Moon Is In Pisces

Ah, the moon in Pisces it is, my star-trekking friends! A mere 358,268.585571457 kilometers away, closer it feels than the fridge when you're stuck on the couch in your Star Wars PJs, hmmm? Understand this, you must. In Pisces, the Moon is like a cosmic goldfish swimming in the celestial fishbowl of the night sky. Its silvery light touching upon our dreams, pulling at our heartstrings like Spock playing a Vulcan harp. But remember, it's not logical, it's astrological! Now, this might sound as confusing as trying to assemble IKEA furniture using Klingon instructions, but bear with me, young Padawans. Pisces, the cosmic guppies they are, bring with them a wave of emotional depth that could rival the Mariana Trench. You might find yourself feeling as sensitive as a freshly peeled onion in a sandstorm, but fear not! This is just the universe's way of saying "Hey, let's talk about those repressed feelings while watching reruns of Doctor Who." Be open to channeling these cosmic vibes, as unpredictable as a TARDIS. Embrace the fact that you might be as moody as Darth Vader on a bad helmet hair day. It is the time to explore the hidden Alderaan places of your heart, it is. So, grab your lightsabers, or maybe just a comforting cup of chamomile tea, and lean into the lunar energy. May the force, and the moon in Pisces, be with you!

Mercury Is In Aquarius

Greetings, stargazers! Listen up, because the cosmos is throwing a party and you're all invited. Mercury, our fav celestial speedster, has just packed its bags and skipped town into Aquarius. Now, Aquarius is a bit like that vegan, free-spirit, tech-innovator friend of yours who's always coming up with revolutionary ideas while doing yoga on a hoverboard. So when Mercury, the planet in charge of our thoughts, meets Aquarius, expect your brain cells to start dancing the funky chicken and coming up with ideas that might sound like they're straight out of a sci-fi movie. Being in Aquarius, Mercury is going to slap on some logic-tinted glasses, making us all look at our most emotional issues with a rational eye. It's like having a personal Sherlock Holmes inside your head deducing the reality of situations. So prepare to get mind-blown with some "a-ha" moments. You might finally understand why cats are scared of cucumbers or how your socks keep disappearing in the laundry! But remember, folks, every silver cloud has a grey lining. Mercury in Aquarius might make us forget that emotions exist. You might find yourself bafflingly trying to comfort a crying friend by explaining the science of tears. Ouch! So be careful not to turn into Dr. Spock during this phase. Yes, logic is great, but sometimes all we need is a hug (or a significant amount of chocolate). So, that's the cosmic lowdown for the period. As we say in my interstellar circles, "May the force of gravity always keep your feet on the ground when you're reaching for the stars." Happy stargazing!

Venus

Venus is in Capricorn

Venus is prograde at 23 Cap 18' 53", moving at 1.24 degrees per day, and is 211755919km away and receding.

Venus Is In Capricorn

Alright, cosmic comrades! Buckle up your spaceship seatbelts because Venus, that sultry vixen of the solar system, is sauntering into Capricorn like a CEO in a power suit. It's as if she's swapped her usual gauzy goddess garb for a crisp pantsuit with a chunky statement necklace. And trust me, she means business! With Venus in Capricorn, we're all going to start feeling the urge to take our relationships seriously, like "let's talk about our 401k and joint health insurance" seriously. You might even find yourself cuddling up with your significant other and instead of whispering sweet nothings, you're discussing mortgage rates and the benefits of a Roth IRA. Talk about pillow talk, am I right? And for all you single stargazers out there, this is your cue to ditch those flimsy flings and start hunting for something... well, a little more sturdy. Like a Saturn V rocket rather than a paper plane. Capricorn wants substance, solidity, and a good credit rating. In addition to turning our love lives into a romantic stock exchange, Venus in Capricorn also has us rethinking our fashion choices. Goodbye, neon leotards and glittery platforms! Hello, sensible sweaters and tailored trousers. Even your hair might feel the effects. Your 'do may go from punk rock spikes to a sleek, sophisticated bun. And for all you artistically inclined folks, now's the time to finally start that DIY treehouse or knit that alpaca wool sweater. Just remember, Capricorn doesn't do half-baked, so be prepared to see your projects all the way through. Last but not least, Venus in Capricorn is like a cosmic audit at your workplace. You might start questioning your worth, your role, and, let's be honest, your salary. But don't fret! There's a silver lining here. This is your chance to reconnect with your inner boss, reassess your value, and climb that corporate ladder. So, get ready, space cadets! Venus in Capricorn is going to be like a cosmic business meeting, romantic strategy session, and fashion makeover all rolled into one celestial event. And remember, in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just stardust trying to make sense of it all. Now go forth and conquer!

Galactic Alert: Mars Goes Corporate in Capricorn

Alright stargazers, brace yourselves because Mars, the red hot planet of action and fiery passion, has just clocked in at the office of Capricorn, the zodiac's corporate ladder-climbing goat. Picture a space warrior in a three-piece suit, balancing spreadsheets while he's itching for a cosmic conquest. I know, it's a lot to process. But hey, that's the universe for you!

With Mars in Capricorn, it's like we've all been handed a celestial self-help book titled 'Get Your Act Together: A Practical Guide to Not Just Dreaming Big but Doing Big'. So, kiss goodbye to those whimsical daydreams and impulsive decisions. It's time to don your nerdy glasses, roll up your sleeves, and get down to the nitty-gritty of turning dreams into realities.

Here's the kicker, though. As Mars starts punching the time clock, it's not just about what you're doing, but how you're doing it. This is like the cosmic version of quality control. Every action needs a purpose, every goal needs a plan. The universe is basically giving you a friendly nudge (or a firm push, depending on how stubborn you are) to sharpen your focus and streamline your efforts.

Now, don't be fooled by this sudden shift to practicality. Both Mars and Capricorn love a good workout, and they're not afraid to break a sweat. This is the perfect time to tackle that project you've been putting off or start something new. And if you're sitting there thinking, "But I don't have a serious goal", well, my friend, it's high time you found one. With this much can-do energy swirling around, there's little you can't achieve if you stick to your plans.

But let's not forget, Mars and Capricorn aren't exactly known for their touchy-feely side. They're all about breaking barriers, even if it means stepping on a few toes along the way. It's like a cosmic version of 'Survivor', but without the immunity idol. So remember to balance this ambitious energy with a little compassion for yourself and others. After all, success is sweetest when it's shared, right?

So buckle up, fellow space voyagers. With Mars in Capric

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter is prograde at 08 Tau 28' 43", moving at 0.13 degrees per day, and is 767582809km away and receding.

Jupiter Is In Taurus

BEEP BOOP: Jupiter In Taurus, Astro-Nerds!

Hey there, stargazers! Brace yourselves; our cosmic biggie, Jupiter, has parked its enormous self in the solid and steady sign of Taurus. It's like a celestial sumo wrestler deciding to take a nap on a sturdy, comfy couch. For those of you who've been so lost in the daily grind that you've forgotten your innate wisdom (yes, even you have it), this is your wake-up call!

Now, imagine if R2-D2 were your life coach. He'd be all, "Beep-boop-bop, make a plan for your dreams!" That's kind of what Jupiter in Taurus is doing. It's time to channel your inner droid, draft those to-do lists, and check off those tasks like you're playing astrological bingo. And remember, no one ever won a game by just staring at the board, so get moving!

And speaking of winning, Jupiter and Taurus are like the cosmic Powerball. Jupiter, the planet of good luck (and not just finding-a-dollar-in-your-jeans-pocket kind of luck), and Taurus, the zodiac's Warren Buffett, are conspiring to bring you prosperity. So, keep an eye on your financials, folks! You might just find a golden opportunity hidden in those spreadsheets.

But, beware! Taurus loves to indulge, and with Jupiter in the mix, it's like having an unlimited credit card in your favorite store. But remember, even in the galaxy, there's no such thing as free lunch. While it can be tempting to splurge, remember to differentiate between needs and wants. After all, you don't want to end up like Jabba the Hutt, do you?

So, strap on your space boots and get ready to make the most out of this cosmic event. And remember, the force is strong with you!

Saturn Is In Pisces

That Darn Saturn in Pisces, Dude!

Alright, my celestial chickadees, something groovy is happening in the cosmos, man. Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, is currently chillin' in the oceanic depths of Pisces. That's like 1596550899.330014229km away, for those who are into specifics. No biggie, just a casual space road trip.

Now listen up, because this ain't no ordinary lounging around on a waterbed kind of situation. When Saturn, the cosmic principal, splashes into the pool of our dreams and fantasies, it's time to turn those daydreams of yours into some serious action plans. Yes, I'm talking about that book you've always wanted to write, or that business you've been dying to launch. Now's the time to take your head out of the clouds and get down to brass tacks. Make a plan, Stan! Budget, Betty! Look into loans, Lenny! You catch my drift?

But don't think this is gonna be as sweet as a cherry pie. No siree! Saturn in Pisces can be a nosy Nellie, prying into your deepest, juiciest daydreams. Yeah, it can feel like your personal space has been invaded by a cosmic dad with a penchant for cleaning. But hey, sometimes that's what we need, right? So drop the defences, tear down those "Keep Out" signs, and let Saturn in. You might even learn something useful.

And here's a heads up, dudes and dudettes: with so much going on in the dreamy realm of Pisces, you might find it hard to catch some Z's. But don't panic! Instead, take this as an opportunity to dive deeper into the tranquil ocean of your inner self. Meditate, take a leisurely walk in the woods, or just breathe. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not keep a dream journal by your side? You never know what cosmic wisdom you might stumble upon in your dreams.

So, remember, my cosmic friends: when Saturn is in Pisces, it's not just about dreaming. It's about making those dreams come true. So grab your telescope, put on your favorite tie-dye shirt, and get ready to ride this cosmic wave!

Uranus

Uranus is in Taurus

Uranus is prograde at 19 Tau 11' 12", moving at 0.01 degrees per day, and is 2936704872km away and receding.

Uranus Is In Taurus

Alright, star gazers and cosmic crusaders! Get ready for a celestial shakeup that's going to rock your pocketbooks and possibly your love of that vintage vinyl collection. Uranus, the rebellious teenager of our solar system, just moved into Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn sign and boy, is it going to be an interesting stay. Picture a punk rocker at a tea party - yeah, that's Uranus in Taurus. Now, Taurus, bless its little cotton socks, likes things steady and stable. It's the astrology equivalent of a comfy couch and a good Netflix series. But Uranus? Uranus is the surprise cliffhanger at the end of the season that sends your popcorn flying. It's all about big, sudden changes, and for the next seven years, it's going to be shaking things up in Taurus-land. Here's where it gets interesting. Taurus rules money and material possessions. So, with Uranus taking the reins, we're in for some revolutionary changes in the way we handle our cheddar. We could see new forms of currency popping up (Who's up for trading in Schrute Bucks?), banks could turn upside down, and the housing and stock markets might need a cosmic seatbelt. But don't start hoarding your pennies and canned goods just yet. This isn't a doomsday prophecy. On a personal level, this is all about breaking free from the golden handcuffs of materialism. Debt, taxes, rent, that looming credit card bill - these are all things that tie us down. Uranus is here to cut those chains like a celestial locksmith, liberating us from our financial burdens. So, brace yourselves and get your wallets ready for this cosmic roller coaster ride. Change is coming, whether you're ready or not. But don't worry, by the end of this transit, you might just find yourself in a better place financially and materially. After all, Uranus isn't just about disruption, it's about innovation and finding new ways to do things. So, let's embrace the change, even if it feels like we're trading in our comfy couch for a unicycle. It's going to be one heck of a ride!

Neptune

Neptune is in Pisces

Neptune is prograde at 26 Pis 05' 10", moving at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4594868733km away and receding.

Neptune Is In Pisces

Good day, celestial cadets! Time to buckle up and don your space helmets, for we are about to embark on a cosmic journey. Neptune, the big blue gas giant, is currently doing the interstellar foxtrot in the constellation of Pisces. Now, what does this mean, you might ask? Well, imagine Neptune as a celestial DJ, spinning the groovy cosmic vinyl of spiritual awakening and unity in the club of Pisces. This club, dear friends, is known for its emotional depths and kaleidoscopic spirituality. So, when Neptune rolls in with its beats of togetherness, the party really gets started. This celestial dance-off between Neptune and Pisces is like taking a power washer to the grimy window of our souls. Suddenly, the futility of focusing on petty differences becomes as clear as a supernova in a pitch-black sky. The value of unity shines brighter than a Quasar, and the path to collective awakening lights up like a comet streaking across the night. But wait, there's more! This Neptune-Pisces jamboree is not just about passive stargazing. It's an interactive event, a call to arms... or rather, to hearts. It's time to dig deep into the black holes of your emotional intelligence and unearth that unique gift you can contribute to the cosmic progress. Perhaps you've been contemplating learning Reiki, or reading tarot, or maybe you just want to create a sacred space in your home for meditation. Well, now is the perfect time to do it! The gravitational pull of Neptune in Pisces is practically begging you to align yourself with the cosmic vibrations and share your newfound knowledge with the world. So, get out there, my celestial comrades, and let your inner star shine. Remember, the cosmos doesn't make mistakes. You're here, you're now, and you're exactly where you need to be. May the force of Neptune in Pisces be with you!

Pluto in Aquarius: A Galactic Tale of Transformation

Dear Star-Watchers, brace yourselves! Our dear friend Pluto, a sassy little planetoid with a penchant for transformation - and not just the "new hairdo, new me" kind, but the deep, soul-stirring change - has sauntered into the realm of Aquarius. And this, my astro-nerds, is as exciting as discovering that your lightsaber also doubles as an espresso maker.

Now, put on your lab coats and grab your telescopes because when Pluto gets chatty with Aquarius, the sign of progress, we're not talking about a minor software update. We're talking full-on system reboot, the sort that makes you question if your reality is more Matrix than Middle Earth. It's like getting a software upgrade from MS-DOS to quantum computing.

Expect to see changes that would make Spock raise an eyebrow. Scientific breakthroughs? Check. Tech innovations that'd make R2-D2 look like a wind-up toy? Double check. A surge in space travel until it becomes as common as catching a Uber ride? You bet your Vulcan salute on it!

But here's where it gets really interesting, folks! Prepare for a tsunami of humanitarian evolution. The heroes of this epoch won't be the ones with the biggest Death Stars, but those who can extend their hands across galaxies to work together. It’s a time when systems that previously played 'Game of Thrones' might just start humming 'Kumbaya' around a cosmic campfire.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius is nudging us to take off our ego-tinted glasses and don a pair that sees us all as part of the same celestial family. It’s like Yoda whispering in your ear: “Think not only of yourself, but of all in the galaxy, you must.” So, will we rise to this interstellar challenge? Only time (and space) will tell!

So buckle up, my fellow space nerds, because the Pluto in Aquarius ride is like a hyperdrive trip through the cosmos. It's going to be an astronomical adventure of transformation that’s more mind-blowing than finding out Vader is your dad!

Surprises may be in store for you today. These surprises may be disruptive and, if so, they are designed to help you grow. Look upon them as challenges and learning experiences. Problems today could come because of your eccentric behavior. Avoid bohemian tendencies and doing things just to be different. People are likely to take offense at your uniqueness. Don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Be alert today as impulsiveness may lead to accidents. Resist the urge to overthrow everything just for the sake of something new.The ego is quite large when the Sun is square or opposite Uranus. This is largely due to the fact that these people’s very identities ride on their sense of personal freedom. It can be quite a challenge to get them to do what they don’t want to do, simply because they see any attempts to push them in a certain direction as threatening their freedom. These are very dynamic individuals who question tradition and authority, yet, paradoxically, are quite set in their own ways.These people have a love-hate relationship with their own uniqueness. Much of the time they are very proud of their original personalities. Other times, they feel a bit left out for being “different”. Although they are humanitarian in many ways, they can be a little brusque when it comes to sentimentality or what they perceive to be excessive attachment to the past or to tradition.When the Sun and Uranus form a challenging aspect, there can be a lot of nervous energy and defensiveness. It can be difficult to hold a 9 to 5 job or to develop steady routines. They work best when they can manage their own schedules. They work in spurts. When they are hit with creative inspiration, they are capable of tremendous effort. However, they can be quite temperamental, and it is very hard for them to pour their hearts and souls into something that they don’t “feel” for at the moment. They don’t like superficiality or pretense, which is an admirable trait. However, their disdain for pretense can be problematic in a world where people are expected to perform whether they are inspired or not! I have a daughter who has the Sun in challenging aspect to Uranus, and there was quite an adjustment period when she entered first grade–a time when kids begin to truly experience structure. When the children in her gym class were told to dance, she simply stood there, immobile. When asked why she was not dancing, she replied, “But I don’t feel the dance inside of me, so how can I dance?” Sun-Uranus people don’t always feel like they “fit in” with the rules and structures of society. However, those that recognize the need to conform at least some of the time may be able to channel their high levels of intuition, inventiveness, and spiritedness into creative endeavors or important causes. They might find that they encounter much less resistance in day-to-day life this way.Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Alan Alda, Billy Crystal, Stephen King, O.

Mercury

Mercury Square Jupiter

Your judgment may not be perfect today. You may tend to exaggerate and promise more than you can deliver. You may likely bite off more than you can chew. Mental arrogance is possible. Be tolerant of others' viewpoints. Be careful with contracts and other legal issues. You may appear closed-minded, smug or self-righteous to others.You love to express your ideas, sharing them with others quite readily. Jumping to conclusions can be a problem in your life. You often overlook details, preferring to discover the “big picture” quickly. Your thinking and studying habits are not always orderly or disciplined, and this can of course result in sloppiness. Especially with the opposition, you might vacillate between logical, precise thinking and an optimistic conclusion-drawing bent of mind, and in the process, it can be challenging for you to truly get to the heart of a subject or to focus for very long. You may confuse others with a critical flaw-finding conversation one moment, and an overly faithful and unrealistic opinion the next.While your intentions are generally good, you might overestimate what you are capable of, and promise more than you can deliver. Be careful not to develop a reputation for being unreliable, simply because you desire to make others happy with what you say or promise.You are inclined to exaggerate, often without meaning to, and you might have a hard time putting your ideas into practice. In an attempt to attach greater meaning to your thoughts and ideas, you might frequently overstate or overestimate. You can be extraordinarily funny and interesting.You possess an acute but disorderly mind; you can come to rapid conclusions without knowing all the facts. You must learn to be more disciplined, to concentrate more on details and to be more persistent with your projects. You are very generous and optimistic though your optimism can sometimes distance you from reality. — sample from the Adult report.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Arnold Bennett, Annie Bessant, Barry Bonds, Frank Capra, Julia Child, Jimmy Connors, Miles Davis, Dave Davies, Aretha Franklin, Madeline Kahn, Ted Kennedy Jr., Mata Hari, Bill Moyers, Ginger Rogers, Rod Stewart, John Travolta; Oppositions – Karen Allen, Chet Atkins, Dick Clark, Winston S.

Mars Sextile Neptune

Imagination, visualization, and intuition are strong today. This is a good day to be involved in the arts, with music, painting or poetry, or with spiritual activities such as prayer or meditation. Energy can also be put to good use by getting involved with charity or volunteer work. Spiritual growth comes by helping others. Take time to contemplate your own inner thoughts. Insights can be gained.You have a good understanding of the “give and take” of life and are sensitive to the needs of others. Anything that will benefit society as a whole has your approval. You would find satisfaction in a career that allows you to touch the lives of others.You are a romantic at heart and very sensitive in love. You must have honesty in your relationships and will accept nothing less. You are able to see through others to their real motivations, so insincerity is not easy to hide from you. Sometimes you can communicate with your lover without words, through expressions, gestures or “vibes.” You have strong emotional as well as physical needs, but your partner must also be refined and respectable. You seem to simply “know” things on a sexual level, which makes you an especially good lover. You pick up even the subtlest of nuances, and this intuitive understanding and “soft touch” is extremely attractive to many women. Your instinctive ability to be at the right place at the right time assists you greatly in life. This inherent spirituality can express itself well through the arts as well. Sexual fantasies are especially strong. In your life, you may become attracted to spiritual forms of sexuality, such as Tao and Tantra. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles About Him Report.Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: 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 Mars and Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Neptune: Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Kevin Kline, Pablo Picasso, LeBron James, Jimmy Fallon, Elijah Wood, Gary Cooper, Chris Martin, Pharrell Williams, Jackie Chan, Justin Timberlake, Hillary Clinton, ; Trines – Angelina Jolie, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Paul Newman, Charlie Hunnam, Joe Jonas, Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Colin Farrell, Clint Eastwood.

You may be tempted to bully people into doing your will. The spirit of competition is strong, but try to be cooperative instead. Much can be accomplished if you will use your energies and your indomitable will together, in harmony. Do not try to control people or events. Concentrate on doing your best and things will work out the way they are supposed to. People who are coerced to do your will, will at some time try to even up the score. It's not worth it. Avoid power struggles and be aware that someone might try to control you. If so, all you have to do is stand up for your rights.Your ability to commit yourself to a task or goal is tremendous. When inspired, you are able to draw upon great stores of strength and determination. You can be so single-minded and focused that you readily lose yourself in a particular task, possibly to the point of obsession! You can be very skilled at investigation and research. Quite automatically, you are interested in what motivates and drives others, which can make you a natural psychologist. You might find that you constantly challenge yourself to take on more and to do more. You might watch this tendency if it seems to take over your life, as you may never feel satisfied with your accomplishments. Your stamina and endurance tend to be stronger than most.You don’t take kindly to others’ attempts to bully or push you, and you can be extremely stubborn when pushed. You are always especially aware of, and sensitive to, others’ use of power and authority. Resentment can be a problem and letting things go can be very challenging. Your gut reactions are rather intense and emotional in quality. As you mature, you are likely to learn that detaching yourself a little helps you to be more objective and constructive.You might have some fear of your own anger, assertiveness, power, and drive, particularly early in life if your intense nature has been misunderstood. You are not always forthcoming about your intentions and plans, and you typically strategize well in pursuit of a goal rather than go after what you want loudly and directly. While this means you can out-maneuver practically anyone, and although your determination is admirable, you might watch for a somewhat paranoid tendency to keep your plans to yourself if this stems from fear that your intentions will be misunderstood. Whether or not you choose to take advantage of others is entirely up to you. There is an “all or nothing” quality to your nature. You put your heart into whatever it is you are doing, and although breaking ties or ending things can be challenging, once you’ve done it, there’s no going back.You possess a fascinating, alluring, and even commanding aura. You prefer that others see you as strong and in control. Allowing trusted people to see your more vulnerable qualities can take time.Your strong desire to make things happen through your own efforts can bring you much success. “What will be, will be” is certainly not your motto. However, this same quality can sometimes limit you, as you would benefit from more detachment and the discovery that some things can’t or shouldn’t happen just now.#At some point in your life you may feel that the gods or goddesses step in to impose changes on you. What you make of these moments determines your spiritual future. Generally, whatever effort you make will be well worth your time.Some Famous People with Mars conjunct Pluto: Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Ringo Starr, Yves St. Laurent, Brooke Shields, Boz Scaggs, Franklin Roosevelt, Paul McCartney, Sarah Jessica Parker, Melanie Griffith, Zelda Fitzgerald, Tony Curtis.

Organized expansion into new areas can further your goals. You have a serious minded, responsible attitude toward achieving your long range goals.You have an underlying self-confidence that is based on your belief that life will give you whatever you want if you are willing to work for it.

You have a taste for material acquisition but are willing to work for what comes to you. — Interpretation from the Indra report.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects.

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.
