Solar activity reached high levels with five lower level M-class flares. An M1.5/Sf flare from near Region 3839 (S15W63, Hsx/alpha) was the largest event of the day. Regions 3842 (S16W50, Eki/beta-gamma-delta) and 3844 (S16W72, Eki/beta-gamma) continued to be the main culprits of activity producing an M1.4 at 06/1859 UTC and an M1.3 at 06/1521 UTC, which were the largest flares from these two regions in respective. AR 3842 exhibited decay in its intermediate spots, yet maintained a delta signature in its large, leading penumbra. AR 3844, now foreshortened by limb proximity, seemingly experienced decay in its intermediate spots as well. Region 3848 (N13E14, Dki/beta-gamma) remained relatively quiet while gaining additional spots. Additionally, this particular AR began to show signs of developing mixed polarity in its large penumbra late in the period. Region 3849 (S06E37, Eki/beta-gamma) was split into two regions this period, but was otherwise unremarkable. New Region 3850 (S03E33, Dai/beta-gamma), which was split from AR 3849, was numbered.
The solar kp index is active, reinforcing retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.
Solar wind parameters reflected the arrival of CME influences beginning near 06/0659 UTC. Total field abruptly increased from 8 nT to 15 nT, and reached a peak of 17 nT as the period progressed. The Bz component initially shifted northward, but did turn southward for a few excursions reaching -5 to -12 nT. As CME influences began, solar wind speeds gradually increased to a range of ~460 km/s to ~525 km/s and phi became variable.
There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 30% chance of a minor event, a 25% chance of a moderate event, and a 10% chance of a strong event.
The waxing moon is currently in Sagittarius, at 03 degrees, 25' 36", at a velocity of 12.18 degrees per day.
The Waxing Crescent moon is currently 4 days old. It is 396628.48 km from the centre of the Earth.

Moon Is In Sagittarius
Well, well, well, folks! Buckle up because the Moon has parked itself in Sagittarius today, and it's a bit like having a cosmic archer on your side. Although, given how often I misplace my glasses, I'm not sure I'd trust my aim with a celestial bow and arrow. Now, just as the moon is 379955.568628258km away (yes, I counted every kilometer), it might seem that your goals are light-years away. But remember, even the universe had to start with a big bang, so why can't your dreams? Don't get bogged down by the distance, after all, if the Mars Rover can make it to Mars, you can certainly reach the cookie jar on the top shelf. The Moon in Sagittarius is all about optimism, adventure, and pushing boundaries. It's a bit like Star Trek but without the tight uniforms or odd alien encounters. So, take a leaf out of Captain Kirk's book and boldly go where no man, woman, or astrologically guided individual has gone before. But take heed, dear reader, for the moon will be moonwalking its way into Capricorn in the next 24 hours. Now, Capricorn is a bit of a stick in the mud, the Hermione Granger of the zodiac if you will. They're all about rules, structure, and ambition, which is great if you're building an IKEA bookshelf, but not so much when you're trying to navigate the chaos of life. So, seize the day while the Sagittarian energy is still in play. Explore new ideas, take risks, and maybe, just maybe, try pineapple on your pizza. Because who knows? Tomorrow, under the watchful, practical eye of Capricorn, you might just find yourself sorting socks instead of adventuring. And let's be real, there is no planet in which that is more fun. Remember, space is vast, and life is short. So, take advantage of every cosmic push and pull to make your personal universe a place worth exploring!

Mercury Is In Libra
Beware, fellow Earthlings! Mercury is in Libra!
Alright stargazers, strap on your cosmic seatbelts and get ready for a wild ride. Mercury, our chatty neighbor, has decided to throw a party in Libra and you're all invited! This isn't just about star-crossed lovers or that cute barista who's been making eyes at you - nope, we're talking about everyone from your bossy aunt Bertha to that coworker who keeps stealing your sandwiches. It's like a high school reunion, except you actually have to talk to people.
Now, when Mercury and Libra get together, it's less 'Housewives' drama and more 'Justice League' diplomacy. Libra, in case you've forgotten, is represented by those scales you see in every courtroom drama, and Mercury is all about communication. So, imagine you're in an episode of 'Law & Order', but instead of catching bad guys, you're balancing out your relationships. Exciting? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely!
Here's the catch though - the cosmic combo of Mercury and Libra can turn us into candy-coating diplomats. Don't let your sweet tooth fool you - sugar-coating issues won't make them disappear. Avoid playing the cosmic version of "nice guy" - honesty is still the best policy. Remember, variety is the spice of life, and that includes opinions too. You can be a Jedi of justice without resorting to Jedi mind tricks.
So, in the wise words of RoboCop, "Stay out of trouble", but remember to communicate openly, honestly, and with respect. After all, Mercury may be millions of kilometers away, but its influence is as close as your next conversation.

Venus in Scorpio - Alien Remix
Attention earthlings! Your friendly neighborhood Venus has taken a detour and is currently chilling in Scorpio's backyard. We're talking about the celestial equivalent of swapping out your pumpkin spice latte for a double shot of espresso - it's gonna be intense!
Venus, our galactic social butterfly, has decided to buddy up with brooding Scorpio. This might sound like a plot from a cosmic sitcom, but trust me, it's no laughing matter. This pairing is like if Romeo and Juliet decided to go on a spelunking adventure - deep, dramatic, and likely to leave you questioning some life choices.
Now, I'm not saying you're gonna start obsessing over your crush like a teenager who's just discovered love songs, but... okay, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's time to trade in those candy crushes for some real heart palpitations. Love is gonna get real, folks, whether you're ready or not.
And remember those annoying relationship issues you've been avoiding like spoilers for the final season of Game of Thrones? Well, Venus in Scorpio is about as subtle as a fluorescent pink elephant in a tutu. It's time to shine a UV light on those shadows and deal with the gory details. Financial concerns? Power struggles? They're all coming out to party.
But hey, don't panic! It's not all doom and gloom. Sure, Venus in Scorpio can feel like you're doing emotional squats, but it's also a chance to strengthen your bonds. If you're prepared to face the music, this could be a transformative time that brings you closer to your partner. Think of it as couples therapy, but cheaper and with more stargazing.
So buckle up, space cadets! Venus in Scorpio is here to shake things up and it's going to be one hell of a cosmic ride!

Mars in Cancer: A Galactic Groovy Adventure
Gather 'round, cosmic comrades, for Mars is making a pit stop in the celestial Crab Shack of Cancer! *Cue dramatic space music* At a whopping 285,046,237.710341334km away, our fiery friend is really stretching its feelers into the watery world of Cancerian vibes. But fret not, dear stargazers, for this cosmic union is like a galactic potluck, blending the best of both worlds!
As Mars voyages through the sensitive seas of Cancer, we are graciously gifted with a cosmic combo of Martian initiative and Cancerian caretaking. You might feel like a celestial superhero, ready to preserve family values, honor the past, and use that futuristic jetpack to propel you gently into the days ahead.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Nerdy Astrologer, isn't Mars all about action, and Cancer more about chillin' in its cozy crab cave?" Well, my observant oracles, you're right! Mars may be toned down while cruising through Cancer, but it's still got those celestial get-up-and-go vibes. Channel that energy into some good ol' fashioned home improvement – just imagine, wielding your cosmic hammer and nails to create the ultimate intergalactic relaxation station!
But wait, there's more! Mars in Cancer also brings out the celestial mama bear in all of us. You may find yourself ready to defend your loved ones or fight for your domestic bliss with the ferocity of a supernova. This planetary pairing creates an intensely protective instinct that'd make even a Klingon warrior proud.
However, beware the dark side of this cosmic collaboration! Mars' journey through cautious Cancer can lead to some passive-aggressive tendencies. If your heart isn't in it, you might find yourself drifting through space without a clear course. Plus, actions taken under the influence of this celestial combo can sometimes be more reactive and oversensitive than purposeful. So, stargazers, be mindful of your cosmic compass and remember to navigate with love and intention.
As Mars prepares to blast off from Cancer into the roaring realm of Leo in the next 24 hours, take a moment to reflect on the lessons learned during this cosmic adventure. Embrace the Martian-Cancerian balance of passion and preservation, and boldly go where no astro-nerd has gone before!

Jupiter in Gemini: The Cosmic Comedy Show
Alright, star gazers, buckle up. Jupiter's pulled into Gemini's driveway and it's not just for a quick cup of sugar. It's like the universe's version of an intellectual house party! You know, the kind where you end up debating quantum physics with a philosophy major dressed like Albert Einstein at 2 AM. That's the kind of party Jupiter and Gemini throw together.
Jupiter is the Professor Dumbledore of planets, always encouraging us to expand our minds, while Gemini, our cosmic chatterbox, is the kid in the front row with their hand perpetually raised. "What's this? What does it mean? Why is it like that?" Yes, Gemini, we get it, you're curious. But this combo can leave us feeling like we just ran a mental marathon… in moon boots... uphill.
But hey, it's not all cerebral sweat and tears. Gemini's diversity adds technicolor to Jupiter’s intellectual black and white TV. Suddenly, we're not just at a crossroads, we're at the center of a cosmic spaghetti junction, with paths, shortcuts, bridges, and even a wormhole or two. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but every page leads to more options.
And let's talk about the talk. Gemini is the social butterfly of the zodiac, flitting from one conversation to another. With Jupiter in town, everyone's got a dose of the cosmic giggles. Our witty repartee will be sharper than Sagittarius’s arrows, and we’ll find ourselves with more ideas than there are stars in the sky (okay, maybe not that many, but you get the idea).
While Jupiter is playing roommate with Gemini, expect to be busier than a Mars rover. We’ll be gobbling up information like a black hole, spitting out brilliant ideas like supernovae. The challenge will be to keep all those cosmic juggling balls in the air.
So, folks, as Jupiter swings through Gemini's starry neighborhood, remember to keep your mind as open as a satellite dish and as flexible as a space-time continuum. The floodgates of possibilities are about to unhinge. So whether you're pondering life's big questions or just deciding on pizza toppings, embrace the cosmic comedy that comes with this celestial transit. After all, we could all use a good

Saturn Is In Pisces
Saturn In Pisces: E.T. Phone Home... Or Maybe Just Call Your Therapist
Alright, fellow stargazers, do you feel that? That's Saturn in Pisces and it's the perfect time to put on your space snorkel and dive deep into the nebula of your inner psyche. You know that crazy idea you've been toying with? The one about starting a unicorn grooming business or writing a memoir that details your love affair with pizza? Yeah, that one! Well, now's the time to stop daydreaming and start doing. Saturn, AKA the cosmic taskmaster, is teaming up with Pisces, the zodiac's dreamy fish, to give you a cosmic kick in the pants.
But beware, my celestial comrades, Saturn in Pisces isn't all rainbow rocket rides and interstellar ice cream. Saturn is like that nosy landlord who always seems to show up unannounced. Sure, he might catch you dancing in your underwear to '80s synth pop, but he's also there to tell you to clean up your act. So, instead of slapping a "No Alien Lifeforms Allowed" sign on your door, open it up and let Saturn in. His advice might be as welcomed as a black hole at a spaceship party, but trust me, it's worth listening to.
Now, with all this intergalactic introspection going on, it's not surprising if you're feeling a little like a sleep-deprived astronaut floating aimlessly in the void. But don't despair! This is the perfect time to channel your inner Zen master. Meditate, take a moonlit stroll, practice some deep space breathing techniques, or simply take an afternoon nap (just be sure to keep that dream journal handy!). And while you're at it, maybe hit the hay a bit early. You've got a universe inside you to explore and trust me, it's way more exciting than the latest episode of "Keeping Up with the Klingons".
So, in conclusion, embrace the lessons that Saturn in Pisces has to deliver. They may seem as foreign as a Martian language at first, but with some patience and open-mindedness, you'll soon be navigating your own personal cosmos like a seasoned space captain. And who knows, you might even decide to finally open that unicorn grooming business after all!
Uranus
Uranus is in Taurus
Uranus is retrograde at 26 Tau 44' 43", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 2814897248km away and approaching.
Uranus Is In Taurus
Uranus in Taurus: A Cosmic Ride on the Bull
Alright, cosmic voyagers, brace yourselves! Uranus has swaggered into Taurus and let me tell you, this is like inviting a quantum physicist to a medieval joust. You just know it's going to get interesting!
Taurus, a zodiac sign slower than a dial-up connection in the '90s, prefers things steady and unchanging. Like binge-watching an entire series without a single plot twist or cliffhanger. But then along comes Uranus, the celestial equivalent of a software update right in the middle of your favorite game. It's disruptive, sure, but also necessary for leveling up!
Picture this: Uranus is the Spock of our solar system—logical, unemotional, and always ready to challenge the status quo. And Taurus? It's more of a Captain Kirk—passionate, loyal, and a bit stuck in its ways. This union is bound to create some Star Trek-level drama, folks!
And where does this drama unfold? In the realm of money—Taurus' favorite playground. With Uranus in Taurus for the next seven years, we're in for some revolutionary changes. Imagine cryptocurrency becoming as commonplace as ordering pizza online, banks turning into digital dinosaurs, and the housing and stock markets doing the cha-cha on a rollercoaster. Exciting or terrifying? You decide!
On a personal level, this transit is like that one episode where the crew realizes they’re trapped inside the Holodeck. We need to break free from the clutches of materialistic Borgs—debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages—and redefine our relationship with money. Resistance is futile! Uranus is here to liberate us, and even the most stubborn among us (yes, Taurus, I'm looking at you) can't stop this cosmic transformation.
So buckle up, space cadets! This is one interstellar ride that promises to shake us out of our comfort zones and lead us towards greater stability. By the time Uranus packs up and warps out of Taurus, we might just thank it for the upgrade! Beam me up, Uranus!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is retrograde at 28 Pis 04' 22", moving backwards at 0.03 degrees per day, and is 4328880427km away and receding.
Neptune Is In Pisces
Well, gather round stargazers and let me tell you a little something about our buddy Neptune who is currently sashaying its way through Pisces. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Who cares? I mean, Neptune is like 4.3 billion kilometers away, why should I give a darn?" Well, my friend, just like how we love that Wi-Fi signal from our neighbor's router, even though it's not in our living room, celestial bodies affect us from afar too! Now, Neptune in Pisces is like having a hot cup of cosmic tea, brewed with a healthy dose of emotion, a sprinkle of spirit, and a pinch of unity. Suddenly, you see the world from a new perspective, like when you finally clean your glasses after weeks of ignoring the smudges. Petty differences? Pfft, they vanish faster than my motivation to do laundry on Sundays. This combo calls for us to dig deep and figure out what we bring to the cosmic table. Maybe you're good at making people laugh, or maybe you can cook up a storm, or perhaps you're just really good at finding the best Netflix series before anyone else. Whatever it is, we all have something to contribute. This period is also the perfect time to explore your spiritual side. No, I'm not suggesting you start levitating or talking to your houseplants (unless that's your thing, then go for it). But it could be as simple as dedicating a quiet corner of your room for meditation, or really diving into that yoga practice you've been thinking about. The energy of Neptune in Pisces nudges us to share these ideas with the world. And remember, like a reliable Wi-Fi connection, Neptune's got your back during this process. So, whether you're sharing a newfound recipe, a hilarious joke, or your top pick for a binge-watch, know that Neptune is cheering you on from a mere 4.3 billion kilometers away!
Pluto
Pluto is in Capricorn
Pluto is retrograde at 29 Cap 38' 50", moving backwards at 0 degrees per day, and is 5211760336km away and receding.
Pluto Is In Capricorn
Alright, Earthlings! Strap in, because the cosmic roller coaster is about to take a wild turn. Pluto, our favorite misfit planet (or dwarf planet, for the pedantic among us) is doing its cosmic tango in Capricorn for another day before it sashays into Aquarius. Today, we're focusing on the oh-so-serious sign of the Goat. Now, you may be thinking, "Pluto and Capricorn? That's like putting Spock at a disco party!" And you're not wrong! Pluto, the brooding loner of our solar system, and Capricorn, the ambitious, no-nonsense taskmaster, together make a power couple that doesn't have time for your nonsense. They're here to get stuff done, even if it means throwing a few metaphorical elbows. During this transit, you might find yourself caring less about others' opinions and more about achieving results. Kind of like when you're playing Monopoly and suddenly realize Grandma isn't the sweet old lady you thought she was, but a ruthless property mogul who'll bankrupt you for landing on her hotel-riddled Park Place. Pluto, in all its dark and mysterious glory, wants us to let go of things that aren't working. It's a bit like a cosmic Marie Kondo, urging us to toss out what doesn't 'spark joy'. Except, in this case, it's more about chucking out negative patterns rather than that horrid sweater Aunt Mildred knitted for you last Christmas. Remember, destruction can be creative. Just ask any toddler or Godzilla. So, there you have it. Pluto in Capricorn. It's a bit like attending an intergalactic board meeting while wearing tie-dye. It's serious, it's quirky, and it's definitely going to shake things up. So, put on your cosmic hard hat and prepare for a day of constructive destruction. And remember, no matter how far away Pluto may be (I'm talking 5,373,325,522.063078880km away), its influence is just a cosmic heartbeat away.Current Planetary Aspects

You may feel like expressing yourself today through your thoughts and words. You feel a need to be heard, that you have something of importance to say. Say what is on your mind, but give equal time to others and listen to them. You might learn something new. Your thinking today should be sharp and focused.
The Sun
Sun Square Mars
You are full of it today, high energy, force of will, and a dislike of any restraint. Slow down a little so you don't go flying off the handle. Physical, mental, and verbal confrontations are likely today, so stay in control. Don't speed today as the police may be watching you. Don't stay out in the sun too long. Your will is tested today and the universe wants to see if you can keep your head. As they say, "Don't have a cow." Ego conflicts and selfishness are today's problem areas.There is an unmistakable competitiveness and a “me-first” attitude with those who have Sun square or opposition Mars in their natal charts. The fighter persona is most apparent in youth, when the child is described as a “bundle of energy”, or it is remarked that he or she “can’t sit still”. The abundant energy generated by the hard aspects (especially the square) between the Sun and Mars is hard to direct in childhood. Later in life, ideally, those with these aspects have learned to channel some of their excess energy into productive avenues–perhaps through career, sports, or any area where competitiveness is considered an asset. Nevertheless, people with these aspects can meet up with more than their share of conflict, and they can most certainly rub people the wrong way. They are very motivated to get things done, to take action rather than simply talk about something, and to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Those who know them quite well might describe these people as hot-headed and temperamental at times. They are easily frustrated, and they’re given to impulsive actions and assertion of their wills. If the aspect is found in cardinal signs, it gives impulsiveness and a short temper. If the aspect is found in fixed signs, the natives can be very hard-headed and willful. If it’s in mutable signs, it gives a restless and frustrated impatience.Essentially, those with Sun square Mars in their charts have faced conflict and are not particularly afraid of it. They have faced having their need to assert themselves blocked. Their parents may have done as much as they could to “tame” what they felt to be excess energy or aggression. In other words, they know all about conflict and blockages, so that when they are faced with a challenge or a roadblock, they don’t run away from it or hide under the covers feeling sorry for themselves. They meet challenges head-on.Sun opposition Mars people are more confrontational and argumentative than active. In youth, they might feel that they often face anger from others. They might see the Mars energy as coming from the outside. If and when they face the fact that the aggression is actually a part of their own personalities, they are more equipped to direct the competitive energy into productive avenues.Some Famous people with Sun square or opposition Mars: Jennifer Aniston (Sun square Mars and Neptune in fixed signs), Bob Dylan, Madonna, Muhammad Ali (square), Anne Heche (opposition), Jim Morrison (opposition).Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.Sun in hard aspect to Mars: In this life you are learning to embody and express the energies of the warrior; courage, action, forcefulness, the ability to fight for what you want and need. However, these positive qualities can quickly degenerate into unnecessary and excessive aggression, discordant relationships, even violence. Your tendency to be impatient and hot headed, and to see everyone as a potential competitor or rival, may draw out the anger and combativeness in other people. Your challenge is to learn to use your overabundant energy in productive, or at least not destructive, action. — Interpretation from the Karmic Insight report.Sun square Mars: Sun/Mars aspects enhance your courage, assertiveness, leadership, independence, and love of power. You seek an exciting career that will allow expression of your natural enthusiasm, energy, entrepreneurial drive, and crusading spirit. When you stand up for your beliefs and values, you inspire others to follow your lead. You like being in charge and would probably feel stifled in a routine job or a subordinate position. You enjoy adventure and competition, and may be interested in Mars-ruled careers like the police, detective work, the military, politics, sports, debating, engineering, construction, haircutting, or any field that uses sharp instruments. If you do not learn to control your impulsivity and restlessness, you may be prone to headaches, nervousness, irritability, angry outbursts, accidents, or problems with the law. The Rambo movie character would have this aspect in his chart. — Interpretation from our Career Report.Sun square Mars: This is a highly emotional and fiery tempered child. The child will probably be very self-assertive not to mention argumentative. So a few lessons in toeing the line will be necessary. Kids with this aspect are often too quick to pick up a challenge even when none was intended. They must learn to calm down and not be quite so hasty. Training this child to take full responsibility from an early age, without attaching guilt, is by far the best approach. Sometimes these kids may not even recognize the effect their nature has on others, so they will be genuinely confused at the reactions an outburst may cause. The poor kid may stir people without even knowing it, by tone of voice, body language, or by not saying anything. But most importantly, put some effort into allowing this child to recognize the sheer potency of this powerful energy. Help him/her to utilize it thoroughly. The child must learn to bow out now and again – it is not always possible to run the show. Being the most dogmatic, vocal, and aggressive does not necessarily make for the best leader.Often there will be a quick temper that flares suddenly. The big lesson is to make this child responsible for any outbursts rather than reacting or maybe turning a blind eye for the sake of peace. There could be a good reason for such anger. Encourage a positive discussion making this a part of the training and guidance needed for a calmer, more in control, child. This aspect makes for some bad drivers. It also produces many good athletes. This is the real difference between using this energy constructively or destructively. — Interpretation for the KidZone report.Sun square Mars: There is a lack of harmony between your environment and your ambitions. What you need most is not always at hand to make the kind of progress you envision. Or, when the support is there, you can’t get the instruction or direction you require. You may have forgotten where it was you wanted to get to, sort of “all dressed up, but which way to go?” It could be historical, too, as simple as being torn between your mother and your father — a struggle between that which seeks to nurture you (and perhaps baby you) and your ambitions — a need to succeed and be all that you can be. — Interpretation from WinStar.Sun square Mars: (The Outraged) It is difficult for you to see a need for concession. You have no patience with another’s input when you are confident you are right. You may work harder than others and your ego demands you receive full credit. If denied or opposed, your fiery reactions may eclipse the rewards you have earned. By learning that compromise is the blending of positive energies, you employ the wisdom of a respected master instead of the mandates of a tyrant welcomed by none. — Interpretation from the Spirit Success report.Mercury

You may have a big mouth today and it could get you into trouble. Take time to think before you speak so that you don't end up with hoof (foot) in mouth disease. You may feel rash and headstrong today. Control your impulsiveness and your nervous energy. Slow down, take a few deep breaths, and relax. Read a book, write a poem, and realize that you don't have to verbally abuse people to get them to see things your way. Don't go looking for trouble today. Trouble will find you quick enough. Watch your offhand remarks. You may bum more people out than you think. Be careful driving or working on machinery. Don't let little irritations get to you. Be tactful.You can be quick on the trigger when it comes to verbal reactions to others, and you are not always courteous or tactful when it comes to expressing your opinions. You often take things quite personally, and your defensiveness can make it hard for others to have peaceful or productive conversations with you at times. You might often compete for the floor when it comes to expressing your ideas, thoughts, and opinions. You might often find yourself stirring up controversy with what you say, or how you say it.You are very quick with your perceptions, and you might speak quickly and move quickly as well. You are an energetic worker, and you are excellent at rallying for what you believe in.You are very witty, and often sarcastic. You are quick to offer an opinion and express your thoughts, often without much sensitivity. Some with this aspect in their charts are prone to lying. You love a good debate, but sometimes turn conversations that needn’t be stressful into arguments.Your mind is very sharp and critical, and you are insatiably curious. Your mind can be so quick that you are nervous, easily stressed, often over-stimulated, and prone to headaches. Impatience, especially while driving or operating machinery, could lead to accidents.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Mars: Squares – Bjorn Borg, Sylvia Plath, Jean Piaget, Sheena Easton, Marilyn Manson, Demi Moore, Meat Loaf, Tina Turner, Randy Travis, Oprah Winfrey; Oppositions – Dinah Shore, Bernadette Peters, Ludwig van Beethoven, Alice Cooper.Mercury

Your mental judgment is excellent today. Plans you make are well thought out, broad, and focused on seeing both the details and the larger picture.

Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mercury and Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Trines – Jennifer Aniston, Lucie Arnaz, Tom Berger, Wade Boggs, Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas, Lou Ferrigno, Sean Flannery, Marilyn Manson, Groucho Marx, Jim Morrison, Jack Nicholson, Diana Ross, Yves Saint-Laurent, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey.Venus
