Mars in Aries square retrograde Pluto in Capricorn 2nd July 2022

Mars at 27 degrees 46 minutes Aries is square retrograde Pluto at 27 degrees 46 minutes Capricorn at 2.08 am GMT 3.08 am BST 2nd July 2022.

Dramatic and destructive action taken by those who are traditionally in a position of power and control will be fought against by those who are fired up to commence battle with the old order. The former may find they are not as strong as they thought they would be in the face of those who resist their domination, so they will have to dig deep to find what resources are available to them. Generally there is a surge of energy that is difficult to direct towards a route where it can’t cause damage in one way or another. It may be necessary to relinquish control to allow a process of regeneration to take place. This can be immensely stressful but could be needed to avoid huge challenges that you would otherwise be battling for a long time. Also there is an increase of explosive anger; either from yourself or from people or during events around you. It’s definitely not the time to make enemies as they can be incredibly aggressive and possibly obsessive in getting their revenge.

Venus at 7 degrees 19 minutes Gemini is sextile Jupiter at 7 degrees 19 minutes Aries at 3.52 am GMT 4.52 am BST 29th June 2022.

Harmonious social interactions are enhanced as long as conversations are kept light. Serious or intense discussions should be reserved for another day. Take the chance to say the right thing at the right time, even if it appears to be a little bit risky. Do the best you can to see the positives in life and to count your blessings. Appreciate what you have, but don’t hold back on being open to the opportunities to go onto bigger and better things. If this involves signing contracts then luck should be on your side.

The Sun at 7 degrees 18 minutes Cancer is square Jupiter at 7 degrees 18 minutes Aries at 1.00 am GMT 2.00 am BST 29th June 2022.

Making promises that you have the best of intentions of fulfilling will cause problems when reality kicks in, then you find you’re unable to deliver. Asking for or giving advice won’t necessarily be gratefully accepted. Generous gestures that are motivated by kindness may not be welcomed by those who see it as an insult to their dignity, to accept help when it hasn’t bee requested. Pushing your luck during this transit isn’t wise; there can be pitfalls that expose your weaknesses, which you would rather keep to yourself. Beliefs can be fiercely expressed. Those who see the need to make their case in issues associated with feminine causes will fight to defend if they are confronted.

Enthusiasm and patience work well with each other during this transit. Any reluctance to progress in new directions can be put to one side. Don’t expect instant results from the effort you make right now. Think of it as sowing seeds for a crop and waiting for a harvest. If you have to manage with less than you usually have, then inventive and quick solutions will arrive to make it more bearable. Assertiveness when using discipline to maintain control in circumstances that are unusual and may not have been encountered before, can help you to go through testing times with more ease than expected.

There are a few things that you can alter, but you may be unsure about what to do and give in to procrastination. Any confusion you feel lead to anxiety, which also affects your ability to show your strengths. Personal recognition at this time is superficial. This isn’t so bad if the recognition that is received is negative, but don’t be fooled by false praise from those with ulterior motives. It’s easy to be discouraged or unsure when you would normally have faith and confidence in your abilities, but the effect of this transit will soon pass.

If you want to get your affairs in order and build up stability to alleviate any anxieties caused by unusual events that could be oppressive, this transit will ease the process. Reviewing what freedoms are available within the restrictions that have been placed upon you will give you the chance to see what you can do to adapt and play to your strengths. There is an urge to rejoin the path to attain personal accomplishments that have been put to one side due to the time and effort that is required. Although the weight of this falls only on your shoulders, what you gain is earned and belongs to you.

Confidence assists in breeding success and risk taking that results in a good outcome. A lot depends on how reliable and accurate your judgement is at the time. Try not to get carried away with what you believe can happen within a short amount of time, or what can be gained by impulsive actions. Luck may be on the side of those who are about to initiate a new enterprise or take part in speculation. Basically, there is a tone of fearlessness in expanding the range of possibilities in how your potential can be fulfilled.

Substantial achievements are ready to be made if constructive and practical plans are put in place.

Mars conjunction Neptune in Pisces 18th May 2022

Mars is conjunction Neptune at 25 degrees 0 minutes Pisces at 6.34 am GMT 7.34 am BST 18th May 2022.

Sensitivity to conflict and irritation with a lack of certainty in what is happening in current events creates a feeling that something must be done, but there is no clear plan on what that something should be. Those who are angry won’t know how to express it without being misunderstood. A fear of being treated as weak an inferior could lead to deluded behaviour by those who like to be domineering. A “dent in the armour” of powerful people may appear as a vulnerability that can’t be ignored. If action has to be taken make sure it’s based on the facts and not on rumour. Physically demanding tasks are not recommended if there is the risk of exhaustion or injury. Pain relieving medication won’t provide enough relief, especially if it’s medication that is regularly used.

The Sun at 24 degrees 56 minutes Taurus is sextile Neptune at 24 degrees 56 minutes Pisces at 7.16 pm GMT 8.16 pm BST 15th May 2022.

Allowing your intuition to influence your sense of direction may have a positive outcome, if you’re able to be patient and persistent. Go with the flow for now, even if you’re unsure what the conclusion will be. Although it’s possible to feel sensitive you won’t feel particularly vulnerable. You’re able to alternate keeping your feet on the ground when you need to and when you can allow yourself to dream and escape reality for a while. Those who have a stable character are able to assist those who are vulnerable or gullible. Practical solutions can be found to resolve impracticalities in creative and inspired ways; just have the confidence to use them.
