The Sun

Solar activity returned to moderate levels as Region 3387 (N18W89, Dso/beta) produced a single M3.6 flare (R1-Minor) at 08/0931 UTC. No CME appeared to be associated with this flare, and foreshortening prohibited accurate magnetic complexity determination for this region. Region 3394 (S23W03, Cso/Beta) exhibited slight growth, developing a few peripheral spots around the main leader spot. This region did produce a C8.7 flare at 08/1810 UTC, but we await coronagraph imagery to determine if it had a CME associated with it. Region 3395 (N14E11, Cao/Beta) had some minor growth as as well, as it too developed a few peripheral spots around the main leader spot. However, it remained mostly inactive during the period. The remaining regions were stable and inactive.

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 remained weakly enhanced, yet fairly stable, during the period. Solar wind speeds averaged near 490 km/s, total field was between 2-8 nT, and Bz was between +/- 6 nT. Phi oscillated between positive and negative orientations.

There is a 35% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 10% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The Moon

The waning moon is currently in Taurus, at 26 degrees, 23' 49", at a velocity of 12.86 degrees per day.

The Third Quarter moon is currently 23 days old. It is 384356.88 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 9:38:49, 16 Aug, 2023. The next full moon is at 1:37:05, 31 Aug, 2023.

Moon Is In Taurus

Alright, my celestial comrades, buckle up because we're embarking on an astrological adventure! The Moon, our nocturnal celestial bestie, is currently chilling in Taurus, roughly 387,263.352774365km away - not that I'm keeping tabs or anything. Now, I know what you're thinking, "What does it all mean?" Well, let me explain. When the Moon is in Taurus, it's like a cosmic spa day. It's all about comfort, self-care, and indulging in the finer things in life - like that extra slice of pizza or binge-watching your favourite sci-fi series (I'm looking at you, fellow Star Trek enthusiasts). But don't get too comfy in those plush robes just yet. The Moon is a speedy little satellite and she's packing her bags for a trip to Gemini within the next 24 hours. So, what does this mean for us earthlings? Well, imagine if Spock suddenly decided to throw a party with disco lights and karaoke. Sounds wild, right? That's the energy shift we're looking at. From tranquillity and indulgence, we're moving towards a more social, communicative space. So, prepare for some potentially intense debates about Star Wars vs. Star Trek, or quantum physics vs. string theory. No need to worry though, just remember to keep your facts straight and your arguments logical. And most importantly, don't let anyone tell you that your love for both Star Wars and Star Trek is illogical. Because in the grand cosmic scheme of things, we're all just star dust trying to make sense of this wondrous universe. So, in the words of the great Carl Sagan, "We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the Earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically." And remember, no matter what the stars say, you have the power to create your own destiny. Peace, love, and quasars, astro amigos!

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is prograde at 13 Vir 46' 53", moving at 0.99 degrees per day, and is 135132530km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Greetings, fellow cosmic voyagers! Grab your telescope, calculator, and your favorite pair of Birkenstocks because we're heading on an interstellar road trip to where Mercury is currently chilling in Virgo. Yeah, that's right, the tiny little speedster of our solar system has parked itself 135,244,688.230856180km away, and it's in prograde, or as I like to call it, "moving forward with purpose, kind of like a hipster on a vintage bicycle." You see, when Mercury decides to vacation in Virgo, it's like your brain suddenly turns into Sherlock Holmes. You're going to want to strip away all the fluff and cut straight to the point, just like a vegan at a BBQ. Your mind is going to be sharper than Spock's ears, and your conversations will be as efficient as a well-organized spreadsheet. This period isn't exactly a party in Ibiza, but it's a great time to get things done. It's like having your own personal Marie Kondo in your head, helping you to tidy up your thoughts and focus on what really brings you joy - or in this case, progress. So say goodbye to those circular conversations and dead-end ideas. They are so last season. But, and here's the tricky bit, with Mercury in Virgo, you might find yourself turning into a bit of a cosmic Simon Cowell. You'll see every flaw, every mistake, and it's easy to let that criticism spill out like a poorly secured smoothie in a backpack. Remember, folks, the key here is tact. Constructive criticism is one thing, but nobody likes a Debbie Downer. So, as we navigate this cosmic transit, remember to balance that analytical brilliance with a bit of kindness. After all, we're all just stardust tumbling through the universe, trying to figure things out. Happy voyaging!

Venus Is In Leo

Beam Me Up, Venus!

Alright space cadets, buckle up and prepare for interstellar love as our galactic goddess, Venus, has just moved into Leo! Now, folks, that's not just any old constellation, but Leo, the celestial king of drama and flamboyance. It's like inviting Lady Gaga to a karaoke night, expect fireworks!

In this cosmic rom-com, no one just wants to be the cute best friend; we all want to be the lead! We're talking grand gestures, serenading under starlit skies, and enough love confessions to make Romeo and Juliet blush. Take a risk, channel your inner Han Solo, and you might just find your Princess Leia (or vice versa!). But remember, playing it safe is the equivalent of saying, "I'll just stay in my pajamas and watch Netflix." Not today, Saturn, not today.

Now, don't be surprised if things get a little... heated. Leo is the director of drama and when Venus is on stage, there are no small roles. If you're feeling a bit left out, it might be tempting to channel your inner Godzilla and start stomping around. But remember, this isn’t a solo mission. We're a team here, and making it all about you is a fast track to becoming a lonely astronaut.

And let’s talk about money, because when Venus is in Leo, we’re not just buying groceries, we’re throwing a feast! Expect to feel the urge to splurge on the sparkliest, most luxurious items you can get your hands on. You might be tempted to buy that diamond-encrusted cat collar or gold-plated pizza cutter, but remember, true happiness comes from being generous. So, go ahead and treat your loved ones to something extravagant. Just remember, it's not about the price tag, it's the thought that counts.

In short, Venus in Leo is like a cosmic disco ball, casting colorful lights in all directions and reminding us that life without a little fun and excitement is like a spaceship without fuel. So, put on your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let's boogie through the cosmos together!

Spock Meets Martha Stewart: Mars in Virgo

Alright, star children, the red planet is playing houseguest to Virgo and I'm not talking about a polite drop-in for a cup of cosmic tea. No, Mars has parked itself in Virgo's celestial living room, and it's ready to get down to business. Think Spock with a cleaning schedule or Martha Stewart armed with a phaser - efficiency is the name of the game.

Virgo, bless its earthy socks, runs the 6th House of Health and Self-Improvement like a well-oiled machine. So, with Mars popping in, don't be surprised if you feel an inexplicable urge to declutter your life, join a yoga class, or start eating kale. And yes, I know, the last one is a hard sell, but trust me, Mars in Virgo makes even the most unpalatable life choices seem appealing.

But beware, my celestial comrades, this transit isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. You see, when Mars and Virgo collaborate, they can turn into the Simon Cowells of the zodiac. Nitpicking becomes a sport and aggression can escalate faster than a SpaceX rocket. Keep your cool, remember no one likes a perfectionist, not even a perfectionist.

So, instead of criticizing everyone else's inefficiencies, use this time wisely. Got a budget that needs balancing? Do it. Want to learn how to knit? Go for it. Dreamt of starting a small organic farm in your backyard? Well, now's the time! Mars in Virgo is all about taking care of business, so seize the day!

Remember, folks, it's not about being perfect, it's about being productive. So, strap on your space boots, pull up your big boy/big girl/big non-binary pants, and get to work! Mars in Virgo is here, and it's ready to help you rock your world!

Jupiter in Taurus: The Astrological Big Lebowski's Cosmic Bowling Alley

Alright, star gazers, grab your cosmic bowling shoes because Jupiter has just rolled into Taurus' lane! Picture Jupiter as the planet-sized bowling ball, and Taurus as the pins - sturdy, dependable, and ready to get knocked into next Tuesday. What's this mean for you? Well, let me lay it on you.

When Jupiter, our celestial guru of wisdom, meets Taurus, the zodiac’s steadfast couch potato, it's like a cosmic knock on the door reminding us that our spiritual pizza delivery has arrived. The wisdom we ordered isn’t some out-of-this-world topping we need to chase down. Nope, it's been baking in the oven of our souls all along, just waiting for us to open the door and take a bite. Time to ditch the daily distractions and munch on that deep-dish wisdom pie!

Jupiter in Taurus is like getting extra cheese on your goals. You'll feel a sudden urge to create a practical to-do list, checking off items like a kid with a new box of crayons. Jupiter's expansion pack pairs up with Taurus' stubborn determination, urging us to trust the cosmic process and level up our success game.

When Jupiter parks its celestial bus in Taurus, life's prosperity meter can skyrocket. Jupiter is the lucky charm of the planetary world, while Taurus is the financial advisor. Together, they’re like a cosmic slot machine lined up for the jackpot. So, dust off your cosmic piggy bank and start hunting for those opportunities for growth.

But don't let the cosmic euphoria get to your head. Taurus has a bit of a sweet tooth for the finer things and rarely knows when to say "enough." When Jupiter, the celestial bringer of plenty, teams up with Taurus’ indulgent instincts, we might mistake our desires for needs. So, remember to keep your cosmic impulses in check during this transit. Just because you can order the large cosmic pizza, doesn’t mean you should eat it all in one sitting.

So, in a nutshell: Jupiter in Taurus? It's like a cosmic bowling night where wisdom, patience, prosperity, and a sprinkle of self-control are on the scorecard. Now, lace up those shoes and let's roll!

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn Is In Pisces

Greetings, Star Gazers! Oh, what a time to be alive! Saturn, the universe's very own taskmaster, is currently chillin' in the dreamy realm of Pisces. Yeah, you heard that right! The planet that's as good at holding grudges as your Aunt Bertha at Thanksgiving dinner, is doing its retrograde tango in the zodiac's most whimsical waters. So, prepare yourself for a cosmic paradox that's more confusing than the finale of Lost. The Universe, in its infinite wisdom and cheeky sense of humor, has decided to throw us a curveball that could make even Einstein scratch his head. It's like asking a robot to write poetry or expecting your cat to do your taxes. But hey, stranger things have happened, right? Remember when Pluto was demoted from planet status? Talk about a mid-life crisis... Saturn in Pisces is the Universe's not-so-subtle way of saying it's time to get real with your dreams. Not just those weird ones where you're riding a unicycle on a tightrope over a pool of marshmallows, but your actual, deep-seated desires. Maybe it's time to finally pen that novel about psychic dolphins or start that business selling organic, gluten-free, vegan, artisanal toothpaste. Who knows? But hold onto your crystals, folks! Saturn's visit to Pisces is about as comfortable as a cactus in a balloon factory. Your inner daydreams are about to get a stern talking-to from the celestial equivalent of a tough-love coach. You might feel a bit exposed, like Saturn just walked in on you jamming in your PJs to "Bohemian Rhapsody." But remember, sometimes it takes a little discomfort to kickstart our greatest achievements. And while all this is going on, don't forget to take care of your inner self. Meditate, hug a tree, sleep, repeat. Maybe take up knitting or start a dream journal (I hear Saturn's a sucker for bullet points). Get plenty of rest, drink herbal tea, and try to remember where you last saw your sanity. So, brace yourselves, astrology enthusiasts! Saturn in Pisces is here to shake things up like a snow globe in the hands of an overzealous toddler. It may be a bit of a wild ride, but remember, even the biggest galaxies started as a tiny speck. Here's to exploring the universe within and making the impossible, possible! Stay groovy and

Uranus Is In Taurus

The Force of Uranus in Taurus

Ah yes, Uranus has decided to take a vacation in Taurus, and let me tell you, it's like trying to fit the Millennium Falcon into a Wookie's tent. It's a bit unexpected and might ruffle some fur. Taurus, our favorite cosmic couch potato, likes everything steady and predictable, just like an Ewok likes his treehouse. But here comes Uranus, the cosmic equivalent of a lightsaber, cutting through all that comfort zone like butter. Taurus, you might want to hold onto your hats, and maybe your wallet too.

Speaking of wallets, Taurus is known for its affinity for credits—Galactic or otherwise. With Uranus parking its spaceship in Taurus, we're probably looking at some revolutionary ways of dealing with those credits. We might even see new forms of currency show up. Who knows, maybe we'll finally get off the gold standard and start trading in Jedi crystals.

On a personal level, Uranus in Taurus is like Yoda telling you to let go of your material attachments. Debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent: these are not the things you're looking for. These can prevent you from saving your Galactic credits or using them the way you want to.

Uranus is here to liberate you faster than a Jedi mind trick. Resisting is futile—you can't argue with the Force. Embrace the changes Uranus brings, and you may find yourself on the path to a more stable galaxy. Remember, change is the path to the light side. Change leads to flexibility, flexibility leads to strength, strength leads to prosperity. May the Force (and Uranus in Taurus) be with you!

Neptune Plays Peek-a-Boo in Pisces

Okay, star gazers, grab your telescopes and your most whimsical pajamas because Neptune - yes, that gas giant 2.7 billion miles away - has decided to play house in Pisces, and things are about to get a little... well, nebulous.

Retrograde Neptune in Pisces is like that eccentric uncle at family reunions who pulls quarters from behind your ears and tells you stories about his days as a roadie for the Grateful Dead. Suddenly, it all makes sense - the mystery, the fascination, the far-out vibes. It's time to embrace this cosmic conjunction and dive headfirst into the fishpond of our souls.

With Neptune in Pisces, we're given a kaleidoscope to view our own contradictions. All those petty things we usually fuss about? They're as pointless as trying to count the grains of sand on a beach. Instead, let's focus on the bigger picture: unity, harmony, and that golden glow of collective understanding.

This cosmic alignment is like a celestial call-to-arms. What can we contribute to the grand tapestry of existence? How can we use our gifts, talents, even our nerdy obsessions for the greater good? Maybe it's time to start that underwater basket-weaving class or turn your living room into a shrine for collectible Star Wars figurines. Whatever floats your boat... or spaceship.

Remember, folks, Neptune in Pisces is here to support us in this journey of self-discovery and collective growth. So, let's turn off Netflix, put down the pizza, and get ready to plunge into the cosmic waters. Just remember to come up for air every now and then!

Pluto In Capricorn: The Cosmic Cha-Cha

Alright, my celestial enthusiasts, grab your space turtlenecks and starry spectacles because we're about to embark on a cosmic conundrum where the feisty Pluto has decided to boogie with the stoic Capricorn. Yes, you heard it right! Our little celestial dwarf, some 5 billion kilometres away (give or take a few million) is doing the cosmic cha-cha in the realm of Capricorn. Now, if that doesn't churn your cosmic butter, I'm not sure what will!

Now, remember Pluto and Capricorn are like those two highly ambitious mates at a party, always in the corner strategizing their next big move. They've got a shared love for success and power, always playing the cosmic chess game with an intensity that makes Kasparov look like a beginner. But beware, my astral acquaintances, this pairing can lead to a bit of blinkered vision. It's like staring down a telescope with one eye...you might miss the sneaky comet hurtling towards you from the other side.

So, whilst you're busy achieving world domination or devising plans for that new eco-friendly, time-travelling TARDIS, remember - don't forget to consider other people's ideas. After all, even the Doctor had companions.

And Pluto, our far-flung friend, is all about transformation. It's the cosmic equivalent of a spring clean, urging us to toss out those old habits that have been cluttering up our starship. But remember, it's not just about wanton destruction. This is constructive annihilation. It's like knocking down an old lunar base to make way for a shiny new intergalactic coffee shop.

So as Pluto pirouettes in the dance hall of Capricorn, let's tune in to this cosmic beat. Let's be deliberate in our actions, tolerant in our ideas, and, above all, let's keep our eyes on the stars. After all, as any good Time Lord would tell you, it's usually the journey that's more important than the destination.

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 Trine Jupiter

Your mental judgment is excellent today. Plans you make are well thought out, broad, and focused on seeing both the details and the larger picture. Travel, both mental and physical should be rewarding today. Take care of all legal issues and contracts as the force is with you today. Make long range plans now.Your ideas are big and your intentions noble. You are excellent at seeing the big picture, drawing conclusions, problem solving, and making accurate observations. You love to learn, and spend your life actively absorbing information. Many of you make good teachers with your sincere love of learning and sharing ideas with others. You are also very positive in your communications, readily inspiring others with what you say and how you say it. You are skilled at turning information into an advantage, and in some ways seem to be quite lucky. You are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, and naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking–in fact you have a huge distaste for it. You are generally at ease conversing with people from all walks of life. You might be especially attracted to learning other languages and learning about foreign cultures. Travel is something that you are strongly attracted to.You are very tolerant, generous and optimistic. You always see the positive side of situations and you are very respectful of the traditions and opinions of others. You have a lot of ability for organizing and planning enterprises. You enjoy traveling and any other activity that helps expand your mind. You possess an ease of communication and the facility of learning other languages. — from the Adult report.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mercury and Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Jennifer Aniston, Lucie Arnaz, Tom Berger, Wade Boggs, Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas, Lou Ferrigno, Sean Flannery, Marilyn Manson, Groucho Marx, Jim Morrison, Jack Nicholson, Diana Ross, Yves Saint-Laurent, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey.

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.

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.
