The Sun

Solar decreased to low levels. Region 3796 (S04W68, Dsi/beta-gamma) produced a C3.8 flare at 28/0133 UTC while exhibiting signs of slight decay in its trailing spots. Regions 3799 (S11W30, Cko/beta-gamma) and 3800 (S27W46,Ehi/beta-gamma) were relatively quiet and stable. Region 3806 (S10E68, Dao/beta) was numbered this period as it began to rotate into view on the eastern limb. However, the majority of the notable activity came from just beyond the eastern limb. This included a C6.9 flare at 28/1804 UTC, which was the largest of the period, and a large prominence eruption that began at approximately 28/0324 UTC. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently normal.

The solar wind environment was reflective of transient influences. Total field was enhanced and reached a peak of 18 nT. The Bz component was mostly southward at -10 to -15 nT during the first half of the period. Solar wind speeds averaged around 313 km/s, outside of a few noisy data points. Phi was variable during the beginning of the period, but then became mostly negative for the remainder of the period.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 40% chance of a minor event, a 10% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Cancer

Greetings, celestial wanderers! Buckle up, because we're about to take a cosmic ride. The moon, our beloved night-light, is currently chilling in the constellation of Cancer. Yep, the big cheese is lounging around in the celestial crab's house, about 398042.838955275km away. I know, I know... it's not exactly a stone's throw away, is it? Now, you're probably wondering, "What does that mean for me?" Well, dear stargazer, it means that you might be feeling a bit crabby. You may even find yourself with a sudden urge to retreat into your shell or pinch someone for taking the last piece of cake. Don't worry, that’s just the cosmic crustacean influence, not a sudden desire for baked goods and minor violence. In the next 24 hours, the moon will be packing its lunar suitcase and moving on over to Leo. So, you've got about a day to enjoy this shell-ter in place situation. After that, get ready to roar! We're moving from sea-side crab shack to the jungle of the king of beasts. Remember, my fellow space nerds, the universe is like a giant game of pinball. Sometimes you’re the ball, bouncing around from sign to sign, other times you’re the flipper, sending cosmic energy out into the world. So, whether you're feeling crabby or lion-hearted, keep an open mind, a sense of humor, and always wear your seatbelt on this cosmic rollercoaster ride. Until next time, keep looking up!

Mercury

Mercury is in Leo

Mercury is prograde at 21 Leo 25' 07", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 112971449km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Leo

Alright space cadets, strap in and hold onto your horoscopes because our celestial speedster, Mercury, is doing a victory lap in the fiery realm of Leo. This cosmic combo is basically like if Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bob Ross had a celestial offspring with a really, really good hair day. Now, Mercury, being the communication whizz that it is, has decided to crank up the volume on the lion's roar. Translation: You've got a free pass to say what's been marinating in your noggin. But remember, Mercury's got a lead foot and Leo is as subtle as a supernova, so don't be surprised if your words come out with the speed of light and the subtlety of a big bang. This planetary cha-cha is also turning your charisma up to eleven. Think of yourself as a cosmic lion, mane defying gravity, strutting across the universe with the confidence of a catwalk model. Need to deliver that TED talk you've been procrastinating? Now's your time to shine brighter than a quasar! But wait, there's more! Mercury in Leo is also like the ultimate artistic muse. It's like your creativity just drank a gallon of Red Bull and is ready to pull an all-nighter. So dust off your paintbrushes, tune your guitars, or even dig out those interpretive dance leotards (I won't judge) - it's time to create like Van Gogh on a starry night! So, fellow stargazers, get ready to blaze a trail across the zodiac, because with Mercury in Leo, we're not just shooting for the stars - we're becoming one!

Venus will change from Virgo to Libra in the next 24 hours.

Venus is prograde at 29 Vir 38' 26", moving at 1.22 degrees per day, and is 228939650km away and approaching.

Venus Is In Virgo

Greetings, my celestial comrades! Take a deep breath and adjust your kaleidoscope glasses because we're going to venture into the cosmos where Venus is currently chillin' in Virgo. An astoundingly exact 120,983,603.256458908km away, but who's counting, right? Now, Venus in Virgo is kind of like that friend who becomes a bit too health-conscious after watching a single documentary on Netflix. Suddenly, they're scrutinizing every ingredient in their meals and lecturing you on the evils of gluten. In the same vein, when our dear Venus parks itself in Virgo, it's like it puts on these microscopic love goggles. This celestial spectacle urges us to sift through the particles of our relationships, weighing every pro and con on an atomic scale. If you've been ignoring any glaring red flags in your love life, now's the time they'll get magnified. And if you're single, don't be surprised if you find yourself more attracted to the office printer than any potential suitors. But here's the kicker: this doesn't mean you should go around nitpicking your partner's every move. It's not about turning into a relationship detective, but rather using this planetary shift for some constructive dialogue. Remember, nobody likes a cosmic buzzkill. Despite all the talk of analysis and scrutiny, Venus in Virgo isn't as clinical as it sounds. It's still a passionate transit. Think of it as a hipster coffee shop date—maybe a little reserved, definitely particular, but still oozing with understated sensuality. After all, Virgo is an earth sign, deeply connected with the sensual pleasures of life, be it food, art, nature, or...ahem...extracurricular activities. So, as Venus moonwalks from Virgo to Libra in the next 24 hours, remember to keep your heart and mind open, but also be discerning. And for heaven's sake, don't let a little gluten spoil the fun! Until next time, keep looking up, my celestial friends. Remember: the cosmos has your back (and your heart). Peace out!

Mars Is In Gemini

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Buckle up your spaceship seatbelts and hold onto your telescopes, because Mars has just jetted into Gemini territory. That's right, folks, the fiery planet of action and desire is now in the constellation of the Twins. Now, y'all might be wondering, "What does this mean for me?" Well, let's break it down Flash Gordon-style. Imagine Mars as the action hero of our solar system, always raring to go on a new adventure. And Gemini? Well, they're like the quirky sidekick with an endless bag of tricks and a curiosity that knows no bounds. So, when these two team up, you can expect nothing less than an intergalactic roller coaster ride! With Mars in Gemini, it’s like we've been given a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory - there's so much to see, do, learn, and explore that we can't help but jump from one thing to the next. We're like kids in a candy store, or rather, nerds in a comic book convention. The challenge here, my friends, is not to get lost in the labyrinth of possibilities. Remember, even a time-traveling DeLorean needs a map to reach its destination. But hey, don't fret if Plan A goes awry – in true Gemini style, we've got backup plans B, C, and D ready to roll out in no time. Versatility is the name of the game, and we're playing to win. Now, let’s talk about love, baby. While Mars is in Gemini, the brain becomes the ultimate aphrodisiac. The way to someone's heart is through their mind - sparking intellectual conversations, sharing ideas, debating theories... it's all foreplay! So, whether you're wooing a Vulcan or a Wookie, remember: a great mind is a real turn-on. In conclusion, my star-gazing friends, Mars in Gemini is about embracing change, seeking knowledge, and valuing mental stimulation. It's about being quick on your feet, flexible with your plans, and open to new experiences. So, prepare for lift-off and let the cosmic winds guide you to uncharted territories. And remember, as Flash Gordon would say, "We only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!" Until next time, keep your telescopes pointed towards the stars and your minds open to the universe. Happy stargazing, space cadets!

Jupiter in Gemini: The Cosmic Comedy Show

Alright, star gazers, buckle up. Jupiter's pulled into Gemini's driveway and it's not just for a quick cup of sugar. It's like the universe's version of an intellectual house party! You know, the kind where you end up debating quantum physics with a philosophy major dressed like Albert Einstein at 2 AM. That's the kind of party Jupiter and Gemini throw together.

Jupiter is the Professor Dumbledore of planets, always encouraging us to expand our minds, while Gemini, our cosmic chatterbox, is the kid in the front row with their hand perpetually raised. "What's this? What does it mean? Why is it like that?" Yes, Gemini, we get it, you're curious. But this combo can leave us feeling like we just ran a mental marathon… in moon boots... uphill.

But hey, it's not all cerebral sweat and tears. Gemini's diversity adds technicolor to Jupiter’s intellectual black and white TV. Suddenly, we're not just at a crossroads, we're at the center of a cosmic spaghetti junction, with paths, shortcuts, bridges, and even a wormhole or two. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but every page leads to more options.

And let's talk about the talk. Gemini is the social butterfly of the zodiac, flitting from one conversation to another. With Jupiter in town, everyone's got a dose of the cosmic giggles. Our witty repartee will be sharper than Sagittarius’s arrows, and we’ll find ourselves with more ideas than there are stars in the sky (okay, maybe not that many, but you get the idea).

While Jupiter is playing roommate with Gemini, expect to be busier than a Mars rover. We’ll be gobbling up information like a black hole, spitting out brilliant ideas like supernovae. The challenge will be to keep all those cosmic juggling balls in the air.

So, folks, as Jupiter swings through Gemini's starry neighborhood, remember to keep your mind as open as a satellite dish and as flexible as a space-time continuum. The floodgates of possibilities are about to unhinge. So whether you're pondering life's big questions or just deciding on pizza toppings, embrace the cosmic comedy that comes with this celestial transit. After all, we could all use a good

Saturn Is In Pisces

Saturn In Pisces: E.T. Phone Home... Or Maybe Just Call Your Therapist

Alright, fellow stargazers, do you feel that? That's Saturn in Pisces and it's the perfect time to put on your space snorkel and dive deep into the nebula of your inner psyche. You know that crazy idea you've been toying with? The one about starting a unicorn grooming business or writing a memoir that details your love affair with pizza? Yeah, that one! Well, now's the time to stop daydreaming and start doing. Saturn, AKA the cosmic taskmaster, is teaming up with Pisces, the zodiac's dreamy fish, to give you a cosmic kick in the pants.

But beware, my celestial comrades, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbow rocket rides and interstellar ice cream. Saturn is like that nosy landlord who always seems to show up unannounced. Sure, he might catch you dancing in your underwear to '80s synth pop, but he's also there to tell you to clean up your act. So, instead of slapping a "No Alien Lifeforms Allowed" sign on your door, open it up and let Saturn in. His advice might be as welcomed as a black hole at a spaceship party, but trust me, it's worth listening to.

Now, with all this intergalactic introspection going on, it's not surprising if you're feeling a little like a sleep-deprived astronaut floating aimlessly in the void. But don't despair! This is the perfect time to channel your inner Zen master. Meditate, take a moonlit stroll, practice some deep space breathing techniques, or simply take an afternoon nap (just be sure to keep that dream journal handy!). And while you're at it, maybe hit the hay a bit early. You've got a universe inside you to explore and trust me, it's way more exciting than the latest episode of "Keeping Up with the Klingons".

So, in conclusion, embrace the lessons that Saturn in Pisces has to deliver. They may seem as foreign as a Martian language at first, but with some patience and open-mindedness, you'll soon be navigating your own personal cosmos like a seasoned space captain. And who knows, you might even decide to finally open that unicorn grooming business after all!

Uranus Is In Taurus

Uranus in Taurus: A Cosmic Ride on the Bull

Alright, cosmic voyagers, brace yourselves! Uranus has swaggered into Taurus and let me tell you, this is like inviting a quantum physicist to a medieval joust. You just know it's going to get interesting!

Taurus, a zodiac sign slower than a dial-up connection in the '90s, prefers things steady and unchanging. Like binge-watching an entire series without a single plot twist or cliffhanger. But then along comes Uranus, the celestial equivalent of a software update right in the middle of your favorite game. It's disruptive, sure, but also necessary for leveling up!

Picture this: Uranus is the Spock of our solar system—logical, unemotional, and always ready to challenge the status quo. And Taurus? It's more of a Captain Kirk—passionate, loyal, and a bit stuck in its ways. This union is bound to create some Star Trek-level drama, folks!

And where does this drama unfold? In the realm of money—Taurus' favorite playground. With Uranus in Taurus for the next seven years, we're in for some revolutionary changes. Imagine cryptocurrency becoming as commonplace as ordering pizza online, banks turning into digital dinosaurs, and the housing and stock markets doing the cha-cha on a rollercoaster. Exciting or terrifying? You decide!

On a personal level, this transit is like that one episode where the crew realizes they’re trapped inside the Holodeck. We need to break free from the clutches of materialistic Borgs—debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages—and redefine our relationship with money. Resistance is futile! Uranus is here to liberate us, and even the most stubborn among us (yes, Taurus, I'm looking at you) can't stop this cosmic transformation.

So buckle up, space cadets! This is one interstellar ride that promises to shake us out of our comfort zones and lead us towards greater stability. By the time Uranus packs up and warps out of Taurus, we might just thank it for the upgrade! Beam me up, Uranus!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is retrograde at 29 Pis 07' 26", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4332896185km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Well, gather round stargazers and let me tell you a little something about our buddy Neptune who is currently sashaying its way through Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Who cares? I mean, Neptune is like 4.3 billion kilometers away, why should I give a darn?" Well, my friend, just like how we love that Wi-Fi signal from our neighbor's router, even though it's not in our living room, celestial bodies affect us from afar too! Now, Neptune in Pisces is like having a hot cup of cosmic tea, brewed with a healthy dose of emotion, a sprinkle of spirit, and a pinch of unity. Suddenly, you see the world from a new perspective, like when you finally clean your glasses after weeks of ignoring the smudges. Petty differences? Pfft, they vanish faster than my motivation to do laundry on Sundays. This combo calls for us to dig deep and figure out what we bring to the cosmic table. Maybe you're good at making people laugh, or maybe you can cook up a storm, or perhaps you're just really good at finding the best Netflix series before anyone else. Whatever it is, we all have something to contribute. This period is also the perfect time to explore your spiritual side. No, I'm not suggesting you start levitating or talking to your houseplants (unless that's your thing, then go for it). But it could be as simple as dedicating a quiet corner of your room for meditation, or really diving into that yoga practice you've been thinking about. The energy of Neptune in Pisces nudges us to share these ideas with the world. And remember, like a reliable Wi-Fi connection, Neptune's got your back during this process. So, whether you're sharing a newfound recipe, a hilarious joke, or your top pick for a binge-watch, know that Neptune is cheering you on from a mere 4.3 billion kilometers away!

Pluto

Pluto is in Aquarius

Pluto is retrograde at 00 Aqu 03' 54", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 5126571681km away and receding.

Pluto Is In Aquarius

Alright, my cosmic crew, grab your telescopes and don those space onesies because we're venturing deep, deep into the cosmos today. We're talking Pluto-in-Aquarius deep! Now, you might be thinking, "Pluto? Isn't that the little runt they kicked out of the planet club?" Well, yes, but no. Despite its reputation for being the solar system's underdog, Pluto is a heavy hitter in astrology. It's the planet equivalent of that quiet nerdy kid in school who one day becomes a billionaire tech mogul. It's all about transformation, baby! You see, when Pluto waltzes its way into Aquarius, it's like the universe is putting on its favorite pair of dancing shoes and cranking up the volume on the cosmic jukebox. It's not just a shuffle or a two-step; it's a full-on, disco-ball-spinning, boogie-down-the-aisles kind of dance. Now, Aquarius. Ah, the water bearer. The zodiac's resident mad scientist, humanitarian, and technological whizz. When Pluto takes a vacation in Aquarius, we're not just talking about a slight change in your morning coffee order. No, this is more like swapping your regular java for an alien beverage that gives you the ability to see sound and taste colors! What does this mean for us earthlings? Well, imagine worldwide shifts in science, technology, and even space travel. Picture profound evolutions in civil rights and humanitarianism, where kindness is the new currency and empathy is as essential as air. Basically, it's like all the world leaders got together for a group hug and decided to play nice for a change. In our personal lives, Pluto in Aquarius is like that annoying gym instructor who keeps yelling, "Feel the burn!" It's urging us to transform, to rethink who we are and where we fit in this vast cosmic puzzle. It's not enough to just consider what's best for us anymore. The universe is nudging us rather forcefully to start thinking about what's best for everyone. So, are you ready to answer the call? Or are you going to let the cosmic operator keep you on hold? Remember, the future is calling, and it doesn't like to be kept waiting!

Venus

Venus Trine Uranus

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.

Venus

Venus Opposite Neptune

You may be deluding yourself today especially where relationships are concerned. You are probably thinking with your heart rather than with your head and this can lead to all sorts of trouble. You may be too willing to sacrifice too much for your loved one. Things are not as they appear regarding affairs of the heart and you would do well to keep your feet on the ground. Avoid wishful thinking and unrealistic fantasies. Stop playing the martyr.This aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being “in love with love” is a strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It’s hard to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low. On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviors in their partners that others wouldn’t accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships. Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work.The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves them when in reality that person doesn’t return the affection. Or, they may cling to a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit. Yet another Venus-Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus-Neptune people are drawn to victim/savior relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or savior! Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and eventually feel used.The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them “safe” from a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their own vulnerability in love.Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or account for their belongings. They may have problems with “borrowing from their future” because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest in unrealistic projects.Alternate Interpretations:^In square aspect to Neptune, your Venusian expression takes on an otherworldly quality. Your yearning may be for that perfect lover whose spirituality, passion, purity of spirit and drive all stem from the highest possible level. Loving in such a manner would seem to remove you from the bondage of ordinary life and transport you into true bliss. Although this seems possible in fairy tales or movies, it’s really difficult to find those elements in another human being. You may also operate under the illusion that you must first sacrifice yourself before you are worthy of love. It’s all too easy to project unrealistic feelings onto your lover, and it is just as tempting to try to alter yourself to please a man so that he will love you. Whether those alterations are in your behavior, your appearance or your attitudes, if you submerge your real self beneath the illusions of what you feel will make you more lovable, you’re selling out. If you want to experience the ecstasy you dream about, you’ll surrender to a love which honors your real needs and learn to avoid situations where you become addicted, co-dependent, victimized or abused. Forgiving the shortcomings of the man you love is one thing; allowing him to deceive or victimize you is another! Know when and how to give help, but be careful of emotional rescue ventures!^Your projections about the man you love frequently overshadow the real person with Venus in opposition to Neptune. Even though you may not want to admit it, you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you’re in love. That feeling of being transported into another world when you’re in love is actually quite accurate. But it’s not the guy who’s gotten you there all by himself – it’s the energy inside you that allows you to soar! It’s not easy to separate your dream lover from the real person standing before you. You may always project some of your own power and tenderness onto the man you love. As long as you can allow the reality of the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because he’s the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that he is what you really need – or that he’s REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right man will be attracted to you, you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love, but when your heart is filled with love, you’re willing to drop all your boundaries and merge completely. There’s a difference between a soul connection and codependency or emotional addiction. It’s drawing the line that’s difficult. By allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional boundaries reasonably intact.Alternate, short interpretation: Venus square Neptune or Venus opposition Neptune: *You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to discover that no real, flesh-and-blood human being ever quite lives up to your dream image of the Perfect Love. Though you frequently fantasize about love and romance, you may avoid becoming intimately involved with anyone or making definite commitments. You can be evasive and dishonest with yourself and others, when it comes to love. Some of your love yearnings may be expressed through art, music, or an involvement with mysticism.#Sexual relationships tend to arouse your idealistic nature and may have little foundation for a long-term relationship. Once past the initial stage of love however, your imagination fuels the flame of intense spirituality and you are capable of ecstatic insights. Mystical practices can enhance your sex life.

Your emotions are deep and powerful. As they say, still waters run deep. Today might be a good day to redecorate or make other changes to your home with the hope of bringing greater beauty and harmony into your life. It's a good time to find new uses for old or discarded items which no longer serve your purposes. Emotional self-regeneration is possible with these energies.

Jupiter Square Saturn

Legal, business and professional difficulties and delays may arise during this transit. Your timing is off now. Do not make important changes at this time. Be cautious with respect to business expansion. There can be conflicts between professional and family obligations. There may be a moral crisis of some sort. You swing between optimism and pessimism. Past mistakes may come to light now and cause you trouble.You suffer because you remember your failures more than your successes and consequently have a hard time developing a picture of yourself as a winner. In this sense you were born old. However, this same quality engenders a childish quality in you that tends to look for the “quick fix”. Hard work and consistency of effort brings success for you just like it does for everyone else. Yes, you need some luck or some breaks, but these come from perspective, vision or aim in life. Work to see yourself as deserving good things in life, then be willing to put forth honest effort. — Interpretation from the Indra report.Jupiter square Saturn: *You have an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. You need to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve your aspirations.

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.
