Mars Is In Cancer

Greetings, my fellow stargazers! Today, Mars is in Cancer, which means that it's time to channel your inner handyman or handywoman. Yes, you read that right! It's time to break out your tools and get to work on those home improvement projects that have been piling up. Mars in Cancer is all about nurturing our living spaces and creating a comfortable environment for ourselves and our loved ones. But be warned, dear friends! While Mars may be toned down during this transit, it still packs a protective punch. You may find yourself fiercely defending the rights of a family member or domestic situation. This protective instinct can be both a blessing and a curse, so make sure to tread carefully and try not to let your emotions rule your actions. The only downside to Mars in Cancer is that we may become too passive in going after what we want. We'll only take action if we're emotionally invested in something, which can lead to reactive and oversensitive behavior. So, let's use this transit to balance our emotions and take purposeful action towards our goals. Remember, my fellow star gazers, with Mars 211898189.444395125km away, we have the opportunity to embrace our connection to the past and family values while moving forward with initiative. Let's get to work and make our living spaces a true reflection of who we are!

Listen up, space adventurers! Jupiter, the giant planet of expansion, is currently blazing through Aries like a shooting star on steroids. This means your mind is on fire with innovative ideas and lightning bolts of intuition that will lead you to uncharted territory. But here's the catch: Jupiter is 886854790.747142434km away, so it's up to you to take the reins and make your own luck. Don't be afraid to take risks and try new things, even if you don't feel prepared. Trying and failing is just as valuable as trying and succeeding, so shoot from the hip and see where the journey takes you. But beware, opinions are running hot during this transit, and confrontations may arise. Keep an open mind and embrace two-way dialogue to avoid getting trapped in a narrow mindset. Remember, this is a time to expand, not contract. So, fellow cosmic explorers, embrace the power you have to control the direction of your life and open up opportunities, solutions, relationships, and fortune that were previously hidden.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Ahoy there, fellow stargazers! Listen up, because Uranus is in Taurus and it's time to shake things up. Now, I know Taurus likes things steady and stable, but Uranus has other plans. It's like trying to mix oil and water, but trust me, this is one cosmic cocktail you don't want to miss. Money talks, and Taurus sure knows how to make it. But with Uranus in the mix, we can expect some radical changes in the financial world. Who knows, we might even see a new form of currency arise, or banks and banking as we know it come to a halt. The housing and stock markets may be in for a wild ride, so hold on to your hats! But it's not just about the Benjamins, folks. Uranus in Taurus is all about breaking free from the shackles of materialism. Debt, taxes, rent, mortgages - they're all weighing us down.

Embrace them, because they just might lead you to greater stability and long-lasting happiness. And remember, Uranus is 3054572831.917181969km away, but its impact is felt here on Earth.

But don't worry, because Neptune is currently prograde, which means things are gonna flow smoothly. Neptune in Pisces is like putting on those rose-colored glasses, but instead of seeing everything through a romantic lens, we're seeing things through an emotional and spiritual one. It's time to shed light on our contradictions and see the bigger picture. The futility of caring about petty differences becomes crystal clear, and the value of coming together shines like gold. This transit is calling us to dig deep and explore our emotional intelligence. What unique gifts, ideas, and dreams do we have to contribute to collective progress and healing? Whether it's taking a spiritual course or creating an altar space at home, now is the time to connect with that which feels most sacred. And guess what? Neptune in Pisces has got our backs.

Hey there, starry-eyed folks! It's your favorite astrologer, Vala Mal Doran, here to give you the scoop on Pluto in Aquarius.

Well, my dear astrology enthusiasts, let me tell you - distance is just a number when it comes to cosmic energies. So, what's the deal with Pluto in Aquarius? It's simple, really - transformation meets progress. When Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, transits through Aquarius, the sign of innovation and humanitarianism, we can expect some serious soul-shifting. And I'm not talking about a new haircut or a wardrobe makeover - this is deep stuff, people. On a global scale, we can anticipate major advancements in science, technology, and space exploration. But even more importantly, we'll see significant changes in civil rights and the way we treat each other as human beings. The power will be in those who value collaboration and empathy, and who work together towards a brighter future. In our personal lives, Pluto in Aquarius urges us to rethink our place in the world and how we can make a positive impact. Instead of focusing solely on our own needs and desires, we're being called to think about what's best for everyone. It's a tall order, but hey - if Pluto can transform a whole planet, we can certainly transform ourselves. So, my fellow stargazers, let's embrace the transformative energy of Pluto in Aquarius and work towards a more compassionate and progressive future.

Venus

Venus Conjunct Uranus

There is high excitement in relationships today. You are feeling magnetic and the people around you can sense it. Creativity and intuition can be used today for some very positive results. You feel a need for emotional freedom, but don't make any serious changes while under the effects of this aspect. You may experience love at first sight.People with a Venus-Uranus conjunction in their natal charts are usually very magnetic, intriguing, and dynamic individuals. They value friendship in love and sincerity of feelings is the most important quality for them. These are people who will turn their nose at marriage, saying that it’s how people feel about each other that counts more than a marriage certificate. Although friendly and usually quite willing to make friends with people from all walks of life, there is an impersonal and noncommittal manner to them that is unmistakable. They despise social pretenses. Despite the fact that they firmly believe that popularity is much less important than sincerity, they are often rather popular people. They love to be different, and in many ways they are open-minded when it comes to love and romance. Still, they can be quite argumentative and sometimes uncooperative–even downright inflexible–when it comes to their own “inner code” and honoring it. They are not as adaptable to others’ expectations of them as their freedom-loving beliefs might imply. In other words, although they easily accept many different people into their lives, they cling tightly to their own ways of living. Some fear compromise, seeing it as a loss of self or a loss of individuality. Their taste and “style” is different and original. This can extend to choice of dress as well as taste in art, furniture, movies, and so forth. Sometimes Uranus is projected, and the partners that these people are attracted to display the Uranian traits of independence, originality, unreliability, inconsistency, and freedom-loving. Ex-lovers of Venus-Uranus natives may complain that these people didn’t truly value the relationship. In love and with regards to the erotic, the most appealing things can be what hasn’t been done or what “shouldn’t” be done. Mixing things up and experimentation are important to Venus-Uranus people.Alternate, short interpretations: *You are excitable, spontaneous, and easily aroused emotionally and sexually. You fall in love very quickly and have little self-restraint or concern for propriety when your feelings have been stirred. However, it may be difficult for you to sustain a relationship after the first rush of excitement wanes, especially if your partner is basically a conservative person who does not like to change or experiment. Nontraditional relationships appeal to you, and personal freedom is highly important to you.#Once you find the spiritual teaching that suits you, you are totally and forever hooked into it. Until that happens, you may start and end many times. When you are on the right path, beginnings and endings around you become cyclical milestones in the development of your personal belief system. From Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Uranus: Christina Aguilera (Venus in early Sagittarius, Uranus in late Scorpio), Tori Amos, Warren Beatty (Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus), Anita Bryant (Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus), Elizabeth Taylor (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Warren Beatty, Harry Belafonte, Betty Ford, Heather Locklear (Venus in early Virgo conjunct Uranus in late Leo), Steve McQueen, Bill Moyers, Sidney Poitier (Venus conjunct Uranus in Pisces), Johnny Cash (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Kathy Bates, Erma Bombeck, Donovan (Venus conjunct Uranus in Gemini), Katie Holmes (Venus conjunct Uranus in Scorpio – and sextile Saturn), Jim Jones (Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries), Cat Stevens.

Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Saturn have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Mars sextile Saturn or Mars trine Saturn: *You possess the gifts of endurance and perseverance, the willingness to work hard and seriously to achieve your objectives. Once you decide you want something or make a commitment, you’ll do it “even if it takes forever”. Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize that any creative achievement is “10% inspiration, 90% perspiration”. You choose practical, realistic goals and pursue them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like to concentrate on one thing at a time and do a thorough job. You enjoy working in solitude, and often feel your best work is done when you are alone.#You may find that you go from one transformational situation to another, never really settling into any one thing. Yet you have the endurance necessary for the long haul.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Thomas Edison, Alfred Adler, Galileo, Camilla Parker Bowles, Freddie Prinze, Corbin Bernsen, Catherine the Great, Omar Sharif, Ben Stiller, Barbara Walters; Trines – Denzel Washington, Rudolph Steiner, Josef Stalin, Yves Saint Laurent, Emily Post, Marilyn Monroe, Sinclair Lewis, David Letterman, Annie Lennox, Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Griffith, Dwight Eisenhower, Eric Clapton, Kevin Butler, Kareem Abdul Jabar.

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.
