Astrological Transits: Outer Planets

Pluto Transits: Pain, challenges and transformations. This is a transit not for the lighthearted. With the conjunction, depending on the house transiting Pluto is in, you will experience a powerful force destabilizing your world. It’s almost as if you are standing along in an unknown area in the darkness and are trying to see which way to go. The square and opposition forced you to face challenges, even if you have been avoiding or prepping for them, they will still feel sudden and painful. This is a time for necessary growth to shape you for years to come. The transits happening in the Angular Houses serve to push us to reach a new level of consciousness. We are no longer the same after dealing with Pluto, there is no turning back. Our new persona wields the strength to face challenges in the future.

Saturn Transits: Mentally crippling, challenging but you end with a powerful tool after the transit. Self discovery and discipline are acquired. Here we are faced with where we have failed to thrive and we learn the harsh lessons after the transit. If we fail, we continue to learn until it sticks to us. This is a transit for growth, introspection and self love. The gifts that you receive will allow for you to not fall back into old patterns. Saturn conjunctions to personal planets make you work. Stopping is not an option, especially when there is a conjunction with the Sun. Venus makes you care about loyalty and self control, Moon restricts you from feeling emotions you have been trying to bury. A Saturn conjunction with Mercury makes you more inclined to think before you speak. Oppositions and squares teach you to learn about balance, self control and organization.

Neptune Transits: A literal dream state. Foggy memory, hard to stay focused and motivated. These transits are pleasant for those who want to escape the real world because they present a glamorized version of reality. The lessons here are to face the hardships, accept the pain you feel and to release thoughts from the past. Stop glamorizing the past and learn to live in the present. Face your fears and tackle challenges with a clear mind and open eyes. This is a transit where you’ll encounter charlatans and when natal Venus is aspected by transiting Neptune, we will idealize most of the people who we may be interested in becoming romantically involved with. It can become challenging when the natal Sun is conjunct, Square or Opposing Neptune because we can become more forgiving towards people who do not deserve it. Learn your limits and set boundaries during this transit. You’ll become more aware of the people around you after it’s over.

Uranus Transits: Unexpected news, relocation, new people. For those who like stability and fear change, this transit can give you a dose of anxiety and fear. This transit helps us to deal with the unexpected. We learn to cut ties, trust our decision making. Uranus alleviates the pressures felt in the House it is transiting. I personally enjoy Uranus transits because it allows you to remove any blockages in energy, paving the way for better things. When it conjuncts your Sun, you feel a burst of energy that is challenging at first because it can feel like you’re in the middle of a storm but once the clouds clear and the rain stops, you see a new and better perspective. The Moon and Venus connections promote change in relationships or overall growth. Mercury allows you to explore new ways of thinking. The Opposition and Square are not as challenging as Pluto and Saturn but if you are against change, it can feel painful. Embrace the changes that come with these Uranus transits that aspect your personal planets because you will look back and be mesmerized with who you’ve become.

Chiron Transits: Chiron is a special one. It is not an outer planet but a comet. It’s influence is very similar to an outer planet because it moves at a slower pace than personal ones. Astrologers will emphasize how Chiron also teaches lessons and allows us to find the perfect path to healing. This transit is filled with heavy energy because it digs deep into our psyche allowing for a new method of processing things we have avoided that have caused us pain in the past. This transit wants you to come face to face with whatever trauma is hidden in the House it is transiting as well as the House it is aspecting with your personal planets. You are pressured to find a form of release or therapy to handling issues. People will go to therapists, seek Yoga instructors or start to write, paint, sing as outlets to clear out their trauma. Chiron teaches us how to live with our failures, our demons and how to confront fears. It tells us what is hidden in the shadows, it shows us what we need to do and it is up to us to find good methods to clearing out trauma. This transit can allow you to become a mentor yourself because you have endured and survived. Expect a new sense of strength and power after the transit. You will feel lighter and freer.

Eros in Synastry

We enter the month of February, with lust, love and passion. The year started with powerful and forward thinking energy that will assist in elevating us both spiritually and subconsciously. Valentine’s day is approaching and Mars will enter sensual Taurus, involving Venusian themes to this tie of year. Venus will be in the sign of Capricorn; a Venus sign I find to be underrated, since Capricorn represents stability and commitment. These two planets making an aspect on Valentines Day inspires us to be more committed, to push forward for a cause and to open our hearts. With the Sun in Aquarius, we will be inspired to take a leap and play with our luck. Eros in Synastry seems appropriate to discuss for this time of year. It is desire, it is passion and love. Eros thrills, scares and creates intense bonds. There is the potential to take things to another realm when the aspects are favorable. It is a love that is not as binding or otherworldly as Valentine but can cause as much passion and desire as Venus.

Eros in Synastry but focusing on the easy aspects such as Trines, Sextiles and Conjunctions. I will make another post on oppositions and squares.

Eros/Sun – Eros feels comfortable with the energy of the Sun. They are able to express their desire because the sun sheds some light on the thoughts of Eros. Here we have an accepting and compassionate relationship. Both parties will feel loved in each other’s presence, making for soothing and loving connections as well as experiences.

Eros/Moon – There is a psychological connection here, a telepathic union as both parties bond emotionally and spiritually. The Moon is Eros’ confidant, as they grow and evolve. Trust grows with time and acceptance as well. It is possible that the Moon encourages Eros to express themselves through creative venues. This is a bond that may seem magical and unbreakable.

Eros/Mercury — When these two forces unite, they will feel a strong connection through communicating. Words take on a new meaning with this synastry aspect. The imagination expands and creative inspiration comes naturally. This is an aspect that can allow for both parties to share without holding back. Words heal, empower and intrigue.

Eros/Venus — Love incarnate here. Passionate and trusting, not clouded in dark desire but tends to promote good intentions. Both parties feel connected and it can even grant them devoted love. Eros desires Venus and Venus clings to Eros, they both need each other, want each other and whenever they connect the spark comes through.

Eros/Mars — Lust and passion for these two powerful forces. Mars pushes Eros to express what they want and need on a physical level. The relationship feels ignited when these two come together. A roller coaster of emotions, the feelings of chaos and the desires that are pushed to the surface. This is tumultuous and exciting but when it all ends it crumbles hard.

Eros/Jupiter — Jupiter understands the needs of Eros and provides a haven for them. Eros sees Jupiter as their confidant and trusts them. This is a union that motivates Eros to express themselves and show their desires. Passions might need to be controlled with this placement, since Jupiter can act like a drug for Eros.

Eros/Neptune — With this bond, Eros feels at peace when in Neptune’s presence. They might feel blinded to the truths and will persist on with their beliefs. Neptune will feel empowered by Eros, who will contribute to some aspects of delusion if both parties persist on seeing things through unrealistic lenses. There is a subtle ache with this placement that feels like a dreamlike fantasy is being lived through by both.

Eros/Pluto — Powerful and transformative as typical Pluto aspects tend to be. Eros is changed by Pluto, their old shell breaks and they take on new philosophies. Here we have both parties who hunger for each other and are not afraid to challenge the other person. Fear is not an option, instead they each promote the evolution of the self.

Eros/Saturn — Saturn teaches Eros about restriction. Eros sees Saturn as a mentor or guardian. The natives both learn to evolve from simple minded desires and they seek new ways to grow and love. This connection involves patience and respect. Both parties transform in a more powerful way than the Pluto connection because it will take many years for the bond to break. The residue follows them even after it all ends.

Eros/Uranus — It is felt with a spark. Uranus is attracted to Eros and sees them as the person that they have desired for. This is a consuming aspect for both since they will be fascinated by one another and every moment they have together serves as a new life changing experience. Eros carves their presence in the mind of Uranus, making them lust for them as time goes on.

Eros/Chiron — Eros grows and heals with Chiron and vice versa. This may feel karmic and painful but both parties appreciate the experience over time. Lessons here will be learned and carried on by both parties. The wonderful thing about this aspect, especially with the conjunction is that love is brought into the lives of both, even if it feels exhausting and draining, eventually both feel fulfilled and transformed.

Eros/Eros* — Explosive since there could be a lot in common between the two. There is a powerful level of understanding and both parties might feel like they have encountered their soulmate. This is a lovely connection, since it helps to grow the love that both share for each other. They desire to be close to each other, they want to promote the best for one another and when they are together, passion blinds them both.

Uranus: A Shift to Stability

Uranus going direct and in the sign of Aries asks for you to be more confident in acting wherever the energy is prominent in your natal chart. Break free from whatever has been holding you back; expressing those fears will not make it any better for you because it is just best to accept this powerful energy.

The following represent Uranus signs or the Houses that they are located in your natal chart.

Aries (Uranus in the First House): This is the time to liberate yourself from old patterns and ways. When the planet was retrograde, you were challenged to come to terms with the changes you needed to settle from within. Your new self is ready to shine through to the world. This is your moment now that the sign will shift to Taurus in a few months. As you prep for Uranus in a fixed sign, you will learn to value yourself and worth. Of course, make sure not to become impulsive when it comes to issues relating to your purse strings. 2019 will force you to learn what it means to value yourself and others.

Taurus (Uranus in the Twelfth House): For the last several years, the planet of Revolutions was hidden on your subconscious. You may have dreamt of your goals relating only to the wildest ideas. This might have made you scared or frightened. When the planet shifts back into Taurus, you will experience a breakdown in your world because you are stable and do not like changes. However, this is a good thing. You will learn to trust your intuitions and yourself in this next phase. This next transit will give you the confidence needed to break free from the status quo.

Gemini (Uranus in the Eleventh House): Here Uranus makes you think more and connect with like minded folks. Gemini, you are the revolutionary thinker and like to impress those around you with your wit. Before Uranus shifts to Taurus, you will understand the importance having a tightly knit group of friends around you to rely on. Later this year you might feel like you want to use what you have learned to help others and make changes. 2019 will only help to elevate you mentally and spiritually.

Cancer (Uranus in the Tenth House): The planet will have its final days pushing you and making your accolades known. Your ego will be boosted and you will start to connect with more eccentric intellectual types (that can be infuriating at first). The lessons you have learned from this transit will allow you to get out of your shell and to embrace those around you. 2019 shows how you will be more comfortable claiming the spotlight in a more humble way. Making social changes through the loving and nurturing side of Cancer.

Leo (Uranus in the Ninth House): Leo, you love making an impact and the spotlight, so these months before Uranus shifts to Taurus will prep you further with improving your social graces. The Aristocratic side of yours has excelled in this transit. Your mind is vibrant, you are able to connect with others spiritually and intellectually and now it is your turn to take on the spotlight when Uranus moves to a Fixed sign.

Virgo (Uranus in the Eighth House): There were lessons learned during this transit; old wounds were dug up from the deepest points in your mind to be confronted in a new way. This transit has allowed you to learn how to deal with challenges and how to navigate through hardships. When Uranus leaves Aries, you can utilize these tools to learn more or to teach others in methods that would be considered not practical. Virgo, you have a tendency to doubt yourself but now you feel more empowered psychologically to take on anything and anyone that gets in your way.

Libra (Uranus in the Seventh House): Dear Libra, you have weathered the storms with relationships either romantic or friendly. Looking back you will probably notice the people that have come in and left your life in a blink of an eye. Those friends who did not serve you are gone, those lovers who did not meet your needs are a memory. Reflect on how you’ve evolved through this transit and how you will continue to work on you. Uranus taught you that to thrive you needed to learn independence. The next step is to apply this for the next evolution, that will push your boundaries and contribute to your transformation.

Scorpio (Uranus in the Sixth House): Work has probably been challenging or extremely interesting for you during this long transit. These changes managed to teach you the need for connecting with those around you and how to work peacefully with the most complicated people. Diplomacy was a challenge and hopefully you mastered it. Your work ethic has changed during this transit and you have become more in tune with what your body needs. New methods of caring for yourself and new habits might have been learned. Remember to focus on yourself and stress management as Uranus shifts into your Seventh House later this year.

Sagittarius (Uranus in the Fifth House): Creative juices were possibly flowing here as you struggled to find a method to break free from the monotonous day to day practices. You pushed boundaries, you broke hearts or wore yours on a sleeve. You lived and learned but now it is time to get serious and prep for hard work. The next phase will pose challenges but this should not make the optimistic Sagittarius worry one bit. Life throws you challenges and you always manage to bounce back.

Capricorn (Uranus in the Fourth House): Anything relating to home during this transit has made you stressed or uncomfortable. You either moved out of your home, redecorated or bought your own place. Responsibilities have been challenging this transit as you have managed with issues brought by family and close friends. Things will ease up now that Aries is leaving and Taurus is entering. This is your time to breathe in 2019, so chin up.

Aquarius (Uranus in the Third House): For those interested in publishing or work in the publishing realm, expect some boosts in communication and intellectual stimulation. Your thoughts might become more grounded and not in the typical Aquarian nature that Uranus might inspire since the sign is shifting into conservative Taurus. Your intellectual pursuits will shift to practical home settings. There will be new methods to improving your day to day life and those in your family. It is possible you might take on the more paternal or maternal role at home, giving guidance to loved ones as you prepare for the changes that will transpire once Uranus changes signs.

Pisces (Uranus in the Second House): Either you learned to let go of people and things or you were careless with what you owned. Nevertheless, you learned from mistakes and you learned to value what matters in your life. The Uranus in Aries transit brought forth chaos and potential tears but you survived and now will be rewarded with appreciation and wisdom. This helps when the sign shifts in the next few months to Taurus, which will sextile your Ascendant and will give you a boost of confidence in your actions and words. There might be a concern with how the world is impacting you and you’ll be more driven to learn about societal changes. Either way, a transit through the Third shall be exhilarating.

Venus Retrograde & Harsh Aspects (Opposition and Squares)

Venus Retrograde Aspects

Venus rx square the Ascendant: Take things easy and learn how to relax. This is a time to take on a more observant and analytical approach. If you are not feeling satisfied with the self, use this moment to rekindle that romance or start a new one with you. Venus gives many gifts and if you are willing to embrace the tides of self love, you will be handsomely rewarded.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Midheaven: The spotlight might feel heavy in this transit, so make sure to think before you speak and act accordingly. Your impulsivity will be toned down if you understand what this retrograde is trying to teach you and you will learn how to master the art of being socially graceful. Your public persona will be met with some challenges but you will thrive afterwards. Don’t be afraid and stay confident in you. Patience is a much needed virtue here.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal IC: Conflicts at home can come about or just within your social circles. Do not fret, this is just a needed shake up that will strengthen your bonds to your roots. Your ideologies relating to your domicile will be changing which can cause others to question or doubt you. This is a time to get stronger and be more confident with decisions you make especially if you’re the head of household. The tensions will subside after the transit and you will be transformed.

Venus rx square/opposition natal Descendant: You will be forced to learn what it means to have balance in a relationship; be it friendship or romantic. There will be moments when you assert to others what you want and you will strive to get your way. Learn to meet people half way and make some sacrifices on occasion. This is a time to understand yourself and worth, fight any insecurities you may have in relationships and establish a new outlook with your relationships.

Venus rx square/opposition to the natal Sun: Impatience and lack of drive would summarize what this transit will bring for you. When Venus makes hard aspects to a personal planet, the effects will feel dreamlike. Try to practice being diplomatic and understanding. We know you’re awesome, so don’t throw it in people’s faces. Use this opportunity to help others that may need your help.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Moon: Your emotional response might be at full speed ahead. Take a breather from the world and find ways to recharge and energize. This can be an emotionally draining period for you but if you need a good cry, don’t be ashamed. If you cannot vocalize your feelings, write them but make sure to have safe outlets for them. Meditate, laugh and enjoy the transit as best you can because it will teach many needed lessons.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Mercury: There could be a cloudy or hazy way of thinking during this transit. Be careful with what you say in a moment of intense anger because your mouth will sting. Focus on projecting any harsh emotions into writing because it would be embraced more. If you were penning something prior to the retrograde, go back to it and finish.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Mars: Your drive might be strong now but you lack the fuel to finish it. Don’t get discouraged, keep fighting for your plans and goals if you have already set your eyes on them. Tone down on the anger and jealousy that may arise. Focus on you and not what others have. This is the time to learn what makes you incredibly awesome.

Venus rx square/opposition natal Venus: Do not think that the world is against you, it’s all going to be in your head and this transit will intensify those thoughts. Learn to relax, reach out to others or your partner but don’t feel as if you aren’t loved by those dear to you. However, if there are people that are not showing you a balanced love, release them and go forth. Venus will give you the strength and fruits after the transit.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Jupiter: You might feel like things are not going your way, so you need to reward yourself by indulging in unnecessary items. Do not spend on yourself to fill a void and do not indulge in negative things. Avoid binging on things that are harmful to you. Relax, meditate or take on a new workout regime. Do learn more and try to expand mentally. Focus on what compels you to react a certain way and work from there to cut the need to spend.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Neptune: This is a good time to process what your mind is producing and think things over and over before making any drastic decisions. Neptune wants us to escape and Venus makes things more glamorous, with this square, what you see is not what you get so take things slowly and think them through. Work your way out of the Piscean fog first and make decisions after the transit.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Saturn: Saturn always likes to make things more relaxed and in that state of relaxation, we can let the paranoid get us. The world might seem cold and unloving in this transit. Do not let it get to you, go out and socialize. You don’t feel like talking to people? Take on the hermit mode and reflect/focus on you. But if you feel like you want to go out but aren’t comfortable enough, make the effort. You’ll feel rejuvenated after.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Uranus: A good time to make drastic changes so you don’t fall into the dramatic side of the transit. Many will he intimidated by your erratic nature this transit. Your decisions will be on the verge of the extreme. Learn to take your time and pace yourself, even if things seem out of your control. Uranus demands changes but Venus wants some stability, especially when it’s in a fixed sign. Take it easy and learn how to accept and embrace stability in your life.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Pluto: Control issues come to play in this transit. You will learn to understand your jealousy and face any insecurities. Venus Retrograde will give you the guidance to conquer your fears and any self doubt you may need to face. Shatter the destructive side you may have that will lead to self sabotage and learn to trust yourself. After this transit you’ll feel more secure and confident; assuming you met the challenges during the retrograde period head on.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Chiron: Doubt when it comes to how love manifests in your life will be an obstacle you need to confront. Any Chiron contacts will make us feel weakened but it also gives us the fortitude needed to move forward. Here the native needs to find a balance, to love themselves and others in a way that does not involve them sacrificing their dignity. Use love to heal yourself first, use love to find answers needed, use love to rid yourself of any negativity so that you may blossom further after this transit.

Venus Retrograde Aspects

Venus Retrograde Aspects

Venus rx conjunct natal Ascendant: Transformative state where you will be feeling more confident and charismatic. People will catch on to this and view you in a different light as well. Your confidence is intoxicating and catchy. If you currently do not feel comfortable in your skin, this retrograde will force you to see what beauty you have kept hidden. The shadow sides will emerge and a new self will arise.

Venus rx conjunct natal Midheaven: You are in the spotlight and will be adored by almost everyone around you. Expect some form of fame, be it at work or school or even in the community. You are going to shine brightly and might even care to be in service to others. A great time to do good things for others.

Venus rx conjunct natal IC: Home will be a truly comforting experience during the retrograde. Loved ones will flock to you or you might feel compelled to make your home more beautiful. Pursuits in finding work associated with being a freelancer could cross your mind, but be careful because this could just be retrograde ideas brewing (take action after the rx is over).

Venus rx conjunct natal descendant: Partnerships are strengthened and whatever you do not see working out will be cut out of your life. Overall, a beautiful romantic period and if you are single, this is a good time to reconnect with friends. Your aura is illuminating and you easily brighten up people’s lives; just make sure not to exhaust them with your personal problems.

Venus rx conjunct the natal Sun: You will blend with the light and power of the sun, forming a dynamic burst that might blind those nearby. If the Sun is close to the Midheaven, you might even attract some fame and luck during this transit. Either way, you will be fortunate during this transit. The hidden side of Venus will bring out those parts you’ve tried to hide for some time and with the power of the Sun right by her side, it will illuminate you and give you power.

Venus rx conjunct natal Mercury: Words will be in your arsenal, providing you with a tongue that is sweeter than honey. You will soothe pains and heal hearts. This is the time to pen down those romantic thoughts clouding your judgment. There is a power in words that not many understand but you will see just how useful this is when you find yourself in a bind. Venus in Libra is the diplomat, Venus in Scorpio the detective; enjoy!

Venus rx conjunct natal Mars: Your aura will bleed with a potent dynamism that only a Plutonian conjunction can rival. Here you will easily draw in people, even casting a spell with your inner mystical qualities. Seduction will be a game but you have to make sure not to come out burned once the retrograde period ends.

Venus rx conjunct natal Venus: Beauty enhancement here through your own confidence. You will become enamored with yourself during your venus return. Everything you do now will make you more desirable to the public, even if you don’t see it. Supernatural comes to mind when you enter this era, have fun and bask in the glory.

Venus rx conjunct natal Neptune: This is a fairy tale conjunction for the native. Neptune mysteries and Venus beautifies. Much like the Venus and Venus conjunction, here people will be enamored but with a dream like quality. Your imagination will be vibrant, your energy will be envious and you might even garner admiration from the public.

Venus rx conjunct natal Saturn: Patience is a virtue here and if you are in a relation, you might feel more committed towards your partner. For those who are single, there might be a desire to practice control. For this transit you will be resilient and reserved. A practical way of handling things will emerge, you might not splurge on things anymore and will learn as well as mature in many areas of your life. The lessons you have learned from Saturn will grant you Venusian gifts.

Venus rx conjunct natal Uranus: Your sense of style and beauty might change. A drastic look could be in the works and it will catch the attention of many. Philosophies will change and transform, you will want to set new goals and paths for your next stage. This is the inspiration needed to craft a new path, change the order or status quo. Your words will be motivating and your charm will captivate many.

Venus rx conjunct natal Pluto: This is the period for a brief introspective moment that might change your outlook on things for the future. This retrograde period will force you to fight how you view yourself and it will accompany a moment of forgiveness. A metamorphosis is in the horizon, you will not be the same and others will notice. A power brews within you and it will be unleashed.

Venus rx conjunct natal Chiron: There will be healing and nurturing in this transit. Old wounds will emerge but you will have the fortitude to handle what life has planned for you. This is a moment of forgiveness and letting go, accepting and making amends. Chiron wants to be accepted and Venus will help him feel loved. Embrace this period of harmony and peace, you will have periods of enlightenment and goodwill.

Juno: Commitment Asteroid

Juno in Synastry has been another point of fascination for me since I’m diving into the Synastry realm. Juno was the wife of Jupiter. Juno represents how we are in committed relationships, not necessarily marriage but just commitment in general. You can be committed without taking the next steps. Venus is how we are when we are courting or being courted. Juno is the effort we are willing to put into a relationship, what pushes us and what keeps us steady on that ship. It allows us to define what we want in a partner and how they can help us grow. Many astrologers put Juno on a pedestal in Synastry because how your Juno is aspected by your partner will influence the relationship. Personally, I respect Juno but I do not put too much weight on the asteroid but it truly does feel the cherry on top when all other aspects are in sync. I’ve been analyzing synastry charts for almost two years now and there are other stabilizing and powerful forces that matter. Having Juno trine or conjunct your partner’s Juno will be sweet, but it does not mean this will be lasting. The entire chart matters and you can’t just cherry pick an asteroid or your favorite planet. Those harsh aspects or no aspects can make or break the relationship just like a planet falling into a House can have someone run away or feel suffocated.

The following shows Juno in positive aspects (generally trines and sextiles, on rare occasions the conjunction)

Juno/Sun – Juno sees the Sun as someone who will understand them and has the same goals. This is a dynamic aspect and serves to lift one another’s spirits. Juno feels a mood boost from the Sun and a trusting affectionate love emerges betwixt them.

Juno/Moon – My favorite placement. Juno understands the Moon on a psychic level. This can make the relationship flow seamlessly and any disagreements can be smoothed over since Juno will cater to the Moon. Harmony and balance with this placement can be achieved (weird, for a moon placement, huh?)

Juno/Mercury – Not a powerful Synastry connection since the asteroid of commitment is entangled with Mercury. However, in order for any relationship to thrive, you need a good Mercury aspect, and this is wonderful. You feel comfortable enough as Juno to express your thoughts and ideas to Mercury. The Planet person will always be receptive and you both can bounce off ideas. Mercury moves fast, and Juno likes going at a slower pace.

Juno/Venus – A quick connection because Juno is enamored with Venus’ physical beauty. Venus represents their ideal, what they have been seeking. This can be like a fairy tale romance, both parties feel as if they have found “the one.” Very much like the Moon, there is harmony here and mutual understanding. It makes it easier for both parties to commit.

Juno/Mars – Both parties will push each other to pursue their dreams. Nothing will ever stop them, especially after they have expressed that they are devoted to one another. Sex will be transformative here. Never a dull moment after you have both committed to each other. It will function very much like Pluto but with the physical transformations.

Juno/Jupiter – Ideally, this can be considered a soulmate aspect or seeing your partner as “the one.” You both share similar philosophies and beliefs. There is a psychic understanding between you both since you know what makes you comfortable. Learn to trust your partner and embrace the expanding love and trust between you two. This is great for people to express and have mutual philosophies.

Juno/Neptune – Juno has a tendency to forgive or ignore Neptune’s flaws. They will never see their partner for what they truly are or are willing to cover up their tracks. On another level, this can be two people united by a common philosophy, of a more spiritual nature, not like Jupiter’s version. This is the transcending and soul searching one between two people off to a pilgrimage ready to reach a higher power.

Juno/Uranus – A quick and magnetic attraction that can easily come and go as it pleases. This allows for the relationship to maintain both parties interested enough (if all other aspects allow). Uranus does not like the idea of commitment, but he may be fascinated by Juno. She offers something he never knew he may have needed.

Juno/Saturn – I’ve seen this in charts that make no sense as to how people are even linked. The conjunction can force people to feel connected to one person, usually Saturn will move Heaven and Hell to be with Juno. Usually, it shows one person is willing to commit to their partner. Reciprocation in matters of the heart would need to be analyzed in the Juno person’s chart. But generally, this aspect can help form some glue that keeps both parties linked, even when they are no longer together.

Juno/Pluto – This relationship will be consuming and darker. It will uncover deep thoughts lingering in Juno’s psyche. Pluto will empower Juno to take the necessary steps needed to move forward. This is transformative, like most Pluto aspects. It can feel thrilling, exciting but there is a sense of needed caution from Juno. Pluto will guide Juno to the underworld, allowing her to face demons and emerge a Queen.

Embracing the Change

There has been a lot of astrological activity this year, but we are close to half way over it (time flies when you’re being tested having fun!). This made me reflect on everything that has happened and how this year’s theme seems to be of the Transformative and Regenerative type. If 2016 hurt, then 2017 was probably harder. Now with 2018, fighting can seem easier because we are used to it. We have learned what it feels like to rise up when the odds are against us (even if you do not feel it). We have all made it this far, so we need to congratulate ourselves even if Saturn in Capricorn is teaching us more lessons because Saturn is comfortably sitting in his home sign. Pluto and Saturn have joined forces in Capricorn to force us to learn and renew. Previous years have allowed us to gradually progress and understand but now it feels like everything is full speed ahead. Now, Uranus is going to enter an Earth sign and Taurus is at its detriment there since it enjoys stability and comfort while Uranus likes to stir up and cause some chaos.

We tend to forget that change is good and transformations are needed. Change allows us to purge those things in our lives that no longer serve us, this includes people and toxic relationships. Transformations allow us to become better versions of ourselves, especially as we get older. The selfishness we may have experienced in our earlier years will begin to slowly fade (assuming the person is doing some introspection). As we mature, we should strive to help and become greater (better) people to help those around us and to bring more positivity into our lives.

I am reading some gloomy articles about Uranus, but for once, I’m excited to see what this will bring. This has been an interesting year and I refuse to let the negatives consume me. Looking forward to this interesting phase.
