Moon Is In Gemini

Alright, all you celestial beings out there, lend me your cosmic ears because we've got some intergalactic news coming your way! The Moon, our favorite celestial nightlight, is currently residing in the Airbnb of Gemini - but don't get too comfy, 'cause she's got her bags packed to head over to Cancer's place in the next 24 hours. Now, don't panic! This isn't some sci-fi horror movie where the moon is hurtling towards us at breakneck speed. No, no, she's still a cool 388,930.048622363km away. That's roughly equal to 1,294,489,490.492 feet if you're into that sort of thing. So, no need to grab your space helmets just yet! Gemini, the twin sign, is known for its duality, much like how I can't decide whether to wear my Star Trek or Star Wars t-shirt today. It's a tough call; both have their merits. But I digress! During this time, you might find yourself juggling two ideas, two options, or perhaps two chocolate bars (I won't judge!). You may also be feeling more communicative - so don't be surprised if you find yourself engaging in conversation with your cat, your plants, or even your toaster. But remember, the Moon is a fickle mistress, and she's already got one foot out the door, heading towards Cancer. So, if any of you happen to be crustaceans under the zodiac, keep your pincers ready to welcome her. In conclusion, folks, the cosmos is a crazy, beautiful ballet of planets and stars, and we're just along for the ride. So buckle up, keep your arms and legs inside the spaceship at all times, and enjoy the journey. Until next time, stay nerdy, my friends!

Mercury

Mercury is in Sagittarius

Mercury is retrograde at 26 Sag 08' 14", moving backwards at 1.14 degrees per day, and is 103421458km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Sagittarius

Well, space travelers, grab your calculators and your telescopes because our dear friend, Mercury has decided to take a road trip to Sagittarius! Now bear with me while I get my nerd on. With a whopping distance of 103350640.461627424km between us and Mercury, it's safe to say that 'out of sight, out of mind' doesn't quite cut it here, does it? Now, Mercury, that interstellar chatterbox, is all about the details, the facts, the 1s, and 0s. But Sagittarius? Oh, our bow-wielding buddy is all about the big picture, the grand vision, the 'where do we see ourselves in five years' kind of future. So, when meticulous Mercury decides to bunk up with Sagittarius, it's like a meticulous mathematician moving in with a freewheeling philosopher. Sounds like a sitcom waiting to happen, right? With Sagittarius infusing a shot of adrenaline into everything it touches, Mercury's presence means we might be in for some high-stakes debates and passionate proclamations. But remember folks, keep your wits about you. We want to broaden our horizons not burn bridges. In other words, engage the brain before the mouth. A word of caution though - Mercury in Sagittarius can make us a bit trigger-happy with our words. We might find ourselves firing off phrases faster than a photon torpedo without double-checking our facts or considering other's feelings. So, triple check those words before they warp out of your mouth. We don't want to end up looking like red-shirts in a logic battle with Spock, do we? But it's not all cautionary tales. Sagittarius, our celestial explorer, opens up a universe of possibilities while Mercury is vacationing there. Whether it's planning a trip to the far reaches of the cosmos, learning the intricacies of Klingon, or charting a new career path, now's the time to dream big. So buckle up, space cadets! We're set for one heck of an adventure. Beam me up, Mercury!

Venus Gets Serious in Scorpio

Alright stargazers, brace yourselves! Venus, our cosmic matchmaker, has decided to shimmy into sultry Scorpio. Now, this isn't your typical rom-com scenario where everyone is sipping pumpkin spice lattes, giggling over cute texts. No siree! This is more akin to a dramatic sci-fi thriller where passion is the driving force and love is not for the faint-hearted.

Venus in Scorpio is like your favorite nerdy professor trying to explain quantum physics using romantic poetry. It's intense, it's deep, and it's going to make your brain hurt! But hey, who said love was supposed to be easy? When Venus decides to take a swim in these Scorpio waters, she's not interested in splashing around in the shallow end. No my friends, she's going deep-sea diving, looking for that profound connection that can withstand the pressure at those depths.

Forget about playing it cool or keeping things casual. With Venus in Scorpio, love morphs into an all-consuming quest, something akin to Frodo carrying the One Ring to Mordor. It's heavy, it's intense, and there's probably going to be some sort of giant spider involved. Just kidding! Or am I?

But it's not all doom and gloom. This transit also brings the opportunity to cast light on the darkest corners of your relationships. You know, those little nagging doubts you've been conveniently ignoring while binge-watching the latest Netflix series? Yeah, those. It's time to pop the popcorn, hit pause, and actually deal with them.

And let's talk about money, honey. Venus in Scorpio doesn't just affect your love life. This is a prime time to face any financial fears. Got a secret credit card? It's time for confession. Been eyeing an investment opportunity? Get those spreadsheets ready!

Yes, Venus in Scorpio might feel like you're in the middle of an epic space opera, full of twists and turns. But remember, all this intensity is leading somewhere. If you can navigate through these cosmic waves, you might just find yourself in a bond stronger than any superglue. So buckle up, voyagers, it's going to be a wild ride!

Mars

Mars is in Sagittarius

Mars is prograde at 23 Sag 04' 05", moving at 0.74 degrees per day, and is 365140369km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Sagittarius

Greetings, star gazers and earth dwellers! Guess what? Mars has pulled up its cosmic socks and hiked its way into Sagittarius, and boy, is it a sight to behold. Now, before you start drawing up blueprints for your Martian colony, let's temper our excitement with a dash of scientific reality. Our red neighbor is still a whopping 365158974.521737576km away (give or take a few kilometers for cosmic traffic). But hey, as they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder...or was that 'fonder of astrophysics'? I can never remember. Now, what does all this celestial shuffling mean for us humble earthlings? Well, in layman's terms, imagine Sagittarius as a cosmic archer who's just chugged an energy drink. He's optimistic, bursting with energy, and ready to conquer any obstacle in his path. And Mars? It's bringing the fuel for that fire. This cosmic combo inspires us to dream big, take risks, and view life as a grand adventure. But beware, dear friends, because as much as Mars in Sagittarius may send your ambitions into hyperdrive, there's also a chance you might end up going a tad overboard. Like a kid in a candy store, you might be tempted to grab everything in sight. Remember, moderation is key! You don't want to end up with a cosmic stomachache. As Mars blazes through Sagittarius, we're invited to open up our minds and hearts to new experiences. This isn't about booking a one-way trip to Mars or joining the latest alien cult, but rather about seeking knowledge, understanding, and connection in our own lives. So, get off the couch, dust off those old books, sign up for that class you've been eyeing, or maybe even strike up a conversation with your eccentric neighbor from across the street. In essence, Mars in Sagittarius is a time of exploration and expansion. It's about realizing there's more to our universe than what's on Netflix or trending on Twitter. So go ahead, embrace the cosmic curiosity, and remember: whether you're adventuring across the globe or diving into a new book, every journey starts with a single step...or in this case, a single star. Happy stargazing, folks!

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Alright, space cadets, listen up! Jupiter, that big ol' ball of wisdom in the sky, has decided to take a vacation in Taurus town. Now, before you start daydreaming about centaurs and bullfighting, let me break it down for you. When Jupiter and Taurus get together, it's kind of like the universe is throwing a "find your inner Buddha" party. Jupiter's all about deep thought and wisdom, while Taurus is the zodiac’s equivalent of a tranquilized sloth. So what does this mean for you? Well, it's time to put down that smartphone, turn off the Netflix, and start connecting with that dusty old thing called your soul. But don't worry, it's not all monk-like silence and self-reflection. Jupiter in Taurus can also give you a nudge towards achieving your dreams. Imagine Jupiter as a motivational speaker on steroids, pushing you towards your goals, and Taurus as the dogged taskmaster, making sure you're crossing the t's and dotting the i's on your grand plan. Now, here's the fun part - in the financial department, Jupiter and Taurus are like the dynamic duo of prosperity. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, and Taurus is the Wall Street of the zodiac. So if you've been waiting for the right moment to invest in that startup idea or buy that lottery ticket, now might be the time. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility, and it's easy to confuse wants with needs when you're rolling in dough. Taurus has a bit of a reputation for being an indulgent party animal, and Jupiter isn't exactly known for its restraint. You might find yourself eyeing that third slice of cake or contemplating whether you really need a jet ski. Be careful not to get carried away. So, there you have it. Jupiter in Taurus: a time for introspection, goal-setting, potential fortune, and the occasional overindulgence. Make the most of it, folks!

Saturn in Pisces: Your Out-of-this-World Guide to Inner Peace

Alright stargazers, let's dive into the deep cosmic soup as Saturn, our favorite celestial taskmaster, takes a swim in the mystical waters of Pisces. Now, before you start rolling your eyes like Mulder hearing about government conspiracies, hear me out.

First off, let's just note that Saturn is currently a whopping 1,528,228,087.762077570km away! That's like, what, a few hundred trips to the grocery store for snacks, right? And it's moving prograde, which in layman's terms, means 'forward'. But don't worry, there's no cosmic fender-bender happening here.

Now, Saturn in Pisces might sound like an intergalactic fish out of water. But trust me, this is the perfect time to channel your inner Yoda and gaze inward. Got a dream of penning a bestseller? Or opening a bakery selling only vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, fun-free pastries? Now's the time to plot and plan, my friends.

Just a heads up though - Saturn in Pisces is not exactly a cosmic spa day. Picture your dad barging into your room demanding why you haven't cleaned it yet - that's Saturn in Pisces for you. So, brace yourselves and maybe... clean your room?

And oh boy, with all this energy in the sleep-and-dreams department of Pisces, you might want to stock up on chamomile tea. You may find yourself tossing and turning, or even having weird dreams about being chased by a giant space squid. Pro tip: keep a dream journal handy. You'll never know when they could inspire your next big idea (or your next big laugh!).

So remember to breathe, take a walk in the woods, or do whatever floats your cosmic boat to keep calm. After all, with Saturn in Pisces, it's not just about reaching for the stars, it's about diving deep into the oceans of your dreams. Now go forth, my fellow space nerds, and make those dreams happen!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 19 Tau 31' 16", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2827837574km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! As Captain Jean-Luc Picard might say, "Set phasers to fun!" because we're warping into the cosmic nebula of Uranus in Taurus. Now, Taurus, you're a creature of habit. You love your Earl Grey tea hot, your spacesuits freshly pressed and your spaceship cruising at a steady warp speed. But here's the thing: Uranus is like Q from the Continuum, popping in uninvited, flipping your world upside down and challenging all your preconceived notions. It's a wild card, a cosmic disruptor that's about to beam down some big, sudden changes right on your home turf. You see, Taurus, when it comes to money (your favorite intergalactic currency), Uranus is like an alien with a new kind of math. Brace yourself for some revolutionary shifts in finances. Think new forms of currency (perhaps Starfleet credits?), dramatic banking changes (maybe teleporting tellers?), or even a major shake-up in the housing and stock markets. (Anyone fancy investing in dilithium crystals?) But don't sound the red alert just yet. Remember: resistance is futile. On a personal level, this transit is your chance to boldly go where no Taurus has gone before, breaking free from the grips of financial black holes like debt, taxes, and credit card interest. Material possessions? They're just dead weight in your cargo bay. This is your time to recalibrate your relationship with money and materialism. So buckle up, Taurus. We're on a seven-year mission to explore strange new attitudes towards money, to seek out new financial systems and new liberations, to boldly go where no bull has gone before! Engage!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 25 Pis 00' 06", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4494715292km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, stargazers! Your neighborhood astro-nerd is here, armed with a steaming cup of chai and my trusty telescope, to bring you the cosmic lowdown. Hang onto your space boots, because Neptune—a planet so far away it probably gets its mail by carrier pigeon—is doing a little dance in Pisces. Now, you might be thinking, "Neptune in Pisces? So what? Who cares if a giant blue ball of gas 4,494,647,687.815839767km away (give or take a few meters) is hanging out in the realm of the fish?" Ah, dear star-friends, here's where it gets interesting. Neptune and Pisces are like two peas in an intergalactic pod, both loving all things mysterious, spiritual, and—let's be real—slightly woo-woo. When these two get together, it's like they've found their celestial soulmate, and boy, do they have a lot to talk about. With Neptune shimmying through Pisces, we're being invited to a cosmic ball. One where we can turn off our logical Spock-brains for just a moment and dive into the emotional, the ethereal, and the downright mystical. It's a time when our inner Mr. Miyagi comes to the fore, guiding us towards unity and away from petty squabbles about who left the cap off the toothpaste. So, what can you do during this celestial rendezvous? Maybe it's time to dust off your old dream journal or try out that meditation app you downloaded six months ago. Or perhaps it's time to build that home altar you've been Pinterest-ing, complete with fairy lights and your favorite crystals. But remember, folks, Neptune in Pisces isn't just about personal spiritual exploration. It's also about connecting with others, sharing your discoveries, and realizing that we're all part of this grand, cosmic tapestry. So, go forth, fellow stargazers, and remember: the universe has your back. Or as they say in Battlestar Galactica, "So say we all!"

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Pluto in Capricorn: A Cosmic Comedy of Sorts

Alright my celestial voyagers, it's time to talk about our favorite misunderstood celestial underdog, Pluto, who's currently doing the astrological conga line with Capricorn. Now, we know Pluto isn't technically a planet anymore (Thanks, Neil deGrasse Tyson), but let's not hold that against the little guy. After all, size isn't everything in the universe!

So, what happens when Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld, and Capricorn, the CEO of the Zodiac, get together for a cosmic shindig? Well, it's like a space-themed episode of "The Apprentice." They're both power-oriented, have laser-like focus, and a no-nonsense approach to getting things done. But, be careful, because this dynamic duo could turn you into a cosmic bulldozer, pushing aside anyone who doesn't align with your vision. Remember, folks, diversity is the spice of life, even in the vast cosmic soup!

But here's the real kicker. Pluto is all about transformation, which means ripping off the metaphorical band-aids and dealing with the wounds underneath. Yes, gentle stargazers, this may involve some cosmic demolition. Imagine Marie Kondo meets Bob the Builder. Keep only what sparks joy, and then rebuild stronger!

So, as we navigate this cosmic comedy of Pluto in Capricorn, remember to keep your sense of humor, stay open to different perspectives, and be intentional about what you decide to change. After all, in the grand scheme of the universe, aren’t we all just a bunch of stardust trying to figure things out?

The Sun

Sun Sextile Saturn

Self-discipline, organizing ability, and stamina are the order of the day. You are methodical, systematic and can make much progress today simply by rolling up your shirt sleeves and getting to work. People above you are likely to notice your efficient efforts and reward for your hard work will be imminent. Constructive ambition, patience, practical insights, and maturity are the keywords today.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Saturn to accept responsibilities, to lead a rather ordered life, and to apply caution in their financial and business dealings. They rarely jump to conclusions or take uneducated risks. They have a certain amount of patience and enough self-discipline to slowly but surely achieve what they set out to do. Although somewhat undemonstrative, they are generally loyal and responsible people to those they care about.These are not the quickest-moving people around—they take their time and generally use a step-by-step approach to most projects—but they steadily reach their goals. Sun sextile and trine Saturn people are naturally trustworthy, and they don’t have much patience for those who don’t show respect for others, who take foolish risks, and who lead disorganized lives. With the trine, all of these traits come naturally. With the sextile, these traits are available when they are needed.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Jennifer Aniston, M C Hammer, Ben Affleck, Meryl Streep, Carl Sandburg, Angelina Jolie, Winston Churchill, Robert DeNiro; Trines – Justin Timberlake, Leonardo DiCaprio, Muhammad Ali, Bono (U2), Ron Howard, Raquel Welch, Gloria Vanderbilt, Dinah Shore, Linda McCartney, Sheena Easton, Elton John, Catherine Deneuve, Pearl Bailey.

Mercury

Mercury Conjunct Mars

Pour constructive energy and action into communication, writing, reading and anything of a mental nature. Do all your errands today. Your mind is active and it may be difficult at times to slow it down and relax. Your nerves are wound up and it may be necessary for you at some time today to force yourself to seek a quiet place and recoup your strength. Watch a tendency to argue with friends, display impatience, especially while driving, and to generally be on edge. Do not let your high energy level today cause you to become reckless or careless. Pay attention to the things you do and slow down a bit. Remember, discipline. You feel very self-assertive today. Do not let your ego ride roughshod over the people you deal with today. Control your temper AND your tongue. Avoid petty gossip and talking about people behind their backs.

 

Mercury

Mercury Square Neptune

Confusion is likely today in your relationships with other people. Take care and read all the fine print. Stay away from taking permanent legal actions as your thinking is colored by who knows what. You may be suckered into something you don't want to do or don't believe in, so watch your step. Misunderstandings in communicating with others is possible. Remember, they may not be hearing what you are trying to say. Nervous anxiety and tension may make you feel listless today. Don't let your imagination carry you away.You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering. Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on your nature. Some of you are great storytellers.Sample interpretation from the Merlin report — Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in “your own little world” a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to “read” people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Donald Trump, Jim Bakker, Mae West, Spencer Tracy, Tom Snyder, Rich Little, Jack London, Bob Dylan; Oppositions – Bono (U2), Marlene Dietrich, Richard Chamberlain, Florence Henderson, Charles De Gaulle, Christian Dior.

Venus

Venus Trine Neptune

You will be sensitive to the feelings of others today. You have the desire to express your love for others through helping them in any way you can. Your intuition and imagination are strong today and you can use these to create works of beauty and art. Subconscious insights can be gained if you listen to your inner voice. You have great sympathy, compassion and psychological understanding of women, family members, and those in need.Romantic, creative, gentle, and adaptable, people born with Venus sextile Neptune or Venus trine Neptune naturally express the finer qualities of mysterious and dreamy Neptune in their love relationships. Their imaginations are rich and their fantasy worlds well-developed. They are turned off by rudeness and crudeness, and are drawn to beauty in its many forms. They are very giving and generous, but may be a little on the submissive side, or sometimes downright lazy, failing to take the initiative when situations call for it.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of these two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Venus and Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate Interpretations:^When you love, you love deeply and completely. With Venus in sextile aspect to Neptune, you have the capability of surrendering totally to the essence of Love. Your gentle, caring manner attracts a partner who will desire to love and protect you.

Your devotion to high ideals also plays a part in your love relationships, and you are capable of sustaining a love which originates at a very powerful level and which will last through eternity.^Your romantic nature is enhanced through the influence of Venus in trine aspect to Neptune.

Love can be a purely transcendent experience for you, since you are capable of opening your heart to a true feeling of compassion.

You may feel self-doubt and inadequacy today. You are probably extra sensitive today, so don't take offense where none is meant. If you are taking medication, remember that less is more because of your heightened sensitivity. Watch that people don't take advantage of you with a sob story or some deal that sounds too good to be true. Stay alert to people not telling you the whole story behind something. Take care of your physical self as your immune system might not be as strong today as usual.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.Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. You tend to swing from one extreme to the other–asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy. Passive-aggressiveness can be a problem in your life. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. You tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.You may lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You could suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area. However, this tends to change as you mature. As you overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the capacity for spiritual ecstasy.You may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married or simply hard to reach. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish her to be rather than as she really is. You may find that you lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex, or that the relationship is largely unfulfilling. Disappointments in love may be frequent, although this is also something that improves with age! You are an extremely imaginative lover, and you frequently engage in fanciful and intricate fantasies. This may sometimes interfere with “real life”, but if you channel this energy well, it can most certainly improve your sex life. Your imagination is powerful, but it can also get the best of you. You may imagine complex scenarios and get yourself all riled up about what your partner may have done when she wasn’t around! — Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.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.

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.
