Blending the old with the new

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24 | Exact: May 18, 2024

You're uniquely able to blend the old and the new during this fun ten-month transit. So what does that mean for you? It means that you'll be attracted to unusual people, people whom you wouldn't normally think are your type -- but they'll excite you and make you think of relationship possibilities that never occurred to you before. At the same time, you won't lose sight of what's important to you in a love relationship. You'll still retain your ideals, even as you dip your toe into something new. Furthermore, you may have put some changes in place in your methods of dating or looking for love; and now is the time when you can enjoy the effects of your new way of doing things. Any effort you've put into bettering yourself, your perspective and so on have paid off, and you're now enjoying the benefits in a calm, self-assured way. You're also patient now; you don't expect anything amazing to happen fast, or to be swept off your feet. Instead, you're content to take things as they come, and have a good time while you're at it. So keep your eyes open for new opportunities in love, and new and unusual people to keep you company.

The challenge of a fulfilling life

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24

If you're used to being overly cautious and selective in your love life, that's about to change -- in the most fun and beneficial way possible. This transit is all about a happy graduation to a new level of maturity in your life. This one year period will be full of interesting interactions with unusual people who will help you along your current path, that of learning to live and love in a new, freer way. You'll have more fulfilling interactions with that special someone than ever before, because you're getting down to the root of things -- how you really want to live, what kind of life you really want to lead. For one thing, you want a life full of love, of interactions with people you care about and whose company you enjoy. You'll impress your admirers with your new outlook on life, because you're learning to be more giving and forgiving with others. You won't fault a potential sweetie for their insecurities or other shortcomings, because you know you're not perfect either. You won't treat dating as a game anymore -- it's still fun, but it's also serious and interesting and real. You're ready for the challenge of a fulfilling love life.

Mercury trine Neptune

Find your dream lover

Before 04/25/2024 to May 4 | Exact: May 2, 2024

The perfect date for you at this time would be a trip to an aquarium, because when you're looking at the fish swim around in their world that's so different from yours, it's almost as if you're underwater yourself, transported to another reality. An aquarium is dim and colorful and dreamy, and it stimulates your creativity and your imagination. That's why kids love them, and in that way, you're in an almost childlike mental state during this transit -- in the best way. Adults get so caught up in their daily lives that they forget to connect with the magic of the universe, but during this period, you're very much in tune with that side of life. Your imagination is open, ready to be stimulated; you're highly perceptive on a feeling level. So if you get a strong feeling about that special someone, go with it. This is a great time to reach out and connect; you could make a really romantic bond with someone, because you're reaching out with your heart and soul more than with your mind. You'll make an intense impression on your potential sweetie, because your altered mental state will really come across -- and your imaginative mindset will be very appealing to them.

Neptune trine Mars

Humming passion

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24

Your heart is going out to the world during this two-year transit, starting with that very special someone you'll be highly attracted to. You're capable of a selfless passion at this time; you only want to reach out and help the people around you. If you get involved with someone who suffers from insecurities or other issues, you could really help them push through their problems and start living more fully. Connecting on a heart level will be the most fulfilling experience you can have at this time. You're not selfish now, or driven by vanity or any other petty interest. You have a sense of awe for the world, for being allowed to be a part of it. And passionate love, on top of that? It's like the cherry on top of a huge, gorgeous and delicious cake. If you find love with someone sweet and special, you'll find that your needs match up well. You'll be able to reach out to them and help them fulfill their dreams, and in doing so, you'll fulfill your own. You'll experience love as a spiritual and transcendent thing, and your passion will vibrate and hum within you like mellow sound waves on the taut string of a cello.

Pluto trine Sun

Taking control of your love life

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24 | Exact: May 2, 2024

You have a unique, once in a lifetime chance to take control of your love life now. Your self-esteem is high and healthy, and you know what you want and need out of love. Instead of going after it aggressively, as some might do -- or as you, yourself, might do at a different point in your life -- you're feeling serene and confident enough to wait and let opportunities come your way naturally. Your current self-confidence is based on the very fact that you've been through some hard times in love in the past, and you've lived to tell the tale; and now you're strong enough to take what comes. You're not afraid of what this two-to-three-year period will bring you, because you know you can handle it -- any breakups that might occur won't break your heart; any misunderstandings with a lover can be smoothed out, even if it takes awhile. In general, things will run more smoothly than they have been. Your energy and confidence will be very attractive to your admirers, so they'll be assets in your dating life. Best of all, you'll be able to make positive changes now in the way you approach love and romantic relationships.

Venus trine Jupiter

Lucky in love

From Apr 25 to Apr 29 | Exact: Apr 28, 2024

Too bad this transit is so short -- its intensity will only last a few days -- because it's such a pleasant and fun one. During this week-long period, you feel great: content with yourself, attractive, happy with your life. There's no better position from which to start a new relationship than from a feeling of contentment. In fact, you could get lucky during this period. No, not in that way! Although, it is a possibility. But luck in general will find its way to you, and you could meet someone you're very taken with during this time. You'll spread the wealth, bringing your confidence and good mood to any party, date or get-together and making everyone around you feel great as well. Even if no one special has caught your eye, you could go out with friends, and you'll be so fun and witty that you'll catch someone's eye without even meaning or trying to. In itself, the energy of this transit isn't enough to bring on The One or True Love; but you'll have a great time anyway, and those things are certainly a possibility. This is definitely a good time to make contact with that special someone.

Mars trine Mars

Going for the gold

From Apr 28 to May 7 | Exact: May 1, 2024

You're willing to go after the object of your desires in a focused and assertive way, but you won't get too aggressive and push away that special someone. During this three-week transit, you're feeling energetic, in tune with what you want and who you're attracted to, but you're still mindful of boundaries and limits. You're not going to come on too strong -- just strong enough! If you want to let someone know you're into them, that's great, because it will probably have a good outcome. Even if nothing happens between you and this person immediately, you can rest easy knowing that you've laid a great foundation for a relationship in the future. After all, timing is a big part of successful relationships, and just because you're in the right frame of mind to get something going, it doesn't mean your potential sweetie is equally ready and willing. But who knows? You could express your attraction now and they'll take you up on the offer sometime in the near future. You just never know, and right now, that's fine with you. But chances are good that if you go for someone now, they'll go for you too. So make it happen.

Sun trine Saturn

Being yourself, naturally

From May 4 to May 10 | Exact: May 8, 2024

Anyone you get involved with at this time will give you a lot of respect, because right now, you command it. Not in a forceful or overbearing way, either; you're just being yourself, and you're coming across to the world as a mature, authoritative and sophisticated person, someone to be reckoned with. Obviously, if you get to know someone new at this time, they'll be very impressed with you! Even the smallest details will make a great impression: You'll show up on time to meet your date; you won't interrupt them during conversation or try too hard to wow them with how smart or cool or attractive you are. You won't need to; you'll just be yourself, natural and confident, and that will be plenty. You're also good at setting boundaries during this transit, so if someone is coming on too strong or making you uncomfortable, you'll be able to get out of the situation easily and gracefully. You might look at this period of a couple of weeks as a great time to get your dating life in order. Make contact with new people, and don't bother to push a connection if it doesn't feel like a sure thing. Your instincts are well-focused now, and you can trust them.

Mercury trine Jupiter

Enjoy yourself

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

You've got a great attitude during this transit for dating and finding love. You're feeling optimistic about the future, and confident in your abilities to attract someone special -- as well you should. You're charming and funny now, talkative and expressive, and your natural intelligence is easily conveyed. You might even be feeling so on a high that you'll feel a bit intellectually superior to the people around you -- but don't let yourself fall into that trap. This is too nice of an influence to waste it on feelings of superiority. After all, you're smart, but you don't know all there is to know about the world. Getting to know someone special will take you a step closer to that knowledge, however! Reach out to someone who seems unique and unusual; your mind will be blown by their perspective on life. You're very communicative at this time, able to reach people at a deep level, so you'll be able to make this person feel seen and heard in a way that's pleasurable to both of you. Most of all, during this period, have fun! You're tuned in to the best parts of life, so enjoy yourself.

Venus trine Saturn

Serious and straightforward

From May 11 to May 15 | Exact: May 14, 2024

You'll put that special someone at ease during this time, because you're not making any unrealistic demands on anyone, including yourself. You're very realistic about what you can put into a love affair, and about what you can reasonably expect to get out of it. You're not looking for a hero, someone who's larger than life and who will move the earth for you; you're just looking for someone you can rely on, someone who will deliver what they say they will. If they're honest with you about who they are and what their intentions are, then so much the better. You'll take them at their word and there will be no problems between you. You're very grounded during this transit, and practical about love. You're not expecting to be swept off your feet, which is a good thing...just don't expect to get overly infatuated with anyone at this time. If you start an affair, it will be serious and straightforward. You'll move slowly together, getting to know each other really well before making a commitment. You'll be open and honest, with yourself and with your potential lover, about what to expect from your connection.

Sun sextile Mars

Expressing your inner passion

From May 17 to May 21 | Exact: May 20, 2024

You'll express your passionate side more easily than usual during this period, and everyone around you will notice. That makes this a great time to get in contact with that special someone, because you'll turn them on to all the possibilities -- just by being yourself. You don't have to do anything special or go out of your way to make a great impression, but if you want to, go for it! You're very creative during this period. If you have a new idea for how you want to approach a potential date, go ahead and try it out, because you can expect good results. Your instincts are just right-on at this time. You feel adventurous and ready to explore -- even if that means contacting someone you wouldn't normally be attracted to, or someone who actually makes you nervous! If nothing else, you'll just feel very positive during this period, so even if you end up going on dates that don't lead anywhere special, you'll still feel energized by the experience and ready for the next one. You're in a good mood during this time, in touch with your own inner drive, and that will definitely attract admirers. This transit only comes around twice a year, so have fun!

Mars trine Neptune

Meeting your potential sweetie's needs

From May 17 to May 24 | Exact: May 23, 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.

Sun trine Sun

Potential for something special

From May 20 to May 24 | Exact: May 22, 2024

This is a great time to connect with others, because you're feeling open, friendly and accessible, and ready to bond with someone special. If anyone has caught your eye lately, feel free to contact them or even ask them out, and then take it relatively slowly. After all, friendship is the best foundation for a romantic relationship, and that's what's in the air with this transit. You're in a supportive, encouraging and communicative frame of mind, and your date will really appreciate that energy; they'll want to come back for more! They'll also want to return the favor, so you should find your potential sweetie to be affectionate and supportive as well. You're feeling very much yourself during this week-long period, and as a result, you're able to give other people the space to be themselves as well. You won't be offended if you make contact with someone and then don't hear from them for a few days, because you're feeling secure enough not to get paranoid about whether they like you or not. Of course they like you! You're great, and you know it; and you also know that you have a lot to offer.

Venus sextile Mars

Giving and receiving

From May 21 to May 24 | Exact: May 23, 2024

You're magnetically attractive now, so use this transit to reach out to your potential sweetie. You're ready and willing to assert yourself, and you're not scared to be completely open about how you feel about them. But you're also in mood to receive pleasure as well as giving it! This transit is all about balance, and there's little risk that you'll either be too selfish or too forward in your advances. Instead, you'll hit just the right note, and what a sweet note it will be. You're in a mood to go out and mingle, so parties and clubs are your best milieu during this time. You want to flirt and interact on a face-to-face basis, so don't stay home, glued to the computer screen! Get out there and make contact, and enjoy yourself. You'll be the life of the party, and your admirers will surround you, vying for your attention. If that special someone gets amorous, you'll love it and you'll serve it right back up to them. And if they're normally shy or reserved, they'll appreciate your warmth, passion and spunk, because you'll loosen them up enough to have a good time and start what could turn into a really special connection.

Jupiter sextile Mars

Stay focused on your romantic goal

From May 24 to May 24

During this four-month transit, the universe will present you with some unique opportunities, and all you'll have to do will be to recognize them and reach out and take them. Making plans for your future is highlighted now, so focus on your love life even if you also set goals for your career or whatever else. After all, you can set goals in love too! Where are you now in terms of finding the love you desire, and where would you like to be? This is the perfect time to figure out how to get from point A to point B. Who knows -- focusing your energies on that could put out the message to the universe that you're ready for your special someone to come along and sweep you off your feet! Even if you just go on some dates with potential during this period, you'll still have a good time as long as your eyes are on the goal. You'll have some great conversations with the new people you're getting to know, because your mind is acute and you're not scared of personality differences. In fact, you'll want to know everything about this other person who might become very important to you.

Venus trine Sun

Your sweetest self

From May 24 to May 24

Don't put too much pressure on yourself during this two-week transit to get a lot of hard work done. You're not in the mood for hard work, and you're definitely not in the mood to be alone. You want to reach out into the world and connect with people, and you're in the perfect mind space -- and heart space -- to do so. You're feeling especially warm, energetic and generous, and your best side is definitely showing. Actually, that's true physically as well as emotionally! You're very attractive now to your admirers, because that inner energy is coming out through your pores, almost, and making you feel and look great. Ask someone out, because this is the perfect time to be among friends or with a potential sweetie. Parties and dance clubs are especially fun for you now; you love anything that's group-oriented and you'll thrive off the energy that pulses at these places. This is a great time to go out with several different people and flirt with all of them, seeing who you like best, but even more, it's a better time to nurture a special connection with just one person who's caught your eye.

Romantic disappointments

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24 | Exact: May 17, 2024

You could experience such romantic disappointments during this ten-month transit that you'll start to think you're really paying your dues. The truth is, maybe you are. This transit signifies the breakdown of ideals, and though it's an uncomfortable process, it's also a necessary one. After all, it's wonderful to have ideals in love, but you can mislead yourself if you take them too seriously. You're the only one who knows what your own vision of the perfect mate is; it's someone that you've made up in your head -- someone who doesn't exist. And this period of time will show you in no uncertain terms that your ideals are in serious need of a reality check. The possibilities for this period include being misled not only by yourself, but by that certain someone who seems so special. They might end up not being entirely honest with you about their intentions; or maybe it's you who will read all kinds of things into their words and actions that they never intended. When the relationship ultimately falls short of your expectations, you'll be disappointed indeed. Just try not to make any decisions at this time about a potential lover, positive or negative.

Asking the tough questions

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24

This period could be upsetting for you in certain ways, because it's all about making changes in your life -- usually big ones. This transit marks the classic mid-life crisis. In the end, you'll look back and realize this was an important and necessary period of adjustment. In terms of love, you may feel discouraged at this time. Restlessness and irritability pervade your body and soul. Perhaps you've been through the ending of a major relationship, and now you're thinking about getting back into the game again... Or maybe you've been back in the game, with little lasting success so far. Don't lose hope. You're being challenged to ask yourself some tough questions, but the answers will tell you where you need to go next. If you've been through a series of short, dissatisfying affairs, you're not choosing the right kind of person to get involved with. You need to seek more sweetness and stability in your love life, even if those seem boring to you. If an old, significant relationship went bad, hold on to the lessons you learned from that experience, even if it's painful to recall what went wrong. After all, you were responsible for half the relationship's collapse, so now you're in a better position to do things in a new way.

Mercury opposite Mercury

Spoiling for an argument

Before 04/25/2024 to May 2

If you find yourself attracted to someone during this week-plus period who stimulates your mind, don't be surprised if that stimulation turns quickly to irritation. It won't even be their fault; you're not in a very communicative mode now, and you might get argumentative when you start to uncover all the ways in which your potential sweetie views the world differently from you. You actually run the risk now of being openly critical of other people, rejecting their ideas and viewpoints as silly or uneducated. What could start out as a friendly debate could turn ugly if you let yourself be derisive or overly combative. As a matter of fact, you might want to just stick to the people you know well during this transit, because you're not at your mental best. If someone has caught your eye, you've got a better chance of connecting with them in a positive way once this energy clears, because if you go out with them now, you'll just show them your prickly, stubborn, judgmental side. That's not a good first impression to make! So go out with friends, and if you do contact someone new, be nice! Watch what you say, because you could unknowingly come across in a bad way.

Mercury opposite Pluto

Inappropriate probing

Before 04/25/2024 to May 5 | Exact: May 3, 2024

You're not your nice, normal self during this transit. It might feel like a monster has taken over your brain, and has turned you into an obsessive, manipulative, argumentative person who can't let well enough alone! You'll act and react almost compulsively; if you go on a date now, you'll intend to be on your best behavior and make a good impression, but you'll descend into obsessive or controlling behaviors without even realizing it. Sure, you really, really want to make a connection, and an impression. Making an impression won't be the hard part now -- you'll make one, all right. Probably not a great one, however! You'll probe into your potential sweetie's life and heart in a way that could make them feel defensive and self-protective. You'll think you're just trying to get them to open up to you, and you'll forget the fact that it's their prerogative whether they want to open up or not. If they stay closed-mouthed and -hearted, you could resort to criticism or being argumentative in a further attempt to draw them out. Haven't you ever heard that honey draws more flies than vinegar? Sure you have; you just won't be able to be simple and sweet during this period.

Pluto opposite Mars

A hard customer

Before 04/25/2024 to May 24

If you make it through this two-to-three-year transit with a romantic relationship intact by the end, you can feel pretty certain you've found the real thing -- because the energy at work on your soul at this time will make you a hard customer to handle! You'll feel irritated or even angry without even knowing why; you'll know you're picking a fight but you won't be able to stop yourself. Relationships could begin and end in clashes of drama, because unless you've got the patience and self-control of a saint, you'll pit your ego against that of your potential sweetie, again and again. You'll even resort to dirty tricks during arguments that you'd normally never employ. Power struggles will be so ubiquitous during this period that you could start to feel like you're getting it from all sides -- but it could all be in your imagination, and you're creating contentious situations by reacting as such. You could feel very impatient with the state of your love life during this period, but don't try too hard to make something happen; you're more likely to force an argument or even a breakup than to force anything positive.

Venus square Mars

Coming on too strong

From Apr 26 to Apr 30 | Exact: Apr 29, 2024

You'll run the risk during this transit of coming on too strong, in whatever way that applies. if someone special catches your eye, you won't take no for an answer, even if they're clearly letting you know they're not interested in getting to know you! You're passionate and aggressive now, which isn't a bad thing in itself; the trouble could start when you push forward despite what the other person wants or thinks about it. After all, a flirtation or relationship involves two people, not just you and your desires. But you're so in touch with your desires right now that they might cloud what would normally be your better judgment. Another possibility during this transit is that, if there's someone special whom you've already been getting to know, you could get frustrated with them, likely for little or no reason, and you'll start an argument that should have been avoided. You're excitable and easily aroused now, ready to reach to anything. If you're attracted to someone who gets sparked up by high energy and open displays of passion, then this could actually be a fun transit for you both, but the likelihood is that you'll go too far and upset a potential sweetie.

Mars opposite Sun

This could go either way

From May 1 to May 10 | Exact: May 3, 2024

This three-week transit has two different possibilities, one of them more difficult than the other. Your energies are aroused at this time, and if you don't handle that well, you could get irritable and argumentative as a result. If that's the case, it's not a good time to go on a date or initiate contact with someone new, because you're just going to get into arguments with this person that you don't even know. However, that's not the only way you could be influenced by the energies of this transit. The more positive possibility is if you've already started a flirtation with someone special, or even a brand-new relationship, and this transit marks a really amazing, exciting climax in the relationship! Yes, it could be that kind of climax...or it could be a declaration of your mutual affection, or a talk with your potential sweetie that leads you both to agree not to date anyone else. The possibilities of this transit are completely open and depend almost entirely on you -- on your natural energy, and on what you've been doing in your dating life for the past few weeks or months. Is there someone special on the horizon? Do you tend to be argumentative? Wait and see...

Sun opposite Uranus

Pushing people away

From May 2 to May 9 | Exact: May 8, 2024

You've got an itch that you just can't scratch during this transit, because it's an emotional itch -- a psychic one -- one that will irritate and annoy you, and that probably won't lead to good things with that special someone. The problem is, you'll feel rebellious and edgy, ready to react against anything or anyone that you feel is keeping you down. But even a date with someone who's perfectly nice could feel restrictive to you! Obviously, this is a defense mechanism. If you find yourself pushing people away without a lot of reason or provocation, take it as a sign that you need to back away from dating or even chatting until you're feeling more yourself, because you could end up ruining something that could've been a good thing, before it even starts. You might also attract unreliable or unstable people during this time, as an unconscious urge to make sure whatever relationships you start now won't last. Don't let yourself fall into this trap! Just take a break. Instead of going on dates, go out with your friends to a party and have fun that way. You'll feel more stable in a couple of weeks, and then you'll be able to make a good impression once again.

Saturn opposite Saturn

A hard lesson

From May 7 to May 24

If you haven't been on the right path in your love life during the past few years, this could be a difficult ten-month transit for you. Bad choices you may have made in the past will come up again now, either as regrets or as insecurities that date back to that old, bad relationship. This period calls on you to make positive changes in your life, changes that will have long-lasting effects, but it's not going to be made easy for you. Any area of your life that is presenting major difficulties -- not just your love life -- will indicate that a major overhaul is needed. So how can you overhaul your love life? Take some time, either alone with a journal or with a trusted friend, to look over your past relationships. Have they been good for you? Have you chosen to date people who treated you well, who made you feel good about yourself? If not, now's the time to start looking for a new kind of love. You deserve to be treated right and to have everything you've ever dreamed of, but the only person who's going to make it happen is you. So now's the time to start. This way, if you make the changes you need to make, you can look back on this difficult period with pride.

Venus opposite Uranus

A lack of balance

From May 9 to May 15 | Exact: May 14, 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.

Mercury square Mars

Picking fights

From May 12 to May 16 | Exact: May 15, 2024

This is really not a good time to get in touch with someone new; with the mood you're in during this transit, you'll try the patience of even your closest friends. You're irritable and touchy, and prone to taking things the wrong way. If you choose to go out with someone during this time, don't be surprised if you end up arguing -- even if you don't know them. The problem is, you don't know how to be tactful at this time, and all your communications will be forceful. For some reason, you feel very defensive about your opinions now, almost as if you have to guard them with your life. You're hotheaded, and you definitely could jump to conclusions, even when it comes to that special someone. Logically, you might know that they're a nice person and you shouldn't get mad at them, but emotionally, you'll be like a ball of dry weeds on a hot summer day -- ready to ignite! You could make a bad impression at this time, so you might be better off making no impression at all. Wait till you're feeling more levelheaded to try to strike up a romance.

Keep your hands to yourself

From May 12 to May 21 | Exact: May 14, 2024

You're feeling very sexual and sexy now, and you really want to make that connection with someone. But you know you shouldn't just run out and grab the first person you see, and even if there's someone special on your horizon, you still might not be anywhere near the point at which physical expression of your feelings for them would be at all appropriate. So what are you going to do with all this extra energy, this big need that's only seeming to increase with every second during this three-week transit? Part of the problem with the energy during this period is that, if you do get physical with someone now, it might not even be satisfying. You're likely to focus too much on your bodily urges and ignore the emotional component completely, which is actually the side of sex that really makes it worth experiencing. After all, if it's just your body that's involved, you could get the job done on your own, right? So instead of pushing for what will end up being an empty, meaningless encounter, you should try to keep your hands to yourself and focus instead on making an emotional connection with that hottie.

Faced with unexpected challenges

From May 13 to May 23 | Exact: May 16, 2024

It's likely that you'll feel irritable during the three weeks of this transit, but even if you feel normal, you'll probably find that you're getting into a lot of arguments and coming up against unexpected challenges in almost every interaction you have with other people. This might not be the best time to get in touch with someone special or go out on a date, because you might put your foot in your mouth, say things you'll regret later or actually get into an argument -- with this person that you don't even really know! You might be subconsciously attracted to argumentative types who are more interested in challenging you than they are in getting to know you, but it's more likely that you're the one who is putting out the fractious energy and making things tense. You'll just take offense needlessly and misread signals coming from your potential sweetie. Your judgment and perception are clouded now, so you'll have a hard time getting an accurate read on someone. That means this isn't a great time to get to know someone new. You probably won't see them in a true light, and you could accidentally push them away before your relationship even gets on solid ground.

An overblown sense of proportion

From May 14 to May 24 | Exact: May 22, 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.

A little too self-confident

From May 14 to May 21 | Exact: May 19, 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.

Potential for obsession

From May 17 to May 24 | Exact: May 24, 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.

Too much of a good thing

From May 19 to May 24 | Exact: May 22, 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.

Mercury opposite Uranus

Just for shock value

From May 24 to May 24

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.

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!
