Today's Forecast
Astrology
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.
Sun square Mars
(angle: 87.2°)
High energy.
Your energy level will be high, perhaps too high if you are not careful. Watch for signs of irritable impatience with others whenever things do not go exactly as you planned. Be assertive only when the situation calls for it, not whenever you feel like it. Also watch out for baseless conflicts with others, which you may not necessarily instigate yourself. Today you should be particularly careful of conflicts with authorities. Voice your complaints if they are legitimate, but expect a certain amount of hostile reaction to them. Also be careful that the tone of your complaint does not aggravate this hostility. What you get is usually a function of the energies that you put out. On the physical level, try to find an outlet for your vigorous energies.
Sun square Pluto
(angle: 267.6°)
Letting go.
Today you may have to encounter and even oppose powerful pressures and forces exerted upon you, both from without and from within. The way you live and exert your energies will be tested today, perhaps forcing you to make radical changes in the areas of your life that you find are not working very well. The best way to use this influence is to let go of old patterns of behavior that todays events demonstrate to be invalid. Holding on to them will only make your life more difficult, and if you give them up, you will have room for the positive creative changes that can take place now. Also you may have to contend with the breakdown of machines or situations. Anything that tends not to function very smoothly will work very poorly today. It is time to straighten out the situation or fix up the mechanical problem.
Venus conjunct Saturn
(angle: 0.3°)
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: 301.7°)
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 Neptune
(angle: 122.5°)
Helping others.
Under this influence your energy is best expressed by activities whose principal goal is helping others. You may feel like doing very little, and certainly you will not be very self-assertive. But you are able to work with a spirit of true self-sacrifice and a desire to help others. Now you are more conscious of other peoples needs and wants, because your own ego needs arent very great. The only problem to watch out for is the temptation to view yourself as a kind of savior helping those who are lower or worse off than yourself. This influence can always create illusions, and you may think you are being totally unselfish when you are really on one of the strongest but subtlest ego trips of all. This is a good time to look at your life objectively to see what it really is without judging or condemning
Mars opposite Pluto
(angle: 180.4°)
Fierce opposition.
You strive to get ahead and are prepared to work hard. This time can represent the culmination of successful effort, or it can be a time when the opposition becomes so fierce that you have to give up. If you are tempted to try to gain control over others, be very careful. Eventually you might find yourself opposed by everyone whom you have ever tried to rule. Nevertheless, your energies are high during this time, and you should express them by making creative and positive changes in your life. If you try to suppress these energies completely, it is more likely that you will have to contend with someone else. Under extreme circumstances this influence can signify acts of violence. For this reason, avoid situations that involve real danger, bad neighborhoods and the like
Saturn sextile Uranus
(angle: 301.4°)
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.
