Causes that tug at the heart strings will make empathetic individuals want to take action to help those who need it. It won’t be necessary to make sacrifices to those who are in need of charity, but just making an effort will be appreciated. Pouring your energy into what you dream of doing will go well, but it’s not time to put the wheels into motion yet. A rigid plan isn’t necessary but creating a strategy that can be altered in keeping with the ebb and flow of current events will be to your advantage. Now is the moment to do what feels right for you; no one else has to understand your motives, just let your intuition act as a guide to where you want to be.

Getting involved in a battle of wills right now isn’t the best way to spend your time and energy; you will become exhausted with little to show for it. This is especially the case if it’s a matter of pride. Power and authority will be challenged with unpredictable consequences. Loyalty will be tested by sudden revelations that affect how strong your loyalties are whether they lie with the right people or causes. There could be an inclination to give up due to overwhelming opposition; but there is no shame in a temporary retreat to fight again another day.

There are limitations placed on the finances of many people due to the demands of paying for essential bills first, then seeing what is left. Blowing the budget would not be a wise move at this time. This transit is a moment of growth and uncertainty but don’t rush to conclusions in how it may affect you. Take a step back to draw upon the knowledge and experience you have and that can be gained from those in a particular area of expertise in subjects where you could use good advice. What you choose to do now can have a greater effect than you anticipate it will have on your future. Don’t let unrealistic optimism and impulsiveness get the better of you.

There is a strong desire for liberation and freedom to do as you choose, but the energy to put it into action isn’t as abundant as you would like it to be. Equality in relationships is highlighted, so if there is one person who tends to dominate, they may discover they will have to take a step back to allow their partner to step up. For those who like to take charge in relationships it could be unpleasant or dent their ego. Within social interactions, people could arrive at random moments to demand your time and energy when you wish they would go elsewhere. If this applies to you the best option is to be polite, without giving them the impression that you enjoy their company when that isn’t the case at all.

Positive energy may be in abundance where you will be able to get a lot done without feeling exhausted. It’s a beneficial transit for physical activities to improve your overall wellbeing. Spending time in the gym or taking part in sporting activities will result in success where personal goals are reached. It this doesn’t apply to you the influence of this trine can still have a favourable effect in one way or another. For most people, they will find it easier to let their strongest traits take centre stage. Surgery and dental work is supported with minimal risk for problems to occur.

A spark has created the fire within to make extraordinary changes to break away from the power and control the past has on you. The freedom to develop leverage over how you want your life path to be directed, rather than let a third party to have authority over the course of your life will take. Being honest with yourself about who you are and how you want to evolve will be a personal revelation. Truths that have been buried for so long can now be uncovered. For many, this transit will be a stepping stone from one chapter to another.

Now is not the moment to start a battle. Even if you win it will be at a cost. Power struggles will be physically and emotionally exhausting. If there is a positive side to this, you will find out how strong and resilient you can be. To make this transit work for you the best option is to nurture your energy and your resources for when you really need it. There may be considerable resistance if you choose to take the initiative to make major changes by people who feel threatened in any way by what you will do. Persevere if that’s what you truly seek to achieve, but don’t expect and easy ride.

Mars at 26 degrees 10 minutes Cancer is sextile retrograde Uranus at 26 degrees 10 minutes Taurus 12.13 am GMT 1.13 am BST 25th October 2024.

This transit is productive if you want to plan a course of action to do what you haven’t attempted before. However, it’s not time yet to initiate it. Allow yourself to grow into a strong position where you can assert and defend when it’s to your advantage, in preparation for when the opportunity arises in the near future. There is still a restless urge to seek excitement, which isn’t a bad thing, but you will need to put your foot on the brakes now and then. Alterations can be made to your day to day life to prevent it from feeling stale and dull. Impatience with restrictions is present and acts as fuel to push past them.

Mars at 14 degrees 25 minutes Cancer is trine retrograde Saturn at 14 degrees 25 minutes Pisces at 4.08 am GMT 5.08 am BST 30th September 2024.

This transit is helpful for carrying out work that requires care and patience. It could be the start of a “labour of love” that you will happily provide with your time and resources. Energy should be controlled and carefully managed if you want to be productive. Tasks that have to be attempted a second time to rectify any mistakes, should be successful the second time around. Action initiated during this stage will tend to be sensible and take into account the existence of your vulnerabilities that have to be protected.

If there is a sense of self-doubt and a lack of motivation, don’t give in to it. Draw up what mental and physical energy you have; even if you’re not sure about what to do it’s better to do something than nothing. Although you may not be ready and willing to take on what life throws in your direction, there will also be restlessness and the ability to relax will be hindered. The use of deceit as a way to get out of challenging situations is ill advised. What is sent out will come back and will be twice as harsh. Confronting your fears during this transit is tough but productive in understanding the and how they weaken you.
