of the Moment
These are the major aspects in effect, at this moment, for everyone.
Note: these major aspects use an "orb" of +/- 3 degrees.
Moon trine Pluto
(angle: 239.1°)
A serious mood.
Weak, transient effect: This morning your feelings and emotions are much more intense, but at the same time your sensitivity is stimulated. You feel everything much more powerfully than usual, and you are not likely to take your feelings or anyone elses lightly. It puts you in a serious mood and makes you seek the most powerful and intimate encounters with another. Sexual relationships may be considerably enriched, because this influence enables you to get past the superficial levels of communication that may have been driving you and your loved one apart. In this way you can again feel as one. In general, life will call you to approach it with some passion and feeling. And if you can respond, it can be a very rich and rewarding experience in which you learn much about your feelings.
Mercury conjunct Venus
(angle: 1.1°)
Mental or emotional?
This influence can have a variety of effects. First of all, it can stimulate your appreciation of beauty, your interest in art, music or poetry. It may also indicate that you will tell someone that you love him or that you will discuss your relationship with someone. This influence works primarily upon the mind rather than the feelings and is often expressed as an intellectual appreciation of beauty. However, to a considerable extent it also removes the distinctions between mental and emotional. You may experience concepts with great emotional feeling or express emotions in an intellectual manner. The area in which feeling and intellect can best be synthesized is in the arts. Thus you are much more receptive than usual to experiences through art
Mercury conjunct Neptune
(angle: 358°)
Imaginative power.
The positive side of this influence is that it enables you to think and express yourself with great subtlety, allowing you to express ideas and feelings that you usually cannot; therefore it is very favorable for all forms of artistic expression. On the other hand, this imaginative power can get so out of hand that it changes from imagination to illusion. Be sure to subject all the ideas that come to you now to the test of time to find out whether they are of lasting value or just a fantasy of a moment. This influence can indicate unclear and confused thinking. Be particularly careful in your personal communications, because others may misunderstand you even though you think you have been completely clear. Avoid any situation that depends for success on the complete honesty and clarity of each participant.
Venus conjunct Saturn
(angle: 2.4°)
Reflections.
During this time, love and affection are strongly tempered by practical considerations. Sometimes under this influence you will ask an older persons advice about relationships, for you are reflecting about the state of your life and what your relationships mean to it. There is little tendency toward self-indulgence today. Your actions are characterized by restraint, which is usually good if you have to economize or recognize the limitations of your pocketbook. Under some conditions, this influence can indicate difficulties with your love relationships. You may not feel warm or affectionate, and you may alienate loved ones by seeming to be indifferent. A relationship that comes about during this time may be a long-lived but not flamboyant one, characterized by loyalty and soberness
Venus sextile Uranus
(angle: 302.2°)
New friends.
Under this influence you will seek an exciting break from your daily routine. You also attract new friends, because under this influence you show a fascinating, different side of your personality in a way that is winning and attractive. If a relationship that starts today does last more than a short time, it may revolutionize your life in some way. You will have to give your friend or lover great freedom, because there is no room for possessiveness or jealously in such a relationship. But if you can live in such an unstructured relationship, your understanding of life and of yourself will be greatly broadened. In most relationships people do not need to make as many demands upon each other as they do, mostly out of mutual insecurity. You are able to understand this at this time
Mars trine Saturn
(angle: 240.6°)
Seeing clearly.
This influence confers patience and willingness to do difficult and exacting work. Therefore, this is a good time to do any work that you have to keep on plugging at, even though it isnt rewarding. If this influence comes during a period that is otherwise difficult, it guarantees that for the moment at least you will be able to cope with your situation, no matter how difficult it becomes. Intellectual or physical work that requires perseverance and great attention to detail is favored by this influence. Also, this influence will help you get to know yourself better. The close attention to detail that characterizes your way of seeing now will help you see yourself and your own reactions very clearly
Mars sextile Uranus
(angle: 59.2°)
New viewpoints.
Your thinking is much more impulsive and changeable than usual under this influence. On the one hand, this makes you rather unpredictable and even unreliable, as far as the people around you are concerned. But it also gives you the capacity to break out of the rut, both psychologically and in your activities. You are able to see fresh new viewpoints and think originally. More to the point, you are able to make practical use of your new insights in everyday life. In your drive for new experiences, you may also seek out new friendships or associate with your more exciting stimulating friends, persons you dont normally associate with because they are too unsettling or unpredictable. Now you are in just the mood for that kind of personality
Saturn sextile Uranus
(angle: 299.8°)
Challenging the status quo.
Valid during many months: At this time there is a balance between the old and the new in your life, between conservatism and the desire to experiment. You are able to take a new experience, see its potential and give it a concrete form in your life. You approach life with patience, willing to give everything a chance to prove itself. Consequently this is an excellent time for studying any kind of demanding new material. You can also teach the techniques you have learned to others. You may find it desirable to work with other people in the projects that you undertake now. Their insights will help you transcend your own limitations. The changes you made in your life several years ago have taken a concrete form now. You may have moved, changed the structure of your relationships or changed your job at that time. Under this influence, these matters are stable, for you realize that your life is different now and perhaps more appropriate to what you are. You may feel that you can encompass anything new that comes along now, and it is quite likely that you are more able to do so than usual. And it is good for you to try new approaches - dont reject challenges to the status quo. Incorporate them into yourself if they reveal valid flaws in your life as it is. In a few years it will be much harder to make these challenges a part of your life, and you may be forced to make changes under less desirable conditions. Your sense of internal pressure will be much greater then, and you are more likely to act in a disordered or disruptive way.
