Blending the old with the new

Before 04/26/2024 to May 10

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.

Find your dream lover

Before 04/26/2024 to May 2 | Exact: Apr 27, 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.

Sun trine Saturn

Being yourself, naturally

Before 04/26/2024 to May 1 | Exact: Apr 29, 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.

Mars trine Venus

Potential for a physical connection

Before 04/26/2024 to Apr 26

This transit highlights your sexual energy, but in a smooth and calm way. If there's no one special in your life or on the horizon right now, you're okay with that; you're not going to run out and get a date just to find some physical self-expression. But if there is someone you've been flirting with or getting to know better, this three-week period could mark the time when you'll step your relationship up to the next level. That might mean just holding hands, which can be really hot! Or it might mean something more. Whatever level you're at with someone, don't be surprised if your relationship fast-forwards just a bit now. You're feeling sexy and attractive, and just good and energetic, ready to connect. But again, even if you don't connect with anyone romantically during this time, that will be okay with you. You'll know how to divert your energy into something creative. You could write a short story, paint a picture or just get out into nature, to appreciate the bounty of life around you. You've got plenty of energy, but you're calm at your center. Whatever comes, you'll be happy with it, and you'll meet it actively, head-on.

Mars trine Jupiter

Time to take a chance

From May 3 to May 11 | Exact: May 9, 2024

You might look back on this transit at the end of its three weeks and think, Wow -- what a lucky influence! It's not so much luck at work as your own high energy and your willingness to make things happen. This is as good a time as any to take a chance on love, because the universe is aligned for good things to happen when you take an active hand in your own development. And relationships are a catalyst for growth, right? Your whole life should be about growth and progress, and this transit should put you further along on your personal path. You might make a fun connection with somebody special, or you might just go out and have a great time flirting and getting to know people. Either way is great -- as long as you're not staying home alone, sitting on the couch while life passes you by! However, that's not likely to happen, because you're in no mood to be a homebody. You're very in touch at this time with your romantic needs, so you're more able than usual to get them fulfilled. You're optimistic, rather than being weighed down or held back by pessimism. So get out there, have a good time and make that connection.

Venus trine Saturn

Serious and straightforward

From May 3 to May 8 | Exact: May 7, 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.

Mars trine Neptune

Meeting your potential sweetie's needs

From May 15 to May 23 | Exact: May 21, 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 trine Saturn

Looking for love in all the right places

From May 19 to May 23 | Exact: May 22, 2024

You could make a good, solid romantic connection during this period. Not a wild and exciting one, no; but solid and stable are more important for the long-term than excitement, which comes and goes in fits and starts. During this two-week period, you're focused on what's good for you and what you're looking for in love, and you're practical enough about it that you won't waste time looking for love in any of the wrong places. Sure, your dates during this time might feel more like interviews in certain moments, when you're asking a potential sweetie serious questions about their values, their needs and their expectations; but what better way to get at the truth? If you're attracted to someone special during this period, chances are good that they're worth your time. You'll come across to them as maybe a bit quiet or reserved, but intelligent and focused, disciplined and well-organized. If you go out with someone who doesn't fit your idea of your usual 'type,' do give them a chance. You're not exactly open to anything new and unusual now, and it would be a shame to pass someone up just because they didn't look or behave quite how you thought they should.

Sun sextile Jupiter

Stay open to the possibilities

From May 23 to May 25

This is a good time to get in touch with someone new or go out on a date, because you're in a good mood and you feel open to the possibilities that the universe has to offer. You're tuned in during this time, and ready to grab hold of the opportunities that come your way. Even if someone contacts you who isn't your normal type, you're tempted to go out with them anyway, just to see what might happen -- maybe they'll surprise you, and at the very least, it'll be an interesting experience! You're probably in the mood for a date that will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons in some way, so get creative. Ask someone to accompany you to a cooking class, where you can learn to make something ethnic and delicious together. Or go see a documentary film, and go out for coffee afterward to discuss everything it made you both think about. You'll make a good impression at this time; you'll come across as smart, open-minded and knowledgeable. You'll impress that special someone with the way your mind works; they'll want to get to know you better, to find out what makes you tick.

Romantic disappointments

Before 04/26/2024 to May 22 | Exact: Apr 26, 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.

A hard lesson

Before 04/26/2024 to Apr 26

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.

A little too self-confident

Before 04/26/2024 to Apr 27 | Exact: Apr 26, 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.

Uranus opposite Mars

Watch out for future regrets

Before 04/26/2024 to May 25

You're highly impulsive during this one-year transit, and that's a long time to watch yourself and your behavior; but that's just what you're going to have to do if you want to avoid trouble. You can have a lot of fun during this period; you'll meet all kinds of strange and interesting people, and you'll follow your desires toward them without a second thought. That's part of the problem this exciting energy brings. You'll act without thinking; you'll jump headfirst into a love affair before you even know the person, or you'll cut off a relationship abruptly even though you've both been enjoying each other immensely. You might start arguments, even with people you don't know well, and you'll embarrass the both of you if you start a fight while you're out on a date or at a party. This transit can also mark more seriously impulsive behavior -- the kind that you wake up from with a headache and major regrets. So try to keep yourself in check. Don't party too hard, especially not with someone you've just met; you'll make the wrong impression if they have to support you back to the car.

Mercury opposite Pluto

Inappropriate probing

Before 04/26/2024 to May 3 | Exact: Apr 30, 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.

Sun opposite Mercury

Differences of opinion

Before 04/26/2024 to Apr 29 | Exact: Apr 28, 2024

You're going to have to put up with some big differences between you and whoever it is you've got your eye on at this time. If you go on a date, you can expect awkward silences or jokes that go over your head, or theirs. You're just not in a very clear-headed frame of mind, and your communication is going to be affected. Whatever you say is going to come out wrong; you might try to be funny and find your date just staring at you, or even mildly offended by whatever you said; or you might try to explain who you are in an email or a dating profile and fail miserably, because you just can't figure it out or be clear about it right now. In some way, misunderstandings are likely at this time. So what are you going to do about it? Keeping your smile plastered to your face is one route; you could just grin and bear it, and explain yourself as best you can. Or, you could just take a week or so away from the dating scene and just hang out and communicate with people who already know you well. That might be the better option, because you wouldn't want to make the wrong first impression on someone who could turn out to be very special.

Uranus opposite Venus

Unmistakably yourself

Before 04/26/2024 to May 25 | Exact: May 6, 2024

You're in the mood to be and do exactly as you please during this one-year transit, so have a great time! You're attracted to unusual people, and they'll be attracted to you, because your innate creativity is on display. The clothes you wear, the way you fix your hair, the spring in your step -- all of it works together to create an impression for your admirers, and during this period, you're someone who's funky and unusual, someone they really want to get to know. And you could do a lot of getting to know plenty of special people, yourself. This transit is usually a lot of fun and full of romantic encounters, but it's not much for long-lasting, committed relationships. You're more likely to have a series of strange and interesting flings than to settle down with anyone in particular. And during this period, that's okay. As long as you don't make any promises to anyone that you can't keep, you should feel perfectly free to have a good time doing what you want to do. Do be aware, though, that you might push things pretty far during this time; don't be surprised if other people start to view your eccentricity as downright weird.

Jupiter opposite Mars

Know your limits

Before 04/26/2024 to May 10

You've got an excess of energy during this transit, and about a thousand ideas of how to use it. The pitfalls of this four-month period should be obvious! You're like a little puppy now -- full of energy and ready to get into all kinds of trouble. If you go out with someone, you might spend way too much money and stay out way too late, making it hard to get to work in the morning. If they're the type of person to push the limits, you'll really get up to some craziness -- which will be fun, sure, but not the best idea in the world, especially if you're looking for a real connection instead of just a fast-paced, heady flirtation. It's possible, actually, that your date will get serious faster than you will, and they'll be pushing for some kind of commitment, or at least a routine in your getting-to-know-you melee, while you'll be struggling for as much freedom as you want to get out there and flirt it up with lots of different people. On the other hand, you've got an extra dose of self-confidence now. If you're used to being shy when it comes to dating, you can use this boost to come out of your shell and really make an impression.

Jupiter opposite Venus

Nothing stands in the way of fun

Before 04/26/2024 to May 19

You want to have fun with someone cute and special during this transit, and you're willing to do what it takes to make that happen -- so don't be surprised if, at the end of this four-month period, you've made a serious dent in your bank balance! That's because the energy of this transition encourages you to be very self-indulgent, with little regard for the consequences. As a result, you could have a great time, at least until your credit card bill arrives, dating lots of different people, or just one special one; going out to parties and flirting with everyone you see. Because of your generous, sociable nature at this time, you'll impress everyone you're around. But you could push it a little too far, if you drink, eat or spend too much. On the other hand, offering words of caution is probably not even going to make a dent in your plans, because you're bent on having a great time and breaking through all the restrictions and limitations that might stand in your way. Credit limits be darned! Well, if you insist on having fun, let's hope it's with that hot new cutie who's caught your eye...

Venus opposite Sun

Feeling lazy

Before 04/26/2024 to Apr 30

Let's hope you don't have anything important to do during this two-week transit, like, say, work; because you're not in the mood to apply yourself to anything that's difficult or that requires a lot of mind power, and it will be really hard to motivate yourself to tend to the mundane details of daily life. Instead, you want to have fun. You want to go out every night, on dates, to parties or out with friends, and you're likely to make that happen. You'll be the life of the party, and you'll just have such a good time making contacts with all those attractive people... Just take care not to overindulge, though that caution will probably be lost on you. Also, you run the risk of feeling so amorous that you're indiscriminate in your affections. You might get involved with someone at this time who really isn't worth your time, when all's said and done. If you go on a date with more than one person during this transit, make sure you don't lie to anyone about what you're up to! You might think a little white lie is best to avoid hurting someone's feelings, but it will have a way of coming back later to bite you in the you-know-what.

Sun opposite Uranus

Pushing people away

From Apr 29 to May 6 | Exact: May 5, 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.

Venus square Jupiter

Too much of a good thing

From May 1 to May 5 | Exact: May 4, 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.

Sun opposite Mars

A challenging energy

From May 4 to May 12 | Exact: May 10, 2024

If you're attracted to a certain someone and you want to make that first contact, it's best to hold off a bit. Wait a week or two until the current energy wears off, because you won't make your best impression during this time. It's not that it's impossible to make a good connection with someone now, but it definitely won't be easy. Your energies are running just a little too high, and you could come across as confrontational when you think you're just stating your opinion. You could also come on too strong, because you'll think you're being assertive when really you're being aggressive and making the other person uncomfortable. Another possibility during this period is that you'll contact or go out with someone you like, but then you'll spend the whole conversation in defense mode, because you'll think they're challenging you -- when they're not. You could find it hard not to get your feathers ruffled during this time, and you'll almost definitely rub other people the wrong way. But hey -- this period only lasts a couple of weeks, so why not wait to ask out that certain someone? You've waited this long for a good thing; a couple more weeks won't hurt you.

Venus opposite Mercury

Clearing the air

From May 5 to May 10 | Exact: May 6, 2024

If you've been getting to know someone special, this transit offers you a good opportunity to talk with them about the relationship and where you both see yourselves going, either as a couple or as individuals. If there's been any tension between you, or if you haven't felt as though you know this person as well as you'd like to, this is a good time to clear the air and get to the bottom of things. The energy of this period won't ensure that you'll make a great connection or come to a happy conclusion, like a commitment or a declaration of your mutual affection; it just lends itself to bringing events to a head. If there's something that needs to be talked out and dealt with, you'll talk about it now. Obviously, staying calm when you talk about sensitive issues is always a good idea, to make sure the situation doesn't get out of hand. On a different note, if there's no one special in your life just yet, do be careful if you make contact with someone new during this transit, because you're likely to put your foot in your mouth. Though you're willing to talk about emotional matters, you're not terribly sensitive during this transit, and could step on someone's toes.

Sun opposite Venus

A wish for pleasure

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

You'll be in the mood for company and pleasure during this two-week transit, so you'll probably have a great time. But you could be indiscriminate in who you hang out with, just because you don't want to be alone; in terms of company, just about anyone will do, for now. You'd do well to keep that in mind, and don't leap into a new relationship at this time. Hanging out and having fun is fine; just don't make any decisions about the future until this influence has passed. Also, if you've already been getting to know someone new and cute, cracks might start to show in your budding relationship, even if you really, really like them and really want to get along. Though this transit is usually a relatively pleasant one, it can have a way of highlighting underlying tensions in a relationship. It doesn't have to be a big deal if that happens; just earmark any issues that come up as things that need to be discussed later, when you're more in the mood for straightforward communication and facing problems. Because for now, you're just in the mood for fun. Let's hope you don't have too much important work to do at this time, because it will probably fall by the wayside!

Venus opposite Uranus

A lack of balance

From May 7 to May 12 | Exact: May 11, 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 opposite Sun

Delaying the inevitable

From May 10 to May 16 | Exact: May 12, 2024

You might feel very intrigued by someone new at this time, and you'll want to get to know them. But for the week-plus span of this transit, you'll find it hard to make a good connection with them. You'll have opposite viewpoints on everything, from the small stuff, like what movies you love, to the big, important stuff, like what you're looking for in a romantic relationship. You run the risk at this time of projecting your own desires onto someone else, because you really, really want to find the love you're looking for! It might feel easier to try to make a square peg fit a round hole, so to speak, instead of doing the hard work of accepting that the two of you are just incompatible shapes. You should try hard to read all the right signals instead of misinterpreting them -- or missing them entirely. If you've got a gut feeling about someone that you're ignoring because you don't want to face the truth -- that it's probably not going to happen -- you're just delaying the inevitable. You might be better off to take a couple weeks off from the dating game. Or at least don't make any decisions one way or the other about someone new.

Venus opposite Mars

Hot-blooded and ready to go

From May 11 to May 17 | Exact: May 15, 2024

You've got a lot of passion within you during this transit that wants to find expression, and if you're not able to let it out in a constructive way, trouble could result. Your sexual energies are on high, so if there's someone special that you've been getting to know, you might try to push things to that level between you. If so, make absolutely sure they're on the same page as you, and that they want you as much as you want them. Unfortunately, there is the chance that they're not as into you as you might wish, and that will definitely dent your ego and make you feel energetically thwarted. Even if there isn't anyone special in your life or on the horizon, you should watch out, because you're likely to be indiscriminate during this time. You might be attracted to anyone and everyone with whom you come into contact, including people you wouldn't normally be into. It's as if you've got these sexual, sensual feelers that you're putting out into the world, and it almost doesn't matter who you reach! But it does matter, as you'll find when this energy passes in a couple of weeks. Don't pick fights, and don't force your agenda onto anyone.

Potential for obsession

From May 15 to May 24 | Exact: May 22, 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.

Keep a journal of your feelings

From May 16 to May 22 | Exact: May 17, 2024

You want things to be so sweet and easy during this transit that you might not get a lot of work done, and you could end up compromising on issues that come up between you and that special someone. If there's someone you've been getting to know, irritations could arise now, and you might end up getting your feelings hurt. But instead of standing up for yourself, which sometimes is the only appropriate thing to do, you might try to suppress your feelings and pretend everything's fine. That's how much you want harmony in your life right now. But suppressing your feelings is never a good idea; it's the best way to ensure that they'll come back later, only stronger and more insistent that you face and deal with them. It's better to work things out as they come up, but that's a lot more easily advised than carried out on your part. If you really can't bring yourself to talk honestly with your potential sweetie about the issues that arise at this time, then keep a journal and write down all your feelings. That way, in a week or two when this energy passes, you can go back, look through it all and see what needs to be dealt with and what has resolved itself.

Bragging and boasting

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

This transit will offer you plenty of opportunities to get into trouble, so you might want to pare down your activities until smoother times arrive. On the other hand, that's more easily suggested than achieved, because the very problem of this transit is that it makes you overconfident in your abilities. You might ask someone out on a date, and your confident, forward approach will yield good results -- they'll say yes, and you'll feel like you're a step closer to finding your mate. But then when you go out, you may spend the whole time bragging about yourself and your abilities, and you'll end up undoing all the good feeling and hard work you put into making that connection. No one likes an arrogant braggart, after all. If you're bragging out of nervousness, so much the worse, because your tension will show, and your attempt at covering it up will seem all the more annoying. The best thing you could do during this transit, which lasts less than two weeks, is either to take some time off from the dating scene, or make a sincere and conscious effort not to brag or boast -- even if that means wearing duct tape over your mouth on your date!

Mercury opposite Mercury

Spoiling for an argument

From May 20 to May 25 | Exact: May 21, 2024

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 Uranus

Just for shock value

From May 22 to May 25 | Exact: May 25, 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 opposite Mars

Hold your own counsel

From May 25 to May 25

You're probably familiar with the idea that each of us dislikes in other people the qualities that we least like in ourselves. Well, that could really apply to you at this time. You might go through this two-week period feeling like you keep reaching out to people you're interested in, and they keep turning out to be, well, less than you expected! The likelihood is high that you're actually reacting to qualities in them that you possess yourself. You're basically spoiling for a fight with everyone you come into contact with, and that will include romantic interests and people you don't even know. You're irritable, and anyone's fair game. You're much more impulsive than usual at this time, and you'll say things you don't mean before you're able to catch yourself. At the very least, if you don't pick fights, you'll suffer from foot-in-mouth disease. The best course at this time is to hold your own counsel until this troubling energy blows over. If you do make contact with someone special during this period, try your hardest to stay even-tempered with them. Remind yourself that if they're coming across badly, it's probably just you.

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!
