Mars in Leo opposition Pluto in Aquarius 27th April 2025

Mars at 3 degrees 48 minutes Leo is opposition Pluto at 3 degrees 48 minutes Aquarius at 12.54 am GMT 1.54 am BST 27th April 2025.

A balance needs to be maintained between having immense confidence in your actions and allowing events that you have no control over, direct you away from where you intend to go. Making others angry should be avoided, because the consequences of doing so will catch you off guard and increase the chance of receiving a violent response. For personal psychological issues, there will be anger that until now has been running under the surface about damaged pride and how power was taken from you, by those who controlled you in the past. It’s time to destroy behaviours that developed due to damaging or traumatic experiences.

Mars at 0 degrees 44 minutes Leo is trine Neptune at 0 degrees 44 minutes Pisces at 10.54 pm GMT 11.54 pm BST 19th April 2025.

Yes, there is the drive to take care of yourself before you take care of others; the main motivation for this is so you are strong enough to look after those who need you the most. If you are in a weakened state you won’t be able to help anyone at all. The same goes for supporting charity; you may not mind using some of your time for good causes, but you will have the assertiveness to put your needs first. Neptune can subdue energy levels to a certain extent. However, as both Mars and Neptune are in fire signs it will be like a slow and steady flow of lava instead of sudden surges that would leave you feeling depleted.

Mars at 24 degrees 58 minutes Cancer is trine Saturn at 24 degrees 58 minutes Pisces at 1.10 am GMT 2.10 am BST 5th April 2025

Patience and emotional attachment to what you currently feel obligated to act upon are enhanced. Being invested in a particular matter that stirs up your enthusiasm should have constructive results. There will be satisfaction from what is achieved with hard work and attention to detail. Although there won’t be high peaks of energy it should be fairly consistent; but frequent intervals for rest are recommended. Think of it as more of a marathon than a sprint. Tenacity is the main driving force to get the most from this transit.

Mars in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus 5th April 2025

Mars at 24 degrees 57 minutes Cancer is sextile Uranus at 24 degrees 57 minutes Taurus at 12.05 am BST 5th April 2025.

This transit encourages us to embrace the excitement of not knowing what to do next in unexpected circumstances. There will be a strong instinct to jump out of your usual routine to try out doing something different. Emotionally and physically, you are prepared to initiate changes, even if they are sudden and take everyone, including yourself, by surprise. Opportunities may arise out of the blue that are too good to turn down or pass you by. Fortunately, the outcome should be positive and constructive.

For some people, this will be a moment when their master plan comes to fruition. Radical and innovative methods can be successfully implemented in existing structures in a steady and consistent flow. Experimentation can take place due to the knowledge that has built up over time; they will be constructive and flexible. New traditions for the future may be born and very old traditions could be altered to align with the modern era. Technology will create a way of learning and teaching subjects in a way that wasn’t possible, even within the recent past. The older generation has the potential to learn a lot from the younger generation and vice versa, due to what they can offer each other in the form of experiences that has made them who they are today.

Neptune enters Aries 30th March 2025

Neptune enters Aries at 11.59 am GMT 12.59 pm BST 30th March 2025.

When there was a reluctance to confront causes of uncertainty, there will now be the courage to face them head on. Those who like to deceive for personal gain will have a shorter fuse if challenged. A new and pioneering direction will be taken that affects how spiritual and religious beliefs are approached. More action and an impatience with either not enough or no initiative being taken to support those who are in genuine need of charitable assistance. Patience will wear thin for those who portray themselves as needing charity when that isn’t the case. Devotion to “good causes” could be driven by a self-centred motivation rather than for the “greater good”. During any tough times, immediate access to sources of escapism are sought, where frustrations and anger can be released. Creative work may become daring with a lack of attachment to the past and an enthusiasm for a new era.

Sun in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini 2nd March 2025

The Sun at 12 degrees 25 minutes Pisces is square Jupiter at 12 degrees 25 minutes Gemini at 6.20 pm GMT 2nd March 2025.

Taking on too much in too many directions may appear to be within your capability at first, but don’t fall into this trap. You will become physically and emotionally drained without fulfilling what you set out to do. Money has a tendency to flow away more easily than usual, so keep a lid on your spending habits. A lot of ideas could spring up with the intention of increasing wealth, but they won’t be as lucrative as they seem to be. Use sound judgement to avoid tricksters in this area and check all the relevant information.

Retrograde Mars in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces 9th February 2025

Retrograde Mars at 18 degrees 23 minutes Cancer is trine Saturn at 18 degrees 23 minutes Pisces at 1.17 pm GMT 9th February 2025.

If you need more time to carry out and complete tasks that you are responsible for, it will be available at the right moment. Emotional and physical strength flow nicely and are utilised in whatever requires patience and consistency to make considerable achievements. Energy can be used efficiently and it won’t be wasted on trivial matters that are ultimately not for your benefit. Anger is easier to restrain and there will be the influence of maturity and experience, to avoid confrontations or protests that won’t invite your participation or concern.

Retrograde Mars at 23 degrees 17 minutes Cancer is sextile retrograde Uranus at 23 degrees 17 minutes Taurus at 3.11 pm GMT 23rd January 2025.

There is a restlessness to deviate from routine; fortunately, impatience doesn’t raise its head to cause chaos through acting without considering the consequences. Putting yourself in a secure position will be to your advantage when the time comes to cast aside the rules that you have been living by. Planning acts of rebellion also benefits from this transit. The startling events that have taken place in the world have been tolerated so far will lead to a sudden push back against those responsible for creating them. For now, gather what is needed to fight with tenacity against those who want to restrict the freedoms that are an essential part of civility in society.

Sun conjunction Pluto in Aquarius 21st January 2025

The Sun is in conjunction with Pluto at 1 degrees 43 minutes Aquarius at 12.25 pm GMT 21st January 2025.

This transit brings important and drastic changes that once carried out can never be reversed. The rate at which it progresses will be erratic and the process will have a weird sense of logic to it. A sudden freedom from powerful constraints will happen for some, but there could also be a dark side to it where those who should be under control will be able to do as they please. On a positive note, this is the right moment for many people to break from the past to create a stronger and better future.
