The Sun

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3372 (N24W91, Hsx/Alpha) rotated mostly out of view, making proper classification impossible, and produced a C9.1 flare at 24/0021 UTC and a C8.5 flare at 24/0543 UTC. Region 3379 (N14E05, Dko/Beta) developed negative polarity trailing spots this period as it produced a C8.4 flare at 24/0021 UTC. Regions 3382 (N19E10, Hsx/Alpha) and 3383 (N14E20, Axx/Alpha) were numbered this period, but were otherwise unremarkable. Region 3380 (S11E54, Cao/Beta) continued to rotate into view, suggesting that a separate, not yet numbered spot group is trailing it, and produced low level C-class flare activity.

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

Solar wind parameters were somewhat enhanced, likely due to negative polarity CH HSS influences. Total field primarily ranged 5-7 nT, the Bz component was +/- 6 nT with no prolonged, significant deflections, and wind speeds averaged between ~400 to ~470 Km/s. Phi was predominantly in a negative solar sector

There is a 20% 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.

Moon Is In Libra

Well, well, well, look who's decided to make an appearance. It's the Moon, just casually strolling into Libra like it owns the joint. Now, I don't know about you, but when I'm about 394,745 kilometers away from anything, I tend not to be so presumptuous. But hey, that's just me. The Moon, being the cosmic diva that she is, won't be hanging out in Libra for long though. No, sir! She's got her sights set on Scorpio. Just picture it: the Moon, all dolled up and ready to mingle, heading into the cosmic party that is Scorpio. It's like a high school dance, but with way more gravity and fewer awkward slow dances. So what does this mean for you? Well, as the Moon flirts her way from Libra to Scorpio, you might find yourself reflecting on the balance in your life. Libra loves harmony and fairness, and Scorpio? Well, Scorpio likes to dig deep, to get to the heart of things. So you might find yourself delving into some serious introspection, digging up old memories like a kid with a new shovel. Just remember, life isn't all about cosmic balance sheets and emotional archaeology. Sometimes, it's about sitting back and watching the cosmic soap opera unfold. After all, we're just tiny specks on a floating rock in the vast expanse of the universe. Might as well enjoy the show!

Mercury is in Leo

Mercury is prograde at 24 Leo 39' 04", moving at 1.53 degrees per day, and is 167311464km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Leo

Well, hello there, you celestial connoisseurs! We've got quite a cosmic spectacle brewing up in the star-lit theatre above. Guess what? Our favourite little speedster Mercury has just taken a detour into the flamboyant neighbourhood of Leo. Now if that doesn't set the celestial jukebox playing, I don't know what will! Mercury, being the chatterbox of the galaxy, and Leo, the dramatic showstopper, make for quite the interstellar duo. It's like a cosmic comedy club up there, folks! If you've been feeling like a mime trapped in an invisible box, now is your chance to burst out and let your voice echo across the universe. Just a wee bit of caution though, with Mercury's speed and Leo's expressiveness, your words might escape faster than a photon racing from a black hole. With Mercury in Leo, it's showtime! The spotlight's on you, and it's time to strut your stuff like the grand Lion on a savannah catwalk. Been dreading that speech you're supposed to give? Well, worry not because you'll be spitting fire like a dragon with a belly full of jalapenos. Remember, the stage is yours, so make every word count. But wait, there's more! This celestial alignment's not all talk, no action. It’s like a cosmic muse sprinkling fairy dust of creativity. Time to unleash the Picasso within you, my friends. Dust off your paintbrushes, tune your guitars, get that camera rolling; there's a creative tsunami headed your way! Can you feel it? So buckle up, space cadets! With Mercury in Leo, it's time to turn up the volume, express yourself, and paint the town red... or any color you fancy, really. Now off you go, conquer the cosmos one star at a time!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is retrograde at 28 Leo 30' 31", moving backwards at 0.09 degrees per day, and is 50935625km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Leo

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up and prepare for a celestial roller coaster ride because Venus, our favorite love guru, has just strutted into Leo’s extravagant party, and she's donning her sparkliest attire yet. Ooh la la! You see, when Venus enters Leo’s domain, the universe is basically turning up the volume on every romantic movie soundtrack ever created! It's like that moment when John Cusack held the boombox over his head in "Say Anything," but instead of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," it's blasting Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." Now, my star-crossed friends, keep in mind that under Leo's influence, Venus isn't just interested in love – oh no, she wants to be completely, utterly, absurdly adored. It’s time to break out your boldest moves. This ain't no time for half-hearted "u up?" texts. You better be writing sonnets, serenading under windows, or at the very least, sending some passionately punctuated emojis (we're talking fire, heart, and lion, people!). But beware, fellow stargazers, for Leo also carries the badge of drama. If you feel your spotlight is being encroached upon, you may find yourself channeling your inner diva and starting arguments just to take center stage. Remember, just because there's a Leo in the house doesn't mean everyone else has to be an audience member. Love is a two-player game, not a solo show. Venus in Leo also sees money as a tool for spectacle, creating a cosmic shopping spree. Think Liberace meets Bill Gates. Yes, it's fun to shower ourselves in the glitz and glam, but remember, Leo's true joy comes from generosity. So, splurge on those you adore and make it rain with love. Remember, Venus in Leo is like a cosmic carnival – an explosion of color, excitement, and passion. It's a wild ride, but hey, isn't that what makes life worth living? So, throw caution to the wind, embrace the flamboyance, and let your love roar!

Mars Is In Virgo

Beam Me Up, Virgo!

Pop the celestial champagne folks, because Mars just checked into Hotel Virgo! And let me tell you, this isn't a leisurely vacation. Oh no, Mars didn't pack a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops; Mars is here in a business suit and a briefcase full of to-do lists. You know how people say, "Work smarter, not harder"? Well, that's Mars' mission statement during its stay in Virgo. Efficiency is the name of the game, and procrastination has been booted out the airlock.

And let's not forget that Virgo is the Martha Stewart of the zodiac, ruling over health and self-improvement. So, don't be surprised if you suddenly have an urge to join a Pilates class, start a Keto diet or, heaven forbid, actually use that meditation app you downloaded ages ago. Routine is Mars in Virgo’s best friend, so whatever wellness plan you conjure up now has a fighting chance to stick around longer than your last doomed New Year’s resolution.

But beware, my starry-eyed friends! Mars in Virgo can also be like that annoying friend who points out every little mistake you make. So, before you start criticizing your barista for not making your latte 'just so', remember to channel that energy into something more productive. Trust me, you don’t want to be known as the 'Nitpick Nebula'.

Instead of turning into a cosmic critique machine, take advantage of this transit to tackle those tasks that require precision and focus. Balance the heck out of your budget, plan for your future like a pro, pick up a new skill or even job hunt - you've got Mars in Virgo backing you up! There’s never been a better time for tackling personal business or launching a project. So, go forth and conquer, my star warriors!

Remember, we're all just stardust cruising through the cosmos on a giant rock. So, while Mars is busy making Virgo its temporary home, let's make the most of it. Embrace the energy, laugh at the chaos, and always keep reaching for the stars!

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus

Alright, you space nerds, gather 'round because we're taking a cosmic road trip to the delightful combination of Jupiter - Mr. Wisdom himself - and Taurus - our favorite celestial couch potato. The best part? We don't even need to leave the comfort of our own homes! Isn't technology grand?

Now, when these two titans of the cosmos decide to share the same slice of celestial real estate, it's like your favorite Netflix series releasing a new season - binge-worthy enlightenment! You see, Jupiter is out here, playing the role of that wise old hermit in the mountains, constantly reminding us that we already possess all the answers we seek. They're just playing an eternal game of hide and seek in the hustle and bustle of our lives. With Jupiter in Taurus, it's time to hit pause on all distractions and tap into our inner Yoda. The Force has been with us all along, folks!

Wondering how you could possibly make significant strides towards your dreams? Well, with Jupiter in Taurus, it’s like having a motivational speaker and a personal organizational guru rolled into one. It's time to whip out those planners, create to-do lists that would make the most obsessive-compulsive person proud, and start ticking off those tasks! Let the bull-headed determination of Taurus and Jupiter's growth spurt energy fuel your journey towards success.

Brace yourselves, because this cosmic duo is also synonymous with prosperity. Jupiter’s basically the Oprah of planets – you get good luck! And you get good fortune! While Taurus is busy making it rain with wealth and money. So, grab your financial calculators, it’s time for some cosmic accounting!

But, remember folks, Taurus is a sign that loves the good life and doesn't quite understand the concept of "no". Like a kid in a candy store during the Jupiter in Taurus transit, we might find ourselves confusing needs with wants. So, be careful not to overindulge, or you might wake up with a cosmic sugar crash.

Interstellar Interventions: Saturn's Sleepover in Pisces

Alright, folks! Grab your cosmic popcorn and settle in because the celestial version of 'Parent Trap' is in full swing. Our friendly neighborhood taskmaster, Saturn, currently 1335034121.587333918km away (give or take a few thousand meters), has ditched its usual Capricorn crib and is crashing at Pisces' dreamy pad for a bit. Retrograde much? Anyway, it's like inviting your strict, no-nonsense uncle to a meditation retreat. Hilarious, right?

Saturn in Pisces, my starry-eyed dreamers, is the universe's way of saying it's time for some serious soul-searching. Ever daydreamed about being a best-selling author or owning the hippest vegan café in town? Well, now's the time to channel those dreams into a legit business plan. Think of Saturn as that annoying yet insightful life coach who won't quit until you're living your best life. Not so bad when you put it that way, huh?

Warning alert though! Saturn in Pisces might ruffle some feathers and not in a good way. Imagine Saturn, with its rings all a-jangle, nosing around your cherished dreams. It's like having your privacy settings hacked by the universe's ultimate dad figure. But before you throw a cosmic tantrum, remember, Saturn's not here to ruin your zen. It's just trying to help you turn your dreams into reality. So, open the door, invite the old man in, and listen. He might just have some stellar advice up his astrological sleeve.

Now, all this Piscean energy can make us feel like we've had too much cosmic caffeine, leading to restlessness, anxiety, and sleepless nights. Solution? Embrace your inner hippie! Meditate, walk barefoot in the forest, breathe like you've discovered oxygen, and nap like a cat (dream journal on standby!). And, for the love of all things cosmic, get some proper shuteye. A well-rested mind is a fertile ground for Saturn's wisdom seeds.

So, whether you're ready or not, Saturn's in the Pisces house, and it's time for a celestial spring clean. Sure, it might feel like a cosmic comedy, but remember, even the universe has a sense of humor. Now, let

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus In Taurus: The Galactic Shake-Up

Well, folks, strap on your astrological seat belts because Uranus, that rebellious teenager of the solar system, has decided to crash land into Taurus' ever-so-stable backyard. I can hear Taurus now, grumbling in its Darth Vader voice, "Uranus, I am your father... Why must you disturb my peace?" Ah, the drama of the cosmos!

Taurus, the celestial embodiment of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', is about to get a rude awakening. Uranus is all about change, innovation, and the occasional cosmic facepalm. Your favorite pair of comfy slippers? Gone. Your reliable old toaster that only burns the toast half the time? Out of here. Uranus is here to shake things up and it doesn't care if Taurus isn't ready for it.

Now, as you know, Taurus is no slouch when it comes to handling the Benjamins. It's got a bull's nose for cash. But with Uranus setting up shop, we're in for some serious monetary revolution. We're talking Bitcoin on steroids, folks! Banks might as well start playing the Imperial March, because they could be facing their own Death Star-sized transformation. And let’s not even get started on the stock markets – let's just say, it's going to be like a Wookiee at a hair salon.

On a personal note, this celestial shake-up is all about breaking away from monetary chains. Debt, taxes, credit card interests, rent, mortgages – Uranus is here to wield its lightsaber and free us from these financial Sith Lords. You might feel overwhelmed by the weight of your material possessions, like you’re carrying Yoda on your back through a Dagobah swamp. But don't worry, Uranus in Taurus is here to help us navigate the swamp and find our inner Force.

So, whether you like it or not, it's time for change. Resisting is futile, and probably as effective as telling a stormtrooper to aim better. Embrace the shifts coming your way. Remember, Uranus' changes might feel like a disturbance in the Force now, but they could lead us to a galaxy of greater stability and freedom. May the Force (and Uranus) be with you!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 27 Pis 31' 47", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 4386179349km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, folks, Neptune's done it again. That big blue gas ball is spinning its way through Pisces, like a cosmic disco dancer twirling in a psychedelic sea of stars. Who needs GPS when you've got 4.4 billion kilometers of celestial navigation? Neptune in Pisces is less like a firm handshake and more like a group hug with the universe. It's as though you've walked into a spiritual Costco and everything's in bulk - emotions, connections, dreams...even contradictions are on a BOGO sale. Suddenly, all those petty differences seem about as important as deciding between two identical pairs of socks on a Monday morning. The desire to unify becomes the golden ticket, and much like Charlie in that chocolate factory, we're all a bit overwhelmed, but excited for the journey. Now's the time to ask not what your galaxy can do for you, but what you can do for your galaxy. Got a gift? A brilliant idea that could change the world? A dream so vivid it could be in 4K? Neptune in Pisces is practically handing you the celestial microphone and saying, "Your TED Talk starts now." This transit is also the perfect excuse to go full-on hippie. Embrace that spiritual path that's been calling to you like a cosmic phone ringing off the hook. Set up that altar space at home and connect with the sacred, like your own personal hotline to the divine. But remember, this isn’t only about your spiritual journey, it’s also about sharing the love. Imagine if the Beatles kept all their tunes to themselves because they were too shy? Don't let your light stay under the bushel, my friends. And remember, Neptune in Pisces is here to back you up, like a cosmic cheerleader with pom-poms made of stardust. So, tune into that frequency, answer the call, and let's make this universe a better place, one star at a time.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 29 Cap 03' 08", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5056674078km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Greetings Starfleet cadets, time for a cosmic check-in. Dust off those telescopes, we've got Pluto in Capricorn. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Isn't Pluto not a planet anymore?" To which I reply, "It's complicated, but yes and no." But for our purposes today, Pluto is as much a planet as I am a fan of 60s psychedelic rock - which is to say, significantly. Pluto and Capricorn are like Kirk and Spock. They're both oriented towards success and power – a classic captain and first officer dynamic. But remember, folks, even in the vacuum of space, it's not all about warp speed and photon torpedoes. During this transit, our compassion for others' viewpoints might get sucked out the airlock because Pluto and Capricorn are all about the results. They're like a pair of Vulcans, logic over emotions. So don't be that guy on the away team, the one who gets vaporized because he couldn't see past his own phaser. Embrace the diversity of the Federation. Heck, maybe even listen to a Klingon opera or two. Now, let’s talk transformation. Pluto likes a good purge, like shedding your Starfleet uniform for some local alien garb. It wants us to jettison the red shirts of habits that aren't working for us. Sure, that might mean some constructive destruction. Maybe you need to jettison your self-doubt into a black hole, or set phasers to stun on your procrastination. Just remember, be as deliberate as Picard ordering Earl Grey tea when deciding what to destroy as you create. So, cadets, keep your sensors scanning and your minds open. And remember, even in the far reaches of the cosmos, it's important to stay grounded...like a humpback whale in the 23rd century. Engage!

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Opposite Pluto

Power struggles may be likely today. You may encounter others who try to force their will on you or others who resent feeling as if you are forcing your ego on them. Try to compromise and find a balance. Transformation can come about if you are open to change and if you can keep your ego from becoming all-encompassing. Today may be an intense day. Control your arrogance and your domineering attitudes. Be reasonable.People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves.Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.Famous people with Sun in hard aspect to Pluto: Squares – Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field; Oppositions – Muhammad Ali, Robert Duvall, John Travolta, Elvis Presley, Steve Allen, John Hurt, James Earl Jones; Oppositions – Nicole Brown Simpson, R.D.

Mercury Conjunct Venus

Your appreciation of beauty, art, music and poetry will be stimulated today. Pleasant conversation and harmony are the order of the day. Express your feelings to those close to you. Light mental pursuits bring enjoyment and happiness. Short trips go smoothly.You are charming and gracious, poetic in your self-expression, and usually very polite. This position brings refinement to the nature and an appreciation for the arts. You aim to balance and bring harmony to your world. You can be, at times, quite indecisive, as you tend to see everyone’s point of view, and can see value in almost any perspective or opinion. You have a strong sense of fairness.You are very agreeable and enjoy socializing. Some with this aspect are a little on the lazy side, preferring to socialize than work.You might intellectualize or rationalize your feelings, perhaps thinking a little too much about love and relationship to the point that you lose touch with how you truly feel. You might be attracted to, or attract, intellectual sorts as partners. If this conjunction is challenged, you might frequently attract partners who are tricky or conniving.Many of you are talented at writing and/or speaking. You thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word, literature, wordplay, puns, and enlightening conversations. Many with Mercury conjunct Venus in their charts are downright eloquent.While most people like you, your ability to tune in to the person with whom you are currently speaking to is so strong that you might be accused of being two-faced or superficial. You might also choose your words carefully in order to avoid conflict, and others might not know how you truly feel as a result.Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report: Mercury conjunct VenusYou get along with most people and are usually willing to make compromises in relationships to maintain harmony. That doesn’t mean you become a doormat for others, but you have a strong sense of fairness and do not offend others without just cause. Others are seldom threatened or intimidated by you, largely because of your affable nature and social grace. You are willing to listen to anyone’s opinions and suggestions before making major decisions.Direct competition may be uncomfortable for you, and you may feel more at ease working with a small group of people. Perhaps you enjoy public speaking or performing in the dramatic arts. Another possible source of satisfaction for you would be writing, because of your natural talent for expressing yourself well. You have an imaginative mind and are clever at cooking up schemes to improve your economic situation. It is not difficult for you to turn your many creative ideas into ready cash.Others will usually support you in what you do because they can see that you exercise good judgment. They can believe in you and are glad to pitch in to help you succeed. Just be sure you don’t ask anyone else to take risks you yourself wouldn’t attempt. Actually, any chances that you take will be well considered and are probably not that risky after all.In love relationships, you have a talent for communicating your needs and desires to your partner. You are attracted to people who share your artistic talents or at least an appreciation of the arts. The worst possible mate for you would be one who is socially uncouth. In sex you have a healthy open attitude and can discuss the subject rather easily with your partner. Verbal expression during sex can be very stimulating for you! A lover who doesn’t communicate or who is quiet in bed may not be very satisfying for you in the long haul.Some Famous People with Mercury conjunct Venus: Richard Dreyfuss, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Anne Archer, Erma Bombeck, Laura Bush, Kathy Bates, Alexander Graham Bell, James Coburn, T.S. Eliot, Mark Harmon, Helen Hunt, Ricki Lake, Carlos Santana, Bono (U2), Jimi Hendrix.

Avoid hasty speech and things said in anger in the heat of the moment. Impractical ideas, nervousness, irritability and unexpected disruptions are what you may have to deal with today. There may be sudden changes in travel plans. Be extra cautious while traveling as accidents are possible through carelessness and impatience.You possess a quick mind, you are very intuitive, and you require a great deal of mental stimulation to keep from feeling bored. Preferring to be self-directed, you don’t always take advice easily. There is a part of you that loves to shock, challenge, and instigate with the things you say; however, this may not be a conscious process. Your mental energy and output is extremely variable–one day you might be capable of enormous effort and interest in a project, and the next day the opposite. This is largely due to the fact that you feel a strong need to be true to your instincts and intuition, and if you are not absolutely inspired, you don’t feel right working on a project–you might feel that you are “faking” it, and this doesn’t sit well for you. The problem is that in life there are always going to be routine tasks to complete, things we have to do that don’t entirely suit our interests, and so forth. School years may be challenging as a result of your disdain for a linear approach to learning, routine tasks, and subjects that don’t inspire you, not because of any lack of mental ability. In fact, you can have real flashes of genius and your ideas and perspectives are often very original. At times you can be very dogmatic. You have a tendency to be, or to appear to be, scatterbrained. Your attention span can be short, and as a result, you might often leave projects unfinished. At times you can have an irritable temper and need to channel some of your nervous energy into constructive pursuits. Take time to reflect on what you truly believe in, because many times you are too busy challenging established thought, or playing devil’s advocate, to get in touch with your own opinions and feelings. This way, your intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity can come shining through.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Sigourney Weaver, Oliver Stone, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, Drew Carey, Bjork. Oppositions – Howard Stern, Voltaire, Henri Matisse, Billy Jean King, Robert Browning, Charles Chaplin, Danny DeVito.

Mars Opposite Saturn

You may feel rather restrained and too disciplined by others at this time. You may feel purposely held back from doing the things you want to do. This can cause great frustration and great annoyance. Please try to make the best of it and do not try to get even with them or try to get back at them. The repercussions will only boomerang back to you. If others do not appreciate you at this time, just realize that it is best if you continue working hard, doing the best you can until this combination of energies passes.

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.
