Ladies, Gentlemen, and esteemed celestial beings, gather around! Our dear ol' Moon, the sparkling night-light in our cosmic bedroom, has decided to grace Libra with its presence. Yes indeed, it's currently a whopping 388,813.538433882km away, but hey, who's counting? Now, let's talk about Libra, the sign of balance, justice, and constantly debating where to eat for dinner. As the Moon pops into this constellation, expect some emotional equilibrium to come your way. Finally, you may find the harmony in your feelings that's been as elusive as a politician's tax returns. But wait! There's more! The Moon isn't one to stick around too long. It's got places to be, constellations to visit! In less than 24 hours, it'll shimmy its way into Scorpio. Woah, Nelly! Now, we all know Scorpios - passionate, mysterious, with a sting sharper than a Tweet from yours truly. So, here's my advice: Use this Libra time wisely. Balance your emotions, mediate your conflicts, decide on your dinner plans for once, and brace yourself for the intensity that is Scorpio. It's like going from a peaceful yoga class to a heavy metal concert. But don't worry, you've got this. After all, you're not just stardust, you're superstar dust! And remember my friends, the cosmos are vast, mysterious, and like a good politician... full of hot air and cosmic dust. Until next time, keep looking up.

Mercury Is In Cancer
Hello, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! Let's talk about the kerfuffle happening in the cosmos right now. Mercury is in Cancer, folks, and it's making us feel all the feels... and think about all the thinks. It's like an emotional blender set to puree. Mercury, the planetary chit-chatterbox, has decided to take a vacay in the realm of the cuddly crustacean. Cancer is all about home, comfort, and those fuzzy feelings you get from watching old episodes of "Friends". When Mercury steps into this cozy zone, our communication gets a touch more touchy-feely. We're not just texting "LOL" anymore, we're sending heart emojis and writing sonnets about friendship. So, if you find yourself wanting to hug your mailman or bake cookies for your boss, blame it on Mercury's vacation in Cancerville. This cosmic shift isn't just about expressing love, though. It's about connecting deeper with the people around us. No more small talk about the weather, folks! We're diving into the deep end of the conversation pool. As Mercury dances through Cancer, we are also given the chance to listen – really listen – to our intuition. It's like getting a free upgrade to a 5G connection with your gut feelings. So, don't ignore those hunches or that little voice in your head saying, "Hey, maybe don't eat that third donut." But here's where this cosmic combo really shines: It turns us into stellar listeners. You know how usually we just nod and "mm-hmm" while mentally planning our dinner? Not with Mercury in Cancer. We're listening with our hearts now, folks. And you'd be surprised at how much you can hear when you're really paying attention. So, dear cosmic cadets, as Mercury continues its journey through Cancer, remember: words are powerful, but silence can be even more so. Use this time to connect, communicate, and listen - with your heart. As your friendly neighborhood astrologer, I say, embrace the mushy feelings and let's make the universe a more loving place!

Venus in Leo: The Cosmic Soap Opera
Well, stardust lovers, it's time to dust off those old sequins and let your inner diva roar because Venus, the celestial goddess of love and beauty, has parked her spaceship in Leo's fiery backyard. And let me tell you, that gal knows how to throw a cosmic party!
Prepare for a stellar soap opera, because when Venus sashays into Leo's domain, she brings all the theatrics. Imagine your love life as a science experiment involving combustible elements... Yeah, that's Venus in Leo for you!
But listen, it's not just about being adored. It's about being ADORED! It's about grand gestures and romantic heroics that'd make even the most stoic Vulcan blush. So strap on your metaphorical jetpacks, folks, because playing it safe is so last transit.
Now, let's be clear here, Leo is the zodiac's drama king. This celestial lion doesn't roar for nothing. If you're feeling a bit neglected or unappreciated, you might find yourself lashing out like a mad scientist whose experiment went awry. Remember, love isn't a solo rocket ride to Mars; it's about sharing the journey.
And speaking of sharing, your wallet might start to feel a bit lighter. Venus in Leo treats money like a prop in a lavish Broadway show. It's all about the glitter, glitz, and glamour. So while you're living la vida Leo, remember that generosity is key. Sure, treating yourself feels good, but surprising someone with a thoughtful gift? That's the stuff of interstellar happiness.
In the end, let Venus in Leo re-energize your relationships, and remind you that a life without a little fun and excitement is like a black hole — devoid of light. So go ahead, let your love light shine!

Mars in Leo: The Cosmic Roar
Alright stargazers, gather round, grab your telescopes (or even your binoculars) and let's tune into the cosmic radio! Currently, Mars, that feisty, fiery planet is having a grand ol' time in Leo, the king of the jungle. And believe me, it’s as if a rockstar has just taken the stage with a lion cub. Imagine that for a moment, won’t you?
Now, Mars in Leo is like a cosmic pep rally, where everyone is encouraged to add a dash of enjoyment to their life. You know the saying, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Well, when Mars is in Leo, Jack gets a makeover, learns how to juggle flaming torches, and joins the circus. It's a time to not just spot joy in the daily grind, but to flip the script and make joy the main event.
Also, while Mars is gallivanting through Leo, it's the perfect time to listen to that little ol' muscle in your chest - your heart that is, not your pectoralis major. Leo rules the heart, and when Mars is in town, it's like open mic night at the biggest poetry slam in the universe. So grab that mic and spill your inner passions out into the cosmos.
Wait, hold up. Before you get too carried away, let me remind you of the dark side of this planetary pantomime. Mars in Leo can give us the impression we've each got our own personal spotlight, and when we don't get the standing ovation we expect, we might throw a tantrum worthy of a misbehaving starlet. We might also fall into the trap of thinking we deserve rewards without putting in the effort. So remember, fellow celestial travelers, before you demand respect, make sure you're giving it too.
Oh, and one more thing: while Mars is in Leo, drama spreads faster than a supernova in a gas cloud. This charismatic combo has the tendency to make us feel like we're starring in our own soap opera. But don’t worry, it's all just part of the cosmic dance.
So what's the takeaway from this celestial shindig? It's simple really. Mars in Leo gives us a chance to reflect on the size of our egos and the roles they play in
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 08 Tau 48' 04", moving at 0.18 degrees per day, and is 812182831km away and approaching.
Jupiter Is In Taurus
Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Today's astrological forecast is brought to you by Jupiter, that big ol' ball of gas, currently doing the celestial samba in Taurus' corner of the cosmos. Fun fact: right now, it's exactly 812255930.552214622 km away. I measured. Twice. Now, Jupiter is known as the Einstein of the planetary party, always encouraging us to ponder life's mysteries, while Taurus is more like the cosmic couch potato, quite content to remain in one place. When these two team up, it's like a spiritual retreat in the comfort of your own mind. No need for yoga pants or green smoothies - just tap into that dormant wisdom that's been snoozing amidst the chaos of your day-to-day. Jupiter's vacation in Taurus is like a motivational speaker urging you towards your dreams. It's time to bust out those to-do lists and start ticking off items like an overcaffeinated secretary. With Jupiter's growth spurt enthusiasm and Taurus' stubborn determination, we're being advised to trust the process and aim for tangible success. Life could become a veritable prosperity piñata with Jupiter in Taurus. Jupiter is the cosmic lottery ticket, while Taurus is the Wall Street tycoon of the zodiac. When these energies combine, there's potential for a cosmic cash explosion. It's a prime time to take a peek at your financial situation and spot those growth opportunities. But let's not forget, Taurus loves the good life and isn't shy about indulgence. When Jupiter, the planet of "more, more, more!" hangs out with Taurus, there's potential for some serious cosmic gluttony. Keep a keen eye on the difference between wants and needs during this transit, otherwise you might find yourself in a celestial food coma. So buckle up, space cadets, because it looks like we're in for a journey loaded with deep thoughts, grand plans, possible prosperity, and a hefty dose of self-control. As they say in the cosmos, "May the force of Jupiter in Taurus be with you".

Saturn in Pisces: The Nerdy Hippie's Guide
"Open the pod bay doors, HAL." Nope, it's not 2001: A Space Odyssey, but you've got Saturn playing HAL-9000, and Pisces is your spacecraft. Buckle up, space cadets, it's about to get cosmic!
First things first, if you've been daydreaming about writing a novel or launching a unicorn startup, now's the time to stop dreaming and start doing. Take a deep breath, clear your mind, and ask the universe what to do next. Then grab a notepad, because Saturn in Pisces is like having a cosmic life coach.
Now, I won't sugarcoat it, this isn't going to be as easy as pie. Saturn in Pisces is more like quantum physics than home ec. We're talking about the master of rules hanging out in the mystic realm of the zodiac, so things are gonna get real. This is like your dad entering your room to clean up, even though you clearly have a sign that reads: "Alien Life Forms Only!"
Don't freak out and pull a HAL on me, saying, "I'm sorry, human, I can't do that." Instead, hear old Saturn out. He's got wisdom to share. His advice might be as welcome as a pop quiz in astrophysics, but trust me, it's going to be helpful.
With all this introspective energy, you might feel like you're floating in the vacuum of space. You could get restless, or sleep as fitfully as if you've just watched a sci-fi horror marathon. So, my advice? Meditate like a Zen monk, walk in nature like a true tree-hugger, or nap like a cat on a sunny windowsill. Make sure to have your dream journal ready - you never know when inspiration might strike from the cosmos!
Remember, Saturn in Pisces is a unique cosmic event, like finding water on Mars, or spotting an alien in IKEA. So, embrace the nerdy, the hippie, and the science-loving part of you, and let's boldly go where no man has gone before!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus Is In Taurus
Howdy, stargazers! Now, let me tell you something wild about the cosmos. It's like a cosmic rodeo out there! Uranus, that quirky, electric cowboy of a planet, has saddled up in Taurus, the most bull-headed of all signs. Now, Taurus is a creature of habit, likes a good pasture, and is as steady as they come. But here comes Uranus, doing somersaults on a hoverboard, yelling "Yeehaw!" and firing off fireworks. You see the problem? It's like trying to get your grandpa to use a smartphone - inevitable, but not without its challenges. But there's more! Uranus is also the Bill Gates of the solar system, always coming up with revolutionary ideas. And Taurus? Well, Taurus loves money like I love a good space western. So, expect some sci-fi level changes in how we handle those precious credits. Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Cowcoin, who knows what's next? On a personal level, this celestial hoedown is all about breaking free from the financial shackles. Debts, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages - they're like space pirates stealing your hard-earned treasure. But Uranus in Taurus has got your back, saying, "It's time for a jailbreak, folks!" We're being nudged, nay, shoved to change our relationship with money and materialism. We can't just stick our heads in the sand like an ostrich (or a really confused dodo). Resisting won't help; it's like trying to argue with gravity. So, buckle up, space cowboys and cowgirls! The ride might be a bit bumpy, but remember, in the end, these changes could land us in a place of greater stability, like finding a quiet, peaceful planet after a long stint in the black. And who knows? Maybe that new place will have some shiny new opportunities!

Neptune Is In Pisces
Well, hello there, star gazers and celestial voyagers! Have you heard the intergalactic gossip? Yes, our cosmic compadre Neptune has parked its cosmic caboose in Pisces. Now, that's like parking a Starship Enterprise in a hippie commune. Talk about a cosmic mismatch! But, here's the twist. Neptune, that blue-ish, far-out dude, who lives a cool 4,448,883,862.857047081 kilometers away (give or take a few kilometers, you know how traffic can be on the Milky Way), is currently doing the prograde boogie. That's like moonwalking, but with less Michael Jackson and more, you know, actual moons. Now, what does this mean for us humble Earthlings, you ask? Well, let's dive deep into the cosmic soup, shall we? Neptune in Pisces is like putting on a pair of rose-colored glasses - only they're not just rose, they're every color of the rainbow, and then some colors that haven't been invented yet. Suddenly, those petty squabbles seem as insignificant as a speck of stardust, and the magic of unity shines brighter than a supernova. Think of it as a cosmic call to arms, or rather, a call to hearts. It's time to dust off those dreams and ideas that have been gathering cobwebs in the corners of your mind. It's time to put them out there in the universe, because guess what? The universe is ready to RSVP with a big, resounding "YES!" Feeling spiritually parched? This is the perfect time to drink from the fountain of wisdom, whether it's enrolling in that meditation course that’s been sitting in your online cart, or simply creating your own zen corner at home where you can connect with the sacred within you. And remember, this isn't just about self-enlightenment. Neptune in Pisces is urging us to share our light with others. So, go ahead, be the cosmic lighthouse that guides others through their own foggy seas. After all, we're all stardust, baby! Until next time, keep your eyes on the skies, and your heart in the stars.

Pluto In Capricorn: The Nerdy Hippie Astrologer’s Take
Alright, star gazers, grab your telescopes and your favorite pair of flared jeans because we're talking about Pluto in Capricorn. Yep, that's right, the icy dwarf planet that's been causing an identity crisis within the scientific community for years now ("Is it a planet? Is it not a planet? Make up your mind, astronomers!") has decided to chill out (literally—it's -375°F out there) in the ambitious sign of Capricorn.
Now, when these two get together, they're like a super-focused, power-hungry dynamic duo. Think Batman and Robin, but with more celestial bodies and less spandex. Together, they're all about getting things done, even if that means occasionally side-eying any ideas that aren't their own. So, as we traverse this cosmic transit, remember to keep an open mind. Not everyone thinks that Pluto should have been demoted, after all.
But here’s the real kicker: Pluto is in retrograde. That's right, folks, our distant friend is moonwalking across the heavens, prompting us to reconsider our old habits and patterns. Think of it as cosmic spring cleaning—out with the old, in with the new. Just make sure what you're tossing out isn't something you'll need later. Like, say, a warm coat if you're planning a visit to the ninth planet...or dwarf planet...or whatever scientists are calling it these days.
So, buckle up space travellers. This time of celestial restructuring might be a bumpy ride, but remember, every successful rocket launch requires a little bit of chaos. Aim for the stars, even if they're 5 billion kilometers away, and don't forget to laugh along the way. Because in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just tiny specks on a blue dot, trying to figure out if Pluto is still a planet.

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.
The Sun
Sun Sextile Jupiter

Expand your horizons and pick up something new to learn. It's a good time to grow, to be generous and caring, and to reach out and make others happy. Ask your boss for a raise as those in authority are likely to be receptive today.Endowed with generosity and friendliness, these people appear to be lucky in life. They attract good things with a positive frame of mind and a charitable disposition. Rarely entirely “down and out”, people with Sun in harmonious aspect to Jupiter are usually well-received, helpful, and well-informed. They may enjoy travel and have a special affection for foreign places and people. They’re generally not very competitive people, and for the most part not combative either. As a result, they are usually well-liked.These people are usually good-hearted with strong morals and much faith in life and in people. They prefer to find good in situations and in people. They don’t have a lot of patience with those who break the rules, as they generally believe in order, equality, and the law. They generally make good on their promises, and the sincerity they exude can be trusted. Looking on the bright side is their forte–turn to these people for a pleasing dose of faith and optimism. They are quick to chuckle and can’t resist any appeal to their sense of humor. Some people with this aspect are downright jolly. Others are less conspicuous, but their faith in life and willingness to find humor in life are nevertheless obvious.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Hank Aaron, Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Evel Knievel, Shari Lewis, Carol Lewis, Camilla Parker Bowles, Peter Sellers, Alicia Witt, Justin Timberlake; Sextiles – Prince Andrew (of England), Madonna, Albert Camus, Samantha Fox, Courtney Love, Elvis Presley.Alternate interpretations:Sun sextile Jupiter: Your life is apt to be blessed with more than your share of helpful friends, fortuitous connections, and doors opening to you at just the right time. Because you are usually willing to share and to give back to others in a generous way, you continue to generate successes in your life no matter how unfortunate prevailing circumstances are. Beware, however, of becoming an opportunist. — Interpretation from our Merlin Profile report.Sun sextile Jupiter: Your child is bent toward success, for he has a built-in sense of how to approach and unravel even the most difficult problems. Children born with this harmonious aspect often have a natural instinct for justice and the law, and generally know how to approach a problem from just the right angle. This ability could make your child a natural counselor or guide for others, in particular regarding vocational matters. This aspect also suggests the possibility of working with and helping older persons. Often this position indicates help received from others. Dynamic squares found elsewhere in the chart may bring out the positive sides of this position. The pitfall is too much ease, or a lack of ambition, a lack of humility, and/or expecting others to do the work. — Interpretation from the Child Star report (Boy).Sun sextile Jupiter: You find that spiritual discipline is as much a container for your being as it is the expression of your inner desire. Your perception of duty is to develop the endurance needed to weather emotional and material storms. — Interpretation from the Your Spiritual Path report.Sun sextile Jupiter: You have a sense of justice and an innate ability to understand the law, whether natural or manmade. Showing others the way through or beyond the problems in their lives comes easy, for you sense how to manipulate the opportunities of life. Lucky. — Interpretation from Zet Software.The Sun
Sun Trine Saturn
Self-discipline, organizing ability, and stamina are the order of the day. You are methodical, systematic and can make much progress today simply by rolling up your shirt sleeves and getting to work. People above you are likely to notice your efficient efforts and reward for your hard work will be imminent. Constructive ambition, patience, practical insights, and maturity are the keywords today.It is easy and natural for those born under a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Saturn to accept responsibilities, to lead a rather ordered life, and to apply caution in their financial and business dealings. They rarely jump to conclusions or take uneducated risks. They have a certain amount of patience and enough self-discipline to slowly but surely achieve what they set out to do. Although somewhat undemonstrative, they are generally loyal and responsible people to those they care about.These are not the quickest-moving people around - they take their time and generally use a step-by-step approach to most projects - but they steadily reach their goals. Sun sextile and trine Saturn people are naturally trustworthy, and they don’t have much patience for those who don’t show respect for others, who take foolish risks, and who lead disorganized lives. With the trine, all of these traits come naturally. With the sextile, these traits are available when they are needed.Some Famous People with Sun in Harmonious Aspect to Saturn: Sextiles – Jennifer Aniston, M C Hammer, Ben Affleck, Meryl Streep, Carl Sandburg, Angelina Jolie, Winston Churchill, Robert DeNiro; Trines – Justin Timberlake, Leonardo DiCaprio, Muhammad Ali, Bono (U2), Ron Howard, Raquel Welch, Gloria Vanderbilt, Dinah Shore, Linda McCartney, Sheena Easton, Elton John, Catherine Deneuve, Pearl Bailey.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).Venus

Unstable romantic infatuations and impractical or irresponsible attitudes and conduct in relationships should be guarded against. There is a desire to break free from binding partnerships. Impulsive spending may be your idea of breaking free. Be careful during this transit because you are probably not thinking with your head, only your heart, which is your wild side right now. Your behavior now may be so bohemian or bizarre that people turn against you. Settle down and apply self-discipline.The need for stimulation and the need to break the rules with regards to love and romance is apparent when Venus squares or opposes Uranus in the natal chart. These people can confuse their partners readily with their on-again off-again energy when it comes to matters of the heart. With the opposition, this is especially pronounced–when they are given too much space, they feel unloved, yet when they get the love they seem to crave, they can feel smothered by it. They can alienate partners by adopting an “I don’t care what you do” stance when they feel threatened. The truth is, they do fear rejection like anyone else, but they don’t always want to admit it, and they can turn quite cold when they suspect their partner doesn’t care. The energy of Venus-Uranus in hard aspect is embodied in the expression, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. When close to a loved one, they can eventually feel smothered or antsy if the relationship becomes too predictable. They can also detach themselves from living in the moment and enjoying the love they have. When apart, they feel more free to love. This aspect is common in the charts of people who maintain long-distance or otherwise erratic relationships. There can be abrupt beginnings and endings in relationships. They are not very “good” at endings–they can appear quite insensitive, aloof, and brusque. The “let’s be friends” attitude might hurt a partner who felt there was much more to the relationship. These people have a disdain for conventional, traditional, or otherwise “normal” relationships. They need to learn to balance their need for closeness and their need for freedom. They truly detest social pretenses, and insist on being sincere. Being well-liked takes second place to sincerity. There is a strong attraction to all that is different, and all that “shouldn’t” be done in love and in sex. Taste in clothing and art is unusual, original, and unique.There is a tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others, and there is marked emotional impulsiveness with these aspects. Their most successful relationships are unconventional ones. Whether they do so publicly or privately, they delight in defying convention. They tend to move on and outgrow friendships. Some possess considerable romantic charm and humor, and they can pretty much charm the birds out of the trees when they choose to do so! Their love feelings are easily aroused and their romantic relationships begin with suddenness. There is a marked inner craving for emotional excitement and a need to feel spontaneous and free.Alternate interpretations:Venus square Uranus or Venus opposition Uranus: *Your love feelings are easily aroused and your romantic relationships begin with a sudden electric attraction, but they often end abruptly, and you may be in and out of love frequently – especially in your younger years. You crave emotional excitement and need to feel spontaneous and free, so you may avoid making firm personal commitments. Unusual or nontraditional forms of love and relationships appeal to you, and you are attracted to unique, creative, or unstable people.#You tend to fall in love instantly, and you need to discriminate between passing sexual fancy and something that can last “forever.” As your intuition develops, you will be able to identify the difference more clearly. When you “fall,” that is a good time to marshal all your respect for yourself and your partner, and to take things one day at a time until you have forged a deep connection.

Take time out to slow down and stay in control of yourself. You may feel out of control today. You may feel restraint even if none is there. Don't let your impulsiveness and your impatience get the better of you. Accidents are possible around machinery, your car, or around electricity. Be careful and stay alert. Carelessness is your biggest enemy today. This is a time for high anxiety and lots of nervous energy. Get some exercise. Avoid excess stress. Put your energy into something creative, self-expressive and inventive.You prefer to stand out in a crowd than to follow. Watch for a tendency to be stubborn or dogmatic, which can impede your progress in life and cause unnecessary delays or obstacles. You can be very temperamental, but you tend to get over things quickly. 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. Intuition can be a great asset.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Alexander Graham Bell, Catherine Zeta Jones, Patrick Duffy, Johannes Kepler, Madonna, Sissy Spacek Oppositions – Roman Polanski, Regis Philbin, Tyra Banks, Chris Brown, Jackie Gleason, Monica Lewinsky, Arnold Palmer.Jupiter
