The Sun

Solar activity was at low levels. The largest flare of the period was a C3.3 at 28/1017 UTC from old Region 3561 (S17, L=327) from just beyond the SE limb. Both Regions 3559 (N26W70, Fko/beta-gamma) and 3560 (S11W75, Dai/beta) were in decay as they approached the W limb. Newly numbered Region 3565 (N07E62, Hrx/alpha) was stable and quiet. A Type II radio burst was reported at 28/0228 (est 648 km/s) but was associated with activity from around the E limb. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

Solar wind parameters were mildly enhanced, possibly from a the anticipated negative polarity CH HSS. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 5-12 nT and the Bz component reached as far south as -6 nT. Solar wind speeds began to increase after ~28/0900UTC, from ~360km/s to ~450 km/s near the end of the UT day. Phi angle transitioned from positive to negative after 28/1030UTC.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Virgo

Greetings, intergalactic traveler! The Moon, our closest cosmic neighbor, is currently parked in Virgo at a distance of around 405,743.705453537 km away. You might say it's practicing social distancing on an astronomical scale. Now, the Moon in Virgo? That's like Spock at a Star Trek convention - logical, meticulous, and with a slight chance of fanatical cleaning sprees. This lunar positioning suggests it's time to double down on details and get our earthly lives in order. And by getting our lives in order, I mean like the way you arrange your comic book collection - alphabetically, by issue number, and color-coded. It’s a great time to make a list of your to-do's, or if you're like me, a list of all Star Wars characters in order of appearance. However, remember, Virgo is also about service. So, while you are dusting off your action figures and re-arranging them in meticulous order, why not extend a helping hand to someone? Perhaps your neighbor needs help organizing their own action figure collection, or they have a Star Trek/Star Wars mix-up that's just waiting for your expertise! Remember, the universe is a big place filled with mysteries, like dark matter, black holes, and people who still think Pluto isn't a planet (I'm looking at you Neil deGrasse Tyson). So, embrace the energy of the Virgo Moon - be precise, be practical, and maybe, just maybe, we can bring a bit more order to this beautiful chaos we call the cosmos. May the force of the Virgo Moon be with you!

Mercury in Capricorn: The Deluxe Space Edition

Well, gather round all you celestial cowpokes! There's a new sheriff in the cosmos, and it ain't bigger than a bread box. Mercury, our favorite little cosmic spitfire, has moseyed on into Capricorn's territory, and things are about to get real... efficient.

Now, I ain't claiming to be an expert in zodiac business dealings, but Capricorn is known as the Bill Gates of the celestial sphere. It's all about reaching for the stars, quite literally. With Mercury in town, we're feeling more like brainy rocket scientists than aimless space wanderers. We start thinking with a kind of laser-focused clarity that could cut through a block of neutronium.

So, picture your thoughts like a 3D jigsaw puzzle of the Millennium Falcon. Normally, they're scattered across the table, under the couch, probably one piece swallowed by the dog. But when Mercury in Capricorn comes calling, suddenly you're assembling that spaceship faster than Han Solo can say "I've got a bad feeling about this."

But hey, don't get too cocky, kid. Capricorn's influence on our communication can make us sound more like a protocol droid than a charismatic spaceship captain. Remember, not everyone appreciates a "my way or the hyperspace highway" attitude. It's great to have confidence in your ideas, but nobody likes a know-it-all, unless it's a know-it-all who brings donuts. Then you're golden.

So, while Mercury's cruising through Capricorn, let's try to remember the wise words of a certain Firefly captain: "We're all just floating in the black, trying to keep each other shiny." Let's focus on building our ideas, not our egos, and maybe we'll all end up a little bit shinier.

Venus Is In Capricorn

Oh, jolly good, Venus is in Capricorn! I know, I know, you're probably thinking: "Great, another cosmic event that's going to ruin my plans for Netflix and chill." But hold on to your telescopes, fellow stargazers, because this isn't just any old transit. Venus, the interstellar goddess of love and beauty, has decided to shack up with Capricorn, the zodiac's most dedicated workaholic. That's right, folks. This isn't a vacation for our Venusian queen, it’s a working holiday! Imagine your boss inviting you over for dinner, and instead of chilling with a glass of wine, you end up discussing the annual financial reports and brainstorming about future projects. That's Venus in Capricorn for you. For those entangled in the threads of love, this is a cosmic call to get serious. No more flings, no more casual dates, this is about commitment, baby. Think deep conversations, long walks on the beach, maybe even a "what are we?" talk. Oh, and if you're still looking for love, it's time to ditch the flighty flirtations for something more enduring. Remember, with Venus in Capricorn, it's not about the sprint, it's about the marathon. And let's not forget about how Venus in Capricorn affects our sense of style. It's bye-bye disco pants and hello sensible slacks. This is the time to swap your edgy hairdo for something a little more subdued. Venus in Capricorn is like your grandmother coming to visit - it's time to tidy up and put your best foot forward. Lastly, let's talk business. With Venus in the house of Capricorn, it's time to re-evaluate your worth at work. Are you getting the validation you need? Are you moving up the career ladder as you'd hoped? If not, don't worry. This is the perfect time to reconnect with your inner CEO and take that career to the next level. So, my dear stargazers, remember: when Venus is in Capricorn, it's not about the journey, it's about the climb. So, strap on your hiking boots, grab your compass, and let's climb this mountain together.

The Terminator Meets Mars in Capricorn

"I'll be back," says Mars, as it makes its grand entrance into the ambitious sign of Capricorn. And when it comes to getting down to business, this planetary powerhouse is not messing around, my friends. It's like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie up there in the cosmos right now, minus the killer robots, time travel, and dramatic catchphrases.

Imagine Mars strutting around in a leather jacket with a touch of Capricorn's classy tweed. Think less "Hasta la vista, baby," and more "Let's survey this situation, devise a strategy, and execute it with ruthless efficiency, baby." That's the energy we're dealing with.

You know that feeling when you've just chugged a double espresso, organized your entire desk, and you're ready to tackle that project you've been avoiding? That's Mars in Capricorn. It's all about rolling up your sleeves and putting in the work to turn those sci-fi dreams into tangible realities.

Now, both Mars and Capricorn have a bit of a reputation for being tough cookies. They're like the gym rats of the zodiac, always pushing against obstacles to keep their cosmic muscles in shape. So, if you've got a goal that's been collecting dust on your to-do list, now's the time to get your ‘Astro-Arnold’ on and make it happen.

However, remember that Mars in Capricorn is not exactly Mr. Congeniality of the cosmos. It's all well and good to be driven but keep an eye out for blind ambition. You don’t want to be the kind of celestial action hero who doesn't see (or care about) the little people they step on while climbing the ladder of success. So, remember to pack some compassion with your energy protein bars, for yourself and others.

In short, Mars in Capricorn is saying: "Come with me if you want to progress." And who are we to argue with that?

Jupiter In Taurus: The Cosmic Stand-Up Routine

Hey there, space cadets! Brace yourselves because Jupiter, that big old gasbag in the sky, has decided to crash at Taurus' place for a while. Picture it: the planet of wisdom and deep thoughts bunking with our favorite celestial couch potato. What could possibly go wrong?

When these two get together, it's like a cosmic version of a self-help book. They've got this idea that the answers we're all desperately googling for are actually just hanging out in the dusty corners of our own minds. So, maybe it's about time we put on our spiritual overalls and did some spring cleaning in the ol' cranium.

As the resident brainiac and life coach of the cosmos, Jupiter in Taurus is your ticket to finally making a dent in that dream you've been snoozing on. Remember that list of long-term goals you wrote on a post-it note and then lost under a pile of pizza boxes? Yeah, it's time to excavate that sucker and start ticking off items like they're going out of style.

And while we're on the topic of style, let's talk money, honey. With Jupiter in Taurus, prosperity isn't just a vague concept, it's a lifestyle. Jupiter, our lucky charm, sharing space with Taurus, the zodiac's Warren Buffet, could mean you're in for some serious financial gains. Just remember to keep an eye on those impulsive spending habits; Taurus loves indulgence and Jupiter might just encourage a shopping spree of intergalactic proportions.

So, whether you're a starry-eyed Aries or a practical Virgo, this cosmic kerfuffle of Jupiter in Taurus is an invitation to step up, dig deep, and maybe even find the meaning of life...or at least figure out how to balance your checkbook. Good luck, stargazers!

Saturn Is In Pisces

Well, buckle up star gazers, because Saturn's just taken a detour into Pisces, and let me tell ya, things are about to get fishier than the contents of a deep sea trawler's net! Saturn, the cosmic headmaster, is now doing a backstroke in the murky waters of Pisces. This is the Universe's way of saying: "Hey! You know that crazy dream you have about starting your own alpaca farm or becoming a professional cheese roller? It's time to make it happen, mate!" So dust off that business plan and start scouting for those roller-skates! Let's be honest though, Saturn in Pisces can be as comfortable as wearing a porcupine onesie. I mean, who wants their secret dreams scrutinized by a big, ringed ball of gas? But don't start hanging those 'no entry' signs just yet. Ol' Saturn might come across like a nosy neighbour, but he's got some pretty solid advice, if you'd just let him in for a cuppa. Now, you might find yourself struggling with sleep, as if you've downed a litre of espresso right before bedtime. The Piscean realm, which usually takes care of our Zzz's, is currently hosting an unwelcome visitor. But don't fret - this is the perfect excuse to work on your chillaxing skills. Try some meditation or a peaceful walk in nature. Heck, even taking a nap could prove fruitful - just make sure to keep a dream journal handy. You never know when Saturn might sneak in a bit of sage advice amidst all that subconscious waffle. So, there you have it folks! The cosmic forecast calls for a sprinkle of Saturn, a dash of Pisces, and a whole lot of potential. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to research alpacas... and roller-skates.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus Boot Scootin' in Taurus

Alright, stargazers, brace yourselves! Uranus, the cosmic rebel, is doing a cha-cha slide into the sign of Taurus, the cosmic couch potato. Now, Taurus is known for enjoying its creature comforts and firmly sticking to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. But here comes Uranus, blasting through like a mad scientist on a caffeine buzz, shouting, "But what if we could make it MORE interesting?" So, you can expect some unexpected plot twists in the grand sitcom of life. And remember, folks, no reruns in the cosmic TV guide!

Now, Taurus is the Bill Gates of the zodiac, all about financial stability and coin-clinking. With Uranus sliding into this territory, we might see some changes that would even flabbergast a Star Trek economist. Beam me up, Bitcoin! Traditional banks might go the way of the DVD player, and the housing and stock markets could have more twists and turns than a telenovela. Hold onto your hats... and your wallets!

On an individual level, this Uranus-Taurus tango is going to challenge our notions of security and materialism. You know those annoying things like debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages? Yeah, those. They might start feeling like a Millennium Falcon stuck in a Death Star tractor beam. Time to channel your inner Luke Skywalker and break free!

During this star-studded transit, we'll need to redefine our relationship with money and material possessions. It's like Marie Kondo meets the Matrix. Do your belongings spark joy or are they just taking up space? As we navigate this period, we might find ourselves reaching new levels of financial stability. Think of it as your own personal Big Bang - creating a whole new universe of possibilities. So buckle up, stargazers! Resistance is futile. But don’t worry, I’ll be here, guiding you through the cosmic chaos with a hot cup of chai and my trusty telescope.

Neptune in Pisces: Get Your Galactic Goggles On!

Alright, cosmic comrades! Our dear ol' Neptune has decided to throw a party in Pisces, and who are we to say no? Now, let's not get too hung up on the fact that Neptune is casually chilling about 4.6 billion kilometers away. What's a few light years between friends, right?

Pisces, our zodiac's resident artiste, is all about emotion and spirit. Meanwhile, Neptune's got this crazy hankering to unify everything, like a celestial Marie Kondo. With these two in sync, it's like someone switched on the high beams in the cosmic fog. Suddenly, we're seeing our own contradictions as clearly as a Star Trek bloopers reel. Petty differences? Pssh! They've got as much value as a chocolate teapot.

With Neptune in Pisces, it's all about collective progress and healing. Imagine we're all part of one big galactic band. We've each got our own instrument to play, be it a ukulele, a tambourine, or a theremin (you do you). What tune can we create together? How can we turn our dreams into reality? This transit is your backstage pass to explore your emotional intelligence and find your unique groove.

Ever fancied taking a course in Quantum Zen Meditation (it's a thing, probably)? Or maybe creating a sacred space at home for your collection of extraterrestrial crystals? Now's the perfect time! And remember, Neptune in Pisces is like your personal cheerleader, pom-poms and all, supporting you in your cosmic journey.

So, strap on your galactic goggles, stoke your stellar spirit, and let's explore this universe together. After all, we're all just stardust in the cosmic soup of life.

Pluto in Aquarius: A Cosmic Comedy of Sorts

Well, stargazers, grab your telescopes and brace yourselves, because Pluto is taking a scenic road trip through Aquarius. Now, for those of you who aren’t cosmically inclined, let me break it down. Pluto, our dwarf planet buddy, is the celestial equivalent of that friend who inspires you to do a total wardrobe overhaul. Not just a new scarf or a pair of shoes, but a complete, throw-out-everything-you've-ever-known kind of makeover.

On the other hand, Aquarius - no, not the catchy song from the 60s - is the zodiac sign of progress and innovation. It’s like your eccentric scientist friend who's always working on something that seems crazy, but might just be genius. So, when Pluto decides to bunk with Aquarius, we're talking about some serious cosmic shenanigans!

This isn't just about deciding to switch from cappuccino to cold brew. Oh no, it’s about transforming on a soul-deep level. Imagine shedding your old self like a snake skin, only to emerge as a disco-dancing, roller-skating, humanitarian rockstar. That’s the Pluto-Aquarius vibe!

Expect to see some serious leaps in fields like science, technology, and yes, even space travel. I mean, who wouldn't want a holiday home on Mars? But more importantly, this period will bring about changes in how we treat each other. That's right, folks, civil rights and humanitarianism are on the upswing. It's like we're all getting a collective group hug from the universe!

Now, on a personal level, this cosmic event is ringing your doorbell, and it's asking you to rethink your place in the world. Instead of asking "What's in it for me?" start pondering "What's in it for us?" It's a shift from singular to plural, from me to we. So, will you be answering the door?

Remember, my lovely star children, Pluto is a whopping 5,372,697,725.471439362km away (yes, even astrology can be precise), so don't stress too much if you're not feeling the changes instantly. After all, cosmic shifts are like good wine...they take time. But when they do hit, oh boy! You better brace yourselves for

The Sun

Sun Square Jupiter

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

Mercury

Mercury

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

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

Peace and harmony should be yours today. People love you and you love them. You will go out of your way to help others today because you are full of friendliness and you want to see others happy. Financial transactions go smoothly today and you seem to attract money or material possessions. Relationships are warm and there is love in the air.These people have an easy smile, a warm and responsive sense of humor, and a rather easygoing manner when they’re feeling comfortable. Although they are unlikely to seek out people to help, they’re quite quick to lend a helping hand if the need arises. It’s natural for these people to incorporate humor into romantic and sexual moments, and they don’t always understand more serious approaches. They are capable of much romance, but playfulness comes naturally to them. They can be extravagant, at times, with their pocketbook, but usually have the good sense to stop before things get out of hand. They expect to grow in their social and personal relationships. Stagnation makes little if any sense to them. Their appreciation for the good things in life is evident but not excessive. Often people with these aspects are in a position to offer opportunities to others, usually with regards to work and career.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 Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report — Your magnetic nature attracts others to you, and you are popular without making much effort. Sharing your spiritual joy does not have to involve sharing on the physical level.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Sextiles – Dane Rudhyar, Mary Pickford, Keanu Reeves, Edith Piaf, Geraldine Page, Clara Barton, Ty Cobb, Alfred Adler; Trines – Troy Aikman, Gene Hackman, Bob Hope, Martin Scorcese, Socrates.

Venus Sextile Saturn

You may develop ideas for organizing business, financial, or personal affairs under this transit. You will feel reserved, controlled, and disciplined in any endeavor relating to relationship, beauty, art or music. This is a good time to start a new partnership, perhaps with someone older. Public relations and legal work should go smoothly.People with harmonious aspects between Venus and Saturn in their birth charts have a good sense of what is expected of them in personal relationships, and quite naturally do right by others. Cautious in love, they are careful of what they give out or promise to give, as they generally feel obligated to follow through. They don’t take connections with others lightly, and are more attracted to long-term, committed partnerships than more casual relationships. They usually don’t expect too much from others, and take relationship problems in stride, intuitively understanding that there’s always some bad with any good. It’s not easy to sweep them off their feet, they’re unlikely to lavish affection on someone unless they’re certain that person will return the favor, and they are not risk takers with their hearts. A similar attitude towards money is common as well–they are generally practical and cautious in this department.You have a knack for handling pressures, stresses, and challenges of relationships–you take relationship problems in stride, knowing fully well that they are part of life. You take the bad with the good. You can be like a Rock of Gibraltar with a person you love. You tend to learn from the mistakes you make in relationships, and you don’t run away when a problem presents itself. You know how to make something last, and your ideal partner appreciates this fact. Loyalty, fidelity, and security are very important to you in love. You are cautious about giving your heart away but true to the one who does win your love. Your tastes are simple, even austere, and you do not appreciate frivolity. You are interested in a person’s character and inner qualities far more than their appearance. Casual or superficial relationships don’t interest you at all, for love seems to get deeper and richer and more satisfying for you with time.

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.
