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.

Transit URANUS trine natal Mars
Jan 1 through Jan 5
Physical efforts and activities may take some unexpected, unusual, or unorthodox turns. Because of the peculiar nature of the influence during this period, you may tend to be more physically stimulated by unusual or unfamiliar situations. The results of your endeavors are equally unpredictable, and though the results of the actions you take may not be what you had originally anticipated, they are nevertheless likely to be favorable. You are not apt to be the one who can initiate or control the circumstances that turn out in your favor. They are more likely to occur as a result of the decisions and actions of others. The key is to remain busy and active. Be prepared for anything to happen, and when it does, act on it. Male relationships are favored but again, given the nature of this period, they may tend to be with somewhat unusual men, or the attachments themselves may be a bit unorthodox. Physical efforts and activities with or that involve men are subject to the same unstable or unpredictable pattern but with generally fortunate results. This is an excellent influence for work with electronics, computers, television or radio, and the latest technology.

Jan 1 through Jan 14
This is a favorable period but must be thought of as more of a broad-based influence that benefits those in your generation rather than you as an individual. The potential of this influence is to encourage favorable trends in charitable institutions and their activities, civil rights and minority issues, as well as a return of romantic and idealistic trends in thinking and art. There is a reaching out for greater spiritual awareness in one form or another. If these particular areas are of unusual importance in your life's work or in the lives of those who greatly influence you, then you may reap benefits in a more personal way during this period than might otherwise be expected.

Transit PLUTO sextile natal Mars
Jan 1 through Jan 20
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 your job or work, all physical activities and efforts, male relationships in general, and operating or handling of any type of machinery and equipment-- and to situations that will eventually lead to your participation or success in these areas.

Transit MARS opposed natal Pluto
Jan 1 through Jan 3, Exact on Jan 2
Opposing forces you encounter during this period have a paralyzing effect. A contest of wills is to be avoided at all costs. Efforts to gain control of any kind are apt to produce the opposite effect. This is not a time to change or interfere with the status quo of things. Deliberately engaging the hostility of another is to arouse a formidable opponent you might not otherwise have had to confront. Manipulations are a waste of time which doesn't leave much except the direct approach, a method with the same potential result. If you realize that the current circumstances are likely to present no means at all to gain the upper hand or maneuver situations to your advantage, you are correct. Act accordingly.

Transit PLUTO sextile natal Neptune
Jan 1 through Feb 12, Exact on Jan 3
The energy of this influence is favorable, and it is represented by an opportunity to gain power or control, to revitalize or renovate something that has been lost, to make a new start. Its target is your generation as a whole and the spiritual values, charitable institutions, and ideals associated with your generation. Unless you happen to be one of the individuals in your age group who holds a high level position of public influence, this period is not likely to have a strong or dynamic impact on your personal life.

Transit JUPITER trine natal Jupiter
Jan 1 through Jan 10, Exact on Jan 5
The strength and significance of this influence is more than likely to be negligible. Perhaps the best that might be said is that you'll enjoy a certain amount of ease or success simply because the people and situations you encounter are compatible, or at least not of such a negative nature as to prevent you from doing so.

Transit URANUS opposed natal Mercury
Jan 1 through Jan 27, Exact on Jan 9
Be prepared for radical changes in thinking, methods, and communication during the period of this unstable, highly disruptive influence. Though something of value may ultimately come from the chaotic circumstances you are apt to experience, there is also danger that what is useful or good will be discarded in favor of the new or different. This is unlikely to be an easy time. You may be plagued by nerves, restlessness, accidents, and any number of turbulent confrontations and discussions. Electrical equipment is potentially dangerous, your neighborhood is disturbed, and contacts with siblings may be broken off or you become physically separated from them. Travel and even running errands can unexpectedly result in accidents or confusion in one form or another. What can be done? You cannot control the circumstances and people at large that instigate the changes and disruptions you will experience, but you can and should take every precaution to counterbalance the influence by tempering your own reactions with as much calmness and good sense as possible.

Transit MARS square natal Moon
Jan 11 through Jan 14, Exact on Jan 13
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 MARS trine natal Uranus
Jan 12 through Jan 15, Exact on Jan 14
Actions you take during this period can have some unusual or unexpected results. It is difficult to predict what will happen but the potential is for the outcome to be very beneficial. Under this influence you may be inspired to do something unique or quite out of character-- though again, such actions are apt to have fortunate consequences. Unless other circumstances discourage the otherwise fortunate potential, it is a good time to introduce changes in work schedule, implement new methods and procedures, and to deal with technical equipment, computers, and inventions. Travel by air, activities with friends, and organizing group efforts are other favored activities.

Transit MARS trine natal Jupiter
Jan 15 through Jan 18, Exact on Jan 16
Unless negative circumstances also occur at this time and discourage the otherwise potential benefits of this period, your general status will greatly improve. Success is apt to be the result of just about anything you attempt. Efforts rarely come to nothing under this influence. Even a failed effort is likely to result in some better prospect. This is definitely the time to promote and demonstrate the position and knowledge you have achieved. You are highly favored in activities that involve long-distance travel, writing, publishing, theater, dance, art, religion, politics, law, investment and finances, and sports. Gambles and other risk-taking ventures are likely to pay off. Men in your life, especially a male parent, are also favored at this time-- and your own good fortune may also come through them. This is a period in which to grab and savor everything that brings enjoyment, humor, truth, and the good life. Do not however, let overconfidence in your own ability, the pursuit of pleasure, or laziness spoil the potential success of enterprises.

Transit JUPITER opposed natal Sun
Jan 13 through Jan 22, Exact on Jan 18
The current circumstances are not designed to increase your prosperity. The male parent or other prominent male figure or his status and influence are not favored. Circumstances come along during this period that deplete your material assets. Your generosity is likely to benefit the wrong people or be wasted in worthless endeavors. Those who would like to help you are apt to be rendered powerless themselves or unwittingly steer you in the wrong direction. Those who come to you with grandiose ideas or the promise of some successful enterprise are not likely to be able to deliver, no matter how well-intentioned they are. Of course, this is not to say you have no choice in the matter. A conservative attitude may keep you from overreaching yourself in one way or another. Though unlikely to occur, victories and other successes that are won under this influence, are not apt to be gained without the compromise of your principles or self-esteem. It is important to realize that you will probably not be able to remove the forces that oppose you, which only leaves you the option of finding a constructive way to work around them or with them.

Transit MARS opposed natal Sun
Jan 19 through Jan 21, Exact on Jan 20
There is a distinct possibility that you will encounter ego-bruising opposition to your actions at this time. While failure doesn't have to be the final result, this influence does threaten complete success. In the unlikely event that such success does occur, it is likely to be accompanied by loss of integrity. The opinions, and especially the actions of others, are not likely to support your leadership, and indeed, they may directly challenge it. Under this influence vitality and enthusiasm are either lacking or quickly burn out, leaving you with nothing to fuel further efforts. Male relationships may be strained at this time-- possibly by anger or too much competitiveness. Even if you are someone who has no trouble rising to challenges, this period is better suited to keeping a low profile and making plans for a more fortuitous time. Avoid being in the sun too long and activities that put a strain on your heart or spine or that can result in injuries to your head or face.

Keep in mind that the following description involves a very lengthy period. Some of the potential effects of this influence may be immediately apparent then recede into the background for a time only to emerge again. The presence, meanwhile, of other influences, some of which may also be very long-term, will also add their particular impact to the existing circumstances and contribute to the way things ultimately turn out. The general focus of the period described here involves enormous changes in several areas. You may, for instance, unexpectedly begin a new romance, or just as suddenly break off with a romantic partner. You may encounter unusual or nontraditional romantic situations or partners. Attitudes and activities related to children, speculative ventures, and the pursuit of pleasure may be suddenly reversed or significantly altered. Your social life and social contacts can follow the same unpredictable path; there may be sudden periods of increased activity and interest, as well as periods when there is a total lack of anything going on or complete disinterest in socializing on your part. Your artistic and creative talents are other likely targets of this influence; the use and development of such skills being vulnerable to the same unstable pattern. You may experience a preference for the unorthodox or avant garde in art, music, or design. A key element of the influence during this period has to do with outside forces over which you have no control. The inspiration of changes that occur may, at least in part, be triggered by the actions of those around you, new people you meet, or situations you encounter.

Transit PLUTO trine natal Mercury
Jan 1 through May 31, Exact on Jan 30, Apr 21
The energy of this long-term influence is favorable and the benefits and good fortune that come your way during this period are likely to have implications for your success in the future. This means the efforts you make during this period that are specifically involved with education, writing, computers, communications, travel, transportation, sales and other business transactions, community affairs, contacts with siblings, and the development or use of your ideas, methods, and basic mechanical skills will no doubt be successful. However, just as important as any immediate victories you may have, is the fact that these efforts will have a significant role to play in giving you the power or influence to maintain, or regain if necessary, success in these same areas at some point in the future. During this period, your siblings, neighbors, and those with whom you work or deal with on a daily basis are favored-- and they may also be the means of your own good fortune.

MARS transit House Six
Enters on Feb 5
The energetic influence that accompanies this period is apt to mean there will be plenty of things for you to do in the way of physical exercise and work-- on the job as well as around the house. Circumstances may put you in a position to hire others. The flow of physical energy these days can make you more aggressive or competitive concerning work, co-workers, or employees. If there are problems, you either enthusiastically confront them and seek a solution or give in to angry outbursts or rash actions. Another likely focus for you these days involves health and/or physical fitness. You may be required to get a medical and dental check up if you have not recently had one. There is potential to experience headache, fever, inflammation, or flare up of chronic illness. The positive potential, however, can mean you are inspired to begin a program of physical fitness. Be sure to consult a physician and other health experts before you start. Under this influence enthusiasm can easily get out of hand. If your body is not used to regular or vigorous exercise be careful not to overexert yourself.

Transit MARS sextile natal Moon
Feb 18 through Feb 21, Exact on Feb 20
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 MARS square natal Uranus
Feb 20 through Feb 22, Exact on Feb 21
Present circumstances may put you into such a tense or aggravated state as to cause you to do something you would not ordinarily do. Because this influence implies rash as well as unpredictable actions, caution is advised during this period. Keep in mind that not only are your actions unpredictable but also their consequences, that is, whatever you hope to gain by them is not likely to be what results. The performance of machinery and equipment, as well as that of the people who may work for or with you, is also unpredictable at this time. Expect to encounter some snags when you attempt to make changes in work schedules or introduce new methods.

Transit MARS trine natal Saturn
Mar 6 through Mar 8, Exact on Mar 7
You are apt to have more patience during this period. If you require more time to accomplish a certain task, it will be granted. Maturity and experience behind your actions is one of the keys to the successful results they bring. If you fail to apply such wisdom in a given situation, you may nevertheless benefit from the actions of those who do. This is one of the most favorable of influences-- not only for the potential success of your efforts but because they are likely to be meaningful, long-lasting accomplishments. It is an auspicious time to initiate projects that are geared toward bringing benefits at a later time in your life.

MARS transit House Seven
Enters on Mar 11
Energy and enthusiasm these days center around partnership and other alliances, cooperative efforts, and interaction with others in general. The inspiration you gain while in the company of others stimulates you to physical action. You can ignore this type of energy focus of course, or other factors may prevent you from taking advantage of it. However, there is every likelihood that getting things done will be more difficult to accomplish by yourself than it might be with a partner or partners. Even if you want to be left alone, other people will find a way to physically intrude, or current circumstances make it necessary for others to intrude. Under this influence, you are apt to find that in most situations other people make the first move, leaving you to react. More than one open confrontation is apt to occur, but the potential itself does not necessarily indicate that such encounters will be hostile.

Transit MARS opposed natal Mars
Mar 11 through Mar 14, Exact on Mar 12
The biggest potential of this period is that you may have to constantly cope with people whose actions and purposes are diametrically opposed to your own. Under this influence your attempts to physically accomplish something may be appropriately compared to hitting your head against the proverbial stone wall. Making little or no headway, you'll end up wondering why you ever wasted your energy in the first place. Nor will you succeed any better with a show of strength or aggressiveness, since these efforts are apt to be met with an equally determined exhibition of force. It may be difficult to sustain any controlled or stable physical efforts at this time, but things may be easier for you if do not waste what energy you have with anything but the most routine, quietly carried out tasks.

JUPITER transit House Six
Enters on Mar 12
The nature and scope of your work and daily responsibilities expand during this period. Your work may require more travel or advanced training becomes necessary. You may hire others to work for you at this time, and your relationships with co-workers is expanded or increased in one way or another. There is a possibility (which you may want to avoid) that you will be tempted to inflate the importance of your job, or become overly impressed with your performance of required tasks-- an impression that may not necessarily be shared by others. Though there is certainly an excellent chance that your work will be recognized and handsomely rewarded, it would be a mistake to take your job or any aspect of it for granted. The potential of this period also includes acquiring a pet or increasing your activities involving a pet or the breeding of such animals. Though there is no guarantee you will actually pursue it, your interest concerning health and physical fitness may increase. There is an idea that your physical health will be protected under this influence, but this is not to be relied upon since it is more likely that you will take your health too much for granted. One potential that may be more applicable in this respect is that if circumstances require you to seek medical care or advice, you may be fortunate to find excellent physicians or other professionals to help you.

Transit MARS opposed natal Neptune
Mar 12 through Mar 14, Exact on Mar 13
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 MARS trine natal Mercury
Mar 13 through Mar 15, Exact on Mar 14
A surge of physical energy and enthusiasm may prompt you to turn thoughts or ideas into actions--the results of which can be very successful. Sales, installation and repair of machinery or equipment are highly favored. Sales of any kind are likely to be more energetic and successful. This also applies to travel, activities and meetings, and the physical dissemination of information. Work that is done or business that is owned or operated by you and/or your siblings is likely to flourish at this time, especially if the job or business is in your neighborhood. Under this influence good fortune or good news comes through the mail or by telephone. This is an auspicious period for writing, designing, buying a car or other motorized vehicles, or developing your mechanical or computer skills.

Transit URANUS trine natal Venus
Feb 22 through Apr 8, Exact on Mar 14
Interactions with others during this period may include very exciting, unusual people, any one of whom may potentially turn out to be a new business or marriage partner or ally in joint ventures and other cooperative efforts. Finding a romantic partner and forming congenial female relationships are also strong possibilities. Relationships you establish at this time may be with those who are quite different from you, or the relationships and alliances themselves are of such a nature they may be considered unorthodox or nontraditional. Social events of which you are a part or which you attend will also tend to have some element of the unexpected or unusual about them. Artistic and creative projects, and commercial or diplomatic endeavors are apt to be quite successful, but they too, will consist of unexpected or unusual elements. Unless negative influences occur at this time to discourage it, this is a very stimulating and favorable, if somewhat unpredictable, influence. Staying home alone or in isolated spots however reduces the favorable odds. Though you cannot control the circumstances of your good fortune, you can attract your own luck by putting yourself in social or public situations among many different kinds of people. If possible travel to new and exotic places and be willing to try new experiences.

Transit MARS opposed natal Venus
Mar 17 through Mar 20, Exact on Mar 19
Romance is not a likely or enjoyable prospect, nor for that matter are social activities or communications with co-workers, a partner, or other allies. This is not an auspicious time for marriage and other alliances or joint ventures-- and certainly not a period in which to initiate new ones. During this period everyone is apt to head in opposite directions with no thought of cooperation or willingness to compromise. Under this influence elegance and refined actions are overwhelmed or replaced by bad taste and aggressiveness. Avoid undergoing surgical procedures or beauty treatments to enhance your physical appearance. Do not begin or expect to make progress in redecorating projects or any activities that involve diplomacy, art, or music. If you are traveling, do not expect to encounter amiable company along the way. Your work and other physical efforts are best accomplished alone. Even if you could make more progress with the assistance of others, it may be a case of current circumstances that force you to engage in solitary actions. Energy is wasted on debate, negotiation, legal matters, and counseling. If the potentially negative influence of this period fails to appear or disrupt your routine, count yourself fortunate.

Transit MARS trine natal Pluto
Mar 18 through Mar 21, Exact on Mar 20
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 SATURN sextile natal Uranus
Mar 18 through Apr 3, Exact on Mar 26
Potential opportunities in your present circumstances may lead to friendships or business associations with older, more established people or authority figures. Other situations you encounter represent opportunities that may lead to success in financial activities such as fund-raising or inspire you to establish or become a member of a group or organization. Watch for an opportunity to introduce new ideas or unorthodox methods into a traditional system.

Transit URANUS opposed natal Pluto
Mar 8 through Aug 1, Exact on Mar 31, Jul 5
This influence may bring circumstances and movements in society that disrupt and even totally eliminate the control or established sources of power that you have known in the past. When this influence occurred in the early 1900's the automobile and the airplane were introduced; eventually changing the methods and shifting the control of transportation from public to private individuals. At the time it occurred this, as in all generational influences, was felt on a personal level more by some individuals than others. Since you are at an advanced age when this period occurs, you have gained enough experience to effectively cope with the shifts in the power or control held by various political and social institutions that may or may not have some eventual impact on your personal life.

Transit MARS sextile natal Uranus
Mar 30 through Apr 2, Exact on Apr 1
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 MARS opposed natal Jupiter
Apr 2 through Apr 5, Exact on Apr 4
It is easy to imagine the probable result of blowing up a balloon beyond its capacity. This image is also the easiest description of the circumstances you are likely to encounter during this period. There is a tendency to assume you are capable of far greater abilities than a more honest estimation would suggest-- or, knowing full well your real limitations, it may be a case of your simply giving in to some external pressure or temptation and allowing others to make such inflated assumptions of your capabilities-- either way, you are left trying to accomplish the impossible. Under this influence actions are likely to go too fast and too far. It is in your best interests to remember that there is more than a little potential for unpleasant results if you experience too much of a good thing. This is not an auspicious time for court decisions, traveling abroad, higher education, writing, publishing, and participating in competitive sports. Physical efforts are either totally paralyzed by laziness and unwise actions, or they proceed with such extreme force as to invite dangerous consequences. Spirituality can turn into fanaticism, and intellectuality can become arrogant displays of superiority. Save grandstanding and bravado for another time.

Transit MARS trine natal Sun
Apr 6 through Apr 9, Exact on Apr 7
This can be an ego-boosting period in which you feel more confident that your efforts will be successful. In turn, this is the kind of attitude that attracts the people and success you are looking for. Self-promotion works very well, as does using the efforts of others to your own advantage. Other potentials imply that your physical efforts--whatever they may be-- may bring you recognition or a position of leadership, and that you may be more generous in helping others. Though this influence increases vitality, it can also promote a certain amount of laziness. If you are by nature a less-than-energetic individual, this period is not likely to galvanize you into action. It may be your good fortune however, to get others to do the work for you. Some of the most highly favored activities include those that involve men or products and services related to men, military maneuvers, sports, surgical procedures, manufacturing, and firearms. Just plain good luck can save you from accidents and other mishaps. The only word of warning is not to take things too much for granted, or become too sure of yourself.

Transit SATURN opposed natal Jupiter
Apr 4 through Apr 20, Exact on Apr 12
Bad timing, past failures, authority figures, or simply a lack of generosity somewhere along the line frustrate your personal growth, economic prosperity, spiritual fulfillment, and intellectual endeavors during this period. It may be a time when you are expected to give back some of the prosperity or success you have gained to help others get ahead. The problem is apt to be that even if you are willing, you may simply lack the means to do so -- at least for the time being. If most situations seem to flow smoothly in spite of this potentially negative influence, it would nevertheless be foolish to take your favorable status quo for granted, or further defy the odds by going out of your way to invite situations that could threaten you in the particular areas described above.

Transit MARS square natal Saturn
Apr 14 through Apr 17, Exact on Apr 15
The difficulties and delays you encounter during this period are likely to be caused by lack of preparation, planning, and organization--either on your part or that of others. The maddening thing is that even if you are the most careful individual, you are apt to be caught just when things are in disarray, or, just when you need something, it cannot be located in time. Bad timing is, in fact, one of the biggest obstacles to progress. Under this influence others may physically resist or even threaten your seniority or position of authority-- nor are you likely to take it graciously when they do. The best part of the present circumstances is the potential that you will eventually succeed, even if it is because maturity and experience dictates that you keep on going until everything goes as it should.

MARS transit House Eight
Enters on Apr 17
Energy can be intense during this period, especially regarding certain activities. The most likely areas of your concentrated efforts include sex, money, and financial as well as psychological analysis. Under this influence, a partner's income or jointly-held property may require more attention than usual. By choice or circumstance you may be forced to collect debts and favors owed to you, or make arrangements for repayment of your own debts. Issues concerning insurance, taxes, inheritance, or money that you manage for others may also demand more of your time and attention these days. Situations you may encounter with regard to sex include several possibilities; the physical act itself, counseling, or surgical procedures you undergo. Other circumstances that occur at this time will determine where and what you actually do, but close attention to detail and enhanced awareness of subtleties mark all your physical efforts.

Transit MARS square natal Mercury
Apr 21 through Apr 24, Exact on Apr 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.

Transit NEPTUNE opposed natal Saturn
Mar 2 through Jul 10, Exact on Apr 23, May 15
This is a long-term, difficult, and frustrating influence. Other factors will contribute to how things ultimately turn out; factors such as your age, maturity, past experiences, current circumstances, as well as other influences that occur from time to time. In spite of other factors, however, confusion, disorientation, debt, and unrealistic expectations will have an impact on your authority, experience, hard work, and organization, and that which you have neglected now comes back to haunt you. How well you are able or willing to cope with disappointment, loss, and failure is severely tested. Hidden fears and worries increase, and to make matters worse, confronting them openly and honestly is not so easily accomplished. The value of traditions, structures, and necessary restrictions and limitations becomes ambiguous or terribly misguided. Restrictions and limitations may disappear but they are replaced with meaningless time and space. Things for which you have worked long and hard may be lost or become meaningless. This is a highly unfavorable period for risky business ventures or to acquire any kind of monetary debt. The thing to understand (and remember) is that this is a phase of your personal growth, and if you have the determination you can handle whatever circumstances come along and emerge from it stronger then ever.

Transit MARS square natal Pluto
Apr 27 through Apr 30, Exact on Apr 29
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 SATURN trine natal Sun
Apr 26 through May 12, Exact on May 4
This is a period of positive energy. The fortunate potentials of this influence must be viewed from two vantage points, the past and the present. Hard work, planning, and organization that have marked your efforts in the past may now bring the rewards you deserve. Others are likely to bestow praise and admiration for the loyalty, honesty, generosity, and integrity you have demonstrated. You can correct mistakes that led to past failures and use whatever else you may have learned from these experiences to begin another enterprise that, under this influence, has an excellent chance to succeed. This period has to do with the success of your ego drives and the satisfaction of indelibly stamping your individuality on situations as well as in relationships. While emotional demands may have a part to play in what you go after, when all is said and done, it is more a case of wanting to take pride in and gain recognition for your accomplishments. If you have long sought a position of leadership, this is a time when you are apt to attain it. Perhaps the only real drawback of this period is that unless some improbable piece of luck such as winning the lottery occurs, you may be unaware of being surrounded by such a favorable atmosphere.

Transit JUPITER sextile natal Moon
Apr 29 through May 10, Exact on May 5
Chance and circumstances these days may afford you the opportunity to express your emotions, to get what you want, to follow your heart. Your emotional life is given a chance to grow and expand in one form or another. This does not imply a time when you may actually succeed, only that you will find the opportunity that will lead to success. What are your desires, your requirements for emotional satisfaction? Money? Love? Power? Knowledge? The success of this period may come in the form of an opportunity to realize what you do not want, in itself a highly liberating situation.

Meetings of any kind can be difficult for you to organize or coordinate under this influence. Though a spirit of generosity and togetherness seems to be encouraged by current circumstances, too many people going off in too many different directions makes accomplishing group efforts more difficult to organize in spite of everyone's good intentions. Progress can be made toward attaining common goals or resolving disputes, but most likely only by letting others do their own thing independently and then bringing all the separate efforts together.

May 9 through May 12, Exact on May 10
Your pulse quickens and feelings lie much closer to the surface these days. Anger or frustration may incite you to throw temper tantrums, or the surge of emotional energy may inspire you to demonstrate your love and affection, depending on current circumstances. What can be expected, however, is that any exhibition of your feelings--positive or negative--is sure to be physically energetic. As the pace of life picks up, family relationships and domestic activities are apt to be the main focus of physical efforts. By choice or circumstance you may decide to give a dinner party, clean the house, make home repairs, build an addition on to your home or a barbecue pit in the back yard, or move to another residence altogether. If you are impulsive by nature, it is likely to be accentuated during this period by increased tendencies to turn feelings into physical action. Inattention, restlessness, and a greater need for haste may have unpleasant consequences for you, your children, or other family members. Avoid driving too fast, and take precautions when using sharp instruments or handling flammable materials (especially household materials). When cooking and baking be careful to monitor the time and temperature you use, or your dish may be overdone or burned to a crisp. Check your home for possible fire hazards. The heating or cooling system of your home or car may require repairs or replacement. Make an effort to protect yourself, especially from excessive insect bites, bleeding, colitis, ulcers, digestive upsets, and insomnia.

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.

Apr 7 through Jun 30, Exact on May 22
The energy of this influence is favorable, and it is represented by an opportunity to gain power or control, to revitalize or renovate something that has been lost, to make a new start. Its target is your generation as a whole and the spiritual values, charitable institutions, and ideals associated with your generation. Unless you happen to be one of the individuals in your age group who holds a high level position of public influence, this period is not likely to have a strong or dynamic impact on your personal life.

Transit MARS sextile natal Saturn
May 25 through May 28, Exact on May 27
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.

MARS transit House Nine
Enters on May 29
The energy-filled atmosphere that surrounds you can inspire your enthusiasm in so many potential directions it makes it almost impossible to predict which path or paths you will choose. Physical efforts may focus on higher education, religion, politics, travel, cultural pursuits, foreign languages, writing, and publishing. However, there are numerous other categories that can just as easily arouse your interest and physical participation-- speculative ventures, sports, court decisions, a second marriage, and activities or relations with in-laws. The most positive way to approach this influence is to use whatever circumstances and activities you encounter as a way to broaden your spiritual and intellectual horizons.

Transit MARS trine natal Mars
May 31 through Jun 3, Exact on Jun 2
You are surrounded by an abundance of free and easygoing energy during this period. If you need help getting things done, it will appear. People you encounter are apt to be applying their physical efforts toward the same or very similar goals. Obstacles in your path are few or nonexistent. Under this influence you can make one effort fit neatly into the next one-- resulting in a series of accomplishments. It is also a time when your physical actions--whatever their purpose-- may have the fortunate consequence of putting you in the right place at the right time.

Transit MARS trine natal Neptune
Jun 1 through Jun 4, Exact on Jun 2
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 MARS sextile natal Mercury
Jun 2 through Jun 5, Exact on Jun 3
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 MARS trine natal Venus
Jun 7 through Jun 10, Exact on Jun 8
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.

Jun 8 through Jun 11, Exact on Jun 9
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.

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 your job or work, all physical activities and efforts, male relationships in general, and operating or handling of any type of machinery and equipment-- and to situations that will eventually lead to your participation or success in these areas.

Transit MARS conjoined natal Uranus
Jun 21 through Jun 24, Exact on Jun 23
The actions of others during this period may inspire you positively or negatively (there's 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.

Jun 24 through Jun 27, Exact on Jun 26
Unless negative circumstances also occur at this time and discourage the otherwise potential benefits of this period, your general status will greatly improve. Success is apt to be the result of just about anything you attempt. Efforts rarely come to nothing under this influence. Even a failed effort is likely to result in some better prospect. This is definitely the time to promote and demonstrate the position and knowledge you have achieved. You are highly favored in activities that involve long-distance travel, writing, publishing, theater, dance, art, religion, politics, law, investment and finances, and sports. Gambles and other risk-taking ventures are likely to pay off. Men in your life, especially a male parent, are also favored at this time-- and your own good fortune may also come through them. This is a period in which to grab and savor everything that brings enjoyment, humor, truth, and the good life. Do not however, let overconfidence in your own ability, the pursuit of pleasure, or laziness spoil the potential success of enterprises.

Jun 29 through Jul 1, Exact on Jun 30
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 you're looking for.

Transit SATURN square natal Saturn
Jun 21 through Jul 22, Exact on Jul 4
There is little flexibility in your current circumstances. The key is to find the little that is there. People and situations you encounter are too much alike, imposing too many of the same restrictions, fears, or formalities to allow for new growth or overwhelming success. The positive side is that it is only temporary and should not be allowed to drastically interfere with your plans and goals.

Transit MARS square natal Mars
Jul 14 through Jul 17, Exact on Jul 15
The raw energy in your present environment is stimulating, but the tension it also implies can bring anger and frustration that slow down efforts to get things done. Everyone may be too busy to pay enough attention to helping anyone else. It is not the time for indecisive actions or you run the risk that others will attain the success you had hoped to achieve. This period is one of a decidedly masculine influence. The methods needed are apt to require physical strength, and the energy with which they are performed must be rough and aggressive-- making up in forcefulness and determination for what may be lacking in caution or refinement.

MARS transit House Ten
Enters on Jul 15
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 MARS square natal Neptune
Jul 15 through Jul 18, Exact on Jul 16
Your actions during this period may very well be inspired, but they are not apt to be organized, well-planned or carefully executed. The shortest distance between two points is not likely to be the expected straight line. The present atmosphere is not conducive to logical actions, though you may find plenty of rationalizations for the actions you do take. You will have to make a determined effort if you wish to avoid wasting time and energy. Methods used to accomplish something must depend on intuition and instinct, since there may be little else to go on. Under this influence there is a certain amount of danger due to inattention, or because you may simply be unaware of potentially perilous situations. Laziness is another potential obstacle you may have to overcome.

Because this is a relatively long-term period, many other influences will occur that may either emphasize its effect or perhaps mask it temporarily. Other significant factors that will contribute to the way you react, and ultimately to the way things turn out, include your age, maturity, and your past experiences. This influence has as much to do with the past as it does to the present. It will force you to throw out what is wasteful and to abandon unsuccessful situations, replacing them with something more solid and useful. In the case of this particular period, the emphasis is on joint income or whatever assets and status you may have gained through marriage or business partnership, inheritance, investments and property you own or manage for others, and finances related to debt or the collection of debt. The tax collector will cast his long shadow if there has been careless attention paid to such matters or deliberate attempts to evade or mislead him in the past. Death is apt to be another focus of this influence. It does not imply your own demise or even that of a family member or friend. Some aspect of death, however remote it occurs from your own circle, may come along to remind you of the need to appreciate life. This is also likely to be a period of personal evaluation with regard to being more resourceful, and willing to use whatever skills and abilities you possess to contribute to your own independence, financial and otherwise. If you are forced to understand and responsibly handle debts, monetary assets, and material and nonmaterial resources at this time, do these things willingly and well. It is the key to your future security.

Jul 21 through Jul 24, Exact on Jul 22
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 URANUS trine natal Venus
Jun 26 through Aug 19, Exact on Jul 25
Interactions with others during this period may include very exciting, unusual people, any one of whom may potentially turn out to be a new business or marriage partner or ally in joint ventures and other cooperative efforts. Finding a romantic partner and forming congenial female relationships are also strong possibilities. Relationships you establish at this time may be with those who are quite different from you, or the relationships and alliances themselves are of such a nature they may be considered unorthodox or nontraditional. Social events of which you are a part or which you attend will also tend to have some element of the unexpected or unusual about them. Artistic and creative projects, and commercial or diplomatic endeavors are apt to be quite successful, but they too, will consist of unexpected or unusual elements. Unless negative influences occur at this time to discourage it, this is a very stimulating and favorable, if somewhat unpredictable, influence. Staying home alone or in isolated spots however reduces the favorable odds. Though you cannot control the circumstances of your good fortune, you can attract your own luck by putting yourself in social or public situations among many different kinds of people. If possible travel to new and exotic places and be willing to try new experiences.

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.

Aug 8 through Aug 11, Exact on Aug 10
A certain amount of restlessness and lack of attention to detail in your actions during this period may be the consequence of responding too much to "the big picture". Increased tendency to overreach may result in your having to pay the consequences for exaggeration and extravagant gestures. Do not be tempted to accept more work than you are physically capable of handling, or assignments for which you lack the proper skills or experience. Do not take risks if you cannot afford to suffer the consequences of the potential loss. The point to remember (and possibly avoid while under this influence) is that your tendency toward expansive gestures, to whatever that trait exists in your nature and personality, will be enhanced. If your gestures are prudent you will overcome whatever physical obstacles block your path. Whether or not you succeed, at least you will not walk away empty handed.

Transit MARS conjoined natal Saturn
Aug 22 through Aug 25, Exact on Aug 24
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.

Aug 29 through Sep 1, Exact on Aug 30
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 I'll 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 MARS sextile natal Neptune
Aug 29 through Sep 2, Exact on Aug 31
This is a period to look for opportunities that expand your spiritual and artistic awareness and allow you to develop and use your intuitive abilities. Taking advantage of the people and situations you encounter under this influence, may lead to more mundane opportunities including a chance to go swimming, fishing, sailing, or dancing. Depending on your particular interests and the nature of circumstances at this time, your efforts may mean eventual success in activities that involve such areas as promotion, photography, magic, illusion, oil or gas industries, charitable institutions, bankruptcy proceedings, art and entertainment. The only problem you encounter during this period may be in distinguishing genuine opportunities from false or misleading promises. Be as astute as you can under the circumstances.

Transit MARS conjoined natal Mercury
Aug 31 through Sep 3, Exact on Sep 1
Mental energies are high--urging you to turn thoughts into actions. An energetic stream of information and ideas flows through your immediate environment, and there is strong potential that much of it is generated by you. A faster pace and increased volume of communications can become chaotic, and at times, inspire an aggressive atmosphere-- verbal combat being a not unlikely prospect. You do not hesitate to speak your mind or demand that others do the same. On the other hand, it may be a case of others who challenge you to defend your ideas or opinions. Meetings and discussion groups tend to be enthusiastic and energetic, or, if the conditions encourage such an atmosphere, they may be aggressive and combative. By choice or circumstance you may put more physical efforts into the use or development of athletic, mechanical, computer, or artistic skills. Under this influence, sales and other commercial transactions and business activities are more vigorous--though the competition encountered may also be more fierce. Your car or other motorized vehicles, office equipment, or computer may require repairs or replacement. A greater urge to travel is apt to be accompanied by increased tendency to speed. As a result you are tempted to drive too fast or become unduly impatient when stuck in traffic jams. You may be unavoidably detained by delays in public transportation. There is also potential to suffer from headaches and cuts or burns, especially to the head, face, hands, or fingers.

MARS transit House Eleven
Enters on Sep 2
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 don't 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 don't want.

Transit MARS sextile natal Venus
Sep 5 through Sep 8, Exact on Sep 7
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 MARS conjoined natal Pluto
Sep 6 through Sep 9, Exact on Sep 8
The vitality in the people and situations you encounter now is likely to be of an intense and purposeful nature. And it is also true that they may be of the sort to inspire you to be a good deal more forceful than usual in expending your own energy. This is a time, for example, when you can successfully tackle projects that require more than the usual amount of patience and concentration. From a negative point of view, your interaction with others can cause you to become deeply jealous and vengeful, perhaps with truly perilous results; and thus, it would not be wise to confront or provoke a hostile situation. Several positive uses for this influence include rejuvenating certain aspects of your life; bringing out your hidden talents; finding new uses for old things; assessing and investing assets of all kinds; and conducting research and investigation, especially concerning the mysteries of the science and nature.

Because this is a relatively long-term period, many other influences will occur that may either emphasize its effect or perhaps mask it temporarily. Other significant factors that will contribute to the way you react, and ultimately to the way things turn out, include your age, maturity, and your past experiences. This influence has as much to do with the past as it does to the present. It will force you to throw out what is wasteful and to abandon unsuccessful situations, replacing them with something more solid and useful. In the case of this particular period, the emphasis is not directly on you but on others; how you interact and deal with them, and how others tend to view you (as opposed to the image you think you project). During this period people may tend to view you as some sort of authority figure. They may also see you as being more austere, inflexible, or unapproachable, than you may actually be. The greatest focus of this influence however, targets partnership, alliances, and joint ventures. Should you or those involved with you harbor disappointment or seriously diverging opinions and goals, the relationship will invariably suffer at this time. It may even be terminated if compromise or agreement cannot be reached. On the other hand, a longer-lasting, more stable marriage or other alliance may emerge if difficulties are surmounted and commitments are strengthened. Marriage or partnership undertaken at this time suggests a union forged from the pressure of responsibility or as a practical matter of expediency. This rather mundane, unemotional description is not to predict that the outcome of the association will not be successful, or that the participants will not gain some satisfaction and valuable experience as a result of it. Legal matters are not apt to find easy or swift conclusion, and the same can be said for contract negotiations and matters related to counseling. Though gaining cooperation from others is certainly possible, it will not be granted freely, and the additional responsibilities you are required to accept in exchange may not be worth it.

Transit MARS square natal Moon
Sep 20 through Sep 23, Exact on Sep 21
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 MARS sextile natal Uranus
Sep 21 through Sep 24, Exact on Sep 23
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 MARS sextile natal Jupiter
Sep 24 through Sep 28, Exact on Sep 26
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.

Sep 22 through Oct 9, Exact on Sep 30
Meetings of any kind can be difficult for you to organize or coordinate under this influence. Though a spirit of generosity and togetherness seems to be encouraged by current circumstances, too many people going off in too many different directions makes accomplishing group efforts more difficult to organize in spite of everyone's good intentions. Progress can be made toward attaining common goals or resolving disputes, but most likely only by letting others do their own thing independently and then bringing all the separate efforts together.

Transit MARS conjoined natal Sun
Sep 29 through Oct 2, Exact on Oct 1
During this period you experience a surge of vitality--a stronger identification with so-called male energy. Your inner determination becomes stronger, and ego gratification is the guiding force behind many of your physical actions. You energetically go after things or people in a number of ways depending on the circumstances. Under this influence, your actions may result in an act of great courage, aggressive push to get ahead, enthusiastic endorsement, or demonstration in one form or another of your integrity and principles. You either encounter physical challenges or purposely initiate direct confrontations and competitive or risky situations. You may be well able and willing to physically handle whatever comes along during this period (or at least believe that you can) but take care that your actions and activities do not strain your heart or spine or result in sunburn or injuries to your head or face.

Chance and circumstances these days may afford you the opportunity to express your emotions, to get what you want, to follow your heart. Your emotional life is given a chance to grow and expand in one form or another. This does not imply a time when you may actually succeed, only that you will find the opportunity that will lead to success. What are your desires, your requirements for emotional satisfaction? Money? Love? Power? Knowledge? The success of this period may come in the form of an opportunity to realize what you do not want, in itself a highly liberating situation.

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 your job or work, all physical activities and efforts, male relationships in general, and operating or handling of any type of machinery and equipment-- and to situations that will eventually lead to your participation or success in these areas.

Past actions, good or bad, may catch up to you. During this period you may prefer that others do not observe your activities, either because these efforts actually concern secret matters or merely because you may accomplish more by working alone. Even if you do not experience the need to take covert actions and circumstances do not force you to be alone, it may be the most positive way to make use of the available energy if you adopt this approach anyway. Under this influence you can explore and develop inner strengths, and gain a deeper understanding of your childhood conditioning, subconscious mind, fears, and dreams. Yet another potential is for increased involvement with the activities of charitable organizations, hospitals, prisons, and institutions that are concerned with minorities and the underprivileged.

The energy of this influence is favorable, and it is represented by an opportunity to gain power or control, to revitalize or renovate something that has been lost, to make a new start. Its target is your generation as a whole and the spiritual values, charitable institutions, and ideals associated with your generation. Unless you happen to be one of the individuals in your age group who holds a high level position of public influence, this period is not likely to have a strong or dynamic impact on your personal life.

Nov 8 through Nov 12, Exact on Nov 10
Your personal environment is likely to be pretty smooth during this period. Schedules are not interrupted, machinery hums along as it should, everyone does what they are supposed to, and tasks are accomplished on time and with little effort. Creativity and imagination are enhanced. Your actions are more apt to be guided by instinct and intuition. Efforts related to home, family and nutrition are not only successful but emotionally satisfying. This is an excellent time for planting seeds. Activities involving or related to women and babies are highly favored. Under this influence you do not feel the need to compete with anyone, not even yourself. If something comes along that you enjoy you will have plenty of enthusiasm and energy to pursue it.

Nov 10 through Nov 13, Exact on Nov 11
Present circumstances may put you into such a tense or aggravated state as to cause you to do something you would not ordinarily do. Because this influence implies rash as well as unpredictable actions, caution is advised during this period. Keep in mind that not only are your actions unpredictable but also their consequences, that is, whatever you hope to gain by them is not likely to be what results. The performance of machinery and equipment, as well as that of the people who may work for or with you, is also unpredictable at this time. Expect to encounter some snags when you attempt to make changes in work schedules or introduce new methods.

Oct 26 through Dec 18, Exact on Nov 22
The energy of this long-term influence is favorable and the benefits and good fortune that come your way during this period are likely to have implications for your success in the future. This means the efforts you make during this period that are specifically involved with education, writing, computers, communications, travel, transportation, sales and other business transactions, community affairs, contacts with siblings, and the development or use of your ideas, methods, and basic mechanical skills will no doubt be successful. However, just as important as any immediate victories you may have, is the fact that these efforts will have a significant role to play in giving you the power or influence to maintain, or regain if necessary, success in these same areas at some point in the future. During this period, your siblings, neighbors, and those with whom you work or deal with on a daily basis are favored-- and they may also be the means of your own good fortune.

Transit MARS sextile natal Saturn
Nov 29 through Dec 3, Exact on Dec 1
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.

MARS transit House One
Enters on Dec 7
This is likely to be a physically active period for you. The energizing influence it brings arouses your competitive spirit and inspires you to be more aggressive, perhaps even physically combative, than you may ordinarily be. Should contrary influences in the current circumstances prevent you from actually being more energetic, you are still likely to want to give others the impression of being very busy. You may be less patient and more restless. Many of your physical activities these days are directed to satisfying personal needs and goals. Consciously or subconsciously you seek to bring everything into your world rather than the other way around. If you have an accident or experience illness at this time, it is apt to involve your head or face. Be careful when handling sharp objects and hot or explosive materials.

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.

Dec 7 through Dec 11, Exact on Dec 9
During this period the best advice is to keep a low and cautious profile. Though it is possible for actions to be truly inspired, the potential is high for making unwise decisions and taking equally unwise actions. People you encounter can quickly become confused or misunderstand you or your actions; nor are you any more likely to understand the actions or motives of others. Trying to discover and sort out who did what, and where, when, or why it was done, may be virtually impossible. Physical efforts may be purposely secretive, or simply go undetected or unrecognized. Physical energy and efforts can quickly become dissipated or undermined. The positive potential includes increased enthusiasm for spiritual awareness and artistic sensitivity. Extreme caution is advised when around or in the water, and when dealing with drugs, chemicals, or gas.

Transit MARS sextile natal Mercury
Dec 9 through Dec 13, Exact on Dec 11
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 URANUS trine natal Venus
Dec 14 through Dec 31
Interactions with others during this period may include very exciting, unusual people, any one of whom may potentially turn out to be a new business or marriage partner or ally in joint ventures and other cooperative efforts. Finding a romantic partner and forming congenial female relationships are also strong possibilities. Relationships you establish at this time may be with those who are quite different from you, or the relationships and alliances themselves are of such a nature they may be considered unorthodox or nontraditional. Social events of which you are a part or which you attend will also tend to have some element of the unexpected or unusual about them. Artistic and creative projects, and commercial or diplomatic endeavors are apt to be quite successful, but they too, will consist of unexpected or unusual elements. Unless negative influences occur at this time to discourage it, this is a very stimulating and favorable, if somewhat unpredictable, influence. Staying home alone or in isolated spots however reduces the favorable odds. Though you cannot control the circumstances of your good fortune, you can attract your own luck by putting yourself in social or public situations among many different kinds of people. If possible travel to new and exotic places and be willing to try new experiences.

Dec 15 through Dec 19, Exact on Dec 17
New partnership, alliances, and joint ventures may be established, and those in which you are currently involved may experience renewed energy and enthusiasm. Unless negative situations are around to provoke unpleasant attitudes, your willingness to cooperate is enhanced, and in return, you are just as likely to receive generous assistance with your own projects. Interactions with others at all levels are more invigorating. Physical efforts are also especially enthusiastic if you are involved in art, music, design, or the beauty business. If you have been thinking of undergoing cosmetic surgery, enhancing your wardrobe, or redecorating your home, you are apt to put such plans into action at this time. Romantic adventures, legal matters, and social events are other prime targets of energetic endeavors. There is nothing in any of these potential situations to suggest whether the efforts put forth are positive or negative, or whether they will have positive or negative consequences. Other prevailing circumstances will have to determine the outcome.

Dec 17 through Dec 21, Exact on Dec 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 JUPITER sextile natal Moon
Dec 9 through Dec 27, Exact on Dec 19
Chance and circumstances these days may afford you the opportunity to express your emotions, to get what you want, to follow your heart. Your emotional life is given a chance to grow and expand in one form or another. This does not imply a time when you may actually succeed, only that you will find the opportunity that will lead to success. What are your desires, your requirements for emotional satisfaction? Money? Love? Power? Knowledge? The success of this period may come in the form of an opportunity to realize what you do not want, in itself a highly liberating situation.

Dec 18 through Dec 31, Exact on Dec 26
Meetings of any kind can be difficult for you to organize or coordinate under this influence. Though a spirit of generosity and togetherness seems to be encouraged by current circumstances, too many people going off in too many different directions makes accomplishing group efforts more difficult to organize in spite of everyone's good intentions. Progress can be made toward attaining common goals or resolving disputes, but most likely only by letting others do their own thing independently and then bringing all the separate efforts together.

Transit SATURN trine natal Sun
Dec 13 through Dec 31
This is a period of positive energy. The fortunate potentials of this influence must be viewed from two vantage points, the past and the present. Hard work, planning, and organization that have marked your efforts in the past may now bring the rewards you deserve. Others are likely to bestow praise and admiration for the loyalty, honesty, generosity, and integrity you have demonstrated. You can correct mistakes that led to past failures and use whatever else you may have learned from these experiences to begin another enterprise that, under this influence, has an excellent chance to succeed. This period has to do with the success of your ego drives and the satisfaction of indelibly stamping your individuality on situations as well as in relationships. While emotional demands may have a part to play in what you go after, when all is said and done, it is more a case of wanting to take pride in and gain recognition for your accomplishments. If you have long sought a position of leadership, this is a time when you are apt to attain it. Perhaps the only real drawback of this period is that unless some improbable piece of luck such as winning the lottery occurs, you may be unaware of being surrounded by such a favorable atmosphere.

Transit URANUS opposed natal Pluto
Dec 30 through Dec 31
This influence may bring circumstances and movements in society that disrupt and even totally eliminate the control or established sources of power that you have known in the past. When this influence occurred in the early 1900's the automobile and the airplane were introduced; eventually changing the methods and shifting the control of transportation from public to private individuals. At the time it occurred this, as in all generational influences, was felt on a personal level more by some individuals than others. Since you are at an advanced age when this period occurs, you have gained enough experience to effectively cope with the shifts in the power or control held by various political and social institutions that may or may not have some eventual impact on your personal life.
