater-than-ordinary dimension of experience to their lives that helps them to feel special and important, they might be attracted to Neptune-ruled behaviors, such as secret affairs, drugs, or other escapist behaviors. In some way, these people feel a strong urge to glamorize their role in the world. In extreme cases, the natives are completely deluded. However, in most cases, there is simply some confusion about the past (such as remembering childhood experiences in ways that are far removed from reality), and a tendency to daydream about being someone more “important” than they assume they are. They may struggle with early conditioning that made them feel tossed aside or neglected in some way, and certainly not directed and supported.These people are very sensitive, especially with regards to any real or imagined blows to their ego. If the natal chart shows a strong sense of reality and a robust mind (Mercury and Saturn well-placed, for example), the negative interpretations of this aspect are less extreme. Still, the natives are likely to recognize at some point in their lives that they have a tendency to engage in escapist and self-destructive fantasies and/or habits. It is useful to be able to connect these behaviors with their probable source, which is likely to be a weakly-defined ego and identity in childhood.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Anjelica Huston, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Cameron Diaz; Oppositions – Sheena Easton.

Sun Trine Pluto

You can make important changes in your life and in yourself today. The force of your will and the perception to see what needs changing combine to give you the ability to do whatever is required. Regeneration is possible in any area of your life. Change that bad habit, eliminate what is unnecessary or outmoded. You have the force with you today. Group activities can be especially rewarding today as you can help make the groups' goals a reality. People in authority are receptive to changes today. Lay that new idea on them.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. These people are not much scared of anything. They enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the psychological kind. They love a good mystery, and they are adept at solving it. Many people with these aspects feel they have a “calling” or destiny. They readily assign meaning to what others might consider “ordinary” events. They look for symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly.Others tend to respect those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Pluto. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and they are usually quick to help others–not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Their insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. These are perceptive people who are not easily rattled or surprised in life. They are not do-gooders, and they are unlikely law-breakers. However, they are not afraid of the “dark side” of human nature, and they will bend the rules from time to time if they feel the need to do so. Many take particular pleasure in growth and life’s lessons. They are not fond of superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. Some experiment with their powers to deceive at some early point in their lives, but generally grow in their strength and integrity. In fact, many do their best to rid themselves of any self-delusion that we are all susceptible to at times. These people are passionate and can be intense. They have a hunger to experience more than just an “ordinary” life, and they can be quite ambitious. Some are perfectionists, demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty from others.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon the talents of this aspect when necessary, and those with the trine have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Famous People with Sun in easy aspect to Pluto: Sextiles – Christina Aguilera, Lisa Bonet, Bob Dylan; Trines – Ed Asner, James Caan, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Susan Dey, Sam Donaldson, Chris Evert, Bette Midler.Note from Annie: I have perhaps used more words to describe Sun-Pluto aspects than I have with other planetary aspects. This is because I grew up with astrology books that offered rather dire and extreme descriptions of the aspects. Because of this, I had problems identifying with the interpretations of my own Sun conjunction Pluto as being “power-hungry”, “dominating”, and “controlling”. Some descriptions suggested an attraction to crime. Except in extreme cases, Sun-Pluto people are not extremists hell-bent on destroying or dominating everyone around them. However, they do need to come to terms with their “dark side”, their intense fears, and their tendency to be very self-protective. A more humane and psychological approach to defining the aspects can be found in many modern astrology books, and I think it is very beneficial, especially since one of the main challenges to overcome with Sun-Pluto is for the rational ruler of light (the Sun) to identify with the energies of the ruler of dark (Pluto). Nobody benefits if descriptions of the aspects are so extreme that they are quickly dismissed as “wrong”.

Venus Sextile Mars

Harmony in social activities is highlighted today. Activities with the opposite sex are enjoyable and rewarding. Romance is in your blood. Show someone you care for them. They will appreciate your sharing your feelings. Clean your house and do that redecorating you had planned. Make your surroundings more beautiful.It is easy for these people to attract attention of the positive kind. They radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm on some level that others appreciate. Not inclined to try to cover up their flaws, these people have a way of presenting themselves in a straightforward manner, and their ability to admit their mistakes and their fumbles only adds to their charm. They find it easy and natural to get along with both sexes quite equally. They possess considerable creative talent, but whether or not they use it is dependent on other factors. They may take their own talents for granted and often need some kind of stimulus or encouragement to do something with them. One of the reasons for this is the fact that their creativity comes so naturally to them that they may be surprised when others recognize their talents. Similarly, they usually possess athletic ability and may need some encouragement to develop it.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 Venus and Mars have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report — Actively creating harmony and beauty through your work, art, or with people is part of what you are here to do. You have developed a harmonious coordination between the masculine and feminine energies within yourself; thus, you combine strength with grace, power with elegance, decisiveness and effort with pleasure, passion with tenderness and sensitivity. You have a romantic soul.Some positive expressions of this pattern might include athletic activities that have an aesthetic appeal, such as figure skating, or artistic endeavors that are active, such as performing dance or opera singing.Actively bringing people together in some way, for mutual pleasure and benefits, is also one of your gifts.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Mars: Sextiles – Pamela Anderson, Shannen Doherty, Ian Thorpe, Harry Belafonte, Kirk Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Jane Curtin, Matt Damon, Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford, Erich Fromm, Crispin Glover, Elliott Gould, Amy Jo Johnson, Bob Newhart, Molly Ringwald, Robin Williams; Trines – Melissa Anderson, Jason Bateman, Pierre Cardin, Natalie Cole, John Coltrane, Mick Jagger, Ann Jillian, Billie Jean King, Marilyn Manson, Joe Montana, Bonnie Raitt, Eva Mendes, Britney Spears.

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.

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.
