The Sun

Solar activity was low with C-class flare activity observed this period. Region 3340 (N23W31, Ekc/beta-delta) continued to exhibit growth, especially in the intermediate spot area, while the remaining regions were stable or in decay. A filament located near S55E50 was observed slowly lifting-off over late 24/early 25 Jun with the associated CME directed well off the Sun-Earth line. EIT dimming was observed around 25/2144 UTC in SUVI 195 imagery in the vicinity of Region 3346 (N08W33, Bxo/beta). Analysis is in progress for a potential CME.

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.

The solar wind environment remained enhanced following CME passage on 24 Jun. Solar wind speeds ranged between 475-550 km/s, total field strength varied between 7-11 nT, and Bz briefly reached -9 nT.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% 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 03 degrees, 43' 46", at a velocity of 12.16 degrees per day.

The First Quarter moon is currently 7.3 days old. It is 398825.33 km from the centre of the Earth.

Moon Is In Libra

Greetings, cosmic travelers and stardust enthusiasts! Your trusty astrologer, Michael Garibaldi, is back with another groovy dose of celestial wisdom. Today's focus? The Moon in Libra. So, buckle up and get ready for a stellar journey through the cosmos, with a pit stop at the scales of justice. And remember, we're all about peace, love, and scientific accuracy here. Our lunar companion is currently chilling at a respectable 398,632.991777497km away (give or take a few meters, but who's counting?). It's practically our next-door neighbor in the grand scheme of the universe! But what does it mean for you, my fellow Earthlings? As the Moon pirouettes its way into the harmonious realm of Libra, prepare to be swathed in an aura of balance, and the not-so-subtle urge to negotiate your way through life, relationships, and potentially even that heated debate about whether Babylon 5 is better than Star Trek at your next nerd gathering. Librans rejoice! This lunar alignment is like a cosmic double espresso for your already diplomatic nature. You might even find yourself playing peacemaker between feuding extraterrestrials (or, you know, just your friends bickering over pizza toppings). But it's not just the Librans who get to enjoy this equilibrium extravaganza. Oh no, dear stargazers! We can all tap into this energy like a universal Wi-Fi signal. So whether you're an Aries seeking inner peace or a Capricorn craving collaboration, there's never been a better time to engage in some interstellar diplomacy. But beware, my cosmic comrades! This lunar phase has a sneaky flip side. The pursuit of balance can sometimes tip the scales into indecision. So, while you're weighing the pros and cons of attending that sci-fi convention in full cosplay, remember that sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and trust the force (or, you know, your gut). So, as you navigate the cosmic tides, remember to channel your inner Moon-in-Libra vibes. Seek harmony, embrace diplomacy, and never be afraid to ask the tough questions - like whether Pluto should regain its planetary status or if we really need another Star Wars prequel. Until next time, fellow space cadets! Keep looking up and may the cosmic forces be ever in your favor!

Mercury

Mercury is in Gemini

Mercury will change from Gemini to Cancer in the next 24 hours.

Mercury is prograde at 28 Gem 22' 27", moving at 2.15 degrees per day, and is 194418911km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Gemini

Greetings, Earthlings! Gather 'round, my fellow space cadets, as we embark on a cosmic journey through the celestial skies, where our puny human brains will be enlightened by the wonders of the universe. Buckle up your space boots and adjust your nerdy glasses, for Mercury has landed in Gemini! Now, I'm not saying that the distance between Mercury and us is like trying to count the number of times the Doctor has regenerated – but it's close. At precisely 194,349,628.671465695 kilometers away, this celestial event is happening faster than you can say "TARDIS"! So, before you blink or get trapped in a time loop, let's dive into the cosmic vortex and explore what Mercury in Gemini has in store for us. As Mercury prepares to bid adieu to Gemini and packs its bags for a quick sojourn in Cancer, it's time to channel our inner Time Lords and make the most of this fleeting moment. With Mercury in prograde, the stars are whispering sweet nothings of wisdom and mental agility. You see, my interstellar friends, when Mercury frolics with Gemini, it's like a cosmic dance party where logic and curiosity boogie down to create the ultimate brainwave bonanza. Imagine your synapses firing like the TARDIS taking off, and you'll get the idea. This planetary alignment grants us Earthlings the power to absorb knowledge like K-9 sniffs out danger. So, fellow Whovians, grab your sonic screwdrivers and seize this celestial opportunity! Embrace your inner Gallifreyan and embark on a quest for cosmic knowledge. Engage in mind-expanding conversations, ponder the mysteries of life, and don't forget to laugh at the occasional dad joke – because who doesn't love a good pun about space-time continuum? And remember, in the wise words of the Doctor, "We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?" So, go forth and make the most of this Mercury in Gemini moment before it vanishes like a disappearing TARDIS. Happy time-traveling, and may the cosmic forces be with you!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is prograde at 17 Leo 33' 50", moving at 0.72 degrees per day, and is 80045982km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Hear ye, hear ye, my fellow celestial enthusiasts! The time has come for a cosmic event of grand proportions! Venus, the planet of love and all things sparkly, has strutted its way into the majestic realm of Leo. So grab your telescopes and buckle up for a wild ride through the galaxy of passion, flair, and just a smidge of drama. You see, when our lovely Venus dances with the fiery Leo, it's like a cosmic game of truth or dare - minus the truth part. Our hearts become the playground for bold declarations of affection, playful adventures, and maybe even a tantrum or two (you know, for good measure). And let's not forget that Venus in Leo wants nothing less than to be *adorrrred*. So playing it safe is simply not an option - unless you fancy being left behind in the stardust. Now, dear stargazers, remember that with great cosmic power comes great responsibility. While Venus in Leo may bring out the inner Shakespeare in us all, it also has a knack for stirring up a bit of drama. Feeling underappreciated? You might find yourself roaring like the mighty lion, craving that spotlight once more. But be mindful, my friends, for focusing solely on our own needs may leave us with only one thing: ourselves (and maybe a tub of ice cream). But fear not! For Venus in Leo also brings forth a chance to indulge in the finer things in life. Money becomes the key to unlocking a world of glitz, glamour, and perhaps even a shopping spree or two. However, the true joy lies in showering our loved ones with extravagant tokens of affection. After all, nothing warms the heart quite like seeing their eyes light up brighter than the stars above. So, my fellow space travelers, as Venus waltzes through the dazzling domain of Leo, let us embrace this vibrant energy and rekindle the flames of our relationships. For a life without a dash of excitement and a sprinkle of fun is simply no life at all. May the cosmic force be with you!

Mars

Mars is in Leo

Mars is prograde at 21 Leo 25' 17", moving at 0.6 degrees per day, and is 326147870km away and receding.

Mars Is In Leo

Alright, my cosmic comrades, gather 'round and let me tell you a tale of the marvelous Mars in Leo! Imagine the red planet doing the cha-cha with the King of the Jungle, sparking creativity and passion like it's nobody's business. Now, I know what you're thinking: "But how does this affect me, oh wise and nerdy astrologer?" Well, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to embark on a journey! You see, Mars is currently 326,106,124.925792754km away (give or take a few millimeters), strutting its stuff in prograde motion. This means our fiery friend is encouraging us all to channel our inner Doctor Who, grab our sonic screwdrivers, and embrace the power of play! After all, life's too short not to have a little fun, right? When Mars joins forces with Leo, it's like getting an intergalactic permission slip to follow your heart, take risks, and pursue your wildest dreams. So dust off those forgotten hobbies, dance like a Dalek, and let your creative juices flow! But beware, my fellow stargazers - with great power comes great responsibility. While Mars in Leo can boost our confidence to astronomical heights, it can also send our egos into a black hole of self-importance. Remember, even the great Time Lord himself needs to stay humble. So if you want admiration, respect, and leadership, make sure you're putting in the work and not just acting the part. Now, we all know that enthusiasm is as contagious as an alien virus, but so is drama. During this Mars in Leo transit, our craving for attention might go supernova, causing some cosmic-sized meltdowns if we don't feel noticed. But fear not, my celestial friends! This is the perfect opportunity to reflect on our egos, find balance, and learn that it's okay to roar with passion, but also purr with contentment. So go forth, my darlings, and embrace this Mars in Leo energy like you're the Doctor regenerating into their next fantastic adventure. Remember to have fun, follow your heart, and keep your ego in check. And most importantly, don't blink - you never know what other cosmic surprises are just around the corner!

Jupiter in Taurus: A Galactic Journey to Inner Wisdom, Wealth, and Cosmic To-Do Lists

Oh, my frakking stars! Jupiter is hanging out in Taurus – or as we nerdy astrologers like to call it, "Jupi-Taurus." You see, it's not every day that a giant gas ball of wisdom like Jupiter parks its celestial RV in the lush, fertile garden of Taurus. But when it does, you can bet your sweet Cylon circuits that some serious interstellar magic is about to happen. So, grab your lab coat, strap on your safety goggles, and let's dive into this cosmic concoction of growth, patience, and prosperity.

Picture this: Jupiter, the wise, bearded professor of the galaxy, strolls into Taurus' zen den, where spirituality is as abundant as incense smoke. These two forces combine to remind us that, hey, we don't need to scour the universe for enlightenment – we've got our very own spiritual TARDIS within us. All we need to do is shake off those pesky distractions (looking at you, social media) and tap into our inner Yoda. The force has always been with us, young grasshoppers.

Now, when Jupi-Taurus gets down to business, it's like a cosmic superhero montage of achieving dreams and smashing long-term goals. With Jupiter's boundless energy and Taurus' stubborn determination, we're all being handed a universal clipboard with a to-do list that leads to success. But remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were the Death Stars. Patience is key, my space cadets.

Let's talk cold hard cash because, let's face it, even hippie astrologers need to pay the bills. Jupi-Taurus is like winning the cosmic lottery – with Jupiter's good fortune and Taurus' Midas touch, this celestial combo can bring some serious abundance to those who seek it. So, dust off that piggy bank and get ready for a financial glow-up, Earthlings!

But be warned, dear stargazers: Taurus is known for its love of indulgence (we're not judging; we all deserve a little R&R). When Jupiter, the planet of expansion, waltzes into Taurus' pleasure palace, we might find ourselves saying "yes" more than we should.

Pluto

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 07 Pis 09' 02", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1388604461km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Space... the Final Frontier...

These are the voyages of the starship Saturn, as it boldly goes into Pisces territory. My fellow space cadets, gather 'round your cosmic notepads and prepare for an interstellar transmission from Captain James T. Kirk himself.

As Saturn, the wise and disciplined ruler of the cosmos, enters the dreamy realm of Pisces, it's time for us to beam up our inner imaginations. Envision that beautiful planet you've always wanted to write about or the intergalactic business you've dreamed of starting. Inhale deeply and channel the cosmic energies of this mystical transit. But beware, for Saturn's retrograde may cause a disturbance in the force.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Captain, I don't want Saturn poking around in my dreams!" Well, tough tribbles, my friends. Saturn's presence in Pisces is like your dad barging into your room while you're watching Star Trek reruns in your pajamas. He's here to help, whether you like it or not. So, embrace the Klingon spirit of cooperation and let Saturn guide you through the vast universe of your deepest desires.

However, with Saturn's stern energy infiltrating the Piscean realm of sleep and dreams, you may experience some cosmic turbulence. Space insomnia, anyone? Fear not, my fellow Earthlings. This is the perfect opportunity to practice Vulcan meditation, take a peaceful stroll through the Andromeda galaxy, or indulge in some much-needed stardust napping. Just remember to keep a dream journal close by - you never know when the wisdom of the universe will come knocking.

So, as we embark on this celestial journey with Saturn in Pisces, take a moment to reflect on the immortal words of Spock: "Live long and prosper." Embrace the cosmic lessons of this transit, and may your dreams boldly go where no one has gone before.

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

Hold on to your space hats, cosmic comrades, because Uranus is shaking things up in the steady, stable world of Taurus! Imagine a bull in a china shop, but the bull is a celestial giant and the china shop is, well, our entire earthly existence. Taurus loves stability like a cat loves a warm spot in the sun, but Uranus is about to come along and flip the whole solar system like a cosmic trampoline.

During this celestial rollercoaster, the old ways of dealing with money are about to go the way of the dinosaurs and dial-up internet. So buckle up, buttercups, because Uranus's seven-year stint in Taurus will make your piggy bank look more like a Bitcoin wallet. We might witness banks turning into futuristic vending machines, housing markets playing musical chairs, and stock markets doing the Cha-Cha Slide.

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like a financial Marie Kondo, helping us declutter our lives from the burdens of debt, taxes, and that ever-growing mountain of material possessions. It's time to break free from the gravitational pull of consumerism and embrace a new relationship with our resources. Sure, it might feel like trying to walk on the moon without any gravity boots, but trust me, it's all part of the cosmic plan.

The thing is, my fellow space travelers, resistance is futile. Like trying to push back against a black hole, digging in our heels won't stop the changes Uranus has in store for us. So take a deep breath, hold onto your favorite crystals, and remember: this cosmic shake-up is here to liberate us. By the time Uranus packs its bags and moves on to the next celestial destination, we might just find ourselves in a more stable, secure place than ever before. And who knows, maybe we'll even learn how to do the Moonwalk along the way. Peace, love, and cosmic vibes!

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, howdy there, cosmic cowboys and cowgirls! Gather 'round and let me spin you a yarn about the far-out adventures of Neptune in Pisces. Now, this here Neptune fella is currently 4,453,875,666.059127808 (gosh, ain't that a mouthful) kilometers away, but don't you worry, he's still got a powerful message for us all. You see, our ol' buddy Neptune is doin' the cosmic hokey-pokey in the mystical land of Pisces, and it's givin' us all a mighty fine chance to tap into our inner space nerds and emotional hippies. That's right, folks - it's like Star Trek meets Woodstock up in here! As we're floatin' around in this groovy Piscean fog, we suddenly start seein' clearer than a Hubble telescope on a cloudless night. All those teeny-tiny differences between us start lookin' about as important as a speck of space dust on the windshield of Serenity. We'll be findin' ourselves wantin' to come together like a big ol' cosmic cuddle puddle, and the path to wholeness will light up like a supernova. Now's the time to dig deep into your heart and find out what you can bring to the interstellar potluck. Maybe you've got some out-of-this-world ideas, or perhaps you've been hidin' a secret talent for astral projection. Whatever it is, Neptune in Pisces is invitin' you to share it with the universe - no gift is too small or strange! Why not take a trip down spiritual lane and sign up for that crystal healing workshop you've been eyein'? Or set up a little sacred space in your backyard and invite your friends over for a full moon drum circle. The energy of Neptune in Pisces is like a cosmic cheerleader, rootin' for us to find our spiritual groove and share it with the galaxy. So strap on your moon boots and get ready for a wild ride through the stars, my far-out friends. Neptune in Pisces is here to show us the way to unity, and you can bet your lucky meteorite we're gonna have a cosmic good time!

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Greetings, Earthlings! Your intergalactic astrologer Klaatu here, bringing you far-out news from the cosmos. Get ready to strap on your space boots because Pluto, that lovable dwarf planet, is in Capricorn right now and things are about to get groovy. First of all, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that our distant cousin Pluto is a whopping 5,067,604,162.413571358 kilometers away! Talk about long-distance relationships, am I right? But hey, Pluto is still making waves in our lives, especially while it's rockin' that retrograde. So, what does it mean when Pluto shakes hands with Capricorn? Well, my star-loving friends, these two celestial bodies are like the ultimate power couple. They've got their eyes on the prize and are all about achieving success. But the downside is that they can be a bit, well, single-minded. As a result, you might find yourself channeling your inner Sheldon Cooper, not really digging other people's ideas. But fear not, my fellow space cadets! Pluto's got a groovy plan for us. See, this funky little planet wants us to ditch those bad vibes and out-of-date patterns that are holding us back. It's time for some cosmic spring cleaning! Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility (thanks, Uncle Ben) - so be mindful of what you're tearing down as you build anew. In conclusion, my interstellar amigos, it's time to embrace the transformative energy of Pluto in Capricorn. Keep an open mind, be conscious of your actions, and don't forget to share the love. After all, we're just a bunch of stardust floating through space together. Peace, love, and cosmic harmony, Klaatu, your nerdy astrologer from outer space

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Square Moon

You must balance your emotions with your individuality. You may have difficulties today dealing with the opposite sex, authority figures or family members. Ego confrontations over emotional issues are likely to be the cause. Vitality may be low today, so keep stress to a minimum. Try to understand others' points of view before expressing your own. Get in touch with your true feelings. Emotional impulses may interfere with objective and good judgment.What people who were born with Sun square Moon in their natal charts want and what they need are in conflict. The Sun square Moon aspect is similar to the Sun opposition Moon aspect in this sense, but there are very notable differences. Whereas the struggle between wants and needs is mostly played out on the inside and through significant relationships with Sun opposition Moon people, Sun square Moon people tend to confront obstacles that come from the outside. In truth, the struggle is within, as it is a case of being “one’s own worst enemy”. There can be a tendency to attract challenging situations into the life as an unconscious attempt to recreate the tension of early childhood. As well, specific habits and attitudes can hamper their progress in life.These people generally have a need to achieve and accomplish something important, and they act out their internal struggle along the way. For whatever reason, these people didn’t feel needed or accepted. The clash between their parents or parent figures, if indeed there was one, made them feel unaccepted for who they were, and there can be a very real drive to prove themselves to the world (and/or to the parents). The parents may not have simply been opposite personalities, as is the case with Sun opposition Moon. It is more likely that their relationship was a continual struggle. Sun square Moon individuals internalized the tension in the cosmic air that they were born into, and felt out of place as a result. In some cases, they literally felt unwanted by one or both parents. Even if the parents didn’t clash, the early life was likely to have been over-stimulating and tense, causing the child to feel insecure.These people experience a struggle between their need for nurture and their need for independence. When they get the autonomy that they seem to crave, they feel unsupported by others. When they receive the support they crave, they feel smothered. This internal clash is most apparent in the relationships they form, especially in the first half of their lives when they may not be aware of these patterns. Confrontations and challenges are frequent–not just with romantic partners, but also on the job, with friends, and so forth. However, these people have a lot of drive and spunk. They are resilient creatures who have faced conflict and who have survived it. Although they face a struggle with fluctuating energy, they are motivated to accomplish something. Ideally, they learn through experience to accomplish something for themselves rather than to prove their worth to others.Some Famous People with Sun Square Moon: Geena Davis, Michael Douglas, Ricky Martin.People born with a Sun-Moon tension can spend much of their lives struggling to balance the principles of the Sun and the Moon within their personalities, and will bring this struggle to some degree into their relationships. The urge to form meaningful relationships is generally powerful, but relationships can be as much of a struggle to these natives as the inner conflict is to themselves. This inner conflict occurs with the square, opposition, and quincunx. The desire to find meaningful relationships is stronger than it is when the natal Sun and Moon form a sextile or trine, and early relationships in particular can be challenging until the stressful aspects are recognized as an inner tension.A stressful Sun-Moon aspect seems to imprint the native with the (often unconscious) expectation that relationships can very easily fail, and the natives will be especially aware of conflicts in partnership, taking them to heart. The upside of this natal conflict is found in this sensitivity itself! Those with a Sun-Moon opposition, in particular, are generally willing to work out problems in a relationship due to their acute awareness and sensitivity to the conflicts that arise in their partnerships. However, if they face a partner who denies the problems exist in the first place, as in the example above, they can easily become frustrated. This is because learning and growing through relationships is a basic urge – so basic that it is a need. These natives are learning about themselves through their relationships, and need partners who are willing to be a part of that process. Sun square Moon suggests an internal “war” between two equally powerful desires: the desire for emotional commitment and the desire for autonomy. The native can be quite defensive and even belligerent with others, and often over-sensitive, which can take its toll in personal relationships. Partners may complain that the native often seems to be spoiling for a fight, and relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.

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.

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 Conjunct Mars

There is a desire for love, beauty, relationships, and things that feel good. Desire is strong today and this includes the desire for the opposite sex. Be considerate of others today as you may express yourself too strongly. Use your creative energies and get involved with the arts, music or the theater. How about making a special meal for your significant other? Watch your spending today as you may feel tempted to overindulge and be too extravagant. Curb your potential for eating too much rich, sweet, or spicy food. Moderation is the key. Be refined and charming around women. Do not get involved in petty gossip or in competition with the women you know. Have fun at a social gathering, but remember, don't come on too strong or let your opinion of yourself swell so as to become overbearing and obnoxious.For people with a Venus-Mars conjunction in their natal charts, the blending of the feminine and masculine energies within is a natural process, although other aspects to the conjunction will tell the whole story as to how this is done. These people possess personal magnetism in spades. They live and breathe romantic/sexual relationships. It is generally easy for them to form relationships, unless the conjunction is severely afflicted. They ooze sexuality, and they are generally quite impulsive with regards to entering new relationships. Relationships are not only important to them, they require a fair amount of excitement, adventure, and passion in their pairings in order to feel alive and vital. With this conjunction, there is generally a pleasing blend of self-assertion and cooperation. This comprises some of their charm, in that they generally know how to assert themselves without stepping on others’ toes. In some cases, men with this aspect may be too dominating in romantic situations, and might gain a reputation for being “macho”. This is not always the case, however. For the most part, these people are quite direct about what they want in a relationship, and they are quite passionate when it comes to going about getting what they want. It can be a challenge maintaining perspective when it comes to relationships. These people are generally highly creative and are bent on finding outlets for their creativity. Their vitality and warm energy is something that can be felt by others, as if it lies just below the surface.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Mars: Barry Bonds (in Gemini), Carmen Electra (in Gemini), Bette Davis, James Caan (in Taurus, also conjunct Uranus), Sally Field, Eva Gabor (in Pisces), Merv Griffin (in Leo), Kris Kristofferson (in Gemini), Bruce Lee (in Scorpio), Courtney Love (in Gemini), Peter O’Toole, Al Pacino (in Gemini), Stefanie Powers (in Scorpio), Sting, Uma Thurman (in Gemini), Vincent Van Gogh (in Pisces), Harry Hamlin (in Virgo), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, conjunct the Ascendant).

Carelessness is your biggest enemy today. This is a time for high anxiety and lots of nervous energy. Get some exercise. Avoid excess stress.

You might often be hasty, impatient, and impulsive.Alternate, short interpretations: Mars square Uranus or Mars opposition Uranus: *Intensely restless, dynamic, and energetic, you are always on the go. When you want something, you want it NOW, and you act decisively, impulsively, sometimes hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, you find it difficult to slow down, pace yourself, or relax. You are fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. You have a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not your strong point! You are often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when you are pursuing a desired goal. You may have an explosive temper when your will is blocked. You have a superabundance of energy and need much personal freedom to do things in your own style and at your own pace.#Your life is peppered with dangerous intersections where you may be physically injured. These very events, however, form the substance of your spiritual path. It takes courage to follow this independent path, and effort to maintain strong relationships as you do so.

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.
