Transit Report for January 1 - April 30, 2002
Transit MERCURY trine natal Uranus
Jan 1 through Jan 2, Exact on Jan 1
Information, ideas, and activities you encounter during this period are apt to deal with larger societal issues that have nothing much to do with your personal affairs. However, since this is a favorable influence, you may be able to turn such otherwise impersonal ideas or situations to some personal advantage. It is an excellent time, for example, to attend meetings or organizational activities. Unexpected personal benefits may be gained either through the information you pick up, or as a result of the people you impress with your knowledge or ideas. Discuss hopes and aspirations, join organizations, and expand your circle of friends. You may be successful at this time if you are involved with scientific and technical projects, computers, travel by air, international finances, and sociological issues.
MERCURY transit House Seven
Enters on Jan 1
The focus of your ideas and discussions these days is likely to concern lawyers and legal matters, debates, contract negotiations, partnership or other alliances, and joint ventures of any kind. There is increased potential under this influence for meeting with various consultants and for sharing spontaneous conversations with retail clerks, bank tellers, those waiting in line with you at the super market, and other people you happen to meet.
Transit URANUS square natal Saturn
Jan 1 through Jan 14
During this period a disruption creates some sort of a generation gap. There is a threat to seniority or authority. This situation is not likely to be caused by you so much as it is by the actions or decisions of others in the outer environment. You may or may not be personally drawn into a conflict between new ideas and methods and the traditional thinking which you, as well as many others of your approximate age, base your life style and approach to things. The thing to understand, however, is that one system does not have to destroy the other. There can be workable alternatives if you choose to find them.
Transit NEPTUNE conjoined natal Venus
Jan 1 through Jan 15
Dealing with and relating to others on a clear and rational basis is not going to be easy during the long period in which this influence prevails. Naturally your age, maturity, past experiences, current circumstances, and of course, other planetary influences that also occur at the same time will contribute to the final outcome. But in spite of these other factors, the focus of this particular period is going to perceptibly alter your social behavior and attitudes, relationships with a partner (business as well as marriage) and other allies, romantic partners, and female relationships. The positive potential suggests greater imagination, sensitivity, and instinctual responses that produce remarkably close and successful relations. The negative potential indicates that misunderstanding, confusion, obsessiveness, and even paranoia can undermine your success with others. Your ideals or expectations concerning others may be unrealistic. Because of the possibility of disillusionment and deception you are at risk in joint ventures, artistic projects, legal negotiations, and romantic adventures. The pursuit of physical pleasures, luxury, and wealth can be ruinous if you have no recourse to prudence and moderation. Negative circumstances may cause your whole value system to disintegrate; while positive circumstances help you establish better values or vindicate the ones you have. Your talent and appreciation for art and beauty are greatly enhanced.
Transit PLUTO sextile natal Mercury
Jan 1 through Jan 6
The influence surrounding you during this period is not strong or dynamic enough to cause much change unless it is supplemented by the occurrence of other factors and circumstances that encourage its energy and particular focus. The energy of the influence is favorable however, and is represented by an opportunity to gain power or control, to revitalize or renovate something that has been lost, or to make a new start. Knowing there is a certain amount of favorable energy available, it is then up to you to be on the lookout for possibilities that may come along, and to take advantage of them when they do. You can also use the people and circumstances you encounter to create your own opportunities. All that has just been described relates during this period to education, communications, writing, computers, travel, transportation, sales and other business transactions, community affairs, and contacts with siblings-- and to situations that will eventually lead to your participation or success in these areas. You may also get a chance that will lead to the use or development of your ideas, methods, or basic mechanical or design skills.
Transit MARS sextile natal Mars
Jan 1 through Jan 4, Exact on Jan 2
People and situations you encounter or that you attract at this time are likely to help you accomplish physical tasks. Opportunity that others give you is apt to also directly or indirectly help them accomplish their own physical goals. This is a period when the attitude of you scratch my back and Ill scratch yours is the most successful approach to getting things done-- and it keeps everyone busy. Under this influence the more physical energy you use, the more you will generate. Accomplishing one task will lead to another.
Transit MERCURY trine natal Neptune
Jan 2 through Jan 4, Exact on Jan 3
This is a tricky time. Even though luck is on your side, there are no guarantees that you will make proper use of the information, ideas, or activities you experience. Reality will probably not be allowed to intrude as inspiration and instincts rule the day. Your imagination and intuition are enhanced and can prove to be highly useful by putting you in the right place at the right time. Under this influence certain activities are favored such as photography, illusion, charitable causes, design of footwear, swim wear, and boats, spiritual guidance, promotion, advertising, travel on or over water, the sale or purchase of waterfront property, marine equipment, swim gear, seafood, oil, liquor, and drugs.
Transit MERCURY opposed natal Pluto
Jan 5 through Jan 7, Exact on Jan 6
There is likely to be a certain amount of intensity in the information or ideas you present as well as what you receive. It may be difficult to pinpoint the opposing forces that seem to generate intensity, but they are there nonetheless. It may be that you are so intent on exerting the force of your own thoughts you refuse to listen, or that others attempt to manipulate your ideas to their advantage. It just isnt the best time for easy exchanges or free thinking. Information may be withheld as a form of paranoia or protection, or the wrong information is deliberately given in an effort to mislead. This all seems a bit much for ordinary lives and pursuits, but you may experience the potential in small ways. If you are invited to dinner, for instance, and enjoy a particular dish, dont be tempted to ask your hostess for the recipe. Nor, in the reverse situation, may you be any more willing to part with such information.
Transit SUN trine natal Mars
Jan 6 through Jan 9, Exact on Jan 8
The positive energy and vitality that accompanies this influence favors all your physical efforts, the only drawback being that it also promotes a tendency for laziness. Lacking sufficient aggressiveness or the competitive spirit, you may see no necessity for taking advantage of favorable circumstances that are at hand. Avoiding the potential for indolence or a too passive attitude will net ample dividends. Superiors are impressed with your work. Male relationships and dealing with men or masculine products are favored. An excellent time to get a hair cut, attend or participate in sporting events, engage in open confrontation. If other factors do not negate the fortunate influence of this period, this is the best time to undergo surgery or dental work.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Venus
Jan 7 through Jan 9, Exact on Jan 8
You are likely to seek advice and ideas on how to improve your social life, employ proper etiquette, enhance your appearance, or redecorate or harmonize your environment. Discussing common goals with a partner or other allies may be on the agenda. If you are usually not very good at engaging in small talk with others, this influence may improve the situation. Discussions and activities at this time can feature art or music instructions, romance, humor, and may tend to include a little more gossip than usual. Advice and information is at hand in regard to partnership, joint ventures, contract negotiations and legal matters. Under this influence your concerns may also involve wedding plans, divorce proceedings, social events, or how you can elicit the cooperation of others.
Transit MARS sextile natal Saturn
Jan 5 through Jan 9, Exact on Jan 8
If you are a well-prepared, organized individual with definite goals, you are in the best position to take advantage of opportunities that come along during this period. Nor should you hesitate to go out and deliberately create opportunities to demonstrate your experience and maturity. If you are not such a highly structured, goal-oriented individual, the people and situations you encounter under this influence can offer you the inspiration you need to become better organized, and help you to lay a more solid foundation for the type of success you wish to achieve. This period represents a chance to take advantage of any seniority or position of authority you have in order to get something done.
Transit VENUS trine natal Mars
Jan 8 through Jan 10, Exact on Jan 9
Diplomacy is transformed into positive physical actions under this influence. Enthusiasm is high for energetic interactions with others, as it is for most physical activities. This is not the time to be alone. Work or play requires a partner, or at the very least being around others in order to get the stimulation and feedback you need to accomplish things. Youll be delighted to put your efforts behind a wedding, a party, or for that matter, any social event. You may experience enhanced appreciation for elegant cars, luxurious travel, or well-designed machinery of one sort or another. Compliments and appreciation for your talent as well as the cooperation you may receive from others during this period can actually make the difference between success or failure in many of your efforts. Relations with the opposite sex are exceptionally smooth, and if they are not, you can easily promote a more agreeable atmosphere. Life can be very romantic, literally as well as in every other sense of the word. Dont pass up the chance during this fortunate period to pursue creative and artistic endeavors. You are also apt to emerge the winner in most risk-taking ventures.
Transit SUN trine natal Saturn
Jan 10 through Jan 13, Exact on Jan 12
Hard work, planning and organization can really pay off during this period. That those in charge will be suitably impressed by your past efforts is only one of the rewards you can reap. On the other hand, if your previous activities have not been carefully planned or organized, this period can successfully mark the beginning of such efforts. It will be well worth your while to accept whatever responsibilities come along, and to initiate important projects that will require long-term efforts, especially if they are related to real estate, business, building, or engineering. Use the fortunate potential of this influence to seek favors from those in authority and those who are older, wiser, and have more experience than yourself. In turn, if you allow others to benefit from your own seniority and experience you will also gain a distinct advantage.
Transit MERCURY trine natal Jupiter
Jan 11 through Jan 14, Exact on Jan 12
Information, ideas, and activities you encounter during this period have the potential to enhance your intellectual endeavors and boost your economic or social status in one way or another. You may be in just the right place at the right time with the right information. Ideas may tend toward the dramatic and grandiose, but they have their place in the scheme of things at this time. What should be avoided, however, is overconfidence and being too far out of touch with reality and practicality. Favorable outcomes are possible in such areas as religious or political activities, court decisions, publishing, advertising, long-distance travel, cultural pursuits, and dealings with those of another race or culture.
Transit VENUS trine natal Saturn
Jan 11 through Jan 13, Exact on Jan 12
You have a wonderful chance to succeed if you seek to establish solid, long-lasting relationships during this period. Romance as well as friendships are based on mutual commitment and responsibility along with love and affection. Others are attracted to your maturity and accomplishment. Endeavors that involve formal agreements, diplomacy, contracts, and other legal matters are likely to produce long-lasting, successful results. Your efforts to bring organization and stability to social groups will not go unrewarded. Should you happen to be seeking a position of greater authority at this time, others will favor your promotion.
Transit MARS sextile natal Uranus
Jan 11 through Jan 15, Exact on Jan 14
Physical circumstances during this period may give you a chance to introduce a change or new concepts into some aspect of your life or the lives of others. This influence implies opportunity to take advantage of new or nontraditional methods, as well as situations that give you a chance to demonstrate unique methods that you have devised. Other potentials include circumstances that allow you to change current methods, machinery, or mechanical devices in such a way that more people will be able to take advantage of them. Either that, or you have a chance to benefit from such changes that were made by others. Taking advantage of the energy of this influence, you may be able to inspire and coordinate group efforts to accomplish certain tasks.
Transit SUN trine natal Uranus
Jan 14 through Jan 17, Exact on Jan 16
Trying a different or unique approach to things works to your advantage, in fact, might succeed better than you ever dreamed possible. However, being different just to be different is not likely to work at all. Your plan or idea has to have a solid foundation. Participation in group efforts, organizational or club meetings, fund-raising, and political activities is favored at this time. Under this influence you are also encouraged to socialize with friends and spend time with children and their activities.
SUN transit House Seven
Enters on Jan 16
You are concerned with the influence you exercise over other people and your ability to elicit their cooperation. Do others see you as strong, independent, forceful? If you are married or living with someone you are likely to assess your role in the union from a purely egotistical point of view. Do you dominate your partner, or is it the other way around? Does the partnership help or impede your growth as an individual? Has your monetary potential or social status been improved as a result of the relationship? These issues also apply to business alliances you share. Your ego is a bigger factor in interactions. You are apt to become more assertive in legal matters, contracts, negotiations, and interactions with people in general. By choice or circumstances you are likely to engage in more than your fair share of open conflicts and opposition these days. If you become unreasonably stubborn or antagonistic, trying to resolve conflicts or reach compromises will be a formidable task.
Transit VENUS trine natal Uranus
Jan 14 through Jan 17, Exact on Jan 16
The people and situations you encounter are likely to attract you in a general sort of way. By this is meant that they appeal to most people of your particular generation. On the other hand, other people may be attracted to you at this time simply because of something you reflect that is characteristic of your generation. Under this influence you can be successful in activities that involve antiques, history, and technology. Enthusiasm for equality and justice flourishes. Cooperation, diplomacy, and sociable dispositions are also encouraged making this a fortunate period for friendships, organizations, and group activities.
VENUS transit House Seven
Enters on Jan 16
The emphasis shifts away from you to other people in your life. It is a period in which partnerships are heavily emphasized. In addition to increased focus on those with whom you are already allied in marriage or business, the potential circumstances also include the possibility of establishing new partnerships and joint ventures. Should negative circumstances exist in any of your alliances, this is a time of increased pressure to resolve disagreements. Under this influence you are also likely to be concerned with legal matters, contract negotiations of one kind or another, public relations, the income of a relative, and various situations in which you must seek as well as offer cooperation.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Mercury
Jan 15 through Jan 20
Under this influence you may find just the piece of information you are looking for. You may also come across ideas and methods that are quite similar or parallel to your own. There is apt to be a constant stream of communication coming at you from all directions. You should not have to go very far to seek information you need at this time because everything is likely to be found in your own neighborhood. Plans, designs, mechanical projects, as well as the purchase or repair of mechanical equipment, from cars to typewriters, can be the primary focus of your current plans and activities.
Transit VENUS trine natal Neptune
Jan 17 through Jan 19, Exact on Jan 18
You can be a master of disguise -- become whatever others want you to be--and get away with it. At least for the time being. There is no guarantee a charade of any kind will last beyond this influence. However, for theatrical, artistic, and even spiritual purposes you can be very inspiring. The entire scenario may be just as true in reverse. The people and situations you encounter during this period will take on certain characteristics you need them to have, whether or not they possess these traits under ordinary circumstances. In either case, you can take advantage of the positive possibilities while remaining aware of the illusionary effects. Under this influence romance, promotional activities, and joint ventures are intuitively in synch. Such endeavors can be highly successful, especially if those involved as well as their goals are able to withstand an inevitable confrontation with reality. A wonderful period to seek a more glamorous image, to photograph and be photographed, to dance or learn to dance, to participate in social events that benefit a charitable or religious organization, and to take a vacation by the sea.
Transit MARS opposed natal Neptune
Jan 15 through Jan 19, Exact on Jan 18
Efforts are apt to come to nothing, or at least not accomplish the purpose for which they were intended. This unfortunate potential should not become an excuse to remain totally idle, since many efforts that are carried out on a daily or routine basis are not necessarily threatened during this period. However, the prospect of erosion chipping away at the available physical energy and enthusiasm would suggest that it is not wise to invest your time and efforts in new activities or vague, disorganized projects. Under this influence charitable acts can be misguided. Work methods are inept, inefficient, or incorrect. Water sports pose the risk of danger, as do fishing trips, ocean cruises, and work that involves photography, gas, oil, and explosive or corrosive chemicals. It is not a favorable time for you to try new medication, take an anesthetic, alcohol, and drugs. Illusion and deception are constant threats. This influence has a strong potential for surprise attack. Be alert but not paranoid.
Transit SUN trine natal Neptune
Jan 17 through Jan 20, Exact on Jan 19
A time when others, especially superiors, may be impressed with your imagination, spirituality, and sensitivity. They may also be impressed with your charitable acts or your skills in such particular areas as those that involve photography, swimming, sailing, water sports or therapy, or dancing. With or without the presence of superiors or other people around all the same things may nevertheless be enhanced for you in some way. Activities especially favored now also include covert activities and handling highly confidential matters. Others may be attracted to you, or you to them, by something that seems unattainable or mysterious. This is a time to follow hunches, pay attention to dreams, and allow yourself to become truly inspired spiritually and artistically in whatever way presents itself.
Transit VENUS opposed natal Pluto
Jan 20 through Jan 23, Exact on Jan 22
Obsession, possessiveness, and jealousy find fertile ground in the situations you encounter during this period. Cut-throat competitiveness and underhanded manipulation lurk, ready to pounce. Things that may not normally have any deep significance can become passionate power struggles, or worse. Partnership and alliances, romantic or otherwise, as well as cooperative efforts suffer from lack of trust. It is a difficult influence to describe since overt reactions can be very subtle and impossible to detect. The most innocent of gestures or scenes can evoke destructive memories of past slights; slights that may have absolutely no connection with the present. Whether or not you are the perpetrator or the victim in any of the potential circumstances is not indicated. The idea is not to encourage such situations if they appear. Keep a low profile, and sit this dance out.
Transit SUN opposed natal Pluto
Jan 22 through Jan 25, Exact on Jan 24
Others will stand firmly in your way if you try to get to the bottom of things. Save research and investigation or engaging in power plays until another time. This is not an influence that encourages success if you want to dig up the past, try to collect a debt, undergo psychological analysis, recycle materials, and start a renovation or restoration project. Others will be intimidated by or envious of your self-control or any power you have. It will not be to your advantage to deliberately inspire such feelings but theres very little youll be able to do about it if others insist on feeling that way. Dont waste your time trying to salvage egos.
Transit MERCURY trine natal Jupiter
Jan 22 through Jan 25, Exact on Jan 24
Information, ideas, and activities you encounter during this period have the potential to enhance your intellectual endeavors and boost your economic or social status in one way or another. You may be in just the right place at the right time with the right information. Ideas may tend toward the dramatic and grandiose, but they have their place in the scheme of things at this time. What should be avoided, however, is overconfidence and being too far out of touch with reality and practicality. Favorable outcomes are possible in such areas as religious or political activities, court decisions, publishing, advertising, long-distance travel, cultural pursuits, and dealings with those of another race or culture.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Venus
Jan 23 through Jan 25, Exact on Jan 24
If you are alone, this is a period when you wish others were around. If you are in the company of others, you are more apt to appreciate their companionship, care, and affection. Under this influence everything seems to be on a mutual basis. You admire someone, they admire you, you like red, they like red. Whatever you give others these days is what you would like to receive, and others you encounter will tend to treat you in similar fashion. It is apt to be an enjoyable period of polite manners and pleasant, stimulating encounters.
Transit MARS trine natal Pluto
Jan 21 through Jan 26, Exact on Jan 24
Research and investigation flourish during this period. You can really get to the bottom of things with the help of the intense, focused energy that surrounds you. Psychological analysis, assessment of property, and financial investments are infused with a physical focus that gives keener perception to the intellectual efforts involved in these matters. Under this influence you have all the control you need if you do not take it for granted, and you recognize how to apply its subtle but deadly accurate force. Your recuperative powers, should you need them, are at a high level.
Transit SUN conjoined natal Venus
Jan 25 through Jan 28, Exact on Jan 27
During this period you are, or should try to be, more outgoing, attractive, and appreciative of beauty. Relationships, especially romance and marriage, are emphasized. An important alliance or partnership may be established, or, in the case of the negative potential, difficulties with others may arise due to stubborn pride, dominance, or selfish manipulation. Social activities, artistic endeavors, legal matters, negotiations, and diplomacy are some of the likely targets of your time and attention. Be aware that under this influence self-indulgence may trip you up, tempting you to buy expensive clothes, luxury items, expensive services or entertainment you cannot afford.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Venus
Jan 26 through Jan 29, Exact on Jan 28
You are likely to seek advice and ideas on how to improve your social life, employ proper etiquette, enhance your appearance, or redecorate or harmonize your environment. Discussing common goals with a partner or other allies may be on the agenda. If you are usually not very good at engaging in small talk with others, this influence may improve the situation. Discussions and activities at this time can feature art or music instructions, romance, humor, and may tend to include a little more gossip than usual. Advice and information is at hand in regard to partnership, joint ventures, contract negotiations and legal matters. Under this influence your concerns may also involve wedding plans, divorce proceedings, social events, or how you can elicit the cooperation of others.
Transit VENUS trine natal Jupiter
Jan 26 through Jan 29, Exact on Jan 28
Theres no telling what good thing can happen under this fortunate influence. Try your luck at the horse races and other sporting events or with lottery tickets. You could be the winner in a beauty or photography contest or emerge the favorite in a theater audition. Artistic and musical endeavors are successful. This is also a time when you are likely to receive the recognition or success you deserve for your efforts in writing, publishing, advertising, higher education, politics, religion, direct-mail promotions, long distance travel, dealing with those of another race or culture, and foreign languages. You are favored in court decisions and other judgments. There is a potential problem connected with all of this. Unhappy consequences can occur when there is too much of a good thing; overindulgence, wastefulness, exaggeration and physical laziness --any or all of which can prevent you from gaining the true benefits of this fortunate period.
Transit MARS sextile natal Venus
Jan 25 through Jan 29, Exact on Jan 28
Opportunities that may lead to romance, social activities, partnership, and joint ventures are potentials implied by this period. There is no guarantee that such potentials will automatically come your way. Success is more likely to be the result of deliberately putting yourself in situations that generate such opportunities. This favorable influence encourages you to help others attain their goals, and in return, you will be able to ask for their assistance in your own efforts. Legal matters, contract negotiations, enhancement of your physical appearance, and artistic projects may eventually be successful as a result of opportunities offered by present circumstances.
Transit MERCURY opposed natal Pluto
Jan 28 through Jan 31, Exact on Jan 30
There is likely to be a certain amount of intensity in the information or ideas you present as well as what you receive. It may be difficult to pinpoint the opposing forces that seem to generate intensity, but they are there nonetheless. It may be that you are so intent on exerting the force of your own thoughts you refuse to listen, or that others attempt to manipulate your ideas to their advantage. It just isnt the best time for easy exchanges or free thinking. Information may be withheld as a form of paranoia or protection, or the wrong information is deliberately given in an effort to mislead. This all seems a bit much for ordinary lives and pursuits, but you may experience the potential in small ways. If you are invited to dinner, for instance, and enjoy a particular dish, dont be tempted to ask your hostess for the recipe. Nor, in the reverse situation, may you be any more willing to part with such information.
MARS transit House Ten
Enters on Jan 30
The energy and enthusiasm of the present influence are directed primarily toward self-promotion. Career or other long range goals are emphasized, and you may be motivated to take important actions that will affect your future. You work hard to get attention from the public and those with power and influence. You may not necessarily desire to call attention to yourself, but the fact that you or your efforts will gain pubic attention one way or another is well within the realm of possibility during this period. Even if you have no access to a public forum, you may experience an increased urge to have others notice what you are doing. Your more or less public actions may be carried out on behalf of another person or a cause in which you believe. This is also a time when activities that involve superiors or authority figures increase. This means you may either do a lot of extra work with your boss, or for the government or those with similar authority. Largely because of your efforts, a male relative or superior may receive recognition or enhanced status at this time.
Transit SUN trine natal Jupiter
Jan 29 through Feb 1, Exact on Jan 31
A period to feel good about your own integrity, explore your spirituality and broaden your intellectual horizons. These efforts are not only favored in and of themselves, they are likely to inspire the admiration of those with influence. This is no time for false modesty and empty gestures. Sincere generosity and devotion to the truth brings success. Enjoyment in everything is enhanced and humor can be found in every situation. Cultural events, long-distance travel, religious activities, political interests, speculative ventures, banking and investment, publishing, and advertising campaigns can be successfully launched under this fortunate influence. Judgments are in your favor.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Mercury
Jan 29 through Feb 1, Exact on Jan 31
By choice or circumstances you are encouraged to communicate with partners, allies, and all those with whom you are involved in joint ventures. You may experience a greater need or opportunity to share your thoughts with others. There may also be an increase in the number of people who want to share their ideas with you. Unless other factors intrude to spoil the otherwise fortunate potential of this period, public relations, debate, negotiations, counseling, and legal matters should proceed well. Under this influence you are apt to say (or write) just the right thing to the right person at the right time. It should also be an excellent period for correspondence that you receive as well as that which you send; likely as these messages are to contain good news, entertaining humor, or both. Cordial business relations, successful community activities, agreeable meetings and get-togethers, art and music instructions are other possible highlights on your current agenda.
VENUS transit House Eight
Enters on Jan 31
Joint income and social status, acquired either through marriage or business partnership, are two issues likely to surface for one reason or another during this period. Common goals and values are also apt to play no small part in the circumstances that occur. Under this influence you are likely to feel more intense with regard to social contacts as well as romance or sexual encounters, especially from the standpoint of psychological motivations and behavior patterns involved in these relationships. This can be a productive period to participate in group therapy. Pleasures are bound to be more deeply felt, though a certain lightheartedness may be missing. If there are no obvious impediments to prevent you from doing so, this is a good time to ask for loans or favors as well as to collect on those that you are owed.
Transit VENUS square natal Mars
Jan 31 through Feb 3, Exact on Feb 2
Competitive spirits are aroused in your current circumstances. As long as you dont become overly aggressive, or allow others to assume that manner in dealing with you, the potential for excitement and stimulation of a physical nature can lead to some great adventures. You can use the added energy for many things, not the least of which is to burn off calories, accomplish the tasks at hand, and enjoy the stimulation of challenging interactions with the opposite sex. Dont overreact physically to insult and allow the pursuit of pleasure or revenge to rob you of what might have been just the right prod you needed to get moving. Maturity is needed.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Moon
Jan 31 through Feb 3, Exact on Feb 2
This is a favorable period for entertaining, especially in your home, and especially when such activities involve family members as well as friends. The urge to enhance your physical attractiveness or beautify your domestic environment is likely to increase while you are under this influence. You may also be fortunate enough to find just the right person to assist you in such projects. If negative circumstances do not also happen to occur at this time to spoil the otherwise positive effect of this influence, you should be feeling very sociable and amiably inclined when in the company of others. Romantic and sensual are other potential adjectives that may describe your mood during this period. You are more sensitive to relationships, and, in addition to the romantic potential of interactions that you encounter, harmony and peace in family relationships are also enhanced. Dining in a beautiful setting with those who may fit the same description lifts your spirits. Your luck increases. You may put yourself in fortunate circumstances as a result of following your instincts and intuition rather than the cold hard facts.
Transit MARS sextile natal Jupiter
Feb 1 through Feb 5, Exact on Feb 3
Present circumstances may bring opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge or expertise. Creating your own opportunity to show off is also likely to lead to success. This period favors taking advantage of people and situations in ways that will eventually lead to advancement in your professional status, broader intellectual horizons, attainment of cultural pursuits, greater spiritual awareness, success in sports, realization of political ambitions, or international travel. Under this influence your physical efforts may give you a chance to enjoy the good life, move up the social ladder, publish a book or other material, exhibit your sense of humor, or participate in theatrical productions.
Transit SUN conjoined natal Mercury
Feb 2 through Feb 5, Exact on Feb 4
A day to travel, communicate, and present your ideas and opinions with confidence and enthusiasm. You may also benefit from the ideas and experiences of those in charge so do not hesitate to consult them for information or advice. Be prepared, however, because they may be the ones who ask you for information. Your creative thinking can be enhanced under this influence, and you may be able to devise some very clever solutions. Though there is greater generosity in sharing your knowledge or mechanical skills with others, there can also be increased intellectual competitiveness.
SUN transit House Eight
Enters on Feb 4
Your ego becomes involved with such priorities as money and status (or lack of either) gained through inheritance, business partners or marriage. The payment of debts you owe as well as collecting debts and favors that are owed to you are other concerns. By choice or circumstances you start developing or using skills that can make you more independent in financial and other ways. A medical emergency may arise, or you may decide to investigate or undergo elective surgery during this period. You may be confronted intellectually, psychologically, or physically with sexual matters and situations. Under this influence increased determination and willpower can make you more demanding and critical. It may be more difficult for you to make compromises but the enhancement of your focus and concentration can contribute to progress in research and investigative projects, and help you acquire a deeper understanding of psychological motivations and behavior.
Transit MERCURY trine natal Neptune
Feb 2 through Feb 14, Exact on Feb 5, Feb 12
This is a tricky time. Even though luck is on your side, there are no guarantees that you will make proper use of the information, ideas, or activities you experience. Reality will probably not be allowed to intrude as inspiration and instincts rule the day. Your imagination and intuition are enhanced and can prove to be highly useful by putting you in the right place at the right time. Under this influence certain activities are favored such as photography, illusion, charitable causes, design of footwear, swim wear, and boats, spiritual guidance, promotion, advertising, travel on or over water, the sale or purchase of waterfront property, marine equipment, swim gear, seafood, oil, liquor, and drugs.
Transit VENUS square natal Saturn
Feb 4 through Feb 6, Exact on Feb 5
What seems like rejection may not be, or what may actually be rejection can work to your advantage. Unhappiness at being unable to afford the cost of something may go much deeper than regretting the lack of money. Gaining love and affection or something that you want will not be easy, and, once it is achieved, you may not want the accompanying responsibilities. Socializing is difficult. You are not necessarily more antisocial but since current circumstances may prevent you from being able to enjoy yourself, you prefer to be alone. Under this influence what seems most attractive may turn out to be the least desirable. In return for cooperation or favors you seek, you must be willing to give something of equal value in return-- otherwise you may get nothing at all or a poor imitation of what you wanted. Overworry is more than possible, especially related to legal matters, romance, impending social engagements, or debates. The final result is apt to be success, but whether all goes smoothly because or in spite of the fact that you worried so much is debatable.
Transit SUN conjoined natal Moon
Feb 4 through Feb 7, Exact on Feb 6
Determination and ego catch up with emotional desires-- and you are not to be denied. Success on this day is likely to be viewed as an incredible achievement, while failure causes bitter disappointment. You take everything that happens in a very personal way. You are more aggressive and certain than usual in the expression of your creativity and imagination. Negative potentials include indulging in self-centeredness, stubborn pride, and encountering difficulties with supervisors or authority figures. Dealing with women, babies, handling domestic matters or participation in family activities are apt to be on your schedule. Today may mark the beginning of a new venture that you either initiate for yourself or one in which you play a prominent part.
Transit SUN square natal Mars
Feb 5 through Feb 8, Exact on Feb 7
Physical energy and stimulation arise either from within yourself or in the circumstances you encounter. The key to using it successfully however, is not to push too hard. Avoid anger and frustration in trying to carry out the demands of superiors. If others challenge what you are doing or get in your way, dont stop to prove anything or engage in time- and energy-wasting maneuvers. Simply keep moving along. The spirit of competition is easily inspired but nothing will be accomplished if aggressiveness is allowed to get out of hand. Under this influence too much stress and strain could adversely affect your heart or head.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Sun
Feb 6 through Feb 9, Exact on Feb 8
Your personal magnetism and/or physical attractiveness is the focus of your attention. If such an urge doesnt come from within yourself, then something or someone is likely to inspire you with a need for personal identification with beauty. This influence extends beyond the physical and social aspects of your own attractiveness. You want to surround yourself with it. Attending a concert, art or fashion show may be on the agenda. A partner and other allies are apt to be very supportive in helping you attain personal goals and improve your self-image. In turn, you may be even more willing than usual to extend your cooperation in joint efforts. The negative potential of this period includes the tendency for self-indulgence, and to overstate your own importance and attractiveness, perhaps to the detriment or denigration of those who share close relationships or partnership with you. In the matter of romance, you can easily dominate. Just dont overdo it and turn the whole situation into nothing more than a pursuit for ego gratification.
Transit MARS sextile natal Mercury
Feb 6 through Feb 10, Exact on Feb 8
Current circumstances imply opportunity to physically touch base with others-- to exchange ideas and information. Contacts and activities with neighbors and/or siblings are apt to be especially stimulating, physically as well as mentally. Advantageous circumstances may present you with a chance to initiate projects related to writing, direct-mail promotions, or publishing. You may run across a bargain that leads to the purchase or sale of a car or other vehicle. A chance to travel may also come your way. Valuable information or ideas may be waiting for you if you take an opportunity to catch up on correspondence and reading. Take advantage of any situation that allows you to use or develop mechanical, computer, or artistic skills. Meetings and discussion groups can provide a forum for you to inspire others to take affirmative action, or, perhaps your participation in such get-togethers will stimulate you to take such action.
Transit SATURN trine natal Venus
Jan 6 through Feb 8
Those who are older find you very appealing and attractive. Entertain them. Socialize with them. Everyone will benefit in the nicest possible way. Romance, partnership, female relationships, and joint ventures are highly favored during this period. A long-established alliance will benefit in various ways, not the least of which may be because it manages to still exist. If marriage, romance, business partnership, social contact, or friendship is initiated under the present influence, it is certain to have the best chance for longevity and fruitful consequences. Beauty treatments, and decorating, design, or art projects undertaken during this period are likely to have long-lasting and successful results. Social and diplomatic gestures are not apt to be insincere or flimsy. This may be thought of as an excellent period in which to mix business and pleasure.
Transit VENUS square natal Uranus
Feb 7 through Feb 9, Exact on Feb 9
Interactions of all kinds; romantic, social, business, friendships and even fleeting encounters with such people as salesclerks or bank tellers-- can have a way of putting you in touch with the values and social mores of your own generation rather than what is currently fashionable. It can work in many different ways and on many different levels. You may, for instance, be wearing a certain style of clothing and find yourself among those dressed in fashions that differ strikingly from your own. Your interactions with others may also differ strikingly enough to make social events somewhat awkward. Any of these potential circumstances can end up being pleasant experiences, even if they are initially uncomfortable. Others are apt to eventually come around to finding you attractive and interesting, and you are able to succeed at something because of your uniqueness not in spite of it. Coordinating group activities is apt to be frustrating but if you rise to the challenge, your efforts may produce viable results.
Transit SUN square natal Saturn
Feb 9 through Feb 12, Exact on Feb 11
This is a time when hard work, organization, and planning will stand you in good stead. If you have not previously conducted your affairs in this manner, you may now wish that you had. You may not initiate or be in control of the events and circumstances that occur under this influence, but you will nevertheless be called upon to measure up, to take a responsible position in some way. Life may be, or seem to be, more somber than usual. Your timing is off and you are more easily discouraged by problems you may usually regard as minor annoyances. The answer is to forge ahead. Forget instant gratification. Wait for the rewards or real enjoyment to come later.
Transit MARS sextile natal Moon
Feb 9 through Feb 13, Exact on Feb 12
You may get the opportunity to turn feelings into physical actions or to physically express your emotions. If you are involved in creative or artistic activities your efforts now may ultimately lead to successful exhibitions of your work, to greater emotional satisfaction from physically expressing your talent, or a chance to successfully represent the talents of others. If your interest and instincts are aroused-- follow their lead. Current circumstances may bring a chance to promote family relationships and activities or to accomplish domestic tasks. Your children or other family members may be given an opportunity to work or to compete in sports events or other competition. Do not pass up the chance to invite male companions, family members, and business associates to dine. Avoid future problems with appliances and machinery by taking time now to repair them or provide the routine maintenance they require.
Transit SUN conjoined natal Sun
Feb 12 through Feb 15, Exact on Feb 14
Congratulations! It is the beginning of another birthday year for you. Since the planetary patterns influencing your life and affairs will be different in any given year you do not always have the same feelings and attitudes every time your birthday rolls around. No matter what the circumstances happen to be however, you can take advantage of the positive potential of each birthday by making it a special time for renewing inner energy and vitality, and your faith in yourself as an individual. Reflect on what the past has taught, look forward to where you would like to be in the future, and above all, adopt the attitude and determination that you will meet and overcome every challenge that the future holds.
Transit SUN square natal Uranus
Feb 13 through Feb 16, Exact on Feb 15
You are unlikely to be able to control the circumstances you encounter during this period. Your normal schedule or the plans you have made may be disrupted by the weather, war, or other forces in your outer environment. Though you may not be able to control the disruptions themselves, they may stimulate you to adopt an unusual or different approach to things on a personal level. They may inspire a spirit of freedom or independence within you. Under this influence your association with friends and organizations is apt to be part of the scenario.
Transit MERCURY opposed natal Pluto
Feb 17 through Feb 20, Exact on Feb 19
There is likely to be a certain amount of intensity in the information or ideas you present as well as what you receive. It may be difficult to pinpoint the opposing forces that seem to generate intensity, but they are there nonetheless. It may be that you are so intent on exerting the force of your own thoughts you refuse to listen, or that others attempt to manipulate your ideas to their advantage. It just isnt the best time for easy exchanges or free thinking. Information may be withheld as a form of paranoia or protection, or the wrong information is deliberately given in an effort to mislead. This all seems a bit much for ordinary lives and pursuits, but you may experience the potential in small ways. If you are invited to dinner, for instance, and enjoy a particular dish, dont be tempted to ask your hostess for the recipe. Nor, in the reverse situation, may you be any more willing to part with such information.
VENUS transit House Nine
Enters on Feb 19
Higher education, religious activities, political interests, and cultural pursuits will tend to be surrounded with a more social atmosphere during this period. Other potential circumstances you may be dealing with these days include romance, marriage, or any type of cooperative venture that involves a foreign country or someone of another culture or race. Issues or activities connected with a second marriage or a court decision may also arise. It is a period you may write, publish, or purchase books; perhaps art, music, antique or very expensive books. Advertising or mail campaigns, especially those aimed at romance or relationships may occupy your time or attention. You may seek cooperation in joint efforts related to the health or employment of a parent. Socializing or establishing more cordial relationships with in-laws are other potential activities on your agenda.
Transit VENUS square natal Jupiter
Feb 19 through Feb 22, Exact on Feb 21
Capacity for enjoyment increases but keeping things manageable or in proper perspective can be difficult. Under this influence you may be tempted to overstate your sentiments or overdo generosity. Shameless social climbing is a potential to avoid. Social gatherings can bring those who admire your spirituality, knowledge, or sophistication. Let them. Dont ruin their image of you by immodestly agreeing with their flattering assessment. Pursuing the good life may be irresistible and restraint is needed somewhere along the line. During this period you may be of a mind to purchase shoes you do not need, lose money at the races, or settle for less than satisfactory theater tickets just so you can tell others that you saw the show. This is a good time to apply yourself to the sometimes tricky issue of reconciling the law with actual justice. It would be bad timing to take relationships for granted or to dismiss the values of others as unimportant.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Venus
Feb 20 through Feb 23, Exact on Feb 22
You are likely to seek advice and ideas on how to improve your social life, employ proper etiquette, enhance your appearance, or redecorate or harmonize your environment. Discussing common goals with a partner or other allies may be on the agenda. If you are usually not very good at engaging in small talk with others, this influence may improve the situation. Discussions and activities at this time can feature art or music instructions, romance, humor, and may tend to include a little more gossip than usual. Advice and information is at hand in regard to partnership, joint ventures, contract negotiations and legal matters. Under this influence your concerns may also involve wedding plans, divorce proceedings, social events, or how you can elicit the cooperation of others.
Transit MARS sextile natal Sun
Feb 20 through Feb 24, Exact on Feb 23
Use opportunities presented by current circumstances to take physical actions; advantageous actions that can eventually lead to furthering your career or to gaining recognition of your individuality and talent. Do not pass up a chance to demonstrate courage, integrity, and loyalty, or to vigorously defend your principles. The ultimate ego satisfaction you get or goals you attain during this period may come through men or a male individual, or from being in situations that may be described as competitive or aggressive. Success is also most likely to result from being a doer, which means you cannot sit around waiting for things to happen. You need to put yourself physically in different situations, participate in a variety of activities, and circulate among a wide variety of people in order to attract the kind of opportunity youre looking for.
Transit URANUS conjoined natal Sun
Jan 21 through Mar 15, Exact on Feb 25
This is a period of unique and sometimes unexpected change. You tend to be more unstable and impatient which makes it necessary to move with greater caution. That which is unusual or different becomes increasingly appealing. What once was a source of ego satisfaction may no longer provide such stimulation and you are apt to go off in a completely new direction to express your individuality. Since this is not a matter of going after something you desire from an emotional standpoint, it may not have a devastating effect on your relationships. It is more of an ego awakening, a need for more freedom in expressing your skills and talents or finding new ways to use them. The change you experience may not necessarily originate from inside yourself, it is more likely to be inspired by an event or an individual you encounter. The event or individual that triggered the change may only be temporary, but the influence is permanent.
Transit MERCURY trine natal Jupiter
Feb 24 through Feb 27, Exact on Feb 26
Information, ideas, and activities you encounter during this period have the potential to enhance your intellectual endeavors and boost your economic or social status in one way or another. You may be in just the right place at the right time with the right information. Ideas may tend toward the dramatic and grandiose, but they have their place in the scheme of things at this time. What should be avoided, however, is overconfidence and being too far out of touch with reality and practicality. Favorable outcomes are possible in such areas as religious or political activities, court decisions, publishing, advertising, long-distance travel, cultural pursuits, and dealings with those of another race or culture.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Mars
Feb 24 through Feb 27, Exact on Feb 26
Current circumstances may offer a chance to turn romantic, artistic or musical desires into physical realities. Just an opportunity mind you, not a sure thing. You must be willing to take advantage of situations and aggressively follow through until success becomes a reality. Others may offer proposals for various types of affirmative action, any of which may turn out to be very successful. No matter what happens under this influence there may be a dynamic role for you to play somewhere along the line. If you grab or create the chance to play such a role, and you play it well, the consequences are likely to be fortunate for everyone concerned. Watch for opportunities that could lead to success in cooperative efforts, diplomatic quests, and legal suits. A good period to also take advantage of any situation that might increase your interest and success in sports, physical fitness, and work projects.
Transit NEPTUNE trine natal Jupiter
Feb 26 through Apr 30
This long-term influence is generally favorable though other influences and circumstances will occur from time to time that can either support or negate its total impact. The potential targets include your economic prospects, intellectual horizons, political ambitions, spiritual awareness, and cultural pursuits. If you have any sort of personal flare for the dramatic, it will no doubt be accentuated. However, combining unreality and illusion with exaggeration and extravagance, which is what happens during this period, is not always an attractive or successful way to get things done. While it may be successful from one point of view and in some situations, it may later be the source of embarrassment or perhaps ultimately turn away those you may have initially impressed. Use the beneficial potential of this influence wisely by keeping modesty and prudence in mind while applying an inspirational and imaginative approach. This influence can breed overenthusiasm to the point of turning idealism into fanaticism. If you can manage to sidestep the overblown tendencies of this period, you will be able to enhance your personal status and growth, especially if you let yourself be inspired by the circumstances surrounding you. As optimism increases, your chance of success increases --feeling that you will be successful you may go out and make your own luck.
SUN transit House Nine
Enters on Feb 27
You experience a greater need to impart information and opinions to others, either directly or through writing and publishing. Intellectual status becomes a bigger priority during this period. You want others to embrace your religious or philosophical beliefs but may resist their efforts to impose their own ideas on you. Under this influence you may be more generous in contributing your time and talents to religious, educational or political institutions. You may have a greater desire to pursue higher education or advanced training, and be more willing to indulge in speculation or other risk-taking ventures. By choice or circumstances you become more outgoing and assertive when traveling abroad or dealing with those of a different race or culture. Responsibilities related to your father or other authority figures may be another feature of your present agenda. Increased competitiveness in sports can make you a more formidable opponent but a less able team player.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Mercury
Feb 27 through Mar 2, Exact on Mar 1
Under this influence you may find just the piece of information you are looking for. You may also come across ideas and methods that are quite similar or parallel to your own. There is apt to be a constant stream of communication coming at you from all directions. You should not have to go very far to seek information you need at this time because everything is likely to be found in your own neighborhood. Plans, designs, mechanical projects, as well as the purchase or repair of mechanical equipment, from cars to typewriters, can be the primary focus of your current plans and activities.
MERCURY transit House Eight
Enters on Mar 1
Psychological analysis, or assessment and development of your talent and skills may claim your time and attention during this period. Joint income may also be the subject of plans or discussions. You may be kept busier than usual handling inheritance, tax or insurance matters, preparing investment analysis, and allocating funds for the repayment or collection of debts. Under this influence you may also seek information and ideas with regard to research and investigation projects or surgical procedures you may be contemplating.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Saturn
Feb 28 through Mar 2, Exact on Mar 1
Current circumstances may offer opportunity to successfully mix business with pleasure. Since people are likely to be more impressed by your maturity and experience it is to your advantage to grab every opportunity to purposely emphasize these assets. Introducing some aspect of tradition, structure, and substance to the individuals, artistic endeavors, and social situations you encounter leads to one happy result or another. Interjecting the same elements to diplomatic gestures, counseling, public relations, partnership, and joint ventures may also lead to future success in these areas.
Transit SUN square natal Jupiter
Feb 28 through Mar 3, Exact on Mar 2
Under this influence you may be tempted to exaggerate your social status, professional position, intellectual accomplishments, or monetary assets. Restlessness or discontent may cause you to behave this way, or others whom you wish to impress may unwittingly serve as the catalysts that inspire your overstatements. Whatever the reason or circumstance, if your desire to identify with some exalted position cannot be resisted, at least make an effort to minimize the damage. Use the energy of your desire to work harder; efforts that ultimately may turn what was once a false boast into reality. Be prepared to demonstrate your knowledge or skills to those in charge. The chances of winning a contest or cashing in on speculative ventures at this time are slim. If you do emerge a winner, do not push your luck. Take the money or victory and quit while you are ahead.
Transit MERCURY square natal Mars
Mar 2 through Mar 4, Exact on Mar 3
Trying to physically get things done during this period is apt to be frustrating. Incorrect information or directions may cause you to be too early or too late to accomplish a certain goal. The car may break down or public transportation delays throw off your travel schedule. Purchase of a car or other equipment may develop snags. Others may say things or use methods that provoke you to anger. Under this influence it is to your ultimate advantage to avoid rash behavior, and to make sure you understand the information you receive. No matter what headaches turn up, literally and figuratively, you are still liable to make measurable progress. You are likely to be more competitive or aggressive, which, in itself, can help you accomplish more. Protect yourself against airborne colds and fever, and take extra precautions when handling electrical equipment and volatile materials.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Moon
Mar 1 through Mar 4, Exact on Mar 3
There is greater likelihood of spontaneously taking a trip or getting in touch with people or having others contact you. Expect increased interactions with neighbors and siblings. Under this influence neighbors or relatives may offer transportation, you may take a trip with them or have to travel or run errands on their behalf. Information you give or seek these days is apt to primarily concern home, family members, the education of children, and domestic items or activities. Business transactions involving the purchase or sale of a residence, domestic items, or family property may be on your agenda. Discussions or meetings involve dietary or health needs, childhood conditioning, and the past. This is also a period when you strongly identify with thoughts and ideas that describe or reflect your feelings.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Uranus
Mar 3 through Mar 5, Exact on Mar 5
Opportunities that lead to unusual or nontraditional social contacts, romantic encounters, organizational meetings, as well as proposals for partnership or other alliances may be part of your current circumstances. The one thing in common these situations share is that they offer you an opportunity to be a part of something outside of yourself while still retaining your own individuality. Under this influence you may be more egalitarian when it comes to accepting or judging others. Either those you meet engender this humanitarian attitude in you, or you are able to inspire it in them. You may experience being uniquely a part of your own generation in certain social situations.
Transit MERCURY square natal Saturn
Mar 5 through Mar 7, Exact on Mar 6
You may not know exactly what to do with the information, ideas, or methods you encounter during this period. A particular item may seem very interesting and even valuable but trying to use or apply it, you run into difficulties or restrictions of one kind or another. It may simply be a case of not being able to put the idea or method to practical use for the time being, perhaps even for a long period of time, but someday it will come in handy. Under this influence attempts at organization and planning may be hampered, either by too much perfectionism or lack of time. Even if you are usually very efficient and organized, the very document, book, or other item you need cannot be located. You may be required to redo or complete a task you thought was finished. Eventually everything will get straightened out and you will have some progress to show for your efforts.
Transit VENUS opposed natal Neptune
Mar 5 through Mar 8, Exact on Mar 7
Social diseases flourish during this period-- the physical ones that result from unhealthy sexual encounters as well as other kinds including vicious gossip, deliberate deception, and shameless exploitation. Illusion becomes disillusion. Diplomacy is an empty, self-serving gesture. Glamor is not based on real beauty. Religious fervor is not inspired by true spirituality. You can avoid the traps if you realize what they are, but the unfortunate potential of this influence is that you may not be aware of them. There is great danger involving water. Do not go sailing or swimming, especially if you have indulged in alcohol or drugs of any kind. It would also be in your best interests to avoid pool parties, cruises, or vacations by the ocean.
Transit MARS square natal Pluto
Mar 4 through Mar 8, Exact on Mar 7
Power struggles, jealousy, and revenge may be the guiding forces behind some pretty intense activities during this period. Past actions may cause obstacles that must be overcome before current actions can succeed. Anger, if it is aroused under this influence, can be formidably destructive. Transformed into positive energy, it can result in formidable accomplishments.
Transit SUN sextile natal Mars
Mar 6 through Mar 9, Exact on Mar 8
Circumstances provide opportunity for you to become more physically active, more aggressive in pursuing goals and accomplishing tasks. Male influence and energy in one form or another can be the source of encouragement as well as physical accomplishment. Grab the chance to engage in sports and other activities that contribute to your physical fitness, which in turn can ultimately lead to better health and more self-confidence. On the other hand, if you do not currently have a program of physical fitness or engage in sports or routine exercise, this is an opportune time to begin. You may find that the local health club or diet center is offering reduced rates. No matter what opportunities you encounter under this influence, you are apt to be more successful if you are physically assertive in your approach.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Sun
Mar 7 through Mar 9, Exact on Mar 8
Self-esteem and willpower prompt you to express yourself in positive terms. The travel and communications in which you engage at this time are closely linked with the dictates of your ego and personal goals. You strongly identify with ideas that reflect your own thoughts or that provide a more aggressive or perhaps a more dramatic forum in which you can express yourself. The increased self-focus of intellectual endeavors and self-expression you experience under this influence can inspire you to reach higher levels of imagination and originality. You can also take the ideas of others and add your input to create something entirely different and unique. However, the potential to be avoided here is consciously or subconsciously appropriating the ideas of others and presenting them as your own. If the matter of purchasing a car or travel tickets happens to arise during this period, you may have a greater urge to indulge in a more expensive automobile and first class tickets.
Transit MERCURY square natal Uranus
Mar 8 through Mar 10, Exact on Mar 9
Since your ideas about whats different or unique may be at odds with other peoples notions, a certain amount of discussion and clarification becomes necessary. During this period you may find yourself a little out of synch with those who are trying to communicate with you, either because you are not in your usual location or following your normal schedule, or because they arent. Under this influence you either understand or approach most things in a nonpersonal, societal way and thus misinterpret what others want you to understand on a personal level, or, others take what you say in a personal way when your only intention was to discuss the broader societal implications of some issue.
Transit VENUS trine natal Pluto
Mar 9 through Mar 12, Exact on Mar 11
Observing others during this short period, especially in social settings, you will get a clear idea of what is meant by body language. The subtleties of human interactions are readily apparent, and you can use them to your own advantage. Under this influence others will be attracted to you if you exhibit a certain attitude of self-containment, not aloofness or snobbishness mind you, but an aura of self-possession and control. One of the potentials of this period is that you may be able to turn the tables on the past. Though it does not guarantee that you will regain control of something that was lost or change a past failure into success, you may now gain something equally valuable to make up for it.
Transit MARS square natal Venus
Mar 8 through Mar 12, Exact on Mar 11
Social activities, partnership, cooperative efforts, romantic adventures, diplomatic maneuvers, and legal negotiations can be successful under this influence, but the potential is that these endeavors will not proceed altogether smoothly. Jealousy, envy, and insensitivity are factors that must be avoided or eliminated when they appear. Another way to minimize the negative potential of this period is to tone down aggressiveness and promote an impression of harmony and cooperation. If life were to imitate art under this influence, the message would be not to choose colors that blend, instead choose colors that go well because of the contrast they make with each other. There is much that can be stimulating and exciting in the course of your physical efforts and interactions with others during this period.
Transit SUN sextile natal Saturn
Mar 10 through Mar 13, Exact on Mar 12
Today brings two kinds of opportunity. If you have worked and planned for something, you may be given the chance to move things along. No matter what your particular circumstances, take advantage of any situation to put your hard work or expertise to good use. If you are in a business or profession, it can mean new clients or invitations to be a consultant or guest lecturer. Whether or not others seek out your services, it is a good time to advertise your availability. The second type of opportunity during this period involves the opposite situation. If you have not been a meticulous planner and organizer or worked hard in the past, this is the opportune time to begin. It represents a chance to gain wisdom, maturity or experience that will ultimately lead to being more productive and successful. Under this influence you can find more creative ways to accomplish mundane responsibilities.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Venus
Mar 12 through Mar 14, Exact on Mar 13
Taking advantage of current circumstances you may be able to persuade those around you to be more cooperative and agreeable, or as the case may be, perhaps the people and situations you encounter will be of a such a nature as to put you in this harmonious frame of mind. Whatever happens, everyone is likely to be on the same wave length. Negotiations are smoother, joint ventures make progress. Opportunities that come along may lead to finding or attracting others who may be of similar mind as yourself concerning artistic or musical projects. Under this influence beauty attracts beauty, and you are not likely to be casting pearls before swine if you grab a chance to exhibit your looks, talent, and charm. Nor will such attempts on the part of others be lost on you.
Transit URANUS square natal Uranus
Feb 6 through Apr 3, Exact on Mar 13
The influence of this period is disruptive. The outlook, methods, and lifestyle that are not traditional but totally unique to you and your generation will be upset by whatever is totally unique in the thinking and lifestyle of the current generation. How much all of this is going to matter to you on a personal level will depend on other factors.
VENUS transit House Ten
Enters on Mar 15
You are most likely to get the attention of others right now by emphasizing whatever is most attractive about yourself--physical beauty, artistic talent, or a charming personality that indicates you are a cooperative, interested as well as interesting individual. Dont wait for others to notice you (even though that may be the case) take every opportunity you can to be in their direct line of vision. If you have it, flaunt it, accurately describes what your attitude should be under this influence. It is also a period for promoting cordial relationships and socializing with older family members, superiors, and authority figures. Allies, spouse, or other partners may receive recognition or special promotion at this time.
Transit SUN sextile natal Uranus
Mar 15 through Mar 18, Exact on Mar 17
It is a good idea to get in touch with friends and to welcome any opportunity that comes along to make new ones. Respond positively to the invitations or advice of friends. This influence brings favorable situations through your involvement with children and their activities, a club or organization to which you belong, or the network of friends and acquaintances you have established. Joining an organization at this time may bring future opportunities. Attending meetings and social events can be very advantageous. Other positive potentials in your present circumstances include superiors or other authority figures who suggest ways for you to gain more personal freedom, lead you to creative solutions and ideas, and provide a more visible format for presenting your own ideas.
MERCURY transit House Nine
Enters on Mar 17
Subjects that occupy your time and attention these days are likely to include long distance travel, international business, or diplomatic endeavors, cultural events, court decisions, higher education, advanced training, study or use of foreign languages, religious or political interests, publishing, direct-mail promotions, or advertising. Under this influence circumstances you encounter may require increased correspondence or discussions regarding a second marriage, in-laws, or a relatives health or job.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Jupiter
Mar 15 through Mar 18, Exact on Mar 17
Fortunate social opportunities are at hand these days. If they do not automatically come your way, its a signal to go out and create opportunity for yourself. Participation in social events may turn out to be extremely beneficial for you, especially if such activities are connected with religious and political interests, cultural pursuits, higher education, long distance travel, or that involve those of another race or culture. Opportunities you encounter under this influence may lead to success in publishing, advertising, or broadcasting. Joining a theater group, gourmet cooking class, or travel club may also be on your agenda. Try your luck with the lottery, horse races, or other sporting events and you may emerge a winner.
Transit MERCURY square natal Jupiter
Mar 18 through Mar 19, Exact on Mar 19
Information and ideas have to be gathered, methods discussed, and choices made. On top of that, you may experience difficulty and frustration when you try to organize everything simply because of the volume of things that can come your way during this period. Under this influence details can easily slip away, so you have to make sure that you get all of the information you need, and that the information you get is accurate. The other possibility is that you become involved with so many details it becomes difficult for you to see the overall picture. You must also avoid the potential tendency to exaggerate or expand on a situation or the information at hand. All in all, progress is likely to occur one way or another.
Transit SUN opposed natal Neptune
Mar 18 through Mar 21, Exact on Mar 20
Under this influence theres no telling what sort of impression youre making on others, especially on superiors or authority figures. For no reason that is readily apparent to you they may find you vague or mysterious. This does not have to be a problem unless you find yourself in circumstances where it is important that others not form misconceptions where you are concerned. Not a favorable time to seek spiritual counsel, take new medication, or be around water.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Mercury
Mar 18 through Mar 21, Exact on Mar 20
If you have an urge to compose something romantic, the current circumstances may offer you inspiration or opportunity to do it. If not a writer of romantic prose or poetry, there is nevertheless, likely to be opportunity at hand to speak, sing, or otherwise communicate your amorous thoughts and ideas. If you always wanted to either teach or receive instructions in such subjects as art, music, interior design, or floral arrangement a chance encounter now may ultimately result in your participation in such activities. Other potentials of this period are situations that lead to business opportunities, especially the business of beauty-- hairdressing and related services, fashion design, and manufacture or sales of perfume or jewelry. Potential opportunities may further your interests or success in writing, illustrating, publishing, or sale of books and magazines; as well as in other areas including diplomacy, public relations, social planning, the law, partnership, and joint ventures.

The influence surrounding you during this period is not strong or dynamic enough to cause much change unless it is supplemented by the occurrence of other factors and circumstances that encourage its energy and particular focus. The energy of the influence is favorable, however, and is represented by an opportunity to gain power or control, to revitalize or renovate something that has been lost, or to make a new start. Knowing there is a certain amount of favorable energy available during this period, it is then up to you to be on the lookout for possibilities that may come along, and to take advantage of them when they do. You can also use the people and circumstances you encounter to create your own opportunities. All that has just been described relates during this period to your emotional life and to situations that may eventually lead to the attainment of desires or emotional satisfaction on some level. Opportunities now should eventually lead to more satisfactory family relationships, a chance to change your domestic environment, to improve a family business, and to sell or restore homes or domestic items. You may be given opportunity to get a better understanding of your childhood conditioning and relationships with your mother, other important female figures, and children, and to improve your diet and health.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Moon
Mar 20 through Mar 23, Exact on Mar 22
Romance and/or the pleasant atmosphere of polite manners and agreeable dispositions may be a vital part of your current circumstances, giving you a chance to improve the quality and enjoyment of life. This period may provide an excellent opportunity to express your feelings to a romantic partner, spouse, family members, female friends, and children. A cooperative attitude and conciliatory gestures on your part may also result in better relationships with disgruntled relatives. Under this influence a chance encounter may ultimately lead to enhancing the attractiveness and harmony of your domestic environment, enjoying amiable dinner parties and other social activities in your home-- and for you personally, perhaps to making an improvement in diet, health, or physical attractiveness.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Mars
Mar 21 through Mar 23, Exact on Mar 23
Circumstances you encounter during this period represent a chance for you to take physical action of some kind. If such opportunity does not appear automatically, go out and create it for yourself. This covers a variety of possibilities. Situations may lead, for instance, to the purchase or sale of a car and other types of machinery, as well as learning how to operate them. They can lead to the use or development of design, mechanical or athletic skills. Ideas and methods that come your way may enable you to more efficiently accomplish work or other physical tasks. Your ideas may become physical realities, theories are given physical application, or travel may be on your agenda in the future because of an advantage you gain now.
Transit MARS square natal Mercury
Mar 20 through Mar 24, Exact on Mar 23
Too much haste or aggressiveness causes tempers to flare. Expect to encounter argumentative males, aggressive drivers, and frustration when trying to put ideas into action or implement new work methods. Check your work place for faulty wiring and possible fire hazards. Wrong directions, bad weather, and other physical obstacles can slow you down when traveling or interfere with the flow of information and other communications. During this period caution is advised to prevent possible burns or cuts, especially to your fingers and hands. In spite of all these potential problems, there is abundant and stimulating energy available. Even if initially aroused by anger or frustration, this energy can, with just a little effort, be rechanneled into positive accomplishments.
MARS transit House Eleven
Enters on Mar 24
The most likely targets of your energetic efforts during this period include friends, organizations, and children, especially those who are not your biological offspring but for whom you may have responsibility. Under this influence, activities in general are apt to lead away from you as an individual and involve the role you play in the lives of others; as parent, lover, friend, spouse, or club member. Your schedule may become overloaded and nothing gets accomplished, making it necessary for you to place some restraints on the number of activities and people you decide to accommodate. The energizing effect of the present influence can make you more aggressive toward others, and to lose patience when things become too hectic or they dont proceed as planned. You may also be concerned with what is or is not making you happy. And such concern is apt to go beyond the stage of just thinking about it. You may actually go after what you want, or get rid of what you dont want.
Transit SUN trine natal Pluto
Mar 23 through Mar 26, Exact on Mar 25
People or circumstances you encounter under this influence can be used to increase self-control or gain additional power in some area of your life. Youll be able to get to the bottom of things, perhaps with the fortunate assistance of those in charge. A good time to develop and use your own resourcefulness and ability to separate what is important from what is not. Impressive determination, recuperative power, and concentration are available.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Saturn
Mar 24 through Mar 25, Exact on Mar 25
What you read or hear during this period can help you become more organized and better prepared to accomplish important, long range goals. Information and activities may also fit neatly into whatever organization or plans you have already laid out. Under this influence circumstances may present other opportunities that will lead to easing current restrictions, be useful to you later in life, or result in recognition of your authority and experience.
Transit MARS square natal Moon
Mar 24 through Mar 28, Exact on Mar 26
Things are not as apt to run smoothly during this period. Equipment falters or breaks down, causing frustration and delay. Encountering traffic jams is a strong possibility, especially if you are homeward bound and/or children or household errands are the reason for being out in the first place. Accidents or temper tantrums waste more time. Under this influence you may suffer from digestive complaints-- the likely consequences of anger, frustration, or eating too fast. Care should be taken not to arouse antagonism in male relationships. Check your home for possible fire hazards. Disagreement between family members, whether or not the arguments involve you, can be enough to send you somewhere else until things quiet down. When cooking or baking be sure to check the time and temperature you use, or your food may be overdone, or even burned. Even with all the potential for trouble and frustration, it is nevertheless possible to accomplish quite a bit. Things may get done because of rather than in spite of the obstacles that must be overcome.
Transit SUN sextile natal Venus
Mar 25 through Mar 28, Exact on Mar 27
Superiors are favorably disposed toward you. Take any opportunity you get to socialize or interact with authority figures and those with influence. You may get a chance to establish partnership or some type of alliance with an important individual, that is, someone who holds greater financial, social, or intellectual position than your own. If you dont think such a situation is likely to come your way, then go out and create one. Listen to those who advise you on social matters or counsel you with regard to personal relationships. Under this influence luck is with you, but being able to take advantage of it depends on being among people. Dont pass up any circumstance that allows you to demonstrate your personal charm or attractiveness. Opportunities to enjoy beauty and luxury, to pursue romance, pleasure, and entertainment may be on your current agenda.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Uranus
Mar 26 through Mar 28, Exact on Mar 27
The information, ideas, and communications that come your way during this period represent possible opportunities that will allow you to either demonstrate or acquire some unique or special talent or knowledge. Other opportunities you should watch for under this influence include the chance to acquire or use technical expertise and sociological skills, to travel in some unusual capacity or to an unusual place, or become involved in the finances or newsletters of an organization or club. One of the most interesting prospects is that your success under this favorable influence, is apt to result not so much because of how well you fit in with a group or society, but simply because you are not in synch with everyone else or have a nontraditional attitude or approach to things.
Transit MARS conjoined natal Mars
Mar 24 through Mar 28, Exact on Mar 27
The extremely active, potentially chaotic, circumstances during this period can literally as well as figuratively give you a headache. Under this very energetic, sometimes overly aggressive, influence everyone is likely to be busier than usual, and that includes you. It will be difficult to find passive participants in almost any situation. A new two-year cycle of energy begins for you. A period suggesting that by choice or circumstances, you will initiate new directions and new ventures.
Transit VENUS sextile natal Sun
Mar 27 through Mar 29, Exact on Mar 28
Social situations in which you find yourself during this period can be ego-massaging experiences. Even better, they may be opportunities that lead to wider recognition of your personal integrity, special talent, and efforts. This potential is not a sure bet mind you. It represents a chance you are either given outright, or one that provides circumstances in which you can successfully create your own opportunity. Under this influence you may get a chance to be in the drivers seat when it comes to gaining cooperation and support from a partner or other allies. A chance encounter or situation may lead to a position of leadership, enhancement of your social status, or other personal success.
SUN transit House Ten
Enters on Mar 29
Your public reputation, that is, what others think of you, may be of greater concern to you these days. You have a tendency to assess the role you play in the world at large and, to a certain extent, how that role is enhanced or modified by family responsibilities. Whether your primary work is raising a family, pursuing a career, or a combination of both, you need to know that you as an individual make a difference. Relationships with parents, supervisors, and other authority figures (including your attitude toward responsibilities imposed by state and government regulations) can suffer under this influence as you seek to promote your own goals and reputation. You want greater control of your destiny; to be assured that your life is going in the direction you were ultimately meant to take. The negative potential includes the possibility that you will be disappointed at not attaining the level of achievement or status for which you strive. However it would be a mistake to let failure discourage you from continuing to work toward attaining honor and recognition for your work, especially since that reality is a possible future result of your present efforts.
Transit MERCURY opposed natal Neptune
Mar 28 through Mar 29, Exact on Mar 29
Do not attempt anything that requires logic and clear thinking. Information and ideas may be illusive, intentionally deceptive, or even quite dangerous. Trying to make a wise decision or get at the truth is impossible. This is not a favorable period for travel on water, photography, business transactions (especially those that involve water-, drug-, or oil-related products or property), and spiritual studies or activities. Under this influence there is increased potential to engage in self-pity and despair, or to suffer personal loss or disappointment. Avoid incurring debt or lending money to others. This is definitely a time for careful deliberation and cautious behavior.
Transit MERCURY trine natal Pluto
Mar 30 through Apr 1, Exact on Mar 31
Investigation and research yield satisfying results during this period. Digging for buried treasure is liable to be rewarded. Lost items may be found and debts or favors repaid. An excellent time that inspires shrewd business decisions, psychological analysis, and property assessment. Under this influence you can learn self-discipline and how to successfully exert personal influence. If you keep in mind that the pen is mightier than the sword, you will be able to use this period to great advantage.
Transit SUN sextile natal Jupiter
Mar 30 through Apr 2, Exact on Apr 1
Be ready to expand your intellectual horizons because success during this period involves taking advantage of opportunities to learn as well as to demonstrate your own knowledge or expertise. Under this influence children in your life are also favored with regard to opportunities for their higher education or training. Advertising or direct-mail promotions are special avenues of opportunity. Spiritual guidance and participation in religious activities, cultural pursuits, and political activities are other possible sources of opportunity for you. Be alert to any situation that may enhance your influence or status. Superiors or authority figures may be instrumental in helping you get something published or assist you with long distance travel plans. Opportunities may also lead to ultimate success with regard to court decisions or the job and health of a parent.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Venus
Apr 1 through Apr 2, Exact on Apr 2
This is a period of increased potential for opportunities that may lead to social contacts, romantic encounters, partnership and other alliances, and improving your physical appearance. You may also be given the chance to use your diplomatic skills or personal charm to great advantage. Under this influence you should watch for ideas and information to come your way with regard to luxury items, art, jewelry, and redecorating or harmonizing your environment. Someone may send you flowers or candy-- on the other hand, you might view this period as representing an opportunity for you to send such gifts to impress someone special.
Transit MARS conjoined natal Saturn
Mar 30 through Apr 3, Exact on Apr 2
This is a tricky period in which you may be required to hurry, but obstacles in your path keep slowing you down. The most maddening prospect is that the obstacles you keep encountering are likely to be ones you bring on yourself. But that is the negative potential. The positive side of the picture is that your energy will focus on becoming more structured and organized. Under this influence, you may be more willing to carefully plan things, and to give greater credence to wisdom and experience before you act or allow others to act. It may be difficult for you to accept the authority or rules imposed on you-- but then, you may not encounter such problems since your tendency for more careful actions these days may keep you from running afoul of others. Dental work or minor surgery may be necessary. Wear clothing appropriate for the weather since there is also increased potential for you to suffer from cold, flu, dermatitis, arthritis and other chronic illness.
MERCURY transit House Ten
Enters on Apr 3
This is a time when you are likely to seek, or be given, a public forum of some kind in which to express your ideas or share your knowledge and skills. This can involve writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper, making a speech, or expanding the use of your skills and knowledge beyond your family group or those with whom you have daily contact. Circumstances you encounter under this influence are likely to increase your communications with superiors, clients, and a parent, as does the potential for having to comply with government regulations or those imposed by some similar authoritative agency.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Jupiter
Apr 3 through Apr 5, Exact on Apr 4
Letters, phone calls, and other communications during this period are apt to contain opportunities related to your association with those of another culture or race, higher education, long distance travel, religious or political activities, or cultural events. Circumstances may lead to hearing from or receiving news about relatives, in particular your father or your in-laws. Under this influence other opportunities can be found by placing or responding to advertisements or direct-mail promotions.
Transit VENUS square natal Pluto
Apr 3 through Apr 5, Exact on Apr 4
Interactions at this time are apt to trigger more serious responses than the circumstances might indicate. Something that is said or done in an innocent social or light-hearted context may stir up old memories, deep passions, and even deep anger and resentment. Whether you are the one that is aroused or you inspire such reactions in others is not always easy to predict. Being aware of the potential of such an occurrence and staying in control of your reactions at least, are the keys to dealing with whatever comes along. You should not, for instance, deliberately antagonize others or seek to arouse their jealousy, since such a plan would automatically backfire or result in something even worse. If faced with your own internal conflicts set off by innocent (and even not so innocent) gestures on the part of others, much will be gained if you can manage to rise to the challenge by turning such negative energy to some constructive purpose.
Transit SUN sextile natal Mercury
Apr 3 through Apr 6, Exact on Apr 5
Success is more likely to come along during this period if you stay busy, mentally as well as physically. You may have the opportunity to contact or visit with siblings or neighbors. Letters you write will be creative and amusing. This is a favorable time to participate in meetings, community activities, and every situation that gives you a chance to exchange ideas and information. If you need a car, this may be a good time to look for one. Under this influence you can make progress in design or mechanical projects, writing assignments, correspondence, business and contractual matters, repair or routine maintenance of equipment and appliances. This is also the time to grab the chance to get a haircut, have keys made, place or respond to advertisements, subscribe to periodicals, and reorganize.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Mercury
Apr 5 through Apr 6, Exact on Apr 6
This is the time to look for opportunities to improve your basic skills, gather information, purchase or learn to operate computers, or engage in sales of any kind. Looking for a car? Need a job? Explore the possibilities. Situations that can lead to employment, travel, and education are at hand. They may not appear automatically. Do not wait for them to come to you. Go out and seek opportunity and the rest of the pieces will fall into place.
Transit VENUS square natal Venus
Apr 5 through Apr 7, Exact on Apr 6
Things come off pretty well during this period, though the timing may not be exquisite or the setting one you might have preferred. Describing this influence is a bit like giving advice to a woman who wishes her lover would give her a round diamond but he happens to give her one that is square. Dont apologize for or regret the things that are missing; enjoy what is. If you turn up at the wrong party by mistake it may be more fun than the one you were supposed to attend. This line of thinking should be applied to almost any situation you encounter at this time.
Transit SUN sextile natal Moon
Apr 5 through Apr 8, Exact on Apr 7
Current circumstances promise opportunity, a chance for you to make your life more efficient. Others, for example, may show up to help, keep you company, or provide emotional support. Something or someone can come along to create an emotional high for you, which in turn can also make you feel physically more vital. Creative projects go well. Events and information you encounter can be used as opportunities to enhance your creativity and imagination. Opportunities also exist with regard to women, infants, home and domestic projects. Under this influence you may get the chance to express your feelings. In addition to the possibility of enjoying smoother personal relationships, interactions with most people are apt to be much easier. Take advantage of this atmosphere to establish better rapport or discuss problems. This is a good day to socialize, especially at home. Invite your boss or those with influence home for dinner.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Moon
Apr 6 through Apr 8, Exact on Apr 7
You are apt to be emotionally influenced in some way by the information, opinions, and ideas that come to you during this period. The situations you experience represent a chance to express your feelings or fulfill some personal desire. Other possibilities include opportunities to visit or communicate with out-of-town relatives, and to find ways at home to more effectively communicate with family members. Under this influence circumstances may present an opportunity for you to buy or sell your home or other real estate and domestic items. You may also get a chance to improve your diet, health, and physical fitness as a result of the people and situations you encounter.
Transit MARS square natal Sun
Apr 4 through Apr 8, Exact on Apr 7
You may be touchier than usual when others impinge on your territory, challenge your authority, and question your methods. Whether you stick to your way of doing things or decide to follow the suggestions of others, your desire for personal accomplishment is apt to be very strong during this period. You seek ego-gratification from the final result of your efforts, not from the methods you used to accomplish it. Tension may rise when dealing with male companions or co-workers. Under this influence, the success of your efforts is likely to be delayed as a consequence of actions that are unnecessarily aggressive or too hasty. Having found a way to restrain these tendencies, and applying determination and patience, you will accomplish far more than you anticipated. During this period take precautions in all your physical efforts in order to avoid injury to your head or face, or putting too much strain on your heart and spine.
Transit MARS conjoined natal Uranus
Apr 5 through Apr 9, Exact on Apr 8
The actions of others during this period may inspire you positively or negatively (theres no telling which) to do something quite out of character. Energetic vibrations in the general atmosphere may urge you to emphasize your own uniqueness or nontraditional approach to things. Of course, the reverse may also be true, and you will encounter some fairly unusual or nontraditional people and circumstances. There are other potentials. Under this influence, there may be more enthusiasm and energy in friendships and in your participation in groups and organizations. You may develop or be introduced to new techniques and methods. You may have increased enthusiasm for nontraditional or occult subjects as well as more traditional topics such as history, sociology, finance, and antiques.
Transit MERCURY sextile natal Sun
Apr 10 through Apr 11, Exact on Apr 11
In the flow of information and communications that comes your way during this period you will be given, or can take, an opportunity to express your own individuality and exert your personal influence. Dont hesitate to take advantage or make use of the ideas of others but be sure that you give them proper credit. Under this influence your creative input or the strength of character you verbally express in a situation can make a big difference in how well things turn out for you.
Transit MARS trine natal Neptune
Apr 9 through Apr 14, Exact on Apr 12
This is a period to use your intuitive abilities, increase your spiritual awareness, investigate dreams and the occult, and carry out as much of your work and other physical activities as possible behind the scenes. Exactly how or by what means some task or achievement is accomplished may not be apparent, nor does it have to be. The successful result such actions are likely to produce will be clear enough to make everybody happy. Some of the most successful work and other physical activities during this period involve in one aspect or another such areas as arts and entertainment (especially dance), photography, charitable institutions, drugs, alcohol, oil, gas, marine life, water sports, and ocean cruises.
Transit SATURN conjoined natal Jupiter
Mar 20 through Apr 22, Exact on Apr 12
During this period your usual sources of information may dry up, the path you were taking toward spiritual development may suddenly lose its appeal, or your economic growth and general prosperity may be restricted. Cultural pursuits are more serious. However, there is also the implication that your ideas and attitudes concerning these things will be of a more serious nature, which in itself may be a positive change. This is likely to be a period when you must give back some of what you have been given in life. If you have gained wealth it is time to be philanthropic. If you have gained knowledge and experience you must now share it with others. Tradition and authority rule against you if you have indulged in too much individual freedom or divergence from structure and form in the past. Under this influence you can become more realistically or solidly based in many areas. It will be to your ultimate benefit to accept a slower return on your efforts during this period.
Transit VENUS square natal Mercury
Apr 12 through Apr 14, Exact on Apr 13
Others may think your manner of expressing thoughts and ideas is too abrupt or even rude. There is as much potential that you may also find the reverse is true, and it is others who will lack adequate or polite forms of communication. If such interactions are allowed to proceed past initially disagreeable impressions, the continuing contacts are apt to become intellectually stimulating and provocative. Under this influence traveling with others, working with a partner or other allies on intellectual or artistic endeavors, or planning meetings and social activities may hit a few snags. However, the thing to keep in mind is that not only is it possible for any of these endeavors to succeed the challenge they present can turn out to be a lot more fun than you anticipated. Compromise in contract negotiations or establishing common goals in partnership and other joint ventures may be harder to achieve. Commercial activities related to the beauty business, art, music, jewelry, flowers, design, diplomacy, and the law are other activities that may turn out successfully, but only after a certain amount of delay or resolution of discrepancies. Others seek your advice.
VENUS transit House Eleven
Enters on Apr 14
This is a period when you are likely to be more concerned with personal aspirations and happiness, especially the satisfaction you derive (or do not derive, as the case may be) from the role you play as spouse, child, parent, friend, lover, or associate. These are also the same people who should be the target of your efforts to coordinate activities, promote harmony, and encourage cooperation. The social aspects of romance may also be on your agenda these days. Under this influence joining organizations and participation in group activities can be very rewarding.
Transit SUN sextile natal Sun
Apr 13 through Apr 16, Exact on Apr 15
Circumstances provide a measure of ego-gratification, the chance for you to feel good about yourself, stronger and more vital. Under this influence an attitude of helpfulness and generosity on your part will reflect well, inspire the same feeling in others toward you, and indirectly benefit your personal goals. You may be given a boost by superiors or others who hold power or influence in your life. Unless negative situations are around to suggest otherwise this is a good time to ask for favors from those in charge. Carpe diem, seize the day. Do not be afraid to go out and create your own opportunity.
Transit MERCURY square natal Pluto
Apr 14 through Apr 15, Exact on Apr 15
Under this influence you may take some things too seriously. Dont try to read between the lines when there is really nothing to find. Dont waste time looking for hidden motives in what others are doing when their actions may be perfectly innocent. You may tend to become too intense or place too much importance on what in reality may be a relatively innocuous idea or piece of information. The reverse may also be true when others take your ideas or actions far more seriously than you had intended. Valuable time can be lost or you can jeopardize a position of personal power or control you enjoy if you manipulate a situation or the information and ideas you get from others to your own advantage. This is also true if you allow others to behave in such a manner. In spite of frustrating obstacles that can turn up during this period, much progress can be gained if you maintain a patient, reasonable attitude.
Transit VENUS square natal Moon
Apr 14 through Apr 16, Exact on Apr 15
Do not expect instant gratification. Satisfaction or success may come, but not immediately or without some difficulty. There are apt to be problems or lack of cooperation connected with household tasks, family-related activities, and social events, especially when such events involve entertaining at home. It is not that your endeavors cannot be accomplished, it is more a matter of having to work harder to achieve the desired result. You may have a tendency to be jealous of others, especially of those who may be more attractive or possess more in the way of material wealth or status. You may also be the one to arouse such feelings in others. It is good to promote the idea that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery because you may be tempted to adopt the tastes or manners of others-- though, once again, it is also possible it may be the other way around. Under this influence too much or too little emotional input, most likely on your part, can slow many situations down. You may not have as much confidence in yourself, your physical attractiveness, or your talents. Romance does not proceed smoothly, although trying to overcome the interfering obstacles may actually provide a stimulating challenge.
Transit MERCURY square natal Venus
Apr 15 through Apr 17, Exact on Apr 16
Dont discount the potential value of what others tell you or what you read or hear simply because it is distasteful or because you do not care for the manner in which it is presented. Contract negotiations, and lines of communication between you and a partner or other allies tend to go awry. Under this influence decorating projects can be plagued by misunderstanding or misinformation. Make sure you understand what is involved concerning proposed beauty treatments or methods to enhance your physical appearance. When it comes to romance, vacation plans, entertainment, or social events you can expect to encounter frustration, but not necessarily failure. The thing to keep in mind is that obstacles that come along during this period are apt to soon disappear. Progress can be made in spite of them.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Mars
Apr 14 through Apr 16, Exact on Apr 16
Under this influence you are likely to be highly motivated to attain anything that catches your eye, or pursue anyone to whom you are attracted. Desire for physical pleasures, as well as for music, literature, and beauty in all forms is enhanced. Under this influence your physical activities may involve artistic projects of one kind or another. Joint efforts with a partner or allies make work more enjoyable these days, even if the tasks at hand are not all that pleasant. You are attracted to beautiful cars. Greater desire for luxurious transportation may prompt you to go first class if you travel during this period. Aggressive tendencies, if they exist, may be muted by the elegance, charm, and amiability you encounter in others.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Saturn
Apr 17 through Apr 20, Exact on Apr 19
It can be difficult to admire beauty for its own sake during this period. It isnt that you lack appreciation for the things or people that catch your eye. It is more likely to be a case of also realizing there are responsibilities and commitments that accompany these attractive visions. Under this influence you are most appreciative of beauty that is traditional, structured, and orderly, or perhaps its just your appreciation for the intrinsic harmony of tradition, structure and order that is enhanced. If not ordinarily inclined to lead a neat or organized existence, this may be one time when you appreciate the necessity of having some order in your life. Your participation in social events and fun activities is apt to be more enthusiastic if they happen to serve some purpose in addition to the prospect of enjoyment; a combination of business and pleasure. If there is no one new you care to meet and nothing you care to do, you may prefer to either remain alone or in the company of those who do have a purpose in your life.
Transit MARS sextile natal Pluto
Apr 16 through Apr 21, Exact on Apr 19
Intense energy in the present circumstances represents opportunity for you to gain a more powerful position of one sort or another. Your efforts may lead, for instance, to increased physical strength, more control over your actions, and greater resourcefulness. This period is a chance to put more concentration into your efforts, whatever they are. Taking advantage of the people and circumstances you encounter, may increase the potential for your ultimate success in activities that involve research and investigation, renovation, recycling, and the analysis and investment of financial assets.
Transit MERCURY square natal Mercury
Apr 19 through Apr 21, Exact on Apr 21
Try to simplify things for yourself during this period. Many ideas and much information may come your way but much of it is likely to be repetitious and will only waste your time. Lines of communication tend to get crossed or break down. Equipment may fail just when you need it the most, or the purchase or delivery of machinery may be unavoidably delayed. Read the fine print in all contracts, and count your change in all transactions. Travel plans may run into snags. Information, methods or ideas you present under this influence may duplicate or parallel that of others. In spite of obstacles that must be overcome, success is not impossible to attain. The idea is to keep moving.
MERCURY transit House Eleven
Enters on Apr 21
Circumstances you encounter during this period are likely to bring an increase in communications and activities with friends. There may also be increased interactions or travel with children, especially children that are not biologically yours but for whom you have responsibility. Under this influence your interest and greater participation may also include clubs and associations. Activities such as fund raising, membership drives, and newsletters may be on your agenda.
Transit MERCURY conjoined natal Mars
Apr 21 through Apr 23, Exact on Apr 22
What you hear or read is likely to motivate you to take some sort of physical action. This influence often signals a time when, by choice or circumstances, plans and methods are put into action and ideas turn into physical reality. One of the most likely situations to expect is being given instructions on how to accomplish some physical task or goal, operate machinery, or get to a certain location. You may also have a much greater urge or some pressing practical need to travel. Business transactions at this time are apt to include the sale or purchase of an automobile or other vehicles, computers, and communications or sports equipment. Activities and discussions can involve you one way or another in education, military service, hair cutting, dental work, or surgery.
Transit MERCURY square natal Moon
Apr 21 through Apr 22, Exact on Apr 22
You may have to grapple with conflicting opinions, too much or too little information, and other annoying distractions during this period. If your stomach gets tied up in knots, take a deep breath, relax, patiently sort things out, and calmly keep going. Before leaving home or office prepare yourself mentally for the possibility of traffic jams and other delays in transportation, public as well as private. Under this influence projects may not get finished on time. If this is the case, simply notify those who need to know and keep on working. Another strong potential is lost or misplaced keys, books, and important papers. Carefully retracing your steps is apt to result in successfully relocating the lost items. In spite of schedules that get turned upside down, plans that must be changed at the last minute, mechanical failures, or a hundred other things that go wrong, much can still be accomplished.
Transit VENUS square natal Sun
Apr 20 through Apr 22, Exact on Apr 22
You may find yourself in disagreement with others over principles or value judgments during this period. In the end it may be a matter of having to artfully explain your position while letting others have an equal right to their own opinions. The potential for discord may cause strained relations, but it is not likely to inspire major upsets. Under this influence a situation that initially seems to threaten your integrity or ego is apt to dissipate quickly in the atmosphere of highly stimulating interactions that occur. Interactions that, for the most part, are likely to result in a tacit willingness to agree to disagree. Avoid exaggerating your own importance in social settings. Let others approach you. If they flatter and compliment you or offer a position of leadership, keep your responses modest. If, on the other hand, they offer insult or object to your presence or status, your most effective strategy is not to respond in kind.
Transit VENUS conjoined natal Uranus
Apr 21 through Apr 23, Exact on Apr 22
Under this influence an unorthodox or less-than-traditional partnership or alliance may be on the agenda; proposed either by you or to you. Romantic or social contacts may be the inspiration to adopt highly unique methods to achieve common goals. The social scene you encounter at this time can inspire the spirit of egalitarianism in you, or you may be the one that engenders others with such an attitude. Unless negative circumstances happen to occur to spoil the potential, this may be a fortuitous period for establishing friendship and coordinating group activities. Those viewed by most of society as different or eccentric may be the very individuals you find appealing. In turn others may be attracted to you for the characteristics that make you different or unique. Art and music you encounter now are not likely to follow along traditional lines.

Unless negative circumstances also happen to occur and strongly indicate caution, this is an excellent time for a haircut, beauty treatment, dental work, or cosmetic surgery. Under this influence your actions and gestures are likely to be more graceful and elegant; literally as well as figuratively. The social scene is abuzz and everyone is animated and attractive. Romance, partnership, and other alliances flourish. This is a time to do things with others-- cooperative efforts may be able to accomplish what you have not been able to do by yourself. Activities that involve art, design, music, jewelry, flowers, the beauty business, debate, and legal matters are favored.

Circumstances during this period may demand a show of willpower, stamina, and a willingness on your part to investigate and get to the bottom of things. Thoroughness is a must if you want to succeed. Direct confrontations, deliberate actions, and keen observations are your best strategies. Do not reveal plans or betray a confidence. Under this influence areas of your life where you have gained the most control may be challenged or invaded by others. A self-defeating attitude now can cause you to become your own worst enemy. A debt of honor may be due.

Information and methods that come your way, whether you need them or not, are of a practical nature. Under this influence ideas and information as well as communications in general may be restricted or somehow limited either by your choice or the current circumstances. The alternative to this potential is that the information or communications themselves may not be limited but your receptiveness to acquiring or understanding them may somehow be lacking. The most common thing to expect is that contacts and travel during this period will tend to be related to business or for serious pursuits. Organization and preparation, or the lack of it, can become big issues.

You can be a master of disguise -- become whatever others want you to be--and get away with it. At least for the time being. There is no guarantee a charade of any kind will last beyond this influence. However, for theatrical, artistic, and even spiritual purposes you can be very inspiring. The entire scenario may be just as true in reverse. The people and situations you encounter during this period will take on certain characteristics you need them to have, whether or not they possess these traits under ordinary circumstances. In either case, you can take advantage of the positive possibilities while remaining aware of the illusionary effects. Under this influence romance, promotional activities, and joint ventures are intuitively in synch. Such endeavors can be highly successful, especially if those involved as well as their goals are able to withstand an inevitable confrontation with reality. A wonderful period to seek a more glamorous image, to photograph and be photographed, to dance or learn to dance, to participate in social events that benefit a charitable or religious organization, and to take a vacation by the sea.

Enthusiasm doesnt quite gel during this period, unaccompanied as it is by physical energy or strong emotional commitment. If this description doesnt altogether fit you, it can as easily apply to those you encounter. Refinement and beauty may be pushed aside by that which is coarse and gaudy. It is not a favorable time for socializing with superiors. You can become stimulated by the energy you encounter in conflicts, chaos, or exciting events. But if nothing much seems to be going on around you, do not attempt to be the initiator of more dynamic situations. Such attempts can put you in the unenviable position of wanting to set the world on fire, attracting a crowd, and then finding that youve misplaced the matches.

There is likely to be some problem or frustration in connection with information or ideas that come your way during this period. You will be offended if what you read or hear happens to be in the form of criticism. Even if it wasnt meant to be taken personally, you may tend to react to it that way. Those who give you instructions or directions must be careful not to impinge on your authority or damage your ego. On the other hand, if you refuse to let ego or stubbornness interfere with your willingness to accept the ideas, methods, or information you are given, and patiently overcome any other obstacles that turn up along the way, progress is possible.

Communications, ideas, information, and methods that you deal with during this period are not apt to have much of a personal application or content, having more to do with your outer environment than with your personal problems or goals. Though they can of course filter down to a more personal application later, the primary issues you may be concerned with under this influence are likely to involve larger societal issues and activities. Your personal communications, information, or even travel at this time may be considered unique, nontraditional, or out of synch with everything or everyone else. Technical information, computers, software, international finances, and the newsletters or business affairs of organizations to which you belong may be on your agenda.
Transit SATURN trine natal Mercury
Apr 28 through Apr 30
This is a period when activities concerned with communication, education, writing, mechanical skills, design, commerce, computers, and travel are favored. It can mean success in some new venture into these areas, or that you will be able to put your past efforts and experience to some very profitable use. Networks you have established may turn out to be highly valuable in providing information or assistance you need. Most contacts at this time tend to be favorable with a minimum of false promise in what is said and done. Under this influence your ideas and thinking may be more organized or practical, or both. Plans and methods tend to be well thought out which in itself is the key to their success. The use of traditional ideas and methods is probably the most successful approach, though if you champion something more unorthodox that you feel has real merit, it too may also be allowed to successfully creep into the scheme of things.

The influence surrounding you during this period is not strong or dynamic enough to cause much change unless it is supplemented by the occurrence of other factors and circumstances that encourage its energy and particular focus. The energy of the influence is favorable however, and is represented by an opportunity to gain power or control, to revitalize or renovate something that has been lost, or to make a new start. Knowing there is a certain amount of favorable energy available, it is then up to you to be on the lookout for possibilities that may come along, and to take advantage of them when they do. You can also use the people and circumstances you encounter to create your own opportunities. All that has just been described relates during this period to education, communications, writing, computers, travel, transportation, sales and other business transactions, community affairs, and contacts with siblings-- and to situations that will eventually lead to your participation or success in these areas. You may also get a chance that will lead to the use or development of your ideas, methods, or basic mechanical or design skills.

This is a tricky time. Even though luck is on your side, there are no guarantees that you will make proper use of the information, ideas, or activities you experience. Reality will probably not be allowed to intrude as inspiration and instincts rule the day. Your imagination and intuition are enhanced and can prove to be highly useful by putting you in the right place at the right time. Under this influence certain activities are favored such as photography, illusion, charitable causes, design of footwear, swim wear, and boats, spiritual guidance, promotion, advertising, travel on or over water, the sale or purchase of waterfront property, marine equipment, swim gear, seafood, oil, liquor, and drugs.
Transit VENUS trine natal Venus
Apr 29 through Apr 30
It would be hard to find disagreeable circumstances at the present time. You are as attracted to others as they are to you. Situations you create are as pleasant as the situations you are likely to encounter. The only trouble, if you think there needs to be trouble, is that everything may be just a bit too nice. If you need a more competitive or aggressive atmosphere to stir you into action, this is not the time to expect to find it. Should you happen to find or stir up such agitated situations, they are not likely to result in anything productive or enjoyable. Under this influence activities related to fashion, design, and the arts are successful.

Interactions during this period, even on a casual basis, are apt to stimulate deeper responses than usual. They may lead to closer examination of your reactions and motivations in dealing with other people, though you may or may not choose to share the results of this self-analysis with anyone. Current circumstances may engender inclination and opportunity to measure how much, or how little as the case may be, personal influence and control you exert in a partnership and other alliances and with other people in general. This is an excellent time to test your ability to plan, control, and execute every detail of social events, negotiations, debates, diplomatic overtures, and legal matters.

You are likely to have an expansive, perhaps unnecessarily exaggerated, part to play in some of the situations you encounter during this period. You may be tempted to give people more credit than they deserve. The actions of others can inspire and expand the development of your own potential or that of your present circumstances. Unless there are negative factors to discourage the otherwise beneficial potential of this influence, it is a period when you can improve your intellectual, monetary, and social status. You may have greater enthusiasm for increasing your spiritual and cultural awareness, and for engaging in sports or physical fitness. Your appetite for obtaining the finer things in life is as enhanced as your capacity for enjoying them.
