Moon Is In Capricorn

"Beep, boop, beep! Greetings cosmic voyagers! The Moon in Capricorn is calling and it's time to check our astrological coordinates. Currently, our silvery satellite is chilling at approximately 362,706.784330796km away. No need for a light-year tape measure, trust me on the calculations, I do have a doctorate in astro-physics from the University of Intergalactic Shenanigans! So, what does this mean for you, my celestial friends? As our lunar pal hunkers down in the sign of the ambitious Capricorn, get ready to feel a gravitational pull towards responsibility and order. That laundry pile that's started to resemble the mountainous terrain of Tatooine? Time to tackle it! Yes, even your socks that have mysteriously multiplied like Tribbles. Remember, the Moon in Capricorn is all about discipline and structure. It's like Yoda for your life: small but mighty with loads of wisdom to share. But don't get too comfortable in your Jedi robes, because in the next 24 hours, the moon will be packing its bags and heading for Aquarius faster than Han Solo making the Kessel Run. Anticipate a shift in energy as we enter the rebellious and innovative realm of Aquarius. So, you might just find yourself ditching the light saber for a sonic screwdriver, ready to invent new ways of doing things. Embrace it! The universe, like Doctor Who's TARDIS, is bigger on the inside, full of endless possibilities. To sum up, beep-beep-boop, my dear stargazers! Remember to keep one eye on the stars, one hand on your lightsaber, and both feet on the ground. May the force (and the forecast) be with you!"

Mercury

Mercury is in Virgo

Mercury is retrograde at 20 Vir 53' 46", moving backwards at 0.44 degrees per day, and is 98359191km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Virgo

Ahoy, cosmic voyagers! So, Mercury, that fast-talking planet that's always got something to say, has decided to kick back in Virgo for a bit. Now, science tells us that this is just a planetary alignment, but we know better, don't we? It's like when you put your favorite recliner near the window. You change. Suddenly, you're contemplating the mysteries of the universe and why cats always land on their feet. So, what's this Mercury-in-Virgo thing all about, you ask? It's like getting a new operating system for your brain. You're suddenly able to sort through the cosmic clutter, cut out the fluff, and get straight to the heart of matters. It's like you've been given a cosmic scalpel to slice through the baloney sandwich of life. And productivity? My stars, you're going to be knocking tasks off your to-do list faster than a quantum particle can zip through a wormhole. You'll be so focused, you might even forget to eat, or shower, or remember what sunlight looks like. But hey, who needs those things when there's progress to be made, right? But here's a word of caution, stargazers: With all this discernment and focus, it's easy to fall into the trap of being hyper-critical. Remember, nobody likes a nitpicker. So, while you're busy analyzing and critiquing every little thing, don't forget to show a little kindness, too. We're all just floating on this blue marble together, trying to figure out why socks disappear in the laundry and why pizza is so darn delicious. So, as Mercury hangs out in Virgo, let's use this time to make some real progress, speak our truth clearly, and remember to sprinkle a little love and understanding into our conversations. After all, we're all just stardust having a human experience. Or is it humans having a stardust experience? Ah, well, you get the point. Happy stargazing!

Venus

Venus is retrograde at 13 Leo 07' 38", moving backwards at 0.27 degrees per day, and is 47639175km away and receding.

Venus Is In Leo

Venus in Leo: The Star of the Zodiac Show

Alright folks, buckle up your asteroids because Venus just swaggered into the Leo party. Now, Venus is usually quite the charmer, but in Leo? She's like that eccentric aunt who brings life to family reunions with wild stories and her infectious laughter. She's here to paint the town red (or rainbow, Leo isn't picky about colors), so get ready for a cosmic rollercoaster of emotions.

When Venus is in Leo, love isn't just whispered sweet nothings, it's shouted off rooftops, written in skywriting and maybe even tattooed on forearms. Subtle? Not in this planetary alignment, my friends! You better be prepared to not just like or appreciate, but to adore. And I'm not talking about a polite golf clap kind of adoration, we're talking standing ovation, superfan levels of adoration here. If you're not ready to roll the dice of love, well, you might find yourself watching from the sidelines, clutching your horoscope and lamenting missed opportunities.

Now, let's talk drama. Leo's got it in spades, and Venus isn't afraid to play along. If you're not feeling like the star of your own rom-com during this transit, you might end up throwing a tantrum worthy of a soap opera diva. Remember, we're all stars in the grand cosmic play, so try to share the spotlight, will ya?

And let's not forget about money. When Venus is in Leo, you're spending it not just to satisfy needs, but to make yourself feel like a million bucks. Or maybe even a billion, with Leo's lavish tastes. But remember, Leo's also got a heart as big as a star, so spend some of that hard-earned cash on those you care about too. Because what's the point of feeling like a million bucks if you can't make others feel the same?

To sum it up, Venus in Leo is like a cosmic Mardi Gras - colorful, vibrant, and a bit over the top. So, let's embrace the fun and excitement, because without it, life would be as dull as a black hole. And remember, in the immortal words of Carl Sagan, "We're all made of star stuff," so shine on, you crazy diamonds!

Mars

Mars is in Libra

Mars is prograde at 00 Lib 27' 14", moving at 0.64 degrees per day, and is 370566731km away and receding.

Mars Is In Libra

Greetings, star gazers and cosmic voyagers! Buckle up your asteroid belts, we're taking a trip to the intergalactic relationship counselling centre, also known as Mars in Libra. So, our fiery friend Mars, typically the action hero of the celestial sphere, finds itself chilling out in the diplomatic Libran lounge. Now, instead of charging headfirst into battle like a sci-fi warrior with a laser sword, Mars is more like a thoughtful hippie, strumming a guitar, and singing songs of peace and love. Imagine Mars, all decked out in its Martian armor, trying to balance on one of those fancy Libran scales - hilarious sight, right? But that's what we're dealing with here. It's time for Mars to swap its usual 'Hulk smash' approach for a more 'let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya' vibe. With Mars lounging in Libra, we're more focused on creating pleasant relationships than proving who's got the biggest spaceship. We're all about peace, love, and harmony, folks. However, beware! This doesn't mean you can just sweep your problems under the cosmic rug like some pesky stardust. Trust me, it won't turn into a black hole and disappear. Instead, this is the perfect time to use your newly found diplomatic skills to discuss those tricky subjects. No need for phaser guns, just a soothing cup of chamomile tea and a heartfelt conversation. You'll find that seeking balance is less like walking a tightrope across a neutron star and more like a gentle stroll through an alien flower field. But don't think Libra is all about sipping space lattes and playing nice. Oh no, when it comes to justice and fairness, Libra is ready to go full-on Jedi knight. So, if there's a cause you believe in, now is the time to stand up and fight, but remember – no lightsaber duels, okay? One small downside folks, you might find yourself stuck in a state of cosmic 'umm-ing' and 'ahh-ing'. Mars wants to blast off, while Libra wants to triple-check the star maps. The solution? Act with love, intention, and fairness. Make the right moves, not just fast ones. Because sometimes, the slow route through the cosmos is the most enlightening. So, whether you're navigating the complicated orbits of personal relationships or standing up for intergalactic justice, remember to keep your cool, channel

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 15 Tau 29' 35", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 679147584km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Rotund Jupiter Takes a Stroll Through Taurus

Well, stargazers, put on your cosmic cowboy boots because Jupiter, that big ol' cosmic tumbleweed, has huffed and puffed its way into Taurus... and it's ready to kick up some interstellar dirt. Picture Neo from The Matrix if he decided to ditch the trench coat for a flannel shirt and a pair of Wranglers. Now that's an image.

Jupiter, the celestial guru of wisdom, is cozying up with Taurus, the zodiac's most stubbornly immovable force. This is like Yoda deciding to take a power nap on a tortoise – it's slow-going, but there's a whole lot of wisdom going on. It's a gentle reminder that we don't always need to be rushing towards enlightenment at warp speed. Sometimes, the wisdom is just chilling in our back pockets, waiting for us to sit down and realise it's been there all along.

Here's an opportunity for us to trade in our hoverboards for good old-fashioned hiking boots and make some 'real world' progress towards our dreams. Jupiter's thirst for growth and Taurus' stoic persistence will help us to tick off those bucket list items one by one. It's like having your own personal cheer squad made up of a gas giant planet and a celestial bull. Talk about motivation!

With Jupiter in Taurus, life could become as prosperous as Scrooge McDuck's vault. After all, Jupiter's got the Midas touch and Taurus knows a thing or two about wealth. Just keep in mind that Taurus also has a PhD in overindulgence. When Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meets Taurus, the sign of 'more is more', we might end up confusing our needs with our wants. So, try not to go wild in the cosmic candy store, okay?

So, while Jupiter is doing the cosmic two-step in Taurus, remember to harness the wisdom, embrace the pace, tick off those goals, and try not to break the intergalactic bank. And, as always, keep reaching for the stars – they're only about 679229582.820428252km away.

Space Alert: Saturn's Gone Fishing in Pisces

Alright, folks, it's time to buckle up and put those thinking caps on because Saturn, our celestial taskmaster, appears to have taken a detour into the cosmic fish tank we call Pisces. Now, don't go reaching for your panic button just yet. Let's try and make some sense out of this space oddity.

First off, as our favorite ringed planet goes skinny-dipping in the nebulous waters of Pisces, it's whispering – no, shouting – one word into our cosmic ears: introspection. So, if you've been fantasizing about penning that novel or launching that startup, now's the time to stop daydreaming and start doing. Get out your notepads, folks – Saturn in Pisces is about to turn into your personal life coach!

Now, I'm not saying Saturn's transit through Pisces is going to be as smooth as a fresh jar of Skippy! If you've got any dreams you've been keeping under lock and key, Saturn might just kick down the door and demand an explanation. It might feel like a cosmic invasion of privacy, but remember, Saturn is like that strict dad who just wants the best for you. So, swallow your pride, open the door, and listen up. He might just have some precious pearls of wisdom to share.

And let's not forget, folks, Pisces is the realm of sleep and dreams - a territory that could leave us feeling as restless as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. So, try to keep calm and carry on. Meditate, take a leisurely stroll through the park, practice deep breathing, or even sneak in an afternoon siesta (with a handy dream journal by your side, of course!). Remember, maintaining a peaceful mind is the key to unlocking the cosmic wisdom Saturn in Pisces has to offer.

So there you have it, space cadets. Saturn has gone fishing in Pisces. Let's embrace the energy of this transit, and who knows? We might just reel in the big one.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 23 Tau 04' 30", moving at 0 degrees per day, and is 2902861358km away and approaching.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Alrighty, stargazers, buckle up! Uranus, that cosmic rebel, is currently bull-riding in Taurus, a sign that's about as fond of sudden change as a cat is of water. That's like throwing a techno party in the library or trying to install Windows on a toaster. But guess what? It's happening, and we're all on this interstellar rodeo whether we like it or not. So, you might ask, what's the deal with Uranus in Taurus? Well, imagine a bull. Now, imagine it in an antique shop. Yeah, that's Uranus in Taurus for ya. Taurus, bless its stubborn little heart, loves stability. It's a bit like your grandpa who still uses a flip phone. But Uranus? It's the punk kid who just bought the latest iPhone. And now they're sharing a room. Fun times! Now, Taurus has a thing for money. It's like Scrooge McDuck, swimming in coins. But with Uranus crashing the party, expect some serious cosmic Kickstarter campaign to revolutionize the way we handle our dough. We're talking new currencies, seismic shifts in banking, and a Wall Street rollercoaster wilder than a Joss Whedon plot twist. On the home front, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo. It urges us to break free from the chains of materialism and financial hang-ups. Debts, taxes, credit card interest – all those fun adulting things. The goal? To change our relationship with money faster than you can say "quantum physics". So, here’s the skinny: Uranus is here to liberate us. It's like that friend who drags you to a karaoke bar on a Tuesday night. You may resist, but by the end of the night, you're belting out "Don't Stop Believin'" and having the time of your life. So, trust the process. Even if it feels like you're dancing in zero gravity right now, the changes will lead to a more stable orbit. And remember, it’s not rocket science...well, actually it kinda is.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 26 Pis 51' 57", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4333689576km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings, interstellar explorers and Earth-bound stargazers! Captain Astrologer here with a message from the depths of the cosmos, where the mysteries of the universe unravel like a well-loved sweater left on the radiator too long. Shields up! We're venturing into the watery realm of Pisces where Neptune, our solar system's own cosmic hippie, is currently chillaxing. Now, don't panic! I know Neptune is retrograde, which might have you thinking your emotional compass is going to start spinning like a possessed fidget spinner, but fear not! You see, in this celestial dance, Neptune in Pisces is like Spock attending a Vulcan meditation retreat. It's in its element, folks - we're talking about a planet of dreams and illusions diving deep into the sign of spirituality and intuition. So, what does this mean for you, dear star traveler? Well, it's sort of like being given a pair of X-ray specs that let you peer through the foggy illusions of life to see the inner workings of the universe. Cool, right? Suddenly, those petty differences between us that are as numerous and annoying as tribbles start to seem about as significant as a replicator malfunction. And in their place, the golden glow of unity shines brighter than the warp core on a Friday night. This cosmic event is essentially issuing a galaxy-wide invitation to explore our emotional intelligence – kind of like a Starfleet entrance exam, but with more self-discovery and less worrying about being eaten by a holographic monster. It’s the perfect time to warp speed into spiritual growth, be it Jedi training, Vulcan mind-melding, or simply setting up a sacred space in your quarters to connect with the universe. Picture it as your personal Holodeck for spiritual exploration. Neptune in Pisces is also giving us a gentle nudge (or a tractor beam pull, if you will) to share these newfound insights with the world. So, boldly go forth, dear stargazers, and distribute your wisdom like free Romulan ale at a Starfleet convention. Remember, with Neptune supporting us in this process, we can all make it so. Until next time, keep your phasers set to stunning and your hearts open to the cosmos.

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is retrograde at 28 Cap 18' 55", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5089418366km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Alright, my celestial confidants, buckle up because we're going on an interstellar joyride! We're gonna talk about Pluto in Capricorn - yes, that's right. Our favorite underdog planet (which will always be a planet in my heart, regardless of what those stuffed-shirt scientists say!) has sidled its way into the realm of the ambitious goat. Now, Pluto and Capricorn are like that one power couple you just can't ignore - you know, the one that's always posting perfectly posed selfies from their latest mountain climbing adventure or business launch party. They're all about success, power, and getting things done. But beware, my friends - their ambition can sometimes blind them to the needs and feelings of others. It's like they're wearing space helmets that only let them see their own reflections! Pluto, that celestial bad boy, is also urging us to eliminate our negative patterns. Think of it like spring cleaning for your soul. But remember: this isn't just about throwing stuff out; it's about creating space for something new and better. So, before you go all "Darth Vader" on your old habits, make sure you have a plan for what you'll put in their place. Oh, and did I mention Pluto is retrograde? Yes, our distant friend is moonwalking across the sky, which might stir up some things from the past. Don't panic though; just think of it as finding an old mixtape. You might cringe at some of the tracks, but there could also be some forgotten gems in there! So, my fellow stargazers, let's embrace this cosmic journey with some good old-fashioned patience and introspection. And remember, even when the stars are a bit demanding, they're still rooting for us to shine.

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.
