Sun in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius 15th May 2022

The Sun at 24 degrees 55 minutes Taurus is square Saturn at 24 degrees 22 minutes Aquarius at 6.50 pm GMT 7.50 pm BST 15th May 2022.

It’s possible to find yourself stuck in a rut when you least expect and a lot of effort will be needed to gain freedom from the restrictions placed upon you. Obligations and responsibilities that have to be fulfilled will feel like a burden that you can do without. This is not the most relaxing transit for those who have given in to the trappings of laziness recently. For those who don’t feel they have the time and energy to do the work they’re supposed to do could be in for a shock if they ignore it, as the consequences of not doing so could have a cost in the long-term.

Jupiter at 28 degrees 36 minutes Pisces is sextile retrograde Pluto at 28 degrees 36 minutes Capricorn at 10.10 pm GMT 11.10 pm BST 3rd May 2022.

Individuals who want to gain more power to do good may find many obstructions that would hinder this purpose won’t get in the way. A deeper meaning to life can be discovered and a wealth of resources is available if you make the effort to seek them. Those who have a belief in the greater good could be supported by those who are conventional, but have a broad and strong influence over a lot of people. People who are domineering and destructive will experience setbacks caused by those who seek justice for the vulnerable.

Venus conjunction Neptune in Pisces 27th April 2022

Venus is conjunction Neptune at 24 degrees 28 minutes Pisces at 7.12 pm GMT 8.12 pm BST 27th April 2022.

Avoiding the harshness of reality by indulging in what gives you comfort and peace is pleasant, but not so helpful if there are important responsibilities to attend to. Creativity will have little or no boundaries and inspiration is readily available. When socialising, it’s best not to believe the first impressions of new people who you meet. How they portray themselves may lean further to fantasy than to the truth. On the positive side there are stronger opportunities for those who are unattached to find a potential soul mate. On a final note, wait until another day if you want to donate to a good cause. Postpone your donation until you have a clearer picture of where your money will go and how it will be used.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune in Pisces 12th April 2022

Jupiter is conjunction Neptune at 23 degrees 59 minutes Pisces at 2.43 pm GMT 3.43 pm BST 12th April 2022.

Greater compassion and empathy for those who are struggling or suffering has no boundaries during this transit. Care must be taken to be aware of those who are willing to deceive to manipulate, or take advantage of those who are generous to people who appear to be less fortunate than them. Just because someone appears to be vulnerable or in need of charity doesn’t mean they actually deserve it. Losing touch with reality could be a problem. It’s fine to dream big, but take into account the practicalities before you do anything. Sound advice leads to sound judgement.

Mercury in Aries sextile Saturn in Aquarius 7th April 2022

Mercury at 22 degrees 37 minutes Aries is sextile Saturn at 22 degrees 37 minutes Aquarius at 3.15 am GMT 4.15 am BST 7th April 2022.

Knowledge that is potentially ground breaking or can be put to use for ultra modern purposes can be learned very quickly. Perhaps not in much detail but enough to cover what’s important right now. Speaking your mind about or to those in authority or who are considered to be traditionalists could bring forth surprising results in a good way. Those who were thought of as being struck in their conventional ways may be receptive to new and innovative ideas and methods. Those who were pioneers in the past are forthcoming in encouraging brave choices from those who want to be pioneers for the future.

Mars conjunction Saturn in Aquarius 5th April 2022

Mars in conjunction Saturn at 22 degrees 24 minutes Aquarius at 1.52 am GMT 2.52 am BST 5th April 2022.

There may be the necessity to act quickly according to unexpected twists and turns; however, there will be obstructions in the way that can only be surmounted by novel means. On the positive side, energy spent on preparation and getting organised won’t be wasted. There will be frustrations, but oddly they may be constructive. It’s one of those transits where wisdom can be gained from experience. Those in a position of authority won’t take kindly to being challenged and their response will be a rude awakening to those who clash with them.

Venus conjunction Saturn in Aquarius 28th March 2022

Venus is conjunction Saturn at 21 degrees 44 minutes Aquarius at 7.28 pm GMT 8.28 pm BST 28th March 2022.

Now is the time to figure out how to be sensible with your money without punishing yourself. The purpose of this is to be prepared for erratic changes that may affect your finances or material resources. If you can’t resist the urge to spend on items you want but don’t necessarily need, keep it to a minimum or choose the best quality possible within your budget. The reliability of relationships during unusual current circumstances gains prominence. When affection or appreciation is expressed it’s not overly emotional or sentimental but it can be surprising. Romantic relationships that are intended to be for the long-term could be initiated from a distance or despite restrictions. Alternative options to gain or maintain contact are sought that bend or work around rules that are obstructive.

Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus 22nd March 2022

Mars at 12 degrees 26 minutes Aquarius is square Uranus at 12 degrees 26 minutes Taurus at 8.44 pm GMT 22nd March 2022.

Restlessness leads to impulsive action taken out of frustration due to obstructions that get in the way of what you want to do. There is a drive to rebel against restrictions that affect the freedom that until now has always been there, but doing so won’t be a good idea as this will create a lot of instability that can shake you to the core. Obligations have to be met and no matter how much you may fight against them they will be inescapable. It doesn’t need to be all bad though, as this transit can be used to work hard at what should be reformed, and during a time of difficulty is productive in initiating a new normal.

Sun conjunction Neptune in Pisces 13th March 2022

The Sun is conjunction Neptune at 22 degrees 52 minutes Pisces at 11.44 am GMT 13th March 2022.

There may be uncertainty that tests your ability to be centred and how your life is directed. Go with the flow for now and have the confidence to let your intuition give you guidance. Some individuals are prone to being out of touch with reality about how they are portrayed. For better or worse how they see themselves isn’t necessary how others see them. Retreat for a while and seek a form of escapism for the benefit of your physical wellbeing. Spending time in your own world to build up not just your physical strength but also your mental and emotional strength should be treated as a priority right now. If you’re a creative person you may find it easier to be inspired in how you express yourself.

Freedom of access to information could be restricted, but this is not necessarily for malicious reasons. It can be for the purpose to make sure it’s accurate and to lower the risk of misinterpretation. Those in a position of authority will have to be innovative in how they communicate and in how they decide to share their knowledge to keep pace with fluctuating circumstances. What they say should be carefully considered, to avoid rebellion from those who don’t take kindly to their liberties being restrained. Detailed planning to be prepared for current events that can take unexpected twists and turns is especially important.
