Moon Is In Sagittarius

Great Scott! The Moon has parked itself in the vast cosmic landscape of Sagittarius! That's heavier than a DeLorean full of flux capacitors! Now, don't go thinking you're going to start shooting arrows at stars or develop an insatiable appetite for philosophical debates. Although, that wouldn't be completely out of line. This celestial event is more like a cosmic invitation for your inner adventurer to take the wheel, or if we're sticking with the theme here, the flux capacitor. It's time for the Marty McFly in you to embrace this lunar event and hop on your hoverboard to new experiences! And remember, where we're going, we don't need roads! I hear you asking, "But Doc, what about the distance? The Moon is 392,952.684412789km away!" Well, my dear fellow stargazers, while that might seem like a galactic road trip, in the grand scheme of the cosmos, it's just a jaunt around the block. A really, REALLY big block. So take this astral alignment as a sign. Let the Sagittarian Moon illuminate your path to new adventures. But take heed! Don't let your enthusiasm lead you into a Biff Tannen kind of situation. And always remember, your future isn't written yet. So make it a good one!

Mercury

Mercury is in Aries

Mercury is prograde at 26 Ari 47' 24", moving at 0.32 degrees per day, and is 114249350km away and approaching.

Mercury Is In Aries

Greetings, cosmic voyagers! Grab your lab coats and tie-dye tees because we're diving head-first into a celestial event of astronomical proportions. Mercury, you know, that tiny speedy planet named after the Roman god of travel and miscommunication, is currently doing a bit of a tango in Aries. That's right, folks, Mercury is 114424215.460216209km away, being all hipster in the trailblazing sign of Aries. And oh boy, it's as if Mercury has had an espresso shot of adrenaline! Aries, the astrological equivalent of that friend who always interrupts because they just can't wait to spill their thoughts, doesn't do things halfway. With Mercury in Aries, expect your mind to turn into a hyperactive jackrabbit on a caffeine high. Forget about patiently replaying thoughts over and over again - it's time to sprint forward, leaving no room for procrastination. Now, this transit is like being handed a cosmic microphone with an audience that's all ears. It's giving us the boost we need to voice out our thoughts and feelings with gusto. But remember, folks, Aries is all about "me, myself, and I." While this might give us the confidence to speak our minds, it's a bit like trying to perform a symphony with a kazoo when sensitivity and cooperation are called for. So, let's not turn into verbal bulldozers, okay? When Mercury and Aries team up, it's like a brainstorming session on steroids. Expect sudden lightning flashes of insight that could solve that pesky problem that’s been bothering you since the last solar eclipse. The trick is not to second-guess yourself. Your first thoughts are often your best ones during this transit. It's like catching shooting stars - quick, fleeting, but oh-so-brilliant. So, strap on your nerd goggles and get ready to catch these fleeting flashes of genius. But remember, with the Aries influence, these sparks of inspiration will disappear just as quickly as your last bag of organic kale chips. So, my dear cosmic voyagers, seize the day, or in this case, seize the thought!

The Cosmic Dance of Venus in Pisces: A Love Story, Away from Reality

Weave your way through the cosmos, dear friends, for now is the time to bask in the ethereal glow of Venus swaying to the rhythm of Pisces! Oh, and don't forget to pack your spacesuit, you would not want to miss this interstellar love fest.

Imagine if you will, Venus, the universe's dazzling diva, donning the dreamy dress of Pisces. The result? A celestial smorgasbord of love, compassion, and a touch of otherworldly escapism. Beware though, as this combination can be as intoxicating as that DIY fermentation experiment I tried last summer. Turns out grape juice and yeast do NOT mix well with comic books. Who'd have thought?

But back to Venus in Pisces: it’s like falling in love with that attractive alien life form from your favorite sci-fi show. It's alluring, mysterious, fascinating... but remember to keep your space helmet on! This transit could cloud your judgement faster than a supernova explosion. So, unless you've had plenty of space-time continuum to get to know someone, hold off on exchanging promise rings forged from meteorite metals.

However, seeing people through rose-colored space goggles isn’t always an intergalactic disaster. If you've been nitpicking about your partner's shortcomings, let Venus in Pisces turn your relationship into a beautiful nebula of understanding and appreciation. It's like discovering your significant other is actually a superhero with cosmic powers. How cool is that?

On the financial front, this is a golden opportunity to monetize your imaginative pursuits. Perhaps start that astrology blog you've been thinking about, or sell those handmade galaxy pendants. Just remember, Venus in Pisces isn't about chasing the almighty space-dollar. It's more about using your gifts to spread love and compassion across the universe. Or at least, your part of it.

So, buckle up, space explorers! Let the cosmic dance of Venus in Pisces take you on a romantic voyage through the stars. And remember, no matter how alluring the alien life forms may be, always keep your space helmet on!

Mars

Mars is in Pisces

Mars is prograde at 05 Pis 39' 35", moving at 0.78 degrees per day, and is 313714822km away and approaching.

Mars Is In Pisces

Ahoy there, celestial sailors! Suit up, because your spaceship is taking a detour through the nebulous clouds of Pisces, with our fiery friend Mars at the helm. Now, don't go into panic mode. Sure, Mars in the dreamy waters of Pisces might feel like a robot trying to swim. But it's not all malfunction and mayhem. Imagine, if you will, Mars, the intergalactic John Wayne, swathed in a technicolor kaftan, sipping on a kale smoothie. Hilarious, isn't it? However, this cosmic mashup can be surprisingly productive. It's like combining algebra with interpretive dance. Mars is still Mars and it can move mountains, even if it's doing so while humming "Age of Aquarius" and pondering the mysteries of the cosmos. Mars in Pisces is an unusual combo, like peanut butter and pickles, but it works! It’s the ideal time to channel your inner Picasso or become the main actor of your local charity. Remember that one time when you thought about saving the whales or feeding the homeless? Well, now's the time! Just remember to strap on those rose-tinted glasses firmly, so you don’t end up passionately crusading for the rights of tribbles. Now, beware, star-travelers! With Mars wading through Pisces, passions might be as unpredictable as a quantum singularity. You’ll want to avoid lashing out like a provoked Klingon, so make sure your energy is targeted, not just randomly phaser-blasting around. Pisces often finds the artist lurking within us, like that hidden Easter egg in your favorite video game. So, when Mars moonwalks through this sign, it's a reminder that there's more to life than the daily grind of mining dilithium crystals. Buckle up, space cowboys and cowgirls, because this celestial journey is about to blast you out of your mundane perspectives and into a kaleidoscope of galactic creativity!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 16 Tau 58' 58", moving at 0.21 degrees per day, and is 862549815km away and receding.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Greetings, celestial voyagers! As we float through the cosmic soup, it appears that our jovial buddy Jupiter has decided to bunk up with Taurus, the universe's most steadfast and stubborn sign. Now, this may sound as compatible as pairing a Klingon with a hobbit, but trust me, this union has some serious potential! Jupiter, the wise old sage of the planets, thrives on deep thoughts and existential pondering, while Taurus, on the other hand, is more focused on the earthly delights and the pleasure of a well-cooked meal. This collaboration reminds us that wisdom isn't some elusive unicorn we need to chase across the cosmos - it's right there within us, just waiting to be discovered amidst the chaos of our daily lives. So, what happens when you combine Jupiter's thirst for growth with Taurus' bullheaded determination? You get an unstoppable drive towards your goals, like Frodo determined to reach Mount Doom, but with less ring-wraiths and more spreadsheets. It's time to channel your inner Hermione Granger, make a comprehensive to-do list and start checking off those tasks one by one. With Jupiter in Taurus, your life could become as prosperous as a Leprechaun's pot of gold. Jupiter is the cosmic lottery ticket, known for bringing good luck and fortune, while Taurus is the Wall Street tycoon of the zodiac, all about wealth and money. If used wisely, this cosmic combination could yield results that would make even a dragon jealous of your hoard. But beware, fellow star-travelers. Taurus is also known for being a bit of a hedonist, always ready to indulge in the finer things in life. And when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, teams up with such a sign, we might find ourselves confusing needs with wants, like a wizard who just discovered Amazon Prime. So, keep your impulses in check during this transit, or you might end up with a collection of magic wands you don't really need. So, strap on your space boots, grab your lightsaber, and prepare for the cosmic adventure that's Jupiter in Taurus. Remember, the Force is strong with this one!

Saturn in Pisces: The Galactic Dad's House Visit

Okay, folks! Strap on your space helmets because Saturn - the celestial equivalent of that strict but loving parent who insists on everything being tidy - has moved into Pisces. Yes, you heard me right. That's like having a surprise inspection from your landlord when you're in the middle of redecorating. Panic stations, right? Wrong! This is actually a pretty stellar time (pun intended) to channel your inner Marie Kondo and start cleaning up your dreams.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But, Commander, my dreams are none of Saturn's business!" Well, tell that to the 764 Earth-sized planets that revolve around him. When Saturn's floating through the nebulous realm of Pisces, he's got a front-row seat to our dreams and aspirations. So, let's make sure he gets a good show!

Channel your inner Jedi and use this transit to meditate on what you want to achieve. Dreamt of opening your own business? Get that business plan sorted. Fancy writing a book? Start jotting down your ideas. Saturn and Pisces together are like Yoda and Luke Skywalker - they'll whip you into shape and help you navigate your way to success.

Getting a visit from the cosmic taskmaster isn't always a walk in the park (or a float in space, if we're being accurate). But don't stick a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your door and hope he'll go away. That's about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Instead, open the door, invite him in, and listen to his advice. He might be demanding, but he's got wisdom to share.

If you're feeling a bit restless during this period (and who wouldn't with Saturn breathing down their neck), remember to take care of yourself. Meditate, take a walk in the woods (or on the moon if you can swing it), or do some deep breathing exercises. You could even treat yourself to an early night - just don't forget your dream journal!

So, folks, as Saturn parks his big old spaceship in Pisces, remember this: he's here to help us tidy up our dreams and make them a reality. So, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work! And remember, in space, no one can hear you clean...

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 20 Tau 42' 12", moving at 0.05 degrees per day, and is 3043698094km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Alright, cosmic cadets! Buckle up and prepare for an interstellar ride because Uranus – the great disruptor of the zodiac, the rebellious teenager of our solar system, is sauntering its way into the comforting pastures of Taurus. This is not a drill, people. It's like inviting a heavy metal band to a ballet performance. Oh, the cosmic chaos! Taurus, the celestial bovine, loves stability more than a cat loves napping on a sunny afternoon. And here comes Uranus, shaking things up like a caffeinated toddler with a snow globe. Trust me, the old bull isn't too thrilled about it. But, as they say, you can't stop progress, no matter how many cosmic hooves you dig into the ground. Now, remember when I promised you a revolution? Well, I wasn't kidding. With Uranus in Taurus, we're about to witness a financial shakeup that could make Wall Street seem like a weekend bingo game. We're talking about the potential for new forms of currency popping up faster than mushrooms after a rain shower. Banks could be spinning like a washing machine on turbo cycle, and the housing and stock markets may just turn into a high-stakes game of musical chairs. On a personal level, this cosmic shift is going to feel like a friendly alien abduction. But don't panic! Uranus is here to break the chains of financial bondage. Debts, taxes, credit card interests, rent, mortgages – all these are about to get a cosmic makeover. It's like getting a financial facelift from a planet-sized plastic surgeon. So, as Uranus pirouettes into Taurus, don't resist the change. Embrace it. Because, like a good sci-fi plot twist, it's here to liberate us. So, let's grab our space helmets, hitch a ride on the cosmic wave, and prepare to land in a better place. Who knows, we might just end up with our own little piece of intergalactic real estate. Now, wouldn't that be out of this world?

Pluto

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 27 Pis 50' 31", moving at 0.04 degrees per day, and is 4619089595km away and approaching.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Greetings cosmic voyagers, space surfers, and celestial wanderers! I hope you're strapped in because we're taking a trip light years away to the dreamy planet of Neptune, currently making a splash in the constellation of Pisces. And boy oh boy, it's like watching Spock try to navigate an emotional Vulcan soap opera. Now, my dear interstellar travelers, as you might know, Neptune is famed for its signature move - the cha-cha slide into the mystical realm, blending the physical and the ethereal. It's a bit like trying to juggle antimatter particles while riding on a comet... unpredictable, mystifying, and absolutely delightful if you're into that sort of thing. As Neptune pirouettes gracefully through Pisces like a ballerina in zero gravity, we are gifted with a cosmic telescope of sorts, enabling us to peek into the nebulous corners of our own souls. Suddenly, those petty differences we've been squabbling over start looking more trivial than a debate about whether Star Wars or Star Trek is superior. (Spoiler alert: It's Babylon 5. Always.) This cosmic confluence is much like a celestial group hug, inviting us to pool our unique talents, dreams, and Wi-Fi passwords for the collective good. It's a call to action, or rather, a call to compassion. So, dust off those dreams, polish your ideas, and let your unique light shine brighter than a supernova about to explode. Feeling a bit lost? Embrace it. It's the perfect time to enroll in Jedi Mind Tricks 101 or build a sacred spot at home where you can commune with Yoda's spirit. Yes, you heard it right. Neptune in Pisces is whispering in your ear to explore the farthest reaches of your emotional intelligence and share your findings with the universe. Remember, dear star gazers, in this cosmic dance, you're never alone. Neptune's got your back. It's like having a personal force field against cosmic negativity. So dive into this interstellar voyage with wide-eyed wonder and let the stars guide you to your destiny. Beam me up, Neptune!

Pluto's Aquarian Adventure

Alright folks, buckle up! Pluto, our favorite dwarf planet (let's not get into the whole "is it a planet or not" debate right now), is doing a cosmic tango with Aquarius. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh no, another astrological event I don't understand." But this isn't like that time you couldn't find your keys and blamed Mercury Retrograde. This is serious...ly transformative!

See, Pluto is like the Marie Kondo of planets. It comes along, takes a look at your life, and says, "You know what? This doesn't spark joy." Then it proceeds to metaphorically throw away half your soul's wardrobe to make space for a new spiritual ensemble. Death, rebirth, transformation—it's all in a day's work for our pal Pluto.

Now, throw Aquarius into the mix—our resident sign of progress—and we've got ourselves a recipe for some major changes. Think of it as a cosmic software update, but instead of just getting new emojis, we might see leaps in science, technology, and space travel. Heads up, Elon Musk!

And let's not forget about social issues. Aquarius and Pluto aren't just about inventing the next iPhone or finding Alien life. They're about forging new alliances, advancing civil rights, and taking humanitarianism to the next level.

On a personal level, Pluto's dance with Aquarius is like a wake-up call from the universe, urging us to rethink our priorities. Instead of being self-centered, it's whispering in our ears: "Hey, how about considering the needs of others for a change?" It's like the universe is trying to turn us all into Mother Teresa or something.

So, are you ready for this cosmic transformation? Will you accept the call to become a better version of yourself? Or will you just blame the next missing pair of socks on Pluto Retrograde? The choice is yours, my friends!

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.

Jupiter

Jupiter Conjunct Uranus

You have an increased tolerance for all points of view and different ways of life. Your intuition is stimulated to grow at this time. You may experience prophetic dreams. Sudden good financial fortune may come your way. Your life may change and expand in some way, perhaps through foreign travel or metaphysical pursuits. There is a desire to befriend humanity and to make new friends.

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.
