During this stellar soiree, flights of fancy and daydreams are replaced by a newfound appreciation for concrete values and practical perspectives.

Alright, Earthlings! Listen up, because your favorite intergalactic astrologer is here to tell you that Venus is currently in Cancer - and if you thought the movie was intense, just wait until you experience this cosmic combo. With Venus a mere 117,339,649.339018911 km away (just a hop, skip, and a jump for us Predators), it's time to channel your inner alien and prepare for some out-of-this-world love and nurturing.

When Venus, the cosmic queen of sensitivity, teams up with Cancer, the zodiac's ultimate nurturer, it's like an interstellar rom-com waiting to happen. So grab your popcorn and get ready for some serious cuddle sessions, heart-to-heart talks, and maybe even a little Netflix and chill with your favorite extraterrestrial. If you've been stuck in a dating black hole or dealing with commitment-phobic earthlings, this celestial pairing could bring a welcome change to your love life.

Feeling the urge to phone home? Expect your inner E.T. to emerge as family and home life take center stage during this transit.

Your friendships and romantic relationships may become more emotionally charged than a scene from Stranger Things.

Embrace the vulnerability brought on by this cosmic connection and let your heart open wider than the jaws of an Alien queen. By doing so, you'll not only attract and give love more easily but also prove that even the fiercest Predators can find their softer side in the vast universe of emotion.

Mars Is In Leo

Ahoy, cosmic adventurers! Captain Jack Harkness here, and have I got news for you. Mars - that fiery, red planet of passion and action - has decided to waltz its way into the heart of the Lion's den, Leo! Now, I know what you're thinking: "Captain Jack, with 292,369,903.519022405 km between us and Mars, should I even care?" Well, my scientifically-inclined friends, indeed you should! You see, when Mars gallivants into Leo's territory, it's like a cosmic permission slip to let loose, find your groove, and embrace the wilder side of life. It's time to unleash your inner hippie and follow your heart, man! Now, I'm not saying throw all caution to the wind and start chasing after every shiny object in sight. No, no, no! But with Mars in Leo, it's a fantastic opportunity to tap into that creative, passionate energy that's been hiding under your lab coat. "But Captain Jack," you might ask, "what about overconfidence? Surely, there must be consequences!" And you'd be right, my astute astrological aficionados. While Mars in Leo can make us feel like we're invincible space captains (ahem), it's essential to remember that we still need to put in the work to reap the rewards. Leo may be a natural-born performer, but without substance, it's just an empty show. And speaking of shows, Mars in Leo has a flair for the dramatic. It's all too easy to get swept up in the quest for attention and adoration, only to end up in some intergalactic soap opera. So try to keep your roar in check - we don't want any unnecessary supernovas, now do we? As we navigate this cosmic dance with Mars and Leo, let's take a moment to ponder the role our egos play in our lives. Are we letting pride lift us up or weigh us down? Use this planetary alignment as a chance to find balance, and remember: it's not about being the center of the universe, but rather, finding your place within it. So, buckle up, stargazers! It's time to blast off into the great unknown with Mars in Leo as our cosmic co-pilot. Let's make the most of this celestial journey and embrace our inner lion - heart, courage, and all. And remember, in the wise words of a certain time-traveling captain: "

Jupiter In Taurus: A Galactic Stand-up Special

Alright, folks, gather 'round because I've got some cosmic news for you! Jupiter, that big ball of wisdom up in the sky, has decided to bunk with Taurus, our favorite stubborn space bull. Now, what does this mean for all of us earthlings? Well, let me tell you, it's like having Einstein and a Zen master join forces to create the ultimate cosmic life coach.

With Jupiter in Taurus, we've got a chance to tap into our inner Yoda and make some real progress on those dreams we've been storing in the back of our mental closet. You know, the ones collecting dust next to your collection of vintage Star Wars action figures. This transit is all about making to-do lists and checking them off one by one, like a space-age Santa Claus on a productivity spree.

Now, life can get pretty prosperous when these two celestial giants team up. Picture Jupiter as the cosmic Oprah, handing out good luck and fortune left and right, while Taurus brings the cha-ching! So, my fellow stargazers, now's the time to take a hard look at your financial standings and see where you can grow your wealth faster than you can say "Beam me up, Scotty!"

But wait, there's a catch! Taurus is also a sign that loves the finer things in life, like a five-star meal on a zero-gravity space station. When Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meets our luxurious space bull, we might find ourselves indulging a little too much. So, during this transit, it's crucial to practice self-control and not blow all our newly acquired space bucks on an intergalactic shopping spree.

In conclusion, my fellow astro-nerds, Jupiter in Taurus is like a cosmic invitation to dig deep, get our hands dirty, and uncover the hidden wisdom within us. So, let's embrace this opportunity, keep our impulses in check, and reach for the stars (or at least that long-term goal we've been eyeing). May the force be with you!

Interstellar Surf's Up, Dude! Saturn Takes a Dive in the Pisces Ocean

Whoa, my cosmic comrades! Saturn, the groovy grandmaster of rules, is making a splash in the mystical waters of Pisces. As we catch this gnarly wave, it's time to take a deep breath, grab your spiritual surfboard, and ride this cosmic current towards inner clarity. Like, imagine Wall-E asking EVE out on a date, but with way more planetary responsibility, man.

As Saturn hangs ten in Pisces, it's the raddest opportunity to channel your inner Einstein and ponder those daydreams you've been stashing away. You know, like starting that eco-friendly, solar-powered, vegan taco stand, or finally writing that sci-fi novel about quantum surfing aliens. Grab your favorite notepad, 'cause Saturn and Pisces are about to drop some knowledge bombs and transform your dreams into reality.

But hey, man, don't expect this cosmic cruise to be all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes Saturn in Pisces feels like your dad barging into your room just when you're in the middle of your meditation sesh. You might wanna throw up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, but trust me, it's better to just open the door and let Saturn's fatherly wisdom flow in. He may be a bit of a buzzkill, but he's got some seriously solid advice for turning your dreams into reality.

So, as we surf the astral waves with Saturn in Pisces, remember to catch some Z's, dude! With all this spiritual energy flowing around, you might find yourself tossing and turning at night. Counter that by winding down with some meditation, taking a leisurely walk through a forest, or simply breathing deeply. And hey, why not hit the hay a little early, too? Just make sure you've got a dream journal by your side - you never know what far-out visions you'll have during this cosmic voyage!

So, my fellow space travelers, hang onto your hats and strap on your moon boots. As we embark on this interstellar adventure with Saturn in Pisces, remember to stay open to the lessons and wisdom of the universe. After all, we're all just stardust surfing the cosmic waves together, man.

Uranus In Taurus: A Voyage Through the Financial Frontier

Alright, my cosmic crew, gather 'round the briefing room table, because we're about to embark on a seven-year mission where no bull-headed Taurus has gone before! With Uranus in Taurus, we're looking at a warp-speed journey through a financial revolution that'll make the Delta Quadrant look like a cozy holodeck simulation.

You see, my Earth-loving Taurians, you may have a penchant for the stable life, but our buddy Uranus - let's call it the cosmic "Q" of our zodiac storyline - is all about shaking things up. And frankly, some of your old ways of handling money are about as outdated as a 24th-century tricorder. So, buckle up and engage those inertial dampeners, because we're in for a bumpy ride!

As we navigate this Uranian wormhole, we might witness the birth of new currencies that'll make those shiny gold-pressed latinum bars look like arcade tokens. Traditional banking? Ha! Brace yourselves for a total financial system reboot that could turn your friendly neighborhood bank into a relic of the past, like a VHS tape or a flip phone.

And don't even get me started on the housing and stock markets. Remember that time Voyager crash-landed on that mysterious Class M planet? Well, that's nothing compared to the shake-up we're about to experience.

But fear not, my dear astro-explorers! On a personal level, this Uranus transit is just the cosmic deflector dish adjustment we need to break free from the financial black holes of debt, taxes, and interest rates. It's time to say "beam me up" to a new relationship with money and material possessions.

Resistance is futile, my friends. The cosmic winds of change are here, and no amount of hailing frequencies will change that. But if we boldly go where our Taurus hearts have never gone before, embracing the Uranian revolution, we might just find ourselves on a stable course to a more prosperous and fulfilling future.

So, energize, fellow stargazers! Let's embark on this financial frontier together and make it so!

Greetings, cosmic comrades! Let me introduce you to our groovy celestial buddy, Neptune, who's currently chilling in the dreamy sign of Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Dude, Neptune is like 4.53 billion kilometers away, how's that gonna affect my vibes?" Well, buckle up, space cadets, because we're about to dive into the nebulicious world of astrological enlightenment! Neptune in Pisces is like an intergalactic fog machine that transforms ordinary life into an ethereal rave party. It's like your third eye just found itself a pair of psychedelic glasses and can suddenly see that we're all just cosmic dust particles floating through the universe, man. So, why waste our energy on trivial matters when we could be joining forces for the greater good? This celestial combo is knocking on your consciousness like an eager extraterrestrial salesperson, offering you a once-in-a-lifetime deal to level up your emotional intelligence. It's the perfect time to explore spiritual paths more mysterious than the dark side of the moon or create a sacred space in your home that even Yoda would be proud of. And you know what they say – sharing is caring! Neptune in Pisces doesn't want you to keep all those far-out insights to yourself. It's time to channel your inner Carl Sagan and communicate your cosmic wisdom with the world. Remember, this planetary party won't last forever, so ride the wave of Neptunian energy while it's still in town. So, in conclusion, my fellow stargazers: embrace the mystical powers of Neptune in Pisces, and let's all unite to create a more harmonious and interstellar reality. Peace, love, and cosmic hugs!

Pluto in Aquarius: Hasta la Vista, Baby!

Greetings, Earthlings! I come bearing news from the cosmic beyond. Pluto, the little dwarf planet that could, is currently in Aquarius, and it's time to say "Hasta la vista, baby!" to life as we know it. With Pluto being a whopping 5,114,909,701.910358429 kilometers away (give or take a few meters), you might think it's got nothing to do with us. But oh boy, are you wrong!

Pluto, our resident celestial terminator, is all about transformation. And I'm not talking about swapping your Birkenstocks for sneakers; we're talking soul-shaking, identity-shedding, mind-bending metamorphosis. Combine that with Aquarius, the zodiac's progressive powerhouse, and we're in for some serious sci-fi-style changes, my friends.

So, what can we expect during this planetary playdate? Well, for starters, a quantum leap in science, technology, and space travel. Don't be surprised if Elon Musk starts building condos on Mars or we discover new dimensions while binge-watching Stranger Things. But wait, there's more! Pluto in Aquarius is also here to revolutionize civil rights and humanitarianism. The outcasts and rebels will rise, the powerful will learn to play nice, and empathy will become the coolest thing since sliced bread.

In our personal lives, it's time to embrace our inner Schwarzenegger and terminate those pesky self-centered thoughts. Pluto in Aquarius is here to remind us that working together is the key to unlocking a brighter future for all. So let's ditch the "me, myself, and I" mentality and start asking, "What can I do for you?" After all, the fate of the world is at stake, and we can't afford to miss this cosmic call to action.

So, fellow Earth dwellers, it's time to buckle up, embrace change, and get ready for a wild ride. With Pluto in Aquarius, there's no turning back now. But don't worry, I'll be back with more astrological updates, because I'm programmed to protect your future. Terminator out!

The Sun

The Sun

Sun Sextile Mars

You have great vitality and energy today. You know your goals, you have made your plans, now take charge. People in stations above you can be impressed now with the initiative you show. Actions speak louder than words, so get busy.People born with flowing aspects between the Sun and Mars are generally enterprising. They have powerful stores of energy that they can draw upon when needed. These people respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. They are naturally competitive, and this trait is generally well-received by others simply because it is unforced, unaffected, and sincere. These people truly believe in fair play, and they seem to be in love with life. When they are expressing competitiveness and courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive ones rather than being rubbed the wrong way. These people generally have good physical vitality.It is interesting to note that these people are not naturally combative. Many enjoy sports or games that are competitive, but not violent. Breaking the rules of a competitive game is particularly upsetting to those with Sun in easy aspect to Mars. This is largely due to the fact that the will (Sun) is connected to the desire nature (Mars) in a pleasing manner, so that the natives are more able than most to control their desires, aggressions, and instincts. They know how to be fair, and they expect others to be fair. As such, sneaky behaviors, uncontrolled impulses, violence, and rage are offensive to them. They know how to direct and control their own impulses and desire natures, and they fully expect others to be able to do so!The main difference between the sextile and trine of the Sun and Mars: The trine is a more natural energy. Those with Sun trine Mars naturally and without thought are courageous and enterprising. Those with Sun sextile Mars have the opportunity to draw upon their courageous and enterprising spirit, but effort is required to pull these energies out of themselves and to apply these energies in their lives. With the trine, the characteristics of Sun-Mars come so naturally that the natives may not even realize just how much endurance, confidence, and enthusiasm they possess. Because the sextile requires some effort and thought, those with Sun sextile Mars often have many creative tools at their disposal, and they can be effective strategists and leaders.Some Famous People with Sun sextile or trine Mars: Angelina Jolie, Neil Armstrong (the first man to step on the Moon), George Lucas, Warren Beatty, Donald Trump, Robert Pattinson.Sun sextile Mars: Energetic, enthusiastic, (and at times) very combative, you have a way of getting to your goal. You enjoy the contest of others trying to stop you. Your creative energies flow very strong when you are opposed. — Interpretation from our In-Depth Profile report.Sun sextile Mars: For most children with this harmonious Sun/Mars aspect, will and desire work hand in hand. It’s probably easy for your child to work with those in authority: parents, teachers, elders. She enjoys working with others and would make a good manager. An interest (and ability) in athletics, exercise (working with the physical body), the outdoors and such, should be lifelong. Another form this could take is training or coaching others. Your child could have a natural ability to express herself and to handle emotions. She may also like to perform. A career in one of the entertainment industries is a possibility. This position also favors police work. Because Mom and Dad supported her as a child, your child is confident of success as an adult. — Interpretation from the Child Star report (Girl).Sun sextile Mars: You have abundant physical vitality and little hesitancy in using it. You are always on the move. Your aims and purposes, being direct and clear and animated by a good physical equipment, carry you to success. You are forceful, hard-hitting, aggressive, knowing where you stand and where you are going. You wear out less energetic souls by the speed and continuous level of your activities, for you are seemingly tireless and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest when it comes to matters of endurance. Since a good deal of the success of this world in material matters depends on physical vitality, you have an edge on competitors. You are an excellent leader not so much of thought as of action (unless Mercury is powerful) and frequently choose the army or navy as your field of activity, where you speedily rise to authority; or business, where you won’t long stay in a subordinate position. You overwhelm people, and they naturally give way to you. If you also have Moon square or opposite Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Venus, or Mercury conjunct, square, or opposition Saturn, or Mercury conjunct Uranus, or Mercury conjunct Neptune: This occurs with strong intellectual and creative bents. You are a leader of thought and a powerful personality. — Interpretation from the Heaven Knows What report.Sun sextile Mars: One of your strengths is your high level of physical vitality and energy. You are an ACTION person, a doer, a go-getter, and you can pack more activity into a day than most people do in a week. You enjoy fighting the good fight, taking on challenges with relish, and you are inherently quite competitive but not in a way that provokes anger or fierce opposition from others. Because in the past you have succeeded in achieving your goals, you now have an inner expectation of success and of being a winner, a natural self-confidence that you draw on without even thinking about it. You have developed many positive “masculine” qualities, such as courage, will power and the ability to take initiative. You tend to be a leader without having to struggle or coerce others into accepting your authority. Occasionally, however, you may overpower other people without realizing it, since they may not have the energy resources that you do. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.

Sun Square Saturn

You may become involved in conflicts between your need for self-expression and your duties to others. The key is to find a balance. You may tend to be selfish today and many problems can be alleviated by thinking of others first. A feeling of loneliness may come upon you today, but it's probably just that, a feeling. It's not the true state of things. Do your duty, meet your obligations, then you have every right to start thinking of yourself.Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Saturn face a fair number of challenges in their lives, especially in the first half of life, in which their attempts to express their will are thwarted. There can be a persistent feeling that they don’t get what they want more often than other people around them. They can feel unlucky. Attempts to control their environment, and sometimes others, may be frequent.These people fear their own feelings of inadequacy! They want to be considered accomplished and important people, and when they face obstacles, they don’t always want to believe that they are their own worst enemy. They long to be considered important in the eyes of the world, yet they harbor fear of success at the same time. They take failures and minor setbacks to heart, and some practically beat themselves up over them. Self-awareness to the point of real self-consciousness is characteristic of Sun-Saturn challenging aspects. The truth is, nobody holds a microscope over them, except for themselves. A little setback or a faux pas needn’t be analyzed to death. Fingers needn’t be pointed. No, they didn’t make a spectacle of themselves when they made a mistake. They need to stop worrying about always being right, or appearing suave and accomplished. When they ease the pressure they put on themselves, they find that they don’t face as many brick walls. It is very much about what they feel they deserve. Deep down inside, if they let themselves truly believe that they deserve happiness and peace of mind, they will find it.When Saturn is closely connected to a personal planet, there is usually an effect of censoring going on with whatever is ruled by the planet it joins by aspect. For example, with the Moon, which rules emotions, the natives feel the need to censor their emotions and feelings, scanning them for what is thought to be frivolous. With Saturn and the Sun, there is much self-censoring going on. “I shouldn’t..” is a common censoring mechanism with these people. They feel they shouldn’t want too much. When they express egotism of any form, some part of them feels guilty. As the Sun rules our conscious mind, it does enough censoring on its own. It is the “adult” within us. Saturn, on the other hand, is more like the “parent” within us. We need parents to guide us when we are children, and to some degree as adults, but for the most part, we don’t need to be censored indefinitely–something that seems to be the case with Saturn-Sun hard aspects, except that the censoring and parenting is coming from within.Ideally, these people eventually learn that the standards they set for themselves are too high, and that may be the reason they seem to hit brick walls. They recognize that many of the restrictions they face in life are often self-created, born of a defeatist attitude. They should be aware of the tendency to choose the hardest paths to travel and/or to deny themselves some of life’s pleasures. Working on recognizing and managing these tendencies will help them to avoid the pitfalls of this combination. These people have a sarcastic sense of humor, a keen intelligence, and the ability to apply caution and strategy. The vitality may suffer, and troubles with the bones, teeth, and circulation may surface.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Saturn: Squares – Harry Belafonte, Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Salvador Dali, Marilyn Manson, Oprah Winfrey, Salvador Dali, Virginia Woolf, Ben Stiller, Alec Guiness. Oppositions – Jim Morrison, Charlie Sheen, Kurt Russell.

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.

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. Sometimes you over-extend yourself or promise more than you can actually achieve, due to an overly optimistic or overly confident assessment of your own capacities. You relish healthy competition and feel that it spurs you on to even greater achievements.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report – Your spiritual interaction with other people is generally quite fortunate in nature.

However, this may lead to overconfidence or inflated expectations later on. In your work you are apt to be an overachiever with an overemphasis on physical and/or sexual adventure.

You may try to inflict your religious or cultural beliefs on others at this time or they on you. This can be a transit of religious fanaticism. Your desire to reform others may be accompanied by your neglect to improve yourself. There may be radical changes in your religious beliefs. Conflict may arise over financial matters involving taxes, insurance or legacies. Don't take on anything in which you haven't laid the proper foundations. Pride and arrogance may bring your downfall. Your enemies may come out of the woodwork under this transit. Make sure all your dealings are above reproach.

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.
