For committed couples, Venus in Aquarius is like hitting the refresh button. It's time to remember why you 'added to cart' in the first place.

Mars
Mars is in Aquarius

Jupiter
Jupiter is in Taurus
Jupiter is prograde at 13 Tau 09' 32", moving at 0.19 degrees per day, and is 830198126km away and receding.
Like a cosmic burrito full of wisdom and patience, Jupiter is rolling itself into Taurus. The big guy of the zodiac, Jupiter is all about deep thoughts and expanding horizons, while Taurus... well, let's just say it enjoys a good couch and a Netflix binge. This cosmic combo is like your favorite nerdy professor teaming up with a couch potato, telling us that enlightenment is not some alien concept in a galaxy far, far away. It's actually chilling right here with us, in our sweatpants, watching "The Mandalorian" for the fifth time.
When Jupiter waltzes into Taurus, it's like the universe handing you a cosmic to-do list for your dreams. You'll feel a sudden urge to organize your ambitions, make spreadsheets, and color-code your plans. It's like that moment in the movie when the scientist finally cracks the code and the whole audience goes 'Aha!'. So, grab your space pens, earthlings! The time for action is now.
Hold onto your telescopes, because life might start raining dollar bills during this transit. Jupiter is like the fairy godmother of good luck, and Taurus, in its blingy style, loves wealth and prosperity. So, basically, it's a cosmic lottery ticket. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Or was it with great money comes great shopping? Well, either way, watch your wallets!
Now, Taurus can be a cheeky little hedonist, and Jupiter, in its grandeur, often amplifies whatever it touches. So, don't be surprised if you suddenly start mistaking desires for needs. Your inner Yoda might have to step in and remind you, "Patience you must have, my young Padawan". So, keep your impulses in check, and may the force be with you during this transit.
Saturn
Saturn is in Pisces
Saturn is prograde at 11 Pis 09' 47", moving at 0.12 degrees per day, and is 1599834546km away and approaching.
Hold onto your space helmets, stargazers! Saturn, the celestial taskmaster, has boldly gone where... well, where it's been before, but it's in Pisces now, and that's what counts. This is the equivalent of Captain Kirk finding himself at a cosmic yoga retreat. So, prepare to stretch your imagination into some metaphysical pretzel shapes!
Spock might dismiss our dreams as "illogical," but Saturn in Pisces is all about embracing those dreams, no matter how sci-fi they may seem. Have you been daydreaming about inventing a real-life transporter device or opening an intergalactic bed and breakfast? Well, it's time to put those plans into warp drive. Saturn in Pisces is here to coach us through those dreams, like a stern but supportive Vulcan parent.
Now, don't be surprised if you feel a bit like you're caught in a tractor beam. Saturn has a knack for shining a spotlight on our dreams, and it won't always feel comfortable. It's like having a surprise inspection by the Starfleet Command – nerve-wracking, yes, but also a chance to prove your mettle.
Remember, Pisces is the realm of dreams and unconscious, so if you're feeling a bit like you've been beamed up to the Enterprise during a red alert, don't panic. This may be a good time to embrace your inner hippie – meditate, take a moonlit walk on the holodeck, or just nap in your pod (with a dream journal on standby!).
So, settle in, space cadets. We're not in Kansas anymore... or any Earth-bound location for that matter. With Saturn in Pisces, we're in the final frontier of our subconscious. So, ready your mental starships and prepare to explore strange new worlds within.
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 54' 36", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 3006813108km away and receding.
Well, butter my biscuits and call me a stargazer! But it looks like our good ol' blue-green buddy Uranus is spinning its way into Taurus's living room. Now, if you know anything about Taurus, you'll know they're about as comfortable with change as a cat is with a cucumber. They'd rather stick to their cozy routine, thank you very much. But guess what, Taurus? Uranus didn’t RSVP, it just showed up!
Now, Uranus is the rebel of the galaxy, the cosmic punk rocker if you will. It's all about shaking things up and giving the status quo a nice swift kick in the asteroids. Taurus, on the other hand, is more akin to the neighborhood watch president, keeping things steady, predictable, and - dare I say - boring?
But hey, don't get your space suit in a twist! Just because Uranus is crashing your tea party doesn't mean it's the end of the universe. In fact, it could be the beginning of a whole new world!
Let's talk about money, honey! Taurus, you've been the cosmic CFO for eons, but now Uranus is here, and it's ready to disrupt your Excel spreadsheet. We might see some wild changes in the financial scene, both on Earth and in the intergalactic stock exchange. Who knows, we might even start trading in star dust or black hole futures instead of boring old cash and credit.
And it's not just about money, Taurus. Uranus is here to help us reconsider how we're possessed by our possessions. It's time to Marie Kondo your life, folks! If your collection of Star Trek memorabilia doesn't spark joy, out it goes.
So, buckle up space cowboys and cowgirls, Uranus isn't here to tip-toe around your petunias. It's here to rock your world and maybe, just maybe, help you find a new kind of stability in the beautiful chaos of the cosmos. Remember, even a black hole can lead to a whole new universe!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 07' 27", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4621031541km away and receding.
Pluto
Pluto is in Aquarius
Pluto is prograde at 01 Aqu 28' 14", moving at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5326248747km away and approaching.
Alright, folks, better buckle up and put your space helmets on because Pluto, the little icy planet that could, just rolled into Aquarius town! And oh boy, this is going to be one heck of a starry ride.
Now, when I say Pluto is in the business of transformation, I don't mean it's like getting a new haircut or swapping your sneakers for sandals. No, no, no. We're talking about a complete cosmic makeover here. It's like dying your hair purple, getting a mohawk, tattooing your entire body with constellations, and walking around in a Star Trek uniform kind of transformation. Pluto is the planet equivalent of a reality show makeover episode.
And when it teams up with Aquarius, the zodiac’s resident mad scientist, you can bet your last Star Wars action figure that we are headed for some serious change. Aquarius is all about progress and innovation, and coupled with Pluto's zest for transformation, it's like putting Spock and Captain Kirk together - expect some mind-blowing stuff!
We're talking revolutions in science and tech, quantum leaps in space travel, and maybe even teleportation if we're lucky. But remember folks, it's not all rocket ships and laser guns. It's also about a massive shift in our approach towards humanitarianism and civil rights. Imagine a world where politicians are as cooperative as the Avengers! Now that would be an alternate universe worth living in.
In our personal lives, this dynamic duo is prompting us to transform our perspectives. Think less "me, me, me" and more "us, us, us". Consider this: what if our first instinct was to think about the collective good rather than individual gain? What if we all started behaving like we are part of one big Starfleet, working towards a common goal? That's the kind of change Pluto in Aquarius is rooting for.
So, will we answer this interstellar call to arms? Or will we be stuck in our old ways, like a scratched DVD stuck on repeat? Only time, and the stars, will tell!
