Moon Is In Scorpio

Ladies and Gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts because the Moon, our celestial night light, is cruising at a cool 396,646.803397483km in the astrological fast lane of Scorpio. Oh yeah, baby! Things are about to get deep, mysterious and a little bit spicy - just like grandma's secret salsa recipe. Now, if you're not familiar with Scorpio, my star-loving friends, just imagine Darth Vader having a jam session with Sherlock Holmes. It's all about power, intellect, and a dash of drama. It's like a cosmic episode of "Game of Thrones" up there and we are all invited to watch it unfold. But don't get too comfy in your moonlit Scorpio saga because, in the next 24 hours, our lunar buddy is packing its bags and hitching a ride to Sagittarius. Yes, indeed! The moon is on the move faster than a politician changing their stance during an election year. So, what does this mean for you? Well, it's like when you switch from a deep, brooding movie to an adventure-filled blockbuster. Expect life to shift from intense emotionality to a desire for exploration, faster than you can say "Beam me up, Scotty!" So, buckle up, buttercups! It's time to ride this cosmic rollercoaster. The universe is playing a high-stakes game and we're all rolling the dice. But remember, no matter where the moon moves or how many kilometers are between us, always keep your sense of humor. After all, laughter is the best cosmic energy boost. And as they say in Star Trek, "Live long and prosper!" Or in our case, "Live weird and wander!" Keep stargazing, folks!

Mercury in Aries: Cosmic Red Bull

Listen up, star gazers! Mercury, that swift-footed messenger of the gods, is doing its retrograde samba in Aries, the cosmic Rambo. Now, if you're thinking this means your Wi-Fi will start acting like a sulky teenager, or your GPS will guide you to the North Pole instead of Home Depot, take a deep breath. It's not that kind of retrograde. This is more like an intellectual Red Bull, so buckle up!

Aries waits for no one, not even for its morning coffee. So, when Mercury parks its celestial posterior in this sign, we're talking about a mental sprint, not a leisurely stroll through the park. You'll find your brain refusing to linger on last week's crossword puzzle and instead, charging ahead like a caffeinated racehorse. But be warned! This isn't the time for slow-mo replays, folks.

Got something to say? Well, with Mercury in Aries, you'll be serving unfiltered truth tea whether people ordered it or not! This transit is like cosmic courage juice, so expect to blurt out everything, from your love for 80s disco to your not-so-secret opinion about your neighbor's yard gnomes. But beware, my friends - this verbal diarrhea comes with a price. Remember, diplomacy is not an alien concept. Use it when needed!

But hey, it's not all challenging. Mercury in Aries is like a brainstorming session on steroids. You're likely to have more lightbulb moments than Thomas Edison. But here's the catch - these nuggets of wisdom are like shooting stars: Blink and you miss 'em! So grab them before they vanish into the ether of forgotten thoughts.

In a nutshell, Mercury in Aries is like a blend of Sherlock's brain, Speedy Gonzales' speed and a dash of Hulk's tact. Strap in, folks. It's going to be a wild ride!

Venus

Venus Is In Aries

Alright, cosmic cadets, buckle up for a celestial rollercoaster ride as our lady Venus shimmies on into Aries. Think of this as if Venus decided to ditch her usual elegant gown and put on a superhero cape instead. She's ready to kick some asteroid...metaphorically speaking, of course. Now, remember those old, moth-eaten patterns in love? Well, they're about as welcome as a solar flare during your favorite sci-fi marathon. With Venus in Aries, it's time to boldly go where no lover has gone before. For those flying solo, this is the perfect time to recalibrate your cosmic compass towards self-love. And for those in co-pilot mode, try a bit of space exploration together. Trust me, nothing reignites the spark more than discovering new galaxies...or trying that weird exotic food from the food-truck around the corner! As for your financial horoscope, think of Venus in Aries as your permission slip to splurge on a new lightsaber or a shiny costume for Comic-Con. But be careful, my fellow nerds, because just like too much caffeine can make you jittery, too much spending can leave you with a black hole in your wallet. So, in a nutshell, Venus in Aries isn't about writing sonnets to your beloved or planning for retirement. It's more like a cosmic game of "Punch Buggy" where you gotta seize the moment, grab the joy stick, and enjoy the ride. So, get out there and conquer the universe! Just don't forget to pack a towel. And remember, what happens in Aries, stays in Aries...unless it's broadcasted across the cosmos, then all bets are off!

Mars

Mars is in Pisces

Mars is prograde at 25 Pis 50' 39", moving at 0.77 degrees per day, and is 298924901km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Pisces

Great Scott! Buckle up your astrological seatbelts, folks, because Mars - yes, that red, dusty chap who's always about 309 million kilometers away (give or take a few thousand clicks) - has packed his bags and taken up a temporary residence in Pisces! This is no ordinary transit, my friends! When the cosmic soldier of drive and energy dips his boots into the ethereal waters of Pisces, it's not like we're going to lose our motivation and start daydreaming about alien civilizations and time travel. Well, not entirely, at least. Mars in Pisces is akin to a neutron star - you might not see it coming, but oh boy, does it have the power to move celestial mountains! It's as if we've been handed a cosmic green light (no, not kryptonite) directing us to charge our energy into inspired action. While Mars is in this water sign, it's like having a fusion reactor powering a rainbow-colored VW bus. The fiery planet gets a chance to flex its muscles gently, express itself in more creative ways, and channel its might for a higher purpose. This is the perfect time to dust off that old canvas and let your inner Picasso loose, or maybe lead a peace march to save the Dodo birds. Okay, I know they are extinct, but you get the point! However, remember, with great cosmic power comes great cosmic responsibility. Mars traveling through Pisces can be a bit like piloting a DeLorean at 88 miles per hour - you need to have a clear destination in mind. Otherwise, you might just end up in a wild west situation, or worse, the ice age! The universal touch of Pisces often stirs the dormant artist within us. It reminds us that expressions can extend beyond ordinary communication, much like how flux capacitors go beyond ordinary automobile parts. So, while Mars is out there doing its cosmic waltz through Pisces, let's take a leap of faith and dive into the unknown, transcending the boundaries of our mundane perspectives. After all, where we're going, we don't need roads!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 22 Tau 47' 20", moving at 0.23 degrees per day, and is 891866323km away and receding.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Hey there, cosmic wanderer! Let's chat about Jupiter in Taurus, shall we? Now, I know you're thinking "Jupiter in Taurus, that's only a mere 872208998.624596596km away!" and yes, you'd be right. Don't worry, though - it's not like we need to hop on the Millennium Falcon and jet off to check it out (though that would be a pretty nifty field trip). Ah, Jupiter, our big gassy friend of the cosmos, currently twirling around in a prograde motion (that's astro-nerd talk for moving in the same direction as the stars). It's literally bringing wisdom to the bull-headed Taurus. So, imagine, if you will, Yoda riding a bull. That’s the kind of energy we're dealing with here. Remember how Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together." Well, replace "The Force" with "spirituality," and you'll get the gist of what Jupiter in Taurus is about. It's like having your own personal Jedi training, encouraging you to use your inner wisdom to tackle those long-standing dreams. You'll find yourself making to-do lists like you're planning the ultimate rebel attack and methodically conquering each task. Trust me, Luke Skywalker didn't blow up the Death Star overnight. Now, let's talk about Galactic Credits, or as you Earthlings call it, money. With Jupiter in Taurus, it's like having Lando Calrissian, the smoothest dude in the galaxy, guiding your financial decisions. You've got Jupiter's good luck and Taurus' knack for wealth accumulation working together like Han and Chewie in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. But beware, young Padawan! Taurus is a bit of a Jabba the Hutt when it comes to indulgence, and Jupiter can inflate that tendency like a puffer pig. Don't let your wants warp into needs faster than the Kessel Run. So strap in, grab your astrological blaster, and prepare for a cosmic adventure, because with Jupiter in Taurus, it's going to be like a hyperdrive journey through a galaxy of wisdom, patience, and prosperity. May the Force be with you!

Saturn Is In Pisces

Beam Me Up, Saturn!

Okay, folks, strap in and put your space helmets on, because Saturn is hovering in Pisces. It's like the universe's version of a grumpy grandpa visiting a psychedelic fish tank. It's not just about getting starry-eyed over the nebulae though, no, Saturn is doing some cosmic housekeeping at a whopping 1,576,278,394.181507826km away. And yes, you guessed right! The old fella's gone prograde on us. We’re talking full-on forward motion.

Now, when Saturn, our celestial taskmaster, meets Pisces, the dreamy, artsy guru of the zodiac, it's like Spock meeting a Vulcan mind-meld with Picasso. It’s time to take those daydreams of yours, you know the ones where you're writing a bestselling novel or running a successful business, and give them a Vulcan salute.

This cosmic combo is here to ensure that your dreams don't just end up as beautiful supernovae in the cosmos of your mind. They want you to get off your asteroid and make things happen. You might need to draft a business plan, draw up a budget, or beam yourself up to the bank for a loan.

Now, I won’t lie to you, Saturn in Pisces isn't always a leisurely cruise on the USS Enterprise. Saturn might be the unwelcome guest who questions your most cherished dreams, but remember, the Captain doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Instead of putting up shields and firing photon torpedoes, why not let Saturn in and listen to what it has to say? After all, this cosmic old-timer has seen more than a few star systems in its day.

With Saturn in Pisces, you might find yourself feeling like you've been beamed up to the sleepless realms of insomnia. Your usual 8-hour stasis chamber sleep might seem as elusive as a Romulan cloaking device. But fear not, my starfleet! This is the perfect time to cultivate some much-needed inner peace. Meditate, take a stroll through your local holodeck forest, or simply breathe like you’re on a vacation in the oxygen-rich atmosphere of an unexplored M-class planet.

Remember, this cosmic event is all about listening to the wisdom that the universe has to offer. So, put your tr

Uranus Is In Taurus

Alrighty, folks! Strap in and hang on to your space helmets because the cosmic roller coaster is about to take off. Now, I know you're probably thinking, "What's this nerdy astrologer rambling about?" Well, let me tell you - Uranus is in Taurus, which is like blending a stubborn bull with a chaotic disco ball. Intriguing, isn't it? Now, let's start with the basics. Uranus is currently about 3054535215.476837635km away, doing its little prograde dance in the sky. That might sound far, but in the grand scheme of things, it's practically our cosmic neighbor. So, what does this mean for us? Brace yourself for some astronomical humor because it's going to be a "Uranus-shaking" experience! Taurus - they're the ones who love their comfort zone, aren't they? They'd rather binge-watch an entire series than risk missing an episode due to power failure. But here comes Uranus, the celestial equivalent of a power surge, ready to disrupt that marathon. The old ways of doing things are going out the window. It's time to adapt and evolve, my friends. It's like when they introduced the microwave - you might have been skeptical at first, but now you can't imagine life without it. But hold on to your telescopes, because it gets juicier. Taurus is all about the moolah. So, with Uranus entering the scene, we're looking at a complete makeover of our financial landscape. Imagine waking up one day and finding out that bitcoins are the new quarters. Banks may be reshaped, stock markets might jitterbug, and your piggy bank could become a thing of the past. On the personal front, Uranus in Taurus is like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to declutter our financial and material lives. Debt, taxes, credit card interests - all these can feel like black holes sucking up your happiness particles. But now's the time to break free. It's like switching from a rickety old spaceship to a shiny new star cruiser. Resisting won't help because Uranus is here with its liberating energy, ready to beam us up to a life of greater stability. So, there you have it. We're in for a ride that's going to be more thrilling than the last season of Babylon 5. Get ready for some changes, because Uranus in Taurus is about to shake

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 28 Pis 45' 06", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4592692034km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, well, well, if it isn't Neptune, that big blue ball of mystery, making a grand entrance into Pisces. Now, if you're picturing a huge planet swimming around in a celestial fish tank, you wouldn't be entirely wrong, metaphorically speaking. Most importantly, for those who are not space geeks like yours truly, this means we are entering a time of deep spiritual and emotional introspection. Time to turn on your inner emo-goth playlist, friends. The fusion of Pisces' penchant for feelings and Neptune’s passion for unity is like a cosmic spotlight cutting through a foggy night. It's as if the universe is suddenly saying, "Hey, look at all these pesky differences between us. They're about as important as a single speck of dust on a supernova. So, let's just get along, yeah?" This cosmic alignment is like a celestial group therapy session, encouraging us to think about what we can bring to the table for our collective progress. And no, your famous guacamole recipe doesn't count. We're talking bigger picture here. What are your unique gifts, ideas, and dreams? It's time to unleash them and explore your emotional intelligence. Now, I'm not saying you should start a cult or anything, but this would be an excellent time to delve deeper into spiritual paths that resonate with you. Perhaps you could create a sacred space at home, something more than just your cherished spot on the couch. Fiddle around with some incense, light a few candles, whip out those old yoga mats. Neptune in Pisces is an open invitation to connect with what feels most sacred and share these experiences with the world. So, put on your best hippie attire, embrace your inner nerd, and remember: the universe has got your back. Or more accurately, it's got your entire existence. But hey, who's counting kilometers?

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Pluto In Aquarius: The Ultimate Cosmic Face-Off

Picture this: Pluto, the wee 'planet' (we're still salty about that downgrade, aren't we?) with a heart-shaped surface feature, is hanging out in Aquarius, the sign of the water-bearer. Now, before you start picturing Pluto getting a nice splash from Aquarius' jug, remember, Aquarius is an air sign. So, no, Pluto is not getting a much-needed bath.

Pluto, the celestial equivalent of that one intense friend who always insists on deep, existential conversations at 2 AM, is all about transformation. And not just the "Oh, I think I'll cut bangs" kind, but the "I'm going to reevaluate my entire life, quit my job, and move to a Tibetan monastery" kind. Pluto doesn't do things by halves, folks.

Meanwhile, Aquarius is the sign of progress, innovation, and the odd science experiment gone wrong (or right, depending on your perspective). When these two get together, it's like a sci-fi movie plot: expect the unexpected, and then multiply it by ten.

We're talking radical shifts in science, technology, and even space travel. Who knows, maybe teleportation will finally be a thing during this transit? A girl can dream! But it's not just about cool gadgets and warp speed; it's also about humanity. This transit could see us becoming more compassionate, more empathetic, and more inclined to work together for the betterment of all.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is the cosmic kick in the pants we need to change how we view ourselves and our place in the world. Instead of being self-focused, it's time to think about what's best for all. Basically, it's about becoming more like Mr. Spock and less like Sheldon Cooper.

So, are you ready for this cosmic shake-up? Because like it or not, Pluto in Aquarius is here, and it's about to make things a whole lot more interesting!

The Sun

Sun Square Pluto

Power struggles may be likely today. You may encounter others who try to force their will on you or others who resent feeling as if you are forcing your ego on them. Try to compromise and find a balance. Transformation can come about if you are open to change and if you can keep your ego from becoming all-encompassing. Today may be an intense day. Control your arrogance and your domineering attitudes. Be reasonable.People born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around!One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavors. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires!Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis.These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun-Pluto in hard aspect are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favor by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves.Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.Famous people with Sun in hard aspect to Pluto: Squares – Wynonna Judd (Sun square Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto), Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field; Oppositions – Muhammad Ali, Robert Duvall, John Travolta, Elvis Presley, Steve Allen, John Hurt, James Earl Jones; Oppositions – Nicole Brown Simpson, R.D. Laing, Maya Angelou, Jeffrey Archer, Brooke Shields, Margaret Thatcher, Steffi Graf, Barbra Streisand, Farrah Fawcett.

Mars

Mars Conjunct Neptune

Do you feel a little spacey today? Is your imagination running away with you? Great! Take that energy and direct it into something constructive like writing or creative visualization. Let your imagination take you into new areas of thought and possibilities. Put energy into making your dreams a reality. Don't waste time fantasizing, make something happen. Finish that art project, complete the painting you've been meaning to finish, read that metaphysical book you've been wanting to start/finish. Watch for someone playing on your sympathies. Do not be taken in by every sob story you hear today. Get the facts. Help someone less fortunate if you are able. Visit a sick friend and cheer them up.Your approach to the world is unusual, indirect, and even roundabout with Mars in conjunction to Neptune. You have an easy, likeable charm, and this can be your downfall if you’re not careful! In youth, you might find that you attach yourself to the image that others have created for you–the good guy, the easygoing person, the nice guy. As you go along, you might discover that it’s easy to get out of sticky situations with this image in place, and you might resort to lies and tricks in order to come out looking good and “smelling like roses”. Another problem is that lies or tall tales are easy for you–your imagination is tremendous, your fantasy life is rich, and you somehow are likeable enough to get away with deceit. The challenge in your life should be to either live up to the image of the good guy, or to break free from it in small ways in order to avoid getting caught up in a web of deception.You tend to act impulsively and yet you don’t always take complete responsibility for your actions! It is difficult for you to plan ahead, and therefore your judgment is sometimes cloudy. This leaves much in your life to chance, or fate, and makes it difficult for you to have total control over your life. Learn to look very carefully before you leap and to examine every situation from a realistic point of view.Because you have a magnetic personality, others are drawn to you and seek the pleasure of your company. Your active imagination is fascinating and inspiring to others. In love relationships you may suffer repeated disappointments until you learn to see your partner more realistically. You tend to look at loved ones through rose-colored glasses, seeing only the parts of their personality that you want to see. This may seem quite pleasant at the time, but it also sets you up for future disappointment when your loved one cannot live up to your idealistic expectations.Even if you are astute about most people and situations, when you are personally involved it can be hard to see clearly. By all means, be sure to deal with others honestly and to demand that they do so in return. Be cautious in choosing whom you will confide in and be sure to keep your friends’ confidences to yourself as well. It is advised with this aspect that you deal with drugs (prescription and otherwise) with great caution. Take good care of your health; you are more prone to infection than others, and practicing safe sex will be especially important for you. You are more a lover than a fighter, you have rich fantasies, and you are a most sensitive and imaginative lover. Your ‘ideal partner makes you feel completely special, and doesn’t bring past lovers into conversations in your bed. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.Some Famous People with Mars conjunct Neptune: William Blake (Mars conjunct Neptune in Leo), Napoleon Bonaparte (in Virgo), Sylvia Browne (in Virgo), Carol Burnett (in Virgo), Albert Camus (in Cancer), Bill Clinton (in Libra), Morgan Fairchild (in Libra), Peter Gabriel (in Libra), John Gray (in Libra), Robert Guillaume (in Virgo), Quincy Jones (in Virgo), Evel Knievel (in Virgo), Michael Landon (in Virgo), Janet Leigh (in Leo), Vivian Leigh (in Cancer), John Lennon (Mars in early Libra conjunct Neptune in late Virgo), John Malkovich (in Libra), Howie Mandel (in Scorpio), Jayne Mansfield (in Virgo), Charles Manson (in Virgo), Yoko Ono (in Virgo), Carl Sagan (in Virgo), Erik Satie (in Aries), Cybill Shepherd (in Libra), Mark Spitz (in Libra), Richard Strauss (in Aries).
