Introduction to Your Personalized Horoscope Day-By-Day Report
What follows are “inner planet transits” to your personal birth chart. Use this report as a guide to the period ahead of you.
Note that some days have more than one influence associated with them, and others don’t have any. Pay attention to multiple influences on one day. If they contradict each other, this is natural. Our birth charts contain contradictory elements, as we are contradictory beings!
As well, our days are not always black and white. We don’t always have entirely good or entirely bad days. For example, one day we may be at our charming best, but we may experience a mechanical breakdown that frustrates us as well. When electing a day to start a project or other initiative, pay attention to the influences surrounding it. Remember, also, that we can exercise free will.
The interpretations of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars transiting the houses last for a few weeks. For example, if your report reveals the Sun transiting the first house, this influence lasts until the date that the Sun is transiting the next house (in this case, the second house). The same is true for Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
Many interpretations include “headlines”–keywords or phrases that help sum up the influence.

You are simply not seeing people objectively now. Your imagination is very active and creative however and so is your yearning for something beautiful. The artist in you emerges, and your creations please and inspire you. Relationship ups and downs characterize this transit–a time when romantic mirages are more than likely. You see what you hope to see, rather than what really is. The “highs” of a relationship begun under this energy may be thrilling, but the accompanying “lows” are bound to set in, and they can be extremely draining. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment. The same goes for finances–what appears to be a great buy is likely to turn out to be a financial drain or money pit.

Misconceptions.

It is not likely that you will lose yourself in a great book or movie. You may feel separated and not a part of everything around you. This may be a discouraging day when things don’t quite seem to go your way, or you feel a bit drained. Take a break and don’t start any serious new project today. Minor disappointments or just plain fatigue might hit you like a ton of bricks today. Lay low for more energizing times to come. Don’t ask for anything, such as help, as it is unlikely to be forthcoming. Instead, find time to help someone. It could lift your spirits, and you won’t fall into the easy tendency to feel sorry for yourself that this aspect often brings. Confusion, inability to focus on mundane tasks, poor understanding or miscommunication between yourself and others, and the desire to evade real responsibilities and challenges are negative potentials for you now. You are more sensitive, impressionable, dreamy, or idealistic at this time also. It can be difficult to concentrate and to formulate clear goals right now. Misconceptions abound. Concentrating on artistic or spiritual pursuits is better than focusing on things that require straightforward, factual thinking today. It can be difficult knowing where or how to direct your willpower under this influence. It’s also a challenge knowing where you stand with others.

Compulsion and obsession may characterize the day. The urge for physical love is prominent. Choose partners and actions with care. Charms seem to work today, and obsessions are possible. You value your darker, more secretive areas and don’t mind working through some sensitive problems. Deep emotions, both positive and negative, are stirred up within you, and you become more intense and demanding of the people you are closest to. Fears, insecurities, jealousies, and hidden resentments may surface, as well as a very strong need to be loved and to love. There is a compelling, urgent quality to the feelings you experience now, and you may develop a powerful attraction to someone who fascinates and mystifies you. This is a good time to reveal your deepest feelings, fears, needs, and yearnings with the ones you love. This is an “all or nothing” energy. You have the power of attraction at your disposal. Things shouldn’t be forced, even though the desire to sway, coerce, and manipulate others may be present. Passions are strong and intense. There is a tendency to want–and to demand–a lot from a partnership or friendship. This is a time when you can be focused and confident, especially when it comes to handling business and finances, as well as with regards to love and partnership. Powerful and uplifting time for romantic/sexual relationships. New insights into relationships and love. Strong attractions. Relationships begun under this influence are intense and passionate, deep and far from superficial, and can be quite possessive as well.

You are in the right place at the right time. Favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. Your ability to concentrate on mundane concerns and problems diminishes now. The world of imagination, fantasy, entertainment, or art holds more attraction for you. Go to a movie with a friend (or write your own!). Also, your psychic sensitivity and intuition are heightened at this time. You are more impressionable and open, but somewhat less precise and clear mentally.

Competition.
Be prepared for momentary confrontations and opposition from others to your desires. Pay close attention to your own needs in these situations. Exercise caution in risky circumstances, especially if you are feeling frustrated. Your relationships have a very competitive, aggressive quality at this time, and conflicts over power and dominance may erupt. You won’t compromise yourself to please anyone. Disputes in your marriage or other close partnerships are likely. On the other hand, you may begin a relationship now, boldly taking the initiative to pursue someone you want to be with. You will come on strong to this person, but he or she might just love it!

Mercury conjunct Uranus: 8/25/2008 7:08 AM, Exact
Flashes of insight.
This phase puts the zip back into your communications. New concepts present themselves. Think before speaking. Sudden intuitive insights can present marvelous solutions and sudden good news can arrive that takes you completely by surprise. Unexpected short trips that prove to be profitable or information received can be quite different and unusual to some degree. Phone lines can get real fuzzy and spontaneous reactions to situations are highly probable at this time.
Mercury conjunct Sun: 8/25/2008 3:23 PM, Exact
Clarity.
Communicate with confidence today. Your understanding of the part you play is clear and easily expressed. You make yourself perfectly clear at this time, coming across in a very direct, articulate manner. Your honesty and willingness to communicate openly impresses others.

If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communications, this is a very positive and fruitful time for you.
Venus conjunct Uranus: 8/26/2008 4:49 AM, Exact
Unusual, sudden attractions.
Love is surprising! The urge for something new and different is prominent. Unusual forms of art and entertainment are attractive. Independence, as well as anything unusual or different, is valued. You may enjoy getting away from routine and doing something completely different for a change. You are craving emotional excitement, stimulation, and something new and alive. This is a time for music, dancing, and being joyfully spontaneous. Your social inhibitions are loosened, and you may be tempted to have a wild flirtation or to act in a rather reckless way in a relationship. Peculiar attractions, to people AND to things, characterize this period. These attractions are quite unlikely to last, however.
Venus conjunct Sun: 8/26/2008 2:41 PM, Exact
Turn on the charm!
Today your personal attractiveness is strong. Romance and creativity manifest. Any activity involving children, business, and the arts is favored. Enjoy!
This is a day for sentimentality and tenderness. If you are spending the day alone, pampering yourself makes a lot of sense, and it’s a great time to improve your appearance and your manner. You are especially charming today, however, so you might NOT want to isolate yourself. Your personal magnetism is strong and you attract appreciation, affection and attention at this time. Feelings of love, a desire for beauty, and the urge to be creative are strong. You beautify your surroundings, and pay particular attention to your appearance. This is a good time to treat yourself or do something fun just for you.

Misrepresenting yourself.
Feelings and rationality conflict now. Beware of saying too much. Emotional outbursts are a possibility. Conversations have a particularly emotional, intimate, or nostalgic tone. Sharing memories and reminiscences, or discussing a very personal topic with someone you feel you can trust is likely now. You may have a significant communication (letter, phone call, or personal discussion) with someone who was once very important to you or with whom you have a long history. This is a good time to reflect, review, and get a perspective on emotional matters or things of the past. What feels right clashes with logic today. What comes out of your mouth today is likely to be a misrepresentation of your true feelings and emotions.

Spring fever.
Your ego rises to any stimuli. Allowing an unrestrained subconscious to run wild brings poor results. You know just what you want right now and woe to anyone or anything that gets in your way! You are much more likely to become domineering, pushy, or inconsiderate of others now, so it is a good time for you to do what you need to do by yourself rather than with others. Accidents, mistakes made in haste, or ego conflicts may occur due to your impatience and willfulness. You have “spring fever” no matter what the season. Driven by a restless desire to do something, without a well-defined goal, you tend towards impulsive actions and get yourself into needless arguments. Positively, physical energy is high and you could accomplish a great deal.
Venus oppose Moon: 8/29/2008 2:27 AM, Exact
This is a good time to handle any domestic activity, but delay a search for love until emotions are more discrete. Your feelings, friends, and female relatives figure prominently in your life now.

The mind takes a slightly downward turn now. Negativity and withdrawal are possible. Think positive. You are likely to distance yourself from others now, feeling the need to withdraw and reflect. Your thoughts are inclined to be heavy, critical, and pessimistic at this time, so it would be good to realize that you are only seeing part of the picture, and perhaps seek the advice of an older, experienced person who has passed through some of the challenges you face. This can also be a time of leaving, separating from friends and choosing a new way.

Conflicts between duty and pleasure, or between sober practicality and a yearning for love and emotional satisfaction, are likely now. This can be a very frustrating time, and you are likely to feel quite alone, emotionally aloof or withdrawn. A relationship may end or a temporary break may be made. This is a time to relinquish something or someone you once cherished but which no longer has a positive purpose in your life. Rejection in relationships is probable. Ask for favors at another time. Social gatherings prove disappointing. Artists are uninspired. Avoid starting a new romance or making serious decisions about an existing one just now. When it comes to finances, don’t sign on the dotted line.

Outspoken.
A tendency to speak with conviction could develop into a sharp tongue if challenged. There is a risk in travel. Slow down. This is not the best time to schedule any activity that calls for tact, diplomacy, or caution, as you are inclined to be extremely straightforward, direct, and to the point in all of your interactions. You say exactly what you think, and in fact are inclined to be verbally aggressive, pushy, or perhaps sarcastic. Your mind is very sharp now, so this is a good time to “attack” intellectual or mental work.
Venus conjunct Mercury: 9/11/2008 7:53 AM, Exact
Romantic expression.
Expressions of love and creativity come easier. Business communications prosper. Write an amusing note. This is perhaps a time to think and study, for you have a real appreciation for ideas and thoughts. You may find yourself enjoying a long conversation, writing a letter, or making a special phone call. You use charm, humor, and a light touch to get your point across now, and your friendly attitude makes a favorable impression on others. Your artistic and aesthetic sense is heightened now also, and interest in literature, poetry, and culture is strong. Serious and demanding mental work should probably be put off for another time, as either your mind is more on matters of the heart or you simply want to relax and think of lighter topics.
Sun conjunct Pluto: 9/12/2008 8:24 PM, Exact
Drive, focus.
Great energy can manifest, but use of force guarantees poor results. Restoration and regeneration are possible. Something that has been lost or hidden may come to light now. Secrets, long-buried feelings and desires, or skeletons in the closet could be revealed. This is also a time when you can easily go to extremes. You become deeply involved in, and even somewhat obsessive about, whatever you are doing. Driving yourself beyond your limits can be destructive now. Take advantage of your ability to focus, and apply this extra energy and insight constructively.
Sun sextile Neptune: 9/14/2008 9:42 AM, Exact
Intuitive.
Creative dreaming and charity characterize actions. Spirituality and awareness of others are pronounced. Let yourself dream today. These days don’t come too often, so don’t ignore this opportunity to let your imagination loose. Perhaps a good book or movie will take on that more-than-real dimension. Today you feel less competitive and ambitious about practical and mundane matters. The world of imagination, fantasy, art, music, or mysticism is very appealing to you now, and if you have talent in any of these areas, this can be a creative and fruitful time for you. However, the negative possibilities for you now are being undisciplined, slack, indefinite, and wasting time and energy.

Today’s transit represents obstacles and frustrations relating to business, the authorities and government, and possibly involving a male figure – especially if supported by outer planet transits and progressions. In any case, the transit indicates that your energy is to be best spent in those areas of public life that may also have an effect upon your domestic life. You are at cross-purposes with the people in your environment who are most able to benefit you. You tend to come on too strong, to be oblivious to others’ needs and intentions, or to act inappropriately now. You feel an urgency to take positive steps to achieve your goals, but be certain that you are not overstepping yourself, as this can cause some enmity at this time.

Mental block.
The mind takes a slightly downward turn now. Negativity and withdrawal are possible. Think positive. You are likely to distance yourself from others now, feeling the need to withdraw and reflect. Your thoughts are inclined to be heavy, critical, and pessimistic at this time, so it would be good to realize that you are only seeing part of the picture, and perhaps seek the advice of an older, experienced person who has passed through some of the challenges you face. This can also be a time of leaving, separating from friends and choosing a new way.
Venus trine Ascendant: 10/21/2008 8:09 AM, Exact
At your charming best.

It is a good time for social activities and for getting in touch with friends. You avoid heavy discussions and do not want to focus on dry, practical matters. Reading light fiction, going out to see a romantic comedy, or simply sharing a pleasant time with someone you like is more in tune with your feelings now.

Intense feelings.
Manipulation and underhanded dealings can color the relationship sector. Avoid power plays with friends and lovers. Hidden passions, fears, jealousies, longings, desire, or needs surface in you now and can stir up trouble in your closest relationships. You are prone to be compulsive or demanding in a close relationship, to be emotionally driven and to force things to a head in some emotionally laden situation. Positively, a relationship can be deepened and reborn now, given new life by your willingness to reveal yourself completely to your loved one. Passions are intense, but there’s a hidden agenda. Jealousy and possessiveness are high, in direct proportion to fear of losing partnership. Avoid starting a new relationship at this time, because it can be characterized by these energies.
Mars conjunct Neptune: 11/05/2008 2:14 AM, Exact
Whimsy.
Put off demanding tasks until energy returns. Odd sensations may accompany fears or phobias. Stimulants should be avoided now. You have strange desires, impulses, and feelings which are difficult to describe or understand. Your usual daily pursuits seem drab, meaningless, or curiously unsatisfying, so that it may be difficult to motivate yourself and focus on your work. On the other hand, you can get very fired up about something out of the ordinary, an ideal or dream, or fantasy that you usually consider too impractical to actually do anything about. Your imagination is very active. Artistic, creative work which expresses a visionary, whimsical, or fantastic quality is very fulfilling to you at this time. Sexual fantasies may be strong, tantra may appeal, passive-aggressiveness may be encountered.

Material benefits are, indeed, likely at this time, but beware of being overly generous or depending too much on Lady Luck.
Venus square Uranus: 11/08/2008 3:22 AM, Exact
Sudden, unusual attractions.
Relationships are disruptive. Inflexibility reaps dissension. This is a separation phase. Guard against unexpected losses. You are impulsively affectionate and flirtatious at this time, and you feel quite restless if you are in a stable, predictable relationship that offers little excitement. You may be highly attracted to someone new, simply because of the novelty and possibilities for adventure. Also, your friends or love partner may behave in unexpected ways. Flexibility and open-mindedness in your relationships is called for now. You are craving emotional excitement, stimulation, and something new and alive. You might have to deal with issues of freedom versus intimacy during this period. Peculiar or impulsive attractions are exciting, but unlikely to last very long. Treat them as passing fancies, and enjoy them while they last–but try to hold off on making any big decisions with regards to love today.
Mars square Jupiter: 11/08/2008 4:55 AM, Exact
Over-exertion; look before you leap!
Energies can escalate beyond control. Impulsive actions beget chaos. Self-control is the key to successful results. You are highly ambitious, full of optimism and enthusiasm for new enterprises and plans. In fact, you may be foolishly over-confident and take on more challenges than you can really meet. You are inclined to take physical risks, gamble, speculate, and to act on faith and belief in yourself. This can, in fact, be a very productive time for you if you can keep your expectations within reasonable bounds. Beware of over-exerting yourself.
Venus square Sun: 11/08/2008 1:27 PM, Exact

Smooth negotiations.
Luxuriate in a loving and lucky phase. Enjoy the arts. Appreciate the creative relationships that prosper now. Contentment, emotional well-being and harmony prevail in your personal relationships. At this time you relax, and indulge in your pleasure-loving side. Unless other astrological indications override this influence, you are unlikely to be forceful and try to make things happen, but instead are inclined to flow along with people and situations, attracting what you need and letting the world come to you. Harmonious interactions with others are favored at this time, likely because you yourself are projecting the more charming, cooperative, and agreeable side of your nature! Smoother negotiations are the result, and love is easier than usual to enjoy — and to find — today.
Venus square Moon: 11/11/2008 2:33 AM, Exact
A sweet tooth.
Avoid allowing affection and concern to become smother-mothering. Relationships with women are strained. Cycles are disrupted. The craving for sweetness and comfort in the form of loving affection or food is strong now. This is a good time to baby yourself and also to spend time with the people who love and appreciate you the most. Also, you are feeling rather tender and softhearted, and may do something “maternal” on impulse (such as take home a stray kitten, offer to baby-sit, buy a gift for your family, etc.).

Research brings rewards. You benefit now from strategy and keeping things to yourself for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something you had lost, and to gain some power are available now.
Mars square Venus: 11/12/2008 8:29 PM, Exact
Lust; tensions in relationships.
Feelings of affection may be over-shadowed by pure, unadulterated lust. Squelched passion turns to anger. Relationships are rocky. Your amorous feelings and passions are strong and compelling at this time, and you tend to be very demanding of a lover’s energy and affection. Tensions may erupt in close relationships because one of you feels that you have been giving more, and not receiving enough in return, or one of you is more amorous than the other. Frustrated love desire can easily turn to anger or irritability at this time.

People see you as a loving and lovable person, and as someone who is aware of their needs and feelings, which can benefit you at this time. Others are willing to help and cooperate with your aims.

Slacking off.
Frivolity and playfulness make work seem less important today. You are a peacemaker now, for harmony in your environment seems more important than ever. Loving relationships, giving and receiving affection, and attracting people into your life who are good for you are very likely at this time. Perhaps not the best time to present yourself to others or take a job interview.
Sun square Jupiter: 11/16/2008 3:20 AM, Exact
Avoid going overboard, and this can be a productive time. Credit spending should be curbed. It’s not a great day to make plans or decisions. It could be hard to figure out the right move. You may feel frustrated as to where you are headed in life just now. Someone older or in authority may disapprove of your actions or decisions. You are optimistic and possibly extravagant now. You are less cautious than usual, feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong. If you are inclined to overindulge, overspend, or go to excesses in any manner, this tendency is exaggerated at this time.

An interest in psychology or other peoples’ secrets comes to the fore. You enjoy spy stores, mystery, and supernatural stories. You possess more insight and psychological understanding than usual. You are willing to look beyond the surface of things and investigate further. Perhaps more importantly, you are more patient and strategic in your decision-making.
Mercury conjunct Neptune: 11/18/2008 3:33 AM, Exact
Inspired.
Dreams, imagination, and inspiration characterize this phase. Don’t allow rose- colored glasses to obscure reality. You find yourself at your most imaginative, at least when it comes to ideas and thoughts. Right now you have an opportunity to transcend the everyday thoughts and soar into more cosmic or eternal musings. Your thoughts are dreamy, fantastic, and faraway right now. Your imagination and intuition is heightened, which benefits any creative or artistic work you may do. However, your practical reasoning ability and your ability to focus on the here-and-now are diminished. Your judgment regarding concrete matters is a bit fuzzy at this time, so you may wish to delay making important decisions.
Sun square Venus: 11/19/2008 10:18 AM, Exact
Indulgence.
Desire for entertainment and luxury are strong. Delay major purchases and discipline the urge to splurge. Don’t pick out that new car today, because your sense of value may be stressed. You may be unable to appreciate or value people and things now. Your tastes may offend someone older or in authority. Your desire for love and affection, as well as beauty and pleasure, is strong now and you act on feelings and creative impulses more readily than usual. If you are not happy with some aspect of your personal life, these issues arise at this time and there may be disagreements or tension in a close relationship.

Keeping others at arm’s length.
This phase contributes to romantic disharmony and aloofness. Friends and lovers disappoint. Put off creative endeavors, new relationships, or financial plans for a few days. Withdrawing from emotional social contact is favored now, for even when you are with others you are likely to feel separate and alone. Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers are particularly bothersome to you now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems. It is a time to be quiet and to look objectively at how your relationships are going. Though not a pleasurable time, this can be a fruitful period in which to learn more about love and what you truly value. You may be feeling unsatisfied, isolated, and unloved. Personal relationships are likely to be strained as you express your affections cautiously and sparingly. If you believe you are not getting what you want in love, you attract negative situations and challenges in your relationships. This is not a good time to begin a new relationship–new ones begun now are likely to be stamped with themes of duty and restriction.

Disrupted routines; changes of plans.
Expect the unexpected, as routines are disrupted. Radical actions could result in accidents or romantic upsets. Someone older may tend to stifle your freedom. Your usual routine is likely to be disrupted now, either by “freak” accidents beyond your control or by your own impatience with the status quo. Sudden unexpected events, and breaking free of confining situations and relationships are very likely. During this transit, you feel the need for action, but if you don’t know where you’re headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you might feel a bit out of control. However, these events could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom.

Frustrating conversations and the feeling that you are coming across negatively are possible now, so you are inclined simply to keep your thoughts to yourself. Getting from point A to point B can be a challenge during this transit because of obstacles. Communications may be blocked or delayed, and negative thinking could dominate at this time.

Imagination and fantasy fog judgment and create romantic confusion. Keep expectations realistic. Dreams, wishes, and fantasies about love are strong now, and you may be infatuated with someone you meet at this time, only to be disappointed later when you discover this person does not fulfill all of your expectations. You are simply not seeing people objectively now. Your imagination is very active and creative however and so is your yearning for something beautiful. The artist in you emerges, and your creations please and inspire you. Relationship ups and downs characterize this transit–a time when romantic mirages are more than likely. You see what you hope to see, rather than what really is. The “highs” of a relationship begun under this energy may be thrilling, but the accompanying “lows” are bound to set in, and they can be extremely draining. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment. The same goes for finances–what appears to be a great buy is likely to turn out to be a financial drain or money pit.

Roadblocks.
Obstacles to accomplishment and gratification arise causing feelings of defeat. Responsibilities weigh more heavily. It may be hard to organize or persevere today. Everything may seem to be falling apart and coming unglued. Don’t force things. Be patient and let the chaos blow itself out. Clashes with authorities or someone older over responsibilities are possible. Relationships with men and people in authority may be particularly uncomfortable. Also, you have more self-doubt than usual; your mood is somber and rather self-critical. This is a good time to take stock of your life, to see how you are limiting and holding yourself back, and to determine your next steps. But do not attempt to press forward now, and don’t take whatever setbacks you experience too much too heart. It’s hard to satisfy the ego today. You feel blocked by circumstances or others. It’s too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster. Gratitude isn’t forthcoming right now, so it’s best to wait it out rather than waste energy letting it get to you. As you face obstacles to your goals, you begin to see the tools with which you have to overcome them. A little dose of realism seems forced upon you under this influence, but your efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase your confidence in your ability to be responsible for yourself. This influence is a somber one, but it’s passing.

Your needs for love, companionship, friendship, and sharing are very strong now, and you won’t want to be alone or work go off to do solitary work. In fact, you feel like relaxing and enjoying the beautiful side of life rather than laboring or concentrating on difficult tasks. A significant development in a close relationship or strong feelings of attraction to someone you encounter, are very likely at this time. On the other hand, someone with a different set of values than your own may confront you. That person’s taste may run counter to yours. There could be a mutual lack of appreciation.

Letters, phone calls, and conversations that you initiate are productive at this time.
Sun square Mercury: 1/04/2009 3:17 PM, Exact
Speaking or writing may create ego conflicts unless your very active mind considers others. A fast pace, with many letters, phone calls, errands, meetings, or discussions, is on the agenda. You may feel mentally restless, impatient, and overly eager to get your own ideas across. Also, a situation may arise which requires you to say what is on your mind, to make a decision, or to clearly voice your personal opinion on some issue. Don’t be surprised if you are not in top mental gear today. You could find yourself struggling to communicate or being easily misunderstood. Hard words are possible with an authority figure or an older person.

Take advantage of all opportunities to socialize with the people you have professional ties with for the outcome is likely to be quite positive.

Busy and productive.
This is a time to act on those plans and negotiations involving others. Well-conceived arguments are convincing. Enthusiasm and energetic communications are likely. You are productive and take “busy-ness” in stride. You are alert and aware, and can easily turn ideas into workable–or marketable–projects. You are eager to discuss your thoughts and plans with others at this time and you may have a very fruitful brainstorming session, a spirited debate, or a very active meeting with others in which things really get accomplished. You are verbally assertive and can present your own plan or idea quite convincingly.

Relationship tangles.
Ego conflicts in romantic and sexual relationships could cause stress. If sex is stifled, arguments ensue. Try tenderness. Tangles in romantic relationships are likely now. Your sexual drive is quite strong, and you may be more concerned with satisfying your own desires than in being sensitive to your partner. All interactions with people of the opposite sex are inclined to be tense right now.

Frustration!
Frustrated anger and blocked actions lead to the desire to smash something. Patience and attention to detail prevent accidents and mistakes. Frustrations, smoldering anger, and a feeling of being blocked when you are attempting to go after what you want characterize this transit. Your desire to take action and to express your aggressive urges constructively feels thwarted or blocked. It can feel like more effort than usual is required to complete tasks.
Sun trine Pluto: 1/10/2009 12:58 PM, Exact
Powerful insight.
It may be possible to be a positive force in the world now, especially if attempting to improve conditions for all. This is an excellent time to eliminate whatever is unnecessary and outworn in your life, from clutter and disorder in your environment, to an unhealthy relationship or even a long-held attitude or belief which keeps you from going after what you really want in life. You are also more perceptive than usual. You see other people’s true colors more clearly and you may discover a secret or the hidden aspect of some situation. Something lost, hidden, or forgotten may come to light. Real insight into your own inner workings or psychology could surface today, and in a manageable form. You may be in the mood for deep and penetrating conversations or thoughts.
Sun sextile Neptune: 1/12/2009 12:37 AM, Exact
Intuitive.
Creative dreaming and charity characterize actions. Spirituality and awareness of others are pronounced. Let yourself dream today. These days don’t come too often, so don’t ignore this opportunity to let your imagination loose. Perhaps a good book or movie will take on that more-than-real dimension. Today you feel less competitive and ambitious about practical and mundane matters. The world of imagination, fantasy, art, music, or mysticism is very appealing to you now, and if you have talent in any of these areas, this can be a creative and fruitful time for you. However, the negative possibilities for you now are being undisciplined, slack, indefinite, and wasting time and energy.
