The Sun

Solar activity was low with nine sunspot groups present on the visible solar disk. Background X-ray flux continued at low C-class levels, and only occasional C-class flares were observed. Region 3288 (S23W68; Ehi/beta-delta) underwent decay and its delta configuration weakened. The region was the source for most C-class flares, the largest of which was a C5.5 flare at 02/1818 UTC. Region 3293 (N13E51; Dhi/beta-delta) was the other primary region of interest. It rotated further onto the visible disk and a weak delta configuration was confirmed within the intermediate spot section. Despite the delta signature, magnetic shear throughout the region was primarily loose and only a few weak C-class and optical subflares were noted.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters were indicative of continued, elevated solar wind speeds, with likely contribution from an isolated negative polarity CH HSS. Total IMF strength averaged 5 nT and the Bz component was variable, but with more prolonged periods of southward direction the first half of the reporting period. Solar wind speed averaged about 500 km/s and the phi angle was predominantly negative, with oscillations between sectors later in the period.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waxing moon is currently in Libra, at 12 degrees, 40' 06", at a velocity of 12.71 degrees per day.

The Waxing Gibbous moon is currently 12.3 days old. It is 394142.15 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 15:55:56, 19 May, 2023. The next full moon is at 3:43:56, 4 Jun, 2023.

Moon Is In Libra

Greetings, Earthlings! Your friendly neighborhood alien astrologer here to bring you some groovy news. The Moon, that big ol' space rock orbiting our lovely blue marble, has nestled itself into the constellation of Libra – the scales of cosmic balance. And if you're wondering how far away our lunar buddy is right now, well, it's precisely 391,176.066490808 kilometers. Yeah, I know, I'm a bit of a nerd for these things. Now, with the Moon in Libra, oh boy, are you in for a treat! It's like the universe put on its bell-bottoms, grabbed a lava lamp, and decided to spread the good vibes all around. So, buckle up, cosmic cats, because it's time to harmonize, socialize, and equalize! Libra is an air sign, and we all know air signs love to chat. They could probably talk about the molecular structure of a gas giant for hours, but that's not what we're here for today. No, siree! With the Moon in Libra, it's time to focus on relationships, compromise, and finding that sweet balance in life. So, when your significant other suggests watching a sci-fi marathon, remember – it's all about give-and-take. Tonight, you'll endure the intergalactic battles, but tomorrow? You'll be holding hands and frolicking through fields of flowers together, man. And if you're currently flying solo, fret not, my star children! This lunar placement is also perfect for meeting new people – whether they're from Earth, Mars, or a distant galaxy. Just remember to keep an open mind and let your nerdy flag fly high. After all, there's nothing sexier than a brain filled with cosmic knowledge. During this time, don't be surprised if you feel a sudden urge to redecorate your spaceship... ahem, I mean, living space. Libra's got style and an eye for aesthetics, so channel your inner intergalactic interior designer and create a harmonious environment that reflects the balanced life you seek. But beware, my stargazing friends! There might be a few bumps along the way. Libra's indecisive nature might make it challenging to choose between the blue or the green alien-themed wallpaper. Fear not, though! Trust your gut, and remember that in the grand cosmic scheme of things, it's just a wall. So, as our Moon continues its journey through the celestial tapestry

Mercury Is In Taurus

Mercury's Taurus Tango

Greetings, fellow space travelers! Gather 'round and lend me your cosmic antennae as we embark on a journey to explore the mystical marriage of Mercury and Taurus. Picture it now: Mercury, that swift-footed messenger planet, deciding to slow down and smell the roses as it waltzes into the warm embrace of Earthy Taurus. But brace yourselves, stargazers, for Mercury is currently in retrograde, which may cause the cosmic equivalent of a funky cha-cha dance!

With Mercury in Taurus, imagine our thoughts and communication taking on the practicality of a seasoned engineer mixed with the determination of a goat scaling a mountain. Loose ideas? Pfft! They'll be as obsolete as floppy disks, for our minds shall be filled with concrete values and plans sturdy enough to build a celestial fortress.

During this transit, flights of fancy and wandering thoughts will be as rare as a unicorn sighting. Instead, we shall be blessed with the gift of cosmic stability. It's like having a celestial beanbag to rest our weary minds upon. We can take our sweet time mapping out our interstellar paths and laying the groundwork for a cosmic utopia.

In conclusion, dear stardust siblings, let us rejoice in the Mercury-Taurus tango. Embrace the practical magic it brings, and remember: even when the universe tosses us into a retrograde cha-cha, we can still find our footing and dance our way to a brighter future. Peace, love, and cosmic vibes to all!

Venus

Venus is in Gemini

Venus is prograde at 25 Gem 12' 08", moving at 1.11 degrees per day, and is 144285674km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Gemini

Beam Me Up, Venus!

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Hold on to your telescopes and lab coats, because Venus has entered the celestial playground of Gemini, and it's about to get wild! Picture this: Venus, our beloved goddess of love, is throwing a groovy interstellar party, and Gemini, the cosmic twins, are in charge of entertainment. The result? An explosion of fun, curiosity, and new experiences that'll make even Sheldon Cooper loosen his tie.

While Venus orbits 144,339,268.991917491km away (yes, we're THAT nerdy), its influence on your relationships is closer than ever! Forget about candlelit dinners; it's time for intellectual tête-à-têtes and flirty text-a-thons. That epic debate on Star Trek vs. Star Wars you've been dying to have? Now's the time, my fellow nerds! And if you're lucky, your love interest will be as excited about quantum mechanics as you are.

Venus in Gemini is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of fun and exploration. It's not about finding "the one" or getting hitched; it's about enjoying every morsel of life's delicious platter. So, couples, shake things up and surprise each other with something new. Who knows, maybe you'll discover a shared passion for LARPing or herbology.

But beware, fellow star travelers! Relationships that have gone the way of dial-up internet may struggle during this transit. It's time to refresh your cosmic connection, or risk getting lost in the void of space (aka boredom).

On the financial front, Venus in Gemini is your green light to splurge on things that fuel your inner nerd. Need a new gaming console or the latest edition of Dungeons & Dragons? Go ahead, treat yourself! Just remember to keep an eye on your galactic credits, so you don't end up like Han Solo, owing money to a bunch of angry space gangsters.

So, my cosmic comrades, let's embrace the unpredictable energy of Venus in Gemini. It's not about finding the perfect formula for love; it's about experimenting and discovering new dimensions of joy. Let's boldly go where no astrologer has gone before!

Mars in Cancer: A Spockian Perspective

Greetings, Earthlings! As your logical and nerdy astrologer, I bring news from the cosmos: Mars, the fiery planet of initiative, is currently 263,077,536.616034687 kilometers away in the sensitive sign of Cancer. Fascinating, isn't it? While this celestial combination may seem as illogical as a Vulcan laughing, it presents intriguing opportunities for growth and progress. So, let us embark on this cosmic journey with the wisdom of Spock and the heart of a hippie.

During this interstellar voyage, Mars' fiery energy melds with the Cancerian concern for preservation, creating a cosmic casserole of action and sentimentality. We are urged to boldly go where we have not gone before, but also to honor our roots and familial connections. It is the perfect time to engage in domestic endeavors and home improvement projects – just think of it as building your very own USS Enterprise!

As Mars traverses the Crab Nebula, you may experience a heightened sense of protectiveness towards your loved ones and home base. This instinctual defensiveness can be channeled positively, like a Starfleet officer defending their crew. However, it is essential to maintain logic and reason in our actions, lest we become overly emotional and reactive, like a Klingon with a paper cut.

The challenge during Mars' expedition through Cancer is to balance our emotional connections with a direct approach to achieving our goals. While it may be tempting to rely solely on our heart's guidance, we must remember the importance of purposeful action. After all, as Mr. Spock once wisely stated, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

So, dear Earthlings, let us embrace this cosmic opportunity to blend our passions with our past and create a harmonious path to the future. Live long and prosper!

Pluto

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Aries

Jupiter is prograde at 26 Ari 52' 04", moving at 0.24 degrees per day, and is 885108010km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Aries

Hey, space cadets! Gather 'round for some out-of-this-world news: Jupiter is currently doing the cosmic cha-cha in Aries, and boy, is it gonna shake things up! You see, Jupiter is a whopping 885,130,179.789719224 kilometers away, but its influence on our lives is stronger than my mom's herbal tea. And let me tell you, that tea could wake the dead. So, what does Jupiter shimmying through Aries mean for all of us Earthlings? Well, folks, it’s like our brains have been zapped with a laser gun of creativity and intuition that even Rimmer couldn't dodge. With Jupiter in Aries, we're ditching our old-fashioned ways and boldly going where no astrologer has gone before. But wait, there's more! As Aries is the Captain Kirk of the zodiac, we're all feeling a bit more daring and ready to explore the final frontier. Forget about slowly charting your course like some snail-paced Starfleet bureaucrat—now's the time to ride that comet tail of inspiration and blast off to new heights! Now, while Jupiter usually likes to play the wise old sage, with Jupiter in Aries, we're all channeling our inner Doc Brown from Back to the Future, tinkering and discovering new things on our own. So don't be shy, jump into that DeLorean and try something new, even if it feels like you're leaping light-years out of your comfort zone. But beware, fellow stargazers: opinions can run hotter than a supernova during this transit, and impatience for action might lead to some intergalactic squabbles. To avoid turning your life into a scene from a sci-fi disaster flick, remember to engage in meaningful two-way dialogues, because nobody likes a know-it-all alien. As Jupiter boogies its way through Aries, remember that we're the masters of our own destiny, the captains of our own starships. Embrace your inner Spock, and boldly go forth, unlocking opportunities, relationships, and fortunes that might've seemed like distant galaxies before. So buckle up, space explorers, because with Jupiter in Aries, it's time to embark on an epic adventure to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations...and to ultimately live long and prosper!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 05 Pis 33' 56", moving at 0.07 degrees per day, and is 1518952267km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings Earthlings, Saturn's Chillin' in Pisces!

Alright, my cosmic comrades, grab your telescopes and notepads, because Saturn's taking a dip in the Piscean pool, and it's 1519031974.603105545km away! That's right, our favorite ringed planet is currently doing the backstroke in dreamy Pisces, and it's time for some serious introspection. But don't worry, I'm here to guide you through this cosmic coaching session, Alien-style.

When the Taskmaster of the Universe (Saturn) pairs up with the Zodiac's resident daydreamer (Pisces), it's like having a personal life coach who's also a hippie guru. Gone are the days of aimlessly chasing butterflies; Saturn's got you on a mission to turn those fantasies into realities. So, dust off that novel idea, or whip out those business plans, because the celestial powers-that-be are teaming up to help you manifest your dreams.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Alien, I don't want Saturn poking around in my daydreams!" Well, tough cookies, my friends, because the planetary "dad" of the zodiac isn't known for respecting boundaries. But trust me, his advice is worth its weight in moon rocks. So, open up the door to your inner world, and let Saturn's constructive criticism work its magic. You'll thank me (and Saturn) later.

Of course, all this cosmic meddling in the realm of sleep and dreams might have your inner sandman feeling a bit cranky. If you find yourself tossing and turning, or waking up from anxiety-fueled nightmares, it's time to embrace your inner hippie: meditate under the stars, hug a tree, or practice some deep breathing exercises. Heck, you might even want to hit the hay a bit earlier than usual, just to give your mind time to unwind and process all that galactic guidance.

So, my interstellar amigos, remember: Saturn in Pisces is a rare cosmic opportunity for you to level up your dreams and goals. Embrace this celestial coaching session with open arms, and watch your life transform in ways you never imagined. Peace, love, and cosmic vibes to you all!

Pluto

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 18 Tau 33' 22", moving at 0.06 degrees per day, and is 3089718450km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Greetings, Earthlings and stardust siblings! Prepare to have your cosmic socks knocked off, because our buddy Uranus is making a grand entrance into the ever-so-stubborn Taurus. That's right, we're talking science-meets-hippie vibes here, with a sprinkle of nerdy humor for your astrological amusement. Now, Taurus is that friend who loves their routines, curling up with a good book, and sipping on a soy latte like it's nobody's business. But guess what? The cosmic jokester Uranus is about to burst through the door like Number Six from Battlestar Galactica, shaking things up in ways even a TARDIS couldn't predict. So, let's get down to the nitty-gritty (and I mean that quite literally, considering Taurus is an earth sign). Money, moolah, cash, dough - whatever you call it, Taurus is ALL about it. And with Uranus crashing the party, we'll be experiencing some revolutionary changes in how we handle our finances. We're talking cryptocurrency, digital wallets, and maybe even trading in Galactic Credits. Hey, in this day and age, anything's possible! But don't panic just yet, my fellow space travelers. While banks and stock markets may be doing the cosmic cha-cha, we can take this opportunity to reassess our relationship with money and material possessions. Ever felt like you're drowning in debt or suffocated by stuff? Well, Uranus is here to liberate you, like a psychedelic Gandalf guiding you out of the financial Mines of Moria. Embrace the mantra "change is good" during this celestial rollercoaster ride, because digging your heels in will only make it more challenging. Besides, who knows - this galactic shake-up might just lead you to a place of greater stability and prosperity. After all, Uranus may be the cosmic prankster, but sometimes its surprises are exactly what we need. So buckle up, dear stargazers, for this exciting journey with Uranus in Taurus. Remember to keep your sense of humor and enjoy the ride - after all, it only happens once every 84 years!

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 26 Pis 47' 47", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4578245818km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, my cosmic comrades! Engage thrusters and set a course for spiritual exploration, for Neptune, the grand master of illusions, has taken up residence in the mystical realm of Pisces. At a mere 4,578,293,150.638865471km away, this celestial soiree is one you won't want to miss. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say, "Make it so!" As we navigate through the nebulous waters of Neptune in Pisces, we are presented with a cosmic conundrum: How do we blend our emotional intelligence with the unifying powers of Neptune? Ah, but fear not, fellow stargazers, for the answer lies in the very fabric of the universe itself. Picture yourself aboard the Starship Enterprise, boldly going where no one has gone before. In traversing these uncharted territories, we are reminded that it is our duty to seek out new life and new civilizations, to unite as one collective consciousness, transcending petty differences and embracing our shared humanity. Under the guidance of Neptune's trident, we are called to explore the depths of our own emotional oceans, to dive headfirst into the realms of spirituality, and to boldly go where few have dared – the inner sanctum of our own souls. Now is the time to seek out spiritual courses that resonate with your inner Spock or to create a sacred space in your home, perhaps adorned with crystals that would make even the most stoic Vulcan raise an eyebrow. By tapping into the cosmic wisdom of Neptune in Pisces, we can harness the power of the universe to illuminate our path toward wholeness and interstellar enlightenment. So, my fellow star travelers, heed the call of Neptune in Pisces as it whispers softly like the winds of the final frontier, beckoning us to embark on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and collective healing. Remember, as Captain Picard would say, "The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity." Live long and prosper, dear stargazers, and may the cosmic forces of Neptune in Pisces guide you on your journey towards unity, understanding, and the ultimate truth of our place amongst the stars.

Pluto in Aquarius: A Galactic Disco Party of Transformation

Greetings, star children! So, Pluto is hanging out in Aquarius, right? And it's currently retrograde, which is like a cosmic boomerang - things are going to get wild! Now, I know what you're thinking: "But, isn't Pluto like 5,165,998,627.759716034 km away?" Yes, my nerdy friend, it is. But don't worry, the universe has got this!

Imagine if you will, Pluto and Aquarius together at a galactic disco party. Pluto is the DJ spinning records of transformation while Aquarius breakdances to the beat of progress. Trust me, the dance floor is going to be lit, and life as we know it will never be the same!

When I say transformation, I'm not talking about getting a new haircut or swapping your Birkenstocks for combat boots. Oh no, we're diving deep into the soul! Pluto is like the cosmic Marie Kondo, making us discard old perspectives and identities that don't spark joy, so we can create space for groovier vibes.

Now, with Aquarius in the mix, we're talking about some serious futuristic stuff. Think science fiction meets Woodstock. We should expect mind-blowing advancements in science, technology, and space travel. But most importantly, we'll see a major revolution in civil rights and humanitarianism. Peace, love, and understanding, man!

The real VIPs during this time will be the ones holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" across borders and cultures. Governments and systems that previously played tug-of-war will now join forces for a cosmic game of Twister, forging new alliances for the future.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is like a celestial life coach urging us to transform our view of ourselves and our place in this funky universe. Instead of focusing on our own needs, what if we put on some rose-colored glasses and started thinking about the greater good? This is the groovy change Pluto in Aquarius wants to see in us.

So, are you ready to answer the call, star children? Let's boogie down to the beat of transformation and progress, and show the universe what we're made of! Peace, love, and cosmic hugs!

You may feel like expressing yourself today through your thoughts and words. You feel a need to be heard, that you have something of importance to say. Say what is on your mind, but give equal time to others and listen to them. You might learn something new. Your thinking today should be sharp and focused.

Venus

Venus

Venus Sextile Jupiter

Peace and harmony should be yours today. People love you and you love them. You will go out of your way to help others today because you are full of friendliness and you want to see others happy. Financial transactions go smoothly today and you seem to attract money or material possessions. Relationships are warm and there is love in the air.These people have an easy smile, a warm and responsive sense of humor, and a rather easygoing manner when they’re feeling comfortable. Although they are unlikely to seek out people to help, they’re quite quick to lend a helping hand if the need arises. It’s natural for these people to incorporate humor into romantic and sexual moments, and they don’t always understand more serious approaches. They are capable of much romance, but playfulness comes naturally to them. They can be extravagant, at times, with their pocketbook, but usually have the good sense to stop before things get out of hand. They expect to grow in their social and personal relationships. Stagnation makes little if any sense to them. Their appreciation for the good things in life is evident but not excessive. Often people with these aspects are in a position to offer opportunities to others, usually with regards to work and career.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 Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report — Your magnetic nature attracts others to you, and you are popular without making much effort. Sharing your spiritual joy does not have to involve sharing on the physical level.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Sextiles – Dane Rudhyar, Mary Pickford, Keanu Reeves, Edith Piaf, Geraldine Page, Clara Barton, Ty Cobb, Alfred Adler; Trines – Troy Aikman, Gene Hackman, Bob Hope, Martin Scorcese, Socrates.

Venus

Venus

Venus Square Neptune

You may be deluding yourself today especially where relationships are concerned. You are probably thinking with your heart rather than with your head and this can lead to all sorts of trouble. You may be too willing to sacrifice too much for your loved one. Things are not as they appear regarding affairs of the heart and you would do well to keep your feet on the ground. Avoid wishful thinking and unrealistic fantasies. Stop playing the martyr.This aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being “in love with love” is a strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It’s hard to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low. On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviors in their partners that others wouldn’t accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships. Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work.The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves them when in reality that person doesn’t return the affection. Or, they may cling to a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit. Yet another Venus-Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus-Neptune people are drawn to victim/savior relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or savior! Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and eventually feel used.The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them “safe” from a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their own vulnerability in love.Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or account for their belongings. They may have problems with “borrowing from their future” because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest in unrealistic projects.Alternate Interpretations:^In square aspect to Neptune, your Venusian expression takes on an otherworldly quality. Your yearning may be for that perfect lover whose spirituality, passion, purity of spirit and drive all stem from the highest possible level. Loving in such a manner would seem to remove you from the bondage of ordinary life and transport you into true bliss. Although this seems possible in fairy tales or movies, it’s really difficult to find those elements in another human being. You may also operate under the illusion that you must first sacrifice yourself before you are worthy of love. It’s all too easy to project unrealistic feelings onto your lover, and it is just as tempting to try to alter yourself to please a man so that he will love you. Whether those alterations are in your behavior, your appearance or your attitudes, if you submerge your real self beneath the illusions of what you feel will make you more lovable, you’re selling out. If you want to experience the ecstasy you dream about, you’ll surrender to a love which honors your real needs and learn to avoid situations where you become addicted, co-dependent, victimized or abused. Forgiving the shortcomings of the man you love is one thing; allowing him to deceive or victimize you is another! Know when and how to give help, but be careful of emotional rescue ventures!^Your projections about the man you love frequently overshadow the real person with Venus in opposition to Neptune. Even though you may not want to admit it, you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you’re in love. That feeling of being transported into another world when you’re in love is actually quite accurate. But it’s not the guy who’s gotten you there all by himself – it’s the energy inside you that allows you to soar! It’s not easy to separate your dream lover from the real person standing before you. You may always project some of your own power and tenderness onto the man you love. As long as you can allow the reality of the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because he’s the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that he is what you really need – or that he’s REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right man will be attracted to you, you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love, but when your heart is filled with love, you’re willing to drop all your boundaries and merge completely. There’s a difference between a soul connection and codependency or emotional addiction. It’s drawing the line that’s difficult. By allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional boundaries reasonably intact.Alternate, short interpretation: Venus square Neptune or Venus opposition Neptune: *You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to discover that no real, flesh-and-blood human being ever quite lives up to your dream image of the Perfect Love. Though you frequently fantasize about love and romance, you may avoid becoming intimately involved with anyone or making definite commitments. You can be evasive and dishonest with yourself and others, when it comes to love. Some of your love yearnings may be expressed through art, music, or an involvement with mysticism.#Sexual relationships tend to arouse your idealistic nature and may have little foundation for a long-term relationship. Once past the initial stage of love however, your imagination fuels the flame of intense spirituality and you are capable of ecstatic insights. Mystical practices can enhance your sex life.

Mars Sextile Uranus

You are inventive, ingenious, and original today, both in thought and deed. This is a good day to work on mechanical things. Do that repair work on your car or around your house. Think of new ways to be productive. Don't let seeming restrictions keep you from getting things done. The force of your energy will allow you to hurdle any roadblocks without making trouble. Use the restlessness and nervous energy you may feel today in a positive way. Break out of a rut.You are highly original and very enthusiastic about life. You express yourself with creative drama, which leaves a lasting effect on others. In order to explore your numerous creative potentials, you demand a great deal of personal freedom from those who are close to you. You have seemingly unlimited energy with which to pursue your goals and have many projects to occupy your time. You sometimes become impatient because you have so much you want to accomplish and only a limited amount of time to do so. You truly enjoy having limitless options in your life and feel sorry for those who lead a more boring existence! Never bored, you want to surround yourself with others who are exciting and futuristic in their outlook.One lesson of this aspect is to learn to be patient with others who are not similarly inclined.

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.
