The Sun

Solar activity returned to low levels. Region 3576 (S17W51, Eki/beta-gamma-delta) remained the most complex region on the visible disk, maintaining a weakened delta signature in its largest intermediate penumbra grouping. Region 3583 (N09E01, Eki/beta-gamma) continued to grow in overall size while undergoing decay in its intermediate spots, and produced at C4.9 flare at 13/0138 UTC. However, an area of enhanced flux just beyond the northeast limb was the culprit for the largest flare of the period, which was a C5 at 13/0759 UTC. Region 3585 (N14E61, Hax/alpha) was numbered this period as it became visible, but was otherwise unremarkable. The remaining active regions were stable and relatively quiet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

The solar kp index is unsettled, with retrograde effects slightly enhanced. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!

Solar wind parameters indicated mild transient influences. Total field averaged 5-6 nT for a majority of the day. The Bz component underwent a prolonged, sustained southward deflection for most of the period reaching -5 to -6 nT. Solar wind speeds gradually decreased from near 500 km/s to just under 400 km/s. Phi was negative until approximately 13/1335 UTC when it became predominantly positive.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 35% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 5% chance of a strong event.

Ahoy, space cadets! Your friendly neighborhood Astro-nerd here, checking in with some spicy celestial tea. Now, I know you're all hanging on the edge of your zero-gravity chairs, wondering what kind of cosmic vibes are in store for you. Well, buckle up, because it's going to be a stellar ride! So, our lovely, crater-faced friend up there, the Moon, has decided to park itself in Aries for the moment. That's right, the same Aries that's often compared to a fiery, headstrong ram, not some harmless little lamb. Now, you might be wondering how far away is this moon? It's sitting pretty at around 367748.121488615km away (give or take a few light seconds). But don't worry, you won't need a spaceship to feel its effects. With the Moon in Aries, brace yourselves for an energy burst that would put any supernova to shame. You’ll feel as though you've been shot out of a cannon on a mission to conquer your to-do list, or perhaps to finally confront that pesky black hole of dirty laundry that's been growing in your room. But hold onto your helmets because the moon isn’t planning to stay in Aries for long! That's right, folks, the lunar body is a bit of a celestial nomad, and in the next 24 hours, it's moving over to Taurus. You might feel a shift in energy from 'I'm going to take over the universe' to 'I just want to lay down in a field of alien flowers and relax'. Yes, Taurus is the comfy couch of the zodiac, so be ready to trade in your space boots for some fuzzy slippers. Remember, my starry-eyed friends, the universe is a wild ride, full of unexpected twists and turns. So, whether you're an Aries or a Taurus, a Moon-child or a Saturn-sibling, just grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the cosmic show. There's no better entertainment in any galaxy!

Mercury Is In Aquarius

"Hello fellow star gazers and cosmic enthusiasts! Get ready to strap on your mental jetpacks because Mercury has just entered Aquarius. Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Does this mean I'm going to start coming up with zany ideas that could possibly change the world?'. Well... yeah! In a nutshell, that's exactly what it means! Remember, Aquarius is like that eccentric friend of yours who always challenges you to step outside the box and Mercury... well, let's just say he's got a reputation for being the Einstein of the planets. Now they're hanging out together in the cosmic playground and things are about to get interesting. Think of this pairing as a sort of intergalactic brainstorming session. You'll be flooded with visionary ideas that seem to come from nowhere. And no, it's not because you accidentally drank too much kombucha or stayed up too late binge watching Neo dodge bullets in The Matrix. This is just the magic of Mercury doing his thing in Aquarius. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility (thanks, Uncle Ben)! While this intellectual surge can fuel some amazing revelations, it can also make us a bit dismissive of emotions - both ours and those of the people around us. So, while you're busy inventing the next hoverboard or designing a self-cleaning house, don't forget to check in with your heart and the hearts of others. Let's face it, even Spock had to learn the value of feelings at some point! So there you have it folks, a quick and nerdy guide to what happens when Mercury takes a vacation in Aquarius. Enjoy the mental gymnastics, just remember to stretch first. And most importantly, don't forget to keep your sense of humor handy. After all, how else will you explain to your friends why you've suddenly started building a spaceship in your backyard?"

Venus Is In Capricorn

All right, star-gazers and cosmic cruisers! Let's talk about Venus - not the catchy Bananarama song or that kitschy velvet painting you bought at a garage sale for 50p, but the planet Venus. Now, this celestial diva has decided to shimmy her way into Capricorn, and let me tell you, it's like watching a disco ball make a move on a filing cabinet. Yes, my friends, Venus in Capricorn is like a love letter written in binary code: practical, focused, and a bit on the stiff side. It's less of a wild, passionate tango, and more of a well-choreographed waltz where each step is planned and executed with precision. So, for those of you cuddled up with your significant other, this could be your golden chance to work through that pile of laundry that's been growing faster than mould on a cheese sandwich. And for the lone wolves out there, it's time to trade in those fleeting Tinder swipes for something more substantial... like a good book, maybe. Now, Venus in Capricorn doesn't just impact your love life, it also gives you a serious fashion makeover. If you've been considering trading in your neon tutus and rainbow unicorn onesies for something a little less... conspicuous, now is the time. Think more tweed and less tinsel. But don't worry, you'll still have the drive to create, Capricorn just helps you focus that creativity into something less abstract. Like IKEA furniture assembly. This transit also means business, and not just any business - serious, spreadsheet-loving, coffee-breathing business. You might start questioning your worth at work, like why you're stuck photocopying when you're clearly CEO material. But hey, it's also a time to own your inner boss and make that promotion happen! So, in conclusion, Venus in Capricorn is not about the flashy, the frivolous or the flamboyant. It's about getting down to brass tacks, and building something solid. Whether that's a relationship, a wardrobe, or a flat-pack bookshelf is entirely up to you. Now go forth, and may your cosmic journey be as smooth as a well-oiled bicycle chain.

Mars Is In Aquarius

Good day, my celestial voyagers! We have a bit of interstellar intrigue today, as it appears our old red-faced buddy Mars has decided to vacation in Aquarius! Oh my, isn't that a fascinating turn of events? Now, Mars isn't exactly known for its chill persona - it's more the 'warrior at a poetry slam' type. However, the cool, intellectual vibe of Aquarius might just be the perfect antidote to all that fiery Martian energy. It's like putting Spock and Kirk in a room and watching them play chess. And by chess, I mean changing the world! You see, Mars in Aquarius is like having a lightsaber with a PhD. It's all about using that warrior spirit to champion your most brilliant, out-of-this-world ideas. Forget thinking outside of the box - Mars in Aquarius is about teleporting that box to another dimension! Traditional ways of thinking? Pfft, they're about as exciting as a lecture on binary sunsets. It's time to dust off those radical ideas you've been hiding in the back of your mental TARDIS and start shaping the future you want. Oh, and did I mention social justice? Mars in Aquarius can't stand to see an underdog down. You'll find yourself not just noticing the problems, but also becoming a mastermind of solutions. You'll be like a Jedi of justice, using the force to bring about much-needed change. And rules? Who needs 'em! Mars in Aquarius is like Han Solo at a galactic council meeting - a rebellious free-thinker. So why not side-step the usual and take the road less traveled by hyperspace? Remember, you're as capable of brilliance as a supernova, so liberate yourself from old patterns and embrace a totally different way of doing things. So, buckle up, star gazers! This is no ordinary transit. It's a cosmic opportunity for revolution, reformation and radical change. May the Mars be with you!

Jupiter in Taurus: A Galactic Standoff Involving a Big Gas Giant and a Bull

Alright cosmic nerds, it's time to polish those telescopes because Jupiter, that colossal gas giant we all love to marvel at, has decided to park itself in Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn sign. Think of it as if Jupiter is a wise old professor who's suddenly decided to take up residence in a bull's pen. Yeah, you can imagine the chaos.

This cosmic tango between wisdom and stubbornness reminds us that enlightenment isn't some mystical unicorn that we have to chase around the universe. It's right here, within us, sandwiched somewhere between last night's pizza and this morning's coffee. The challenge is to tune out the white noise of our own lives and tap into that inner wisdom.

Now, when Jupiter decides to shimmy with Taurus, it's like getting an intergalactic push towards your dreams. You'll feel an urge to make meticulous to-do lists (Taurus would be proud) and start ticking off items like there's no tomorrow. It's like having your own personal cheerleading squad consisting of a gas giant and a bull, urging you to trust the cosmic process and reach for the stars (or in this case, the next tangible goal).

Did someone say 'prosperity'? Because when Jupiter, the Santa Claus of the solar system, hangs out in Taurus, the zodiac's very own Scrooge McDuck, things tend to get a bit...well, prosperous. It's high time to do a financial health check and find opportunities for growth. Just remember not to blow it all on the latest Star Trek collectibles.

Here's where it gets tricky though. Taurus loves luxury the way a Trekkie loves a Star Trek convention. So when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, waltzes into this indulgent sign, we might find ourselves mistaking our needs for wants. In other words, that limited-edition Batman figurine might not be a 'need', no matter how much you want it to be. Keep those impulses in check, folks!

So buckle up, space cadets. It's going to be an exciting ride. Remember: Live long and prosper... but within your means!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 08 Pis 00' 04", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1598393889km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Surfing Saturn in Pisces

Alright, space cadets, buckle up because Saturn is taking the scenic route through Pisces, and it's about to get as surreal as a Salvador Dali painting. Now, you might be thinking, "Why should I care about some distant planet doing the cosmic cha-cha in a fishy constellation?" Well, my science-savvy stargazers, let me enlighten you.

When Saturn, the galactic taskmaster, finds itself dabbling in the intuitive realm of Pisces, it's like your high school principal showing up at a Phish concert – a bit out of place but definitely ready to enforce some order. This is the time when dreams stop being the stuff of la-la land and start getting real... or at least as real as they can with the hazy Piscean influence. So, if you've been daydreaming of opening a vegan taco truck or penning the next great sci-fi novel, now's the time to get that spaceship off the ground!

Of course, having the celestial disciplinarian in the house of dreams isn't always a space walk in the park. Saturn in Pisces is notorious for questioning our deepest desires, like a cosmic Dr. Phil, making us squirm uncomfortably in our dream bubble. But don't pull up the drawbridge to your imagination just yet! Instead, welcome Saturn in like an uninvited but surprisingly helpful houseguest who's ready to roll up their sleeves and give your dreams a deep clean.

As for sleep? Well, remember that '90s song 'Insomnia' by Faithless? You'll be humming that tune as Saturn in Pisces can make counting sheep harder than solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded. It's crucial to channel our inner hippie: meditate, take long walks in the woods, practice deep breathing, or even try interpretive dance (just don't record it). You may also want to invest in a dream journal, because when Saturn in Pisces talks, your subconscious listens!

So, space cowboys and cowgirls, let's ride the cosmic waves of Saturn in Pisces. Put on your swim caps, dust off your dream journals, and remember, in space, no one can hear you snore.

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 13' 48", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 2944351341km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: The Cosmic Joke of the Century!

Oh, cosmic travelers, hold on to your hats! Uranus, the rebellious teen of the solar system, has decided to crash on the couch of good ol' steady Taurus. Picture this: it's like Spock from Star Trek trying to organize a surprise party for Bilbo Baggins. It's bound to be awkward, mildly chaotic but ultimately a blast!

Taurus, our celestial Bull, loves routine. It's like that grandpa who still uses a rotary phone and insists that vinyl records are the best. But here comes Uranus, with its 360-degree turns and space-age tech, ready to shake things up. Taurus might grumble, but we should all know by now that change is as inevitable as the Star Wars franchise releasing another sequel.

Now, Taurus is a money maestro. It could give Scrooge McDuck a run for his gold coins. But with Uranus in residence, expect some radical crypto-currency concepts, banks adopting VR customer service (Hello, Hologram Teller!) and maybe even a stock market rollercoaster that would make even the most seasoned Wall Street wolf dizzy.

On an individual level, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic decluttering session. It's time to Marie Kondo your finances and your material possessions. That crippling debt? Zapped! Those credit card interests that multiply faster than tribbles? Poof! And the relentless rent and mortgage payments? Well, Uranus is here with its cosmic wrecking ball to shake things up.

Resistance is as futile as trying to argue with a Dalek. Uranus doesn't do 'slow and steady.' Its mission? To liberate us from financial chains. It might seem scary, like watching a science fiction movie from the 60's, but trust me, it'll lead to greater stability. And these changes, much like the popularity of superhero movies, are here to stay.

So buckle up, stargazers. We’re in for one cosmic ride that’s sure to be more thrilling than any Star Trek vs Star Wars debate! Beam us up, Uranus!

Neptune Is In Pisces

Neptune In Pisces: The Cosmic Comedy

Alright, stargazers, strap on your rocket boots and grab your helmets because Neptune has parked its astral RV in the mystical territories of Pisces. Now you might be thinking: "Hey, isn't Neptune just a big blue ball of gas, 4599078973.233444214km away?" Well, yes... and no. Remember, we're dealing with astrology here, not your high school physics textbook. So, bear with me.

Here's the gist: When Neptune, the king of dreams and illusions, decides to take a swim in the cosmic pool of Pisces, things get a little... well, trippy. It's like if Spock decided to join a poetry slam or if Yoda traded in his lightsaber for a magic wand. There's a fascinating fusion of emotion and spirit, where all our earthly bickering seems as pointless as arguing about the best Star Trek captain. (We all know it’s Picard, right? Though a case could be made for Janeway...)

This cosmic shuffle is like a call to arms—or rather, a call to hearts—for each one of us. We're being invited to step up, don our superhero capes, and contribute to a grand, collective dream. A dream where peace rules, love conquers, and nobody ever has to argue about whether or not Pluto is a planet.

So, how do we answer the call? Well, this is the perfect time to dive into that spiritual journey you've been contemplating. Maybe you could meditate on the mysteries of the universe, take up yoga, or even build a shrine to honor Neil deGrasse Tyson. Just remember, friends, the energy of Neptune in Pisces is your celestial cheerleader, rooting for you from afar.

So, go out there, embrace your inner nerd, share your ideas with the world, and remember: in space, no one can hear you laugh... or can they?

Pluto In Aquarius: A Galactic Gear Shift

Alright, stargazers, strap on your space boots! Pluto, the cosmic equivalent of a deep house clean, is sauntering through Aquarius, the zodiac's resident mad scientist. This is like having Spock and Captain Kirk stuck in a shuttle pod together – expect sparks, surprises, and maybe a dramatic monologue or two!

Pluto isn't about giving you a fresh coat of paint. No, this planet is more into the gut renovation of your soul. It's about tearing down old, moldy wallpaper of outdated beliefs and laying the foundation for something better, like a cosmic version of Extreme Makeover: Soul Edition. And when it teams up with Aquarius, a sign that's all about pushing boundaries and saying, "Why not?" to the impossible, we're in for some serious progress.

During this transit, don't be shocked if we make leaps in science, technology, and heck, maybe even finally figure out how to teleport (I'm looking at you, Elon Musk). But beyond our tech toys, we'll also see shifts in how we view each other as humans. Empathy and understanding will become the new cool kids in town, outshining outdated systems of power and control. Forget about laser guns, the real power will be in cooperation and compassion.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is like a galactic life coach, challenging you to rethink your place in the universe. Instead of asking, "What's in it for me?", try wondering, "How can I make things better for everyone?" That's a radical thought, isn't it? It's like flipping the script on survival of the fittest and playing survival of the kindest instead.

So, are you ready for this cosmic rollercoaster ride? Because Pluto in Aquarius is your ticket to a future that's brighter, kinder, and just downright cooler. Beam me up, Scotty!

The Sun

Sun Sextile Moon

There is a nice balance today between your emotional side and your ego. This will promote harmony between you and women, the public, family members, and children. Think about talking over emotional issues with the people you are close to as this transit brings harmony and a willingness to compromise and see the others' point of view.

Venus

Venus

Venus Conjunct Mars

There is a desire for love, beauty, relationships, and things that feel good. Desire is strong today and this includes the desire for the opposite sex. Be considerate of others today as you may express yourself too strongly. Use your creative energies and get involved with the arts, music or the theater. How about making a special meal for your significant other? Watch your spending today as you may feel tempted to overindulge and be too extravagant. Curb your potential for eating too much rich, sweet, or spicy food. Moderation is the key. Be refined and charming around women. Do not get involved in petty gossip or in competition with the women you know. Have fun at a social gathering, but remember, don't come on too strong or let your opinion of yourself swell so as to become overbearing and obnoxious.For people with a Venus-Mars conjunction in their natal charts, the blending of the feminine and masculine energies within is a natural process, although other aspects to the conjunction will tell the whole story as to how this is done. These people possess personal magnetism in spades. They live and breathe romantic/sexual relationships. It is generally easy for them to form relationships, unless the conjunction is severely afflicted. They ooze sexuality, and they are generally quite impulsive with regards to entering new relationships. Relationships are not only important to them, they require a fair amount of excitement, adventure, and passion in their pairings in order to feel alive and vital. With this conjunction, there is generally a pleasing blend of self-assertion and cooperation. This comprises some of their charm, in that they generally know how to assert themselves without stepping on others’ toes. In some cases, men with this aspect may be too dominating in romantic situations, and might gain a reputation for being “macho”. This is not always the case, however. For the most part, these people are quite direct about what they want in a relationship, and they are quite passionate when it comes to going about getting what they want. It can be a challenge maintaining perspective when it comes to relationships. These people are generally highly creative and are bent on finding outlets for their creativity. Their vitality and warm energy is something that can be felt by others, as if it lies just below the surface.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Mars: Barry Bonds (in Gemini), Carmen Electra (in Gemini), Bette Davis, James Caan (in Taurus, also conjunct Uranus), Sally Field, Eva Gabor (in Pisces), Merv Griffin (in Leo), Kris Kristofferson (in Gemini), Bruce Lee (in Scorpio), Courtney Love (in Gemini), Peter O’Toole, Al Pacino (in Gemini), Stefanie Powers (in Scorpio), Sting, Uma Thurman (in Gemini), Vincent Van Gogh (in Pisces), Harry Hamlin (in Virgo), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, conjunct the Ascendant).

Venus

Venus

Venus Conjunct Pluto

Your love nature may be particularly charged with emotion and desire. Possessiveness and jealousy are possible. Power struggles may be a part of your close relationships. Resist the urge to control your partner. Intense change in romantic relationships is possible.Your emotions, particularly when it comes to feelings of love and attachment, run very deep. Your personality is magnetic, and you tend to arouse strong feelings in others, who may find you intriguing or somehow offensive! And all of this before you even open your mouth.In love, you can be quite possessive and possibly obsessive. At the root of obsessive feelings are deep fears of rejection, loss, and betrayal. Your feelings often run hot or cold–your love nature is generally extreme. It’s hard for you to detach yourself when it comes to personal relationships, and this sensitivity comes from a tendency to take things very much to heart. You are certainly most charming when you want to be. Love relationships turn your world upside down. You are likely to experience love at first sight, as you tend to work on instinct when it comes to affairs of the heart. Your relationships often feel fateful. You easily put pressure on your partner, as you expect much loyalty and honesty in your intimate relationships. Be careful not to let your relationships get to a point where your partner is superfluous and you are working through your own inner demons through him or her. Certainly, you will learn much about yourself through your relationships, and you may not always like what you see. You will meet yourself (the “darker” side or inner demons) through your relationships, and it will be critical that you recognize it as your own “material” and not project it onto your partner. On another level, you may have a talent for drama, writing lyrics, music in general, and finance.Alternate interpretations:~You are extremely loyal to and solicitous of those you love, without a cloying sentimentality. Your values and thoughts center on love, which can easily become the hub of your life. Early in a relationship, you are apt to be jealous and possessive, but with time and experience this can be transformed into a higher, more mature type of attachment. You are willing to give your all to your beloved but demand the same in return. Your strongest desire is for an all-consuming love that will bring you satisfaction on all levels: emotional, physical and spiritual. With aspects to Mars or Neptune, there could be a preoccupation with or compulsive attitude toward sex. — Interpretation sample from the Heaven Knows What report.+ You may not be particularly sentimental but if you love someone, you love them completely and forever. You live on the emotional extremes. People are either important to you or they don’t even exist. Your feelings are deep and volcanic. You love power and control which is fine if you have learned to control yourself. You are magnetic and surrounded with an aura of mystery. You deal with groups and group resources. You may have leadership in some creative project or in some financial enterprise. You polarize people: they either love you or hate you but are seldom indifferent to you. — Interpretation sample from the In-Depth Profile report.*You have deep, compelling love feelings that seem irresistible and often irrational. Your love relationships are very passionate and intense, and you experience both agony and ecstasy in love. You are always changed in a deep, fundamental way by your love experiences, though this may come about through painful and difficult confrontations or separations. You are something of an emotional fanatic about things you care about.#You are the stuff of saints and martyrs because you engage in your beliefs with a fanatical desire to conquer anyone in your path. A physical love relationship can make or break your spiritual connection, depending on your ability to nurture the depth of feeling. Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus conjunct Pluto: Ian Scott Anderson (Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo), Charles Dickens (Venus conjunct Pluto in Pisces), Amelia Earhart (Venus conjunct Pluto in Gemini), Jessica Hahn (Venus in late Leo conjunct Pluto in early Virgo), Phil Hartman (Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo), Victor Hugo (Venus conjunct Pluto in Pisces), Jeremy Irons (Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo), Liberace (Venus conjunct Pluto in Cancer), Heather Locklear (Venus conjunct Pluto in Virgo), Barry Manilow (in Leo), Dr. Phil McGraw (in Leo), Olivia Newton-John (in Leo), Sean Penn (in Virgo), Julia Roberts (in Virgo), Sarah Ferguson (in Virgo), William Butler Yeats (in Taurus).

Mars

Mars

Mars Conjunct Pluto

You may be tempted to bully people into doing your will. The spirit of competition is strong, but try to be cooperative instead. Much can be accomplished if you will use your energies and your indomitable will together, in harmony. Do not try to control people or events. Concentrate on doing your best and things will work out the way they are supposed to. People who are coerced to do your will, will at some time try to even up the score. It's not worth it. Avoid power struggles and be aware that someone might try to control you. If so, all you have to do is stand up for your rights.Your ability to commit yourself to a task or goal is tremendous. When inspired, you are able to draw upon great stores of strength and determination. You can be so single-minded and focused that you readily lose yourself in a particular task, possibly to the point of obsession! You can be very skilled at investigation and research. Quite automatically, you are interested in what motivates and drives others, which can make you a natural psychologist. You might find that you constantly challenge yourself to take on more and to do more. You might watch this tendency if it seems to take over your life, as you may never feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Your stamina and endurance tend to be stronger than most.You don’t take kindly to others’ attempts to bully or push you, and you can be extremely stubborn when pushed. You are always especially aware of, and sensitive to, others’ use of power and authority. Resentment can be a problem and letting things go can be very challenging. Your gut reactions are rather intense and emotional in quality. As you mature, you are likely to learn that detaching yourself a little helps you to be more objective and constructive.You might have some fear of your own anger, assertiveness, power, and drive, particularly early in life if your intense nature has been misunderstood. You are not always forthcoming about your intentions and plans, and you typically strategize well in pursuit of a goal rather than go after what you want loudly and directly. While this means you can out-maneuver practically anyone, and although your determination is admirable, you might watch for a somewhat paranoid tendency to keep your plans to yourself if this stems from fear that your intentions will be misunderstood. Whether or not you choose to take advantage of others is entirely up to you. There is an “all or nothing” quality to your nature.

You prefer that others see you as strong and in control. Allowing trusted people to see your more vulnerable qualities can take time.Your strong desire to make things happen through your own efforts can bring you much success. “What will be, will be” is certainly not your motto. However, this same quality can sometimes limit you, as you would benefit from more detachment and the discovery that some things can’t or shouldn’t happen just now.#At some point in your life you may feel that the gods or goddesses step in to impose changes on you.

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.
