30 October, 2023


Solar activity was at low levels with 7 C-class events at the time of this writing. All were attributed to Region 3474 (S17E12, Dai/BG), with the largest being a C7.8 at 29/1309 UTC. Region 3474 grew rapidly and flux emerged in the leader. Region 3472 (N20E01, Bxo/B) also grew in extent and magnetic field strength. The other regions were generally weakening or decaying. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!

The solar wind remained in the positive sector and speed rose through the period from 550 to 650 km/s before decreasing to near 600 km/s where it remained. Bz was southward for the bulk of the 24 hour period. This, combined with relatively higher temperatures and lower densities suggests fast stream emanating from coronal hole 66 is geoeffective.

There is a 30% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 20% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.


The waning moon is currently in Taurus, at 24 degrees, 58' 13", at a velocity of 13.79 degrees per day.

The Full moon is currently 16.3 days old. It is 380379.27 km from the centre of the Earth.

The next new moon is at 9:27:15, 13 Nov, 2023. The next full moon is at 9:16:41, 27 Nov, 2023.

Moon Is In Taurus

Great Scott! The moon is currently taking a celestial siesta in the steadfast pastures of Taurus, and it's closer to us than your Aunt Mildred at a buffet line - about 375,407.086050587 kilometers away, if you want to get technical. But don't get too attached, just like my DeLorean, it's not staying put! In this current cosmic configuration, expect to feel as rooted as a 200-year-old oak tree, but with the hunger cravings of a time-traveling teenager. You'll have urges for both comfort food and stability (Taurus' home turf), so don't be surprised if you find yourself eating a triple cheeseburger while balancing your checkbook. But here's where things get heavy: in the next 24 hours, that Moon is zooming off to Gemini faster than you can say "flux capacitor". This will shift the energy from comfort and stability to communication and curiosity. One moment you're enjoying a serene picnic, the next you're hosting a high-energy debate on whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Just remember, in the immortal words of yours truly, Doctor Emmet Brown, "Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one." Time to buckle up, folks, because when the moon hits Gemini, we're going to see some serious... stuff!

Mercury in Scorpio: The Cosmic Detective

Alright, star gazers, hide your secrets and hold onto your hats because Mercury is currently sashaying through Scorpio like a noir detective with a PhD in Quantum Physics. You see, dear Scorpio is the Sherlock Holmes of the zodiac – it thrives in the realm of mysteries, hidden truths, and those "I shouldn't have sent that text at 2 am" moments.

With Mercury moonwalking through Scorpio, we all become cosmic Columbos, probing, asking the awkward questions at dinner parties, and turning over rocks to see what's squirming underneath. Just remember, you can't unsee certain things and not everyone appreciates their emotional laundry being aired out, so discretion is advised.

Now, don't be alarmed if you start feeling like a conspiracy theorist during this transit. It's just that Mercury in Scorpio has a knack for making us all a smidge more suspicious than usual. It's like we've all suddenly developed psychic spidey-senses, suspecting ulterior motives and sniffing out subterfuge. But hey, all this paranoia isn't for naught. It’s really about decluttering our mental closets, making space for what truly serves us and bidding adieu to what doesn’t.

Here's a word of caution though. If you push too hard to reveal the truth (Scorpio's influence can get a bit intense), you might end up in a sticky web of mistrust and hurt feelings. Balance, my friends, is key. That said, Mercury in Scorpio also carries the potential for deep bonding. By diving headfirst into difficult conversations, we could come out on the other side with stronger connections. Think of it as emotional spelunking.

So, buckle up, cosmic detectives. It's time to uncover some truths, challenge our fears, and maybe even solve the mystery of why socks always disappear in the laundry. Happy sleuthing!

Venus

Venus is in Virgo

Venus is prograde at 20 Vir 16' 41", moving at 1.04 degrees per day, and is 110945928km away and receding.

Venus Is In Virgo

Greetings, celestial seekers! Buckle up your spacecrafts and don your lab coats because Venus has just clocked in at Virgo. Now, if you're expecting some steamy interplanetary romance, hold on to your telescopes! Venus in Virgo is more of a "let's analyze this relationship under a microscope" than a "let's run off to the next galaxy together." Feel that itch for perfection creeping in? That's Venus in Virgo turning you into a love scientist. It's time to put on your safety goggles and conduct some serious relationship experiments. Do you deserve more from your partner? Is your relationship as balanced as the forces of gravity? Or are you single and spotting potential love interests like a pro astronomer spotting a new galaxy? Just remember, folks, even the brightest stars can have some red flags! Now, I know what you're thinking - "Why am I suddenly so critical?" Well, that's Venus in Virgo making us all a little bit nitpicky. It's not about being a cosmic killjoy, it's about improving our love life with some constructive dialogue. You know, like having a meeting about your relationship's mission statement or discussing your five-year plan for emotional growth. Remember, pointing out faults without offering solutions is like trying to fix a black hole with duct tape - it just won't work! I understand if all this talk of analysis and perfection may not sound as exciting as an alien invasion, but trust me, Venus in Virgo can still be passionate. Virgo, after all, is an Earth sign, so it appreciates the good stuff - food, art, nature, people, and yes, even the magic that happens between the interstellar sheets. But remember, Venus in Virgo is conservative. So, don't expect any quick cosmic flings. This is more of a "let's admire constellations while discussing quantum physics" kind of passion. So, folks, as Venus orbits in Virgo, let's embrace the energy to improve our relationships. And who knows? You might just find that your love life, like the universe itself, is expanding in ways you never expected!

Mars

Mars is in Scorpio

Mars is prograde at 12 Sco 21' 32", moving at 0.69 degrees per day, and is 380894487km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Scorpio

Hello Cosmic Comrades! First off, let's get this out of the way. Mars has just slipped into Scorpio like a nerd slipping into his favorite comic book convention. Oh, you didn't know? Mars is a total geek for Scorpio. It's like its favorite role-playing game. So buckle up, because it's about to get real... freaking real. Mars in Scorpio, folks, it's like giving a caffeinated squirrel a nuclear-powered jetpack. It's ambitious, it's driven and it has absolutely no chill. Is it interested in what anyone else has to say? About as interested as a cat in a quantum physics lecture. Now, don't panic, but during this time, you might feel like you're the captain of your own starship. And not just any starship, but the USS Unstoppable, with thrusters set to maximum and shields at full power. Anyone tries to control you during this time, they better have a red shirt on, because things aren't going to end well. Our willpower during this phase is about as subtle as a meteor crashing into a moon. We're not afraid to venture into the darker recesses of our psyche, like a Trekkie exploring the depths of fan fiction. This is where we thrive, where we find gems of insights that can set the stage for our personal transformation. But here's the rub, my stargazing friends. Fiery Mars in watery Scorpio can sometimes make us as aggressive as a Klingon at a peace treaty signing. Conflicts may drag on like a Star Wars prequel, and relationships could erode faster than Luke's faith in his father. The trick is to choose wisely which walls we want to photon torpedo. On the bright side, we can channel this energy into projects, like rebuilding the Death Star or maybe something less destructive. In essence, Mars in Scorpio is like a spiritual boot camp, minus the early mornings and plus the cosmic energy. It's all about power, courage, discipline, and willpower. So let's rise above the shadows, leave the revenge plots to the Sith Lords, and forgive like Yoda would. Because remember, the force is strong with this one, and that 'one' is you!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is retrograde at 11 Tau 02' 38", moving backwards at 0.14 degrees per day, and is 595911376km away and approaching.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Comedy Show

Alright folks, it's time to dust off those meditation cushions and wake up your inner sage, because Jupiter, the cosmic professor, is getting cozy in Taurus, the zodiac's equivalent of a tranquilized elephant. Talk about a true "mind over mattress" scenario! This planetary combo is like trying to teach quantum physics to a rock - it's challenging but not impossible. It's time to find that inner wisdom that's been snoozing at the back of your mind, probably tucked between last year's tax return and the lyrics of "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Ever thought of making a to-do list that stretches further than your next coffee break? Now's your chance! Jupiter, the planet of 'go big or go home', is teaming up with Taurus, the stubborn bull who probably invented the phrase 'slow and steady wins the race'. Together they are like the dream team of productivity - kind of like if Einstein and the Tortoise from that fable had a baby. It's time to strategize, buckle down, and start crossing off your goals like they're groceries on your shopping list.

Now, when Jupiter and Taurus get together, they become the Wall Street of the cosmos. Jupiter is like your lucky lottery ticket while Taurus is the piggy bank. This could mean a serious cash influx, folks. But remember, just because Jupiter increases your wealth doesn't mean you should spend it all on avocado toast and artisanal coffee.

With Jupiter in Taurus, we need to be wary of overindulgence. Taurus loves the finer things in life - think a bull in a china shop filled with truffles and silk cushions. When this pleasure-seeking sign meets Jupiter, the king of excess, it can lead to some serious self-indulgence. So, while it's okay to treat yourself, remember that "treat yo self" doesn't mean "eat yo self into a food coma". Stay mindful and enjoy the journey!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is retrograde at 00 Pis 32' 07", moving backwards at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 1392742567km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Ah, Saturn in Pisces! It's like hosting a very disciplined monk in your dilapidated treehouse. Sure, he's got great wisdom to share, but he's also going to question why you've been storing all those empty pizza boxes and why there's a squirrel named Gerald living in the corner. While Saturn, the taskmaster of the cosmos, might be more at home in a boardroom than a bohemian bungalow, its current couch-surfing session in the dreamy realm of Pisces is the perfect astral alignment for some heavy-duty introspection. And by heavy-duty, I mean taking that vague daydream of opening a unicycle repair shop or writing a trilogy about sentient broccoli and turning it into an actionable plan. However, don't expect this process to be as smooth as a fresh jar of organic almond butter. Saturn isn't known as the cosmic disciplinarian for nothing. It's going to poke and prod at those precious daydreams of yours, asking all sorts of uncomfortable questions. But remember this: It's not doing it to be mean, it's doing it because it cares. Like a celestial Marie Kondo, it wants to help you de-clutter your dreams and focus on what truly brings you joy... and will also actually work. Now, with all this mental housecleaning and dream-organizing going on, sleeping might be a bit tricky. You may find yourself tossing and turning, dreaming of spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. Don't freak out, this is completely normal. Just try some calming activities like star-gazing, silent disco dancing, or feeding Gerald the squirrel. Remember, this transit is an opportunity, not a demand. So take a deep breath, grab a notebook, and get ready to take notes - because Saturn is about to drop some serious interstellar knowledge bombs. And who knows, you might just end up with a best-selling trilogy about Gerald's adventures in your treehouse! So here's to Saturn in Pisces, where cosmic discipline meets dreamy disarray. It's going to be one heck of a ride, but I promise you this: It'll be worth it.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is retrograde at 21 Tau 39' 15", moving backwards at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 2791910650km away and approaching.

Uranus In Taurus: A Cosmic Comedy

Alright, folks, buckle up, because our ol' buddy Uranus just parked itself in Taurus and it's looking to stir up some earthy chaos. Now, I know, Taurus, you're just minding your business, making your spreadsheets, watering your little bonsai tree, but Universe has other plans. And yes, we've all heard Uranus jokes before, but trust me, this is no laughing matter, unless you count nervous laughter, which I'm doing a lot of right now.

Uranus is that friend who shows up unannounced, tells you to put on your fanciest pants and then drags you to a surprise party where everyone's speaking a foreign language. It's strange, uncomfortable, but eventually, you get a bit tipsy, start dancing, and realize it's not so bad. That's what this change is about! It's about shaking up that stubborn old bull and saying "Hey, there are other ways to do things!"

And Uranus isn’t just pulling the rug from under your feet, it’s also giving your pocket a shake. Expect revolutionary changes in money handling. If you thought cryptocurrency was confusing, just wait! You might wake up one day to find out we've switched to trading in space pebbles. Who knows? Uranus does love a good surprise.

But hey, don't panic. All these changes, as wild as they may be, are for a reason. Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to reevaluate our relationship with the material world. Do you really need that 10-year-old collection of movie tickets, or can you let it go? It’s high time we broke free from the shackles of that credit card bill haunting us like the ghost of Christmas past.

Remember, Uranus is not here to torment you, but to liberate you! It's like a cosmic chiropractor – the adjustment might be uncomfortable, but it's all for the better. So take a deep breath, hold on tight and let Uranus do its thing. You might just find yourself in a much better place when it’s all said and done.

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 15' 46", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4361123596km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Great Scott! Strap on your flux capacitors, folks, because Neptune is in Pisces! Now I know some of you might be thinking "What on Earth does that mean?" Well, let me tell you - or rather, let me tell you what it means off Earth. Neptune, that icy giant, a mere 4,361,078,100.242090225km away (don't worry, I've checked my calculations thrice), is currently doing the cosmic backstroke - retrograde, indeed! Now, with Neptune in Pisces, we're entering a realm that’s as foggy as one of Marty McFly's time jumps, only this time there's no DeLorean to guide us. But fear not, my fellow star gazers! As the spiritual essence of Pisces merges with Neptune's cosmic pull, like a particle accelerator smashing atoms together, we're granted a new form of vision. It's like the universe has handed us its own version of Doc's futuristic binoculars, only instead of seeing Biff's goons coming, we're getting a clear look at our own contradictions. Suddenly, the pettiest of differences seem as insignificant as a 1.21 gigawatt lightning strike without a flux capacitor. The path to unity is lit up like the Hill Valley clock tower at precisely 10:04 PM. This celestial transit is sending a Morse code through the cosmos, urging us to consider our individual roles in the collective. We all have something to contribute - a dream, an idea, a peculiar invention. Neptune in Pisces is like a celestial conference call, inviting us to explore our emotional intelligence and identify our unique offerings. Now might just be the perfect time to take that course in quantum spirituality, or maybe build your very own sacred space at home, kind of like my lab, but less... explody. Neptune in Pisces wants us to not only discover these spiritual innovations but to share them, much like we shared the secret of time travel with Marty. So, remember folks, just as the DeLorean needs 88mph to break through time, we need Neptune in Pisces to break through our self-imposed limitations. Now get out there and make like a tree... and grow!

Pluto

Pluto is in Capricorn

Pluto is prograde at 27 Cap 58' 55", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 5238121490km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Capricorn

Alright, stargazers, strap on your celestial seatbelts cause we're setting the astrological GPS for about 5.24 billion kilometers away from the norm. Why? Because Pluto, that puny planet that's been playing cosmic ping-pong with its planet status (thanks, science), is hanging out in Capricorn. Now, imagine Pluto and Capricorn at a party. They're the ones in the corner, talking about climbing corporate ladders and world domination while munching on gluten-free, organic, non-GMO kale chips. They're not there for fun, they’re there for business. During this transit, it's like everyone’s wearing blinkers. Other people’s points of view? Pfft! Who needs 'em when you're laser-focused on results? Just remember not to become a cosmic Karen, refusing to tolerate any idea that wasn’t born in the nebula of your own mind. Now, our buddy Pluto is all about ditching negative patterns like yesterday's cosmic trash. It's like Marie Kondo, but for your soul. Does that bad habit spark joy? No? Thank it for its service and toss it into the black hole of forgetfulness. But here's the clincher - Pluto loves a bit of destruction before creation. It's like a toddler with a sandcastle; sometimes, you've got to knock down the old one to make room for the new. But let's not go all Darth Vader on our lives – be deliberate, and don't Force-choke everything in sight. So, as we navigate this Pluto in Capricorn transit, remember: Be kind, be mindful, and for all that's holy in the galaxy, don't forget to recycle those kale chip packets. Peace out, cosmic voyagers!

Current Planetary Positions

The Sun

Sun Opposite Jupiter

Today will be one of optimism and self-confidence. Your only danger is in becoming over-confident. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch the tendency towards self-aggrandizement, false pride, and over-indulgence in food and drink. Don't overspend.

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 opposition Jupiter: Children with this aspect often need to learn to listen, because they may have a tendency of doing the opposite of what they are told! Basically a positive placement indicating enormous energy and radiance, the pitfall of the Sun/Jupiter opposition is overconfidence manifesting as a tendency to take on too many projects at once or a tendency to delve into projects without prior training. There is a tendency to think “I can do anything!” which is fine as long as the child is willing to go through the necessary training to get there! He could get carried away when it comes to vocational choices, following rainbows! This going against himself, so to speak, may also bring him in opposition to those in authority. Help him examine carefully the choices he makes. Insist he finish what he begins, and insist he promise only that which objectively can be fulfilled. Teach your child the importance of right timing and punctuality! Check the nature of the signs and houses that the Sun and Jupiter are in for greater insight in balancing the qualities of this polarity. — Interpretation from the Child Star Report.

Sun opposition Jupiter: You aim high, dream big dreams, and have a tremendous sense of what is possible for you to achieve. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility, and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be your faults. Generally, however, your great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success. Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation, suits you well. — Interpretation from the Merlin Report.

Sun opposition Jupiter: Sometimes you’re prone to unrealistically high expectations, and this in turn can cause frustration when real life doesn’t measure up.

Your optimism and self-confidence will go through periods of being exceedingly high, making you feel invincible. You’ll experience more satisfaction if you take the time to think things through and proceed with patience and even a certain amount of caution. — Interpretation from the Your Life Path Report.

Mercury

Mercury Conjunct Mars

Pour constructive energy and action into communication, writing, reading and anything of a mental nature. Do all your errands today. Your mind is active and it may be difficult at times to slow it down and relax. Your nerves are wound up and it may be necessary for you at some time today to force yourself to seek a quiet place and recoup your strength. Watch a tendency to argue with friends, display impatience, especially while driving, and to generally be on edge. Do not let your high energy level today cause you to become reckless or careless. Pay attention to the things you do and slow down a bit. Remember, discipline. You feel very self-assertive today. Do not let your ego ride roughshod over the people you deal with today. Control your temper AND your tongue. Avoid petty gossip and talking about people behind their backs.

 

Mercury

Mercury Opposite Jupiter

Your judgment may not be perfect today. You may tend to exaggerate and promise more than you can deliver. You may likely bite off more than you can chew. Mental arrogance is possible. Be tolerant of others' viewpoints. Be careful with contracts and other legal issues. You may appear closed-minded, smug or self-righteous to others.You love to express your ideas, sharing them with others quite readily. Jumping to conclusions can be a problem in your life. You often overlook details, preferring to discover the “big picture” quickly. Your thinking and studying habits are not always orderly or disciplined, and this can of course result in sloppiness. Especially with the opposition, you might vacillate between logical, precise thinking and an optimistic conclusion-drawing bent of mind, and in the process, it can be challenging for you to truly get to the heart of a subject or to focus for very long. You may confuse others with a critical flaw-finding conversation one moment, and an overly faithful and unrealistic opinion the next.While your intentions are generally good, you might overestimate what you are capable of, and promise more than you can deliver. Be careful not to develop a reputation for being unreliable, simply because you desire to make others happy with what you say or promise.You are inclined to exaggerate, often without meaning to, and you might have a hard time putting your ideas into practice. In an attempt to attach greater meaning to your thoughts and ideas, you might frequently overstate or overestimate. You can be extraordinarily funny and interesting.You possess an acute but disorderly mind; you can come to rapid conclusions without knowing all the facts. You must learn to be more disciplined, to concentrate more on details and to be more persistent with your projects. You are very generous and optimistic though your optimism can sometimes distance you from reality. — sample from the Adult report.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Arnold Bennett, Annie Bessant, Barry Bonds, Frank Capra, Julia Child, Jimmy Connors, Miles Davis, Dave Davies, Aretha Franklin, Madeline Kahn, Ted Kennedy Jr., Mata Hari, Bill Moyers, Ginger Rogers, Rod Stewart, John Travolta; Oppositions – Karen Allen, Chet Atkins, Dick Clark, Winston S. Churchill, Bill Cosby, Peter Jennings, John Lennon, Stevie Nicks, Pablo Picasso, Lisa Marie Presley, Vincent Price, Noah Wyle.

Venus

Venus Trine Uranus

Unusual, exciting, and unexpected business, social or romantic opportunities can occur now. You are charming, sparkling, witty, and others want you in their company. You exude a certain magnetism that draws people closer to you. Unusual ideas or ways to make money may surface now. You feel free and are happy to be alive. There is a sense of electricity running through you and you feel as if anything could happen. Intuition is strong. Go with it.The ability to get along with–and accept–people from all walks of life as friends is strong with this position. These people can readily see through insincerity in others. In relationships, tolerance is the most important “ingredient” to these people. Their sexual preferences are somewhat unconventional, and they won’t be happy with a partner who tries to limit their sexual expression. They are usually quite capable of maintaining relationships that require a great deal of freedom and tolerance, such as long-distance romances or set-ups in which partners are unable to see each other consistently. Their style in love is somewhat free and breezy, and noncommittal. They quite naturally accept the idea that their partner might need some personal space and freedom.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 Venus and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate interpretations:Venus sextile Uranus or Venus trine Uranus: *You are open and progressive in your attitudes towards love and romance, and spontaneous and free in your love-expression. You are always willing to experiment and try anything new that your partner suggests, and you enjoy being surprised. A relationship in which both you and your partner have a good deal of freedom and independence will hold your interest much more than a safe, predictable one.#On the physical level you feel the sexual spark in relationships immediately. On the spiritual level you are able to discern facts about their future through the same spark. From Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Marlene Dietrich, Gene Hackman, William Blake, Joe Cocker; Trines – Donald Sutherland, Maria Shriver, Arnold Palmer, Molly Ringwald, Jerry Lee Lewis, Barry Gibb, Ron Howard, Carmen Electra, Prince Albert, Lucille Ball.

Mars

Mars Opposite Jupiter

You may notice that you've overextended yourself regarding relationships with others. You may have promised more than you can deliver and now may be the time when people feel as if you've let them down. This is not the time to get involved in a risky business or investment opportunity. Pull in the reins a little and curb your desire to overspend. You must guard against over-optimism and overconfidence. The desire to take risks may be high today. If you choose that route, just remember that a little restraint can go a long way and may save you trouble and financial loss down the road. Go get some exercise and you will probably feel better.This aspect brings great impulsiveness, insatiable desires, playfulness, and daring. You might be frequently trying to prove yourself, to others and/or yourself, and thus readily take on a challenge. You desire exciting experiences and may rarely be satisfied with your life as it is. You require much space and freedom, and you demand to be treated with fairness. You need to be careful that your behavior is deserving of these liberties, and that you treat others with the same respect. Many people with this position tend to flee when angry. This is not because they are afraid of confrontation, because they certainly are not, but when they are frustrated, a deep inner restlessness is stirred. Some people with this position can be quite self-serving, often without even realizing it, demanding freedom and space from others but not necessarily returning the favor.Another negative expression of Mars square Jupiter and Mars opposition Jupiter is a haughty or boastful attitude–some with this aspect in their birth charts feel they can get away with practically anything. Often they can, and even when they don’t, they are quick to recover from losses. However, this is generally due to a tendency to turn a blind eye to what has happened. Here again is the tendency to flee rather than reflect. They are quick to forget or ignore their mistakes, thus the chances of repeating them run high!Your impulsiveness combined with a competitive streak can incline you to gambling, not just with money. Your sex drive is considerable, and some with this position never feel they have enough, or enough experiences, which can lead to sexual promiscuity for some. You would benefit greatly from more time for self-reflection, as you don’t always see your behavior clearly. When you don’t learn from your mistakes, you repeat them.You are attracted to adventure, exploration, and conquest. There is a real spirit of adventure with Mars-Jupiter aspects, but because these planets are in challenging aspect, there can be difficulty knowing when to stop, and slowing down long enough to feel satisfied with one’s accomplishments. Dieters are encouraged to slow down while eating a meal so that they can know when they are full and satisfied. If they eat too quickly, they are likely to eat more than they need. Similarly, people with Mars in hard aspect to Jupiter would benefit from slowing down and reflecting on their experiences so that they avoid living life feeling they have never had enough. This can also help to avoid this position’s tendency to be accident-prone. Males with this position might be difficult to domesticate!

Ever on the look out for new opportunities and promising new ventures, you are willing to take risks if you sense that something is going to be a winner. No matter how much you accomplish, you never seem to be completely satisfied. You always feel you can do more, and set your sights on another goal. You feel frustrated in limited circumstances, and you will leave secure and reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges and potential for growth and expansion in the future. You like to keep stretching your limits, to see how far you can go.

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.
