Moon Is In Scorpio
Hold onto your telescopes, stargazers! The Moon has just moved into Scorpio like a stealthy ninja in the night. Now, I know what you're thinking - "The Moon in Scorpio? Isn't that like mixing peanut butter and jalapenos?" Well, you're not totally off base. It's more like adding hot sauce to chocolate ice cream - it’s an odd combo, but it has its fans. So, what does this mean for us mere Earth-dwellers? First off, let's get scientific, shall we? With the Moon chilling at a whopping 382924.502085879km away, it's not like you'll be needing SPF 1000 or anything, but you might want to keep your emotions in check. Scorpio's influence can make emotions run as deep as the Mariana Trench. That's right, folks, we're talking James Cameron-level depths here. So, if you find yourself crying over spilt milk or laughing hysterically at a knock-knock joke, blame it on the cosmos! But hey, don't start building your lunar escape pod just yet! This celestial setup also brings a dose of Scorpio's famous intensity and passion. It's a great time to channel that energy into something creative, like knitting a scarf for your pet iguana or finally starting that blog about the hilarious parallels between quantum physics and sitcom plotlines. In conclusion, while the Moon is hanging out with Scorpio, remember to take everything in stride, even if you feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster on Pluto. After all, it’s just the universe doing its thing, and we're all along for the ride. Keep your seatbelts fastened, folks! The stars have a wicked sense of humor.

Mercury In Cancer: The Astral Shell Game
Get ready to put on your emotional water wings, folks, because Mercury has set up camp in Cancer. Now, let's not freak out. This isn't like the time we found out Pluto wasn't a real planet (still not over it). Mercury in Cancer is like a cosmic emotional support animal - it nudges us to dig deeper, think harder, and connect more intimately. It's like a rom-com for your heart and brain!
Cancer, our favorite celestial crab, is all about the feels. It’s the fuzzy slippers of the zodiac, always seeking comfort, safety, and love. When Mercury, our chatty planetary pal, drops by for a visit, it's like a cosmic group hug. We're not just sending "u up?" texts at 2 AM, we're actually telling people how much we care. We're basically turning into giant, walking Hallmark cards.
During Mercury's astral sleepover in Cancer, we get to flex our intuitive muscles. And no, I'm not talking about your gut feeling that there's one more slice of pizza in the fridge. This is more about tapping into the subconscious stuff, the inklings and whispers that you usually ignore while you're doom-scrolling on Twitter. This is our chance to make Dr. Spock proud and embrace the logic of our instincts.
You know that weird human thing where we listen just to respond, not to understand? Well, Mercury in Cancer is here to flip that script. It's time to zip it, tune in, and really listen. Not just with our ears, but with our hearts too. And yes, I know how that sounds. But don't knock it till you try it. Even the silence can be loud if we’re tuned in. So, let's lean into this astrological plot twist and become the best listeners in the galaxy. Who knows what we might hear?
Venus
Venus is in Leo
Venus is prograde at 19 Leo 38' 43", moving at 0.67 degrees per day, and is 76586278km away and approaching.
Venus Is In Leo
When Venus Takes a Trip to Leo
Grab your interstellar popcorn, folks! Our celestial drama queen Venus has just strutted into the fiery realm of Leo, and boy oh boy, is it going to be a show. Now, picture this: Venus, the goddess of love, draped in a sparkling cape of stardust, taking center stage in the cosmic theater. And Leo, the ultimate show-off of the zodiac, rolling out the red carpet, ready for the performance of a lifetime. You do the math, my star-gazing buddies.
This is not a time for whispering sweet nothings under the stars. Oh no, we're entering the era of love proclamations amplified by megaphones, billboards declaring undying devotion, and skywriters spelling out proposals. Leo's flamboyant energy coupled with Venus's love vibes turns up the heat, setting the stage for passion-fueled grand gestures, and maybe even a little bit of drama (because what's a show without a plot twist?).
But beware, dear stargazers, as this cosmic alignment can also make us a tad bit... self-centered. Remember the wise words of a certain intergalactic captain, "You can't take the sky from me." Well, swap 'sky' with 'spotlight' and you've got the gist of Venus in Leo. It's easy to forget there's no 'I' in 'we', so try not to hog all the limelight, or you might end up dancing solo.
Now let's talk cold hard space credits, because Venus in Leo doesn't just influence our love lives, but also our pockets. This transit is less about saving for a rainy day and more about splurging on intergalactic glitter boots because they make you feel like a rockstar. But remember, Leo's heart is as big as a supernova. So while treating yourself is fun, showering others with extravagant gifts can be just as satisfying, if not more.
So strap in and enjoy the ride, because Venus in Leo is a cosmic rollercoaster of love, drama and generosity that can add some much-needed color to your life. Just remember to keep an eye out for any black holes of ego and extravagance.

Mars in Leo: A Playful Dance in the Stars
Blast off! Mars has just parked its red, dusty self in the celestial territory of Leo. Picture if you will, a cosmic game of interstellar Twister. Mars is that reckless cousin who always spins right hand red and then proceeds to do a backflip onto the board, knocking over Grandma's prized vase in the process. That's Mars in Leo for you.
Now, we all know Leo, that grandiose lion, is the life of every planetary party. So when Mars, the celestial hot-head, comes a-knocking, it's like throwing a supernova into a star-studded shindig. You can bet your last Saturn ring that things are about to get interesting.
If you're feeling a sudden urge to break out your disco shoes and dance like no one's watching, thank Mars in Leo. This is a time for joy, creativity, and letting your inner child run wild. Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull astronaut. Don't be a dull astronaut.
But here's the kicker - with Mars in Leo, it's easy to get caught in a cosmic conundrum of overconfidence. It’s like thinking you can use a black hole as a shortcut without getting spaghettified. Sure, you’ve got the swagger of a solar flare, but remember to keep your feet on Terra Firma. Be like Pluto, humble, lovable, and doesn’t mind being demoted from planet to dwarf planet.
This transit also comes with a side order of drama. You might feel like a star craving the spotlight, and when you don't get it, well, let's just say it's like a supernova feeling neglected. But remember, every planet in our galaxy, big or small, hot or cold, gaseous or rocky, has its own unique role to play. Be patient, your time to shine will come.
In this cosmic dance, Mars and Leo are teaching us a valuable lesson. Ego, like a shooting star, can be beautiful, but if it gets too big, it can turn into a meteor shower of epic proportions. So relish this opportunity to reflect, balance and remember to take your ego with a pinch of interstellar dust.
And remember, folks, space might be a vacuum, but life doesn’t have to suck.
Jupiter

Jupiter Is In Taurus
Alright, space cadets! Buckle up your asteroid belts because we're cruising straight into the cosmos today. Your cosmic GPS? Oh nothing big, just Jupiter parked in Taurus, or as I like to put it, 'the universe's way of telling us to chill out and smell the space roses.' First off, quick fact: Jupiter (the king of wisdom and deep-thought provoking conversations) and Taurus (the zodiac's most chillaxing sign), together are like the ultimate sci-fi duo - think a cosmic Spock and Kirk. They remind us that wisdom isn't some esoteric concept you find at the bottom of a black hole, it's right here, within us, probably hiding behind that last piece of dark matter chocolate you've been saving. With Jupiter in Taurus, you've got a golden ticket to make the Kessel Run towards your dreams. It's like having your own personal droid, buzzing around with practical to-do lists and nudging you towards the finish line. Just remember, this isn't a hyper-space sprint, it's a warp-speed marathon. So, take your time, trust the process, and beam up those triumphs one by one. Plus, let's talk about money, honey! Jupiter is the planet of good luck, and Taurus is the zodiac’s Wall Street tycoon. So, expect some cosmic dividends rolling in. Ever wondered what Scrooge McDuck feels like diving into his vault? This could be your chance! Just keep an eye on that financial warp core and make sure it doesn't go critical. But here's the deal, Taurus has a notorious love for the finer things in life. We're talking gourmet food replicators, high-end starship models, the works. Now, imagine that doubled with Jupiter's expansive influence. Yes, my friend, you might be tempted to go a bit supernova in the indulgence department. But remember, the key to surviving this transit is patience. Don't let impulse purchases teleport you into debt! So, in summary, Jupiter in Taurus is like a galactic party where wisdom, patience, and prosperity are the VIP guests. With this cosmic alignment, you're bound to hit warp 9.9 to success. Live long and prosper, folks!

The Saturn in Pisces Space Opera
Whoa, Star Wars fans! Saturn, the Darth Vader of our solar system, is hanging out with sweet little Pisces. Picture it: Darth Vader doing yoga and meditating in a serene, intergalactic lake filled with peaceful, alien fish. Yes, that's exactly what's happening. Cue the dramatic John Williams score!
Our cosmic taskmaster Saturn, just like Vader, has a reputation for being stern and rule-driven. But when he swipes right on Pisces' dreamy profile, we get a surprising mix. It's like if Leia decided to ditch the rebellion and open an artsy café on Tatooine. So yeah, time to dust off that dream of yours, whether it's penning the next great space opera or creating a perfect droid. Saturn in Pisces wants you to turn those dreams into reality!
These two celestial bodies are teaming up to help us make our dreams come true, but let's not forget who we're dealing with. Saturn isn't going to tiptoe around your feelings. He's a bit like that parent who insists on cleaning your room even though you've got a "No Imperial Stormtroopers Allowed" sign on the door. You might feel defensive, but remember, Saturn has your best interest at heart. He's just all about the 'tough love'.
With Vader, I mean Saturn, in the realm of dreams, you may experience some restless nights akin to Luke Skywalker's Dagobah nightmares. But don't panic! Channel your inner Yoda and cultivate calmness. Meditate, take long Ewok-like walks in nature, or practice your Jedi breathing techniques. And don't forget to catch those Zzz-3POs, because a well-rested Jedi is a victorious Jedi.
So, let the Force guide you through this Saturn in Pisces transit. And remember, as Leia would say, "It's not over yet." It's just the beginning of a new, exciting chapter in your galactic journey.

Uranus In Taurus: A Cosmic Comedy
Alright, my star-seeking comrades, strap on your rocket boots and adjust your spectacles, because we're embarking on a cosmic journey with Uranus in Taurus. Now, I know Taurus prefers things as steady as a Vulcan's pulse, but Uranus is here to shake things up like a warp core breach!
Taurus, the celestial bull, likes its space pasture just-so. But Uranus, that rowdy planet of change, is about to charge through like a rampaging tribble! Imagine Captain Janeway after her third cup of coffee, and you'll have an idea of what's coming. Resistance, as the Borg would say, is futile.
Now, Taurus has a bit of a reputation as a cosmic accountant. It's all about the money, honey. So, with Uranus in the mix, we're looking at a financial revolution of intergalactic proportions. We might see new forms of currency popping up - perhaps Federation credits will finally take off. Traditional banking could be as outdated as a Starfleet uniform from the 23rd century. And the housing and stock markets? Hold onto your phasers, because they're in for a wild ride.
On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is all about freeing us from the Ferengi-like grip of money. Debts, taxes, credit card interest - it’s like being trapped in a Holodeck with a malfunctioning program. We’re talking a total overhaul of our relationship with material possessions. We might even start considering replicators over real possessions.
So, folks, it's time to boldly go where no one has gone before. Digging in our heels won’t stop these changes from happening any more than a red shirt can stop a phaser blast. Embrace the changes, and you might find yourself in a better, more stable place - like the bridge of the USS Voyager! Remember, in the vast expanse of the universe, change is the only constant.
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 41' 11", moving at 0 degrees per day, and is 4446331982km away and approaching.
Neptune Is In Pisces
"Hear ye, hear ye, space voyagers and cosmic wanderers! Set your warp drives to maximum chill, for Neptune has entered the dreamy realm of Pisces. Now, if you're a Vulcan, you might be thinking, "Neptune's prograde motion is logically irrelevant to my life." But come on, even Spock had a soft spot for a good nebula. As Neptune, our beautiful blue planet, roughly 44 billion kilometers from Earth (give or take a few lightyears), cozies up in the water sign Pisces, it's as if the universe is giving us a celestial prescription for rose-colored glasses. And by the power of my pointy ears, you're gonna love what you see. Thanks to this Piscean influence, we’ll start noticing how useless it is to bicker over who left the replicator on or whose turn it is to clean the holodeck. Instead, we'll see the beauty in unity, the power in understanding, and the undeniable logic in sharing a universal sense of compassion. This astral alignment is like a friendly Starfleet officer, urging us to explore strange new worlds within ourselves. It's about discovering our own unique gifts, our inner Captain Picards, if you will. Maybe you'll finally read that Vulcan philosophy book you've been avoiding or create a sacred space in your quarters where you can really connect with the universe – who knows, maybe even engage in a little Vulcan meditation! But the real magic happens when we take these insights and share them with our crewmates. Neptune in Pisces is like a cosmic thumbs-up, reminding us that we're all in this starship together. So, dust off your tricorder, adjust your Starfleet uniform, and prepare to boldly go where no man, woman, or extraterrestrial has gone before. Welcome to the age of Neptune in Pisces, space cadets. Make it so!"
Pluto
Pluto is in Capricorn
Pluto is retrograde at 29 Cap 39' 12", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5064824314km away and approaching.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Alright folks, strap on your space boots and grab your telescopes because Pluto, our beloved dwarf planet, has decided to take a little vacation in Capricorn - a mere 5064843421.794311523km away, but who's counting? Now, you might be thinking, "Hey, I thought Pluto was demoted. Why are we still talking about it?" Well, my dear friends, just because Pluto is smaller doesn't mean it's not packing a punch. Trust me, I've met Chihuahuas with more attitude than a Great Dane. Now, Pluto and Capricorn are like that intense power couple that always seems to be crushing their goals. They're like the Beyoncé and Jay-Z of the celestial world. Together, they're all about success, power, and getting things done. But, you know what they say about too much of a good thing, right? Be careful, because these two might make you a bit too focused, a bit too driven, and maybe even forgetting to consider others' feelings. It's like when you're so engrossed in your favorite sci-fi novel that you forget to feed your cat. Sure, you're having a great time, but Mr. Fluffy isn't too happy about it. Pluto, the cosmic declutterer, wants us to drop the dead weight, to say goodbye to the patterns that don't serve us anymore. Think of it like spring cleaning for the soul. But remember, this isn't a demolition derby. You've got to be as precise as a Star Trek Vulcan playing Jenga. So, let's make the most of this astrological event, shall we? Let's channel the strength of Pluto in Capricorn to reach our goals, but let's not forget to factor in the feelings of those around us. Because, let's face it, nobody likes a cosmic bulldozer. And remember folks, in space, no one can hear you scream... but they can definitely hear you apologize. So, keep it kind, keep it funny, and keep looking up!Current Planetary Aspects

Sun Conjunct Mercury
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.

The Sun
Sun Sextile Jupiter

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.

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.

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.Mercury

Hoover, Paul Newman, Olivia Newton-John, Pierre Trudeau; Trines – Wilem Dafoe, Sally Field, Ed McMahon, Raquel Welch, Robert Urich.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
Venus Square Uranus
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.

Mars Square Uranus
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
