Sun Trine Neptune

The Sun trine Neptune puts your Essential Self & your Spiritual, Creative, Mystical Self in one of their best, most productive relationships together. This is good, because anything "productive" involving Neptune can be an uphill grind. That may still be something to consider, even here.

Sun aspects affect your sense of who you are, what you want, how effective you can be, & where you direct your energy & ambitions. Neptune energy is one of the most mysterious, abstract & possibly confusing energies in your personal array of assets. It is important that you learn to work with it, but it is also one of the most intangible influences in your character, so it can be tough to come to grips with.

Cancer

If you've never spent time with someone who has strong Cancer signatures -- strong Cancer energy -- in his character, you're in for a treat. You're also in for an education. Cancer is a Water Sign, & the contemporary world ... that makes them "different." Whether that's good or bad can depend on who you're talking to -- & what they're describing.

Water Signs live in the world of emotions, & with Cancer that fact is upfront & onstage. (With Scorpio, it tends to be hidden, & with Pisces, it's wide & deep instead of dynamic, as with Cancer.) It may sound paradoxical to say, Cancers take an indirect approach to life. Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign -- & Cardinal Signs are in-your-face pushy when it comes to promoting their agendas.

Neptune

Without a doubt, Neptune energy is some of the most baffling & difficult to handle or even describe. It accompanies experiences & situations that are just as perplexing ... & surreal. Both Neptune & Pisces, the sign it rules, are Water energies ... fluid, changeable, illusory, & highly emotional & highly intuitive.

So, when dealing with Neptune, we're deep in right brain territory -- which is very different for normal left brain rationality & logic. Immediately, that puts a lot of people, especially "scientific types" at a disadvantage, because Neptune deals with concepts and situation they may deny (or not believe) even exist.

Venus Sextile Mars

When Venus sextiles Mars, it invites new social contacts, new active projects & commitments, new sources of support & supply, & new ideas, information & perspectives into your life. Venus, with her customary charm & grace softens the edge of Mars, who can be blunt, bossy and very inconsiderate.

Venus, of course, is about money, possessions, survival resources. Also relationships, partnerships & people connections. Mars is about action & initiative. Sextiles are about information, news and data-gathering. There are two kinds of sextiles. One gathers knowledge from first hand experience & the local environment. The other works with groups & like-minded thinkers who are building for the future.

Mercury Square Mars

There's no doubt about it. Squares bring energy to a situation, and get your attention. Mercury square to Mars is no different. This combination brings an excess of action & thought. In real life, of course, this means a mind under pressure, feeling rushed, stressed & anxious. While this means you can think fast -- & act faster, it's not always a good situation.

The discomfort of chaotic thinking can make you especially irritable, short-tempered & grouchy -- along with everyone else. Even hearing that may not sit well. (So don't shoot the messenger!)

Unusual conditions require unusual solutions.

Sun Sextile Uranus

When the Sun is sextile to Uranus, it energizes your Inner Genius -- and your Inner Rebel -- who are actually part of the same Inner Self, so you are apt to meet a part of you who is innovative, progressive & highly original ... perhaps in surprising ways. Be prepared for that.

When life is normal, this energy brings a desire for new situation, new adventures, future-focused projects & "something different" to break up the day's familiar routines. You'll feel restless & bored, ready to "shake things up" & try some new situations & challenges ... just for the fun of it. Today, of course, nothing is normal, & this adds a new twist to what this energy -- & these days -- will present.

Mercury Sextile Uranus

Life can hand you tiny miracles when you really need them. Sometimes it's when you're coping with unusual & tough problems. Sometimes it's when you need to look at things differently to make any more progress. As it happens, that's often when some new & helpful partnership with Uranus will show up.

Uranus is good at working with "the unexpected" -- & delivering it, too. (If he feels like a mixed blessing when you just are not in the mood ... well, I won't argue with that.) But Life changes. New situations assemble. You have to cope with matters that are surprising & not entirely welcome. So if another challenge lands in your lap with your name stamped all over it, Uranus energy can be a life-saver. Use it.

Eclipses

Some of the drama associated with eclipse actions are fueled by the history behind what eventually happens. Some changes come to life wild & turbulent, like the shock & aftermath of an earthquake in real life. Earthquakes come because little by little there's been build-up & pressure under the surface of the earth. This pushes again strong resistance ... which can stop its progress & hold off change for a while.

But eventually something cracks, breaks ... & the result allows for a huge amount of movement, slippage ... progress, if you want to look at it like that. What needed to move forward, up or down -- or sideways -- suddenly has the room to move & freedom to do so. The blockage is dissolved / the obstacle removed -- & then there's an earthquake as the earth literally shifts into a new position, a new situation.

Lunar Eclipses

It's another of those complications that seem to haunt Astrology -- & therefore Life -- with a persistent & often unexpected presence. I'm talking about eclipses ... things that come up 4 - 6 times a year when you were expecting (or hoping for) an ordinary New Moon or Full Moon for the month.

Depending on how they line up in your horoscope & whether or not Natal placements are affected, eclipses can shatter your comfortable life rhythms ... & knock you right out of your routine rut. They can also bring events that push you way outside your comfort zone ... but usually that means realignments are long overdue. Eclipses announce, "Time's up."
