Pluto transiting trine natal Mars

Pluto transiting trine natal Mars

This is a transit of great regeneration, which lets us transform and renew our life in depth, with effective and evident results, without great effort. Our efforts might even be titanic, but our psychophysical energy will be so high it supports us and to make us almost tireless. If we come out of a period of crisis or illness, this is a fantastic transit to recover and to be reborn, because Pluto can rebuild on ruins and Mars offers the necessary tools: strength, will and determination. Particularly when Pluto trines our Mars we can work successfully on our career, help us with examinations, competitions, important tests or challenges. We will also be able to take benefit from a dedication to sport, which makes us both physically and mentally stronger, more powerful and more confident in our abilities. The sextile aspects operate deeply regarding our goals, which we can modify and adapt to new and greater ambitions, with the certainty of being able to achieve them even without help. Even if commitment to ourselves is priority number one, in this period we get the best from ourselves when we work with others, because our identity grows stronger compared to others; we will know how to stand out, how to define our character and how to be recognised for our value and as a point of reference. This is a transit that makes us natural and charismatic leaders: if our influence over others will be used for the common good, it could also generate remarkable personal advantages.

It is the typical transit that brings love to the ones who have not found it yet ... regardless of the fact that they are looking for it or not! And often it is a sudden and unforeseen love: for example, we can begin an exciting relationship with someone who used to be only a friend until the day before, or vice versa with a person met by chance, short time ago. In this period, love becomes a simple and gratifying way to escape from boredom and the daily routine; in contrast to the stressful transits, it is not to be said if the relationships started now should last or not, on the contrary! Especially when Uranus trines our Venus, what changes is substantially our way of relating to the others and of living a sentimental relationship, because even if we are already in a couple we will feel the need of brightening up the relationship, of saving it from monotony, and will be able to insert elements of new passion, maybe presenting ourselves to our partner in more tangled and maliciously unconventional garments. The sextile aspect can concentrate more on the social life: we attend new environments, make new friendships, open to new interests, hobbies or to relaxation, ... In general we live following our spontaneous excitement, we are interested in all that is different or that we have never done before, we feel stimulated by the sense of freedom and at the same time we become more respectful for the others' freedom. It is the perfect transit to start a diet or to completely renew the look and the wardrobe, showing to the world as younger and provocatively attractive!

Uranus transiting trine natal Mercury

Uranus transiting trine natal Mercury

The perfect transit, especially from an intellectual and professional point of view. Our life is brightened up by new things, meetings, knowledge and unusual and stimulating experiences; our habits might be altered in a good way, and instead of feeling destabilised we accept this all with curiosity and versatility. When Uranus trines our Mercury, we manage to grasp precious opportunities, because our mind is more open, sharp-witted, intuitive and swift, so that we manage to remove the rigidity of rational schemes and to create alternatives, to think outside the box, to identify original and innovative projects. It is a good transit for journeys of discovery. Also, the Uranus sextile Mercury transit is very stimulating and may open new roads to our future. In this period the only thing that really annoys us is boredom, routine, habits; we are only interested in all that is new, both mentally and socially. As a result we can act disrespectfully or provocatively ... we don't act consistently, but we like to try, to know, to discover, to invent: therefore we look for new friendships, new working contacts, and our curiosity can lead us to have an interest in new activities or disciplines, to travel and to suggest our ideas with enthusiasm. We are happy to change our plans if someone or something can offer us a more exciting alternative.

Saturn transiting opposition natal Moon

Saturn transiting opposition natal Moon

This is a transit that not always is shown through clear facts, but that at a psychological level can be very significant and hard. It is as if Saturn were asking us to take a journey inside ourselves, removing coverings to reach the root of things, to what is really worthwhile: therefore it will aim at taking away our illusions, and emotional attachment to things, images and obsolete self-images. When Saturn transits opposite the Moon often expresses itself in his function as "gardener", when it cuts the "dry branches" of life even if we think that they are still green: sometimes mature women may reach menopause, mothers have to accept their children growing up or leaving the nest, moving away and becoming free; other times sentimental relationships may come to an end, or more generally a phase of existence ends, characterised by those relationships or by the idea we had about them. In the square aspect something analogous can happen, even if sometimes nothing at all happens. We realise that time has gone by, life is no longer what we once believed in and, perhaps, it has never been what we wanted it to be. Disenchantment, melancholy or regret can accompany a period of solitude, a lack of appetite, both real or metaphorical, and even become depression if we let these feelings nurture in our soul; vice versa, if we are able to use and not be dominated by this transit, we will be able to re-join our inner reality with the external and objective one, based on ourselves having become rightly (albeit forcedly) more honest and mature.

When transiting Saturn makes hard aspects to natal Venus, relational contexts are affected by its critical evaluation, like being put through an exam: some relationships that exist through habit rather than anything else go into crisis, we feel suffocated by out-dated roles or realise that people are not who we thought they were. Whether it concerns family, friendship, love or work, the most difficult thing is to recognise the sense of emptiness that we feel, including "what" or "who" we don't like anymore (and especially why), without letting this disenchantment depress us. In particular, when Saturn squares our Venus it can be difficult to give useful meaning to the frustration that we feel. Rules, obligations, bosses or parents stifle our creative spark, our creaking bodies make us feel our age, little or nothing seems important or exciting; this results in a loss of motivation and perspective. The purpose of Saturn is to reorganise our lives through responsible choices, conscious decisions and, if necessary, sacrifices aimed at achieving greater autonomy. The opposition aspect can have a greater effect on direct relationships, especially couples. There can be a loss of interest or passion, or we struggle to be together when and how we want to be. In some cases we fell trapped in a relationship that demands more than it gives, or our partner starts whining or becomes difficult, asking us to respond to questions that we are not ready to face. What we are expected to do is to decide what values are important to us, including what we really want from our life, concentrating on what we find reassuring about our future and separating it from what belongs to the past.

During the stressful transits Saturn is certainly demanding, and it often acts as Mercury's master, firm and strict, testing the aptitudes, competences and preparation of a little boy! Of course, the little boy would prefer to keep having fun; this aspect can therefore be quite hard, according to the signs involved and the individual's character, and in some cases we will experience its weight in a more frustrating way, rebellious and depressing ... Be careful of the people we meet during this transit, because they might be particularly wise or authoritative, but prove to be suffocating or dominant as well. When Saturn squares Mercury it could be that we are confronted with problems with work, needing to tighten our belt or to struggle on through hard times. In general Saturn will ask us to stop playing, dreaming, putting off or delegating our responsibilities, and especially - if appropriate- to stop bluffing ... If we are young we will probably feel scared by these requests, demands or needs that adulthood brings with it; if we are already adults we might instead suddenly feel old, burdened by duties and perhaps by a few regrets. In both cases, it would be an error to search for eternal youth or for endless postponements: the moment has arrived to act our age.

The vital energy of the Sun often suffers during the stressful transits of Saturn with a sense of limitation, of frustration or melancholy. We feel burned out, older or tired, or burdened with too many responsibilities, unable to find immediate and new motivation for what we do. Depending on the house occupied by the individual Sun, the sectors involved can differ: from work to sentimental matters, up to strictly physical, health-related worries for ourselves or our relatives. At times a father figure can be called into question, for example young people can go through a phase, where they expect him to be something unrealistic before discovering a real relationship, aware of his pros and cons. Even without concrete events, something forces us to face the reality, and this could be psychologically more painful depending on how much we relate to short-lived values. In the opposition aspect, it is usually our way of relating to people that is tested: we become more bad-tempered and excited, and we can lose our idyllic vision of people, learning to understand who deserves our affection and our esteem, as well as, on the other side, to accept that we can't always ask for affection or respect from everybody. When Saturn squares our Sun we lock horns more often under the effect of passing time, and we move to separate ourselves from the idea of being young and free, especially if we have already reached maturity. Saturn can be quite strict with the Sun, but the aim of its transits is always and only that of making our sense of responsibility, autonomy and consciousness grow.

Saturn transiting sextile natal Mars

Saturn transiting sextile natal Mars

The most precious present Saturn can give to our Mars is to teach us to discipline for our will, adding tenacity to initiative, patience to good purposes (that are often short-lived), perseverance and rationality to hurried and ineffective improvisation. Saturn always brings some useful lessons, which it teaches kindly and with patience; as in its soft transits, it is an enjoyable learning experience, leading to a sense of profound fulfilment. For example, when transiting Saturn makes a trine aspect to Mars we notice that we are more scrupulous, more self-controlled; that we look for lasting results and that we are willing, at any point, to put a stop to intemperance caused by impatience or impulsiveness. We like to watch the fruits of our labour ripen and we don't feel the urge to pick them prematurely! It is the perfect transit for "endurance" sports or for those who have to undergo prolonged efforts; it can be of great help also in periods of recovery, after accidents or diseases, to restore the psychophysical balance. The sextile aspects teach us to believe in the power of time, raising the capacity to wait, not in a passive way, but consciously and voluntarily. In a certain sense we aim for a goal that gives greater guarantees, taking one step at a time, provided that the objective is clear and the speed towards it is constant ...

This is not a transit we should worry about, if it does not coincide with other difficult major transits. It could simply start a period of greater laziness and being passive, in which we aim to "indulge" in the pleasures of life: food, sex, sleep and relaxation. In particular with transiting Jupiter square our Venus we can confuse the taste for beauty with showiness, the result at times being even too cheap: women will wear more make-up, and perhaps too much, they will wear colourful clothes and jewels; men too will be bolder, talk more, and will always manage to cross the line. Obviously we will not feel much like working or sacrificing for too taxing responsibilities; in return, we will have a desire to share company, to receive love and to offer it, to laugh and to enjoy life ... even if we will do so with a little bit of superficiality, in an over-confident way, spending too much on pointless things or getting fat because we eat too much or junk food, and don't do any exercise. The opposition aspect can be useful for relationships, provided that we do not allow ourselves be overwhelmed by our most extreme impulses; on the one hand there is the need for intimacy, the desire to possess, on the other there is the wish for a satisfactory and autonomous personal and social life. The intentions can be in fact sincere and positive, but we do not always manage to behave consistently. Therefore, conflicts of opinions or of values can arise, but an honest confrontation can turn out to be useful for the growing maturity of a couple.

In contrast to other aspects between Jupiter and Mercury, in the soft ones the risk of thinking big is reduced. In other words, the risk of overestimating our own abilities is lower, as is over-confidence and arrogance. This is because the balance between the two planets lets us consider the details and the practical aspects of our opinions and our projects, while maintaining a wide and all-embracing view of the big picture. The moving trines often are evident in both daily and private life: our way of communicating is confident, warm and open; we manage to convey our most optimistic thoughts and always find a nice word, a joke to raise morale, or a piece of generous advice. We believe more in ourselves, and this is a positive thing, because it makes us more keen and convincing when speaking. It is still important that we do not "sit" waiting for solutions, results and approval, but that we take action ourselves, also at work. The moving sextiles are as important for good moods as they are communication, but they have a special planning value; it is the right moment to set up projects, to join study classes or to specialise, to read new subjects, to open the mind to philosophy and to wider knowledge. It is a positive time for work contacts, travelling, and friendships.

Jupiter transiting sextile natal Venus

When transiting Jupiter makes positive aspects to our natal Venus (planets both linked, even if in a different way, to the "principle of pleasure"), our ability to enjoy life, to amuse ourselves and feel positive sentiments, increases dramatically! We are in a good mood and we manage to convey it to others, thanks to our polite, frank and generous manners. With Jupiter trine Venus especially, we can show a character change in favour of a greater openness and confidence towards life: we are available to others and able to help those around us, to participate in social evenings telling jokes confidently and raising the morale of others, mixing philosophic discussions with back-slapping ... but also with an honest feeling of team spirit. In this period everything is a little too simplistic, the level of which depends on our own "self-indulgent" laziness; we prefer having an immediate reward instead of building for a lasting result. For the same reason, any love affairs that form in this period are often simple flirts, even if hot and enjoyable, which leave a good taste, of a beautiful and joyful experience. The sextile aspects present similar characteristics, even if less evident; in certain cases, considering their relatively short duration (a couple of weeks or a little more) they pass by unnoticed. In any case, the period will be suitable for fun excursions, for your social life, for friendships, for amusement. Whatever you do, pay some attention to your diet or unnecessary purchases...

MARS TRANSITING TRINE MOON

MARS TRANSITING TRINE MOON

Mars' wild influence effects our emotions and, although frantic, should not spiral out of control. We feel more deeply involved in relationships than usual, especially those with the opposite sex. It could be that, perhaps with the assistance of other favourable planets, we find love at first sight. In general we tend to be energetic in our daily lives and show greater enthusiasm than usual. Mars' combative aspect makes us determined with our ideas, defending them whilst remaining sufficiently open towards the demands of others.

VENUS TRANSITING SQUARE MARS

VENUS TRANSITING SQUARE MARS

The aspect that forms today between transiting Venus and natal Mars represents a kind of challenge for our ability to handle ourselves with the opposite sex. The urgency to conquer the object of our desire, especially physically, emphasises the power of seduction on the one hand but on the other hand it deprives the mind of its ability to make a reasoned decision. The brevity of the transit does not guarantee any duration for possible relationships that are born today; the joy of today might already disappear tomorrow … Tension is not dangerous in relationships that have solid foundations and are managed by good sense.

MARS TRANSITING SEXTILE MOON

MARS TRANSITING SEXTILE MOON

With its disruptive energy, Mars puts great emphasis on our own wishes, instincts and sentiments. Today we carry a new enthusiasm in the usual places, both professional and personal: even if passion guides our actions, we have sufficient spirit to act effectively and firmly. At times, this transit asks for a greater involvement at home or with female friends and relatives. Our relationships are characterized by strong emotions, which we do not feel like hiding from the rest of the world. Our creative or original streak is easily expressed in daily activities and perhaps it makes use of a little bit of our imagination.

SUN TRANSITING OPPOSITION MOON

SUN TRANSITING OPPOSITION MOON

Today, our inner world is made up of emotions, wishes and expectations, and is not aligned with what happens on the outside. The problem might depend not so much on the others but on some kind of conflict within us between sentiments and reason, public life and private life. We do not need to be amazed if the interpersonal and also intimate relationships as less rewarding than usual or if we enter into arguments with whoever contradicts us. Since, as for all short transits, this has duration of a few hours and often it is indicated as a "bad hair day". A few moments to think it over let us discover the reasons behind a possible tension that was growing inside us independently from this transit, but that today has come to the surface.

MARS TRANSITING SEXTILE MARS

MARS TRANSITING SEXTILE MARS

Under the influence of this transit we have plenty of vigour and self confidence, used not only to achieve personal objectives but also to participate in group initiatives or collaborations of a different type. Now is the moment when plans already put in place will start to bear fruit, be it business or bureaucracy. This transit of Mars invites us to get involved in sporting activity, the key being to allow it to propel us to win without provoking over-aggression or rivalry. In general our behaviour is sufficiently energetic to handle daily events and to solve also any little obstacles that might arise.

MARS TRANSITING CONJUNCT MERCURY

MARS TRANSITING CONJUNCT MERCURY

Mercury represents our mental processes which are made more active by contact with Mars, letting us think quicker. We might get impatient mainly because others do not seem to keep up with us in conversations or in exchanges of ideas, although we have to try and hide any disappointment, and avoid criticism or sharp comments. Intellectual activities benefit, including studies, we will be particularly convincing in giving our opinion, in whatever field we may be working. Travelling will be quicker than usual and including travelling by car or with public transport. If we feel electrified because our mind is super-active, we must avoid taking our physical energy for granted; we would risk putting too much at stake!

MERCURY TRANSITING OPPOSITION VENUS

MERCURY TRANSITING OPPOSITION VENUS

The effects of this transit are not very noticeable except for some little behavioural contradictions that crop up during the day; we are not very adept at expressing what we really want, whether it is due to shyness or just for a quiet life. With regard to our relationships, both friendly and love, a touch of rationality will prevent us from becoming over-involved, but won't remove our usual affection. Since we are not keen on making challenging speeches, we try to live quietly and, if possible, allow ourselves some more time to relax.

VENUS TRANSITING SEXTILE MARS

VENUS TRANSITING SEXTILE MARS

Today we turn out to be particularly effective in our activities since we have a lot of positive energy. The perfect balance between our personal needs and those of the others facilitates relationships, especially those with the opposite sex. Venus urges us on to do nice things for our relatives, friends and generally the persons we love. We are also particularly hospitable and quite ready to organise family events or small parties in our homes. The sextile aspect between Venus and Mars also protects the work environment, making the most of relationships with colleagues, employees or superiors. This is also the right day to express our creative side in a productive way.

MERCURY TRANSITING TRINE MARS

MERCURY TRANSITING TRINE MARS

This is the right day to come up with solid and ingenious projects. In our daily activities we appear confident and sure of what we do, also in situations that lead us to be in the public eye. Our mind is witty and ready to seize possible opportunities that arise in every situation of life. This lucidity of the mind probably helps us today to resolve those thorny questions that had been put to one side, to overcome possible little unforeseen obstacles or to conclude negotiations that have been ongoing for some time. Also, studying reaps the rewards of this transit, in examinations or tests.

MOON TRANSITING SEXTILE MARS

MOON TRANSITING SEXTILE MARS

We achieve perfect results thanks to this mix of intuition and action that in these days favours our daily activities. We feel independent and sure of ourselves but at the same time ready to work for the common good. Without rivalry or competition we do our best to make our abilities worthwhile but we will not let anyone put themselves ahead of us. Emotional factors are more intense than usual, even if they remain under the control of our good sense. The positive support of other slower planets suggests that this moment can see the birth of new relationships, both at work and of a more sentimental variety.

SUN TRANSITING CONJUNCT SUN

SUN TRANSITING CONJUNCT SUN

This aspect coincides with the New Year and represents for each individual the beginning of a new existential cycle. We leave one year behind and it comes naturally in these days to think about the past and to make projects for the future. The Sun, which symbolically represents the fulcrum of our vital energy, receives a remarkable impulse today that somehow must be focussed towards personal recognition. It might be concerned with little projects, but is, however, aimed at rewarding our ego. During the day we will not miss the opportunity to take little initiatives aimed to give a new hint to our personality. Even if our energies are not at the maximum levels, because of adverse Mars, we will feel like we are the centre of the universe.

VENUS TRANSITING TRINE VENUS

VENUS TRANSITING TRINE VENUS

Thanks to this transit of Venus we find the way paved for several eventualities, especially those that regard relationships. Much depends on the way in which we present ourselves in the external world, which today is particularly tender and understanding. It is very probable that also possible tensions loosen between us and loved ones. We are attracted by beautiful things but perhaps more by the pleasure of admiring rather than possessing, like visiting a museum, an art gallery. Instead of compulsive shopping, today we will limit ourselves to window shopping. If we are creative by nature, this is the right day to demonstrate our talents. A little romanticism might revive an old love or provoke interest in a particular person.

MERCURY TRANSITING SQUARE MOON

MERCURY TRANSITING SQUARE MOON

The thoughts and the emotions are mutually influenced making us confused and anxious. That kind of restlessness that we might perceive today might be caused by the tendency to magnify any question of daily administration. The dialogue with the external world feels the effect of our inner disharmony and the communication is difficult, perhaps making us projecting on the others some of our problems unconsciously. The stimulating side of this transit consists in bringing to conscience some prejudices that lodge in our mind and disturb the affective relations, especially with the dearest persons.

MOON TRANSITING SQUARE MERCURY

MOON TRANSITING SQUARE MERCURY

The Moon, with its more or less conscious emotional elements, interferes with our mental processes which causes mental chaos. The transit lasts about two days during which there can be real moments of confusion in which it would be wise to avoid decisions of any importance. Communication with the outside world feels the effect of this emotional burden and often misunderstandings or ambiguities arise, especially with those close to us. If we have the unpleasant sensation of not being understood, a little self-examination will help us recognize objectively our lack of clarity and coherence.

SUN TRANSITING SQUARE VENUS

SUN TRANSITING SQUARE VENUS

Forming a stressful aspect to our natal Venus, the Sun speeds up the sentimental side of our nature. It is about facts that are not especially prominent, but that nevertheless make our heart flutter, like a polite ‘congratulations’ or an unexpected gift. Inconveniences are not expected as generally happen in square aspects, except for some a little over-eating or over-spending due to moments of euphoria. Generally, it is about a favourable day in which we want to test our power of attraction, in some cases also with a certain boldness.

SUN TRANSITING TRINE SUN

SUN TRANSITING TRINE SUN

The day runs easy under the positive influences of this transit. A sensation of harmony that facilitates relationships with others accompanies us and makes our work easier. Our energies run easily in harmony towards the targets that our mind suggests. There is the possibility of receiving a recognition, perhaps not a particularly important one, but such as to reward us on a personal level. Possible little mishaps easily find a swift solution today.
