Moon Is In Aries

Ahoy, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up your celestial seat belts because our glorious Moon has taken a detour into the fiery realm of Aries. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Are we about to stumble into an intergalactic barbeque or a cosmic temper tantrum?" Well, sort of. But don't panic! This isn't Star Wars, and I promise, no lightsabers will be involved. The Moon, that dreamy galactic rock we all so adore, is currently at a comfortable distance of 367,008.962465993km away. Still within the acceptable radius for not causing tidal catastrophes or werewolf pandemonium. If the Moon was any closer, we’d all have to start investing in silver bullets and surfboards. Now, Aries-land. It's like the astrological equivalent of a Red Bull-fueled paintball tournament. It's all about diving headfirst into the action and not waiting around for the stars to align. In the immortal words of Spock, it’s the place where "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end." So, what does this mean for your horoscope? Well, my star-gazing friend, it's time to channel your inner Han Solo and take those risks you've been pondering. You know, the ones that have been nagging you like a static shock in your spacesuit. Embrace the Aries spirit! Be bold, be brave, and above all, be you—unless you can be a Jedi, then always be a Jedi. Remember, my cosmic comrades, in this vast universe of ours, the only constant is change. So, grab your astrological surfboard and ride this lunar wave with gusto! And remember, when life gets too chaotic, just take a deep breath and remind yourself that even Pluto, out there in the chilly outskirts of the solar system, was once a planet. If it can survive being downgraded, you can handle anything this universe throws at you! So there it is, your horoscope straight from the cosmic grapevine. Until next time, may the force be with you, and keep those telescopes polished!

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 00 Vir 14' 08", moving at 0.73 degrees per day, and is 119659443km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Hey there, celestial voyagers! Grab your telescopes and slide rules! Your favorite star-gazing, astro-navigating, slightly offbeat astrologer has some news for you, straight from the cosmic grapevine. Mercury, that cheeky little planet, is doing a tango with Virgo, the sign known for its meticulousness and well, a bit of a nitpicking nature. Now, don’t get me wrong, we all need a Virgo in our lives to tell us when we've got spinach stuck in our teeth. With Mercury (the cosmic chatterbox) doing the foxtrot in Virgo’s house, expect the universe to seem suddenly interested in details. Like, really interested. We're talking 'Sherlock Holmes meets Marie Kondo' level of interested. This means that we'll be communicating with the precision of a laser-guided missile. No more sugar-coating, no more "let's beat around the bush". Oh no, we’re going straight for the jugular with factual, evidence-based arguments. As for productivity, it's going to skyrocket like Elon Musk's SpaceX. This isn't about fun and games, folks. This is about real progress. It's the cosmic equivalent of spring cleaning - out with the dead-end ideas, in with crisp, clear thoughts and laser-focused attention to detail. But here's the thing, my fellow space cadets. With great power comes great responsibility. And the potential to become a fault-finding, nit-picking, killjoy. Remember, nobody likes a smartypants who points out that Pluto isn't technically a planet anymore. So, let's use this transit wisely. Be critical but kind. Be precise but tactful. And remember, just because we understand the intricacies of quantum mechanics doesn't mean everyone else does. Let's not lose our friends over a heated debate about Schrodinger's Cat, alright? That's all from the cosmic frontier for now. Stay tuned for more celestial shenanigans and remember, we are all made of star stuff. Keep sparkling!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 17 Leo 55' 06", moving at 1.23 degrees per day, and is 248134265km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Alright, star gazers, strap in, because Venus has gone full diva and is strutting her stuff in Leo's house, a whopping 248,155,026.118499041km away. And folks, she's not just passing through for a casual cup of tea; she's going prograde, that's right, moving in the same direction as the rest of us. Now, when Venus decides to party in Leo town, get ready for some serious love confessions. We're talking a Shakespearean sonnet shouted from the top of Mount Everest kind of love. The fire sign of Leo is all about creativity, showing off, and speaking straight from the heart, so expect love to be lit up like the Fourth of July. During this time, the understated 'I like you' text message won't cut it. We don't want to be merely liked or appreciated, oh no, we want to be adored. We're talking about grand gestures here, people - think skywriting, surprise trips to Paris, or if you're on a budget, a homemade coupon book for free foot massages. If you're playing it safe, you might just find yourself benched during this transit. And let's not mince words, love isn't a calm sail on a serene lake while Venus is in Leo. No siree, it can be more like a turbulent ride on a roller coaster. Leo doesn't just want to play and enjoy life, it craves drama, and if it's not getting the attention it deserves, watch out - lovers may experience the wrath of a scorned lion. So let's remember, there is no "i" in "we", and focusing too much on our needs might leave us alone, eating ice cream straight from the tub, wondering where we went wrong. As for money, during this transit, it's all about making yourself and the ones you love feel like they've won the lottery. Leo loves all things shiny and extravagant, so expect some indulgent spending. But remember, while treating ourselves is wonderful, Leo is also generous, and spending money on others will bring even greater joy. In short, Venus in Leo is like a technicolor dreamcoat for your relationships, adding a dash of fun and excitement to life. So, buckle up and enjoy the wild ride!

Mars

Mars is in Gemini

Mars is prograde at 03 Gem 43' 13", moving at 0.68 degrees per day, and is 243204022km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Gemini

Alright my celestial compadres, grab your telescopes and suspend your skepticism because Mars is doing the celestial cha-cha in Gemini! And let me tell you, this red-hot planet is not just going through a phase, it's throwing an interstellar shindig, and you're all invited. With Mars moon-walking through Gemini, it's like having a double shot of cosmic espresso injected straight into our veins. We're buzzing with ideas, our minds are humming like a vintage Star Trek warp engine, and sitting idle is about as appealing as a black hole. There’s a whole universe out there to explore, and Mars is handing us the galactic GPS. But with so many celestial sights to see, it's as hard to focus as it would be trying to snap a selfie with a supernova. The challenge here, earthlings, is not to get space-whiplash from all the cosmic possibilities. Remember, even Spock had to learn that there is more than one logical solution. If Plan A goes supernova, no problemo! We've got Plans B through Z ready to launch. Now, Gemini, being the celestial Peter Pan of the zodiac, loves a good cosmic caper. But, Mars in Gemini isn't just about fun and interstellar frolics. Sure, we're flitting around the galaxy like cosmic butterflies, but beware the space-time vortex that comes from leaving too many wormholes unexplored. It can leave us feeling as scattered as the rings of Saturn. And let's not forget, Mars is not just the planetary poster child for action and drive, it's also the cosmic Casanova. While Mars is in Gemini, our brains become the biggest erogenous zone. Intellectual stimulation becomes as essential as oxygen on a Mars mission. While Mars tours Gemini, it's all about a meeting of the minds, making the term "brainy is the new sexy" more than just a catchy phrase. So buckle up, space cadets, and remember: "To infinity... and beyond!"

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Gemini

Jupiter is prograde at 13 Gem 21' 02", moving at 0.19 degrees per day, and is 840738667km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Gemini

Ahoy, stargazers! Have you ever been so lost in thought that you've forgotten if you're in the Alpha or Beta quadrant? Or possibly forgotten which dimension you're supposed to be in altogether? Well, brace yourselves, because Jupiter has decided to take a vacation in Gemini. Now, I don't know about you, but when I think of Jupiter, I picture a giant gas ball, lounging in its orbit, sipping on solar radiation while chucking asteroids out of the Solar system like some celestial bouncer. But apparently, Jupiter is also quite the thinker. Who knew? Now it's shacked up with Gemini, the cosmic chatterbox of the zodiac. Gemini is as versatile as a Swiss army knife and about as predictable as quantum mechanics. It's the sign of thoughts, communication, and probably invented multi-tasking. So, what does this mean for us mere mortals? Well, imagine your mind as a pinball machine, with thoughts bouncing around like hyperactive silver balls hitting every bumper of curiosity and dipping into wells of knowledge. It's like an intellectual buffet, and Jupiter is handing out the plates. You'll see not just the fork in the road, but an entire cutlery set of possibilities. Bridges, tunnels, secret passages - you name it! You won't just be thinking outside the box; you'll be thinking outside the dodecahedron. Prepare for some epic chinwags. Communication will skyrocket, with people more open to different ideas. There might be more talk than action, but hey, even the smallest spark can ignite a star, right? And let me tell you, with Jupiter in Gemini, we're going to be busier than a one-armed Centauri at a juggling tournament. Ideas will be popping like popcorn, and it'll be a challenge to catch them all. But remember, the universe doesn't throw anything at us that we can't handle. So, buckle up, space cadets! Embrace the mental gymnastics. There's a whole universe of thoughts out there waiting for you. Don't just reach for the stars – think them, feel them, and who knows, maybe even chat with them. After all, in space, no one can hear you scream, but maybe they can hear you laugh.

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 18 Pis 51' 36", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 1336586452km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings, star gazers and celestial enthusiasts! Let's talk about our old friend Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, currently parked in the mystical sign of Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Saturn in Pisces? Isn't that like inviting a stern librarian to a poetry slam?" Well, you're not wrong. Saturn, the big daddy of discipline and structure, hanging out in the dreamy, free-flowing seas of Pisces can feel like a sci-fi crossover episode where Spock suddenly shows up at Hogwarts. But fear not, my fellow cosmic voyagers, this interstellar mash-up has its perks. Think of it as a celestial coaching session. This is the perfect time to take those daydreams – you know, the ones where you write a best-selling novel, or open a quirky little bookstore, or finally invent a self-cleaning houseplant – and actually figure out how to make them happen. Saturn in Pisces is all about getting our heads out of the clouds and translating our dreams into reality. So, grab your notepad, your calculator, and that business plan template you downloaded six months ago - it's time to get serious about your fantasies. However, keep in mind that Saturn isn't exactly subtle. You might feel like your personal space is being invaded by an overbearing cosmic parent. If you've hung up a metaphorical "Do Not Disturb" sign, Saturn is likely to crash right through it, vacuum cleaner in hand. Don't get defensive though, just open the door and let him in. His advice, although tough to swallow, is usually spot on. This doesn't mean you'll be sleeping easy. With Saturn stirring up the Piscean waters, expect some restless nights. But don't fret, my stargazing friends. Use this time to cultivate inner zen. Meditate, take a leisurely stroll among the trees, breathe deeply, or even take a nap (just make sure your dream journal is at hand). So, buckle up and get ready for this cosmic journey. It may feel like a bumpy ride, but remember, even the most unexpected celestial pairings can lead to some truly out-of-this-world outcomes. Saturn in Pisces: turning daydreams into reality since... well, since the last time this happened.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 26 Tau 40' 56", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2984909014km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: The Cosmic Bull in the Financial China Shop

Hey there, fellow star-gazers! Guess what? Uranus, that cosmic prankster, has moseyed into Taurus, the astrological equivalent of a loveable, grumpy grandpa saying, "In my day, we did things differently!" Now, Uranus is about as subtle as a supernova in a library and Taurus... well, let's just say Taurus doesn't quite appreciate surprises (unless it involves cake). So, buckle up folks, because we're in for a celestial roller coaster ride!

Now, for those of you who don't know, Taurus is all about the Benjamins. It's the Wall Street of the zodiac. So, with Uranus playing havoc in Taurus' playground, we could see some radical shifts in how we handle our finances. Imagine if, overnight, everyone started trading in alien currency like sci-fi Bitcoin, or if banks became as outdated as dial-up internet - that's the level of change we're talking about here.

But before you start stashing your hard-earned cash under the mattress, remember this: change isn't necessarily a bad thing. Remember when CDs replaced cassettes and we all thought the world was ending? Yet here we are, streaming music from the cloud and wondering how we ever lived without it.

On a personal note, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, encouraging us to declutter our lives. It's time to break free from our financial shackles. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages - they're about as welcome as a black hole in our wallets. And our relationship with material possessions? Might be time for a break-up, folks. This isn't a doomsday prophecy, it's a liberating chance for change.

So, let's embrace the cosmic bull by the horns. Resistance is as futile as trying to stop a comet with a butterfly net. The changes we make now could lead to a more stable future and, remember, stability is Taurus' favorite word (after cake). So, let's get ready for a financial revolution, folks – Uranus in Taurus style!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 29 Pis 46' 53", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4386050928km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

The Galactic Rendezvous of Neptune in Pisces

Alright, my intergalactic stargazers! Buckle up as we are about to embark on a cosmic journey through the groovy frequencies of the cosmos. We're going to chat about Neptune having a pool party in Pisces. Now, it may sound like I'm talking about some underwater fiesta, but no, my dear earthlings, we're still talking astrology here, although mermaid costumes are always welcome. The big blue Neptune, 4386105887.807478905km away (give or take a few light years), is currently doing the retrograde rumba in the dreamy realm of Pisces. Imagine it as R2-D2 spinning backwards while blowing bubbles and humming 'Imagine' by John Lennon. Neptune in Pisces is like the universe handing out free tickets to an IMAX showing of "We Are All Connected: A Star Wars Story". It's a time where our emotional lightsabers shine bright, slicing through the murky fog of petty squabbles and lighting up the path of unity. We start seeing each other not as Siths or Jedis, but as fellow voyagers in this cosmic journey. And that my friends, is more precious than a golden Death Star. During this starry transit, we are prompted to ask ourselves, "What can I bring to the intergalactic potluck of life?" You might be surprised to find that your secret recipe could be the key ingredient to our collective Jedi training! So, don't shy away from exploring the far reaches of your emotional galaxy. Now is the perfect time for some spiritual refueling. Maybe you've been thinking about taking up yoga, or perhaps creating a sacred space at home for some peaceful meditation. Whatever it is, go ahead and make that jump to hyperspace! And remember, just like our friendly droid R2-D2, the energy of Neptune in Pisces is there to guide and support you. So, don’t fear the retrograde! Embrace it, for it’s your chance to tune into the cosmic radio and dance to the rhythm of the universe. May the Neptune be with you!

Pluto

Pluto is in Aquarius

Pluto is retrograde at 00 Aqu 47' 55", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5093861174km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Pluto In Aquarius: A Galactic Comedy

Alright, sit tight star gazers and cosmic groupies, because here comes the news you've been waiting for. The celestial bad boy, Pluto, is rocking its way into Aquarius. Yes, you heard right. Now, I know what you're thinking; "Isn't Pluto just a tiny, icy rock at the edge of our solar system?" Well, yes. But this little ice cube carries more punch than a spiked cosmic cocktail at a Star Trek convention.

Pluto, the planet that's so cold, it makes my ex’s heart seem warm, is all about transformation. And by that, I don’t mean transforming your coffee table into a pizza box haven after a Netflix binge. No, we’re talking soul-shattering, life-altering transformations. It's the kind of change that makes a chameleon look lazy.

Meanwhile, Aquarius is all about progress and innovation. Put them together, and we’re looking at a recipe for a revolution. Think Steve Jobs and Bill Gates having a baby, but instead of creating a new iPhone, they’re recreating the world. Yeah, it’s that big.

So what does this mean for you? Well, prepare for some major global shifts. We’re talking tech advancements that would make Elon Musk blush, civil rights breakthroughs that would make Martin Luther King Jr. proud, and maybe even successful cooperation between cats and dogs. Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the picture.

On a personal level, this celestial dance asks us to rethink our place in the universe. Instead of asking, "What's in it for me?" we might start pondering, "What's in it for us?" So, grab your favorite tie-dye shirt, and get ready to embrace your inner hippie. It's time to answer the cosmic call, folks.

Remember, in the grand cosmic scheme of things, we're all just tiny specks in an infinite universe...and Pluto is still just a little icy rock 5093855709.387585640km away. But hey, size doesn't always matter, right?

The Sun

Sun Sextile Mars

You have great vitality and energy today. You know your goals, you have made your plans, now take charge. People in stations above you can be impressed now with the initiative you show. Actions speak louder than words, so get busy.People born with flowing aspects between the Sun and Mars are generally enterprising. They have powerful stores of energy that they can draw upon when needed. These people respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. They are naturally competitive, and this trait is generally well-received by others simply because it is unforced, unaffected, and sincere. These people truly believe in fair play, and they seem to be in love with life. When they are expressing competitiveness and courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive ones rather than being rubbed the wrong way. These people generally have good physical vitality.It is interesting to note that these people are not naturally combative. Many enjoy sports or games that are competitive, but not violent. Breaking the rules of a competitive game is particularly upsetting to those with Sun in easy aspect to Mars. This is largely due to the fact that the will (Sun) is connected to the desire nature (Mars) in a pleasing manner, so that the natives are more able than most to control their desires, aggressions, and instincts. They know how to be fair, and they expect others to be fair. As such, sneaky behaviors, uncontrolled impulses, violence, and rage are offensive to them. They know how to direct and control their own impulses and desire natures, and they fully expect others to be able to do so!The main difference between the sextile and trine of the Sun and Mars: The trine is a more natural energy. Those with Sun trine Mars naturally and without thought are courageous and enterprising. Those with Sun sextile Mars have the opportunity to draw upon their courageous and enterprising spirit, but effort is required to pull these energies out of themselves and to apply these energies in their lives. With the trine, the characteristics of Sun-Mars come so naturally that the natives may not even realize just how much endurance, confidence, and enthusiasm they possess. Because the sextile requires some effort and thought, those with Sun sextile Mars often have many creative tools at their disposal, and they can be effective strategists and leaders.Some Famous People with Sun sextile or trine Mars: Angelina Jolie, Neil Armstrong (the first man to step on the Moon), George Lucas, Warren Beatty, Donald Trump, Robert Pattinson.Sun sextile Mars: Energetic, enthusiastic, (and at times) very combative, you have a way of getting to your goal. You enjoy the contest of others trying to stop you. Your creative energies flow very strong when you are opposed. — Interpretation from our In-Depth Profile report.Sun sextile Mars: For most children with this harmonious Sun/Mars aspect, will and desire work hand in hand. It’s probably easy for your child to work with those in authority: parents, teachers, elders. She enjoys working with others and would make a good manager. An interest (and ability) in athletics, exercise (working with the physical body), the outdoors and such, should be lifelong. Another form this could take is training or coaching others. Your child could have a natural ability to express herself and to handle emotions. She may also like to perform. A career in one of the entertainment industries is a possibility. This position also favors police work. Because Mom and Dad supported her as a child, your child is confident of success as an adult. — Interpretation from the Child Star report (Girl).Sun sextile Mars: You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won’t long stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. If you also have Moon square or opposite Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Venus, or Mercury conjunct, square, or opposition Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Uranus, or Mercury conjunct Neptune: This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun sextile Mars: One of your strengths is your high level of physical vitality and energy. You are an ACTION person, a doer, a go-getter, and you can pack more activity into a day than most people do in a week. You enjoy fighting the good fight, taking on challenges with relish, and you are inherently quite competitive but not in a way that provokes anger or fierce opposition from others. Because in the past you have succeeded in achieving your goals, you now have an inner expectation of success and of being a winner, a natural self-confidence that you draw on without even thinking about it. You have developed many positive “masculine” qualities, such as courage, will power and the ability to take initiative. You tend to be a leader without having to struggle or coerce others into accepting your authority. Occasionally, however, you may overpower other people without realizing it, since they may not have the energy resources that you do. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.

The Sun

Sun Trine Neptune

Today will be rewarding if you find the time to express yourself by helping others. Find something artistic through which you can channel your creativity and your soul. Art and music as well as spiritual pursuits are favored today. Try to become one with the Universe today. Creative visualization can be an important means through which your goals are realized. Idealism runs high today.There is an unmistakably dreamy, inspired, and sensitive side to those born with easy aspects between the Sun and Neptune. A marked appreciation for music and the arts is present. The connection of Neptune with the Sun, which represents the ego and the will, certainly softens some of the hard edges that might be found elsewhere in the chart, adding a sensitive and spiritual dimension to the personality. These people are naturally compassionate, especially those born under the trine. It is so completely natural for them to accept that there is more to the world than what is before their eyes, that they tend to presume everyone must be spiritually-inclined. Of course, they come to realize that this is not the case at some early point in their lives. Their attraction to spirituality and metaphysical subjects is usually marked. These aspects favor writers, artists, and musicians. These people are sensitive to those who are suffering, although they are not as easily taken advantage of as those with Sun-Moon challenging aspects. They are humanitarian and often have a special connection with animals. If other aspects and positions in the chart support it, these people are not ones to dominate others or assert themselves to the point of brashness.Some Famous People with Sun in Easy Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Mick Jagger; Trines – Farrah Fawcett, Billy Corgan, Muhammad Ali

The Sun

Sun Opposite Pluto

Power struggles may be likely today. You may encounter others who try to force their will on you or others who resent feeling as if you are forcing your ego on them. Try to compromise and find a balance. Transformation can come about if you are open to change and if you can keep your ego from becoming all-encompassing. Today may be an intense day. Control your arrogance and your domineering attitudes. Be reasonable.People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves.Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.Famous people with Sun in hard aspect to Pluto: Squares – Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field; Oppositions – Muhammad Ali, Robert Duvall, John Travolta, Elvis Presley, Steve Allen, John Hurt, James Earl Jones; Oppositions – Nicole Brown Simpson, R.D. Laing, Maya Angelou, Jeffrey Archer, Brooke Shields, Margaret Thatcher, Steffi Graf, Barbra Streisand, Farrah Fawcett.

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. You are generally confident about your own talents. You employ strategy when you are going after something, and you are very talented at this, saving time and energy.
