Slow and determined effort

Before 04/19/2024 to May 18 | Exact: Apr 23, 2024

Now is not the time to allow yourself to be swept off your feet by someone new and special; instead, it's the perfect time to get to know someone slowly, to take the milestones of a budding relationship one at a time instead of rushing them. If you can do things this way -- with slow and determined effort -- you'll find great results down the line. A relationship that starts off slowly during this ten-month transit could really go deep and become something important to both of you. Of course, taking things slowly with a new date may be the only way you can possibly do it, because your work may pick up at this time, demanding a lot more of your time and attention than usual. But that's a good thing, and it's actually nice sometimes to have a barrier between you and what's possible in love. After all, if it's meant to last, it will -- even if it proceeds slowly in the beginning. Finding a lover who can respect your boundaries, including giving you plenty of time and space in which to do your work, is really important. This should be a good period, one in which you'll take significant steps toward the future you've been dreaming of.

Connecting soul to soul

Before 04/19/2024 to May 18 | Exact: May 1, 2024

You find the love you've been looking for all along, because this two-year transit marks the culmination of your highest ideals in love with your most creative approach to connecting with another soul, and with the warmest, kindest, most understanding side of your personality. You'll meet someone special and feel utterly overwhelmed by the connection you'll make -- but there will still be room for fun, for playfulness in your affair. You'll understand your potential sweetie down to their toes, and you'll make a deep and satisfying bond because you're more selfless now than ever. You're in it for the experience of soul-to-soul contact, not for anything selfish or purely pleasure-driven. But pleasure will definitely be yours; you'll be amazed by the feelings elicited by romance during this time. If other factors in your relationship with this special person support a long-term bond, this period could also mark an important commitment. Just one word of caution: Make sure this person is really as special as you think they are. If your close friends and family have reservations about the relationship, it might be wise to wait before committing.

Venus sextile Jupiter

Attracted to people with values

From Apr 19 to Apr 22 | Exact: Apr 22, 2024

That special someone who has caught your eye will bring out your best side during this transit, because you'll be filled with such good feelings and optimism for your romantic future. You'll be warm and loving if you make contact or go out on a date, and you'll make a potential sweetie feel just wonderful. You're attractive and upbeat at this time; your soul feels infused with positive energy, which makes it a wonderful time to go out with someone special. In fact, any relationship begun during this transit has a good chance of lasting, because it's such an auspicious time for love. If you do start an affair now, it will help you grow as a person and as a lover. Anyone you get involved with now is good for you on some level. You're open to whatever they have to teach you, and you'll soak up their good influence like a flower soaks up the sun. If you are attracted to someone special now, you can feel reasonably certain that they're worth your time. You're drawn to people with values -- people who live according to strong moral codes, people who command your respect.

Venus sextile Saturn

Setting realistic limits and goals

From Apr 25 to Apr 28 | Exact: Apr 27, 2024

You don't want a simple, lightweight flirtation; you want a real relationship, and this transit offers you a chance to take a step closer to that ideal. You're aware of your own needs in a love affair and you're willing to try to meet the needs of your potential sweetie. If there's someone special that you've been getting to know, this is a good time to talk with them about the realistic expectations that each of you has for the relationship. Either you'll find that you're not that compatible and you'll call an amicable end to the affair, or you'll decide that you can each meet the other's needs as they have been laid out, and you'll move to the next level in your relationship. You'll appeal during this time to people who are looking for stability in their love lives, because you're putting out such an air of groundedness and practicality. It's unlikely that you'll be swept off your feet during this period, or that you'll do the sweeping, but that's okay. Some even more important work could be done during this time that will benefit you for a long time, if you focus on what you can realistically give a lover and what you can expect to receive in turn.

Venus sextile Mercury

A rosy view of life

From Apr 26 to Apr 29

Are you wearing rose-colored glasses with blurry lenses? Because your daily surroundings will just seem that much sweeter and shinier during this two-week transit! Your mood is high, as is your color. You'll attract admirers like bees to honey, because your inner energy and affection will come out and make you look great because you feel even better. You see the good in everyone, which makes this a great time to go out on a date. You'll put even the shyest person at ease and the conversation will flow. While this is a very good time to start a new romance that will be very significant to both of you, it's also a great time to find a new friend. If you go out with someone now and that spark just isn't there, that's okay -- you'll still have a good time together, and there will be no hard feelings between you if you decide to say goodbye at the end of the night. And who knows? Maybe you'll make a friend with potential. If there's someone you've already been getting to know, this is the perfect time to let them know how you feel about them and step the flirtation up to the next level. You'll put things to them in a romantic and appealing way that they won't be able to turn down.

Mars sextile Venus

Making a physical connection

From Apr 28 to May 3

You're in the mood to get it on in a physical way with that special someone, and this three-week transit could bring you the opportunity to do just that! If there's someone special that you've been getting to know, this is a great time to move things to the next level between you -- if they're into it, of course. Chances are good that they will be, because you're putting out a very appealing and sexy vibe into the world. Your erotic energies are humming, right in tune; you want to connect with someone at that elemental level. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to go make love to someone now; after all, you might not even know your potential honey very well at all yet. You can still express your desire to connect on a physical level by going out dancing, or even just holding hands. It might not seem like much, but a lot of energy can zing back and forth between two people when their fingers and palms are touching! After all, the hands have one of the highest concentrations of nerve-endings in the human body. So whatever level of physical interaction is appropriate between you and that special someone, make it happen.

Mercury sextile Jupiter

Comfortable in your skin

From May 1 to May 7 | Exact: May 7, 2024

This 10-day transit offers you a wonderful opportunity to reach out into the world and expand your mind. You're attracted to unusual types who don't fit your normal taste in dates, but that follows with the type of energy this period offers. You've got a taste for the unique at this time. You're interested in anyone who can open you up to something new. If you go out on a date, you won't waste time flirting at a surface level. You might well be lighthearted, but you'll want to dig deep into your potential sweetie's mind and perceptions. You two could end up staying up half the night discussing your philosophies of life or your dreams and hopes for the future. You'll probably make them laugh more than once, too, because you're in a charming, witty mood. You're also very comfortable in your own skin during this period, so you're almost certain to make a good impression. You're just fully and completely yourself, at your optimistic and hopeful best. You're feeling confident about the future and ready to connect. You're talkative, but also a good listener; curious, but also willing to be open about who you are.

Mars trine Neptune

Meeting your potential sweetie's needs

From May 6 to May 14 | Exact: May 12, 2024

You'll have a calm, sweet few weeks with this transit. You might not feel like doing much, and that's okay. You don't have to be active to have a good time; you'll be perfectly satisfied with some good food, good company, maybe a good movie or two and some good naps! That's just the kind of mood you're in -- watching romantic movies on TV and falling asleep during the credits. If you have a special someone to join you, then so much the better. You're intuitive now, and you'll be able to tune right in to a potential sweetie. You're not overly concerned with yourself, your own ego or your own needs and desires at this time, so you'll spend more time listening to that special someone than talking about yourself. And that's fine too. The only warning for this transit is, try not to get on some kind of ego trip where you start to think of yourself as just oh-so-selfless, basically martyring yourself because of a momentary lack of ego! Remember, this period will pass soon and then you'll be a big needy mess again, just like the rest of the world. So use this period to have a nice time with someone special, and don't trip out on yourself.

Mercury sextile Saturn

The heart of the matter

From May 10 to May 14 | Exact: May 14, 2024

You've got discerning tastes during this transit, and that's a positive thing. You won't want to go out with just anyone; if you've got your eye on someone special, it's likely that they're actually worth getting to know, because your instincts are spot-on now. Sure, you might come across as a bit methodical (read: dull) to a potential lover. But it's just that you're serious about finding the person that's right for you, and you don't want to waste time on ridiculous small talk or chitchat when you could be getting to the heart of the matter. This sober energy might encourage you to plan out just how you'll meet someone special and how your relationship is going to go, and you're so patient and determined, you might actually make it happen! You've got old, failed relationships and past mistakes in mind in a constructive way at this time. You've learned from your mistakes and you're determined not to repeat them, and this transit offers you a wonderful opportunity to break out of old, bad habits in relating to people you're attracted to. Feel free to ask serious questions when you're out on a date or talking with your potential sweetie. You're in a mood to get the answers you seek.

Mercury sextile Mercury

On the same wavelength

From May 12 to May 15

You could find someone during this 10 day transit with whom you really match up well on an intellectual level. Whether you'll make a romantic connection remains to be seen; this transit is all about a meeting of the minds, and easing communication and connection between you and someone special. It's an especially good time to tell someone you like them, or just to talk about what you're looking for in love and see if it goes with the hopes and desires of that special someone you've got your eye on. Chances are good that you'll complement each other well on a mental level, but even if you don't, you'll be okay with that. You're feeling very levelheaded and centered during this period, and you're reading all the right signals. If you're attracted to someone who turns out not to be The One, you'll be fine and you know it. This is all about reaching out to people and making a connection, so you won't waste time when the connection just isn't there. But odds are, it will be. You'll discuss the weighty subjects with your potential sweetie, including past relationships, your families and so on, and you'll both feel closer, with this great foundation for a romance in place.

Jupiter trine Venus

Do something special for yourself

From May 13 to May 18

During the four or so months of this transit, you should do something extra special for yourself, such as taking a vacation or engaging in your favorite hobby. No matter what you end up doing, you'll have a lot of fun; you're in the mood to be social, and you won't want to spend much time at home alone. Instead, you should get out there to mix and mingle. Get together with old friends, or better yet, make contact with someone new and intriguing -- but if you go out on a date, take care not to overdo it! It's easy to drink or eat too much during a transit like this one, because you're so in the mood to indulge. As long as you don't push it too far, you should just have a great time. Flirtations are highlighted now, so you won't necessarily start something new that's going to turn into the romance of the ages; instead, you might just have a great time chatting up a cutie or going on a handful of dates with someone fun. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. When the right person comes along at the right time, you'll both know it. In the meantime, you'll have a really good time playing the field.

Mars sextile Sun

Strong and healthy

From May 14 to May 18 | Exact: May 15, 2024

Your confidence is on high, you're feeling strong and healthy, and you want to get out there and mingle, or more. So get out there! These three weeks are the perfect time not just to make contact with that special someone, but get out into the world with them and get to know them through activity instead of just conversation and flirtation. You're likely to have some good talks, though, because your mind is active and humming, and you're not one during this time to back down from your beliefs and convictions. But you won't pick fights; instead, you've still got your tact intact. You're able now to let that hottie be who they are, and you can be who you are, and your great attitude about all your similarities and differences will help both of you delight in your interactions. You could get into some spirited debates -- or you might not want to waste time talking, and instead you'll race Go-Karts or play Frisbee in the park or go out dancing, anything else that's fun and that lets you interact on a physical level as well as a mental one. You're likely to be very sexually attracted and attractive at this time, which is a fun boost for any new bond.

Sun trine Venus

A bounce in your step

From May 14 to May 18 | Exact: May 18, 2024

Your attractions right now are based on appearances, and that's not a bad thing. Despite our common ideas about vanity -- that it's a bad quality, one to be avoided -- there's a lot to be said for physical beauty, and usually, that's the first thing about another person that catches our eye! So why not make contact with that hottie? This is the perfect time to do it. Not only are you tuned in to their physical beauty, you're also looking your best. You feel good inside, and it's coming out in a healthy glow to your skin and a bounce in your step, one that everyone around you can't help but notice. You're feeling generous, so this is a great time to treat someone special to, well, something special! Flowers, gifts, chocolates, even a foot massage -- you want to spoil your honey, and be spoiled in return. If you make a first contact with someone during this transit, they'll be drawn in by your natural high energy and sensual appeal, and they'll want to know more about this person with such presence. You're very much in the mood for intimacy with another human being, so you should reach out to someone. You'll have a great time being romantic and affectionate together.

Uranus conjunct Mars

Pushing for something different

Before 04/19/2024 to Apr 23

Your energies are running high during this one-year transit, and you could have a very interesting time of it when it comes to love. You're restless in the extreme, which may mean you'll buck commitment to one special person in favor of going out with all different types of people, to scratch that itch for freedom and excitement. Or, if you do commit to one special someone, your relationship will be marked by excitement, both good and bad. You're especially testy now, and you might start arguments just for the sake of stirring things up between you and your sweetie. And as soon as the relationship starts to feel routine, watch out! You'll do whatever it takes to shake it up again, including breaking up at a moment's notice. Of course, being much more passive and patient would be a good thing; but such advice is probably lost on you. You're likely to do the very thing that you shouldn't, like making a snap decision in love; whether it's to get involved fast or break up even faster, it's probably not founded on good reasoning. Any words of caution are probably wasted on you, though; you're following your instincts now, doing what feels right in the moment. Good luck!

Jupiter conjunct Mars

Activity is the name of the game

Before 04/19/2024 to Apr 20

Your energy is high, you're feeling strong and healthy, and you should definitely get out into the world with someone special. Since getting physical is one of the best ways to use your energy during this four-month transit, ask that hottie to play Frisbee with you, or take a yoga class, or play on your volleyball team. Working up a sweat together will put you both in mind of another way to get heated, which is a very sexy state of mind indeed -- pre-satisfaction, when you get to fantasize about it all you want. Ah, wonderful romance! Even if you're not the sporty type, you can still take advantage of the great energy of this transit by simply being proactive about your love life. Join an exercise class to make you feel more confident about your looks and your physical appeal, and then make contact with that special someone you've got your eye on. Any type of action should bring great results for you now; you're able to put a real push on things. And since this transit comes around less than once a decade, you should make the most of it. It marks the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle, so start it off right by getting active and getting to know someone new.

Pluto conjunct Venus

Powerfully attracted

Before 04/19/2024 to May 18

Don't expect your relationships to be simple flirtations during this period, because you're not interested in anything less than a deep, intense, full-blown romantic and sexual interaction. You'll be drawn to people who are compelling to you; you might fall in love or even become obsessed with a lover during this two-to-three-year transit. Obsession, in fact, is something to watch out for during this time, because you're much more likely than usual to fall into love affairs that involve passion that's actually too intense. You'll associate power with love and sex, and you'll try to dominate that special someone -- and that can't last for long. You're looking for a love that will change your life, and that could happen; but it's also true that you're operating from some deep impulses that are difficult to understand. Your close friends might not be able to understand why you'll go for certain people -- and you might not be able to explain it to them! You're operating on gut instinct now, which can really mean old relationship patterns from your past. Instead of regressing to a past love, make sure that you move forward in your love life. You have the power now to do it.

Sun conjunct Mars

Brimming with confidence

From Apr 30 to May 7 | Exact: May 5, 2024

You'll feel aggressive and assertive during this period, which is a good thing when it comes to making contact with a potential date; you'll feel like you can do no wrong, and your confidence is up. But don't let yourself go overboard. If you want to make a good impression on your future sweetie, you'd best not come on too strong. Confidence is attractive, but overconfidence is a turnoff. So some prudence will be needed during this time, because you could easily convince yourself that you're the lover of the ages and the object of your desires should bow at your feet! On the other hand, if you're normally really shy when it comes to dating, you should take advantage of this assertive period, because it only comes around once a year and it lasts two weeks or less. So ask that person out, or send them an email. Your personality will come out loud and clear, so you'll definitely make an impression -- and hey, if you end up turning them off by being so strongly yourself, that's probably for the best. It just shows that they're not your type anyway!

Venus conjunct Mars

Forward, but still sensitive

From May 7 to May 13 | Exact: May 12, 2024

You're assertive and forward during this transit, willing to go after the object of your desires with a single-minded determination. But the good news about the energy influencing you during this time is that it still allows you to read the signals that special someone sends your way, and respond to their needs. You're passionate and turned on, in all applicable ways, but you probably won't overstep your bounds with your potential sweetie. You feel attractive now, and that's part of the boost in your energy; you just feel able and eager to reach out to people and make great things happen. No one special in your life? You can still have a good time at a party or club, flirting with all the good-looking people that surround you. But chances are good that there's one person who stands out above the rest, one person that you're especially interested in during this time. You'll set your sights on them and you'll pursue them romantically with the best weapons of all -- warmth, generosity, passion and affection. Who can resist a combination like that? Not your future honey, that's for sure!

Neptune square Saturn

Wanting to drop out

Before 04/19/2024 to May 18

You might decide at some time or other during the course of this two-year transit that the dating game just isn't for you, and it's time to drop out. Setbacks in your love life, such as relationships continually failing to live up to your ideals of the perfect love, will make you feel unusually pessimistic about love in general, as if you just don't even care enough to put in the effort anymore. It would be a real shame to give up on your romantic ideals; why not just adjust them a bit to reflect reality a bit better? Of course, that may be more easily said than done. Your vision of romance is clearer to you now than reality is, and aligning the two could be difficult. Anxieties will set in; old, latent insecurities about dating could suddenly loom large again, making you feel like you can't even choose what to wear on a date, much less leave the house and go be charming and flirtatious! If you do go out with someone at this time, make sure they're good to you. People who undermine your sense of yourself will really make a dent in your self-confidence, which you can't afford at this time. You're vulnerable to domineering types who will try to walk all over you.

Uranus square Jupiter

A strangely interesting period

Before 04/19/2024 to May 18

You'll probably go out with lots of different people during this one-year transit, as its erratic energy doesn't lend itself well to commitment and stability. For one thing, you'll keep running into types that make you nervous with their opportunistic personalities. You might go out on a date and be in self-protective mode the entire time, because you'll feel like your date is constantly on the make. You'll also attract excessive types at this time. What's the deal? Is it them, or is it you? Something's going on to make your romantic liaisons keep taking on this strange, nerve-racking tone. On the other hand, this will be a strangely interesting period as well; you'll come into contact with all different kinds of people, and even if the romantic connection doesn't happen, you might make some new friends. Simultaneously, however, you could become distanced from some old ones. Well, no one ever said this transit was about balance; in fact, its energy is about just the opposite of that. Chaotic, confusing situations will become the norm; if you went out on a date with someone normal and modest, you might not know what to do with them!

Pluto square Uranus

Constructive change

Before 04/19/2024 to May 18

Your independence will become an issue for you during this two-to-three-year transit. You're still seeking love and commitment, but you might feel restless whenever you get into a new relationship or even just start getting to know someone new. At a deep level, your need for independence is at war with your need to connect, and you won't know which impulse to follow. Changes in your love life could occur now, unsettling anything you've come to take for granted about dating or relationships. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but it certainly can feel disruptive. Just don't let the general winds of change that are swirling in the world around you convince you to make too many dramatic changes in your own life. It's common under the current influence to be tempted to throw the baby out with the bath water -- to make too many changes, such as ending a perfectly good flirtation, instead of just changing those factors in your life that are truly calling for it. Change for its own sake isn't useful or constructive. Change for the sake of growth, of moving forward in life, is a great idea. Just make sure that's your motivation before doing anything drastic!

Jupiter square Jupiter

An overblown sense of proportion

Before 04/19/2024 to May 10 | Exact: Apr 19, 2024

While time and other resources -- like money -- could be a problem during this four-month transit, confidence should not. What does that mean for your love life? It means you should dream up a list of fun, quick and free or at least inexpensive dates, because you've got the confidence it takes to reach out to that special someone, but not a whole lot of time or money to lavish on them! Meeting at an art gallery opening would be a great way to get to know someone new in a fun venue; hey, you can even get a free glass of wine to enjoy with your new potential sweetie. But if you have to dash out to go meet your next twenty-minute date, be discreet about it. You're overconfident now, and you might step on someone's toes without meaning to. Better yet, don't let your ego get the better of you. Just date one person at a time, and if you have to curtail expenses, so be it. In fact, taking a little break from the dating game might be a very good idea at this time. You need to figure out what you're really looking for in love, as your idea of romance and attraction could get serious out of whack at this time.

Sun square Venus

The pursuit of pleasure

Before 04/19/2024 to Apr 19

You're looking for romance and connection at this time, and you might go a little further in your search than is strictly wise. Under the current influence, you could have a little too much fun; you're in no mood to hold yourself back from pleasure, and you'll have no problem putting off your work -- even important, pressing tasks -- in favor of having a good time. You just want to be around people, and the cuter and more fun they are, the better! For that reason, you might start a new relationship during this period. If so, it'll be a good time all around; you're not interested in anything but getting along and enjoying yourself. You might spend a little too much money when you're out with that hottie, or drink or eat too much and then feel the effects the next day. But in general, the negative effects of this influence won't be strong. Just don't take on any new, big projects at work, because for the week of this transit, your progress will be slow indeed! Your mind is focused on togetherness, fun, connection and attraction, and as long as your schedule and your bank account can accommodate that, you'll probably have a good time.

Mars square Saturn

Your confidence is missing

From Apr 22 to Apr 30 | Exact: Apr 28, 2024

If you try to reach out to someone special during this three-week transit, you might not be as successful as you'd hope. You could feel inadequate in some way, vulnerable and insecure about your ability to find the love you're looking for. That sense of inadequacy will come out on a subtle but important level to whoever you pursue romantically; like a dog sensing fear, that potential sweetie will sense your inner frustration and they'll instinctively respond in a way that will make you feel even more frustrated. Part of the problem is that you're impatient at this time; you really want to make something happen, and you're even willing to push boundaries just to force some movement. But that's not a good way to get a relationship started; the kind of person that would attract is probably not someone you'd actually want to be involved with long-term. Another part of the problem is that, on a deep level within yourself, you believe during this period that if you reach out to someone special, you'll fail. Sadly, believing in your own failure is one of the surest ways to fail. Wait a few weeks for this energy to pass, and your confidence will return.

Venus opposite Uranus

A lack of balance

From Apr 22 to Apr 28 | Exact: Apr 27, 2024

The energy of this transit could make itself known in a variety of ways and venues, but however it comes out, it's all about changing the normal, usual course of your day. You might be attracted to someone really unusual during this time, someone who wouldn't normally catch your eye -- or who would usually actually turn you off. You might feel easily upset during this period, ready to react against even imagined slights; and you might use these made-up tensions as an excuse to break off contact with someone you've been getting to know. Or, you might just do something new and different, like calling in sick at work and going to a movie. You're restless, and your emotions are also changeable during this period. You might say things you'll later regret or make impulsive decisions that will make you wonder later what in the world you were thinking. You might have a hard time focusing on just one potential romantic partner, too. There could be several people who catch your eye, each for a different reason, and you'll want it all! Go ahead and pursue whomever catches your eye; just don't make any promises you can't keep.

Venus square Venus

Let's all just get along

From Apr 27 to May 1 | Exact: Apr 28, 2024

Working hard, sticking to your budget or your diet and other such difficult tasks will be even harder than usual during the two weeks of this transit. You just don't feel motivated to do much of anything, much less something difficult. It's not that you can't put in the effort; you do have stores of energy you can access if you absolutely have to, and you'll get the job done. But you're much more prone to self-indulgence now. You want to go out shopping or eat rich foods that make you feel lavish and pampered. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a little pampering, except that you'll probably take it too far now. You're also in a very conciliatory mood; you could let someone walk all over you because you're simply not in the mood to stand up for yourself and cause a fuss. If you go out with someone new, let's hope it's someone nice, because you'll let people get away with a lot at this time. Your motto might be, Let's all just get along! A nice sentiment, but not always appropriate. In general, though, this transit will be a pleasant one, if a bit low-energy.

Sun square Sun

Be patient

From Apr 29 to May 5 | Exact: May 1, 2024

Whew -- you're just not feeling yourself during this period. You're edgy and ready to react to just about anything, and your energy is low. Even if you're in a hopeful and optimistic frame of mind, you're likely to notice that you keep coming up against challenges. This is probably not the best time to go out on a date, especially with someone new; there will just be too many challenging elements preventing you two from making a good connection. You could think things are going fine one minute, but then you'll say something innocuous, and they'll get their back up -- and there goes a perfectly good date. It'll be that easy to set someone off during these few days, or to get your own feelings hurt by them. You're more likely to put your foot in your mouth at this time, or to react defensively to something that normally wouldn't bother you. You could take things personally that aren't meant that way. Communicating with that special someone could be really difficult at this time, but don't let that make you lose hope in the connection. This transit is short, so what appears bleak now could look a lot rosier in a week or so. Just be patient; you'll make that connection soon.

Mars opposite Pluto

Potential for obsession

From May 1 to May 11 | Exact: May 9, 2024

Whatever you're trying to get going on a dating or romantic level may or may not work out in the end; during this transit, all you can expect is that any flirtation with a potential sweetie isn't likely to flow smoothly. The best you can do is to bear with the troublesome energy and try not to struggle against it. If you do struggle, you're likely to get into arguments, including with that special someone that you may not know very well yet. You also run the risk at this time of becoming obsessed with someone you're attracted to, and you might try to manipulate the situation in the name of getting something going with them. Remember, though -- obsession isn't the same as a real connection; it's one-sided at best. Manipulation never works for long; it could end up really ticking off that special person, and they won't want to get to know you any further. So stick to aboveboard tactics in your dating life, despite any urges you may have to manipulate things behind the scenes. Your best course for this transit is to stay active and social, but don't fixate too closely on any one person. Put your energy into yourself. You have a chance to better yourself now.

Jupiter square Mercury

Learning from strangers

From May 3 to May 18 | Exact: May 11, 2024

You could learn a lot during the four months of this transit, but you'll have to decide to learn the lessons this period has to offer, and not close yourself off to the experience. You might come across to that special someone as being a bit arrogant or stuck on your own message, because you do have a heightened sense at this time of the importance of whatever it is that you want to say. Don't let that stop your from listening to other people. You're probably feeling good during this period, high on life and ready to have a great time with whoever catches your eye. You might even go out with several different people, and overextend yourself socially. As long as you take care of yourself -- don't drink too much or do anything else excessive! -- and also take care not to step on anyone's toes, you should be fine. A good idea during this time might be to keep a journal about your thoughts, your experiences and your interactions with other people, because you're not likely to be able to put it all together until later, when this period is over. Especially if a potential sweetie lets you know they're less than impressed, pay attention to what they're telling you about yourself.

Sun square Jupiter

A little too self-confident

From May 6 to May 12 | Exact: May 11, 2024

You might want to wait a week or two before making contact with someone new or going out on a date, because you run the risk of coming across as overly confident or even arrogant during this time. Thank goodness this transit only comes around twice a year! If you do go out with someone new, watch for telltale signs that you're boring or even annoying them. If they keep giving you one-word answers and looking around the room at everyone but you, it could mean that they're actually offended by your attitude, because the usual filter that helps you be socially graceful just isn't in place at this time. You'll think you're just being opinionated, but you may come across as a self-righteous know-it-all. And it will be entirely unintentional on your part. You'll just have the urge to let everyone know your opinion on the matter, and you won't know when enough is enough -- when it's time to be quiet and let the other person talk and assert their opinions. It would definitely be best during this period to hang out with people who already know you well, because they'll know you're just going through a phase that will pass soon.

Venus square Sun

Too much fun

From May 7 to May 12 | Exact: May 8, 2024

You really want love and approval during this two-week transit, and you'll seek it actively. While that's not a bad thing in itself, it could mean that your mind is more on romance than on anything else, and you could find it hard to get things done, like, say, your work. You also might reach out to potential lovers who really aren't a good match for you, and while trying to make it work out because you really, really, really want a mate, you'll be overly conciliatory with them. It's nice to be nice, but you can see why that would be a bad thing if you get hooked up with someone who's not really worthwhile for you! It's possible that someone you're attracted to during this transit might present you with some kind of problem -- some tension that will be difficult to deal with. Even if that doesn't happen, you're in the mood to have a good time and you're going to make that happen no matter what, even if it means having a little too much fun with someone who really isn't worth your time. It would probably be better to stick to friends you know well during this period; at least be very discriminating in whom you choose to date.

Mercury opposite Uranus

Just for shock value

From May 8 to May 14 | Exact: May 13, 2024

Maybe you're ordinarily more thoughtful and considered in your behavior, but this transit will stimulate some strange impulses in you that could cause you to act quite out of character. It's almost as if there's something just beneath the surface of who you are that's clawing to get out. It's pushing you to do and say the strangest things! You'll speak without thinking, and you could definitely put your foot in your mouth at this time. Or you could do it deliberately -- trying to shock your date if you go out with someone who just seems too straight and narrow for your tastes. You definitely won't have patience for anything or anyone mundane during this time. The truth is, you might be better off hanging out with old friends -- but you won't want to do that, either, because you want newness, stimulation, excitement. If you go out with someone new during this period, just don't expect it to last long. You might have some great conversations with them, if you're not too busy offending them with your strange perspective; but once this period is over and you settle back into your normal self, whatever flirtation you struck up is likely to fade as quickly as it arose.

Mercury square Venus

Tense and nervous

From May 10 to May 15 | Exact: May 14, 2024

Even if the connection starts off strong between you and the person you're sweet on, it could go a little awry during this period, which lasts less than two weeks but could be slightly difficult during that time. Good thing it only happens twice a year, because the energy of this transit can muddle up your perception of your potential sweetie. You might be in the mood for romance, but something will stand in the way between you and the object of your desires. You might misread them or their intentions, or you might just feel nervous and tense around them, unable to relax. That wouldn't be a great impression to make on someone you've just met, so you might choose to just hold off on getting together until this minor troublesome influence passes. If you do get together or call them on the phone, you could get into arguments or at least feel unheard and misunderstood, because your communication with them will be like a field full of potholes -- ready to trip you up unexpectedly. It will be hard to find common ground with that special someone; they won't seem so special during this period, so hold off on contacting them for a week or two, until you're more able to appreciate them.

Sun square Mercury

Potential for miscommunication

From May 12 to May 18 | Exact: May 16, 2024

Foot-in-mouth disease bothering you lately? It's likely to flare up during this period. Thank goodness this transit only comes around twice a year! You may find it hard to make a good connection, especially with someone new. You'll do and say things that will just come out wrong, and you could offend people without even meaning to or realizing it. Conversely, they could offend you by saying something that wouldn't normally bother you. This isn't the best time for a date, or even for getting in contact with someone; your communication won't be at its best, and you could end up spoiling something that would have been a perfectly good connection at another time. If you do get together with that special someone, you won't like the fact that you're really different, with diverse ideas and opinions on a variety of subjects. You might even get into an argument, and if you're fighting with someone you've only just met or made contact with, that doesn't bode well for the future of the relationship! So why not just chill out and take a week or two off the dating scene? You can avoid miscommunications by not trying to communicate with anyone new.

Venus square Jupiter

Too much of a good thing

From May 13 to May 17 | Exact: May 16, 2024

If you've been watching your weight, your diet could fly out the window during this transit, which is all about overindulging your urges. If you go out with someone new, don't meet for drinks at a bar, because you could go way too far and make a bad impression (think falling off the bar stool and needing to be carried home!). Performing hard work or sticking to a budget will be similarly lost causes. Sure, you'll have a great time indulging in all these things that you're normally more moderate about, but in a week or so, you'll start to feel the effects of too much of a good thing. You're in a good mood, though, in the meantime; your dates and flirtations will be a lot of fun, and you'll be generous with your potential sweetie, treating them to all the finest and richest things in a bid to please and impress them. Just try not to take it too far! But you might just not have any idea of what's going too far, and that's the problem at this time. You could have a great time for the entire week-plus span of this transit, and then have a big comedown at the end when you're broke, hung over and sporting new, unwanted pounds.

I hope you have enjoyed the valuable insight, wisdom and guidance of this astrology report. You might be a little curious about astrology and perhaps wondering how an astrologer can know so much about you!

Astrology is a mathematical system. It's all about applying meaning to numbers, or more specifically, finding meaning in the movements of the planets around the Sun, as viewed from our perspective here on earth. These planetary movements are easily captured and recorded with measurements, calculations, angles and so on.

That's why astrology works so well with computers, whose programs are also based on numbers and formulas. In 'the old days' -- thousands of years ago, when astrology was first recorded -- those early astrologers had to painstakingly observe the heavens and catalog their observations for the next generation of astrologers to build upon. Thank goodness for the computer age! Now we can simply use computers to make those calculations quickly and pull just the applicable pieces of information. Now, astrology is instant, based upon thousands of years of observations obtained through careful methodology.

Interpretations of planetary positions are based in part on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but your astrological report is unique, describing you and you only. Even in the case of twin siblings, their birth charts differ from each other's in at least a few ways. And besides, no one amounts to just a simple interpretation of their birth chart; everyone's personality is complex. Your astrological report leaves plenty of room for variations based on your free will, personal growth and transformation over a lifetime.

Just like you, your astrological report is unique. It’s generated online in seconds and provides you with instant insight at your fingertips. Whether you have a pressing question about your future or you just want some guidance and direction, now you can have it all -- in a fast, focused, all-about-you format.

You can choose from several different types to find the report that's right for you and your needs. Your natal report is all about you -- your unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potential and so on. Compatibility reports analyze the connections between two different people, to see how well and in what ways they get along. And a forecast is based on where the planets are today and how they're affecting you, uniquely. Be sure to try a free sample of another report to find out more about you!
