Moon Is In Pisces

Well, well, well, stargazers and celestial enthusiasts, get your telescopes out! The Moon has decided to take a dip into the deep, mystical waters of Pisces. That's right, our dear Luna is currently lounging in the 12th house, some 360,867.170553543km away - don't you just love the precision of astronomy? Like Obi-Wan Kenobi navigating through the cosmos, let's use our inner force to understand what this means for us. You see, Pisces, the fish of the zodiac, is all about dreams, intuition, and spirituality. It's basically like the Yoda of the star signs, full of wisdom and a little cryptic at times. With the Moon in Pisces, it's a fabulous time to embrace your imagination. Yes, I'm talking to you, everyone who daydreams about being a Jedi knight or ruling their own galaxy. This is your moment! On the other hand, it might also make you feel as emotional as Luke Skywalker when he found out about his, erm, complicated family tree. But don't get too comfortable, my galactic voyagers. In the next 24 hours, our Moon is pulling up its cosmic trousers and moving on to the fiery lands of Aries, the equivalent of Anakin Skywalker pre-Darth Vader. So, expect a shift in energy, perhaps a sudden urge to take the lead, be heroic, or maybe build your own lightsaber (please don't, it's not covered by insurance). Remember, the Force, or rather, the universe, is always in motion. And as your personal Obi-Wan, I'm here to guide you through it with a dash of humor, a sprinkle of science, and a whole lot of starry wisdom. May the Moon Force be with you!

Mercury In Virgo: The Nerd's Nirvana

Alright, stargazers and science geeks, strap in; we're about to embark on a cosmic journey where Mercury takes a trip to the analytical realm of Virgo. Now, Mercury might be around 146148473.354301304km away (give or take a few kilometers), but its influence is much closer than you think!

With Mercury in Virgo, imagine our collective brainpower transforming into the equivalent of a supercomputer. You know, the kind that could calculate the number of grains of sand on a beach while simultaneously debating the merits of Kirk vs. Picard. Our thoughts become laser-focused, our words as precise as a Vulcan's eyebrow arch, and our communication skills? Let's just say even C-3PO would be jealous.

And oh boy, productivity! You thought you were on top of your to-do list before? Ha! With Mercury in Virgo, you'll be cranking out tasks like a replicator on overdrive. But remember: All work and no play makes even a Vulcan dull, so remember to pencil in some fun too.

Of course, there's a flip side to this coin (or should I say, asteroid?). We can get so engrossed in hunting for errors, it's as if we've got tricorders for eyes. We start noticing flaws faster than Scotty can say "I cannae change the laws of physics!". The key here is to channel our inner Deanna Troi and communicate with understanding and tact. Remember, folks, there's a thin line between constructive criticism and being a Ferengi.

So, as we navigate this period of Mercury in Virgo, let's remember to temper our new-found analytical prowess with a dash of kindness. After all, we're all just star-stuff navigating this cosmic voyage together.

Venus in Leo: A Cosmic Disco Party

Alright, star gazers, buckle up! Venus has just sashayed into the celestial party wearing a dazzling Leo ensemble. And trust me, this cosmic diva is here to turn the volume up to eleven on all things love and money. It's like a solar powered disco ball just started spinning in the sky.

When Venus struts into Leo's fiery territory, it's like your heart suddenly thinks it's auditioning for a Broadway musical. Expect dramatic declarations of love, spontaneous serenades under the stars, and enough romantic gestures to fill a Taylor Swift songbook. Remember, with Venus in Leo, "like" is a four-letter word. You don't want to be liked, you want to be idolized. Or at least have a dedicated fan club.

But remember, folks, Leo's energy isn't just about passionate love letters and Hollywood-style romantic gestures. It’s also got more drama than a season finale cliffhanger. Feeling unnoticed or underappreciated? Uh-oh, you might find yourself starting a tiff with your significant other just to get some limelight! And let's not forget, there's no 'i' in team... but there certainly is in 'Leo'. So, make sure you're not so focused on your own marquee that you forget about your co-star.

Money? Oh, during Venus in Leo, it's less of a means to an end and more like a prop in a grand production number. You'll want to spend it on shiny things that make you and your loved ones feel like stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Remember though, while splurging on yourself may feel good, Leo's generous spirit gets even more satisfaction from spoiling others. Think big, think grand, think "Oprah's Favorite Things".

So folks, as Venus pirouettes through Leo, let that light invigorate your relationships, paint your life with vibrant colors, and remind you that without a little fun and excitement, life can be as dull as a cloud-covered night sky.

Mars

Mars is in Virgo

Mars is prograde at 15 Vir 16' 08", moving at 0.62 degrees per day, and is 357667361km away and receding.

Mars Is In Virgo

Alright, stargazers and quantum connoisseurs, grab your telescopes and calculators, because we've got Mars parked in Virgo and it's going to be a cosmic rollercoaster! You might be thinking, "What does that even mean?" Well, I'm glad you asked, hypothetical person that I just made up! Mars, our fiery red neighbor, is the planetary embodiment of action and energy, while Virgo is the celestial symbol of efficiency. It's like a cosmic delegation of tasks! So, while Mars is doing its thing in Virgo, expect to become an uncanny master of time management, trimming the fat off your work habits like a space-age samurai. This is also prime time for a health overhaul. Virgo rules the 6th House of Health and Self-Improvement, so don't be surprised if you suddenly feel the urge to join a gym or adopt a kale-only diet. The power of Mars in Virgo compels you! And with Mars being the stickler for routine, those new habits could stick around longer than your last binge-watch obsession. But beware, my fellow celestial voyagers, this transit isn't all sunshine and rainbows (or should I say starlight and nebulas?). With Mars in Virgo, we may find ourselves becoming critical to the point of being nitpicky. Our standards are sky-high, and we might start flinging metaphorical space debris at anyone who doesn't meet them. Remember to practice patience, unless you want to experience a real-life version of "The Thing" – but with passive-aggressive comments instead of alien parasites. Instead of turning into a criticism-spewing supernova, use this transit period to focus on tasks that scream for attention to detail. Whether it's balancing your budget, planning for a future Martian colony, or learning how to code, Mars in Virgo provides the perfect energy boost to get things done. So, buckle up, space cadets! It's time to take care of business, interstellar-style!

Jupiter in Taurus: Cosmic Cash Cow or Galactic Glutton?

Okay, stargazers, you might want to sit down for this one. I know you're buzzing around like the caffeine junkies you probably are, but if ever there was a time to chillax, it's now. Jupiter, that big ol' planet of wisdom and overindulgence, has sauntered into Taurus, the zodiac's resident couch potato. And when these two meet, it's like a cosmic Netflix binge-session with a side order of deep, philosophical pondering. Think Socrates in slippers.

But why is this important, you ask? Well, during this transit, Jupiter and Taurus are like a celestial power couple, inspiring us to make a number of slow, calculated moves towards our long-term goals. Think of it as a cosmic game of chess: they're urging us to be patient, strategic, and determined. So, instead of running around like headless chickens, we should take a breather and plan out our next moves. Remember folks, Rome wasn't built in a day; it took a good few years, some epic architecture, and a whole lot of patience.

Now, here's where things get interesting. Jupiter is basically the galaxy's lucky charm, while Taurus is the Warren Buffet of the zodiac. Put them together, and you've got yourself a potential goldmine. I'm talking serious moolah, people. But before you start planning your early retirement, remember: with great cosmic power comes great responsibility. We mustn't let ourselves get carried away with the promise of wealth and forget about the importance of restraint.

Taurus, bless its hedonistic heart, has a tendency to indulge a little too much. It's kind of like that friend who insists on ordering the extra-large pizza when a medium would suffice. And when Jupiter, the planet of excess, enters the mix, we might find ourselves blurring the line between needs and wants. So, while it's tempting to treat yourself to that 85 inch 4K TV, remember: not everything that glitters is gold. Or, in this case, not every on-sale electronic item is a necessary purchase.

In sum, Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic invitation to channel your inner tortoise: slow and steady wins the race. So, use this time to focus, strategize, and make some

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 05 Pis 30' 14", moving backwards at 0.07 degrees per day, and is 1322905335km away and approaching.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Alright, Star Wars fans, buckle up because we are about to embark on a journey through the galaxy – no Millennium Falcon needed. Saturn, our very own Darth Vader of the solar system, has decided to take a vacation in Pisces, the dreamy realm of the zodiac, which is as surprising as finding out that Leia is Luke's sister. As our cosmic overlord takes a dip in the Piscean sea, it's like Yoda guiding us through a Jedi training session. Our dreams, fantasies, and even that secret plan to build your own Death Star (metaphorically speaking, of course) might come under scrutiny. But remember, just as Leia stood strong against Vader's intimidating presence, you too, can face Saturn's interrogations like a boss! But let's not forget, even though Saturn may seem as tough as Chewbacca's hair, it's here to help us. So put down the lightsabers, folks. This is not an invasion but rather an invitation to clean up our mental spaceship and get our plans in order. So channel your inner R2-D2 and start beeping out a strategic plan. However, this transit isn't all work and no play. Remember, we are dealing with Pisces, the zodiac's Chewbacca, always ready for a good nap. Therefore, during this period, you might feel a touch of the Force making you a bit restless or anxious. If so, don't fret! Practice some Jedi mindfulness techniques like meditation, deep breathing or simply taking a leisurely stroll through your nearest Ewok village (aka a quiet forest). And oh, one more thing: don't forget to keep your dream journal handy. You never know when you'll have a prophetic dream about mastering the Force... or finally figuring out how to get that annoying hyperdrive to work. May the force (and the stars) be with you!

Uranus in Taurus: The Hobbit Edition

Good morrow, stargazers! Picture this: Uranus is Gandalf, arriving unannounced into the Shire of Taurus, a land fond of its creature comforts and resistant to change. Taurus, much like Bilbo Baggins, would rather enjoy a second breakfast than embark on an unexpected journey. Yet, dear Hobbits, change is in the air!

Uranus in Gandalf's guise is bringing a whirlwind of changes, whether you're ready for an adventure or not. The old ways of doing things? Pish posh! Gandalf-Uranus is about to turn your world upside down. And let's face it: we all know how that turned out for Bilbo. In the end, he discovered the strength within him and the comfort of home in a broader sense. So buckle up, my earthy Taurus friends, you're in for a ride!

And here's an interesting twist in our tale: Taurus, like a true Hobbit, has a knack for dealing with treasure. But Gandalf-Uranus, with his prograde magic, is set to revolutionize this realm. Brace yourself for strange new currencies, potential banking upheavals, and even a housing market riddle.

On the personal front, Gandalf-Uranus encourages you to break free from the Smaug-like grip of money. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages – they're your very own Lonely Mountain. It's time to confront the dragon, reclaim your gold, and change your relationship with material possessions.

Resisting won't do any good. Remember, even Bilbo had to step out of his comfortable hobbit-hole. The changes you make during this period can actually lead to greater stability, like Bilbo finding a newfound appreciation for his simple life after his adventure. Uranus is here to liberate us, not to throw us into the fire. So, dig in your heels, brace yourself, and remember: "Courage will now be your best defense against the storm that is at hand-—that and such hope as I bring." Change is coming, but it might just lead to a better place.

Neptune in Pisces: A Space Odyssey

Alright, buckle up space cadets, we're about to embark on a cosmic voyage that's so far out, it makes the distance from here to the local grocery store seem like a jaunt to your kitchen. Our trusty spaceship? Neptune. Our destination? Pisces. And before you ask, yes, I checked Google Maps and yes, it's a whopping 4,366,881,156.309617043 km away. No, we won't stop for bathroom breaks. Now, here's where the sci-fi plot thickens: Neptune is currently doing the moonwalk, or more scientifically put, it's in retrograde. This stellar combo of Neptune in Pisces is like mixing quantum physics with yoga. It's confusing, enlightening, and makes you want to wear loose, comfortable clothing. You see, Pisces brings the emotion, the spirit, while Neptune has this irresistible urge to merge, like two black holes at a dance party. The result is a clear vision emerging from the cosmic fog. Suddenly, you realize that arguing about who left the cap off the toothpaste is about as productive as trying to teach a cat algebra. It's a golden opportunity, folks. The path to unity is lit up like a UFO in Roswell, and it's calling us to ditch the petty differences and come together like a perfectly orchestrated flash mob. So, what can you bring to this intergalactic potluck? Maybe you've got the gift of gab, or perhaps you can whip up a mean veggie lasagna. Whatever it is, now's the time to use your emotional GPS and find your unique contribution to our collective progress. Think of it as your own personal Star Trek mission. And here's a pro tip: Try dipping your toes into that spiritual river you've been eyeing. Maybe it's time to set up a little sacred space at home—a sort of spiritual charging station, if you will. Then, think about how you can share your newfound wisdom with the world. Remember, the force of Neptune in Pisces is strong with us. So, let's boldly go where no horoscope has gone before!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 49' 03", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5061330758km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Alright, star gazers and universe surfers, grab your telescopes and hold onto your horoscopes, because Pluto - that tiny, misunderstood rock floating about 5.06 billion kilometers away (give or take a few million) is currently doing the cha-cha slide in the opposite direction. That's right, folks, it's retrograde season. And no, this doesn't mean your coffee machine will suddenly start brewing tea. Now, this isn't just any retrograde. Pluto is boogying in Capricorn, which brings a whole new dynamic to the celestial dance floor. Imagine Pluto as that nerdy kid at the party, suddenly taking center stage, busting out some seriously impressive moves. That's what we're dealing with here. Pluto and Capricorn are like two peas in a pod when it comes to their shared ambition and focus. They're that power couple everyone secretly wants to be. But remember, this isn't a rom-com. There's drama afoot. They can be a little too intense, maybe even a bit bossy. You might find yourself dismissing others' opinions faster than you can say "Pluto is still a planet!" So, let's try not to get too carried away by their power trip, shall we? Pluto, that cosmic clean freak, is all about chucking out the old to make way for the new. It's time for some cosmic spring cleaning, if you will. But remember, folks, destruction can be constructive too. So, be mindful of what you're tossing into the intergalactic trash bin. In the wise words of Fox Mulder, "The truth is out there." And if you can't find it, at least you'll have a spotless cosmic closet. Happy stargazing!

The Sun

Sun Square Jupiter

Today will be one of optimism and self-confidence. Your only danger is in becoming over-confident. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch the tendency towards self-aggrandizement, false pride, and over-indulgence in food and drink. Don't overspend, as you are likely to feel extravagant today.Although their intentions are generally good, people with challenging aspects between the Sun and Jupiter are given to overdoing things. They can easily gloss over realistic details and get themselves into debt, overindulge in pleasures such as food and drink, and promise more than they can deliver.For the most part, they find help for their excesses. Somebody’s there to bail them out, as plenty of people believe that their hearts are in the right place. Generally, this is the case, but if excessive behavior becomes a pattern, and the natives continually face light consequences, there is the danger that they will not learn from their mistakes and abuse the “system”, relying on their friends and family to help them out a little too often. Their reputation for being good people, thus, can eventually be used to further their purposes.However, many people with this aspect don’t fall into the trap of losing their sincerity. They are generous, helpful, and charitable. Still, the tendency to live beyond their means is a real threat that many struggle with much of their lives. Another thing to watch for is depression. These people tend to go through periods of intense highs when they are excessively optimistic. These periods are so marked that they seem to be unnatural and a fall seems to be inevitable. They can make promises they intend to keep, but have a problem with follow-through. Self-control can be a real problem. Usually quite knowledgeable and generous with their time, these people have many talents that they may take for granted.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Billy Crystal, Ian Scott Anderson (Jethro Tull), Nell Carter, Edgar Cayce, Linda Goodman, George Lucas, the Olsen twins, Dolly Parton, John Ritter, Oscar Wilde; Oppositions – Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges, Monica Lewinsky, James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner.Alternate interpretations:Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.Sun in hard aspect to Jupiter: Part of your soul purpose is to promote growth and expansion, whether material, intellectual, or spiritual. You are impelled to be involved in large enterprises that have broad social consequences and influence many people, and you need a rather large arena in which to make the impact you wish. You dream BIG dreams and generally possess the self confidence to promote yourself and your ideas on a wide scale. Your willingness to take risks and to branch out into areas you have yet to explore, along with your ability to project into the future and to see the big picture, all add to your capacity to come to prominence and succeed in life in a big way. However, just as unchecked growth and over-development can lead to undesirable consequences for, say, the natural environment, so too can your own urge for “more” or “bigger” have harmful effects. When out of balance, you are prone to exaggerate, to be ostentatious and pretentious, to be overly optimistic and promise things that you can not reasonably do, and to be seemingly unable to limit or restrict yourself in a realistic way. The ego-gratifications you get from being a “big-wig” may become a primary motivation rather than simply an offshoot of your accomplishments. You may be unwilling to pay your dues, too quick to try a shortcut (moral or otherwise) in your eagerness to gain your aspirations. You may also have enjoyed “favored son” or “favored daughter” status in your household growing up, and thus expect things to come easily to you. Generally they do, but relying too much on this kind of luck can lead to errors of judgment on your part, not to mention major disappointments. On a physical level, over consumption could lead to overweight and/or problems with your liver.At your finest, though, you have a generous heart, a positive spirit, and the desire to live for something bigger than yourself. Using these gifts, you can contribute much good to the world as well as your own spiritual refinement. The qualities of hope and joy are also yours to transmit to the world. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.Sun square Jupiter: You have big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. You tend to exaggerate, to promise more than is possible, and to misjudge through being overly optimistic. However, you never lose your hopes for the future. Restlessness and discontent with responsibilities and limitations in life can be troublesome for you. — Interpretation from the Merlin Report.Sun square Jupiter: You tend to be stubborn and unable to make solid career choices. You get carried away and go off in directions contrary to your actual needs. Your judgment in vocational matters is often off, sending you on a wild goose chase. In addition, there is possible difficulty with authorities and the law and/or differences with older people. To use an old adage, you can (at times) be your own worst enemy. The advice of a trusted friend regarding career is to be recommended. — Interpretation from Zet Software.Sun square Jupiter: (The Pompous) Your eye is very much on the “donut” and not on the “hole.” You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by extensive travel. Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center stage to hear your own voice. Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.

Mercury

Mercury Opposite Saturn

Your thinking may be concentrated, obstructed, morose or limited today. Saturn has a way of throwing cold water and constraints on things. Depression is possible, but it will pass, so try to stay optimistic. There may be delays in mail or letters or phone calls. A negative mental outlook along with an unwillingness to accept the ideas of others is characteristic of this aspect. Don't be worried over a lack of inspiration. It won't last long. People will challenge your ideas.Saturn connected to a personal planet in hard aspect has a censoring effect on the planet involved. With Mercury in hard aspect to Saturn, whatever the person says and writes is self-censored to some degree. It’s hard for these people to pour out their emotions, no matter how emotional or needy they feel on the inside. This is because they are always aware of what others might think of them with what they say. They are not necessarily deliberate talkers or thinkers. In other words, they don’t always pick and choose their words carefully or speak slowly. However, they are careful with what they reveal to others. They make plenty of disclaimers, and often come across as negative or sarcastic without intending to. These are people who review conversations they’ve had with others, and who often kick themselves for saying something they didn’t intend to, or for not saying something witty. Saturn tends to have a hobbling effect, and when it’s attached to the planet of communication in hard aspect, there can be some feelings of insecurity about how we speak and communicate in general. These people tend to worry about what they’ve said and how they could have said it better. Some older astrology texts suggest that there can be learning disorders or “slowness” with this aspect, but this is rarely the case. In fact, many people with this aspect are very strong academically. The flow of their communication is blocked in some manner, however, and this is due to an automatic “self-censoring” tendency. Self-consciousness and hypersensitivity is experienced with regards to their intelligence and ability to get ideas across to others, especially in youth. These people need plenty of positive feedback from others in order to feel more confident and less “blocked”.If you have this aspect in your chart, recognize that you are most likely harder on yourself about how you communicate than others are. Ask people close to you for an objective point of view. Chances are, they find you to be astute, intelligent, and an effective speaker or writer. We often tell our kids “don’t worry about what others think”, but telling this to a person with a hard Saturn aspects is not enough, nor is it realistic. They will worry. Instead, I have found that the best way to handle difficult Saturn aspects is to get objective feedback from others! Mercury-Saturn people don’t accept compliments whole-heartedly, yet they crave them and need them. Others around them tend to stop complimenting them, feeling that they either don’t need compliments or don’t want to hear them. Nothing can be further than the truth!Mercury opposition Saturn Your intellectual capabilities are well developed, and you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. You are likely to possess academic “smarts” and writing ability. In some ways you are a loner. This is likely because your greatest feelings of security arise from a job well done. Be sure to exercise caution in entering into contracts. Don’t overlook the important details that can boomerang against you later. It may be best to hire an attorney or other advisor to help you with these tasks. You might find that you are the victim of “red tape”, mix-ups, and communication problems more than most.You sometimes come across as more stern or harsh than you actually are! There is likely to be a negative or sarcastic style to your speech that you may not always be aware of, but that others pick up quickly. You will find that others often misunderstand your intentions rather easily, or that you misrepresent yourself unwittingly. You often kick yourself for saying (or, more often, not saying) something after a conversation is over. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Sheena Easton, Kevin Kline; Oppositions – Steven Seagal, Kurt Russell, Tiger Woods, Robert Redford, Patrick Duffy.

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.

Today is the day to expand and set new plans into action. Broaden your horizons and don't limit your possibilities. Business ventures are favored, as is higher education, legal matters, spiritual endeavors and charitable pursuits. Luck is all around you today, but you have to make it happen. Don't just sit there waiting for it to come to you.You tend to be restless and prone to boredom. You need a partner who can keep up with your lightning responses to your environment - and one who truly understands your love of intellectual competition and sparring.You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.Communication is important to you. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually, which is admirable indeed!Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong.
