Moon Is In Capricorn

Well, folks, here we are again. The Moon has taken up residence in Capricorn, the ever ambitious, goal-oriented goat of the zodiac. And listen, it's not just hanging around for a cosmic cup of tea. It's about 367,472.579338796km away, give or take a few kilometers (as if that distance is a quick skip and a jump). Now, remember, Capricorn is the straight-laced, suit-wearing CEO of the zodiac. But with the Moon in town, it's like the CEO has been photobombed by a lunar-based hippie, parachuting in with a tie-dye parachute, wearing a tinfoil hat. This celestial event is sort of like inviting your free-spirited, crystal-hoarding, incense-burning cousin to a board meeting. Things are about to get interesting. The Moon's influence will have you yearning for emotional stability, while Capricorn’s energy might make you feel like you’re climbing a mountain barefoot. Don't panic, though. I know it sounds like I'm describing a sci-fi movie where Spock has suddenly decided to pursue a career in stand-up comedy, but this is a time of balance. You'll be asked to juggle the emotional needs of the Moon with the practical demands of Capricorn. So, put on your moon boots, prepare your best power suit, and get ready to walk that strange tightrope between the world of feelings and practical reality. Remember, in space no one can hear you scream...but they can definitely see you rocking that cosmic style!

Mercury in Virgo: A Nerd's Guide to Astrological Precision

Warp into your geeky astronaut suits, cosmic comrades, because Mercury is doing the interstellar tango with Virgo! Now, Mercury is currently 99,766,703 kilometers away, give or take a few million. But don't let that distance fool you, Mercury's influence is as potent as a supernova explosion!

With Mercury moonwalking its way into Virgo (yes, it's in retrograde!), we're entering an era of verbal precision that would make even Spock raise an eyebrow. Get ready to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes because our minds are about to become as sharp as his deduction skills.

Virgo, the zodiac's Marie Kondo, is all about taking in information, stripping it down to its birthday suit, and discarding what doesn't spark joy. As Mercury pirouettes through Virgo, our ability to analyze information could outpace a supercomputer. If you've ever wanted to communicate your thoughts as clearly as a freshly cleaned telescope lens, now’s the time!

And productivity? Oh, we're going to be as efficient as a well-oiled android. This isn't the most disco of transits, but it's got more potential for progress than a warp drive. Instead of getting stuck in black holes of dead-end ideas or conversations that loop like a broken holodeck program, we're laser-focused on details and useful info. We're talking Starfleet-level forward movement here!

But hang onto your tricorders, because there's a glitch in this cosmic code. During this transit, we risk becoming as hyper-critical as a malfunctioning AI. Being discerning is cool – but during Mercury in Virgo, we can get so fixated on finding faults that we start throwing photon torpedoes at others, or ourselves. So remember, refine the way you speak and share your opinions with the tact of a seasoned diplomat. After all, we're boldly going where no man has gone before!

Venus

Venus is in Leo

Venus is retrograde at 13 Leo 25' 06", moving backwards at 0.31 degrees per day, and is 47078452km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Alright my celestial chums, Venus has decided to shimmy on over to Leo, and things are about to get hotter than a freshly overclocked CPU. We're talking full-on pentium processor in a 1990's desktop hot, folks.

Venus in Leo is like when your introverted friend finally gets on the karaoke stage and belts out 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - it's all about glitz, glamour, and not being afraid to make a fool of yourself. Love isn't just in the air, it's blaring through the loudspeakers and the whole cosmic neighborhood can hear it.

With Venus in Leo, we don't just want to be liked, we crave adoration. It's like being in a sci-fi movie where the aliens have come to Earth for our autographs rather than our brains. Keep in mind though, playing it too safe might leave you benched during this interstellar love-fest.

Now, I know what you're thinking – 'Doesn't this mean I'm going to get caught up in some melodrama?' Well, yes. Leo is the Broadway star of the zodiac and just like any good drama, there may be tantrums, tears, and a bit of plate-smashing. But hey, that's the price of admission for this cosmic theatre. Remember to keep the focus balanced between you and your partner though, don't let your ego pull a black hole and consume everything.

And what about money? Well, with Venus in Leo, money is like the starship fuel for your journey towards lavishness. We're talking extra guac at Chipotle level splurging. But remember, the real joy comes from sharing these extravagant experiences and gifts with those you adore. Because what's the point of having a spaceship if there's no one to share the ride with?

In essence, Venus in Leo is like a rainbow-colored rollercoaster ride. It's fun, it's wild, and it might make you a little dizzy, but it'll surely remind you that a life without some excitement would be as dull as a black and white movie about paint drying. So buckle up, stargazers! The cosmic carnival is in town.

Mars

Mars is in Virgo

Mars will change from Virgo to Libra in the next 24 hours.

Mars is prograde at 29 Vir 48' 48", moving at 0.64 degrees per day, and is 370131168km away and receding.

Mars Is In Virgo

Well, well, well, my celestial sidekicks! Gather 'round the telescope because Mars, our cosmic action hero, has wandered into the meticulous realm of Virgo. Imagine Han Solo piloting the Millennium Falcon through the aisles of a library... exciting, right? Mars in Virgo is like having your very own personal trainer and life coach, fused with an obsessive-compulsive accountant. It's all about "doing" and doing it efficiently, like a well-oiled space probe exploring the Red Planet. This is the time to cut unnecessary fluff from your daily routines so you can boldly go where no man or woman has gone before... to the peak of productivity! Now, Virgo has a bit of a reputation for being the health nut of the Zodiac, ruling over the 6th House of Health and Self-Improvement. So, don't be surprised if you find yourself enrolling in a quantum physics course or trying out that new kale-quinoa-tofu smoothie recipe you stumbled upon. Remember, just because it tastes like Martian soil doesn't mean it's not good for you! But beware, my interstellar comrades, there's a dark side to this cosmic combo. Virgo's perfectionism mixed with Mars' fiery energy could turn you into a hypercritical Hulk, ready to smash any inefficiency in sight. Try not to let your need for control and precision turn into a Star Wars saga in your daily life. It's essential to practice the ancient art of patience and remember that not everyone operates at warp speed. Instead of going Darth Vader on your colleagues or loved ones, use this energy to tackle tasks that require an eye for detail. Whether it's balancing your budget, planning a space-themed birthday party, or learning Klingon, there's no better time to take care of personal business than during Mars in Virgo. So strap in, space cadets. It’s time to get things done, and remember: "May the Force of Mars in Virgo be with you."

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 15 Tau 28' 02", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 681300501km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus

Alright, stargazers, buckle up your asteroid belts because Jupiter is hanging out in Taurus, and this cosmic combo is about to shake things up. Now, Jupiter is your friendly neighborhood planet of wisdom - the celestial professor if you will, and Taurus is the zodiac’s most stubborn sign. When these two get together, it's like a cosmic Zen retreat, reminding us that enlightenment is not a mysterious thing outside us but lurking within all along, camouflaged by Netflix binges, food delivery apps, and those pesky work emails.

With Jupiter in Taurus, it's like we've been given the green light from the universe to make real strides towards our dreams. It's a heavenly high-five to start making those to-do lists, and not just for grocery shopping, but for those big, audacious goals. Thanks to Jupiter’s 'go big or go home' ethos and Taurus’ 'slow and steady wins the race' vibe, we're encouraged to trust the process and aim for success that's as real and tangible as the last slice of pizza.

Now, bear in mind, life could be like striking gold when Jupiter is in Taurus. Jupiter is kind of like that rich uncle we all wish we had, ruling over good luck and fortune, while Taurus is essentially the Warren Buffet of the zodiac, all about wealth and money. So, if you're seeing dollar signs, don't worry, it's not an optical illusion - it's just this cosmic energy at work. It’s definitely a good time to take a peek at your bank account and plan how you’d like to see it grow. Maybe even start thinking about what sort of yacht you'll buy when you hit it big.

However, keep in mind, Taurus does have a penchant for indulgence - it's the zodiac's equivalent of a chocoholic in a candy store. And when expansive Jupiter joins the party, we might find ourselves confusing needs with wants. Do you need that 75-inch TV or do you just want it? As we navigate this transit, it’s our cosmic duty to keep our impulses in check. Remember, patience is a virtue, especially when you're debating between the jet ski and the submarine...

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 03 Pis 50' 29", moving backwards at 0.08 degrees per day, and is 1310928748km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Well, well, well, my cosmic comrades, hold onto your horoscopes because Saturn's hitched a ride to Pisces-ville and it's been popping popcorn to watch your dreams on the big screen! Now, don't start sweating bullets. This isn't some cosmic audit (cue dramatic music). Instead, think of Saturn as your interstellar life coach, gently nudging you to take those daydreams seriously. Ever dreamt about writing a New York Times Bestseller while wearing your favorite Star Wars pajamas? Or maybe opening that quirky cat café where every latte comes with a free kitten cuddle? Well, now's the time to move those dreams from the realm of "Yeah, right" to "Yeah, why not?" But let's be real - Saturn in Pisces isn't going to be a frolic through a field of daisies. It's more like a deep-sea dive into the ocean of your aspirations. It might get a bit uncomfortable when Saturn starts poking around your cherished dreams with its giant ring-laden fingers, but remember - this cosmic nosiness is just here to help you tidy up your mental room. Feeling a little anxious? Can't sleep? Well, who can blame you with Saturn peeping into your dreams like an over-eager astronomer with a shiny new telescope! But fear not, my star-crossed friends. This is the perfect time for a little zen. Meditate, walk barefoot in the grass, take a nap (but keep a dream journal handy!), or simply relax and let your mind float in the cosmic soup. So, grab your space suit and get ready for a celestial coaching session that could change your life! Saturn in Pisces is here to make your dreams a reality. Now, how's that for a universal upgrade?

Uranus

Uranus in Taurus: A Galactic Shake-up, Vader Style

So, you think you're as sturdy as a Tauntaun on Hoth, huh? Well, brace yourself for a cosmic shake-up, my friend! Uranus - yes, the planet named after that awkward joke you probably made in sixth-grade science class - is currently cozying up to Taurus. Now, Taurus likes things as steady as a stormtrooper's aim (which isn't saying much, but you get the point), but Uranus? It's about as unpredictable as a lightsaber duel with Darth Maul.

Taurus might prefer a slow space cruise in the Millennium Falcon, sticking to the status quo like Chewbacca to his bowcaster. But let's be real, the old ways aren't always the best ways. Remember when we thought Ewoks were harmless? Yeah, huge mistake. Even if we fight against the changes Uranus in Taurus brings, we've got no choice but to buckle up and enjoy the hyperdrive. Most likely, we'll find that these changes have navigated us to a galaxy far, far better.

Now, Taurus knows its way around money better than Lando Calrissian knows his way around Cloud City. With Uranus playing the financial Jawa, expect some revolutionary ways of handling your Galactic Credits. Brand-new forms of currency may pop up. Banks might see more changes than Anakin Skywalker's morality and the housing and stock markets could be in for a seismic shift worthy of the Death Star's superlaser.

On a personal level, this cosmic alignment is like Yoda urging you to break free from the dark side of financial burdens: debt, taxes, sky-high interest rates, rent, and mortgages. You might feel as trapped by your material possessions as Han Solo in carbonite. During this cosmic event, channel your inner Jedi and be open to change our relationship with money and materialism. Much like the Force, Uranus is here to liberate us. Digging in our heels won't stop these changes from happening any more than Luke Skywalker could stop kissing his sister (ew!). Embrace the changes and you might find yourself in a state of financial stability and freedom that lasts longer than the Empire.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 26 Pis 53' 27", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4334635166km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, well, well, my cosmic voyagers! If you've got your quantum binoculars handy, you'll note that Neptune is currently doing the backstroke through the Piscean seas. Now, just to put that in perspective, Neptune's about 4.3 billion kilometers away. That's like taking a road trip to Pluto, realizing you've left your favorite tie-dye t-shirt at home, and having to turn around halfway there. Now, Neptune being in retrograde in Pisces is kind of like that hipster barista at your local coffee shop suddenly deciding to serve only decaf. It might feel a little confusing, maybe even a bit frustrating (where's my caffeine, dude?), but it's also an opportunity for some serious self-reflection. See, Neptune in Pisces is all about lifting the veil on our own inconsistencies. It’s like when you’re trying to solve a Rubik’s cube while riding a unicycle – suddenly, you realize that arguing about whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better, is rather pointless. The true treasure lies in embracing both, along with Doctor Who and Stargate SG-1. This celestial dance is encouraging us to dig deep into our Dungeons & Dragons utility belt and pull out the unique skills we have to offer the world. Maybe you're the next Picasso of pixel art, or perhaps you've got the ability to explain quantum physics using only sock puppets. Whatever your gift, now's the time to share it. And if you're feeling a spiritual itch, this is the perfect moment to scratch it. Maybe you’ve always wanted to construct an altar to the Flying Spaghetti Monster in your living room, or perhaps you’ve been considering taking up Jediism. Go for it! Neptune in Pisces is your celestial cheerleader, reminding you that no matter how far out your ideas might seem, there's a place for them in our wonderfully weird universe. So, dive into these Neptunian waters, my friends. Just remember to use a snorkel. We wouldn't want any cosmic water up your nose now, would we?

Pluto

Pluto In Capricorn: A Cosmic Comedy

Alright, star gazers, grab your telescopes and calculators because today we're diving into the astronomical conundrum that's causing even the most laid-back Libra to sweat: Pluto in Capricorn. Now, before you start panicking, let me soothe your cosmic concerns with some scientific facts. Pluto is a whopping 5,087,770,182.516016006km away. It's so far away, even your mother-in-law's judgement can't reach it.

So, what does it mean when this distant dwarf planet decides to vacation in the sign of the Sea-Goat? Well, picture Pluto and Capricorn as two overachieving employees, working overtime on a Saturday night while everybody else is out partying. They're all about success, power, and getting things done - no matter how many coffee cups they need to down or how many doughnuts they need to sacrifice.

Beware though, my celestial comrades! This dynamic duo may cause you to develop a selective hearing problem. You might find other people's ideas as appealing as a vegan at a barbecue. But remember, not everyone thinks that your idea to create a rocket-powered skateboard is the next big thing.

Pluto, our distant and icy friend, wants you to ditch those bad habits like they're a flat Earth theory. But this isn't just a spring cleaning spree. Oh no. This is about constructive destruction. Think of it as tidying up your life Marie Kondo style, but instead of thanking your old socks, you're saying sayonara to self-doubt and negativity.

So, strap on your safety goggles, star children. It's time to embrace the cosmic chaos and start creating a universe that's truly out of this world!

The Sun

Sun Opposite Saturn

You may become involved in conflicts between your need for self-expression and your duties to others. The key is to find a balance. You may tend to be selfish today and many problems can be alleviated by thinking of others first. A feeling of loneliness may come upon you today, but it's probably just that, a feeling. It's not the true state of things. Do your duty, meet your obligations, then you have every right to start thinking of yourself.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Saturn face a fair number of challenges in their lives, especially in the first half of life, in which their attempts to express their will are thwarted. There can be a persistent feeling that they don’t get what they want more often than other people around them. They can feel unlucky. Attempts to control their environment, and sometimes others, may be frequent.These people fear their own feelings of inadequacy! They want to be considered accomplished and important people, and when they face obstacles, they don’t always want to believe that they are their own worst enemy. They long to be considered important in the eyes of the world, yet they harbor fear of success at the same time. They take failures and minor setbacks to heart, and some practically beat themselves up over them. Self-awareness to the point of real self-consciousness is characteristic of Sun-Saturn challenging aspects. The truth is, nobody holds a microscope over them, except for themselves. A little setback or a faux pas needn’t be analyzed to death. Fingers needn’t be pointed. No, they didn’t make a spectacle of themselves when they made a mistake. They need to stop worrying about always being right, or appearing suave and accomplished. When they ease the pressure they put on themselves, they find that they don’t face as many brick walls. It is very much about what they feel they deserve. Deep down inside, if they let themselves truly believe that they deserve happiness and peace of mind, they will find it.When Saturn is closely connected to a personal planet, there is usually an effect of censoring going on with whatever is ruled by the planet it joins by aspect. For example, with the Moon, which rules emotions, the natives feel the need to censor their emotions and feelings, scanning them for what is thought to be frivolous. With Saturn and the Sun, there is much self-censoring going on. “I shouldn’t..” is a common censoring mechanism with these people. They feel they shouldn’t want too much. When they express egotism of any form, some part of them feels guilty. As the Sun rules our conscious mind, it does enough censoring on its own. It is the “adult” within us. Saturn, on the other hand, is more like the “parent” within us. We need parents to guide us when we are children, and to some degree as adults, but for the most part, we don’t need to be censored indefinitely–something that seems to be the case with Saturn-Sun hard aspects, except that the censoring and parenting is coming from within.Ideally, these people eventually learn that the standards they set for themselves are too high, and that may be the reason they seem to hit brick walls. They recognize that many of the restrictions they face in life are often self-created, born of a defeatist attitude. They should be aware of the tendency to choose the hardest paths to travel and/or to deny themselves some of life’s pleasures. Working on recognizing and managing these tendencies will help them to avoid the pitfalls of this combination. These people have a sarcastic sense of humor, a keen intelligence, and the ability to apply caution and strategy. The vitality may suffer, and troubles with the bones, teeth, and circulation may surface.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Harry Belafonte, Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Salvador Dali, Marilyn Manson, Oprah Winfrey, Salvador Dali, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Alec Guiness. Oppositions – Jim Morrison, Charlie Sheen, Kurt Russell.

Mercury

Mercury Trine Uranus

Your thinking today is ingenious, original, clever, sharp, and magnetic. Electricity is in your head and probably the rest of your body. You are full of nervous energy, but it is the type that can help you accomplish more. New and exciting opportunities may come about today through travel, conversations with others, or through new reading material. Go exploring.You are open to new ideas, and come up with your own fair share of unique perspectives yourself. You have a technical bent and might take special interest in computers, technology, and science. Your intuition is very strong and mostly leads you in the right direction. You have a friendly, tolerant, and unprejudiced manner. You avoid making unfair judgments, being hypocritical, or stereotyping. You are very truthful and abhor modes of thinking that are biased and narrow. You are resourceful, witty, and quick to grasp and understand new subjects. Your thinking is often quite naturally outside of the box and very quick, and it can be baffling to you when you observe others who don’t get to the same conclusions as you in half the time. Still, you require much space and freedom to do your own thinking, and you don’t take kindly to anyone trying to force-feed you information or opinions. You are at your mental best and most cooperative when you have had the chance to find your own inspiration, and you easily feel hypocritical if you don’t–a feeling that doesn’t sit well with you one bit.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 Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Lawrence Welk, John Steinbeck, Donald Sutherland, Erik Satie, Martin Sheen; Trines – Sheena Easton, Farrah Fawcett, Tracey Ullman, Marilyn Manson

Venus

Venus Square Jupiter

You will probably overindulge yourself today, with regrets later. This is true both with eating and spending. A distinct laziness may overcome you and you will want to be pampered. Self-discipline is needed in order to avoid trouble now or later. Others may think you are too spoiled. Don't procrastinate.These people are big-hearted and warm, with open hearts and a tendency to want to give a lot to the people they love. They can have some problems with following through on their promises, however–not because of any ill intent, but because they sometimes overestimate their personal capabilities, and want to do more, and give more, than is actually possible. At distinct times in their lives, they have a tendency to live beyond their means. They need to be cautious about the tendency to feel overly-optimistic or overly protected. Borrowing from their future and overdoing their indulgence in pleasures is a marked tendency. While people with the conjunction, sextile, or trine between Venus and Jupiter express their bigheartedness, tolerance, generosity, and magnanimity in a generally constant and natural manner, these same expressions for those people with the square, opposition, and quincunx between these planets tend to be problematic at times. Their need for growth, good humor, and fun in their relationships is marked, as is their disdain for insincerity. However, they may attract just those kinds of people simply because they are looking so hard for these traits that they assign them onto undeserving people!Moderation is the most important, and perhaps challenging, lesson in these people’s lives.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report — Your sense of form and harmony extend into the important relationships of your life. You seek a strong philosophical connection to match the physical passion. Faithfulness is a key factor if your relationship is to support your spiritual growth, and trust has to work both ways in the partnership.Some Famous People with the Venus in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Jason Alexander, Pearl Buck, Julia Child, Joe Cocker, Sean Connery, Alice Cooper, Billy Corgan, e.e. Cummings, John Denver, Michael J. Fox, Andy Gibb, Linda Goodman, Jim Jones, Jessica Lange, David Lynch, Dolly Parton, Tom Paxton, Robert Redford, Lynn Redgrave, Oral Roberts, Maria Shriver, Britney Spears, Tina Turner, Jon Voight, Betty White; Oppositions – Drew Carey, Billy Ray Cyprus, Victor Hugo, Quincy Jones, Tom Selleck, Cat Stevens.

Mars

Mars Opposite Neptune

Your relationships with people today may involve the quality of deception. Either you are not being honest with them or they are not being honest with you. Be careful of people who come to you with hard luck stories and ask for your help. They may really need your help or they may just be trying to scam you. Use discrimination. Not everyone who asks for help deserves your help. It may be better to let them help themselves. Knowing the difference is one of the most difficult things to learn. Certainly do nothing today that isn't entirely above board or you will pay for it dearly later on. Honesty is the best policy. Misunderstandings can occur so mirror back to others what you understand them to have said and see if they agree with your interpretation. You may feel more sensitive today than usual. Don't feel bad if your ego feels bruised. Things may not be as they appear.This is a challenging position, as you have difficulty trusting in your ability to go after things that you want in a direct manner. It may also be that you have difficulty pinpointing what it is that you want, or that part of you doesn’t feel you deserve it due to a basic lack of self-confidence. You fear rejection as well as criticism, and often use roundabout means to go after what you want.Your imagination is so powerful that it can be hard to trust your instincts. You easily imagine things going wrong, just as you easily fantasize about good things! Your desire nature is strong yet also very suggestible. You’re attracted to mysteries and intrigue. Sexual experimentation is likely, as you are forever addicted to sensuality and unusual or perhaps even what many would consider perverted sexual scenarios. However, your sensual appetite might be much like a bottomless pit, and you could find yourself forever in a state of wanting more, tiring of regular sexual scenarios quickly, and endlessly searching for the next sensation. If an addiction to fantasy is present, you can find yourself constantly chasing a new and more complicated fantasy. It is only when you get into touch with your heart and discover your true desires that you realize that sensations are merely sensations–not deeply satisfying or fulfilling.Fears of sexual inadequacy can be great with this position, and you may either deny yourself as a result, or overcompensate, seeking out experiences in which you are pretty much assured positive feedback. Some of you will experience both of these extremes in your lifetime. I have a client with this position who has a “trophy” wife, and she often denies him, and even belittles him, on a sexual level. He accepts this but “gets her back” behind her back, having serial affairs with women who are not considered as attractive for whatever reason and with whom he attempts to reclaim his power.One of the interesting things about this position is that if you are involved in immoral activities, guilt has a way of cropping up in unusual ways, and could lead you on a self-destructive path–and you might even know that you’re heading that way, yet you compulsively follow that path. Part of you might want to get caught! You might, for example, know in your mind that doing something is risky, yet you compulsively do it anyhow, perhaps even finding the challenge invigorating.Although you can be very creative at keeping your motives and personal agenda hidden–in fact, many of you seem on the surface of things to be quite gentle and yielding–you might eventually become resentful if you feel the need to resort to sneakiness in order to get what you want out of life. This is one of the things that has struck me as the most common characteristics of Mars-Neptune people. It’s not that they don’t get angry or show that anger. However, many will give in to another’s desires more often than not, yet become resentful of that person who seems to have control over them. Some will give up their power to a partner, for example, often taking the role as the one who gives in or gives up things in order to make the other happy. However, resentment for this builds, and while people with harmonious Mars-Neptune aspects more easily yield to others without anger for doing so, those with hard Mars-Neptune aspects are more likely to feel stepped upon, and to retaliate in covert ways. If you do feel resentment for giving up your power to someone else, learn to avoid giving it up unless you truly understand that you are doing it for yourself, and not for someone else. Resentments have a way of building and distorting themselves into ugly matter if you don’t deal with them properly and directly. You are often passive-aggressive in your approach to others, and this can cause a lot of problems in your life.You are usually found chasing a dream… or a fantasy. The former is probably the better path.Somehow, others are bound to eventually sense that you are not to be trusted, and this is often for good reason! You may not like to admit this to yourself, as you may have built excuses for your deceptive or sneaky behavior. However, adopting a more direct and assertive approach to life is something that you should be working towards. You will need to get over your feelings of guilt when you do adopt this approach. Learning to take responsibility for your actions, and to avoid blaming others for failures, is important.At your worst, you can be disorganized in your approach to life, easily procrastinating and lacking follow-through when you do begin a task. Some of the most important lessons you need to learn in life are self-control, self-assertion, and trust in yourself. At your best, you are a creative person with a powerful imagination and great stores of compassion.Some Famous People with the Mars in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Ben Affleck, James Barber, Erma Bombeck, Jimmy Buffet, Barbara Bush, Sandra Dee, Melissa Etheridge, Eddie Fisher, Jodie Foster, Conan O’Brien, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, Andy Warhol, Sharon Tate.

Mars

Mars Trine Pluto

Your high energy and sheer force of will can be used today to help others accomplish much. Do something today for the good of society. Your actions today can be an inspiration to others, so get out there and get involved. You will find that others want you to succeed so help them as you help yourself.You are committed, determined, and passionate. For you, it’s all or nothing, and you are baffled by, and possibly impatient with, others who do things only halfway or half-heartedly. You are usually quite decisive, and often unwavering once committed. You are certainly a passionate person and you possess a fascinating and commanding aura. You are generally confident about your own talents. You employ strategy when you are going after something, and you are very talented at this, saving time and energy. While you are perfectly capable of outwitting others as a natural psychologist, whether you take advantage of this skill or not depends much on the rest of your natal chart.You’re naturally very resourceful and usually quite persistent when pursuing a goal. You are a wonderful person to be around when there’s a crisis. Very little fazes you, and you’re especially effective when circumstances call for a leader.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 Mars and Pluto have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate, short interpretations: Mars sextile Pluto or Mars trine Pluto: *You dream up creative solutions to problems and take an imaginative, unusual approach to getting a job done. When difficulties arise you prefer to avoid conflict and confrontation in favor of more peaceful or subtle methods of resolving problems. Working to help others or for a cause that transcends your own narrow, personal interests is satisfying for you.
