Pay attention to your dreams and your instincts about love during this two-year transit. Your intuition is very much heightened and it will give you a more intimate picture than usual of the workings of love in your life, and if you'll pay attention, you can really use this gift. If you get a strong feeling about that special someone, take heed -- you're probably getting an even more accurate reading of them than you normally would. If you feel an instinctive urge to head in a certain direction in your love life, you should do it. Your subconscious mind is working in tandem with your heart and your instincts now, and together, they'll let you know what you need to know to make real love happen in your life. Just make sure that you don't wander too far down the road of fantasy! It might be extremely pleasant to lose yourself in dreams of love, but why waste this wonderful chance to find love in your real life? Just remember that love is a form of magic, and even in its mundane form, it can be every bit as interesting as any fantasy you could dream up.

After having gone through past relationships that may not have been as satisfying as you'd have wished on a spiritual level, you're now ready to find a true soul mate. This doesn't necessarily mean your one true love; after all, you've been around for a while, and you may already have found love, even more than once. But this transit gives you the opportunity either to find it again with someone very special and spiritual, or at least to focus on what you want in your next romantic relationship. A soul mate can be someone with whom you make an intimate, spiritual connection -- someone whose soul your own recognizes, and is drawn to. That's the kind of bond you're looking for now. You're not interested in someone who can't have meaningful conversations with you about the more profound subjects in life, such as love, loss and laughter. If this kind of connection happens during this transit, you'll be happy. If it doesn't, you'll still be content. You're smart and philosophical enough to know that there's more to heaven and earth than you may have dreamt of, and you're just beginning to scratch the surface.
Uranus sextile MarsBefore 04/19/2024 to May 20
You've got a new sense of energy and excitement during this one-year transit. You know what you want in love and you want to get out into the world and find it! You're probably not willing to compromise on your needs, so if you go on a date with someone who ends up not meeting your list of criteria, it's sayonara, baby. You don't have time now to dally around with someone who's not really what you're looking for -- not because you're actually running out of time, but because your restless spirit won't allow you to sit still unless there's a really good reason! You might not get involved with anyone long-term during this period; instead, you'll hop around a lot, trying out all different kinds of dates and people. If someone does happen to stick in your life, it will happen because they're a unique and spontaneous soul who is willing and able to give you the freedom you require. The good news is, you won't make any promises you can't keep. During this period, you'll do what you say you'll do, because you're unashamedly yourself now. Whatever impulses you have toward new and interesting people, you'll follow them.
Neptune trine NeptuneBefore 04/19/2024 to Oct 2 | Exact: Jul 2, 2024
You're old enough now to have a better understanding of the way the world works and your own place in it, and this two-year transit marks a time when your ego drives are at their lowest, in a wonderful way. You just don't feel the need to assert your own needs or your own opinions, all the time; there is bigger work to be done, and your intuition is telling you what that is and how you need to go about doing it. If you fall in love during this period, your lover will experience your kindest, most understanding side. You'll devote yourself to them and to the relationship in a way that's satisfying for both of you. You could fall for someone who needs your help -- maybe their insecurities about love and intimacy make you the perfect partner for them, with your compassionate nature, your strong shoulder for tough times, and your sincere desire to help them get to a better place in life. Another possibility for love during this period is connecting with someone who has the same outlook as you do -- someone whose ego is also comfortably in the back seat to deeper, more spiritual interests. You'll fall for someone who is on a similar path to you, and similarly compassionate.
Jupiter sextile MarsBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 27
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.
Mars sextile SunBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 22
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.
Uranus trine SunBefore 04/19/2024 to Jun 18
You may not make a long-term romantic connection during this one-year transit, but you'll certainly have a good time, and you'll make a great impression on anyone you go out with. You're very much yourself during this period; any insecurities you may have suffered from in the past suddenly seem insignificant. You're happy to be the exact, unique person that you are, and to let others get to know you as such. You'll feel a sense of personal power that will translate to other people as natural charisma, so don't be surprised if you collect admirers and invitations during this time! The reason these might not turn into a long-term love affair, however, is that you're feeling more friendly than romantic. Unless there's a concurrent transit that's strongly romantic and attachment-focused, you'll be more interested in making new friends than in taking a lover. Group activities are right up your alley, so to go parties and night clubs where you can interact with lots of different people in a single venue. You're attracted to people who are as unique and unusual as you are, and you deserve to have some fun.
Jupiter trine SunBefore 04/19/2024 to May 4
You'll feel so good during this four-month transit that you might be inspired to do nothing at all, but that definitely wouldn't be the best use of this energy. You're feeling happy and content with your life, which is wonderful; but with just a bit of extra energy and initiative, you can really make wonderful things happen with the help of this transit's energy. You might be inclined to sit around and just enjoy life, and there's nothing wrong with that. Any date you go on during this period might include a rich meal at a fancy restaurant, because you're in the mood to treat yourself, and so you should. And if you start to put on a few extra pounds because of being so self-indulgent, then get outside. You can have a fun date that's also active just as easily as you can enjoy someone's company over roast duck and creme brulee. Ask that special someone to take a walk or a jog with you, or to play Frisbee in the park, or to go hiking in the mountains or through the hills. Exercising your body is highlighted now, as is using your brain. You could also ask your potential sweetie to accompany you to a cooking class or a lecture.
Pluto trine PlutoBefore 04/19/2024 to Feb 9
What's truly meaningful to you about romance? When you get together with someone special, what do you like to do? Have a heart-to-heart conversation, perhaps, or hold hands while you watch a movie or take a walk? These are the kinds of questions that will come to the forefront for you during this two-to-three-year transit, and the answers will help you make a really meaningful connection with someone special. This is a time for focusing on whatever it is that's truly significant to you, and cutting out the rest. No more surface-level chitchat over drinks; no more flirtations that lead nowhere. You're interested in going much deeper than that, and you're interested in people who want to go there with you. This is the perfect time to make changes in your love life, or in the way you're going about the dating game. Anything you've been doing that hasn't been working can now be cut or changed to great effect. The same goes for relationships that are no longer working; you'll be amazed at how lighthearted you feel when you cut the dead weight from your social life! This is a time for letting go of outmoded connections to make way for new love to enter your life.
Uranus trine VenusBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 20
Well, aren't you the popular one! During this one-year transit, you'll have an influx of invitations to dates and parties, because suddenly, you're the hot property. This is the perfect time to go out with lots of different people and have a great time while trying out different types of connections to see which one makes you happiest. You're not judgmental now; you can go out on a date with someone who has obvious 'flaws,' such as hang-ups or insecurities, and you'll still be perfectly accepting of them and interested in getting to know them better. In this way, you'll put everyone around you at ease, because they won't feel like they have to go out of their way to impress you. That will ease up the tension all around, making room for everyone to just enjoy themselves! This is the perfect energy and influence for throwing a singles' party. Invite all your single friends and admirers, serve cocktails and appetizers, play some music and see what happens. By the end of the night, some new and exciting relationships will be in the works! If you're the one who gets romantically involved, it will be with someone who allows you plenty of freedom within the relationship.
Jupiter trine VenusBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 20
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.
Saturn sextile VenusFrom Apr 22 to Sep 9 | Exact: 05/02/2024,08/28/2024
You'll be very practical about love during this transit. You're perfectly willing to meet someone halfway, but you're not going to bend over backwards to meet their needs if they seem selfish to you, as if they're not going to meet yours in return. You've got a realistic perspective at this time: You know that there's plenty of fish in the sea, so you don't need to waste time on anyone who's not going to hold up their end of the relationship. Thank goodness! While that's not the most romantic perspective, it's actually a very healthy and useful one. Any relationship that buds during this period and sticks is likely to last awhile, because you've got a good head on your shoulders now for finding someone that's good for you and to you. You're not looking for perfection, either; you know that relationships take work and dedication from both partners. If problems come up with that special someone, you're perfectly willing to talk things out in a reasonable way and see if you can figure out how to fix it. But again, you're all about fairness and meeting each other halfway. If you sense an imbalance, you'll act fast to right it.
Jupiter trine PlutoFrom Apr 23 to May 22 | Exact: May 14, 2024
You could become the in-demand hot property during this four-month transit, receiving all kinds of invitations for dates, parties or at least flirtations with new and interested people. To let it go to your head would be a mistake; instead of getting comfy with your newly jammed social calendar, you should look for the deeper significance in your increased social life. Is it because you're any hotter, smarter or friendlier than you were before? No, probably not -- at least, not under the surface; at your core, you're still the same person you were a month or a year ago. But you may take big strides at this time toward personal betterment, because you've got a really good, insightful perspective on yourself and your own life now. Whatever you've been doing wrong when it comes to dating and romance, you can change it now; and whatever you've been doing right, you can emphasize. So don't just stop at being happy with your increased popularity, because popularity fades like the sunset. Look for the deeper meaning in whatever you experience at this time; you'll probably come up with something amazing about the big picture of your life.
Mars sextile MercuryFrom Apr 24 to Apr 29 | Exact: Apr 25, 2024
You're feeling positive and confident during the three weeks of this transit, which makes this a great time to get together with that special someone, or to start up an email flirtation. You're very in touch with your own opinions and perceptions of the world, but you're also able to listen to other people and respect their opinions as well. That's a great foundation for a new relationship! You'll make your potential sweetie feel great -- excited to hear what you have to say and eager to tell you what they think. You could have a real meeting of the minds now, with great, flowing conversations and even a fun, friendly debate or two. If you're attracted to someone long-distance, this transit could present you with the urge and the opportunity to go visit them, because you want to get out into the world and connect with people. Or, you might cover the distance via telephone or email. Anything that gets you talking and connects you with someone special is a good thing at this time, so by all means, speak up. Don't stay quiet if you're attracted to someone new; reach out and tell them how you feel.
Mars trine NeptuneFrom Apr 24 to May 2 | Exact: Apr 30, 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.

You're existing on a deep level of life during this one-year transit. As a result, you won't be interested in frivolous relationships, except perhaps occasionally, as a fun diversion from the intensity of your daily life. In general, though, you're more interested in connecting with someone with whom you can explore the bigger themes of life: what it all means, what your place in it might be and so on. And love! Love is a big source of questioning and interest during this time, especially since you're on a quest to find love and keep it around for a while. You'll be attracted to people who are as intellectually penetrating as you are. You want to talk about all the weightiest subjects, so if you go on a date with someone who wants to chitchat about the weather, you'll probably say your polite but firm goodbyes at the end of the evening. Going out to documentary films that can teach you something profound about the human condition would be a wonderfully thought- and conversation-provoking date for you at this time. You also might meet someone new in an unexpected place and end up staying up all night, pondering the folds and wrinkles of the universe.
Jupiter trine MercuryFrom Apr 30 to May 29 | Exact: May 8, 2024
Your best dates during the four months of this transit will involve conversation, because communication is highlighted for you now. Whether or not you'll make a lasting connection with someone special remains to be seen; the energy of this particular transit is less romantic than friendly. But hey, making new friends is good too, and friendship is a wonderful foundation for a romance. Maybe you'll make a new buddy, or maybe you'll start something that will get more intense and sensual over time. Either way, you'll definitely learn a lot by going out with people who are different from you. You may not have the same opinions as them, but you'll have a great time debating the issues, discussing your likes and dislikes and solidifying your own opinions as you delve into theirs. Since you're so open to learning now, dates that involve learning something new could also be really fun, such as attending a couples' dance lesson, a cooking class or a Pilates session. You and your potential sweetie can experience the lesson together and then go talk all about it afterward -- what you each saw and heard and felt, and what you thought about it all.
Sun trine VenusFrom May 1 to May 8 | Exact: May 6, 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.
Sun sextile MarsFrom May 5 to May 9 | Exact: May 9, 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!
Sun trine SunFrom May 8 to May 14 | Exact: May 10, 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.
Sun trine MercuryFrom May 11 to May 17 | Exact: May 16, 2024
You might meet your soul mate during this transit, or at least you'll feel as if your connection with that special someone is really unusual and precious. You're mentally tuned in to some subtle frequencies at this time, and if you go on a date or make contact with someone new, you're able to tune right in to who they are at a deep level. They'll feel very well understood by you, and you, in turn, might marvel at how well you two are connecting after just a conversation or two! How is it that you've waited this long to find each other and get to know each other? Well, the timing's just right during this week or two. Don't waste time second-guessing it; just go with the flow. Definitely talk to your potential sweetie a lot, because that's the best way to make that connection right now. You might even choose to delay your first date because the flow of emails, text messages and voice mails will be so titillating and fun! You'll have a great time exploring this new person and revealing yourself to them, so enjoy it. Your conversations could last late into the night, since neither of you will want to go home and hang up the phone.

Some lucky incident or unexpected occurrence could happen during this transit that will set the wheels in motion in your romantic life in a way that will affect you for some time. What could it be?? Hmm...maybe you should reach out and make contact with that potential sweetie you've had your eye on! You're definitely in the mood for good times and making a great, affectionate connection with someone you're really attracted to. You're not really in the mood to do hard work or anything that's dull or repetitive, and that's okay. This is a time for fun and flirtation. You could find out that that special someone is actually good for you and your life in a way that you couldn't have anticipated -- maybe they'll introduce you to someone who will help your career along, or maybe they've been someplace or done something that you're interested in for your own life. But whatever it is, it will seem like a cherry on top of this two-week-long cake. You create warmth and good times and harmony wherever you go. Love at first sight isn't out of the question, or at least instant attraction and infatuation!
Venus sextile MarsFrom May 12 to May 15 | Exact: May 15, 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.
Sun trine PlutoFrom May 12 to May 19 | Exact: May 17, 2024
If you make contact with someone new during this period or go out on a date, you can feel reasonably certain that this person is worth your time. You're in a frame of mind now to attract intense, honest, deep people and experiences, and you won't settle for light chitchat when getting to know someone. You'll want to dig deep and talk about the things that really matter to you -- life, death, anxiety, love, pain. You'll really impress your potential partner with your intelligence, your perceptiveness and your ability to get real, fast. You're in the mood to transform yourself -- to move to a higher level of personhood -- and you can do it through intense conversation: with yourself, via a journal; with that special someone, through emails, phone calls or a date; or even with a therapist, if you choose to take that route. You'll be drawn to intense conversations with anyone who will go down into the depths with you. Even if you don't end up making a lasting romantic connection, you'll still come through this week-or-two-long period feeling rejuvenated at a soul level and ready to continue looking for love with fresh eyes.
Venus trine SunFrom May 14 to May 19 | Exact: May 15, 2024
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.
Venus trine PlutoFrom May 17 to May 22 | Exact: May 21, 2024
A flirtation could turn into something more significant during this transit, because you're feeling things on a deep and powerful level and you're expressing your emotions in a magnetically compelling way. You could draw that potential sweetie in even more deeply than you already have because when you talk with them or meet up together, you'll just put out such a strong vibe of emotional depth and connectedness. They might not understand why they're so attracted to you, but they'll be attracted all the same! Or, if you haven't had your eye on anyone special up till now, this period could open your eyes to someone new. If you begin a relationship during this time, expect intensity -- emotional, physical and otherwise. You could feel magically connected, as if drawn together for some greater purpose that neither of you can understand but that you must serve. You'll put out a certain level of confidence that will be very seductive to that special someone; they'll be drawn to your inner, loving power that's coming out now, and they'll almost definitely want to come back for more.
Venus trine MercuryFrom May 19 to May 23 | Exact: May 20, 2024
Your mind is on pleasant things, your heart is light, and you're feeling great during this transit. You just don't want to dwell on anything that's less than pleasant and romantic, so this is a wonderful time to ask someone out on a date or get to know that potential sweetie better. You're in the mood for entertainment, so go see some live music or go out dancing. Let that special someone know how you feel about them! Your words are entirely in your command today, and you know just what to say to appeal to someone's romantic side. Basically, you can talk your way into just about anything you want! If that hottie has been resisting your advances lately, you might find that all of a sudden, they're returning your attraction. Even if no one in particular catches your eye during this time, it's still a great two-week period in which to have a lot of fun with your friends, and maybe make some new friends with potential for more. Parties and clubs will be especially fun for you, since you're feeling so gregarious and people-oriented. Dates to art galleries or bookstores will also be just your speed.
Sun trine UranusFrom May 24 to May 30 | Exact: May 29, 2024
Making contact with someone new during this period could be really fun and eye-opening for both of you, because you're letting your freak flag fly -- in a wonderful way! Like everyone else, you generally try to be 'socially acceptable' -- you keep your stranger thoughts and ideas to yourself and relate to people, especially ones you don't know, on a level you know they'll accept. But during this period of a week or two, you're feeling fun and frisky, and you might surprise even yourself with the things that will come out of your mouth! Your impulse now is to be spontaneous and go where the wind leads you, and doing just that will be the best way to deal with this transit. Don't fight the energy that's running like a current through you; instead, grab hold and ride. If you start something new with a special someone at this time, it could be a thrill a minute! Whether it will last remains to be seen; it could really go either way. At least you'll both have a great time in the moment, which is a good foundation for a long and exciting relationship. Your potential sweetie will be fascinated by your energy, your spontaneity and your inventive mind.
Mercury trine VenusFrom May 24 to May 27 | Exact: May 26, 2024
You're feeling amorous and you want to express your loving feelings, and during hits 10-day transit, you should feel free to do so. Your warm, affectionate feelings are on high, and you'll make that special someone feel great if you reach out to them now. If someone new has caught your eye, make contact; you'll come across as very friendly, generous and appealing. But this is a good time not just to make contact, but to go out with someone new. You're in a social, easygoing frame of mind, and you want to have a good time with old friends and new ones. If there's someone special that you've already been getting to know, this is a good time to introduce them to your friends and get the whole group together. Creativity will go over great now, so think of a fun, upbeat date for you and your potential sweetie, or send them an unusual email that tells them in your own, unique words how much you like them. Any advances you make during this transit have a great chance of being well-received, so put yourself out there! If it doesn't work out between you and that special someone, you're in a great mood, ready to pick yourself up again and move on.
Mercury sextile MarsFrom May 26 to May 28 | Exact: May 28, 2024
You can get to know someone really well during this 10-day transit, because your mind is sharp, your energy is on high and you're reaching out into the world in an active way. This is the perfect time to call someone up or email them and ask them out on a date. You could talk all night! You'll make a real impression on that special someone at this time, because you're feeling good, strong and confident, really centered and in tune with yourself. You won't play nice with them; you'll be yourself, which means that if you have any differences of opinion, you'll go ahead and say so. You're able to be tactful now, though, so you won't come across as combative, contrary or overly opinionated. Instead, you'll seem intelligent, because you are! Your mind is sharp and you're eager to make a mental connection. Will this be a meeting of the minds? Maybe so! So if someone catches your eye during this period, reach out to them. If no one special pops up, you can still make the most of this transit by going out with friends or even by updating your dating profile with all the clever things you'll dream up.
Venus trine UranusFrom May 27 to May 31 | Exact: May 30, 2024
Any flirtation you start up now might not last, but that's okay -- you're not really looking for The One right now. Instead, you're in the mood for something exciting, something unexpected. You're attracted to people you might not normally be into, because you've got a taste for something different and completely original. For that reason, you could be drawn to unreliable types who keep you guessing; or, you could be the one who shows up late for a date or acts ambivalent when that special someone confesses their attraction to you! And that's okay. You're your own person right now. As long as you don't make any promises that you can't keep, you'll be fine. And who knows? A flirtation begun now probably won't extend long-term, because you're less able than usual to incorporate excitement with harmony. Meaning, this could be the start of a very unusual and stimulating -- but short -- relationship. Or, it just could be a fun period in which you flirt it up with lots of different people and have spontaneous, unexpected encounters with strange and unusual folks who get your brain wheels turning!
Mercury trine SunFrom May 28 to May 30
Your mind and heart are clear during this two-week transit. You're able to look into your own soul as if looking into a pool of crystal-clear water; you can see down into your own depths, and you're in touch with what you're looking for in love. That makes this a great time to get in touch with that special someone. You'll also connect deeply with them, and they'll feel seen and heard in a rare and special way. You could end up spending hours talking with them, in person, on the phone or via email after email. You'll both be able to talk openly about your past experiences with love relationships, your hopes for the future and what you're looking for in a partner. If you don't end up matching up that well, so much the better; you've saved yourselves time and heartbreak by getting to the heart of the matter, fast. You're freed up to move on to the next possibility! But it's more likely that you will match up well with anyone you're attracted to during this period. Your instincts are humming, steering you in the right direction for love. Trust your gut reactions, and reach out to people and opportunities that come your way.
Uranus trine MercuryFrom May 29 to Dec 18 | Exact: 07/07/2024,10/29/2024
During this one-to-two year transit, your thirst for stimulating intellectual contact with a lover will increase to the point that it becomes a prerequisite to an ongoing relationship. If they can't turn on your mind, they won't be able to turn on any other part of you either, and you'll go your separate ways. Your intuition will also be humming right along during this period, so follow your instincts in love. Your unconscious mind will pick up on signals that will lead you toward people that have the kind of unique outlook you're seeking now. You want a lover who will excite you with their individual perspective, their crazy stories of things they've experienced in life that you've never even dreamed of. If you go out with someone and the conversation wanes, or if they give mundane answers to all your probing questions, you probably won't make it to date number two. Or if you do, it will be because you prodded, probed and provoked them into coming out of their shell! After all, everyone has a unique story to tell; you're just not in the mood to work too hard or wait too long to hear it.
Mercury trine PlutoFrom May 30 to Jun 2 | Exact: Jun 1, 2024
This is not a time for light flirtation; instead, it's a great time to get deep and intimate with someone, and share with them all the workings of your soul. You're in the mood for connection, real connection -- not superficial chitchat or witty banter. Ugh! You have no patience for that during this transit, so you might want to stay away from cocktail parties and the like. Of course, if you do end up going to one, you'll probably zero in on the person in the room who's in the same mood as you are, and you'll end up sitting in the corner with them for the rest of the evening, talking intensely about all the biggest and weightiest subjects of life. Anyone you're attracted to at this time is probably willing to go pretty deep with you. Don't be afraid to ask penetrating questions, ones that you might worry aren't appropriate with someone you just met. The likelihood is that you'll surprise and refresh them with your honesty, your powers of perception, your forthrightness. You'll broadcast the simple truth that you're not someone to be trifled with, and lightweights need not apply.
Mercury trine MercuryFrom May 31 to Jun 2
Even if you have opinions that don't match up with anyone else's right now, you'll still love exploring your diverging viewpoints. You're in the mood to find out what makes someone tick, so reach out to a potential sweetheart, and set up a date to do something that will spark conversation. See a movie, visit an art gallery or a museum, or go to a play or a lecture. You'll be amazed and intrigued by all the levels on which you two agree, and the ways in which your viewpoints differ! For you, during this two-week period, variety is the spice of life. You're not interested in finding your mental twin; instead, you want to get to know someone well, exactly as they are, and to communicate yourself to them in all your uniqueness and individuality. Any differences between you and that special someone will actually feel like bonding points, because you'll understand them so well and you'll feel so heard and accepted yourself. You should definitely feel free and open to discuss whatever comes into your head at this time, even heavier subjects like your past relationships, your family or your hopes and dreams for the future.
Mercury trine UranusFrom Jun 5 to Jun 7 | Exact: Jun 7, 2024
Anyone you reach out to during this time will surprise you, and vice versa; any date you go on won't stick to the normal prescribed parameters -- dinner and a movie, and polite conversation. No! For you, during this transit, it's all about the original and the pleasantly unexpected. Your mind and your intuitions will take you places you never thought you'd go, and you'll love it. Reach out to someone special, because your conversations will be interesting, to say the least, and you're in an intuitive space that will enable you to read between the lines and interpret what's not being said as well as what is spoken. And the best part is, you'll feel heard and understood by your date as well, because you're so easily able to put yourself into words at this time. All the unusual parts of your soul will be brought to light, and appreciated and admired. Instead of feeling like you'd better act 'normal' (whatever that means!), you'll feel confident in being exactly who you are. You'll really stimulate that special someone on an intellectual level, and hey -- that can often lead to something more consuming!
Jupiter trine UranusFrom Jun 11 to Jul 12 | Exact: Jul 3, 2024
You'll feel a strong need to break out of your normal routine during this transit, and it's a great time to do so. When it comes to dating, you might be tired of the same old, same old -- dinner and a movie, polite conversation, blah, blah, blah. Why not spice it up a little? Go for a day trip with your potential sweetie, antiquing in the country. Or if that's still too tame for your tastes, you could visit a monster truck rally together for some noise and action! Or leave it up to your date to think of something unique and exciting. You're probably attracted to unusual types now anyway, and they might have some great ideas for how to break out of the routine of dating. You might do things during these few months just for novelty's sake, which is okay; as long as you're safe about it. You're searching for inner truth at this time, and you can find it through your interactions with other people. Dates with people of a different culture will really open up your mind and put you in touch with your own past and upbringing. Your only homework during this time is to stay open to any and all opportunities that might come your way.
Saturn sextile SunFrom Jun 12 to Jul 16
In your daily life, things should run along well for these several months. You're feeling good in your work and at home, and your admirers will notice your calm self-confidence, your dedication and your hard work. After all, dating is supposed to be fun and flirty, but it's also great to impress people with your serious side -- the side of you that gets things done, that works hard to make your life a success, however you define it. That's just what's going on during this period. You'll shine at work, and the confidence and good feelings will brim over into your dating life. If there's someone who's caught your eye, you'll reach out to them, but you'll probably take it slow and steady -- and that's a good thing. You're not in a space to get swept off your feet right now, which is just fine; take the time to get to know someone new, and you'll make your love affair as much of a success as your career is becoming. If you take things one step at a time, you'll notice that good things come your way, seemingly effortlessly. It's not without trying; it's just that you're putting in the effort and reaping the results.
Venus sextile SaturnFrom Jun 15 to Jun 18 | Exact: Jun 18, 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.
Mercury sextile SaturnFrom Jun 16 to Jun 17 | Exact: Jun 17, 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 trine JupiterFrom Jun 16 to Jun 19 | Exact: Jun 18, 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 JupiterFrom Jun 16 to Jun 20 | Exact: Jun 19, 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.
Sun sextile SaturnFrom Jun 19 to Jun 23 | Exact: Jun 22, 2024
You'll come across as very mature and grounded during this time, so you'll attract people who are either similarly grounded, or who need a grounding influence in their life so they're drawn to your strength! In general, this is a great time to get to know someone new, because you're in a very sensible frame of mind. You won't expect too much from a first date, knowing they'll be awkward at best. And for that reason, you might even have more fun than usual, because you won't worry about whether this is The One or what kind of impression you're making. Instead, you'll be concerned with more practical matters: Is this someone I can get along with? Do they seem like someone I could know and like for a long time? You'll have your wits about you, so you won't let yourself get swept off your feet. No, this may not be the most fun, frolicsome week or two of your life, but you could make some really good, solid contacts during this time. In fact, if you find yourself attracted to someone past the first email or date during this transit, you can feel reasonably certain that they're worth getting to know better.

If you go out on a date during this period with someone new, you're sure to impress them with your array of friends, your sharp mind, your creative sensibility and your knack for attracting good luck and admirers everywhere you go! This period only comes around twice a year, so enjoy its influence. You're in a good mood at this time, but more than that, you've got an open mind, so it's the perfect time to make contact with someone new. You won't make any snap judgments; you'll be happy to take your time in getting to know them, and you'll appreciate any surprises they bring your way. Your tolerance and generosity of spirit will definitely impress them. Don't be surprised if you end up staying up late talking philosophy with someone special, because you'll be tuned in to your more elevated self -- the part of your personality that is concerned with issues of importance to you. You'll want to discuss your hopes and dreams and those of your date. Any connection you make at this time with a potential romantic partner will be an important one, because it will be as if there's no barrier guarding your soul; you're yourself, and you'll give them access to the true you.
Mercury trine MarsFrom Jun 24 to Jun 27 | Exact: Jun 26, 2024
You aren't afraid to speak up during this transit, in all applicable ways. Has someone special caught your eye? You'll feel little nervousness or hesitation about emailing them or calling them up. If you go on a date, you won't be afraid to talk openly about your viewpoints on any subject. This won't be due to contrariness or being aggressive about your opinions; you're still very able to be tactful when controversial subjects come up, such as politics or religion. But if the conversation stays on pleasant subjects, like romance, you'll be perfectly content. You want to make that mental connection with your potential sweetie, and this is the perfect two weeks during which to do so. You're highly charming, even gallant, at this time; your sweet, friendly, witty way of flirting will really put your future honey at ease. You're feeling passionate and enthusiastic about life in general, and your mood will be contagious to everyone around you. You'll probably find you have a lot in common with your date; even if you didn't, you'd still be able to find the few points of connection, because you're that in tune.
Mercury sextile PlutoFrom Jun 28 to Jun 30 | Exact: Jun 30, 2024
You want to know everything about that special someone -- every little thing about what makes them tick. You want to know their insecurities as well as their strengths; you want to learn about their past, and how it has shaped them to be who they are today. Anyone who won't let you probe deeply during this transit might not hold your interest for long, because you want to communicate at that deep level with someone. On the other hand, you'll really love mysteries at this time, so you might be intrigued by someone who refuses to let you in! But you're also highly persuasive, so you'll probably get them to open up sooner than they might have intended. You might even probe until you uncover their deepest, darkest secrets and fears -- good thing this transit is basically benign and beneficial! At the end of all this soul-exploration, you could feel really close with your potential sweetie, because you've gotten so intimate so fast. They could even start to rely on you for advice and support, because suddenly you'll know them so well, and all their limitations. Make sure that if you start something at this time, you're genuinely interested in seeing it through.

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.
Mars trine VenusFrom Jun 29 to Jul 8 | Exact: Jul 1, 2024
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.
Venus trine MarsFrom Jun 29 to Jul 3 | Exact: Jul 2, 2024
You're feeling confident in your ability to attract admirers, and in truth, you're especially magnetic during this transit. You could probably charm the badge off a cop! You're in the mood to schmooze, so you should definitely get out of the house. Parties are good, because there will be plenty of people there who will notice you and your attractive self. Though you're in the mood to flirt, you're also open to starting something special with just one person. Any relationship that you begin during this transit very well might last a long time, because it's such an auspicious way to start getting to know someone -- in a friendly, warm, flirty way that promises so much more. But even flirtations that don't go anywhere will be a lot of fun! You're the life of the party now, full of energy and witticisms and body language that will reach out to lots of admirers. If you go on a date, be creative about it; the traditional dinner and a movie would be fun, but so would a picnic in the park or a visit to an art museum. Anything that increases your ability to receive pleasure and give it back is great for you now.

You're feeling confident and energetic, and those qualities will make a good impression on that special someone if you reach out to them at this time. Which you should -- this is not a transit for sitting passively by while life runs ahead without you. You should be leading the pack during these three weeks! It's as if a new energy has infused your limbs, making you enthusiastic and energetic, and ready to reach out to that special someone. A date that combines physical activity with a get-to-know-you setting would be perfect; go bowling together or play pool, and your conversation will be as fun and vibrant as the game. If you feel restless during this time, you're less likely to let it frustrate you than you are to put it to good use. You might want to take an impromptu day trip out of town to satisfy your urge to roam; invite that hottie along as a fun, unusual date that will get you both loosened up and talking. If there's no one special on your horizon at this time, you'll still get a lot done around the house and at work, and you'll be motivated to work out. But wouldn't it be more fun to put your energies to use in a romantic realm? So reach out to someone special and have a good time.
Mars trine SunFrom Jul 4 to Jul 13 | Exact: Jul 6, 2024
You're feeling so vitally confident during this transit that it's the perfect time to initiate contact with that special someone you've been eyeballing, but the energy of this influence is even more conducive to putting your time into something you've already started. Have you been getting to know a potential sweetie? Then ask them out now. They're sure to respond to your energetic, sexy confidence and your up-for-anything attitude. A fun date for you at this time would be something active -- either playing a game or a sport together, or at least going someplace together where you can walk while you talk. You're very much in touch with your opinions and values now, and you're willing to talk about them in an open and animated way that won't offend anyone, but that will clearly represent who you are and what you stand for. And what better way to let that special someone get to know you better? The only way they would be turned off by your forwardness is if they're not looking for a mate who has so much personality as you do! If that's the case, then good riddance. However, it's much more likely that you'll have a great time and make a strong connection at this time.
Mercury sextile UranusFrom Jul 5 to Jul 7 | Exact: Jul 7, 2024
You could end up talking and laughing way into the night if you go out with someone new during this transit, because your mind is attuned to anything unique and extreme -- really funny, clever people, really strange and unusual likes and dislikes, and so on. Whatever it is, it's not too weird for you now. You're interested in human experience, and you want to get to know someone on a brand-new level that you haven't experienced before. You're curious, willing to ask questions and draw someone out of their shell. Even if you go out with someone at this time who's normally very shy, you'll probably have them laughing and chatting openly by the end of the evening! Unusual, creative conversation is the highlight for this period. You have a unique chance to connect with someone in a creative way. You're also at your comedic best, which will put your date at ease. You will definitely make an impression on someone new at this time, one that won't easily be forgotten; you're just too much of an original to fade from their memory! You can feel confident about reaching out and making a connection.
Venus sextile PlutoFrom Jul 6 to Jul 9 | Exact: Jul 9, 2024
You really want a romantic union during this transit -- not in a needy way, just in a way of knowing yourself and your desires. You want to be part of a loving, committed couple, and the fact that you're so in touch with those feelings at this time will help you make it happen. If you do get involved with someone now, don't be surprised if it's a really intense relationship, full of emotional highs and lows! You're all about digging deep into yourself and whoever you're involved with, and you'll have no patience for chitchat, coyness or general beating around the bush; so if your new special sweetie is a reserved type, they'll be in for a surprise. Your natural charisma and magnetism will help them to feel more comfortable with your probing, though. If you apply your penetrating mind to your potential lover or to yourself at this time, you'll be surprised at how you're unable to unlock parts of yourself and the other person that have been closed for some time. The good thing about the energy of this transit is that it makes you intense, but not so much so that you'll push people away. Instead, you'll probably bring someone closer.
Sun trine MarsFrom Jul 6 to Jul 12 | Exact: Jul 11, 2024
Your confidence is running high during this period. You're more able to be your authentic, positive, energetic self than usual. So go out and enjoy yourself. You'll make a great impression; your sweetie will be very attracted to your confidence and natural charisma. And hey, if you don't make a great impression on the one you're with, you could still attract someone else who's completely new and unexpected! This is definitely not a time to stay home organizing your sock drawer. You need to get out into the world and mingle, because your energies are on high. This energy only comes around twice a year, so make the most of it. If you do go on a date, you might not be satisfied with dinner and a movie, unless it's really spicy Thai food followed by a fast-paced action flick. You're all about creativity and action during this time, so why not ask that special someone to go canoeing with you, go throw a Frisbee in the park or go out salsa dancing together? You need to move it and shake it now! You'll probably have a strong sex drive during this time, too, so if the moment is right, steal those kisses from the one you admire. It could lead to something wonderful.
Venus trine NeptuneFrom Jul 7 to Jul 12 | Exact: Jul 11, 2024
If you're going to find your soul mate, this would be a good time to do it, because you're in a very sweet, tender, accepting and generous frame of mind, and you'll treat everyone around you with tender loving care. Of course, this transit also brings with it a healthy dose of unreality; you might make a really strong emotional bond with someone now, only to find out later that the relationship was really founded on a series of illusions. But even that's okay, because love itself, after all, is a sort of illusion; you can't touch it or smell it or see it, but you know it's there, and because of that you have faith in it and its power. That's the basic influence of this transit: your faith in love and your power to connect with another soul is heightened, and you're ready to reach out. So reach out. You'll be an incredibly selfless date, wanting to cater to your potential sweetie's every need and desire, so you'll make them feel great! It's a wonderful foundation for long-term potential in a romance. Just try not to be taken in by dishonest types or people who sense your willingness to serve and want to take advantage of you.

What do you want to change about yourself in regards to dating and finding the love you're looking for? Do you sense that you've been too pessimistic or unfocused, too passive, too insecure or inhibited or anything else, up till now? This three-week transit is giving you a prime opportunity to change all that. You've got a unique ability at this time to look honestly at yourself and assess your strengths and weaknesses, and then start to change yourself for the better. After all, though most of us talk about love in terms of magic (such as the concept of finding your soul mate) or about dating in terms of simple fun and flirtation, the process of finding a great date can -- and should! -- be more like a school assignment, albeit a fun one. The best relationships take effort and work, and the same is true of the flirtation or courtship stages. So it's a great idea to treat yourself as a project at this time, one that can be improved on. Set some goals for yourself regarding the dating game, and then work up a game plan for how you're going to meet them. You can make big strides at this time.
Mars trine MercuryFrom Jul 12 to Jul 21 | Exact: Jul 14, 2024
This is a great time to get to know someone new, because you'll really make an impression on them of exactly who you are and how you think. You'll impress them with your opinions, your candor, your intelligence. Plus, your mind is really sharp now, so you'll be able to read them well and get to know them even better than you might at some other time. It's likely that any flirtation you start up now will be fun and grow into something more, but if that special someone decides you're not the one for them after all, so much the better -- you've weeded out one more stepping stone on your way to finding the right one for you. It's much more likely that you'll find the interest to be very mutual. You'll probably find that you have a lot in common with your potential sweetie, but even if you don't, you'll still enjoy discussing all the ways in which you see things differently. Your emails back and forth or your conversations on the phone or in person will take on a bright, lively quality; you'll get into fun, spirited debates that will underscore the passionate, flirtatious energy running as an undercurrent between you.
Venus sextile UranusFrom Jul 15 to Jul 18 | Exact: Jul 18, 2024
You're in the mood for something new in your life, and you might seek it through dating and flirtation. You want to go out with someone completely unlike your usual type; you want to make a connection with someone that sets you on fire with excitement! Going out dancing might be extra fun for you now, because it allows you to feed off the energy of sweating bodies, moving together to the pulsing vibrations of the music. You might ask someone new to go on an impromptu day trip with you, or if it's nice out, you might play hooky from work, choosing instead to go swimming with that hottie you've had your eye on. Anything that breaks up your normal routine is a good thing at this time, and if you can enjoy the newness with someone special, so much the better. You're charged up with energy and you have an eye for the unusual, so you might not be much for commitment at this time. You're restless, and doing the same thing twice would bore you. As long as you don't make any promises you can't keep, you should be fine. This is a time to go out with lots of people and have a good time, and don't get too intimate with anyone.
Sun sextile PlutoFrom Jul 15 to Jul 19 | Exact: Jul 19, 2024
If there's someone special who has caught your eye, now is a good time to go after them, because you're in a highly charismatic frame of mind and your personal power is on high. But be forewarned: You could get obsessive about someone at this time. You're all about deep urges and intense experiences, so you won't be satisfied with small talk on a date or light, pleasant flirting. You want to get under the surface of things and find out what's really going on -- what this new person is really like, what makes them tick, what's their greatest fear, their deepest regret, their highest ambition... You could come on really strong, so let's hope the object of your desires can handle your intensity! But it's likely that they can; that they'll be attracted to you exactly because you're so intense and compelling. They'll be very sexually attracted to you right off, too, so make sure you don't get into anything you'll regret later. In general, though, this will be a great couple of weeks, because you'll feel as if you're on the edge of meeting someone amazing and making a wonderful connection.
Sun trine NeptuneFrom Jul 17 to Jul 23 | Exact: Jul 22, 2024
You'll be attracted to artistic and sensitive types during this period, because they will reflect how you're feeling within your soul. You're feeling even more compassionate than usual, and emotionally sensitive, which will make a wonderful impression on that special someone. You'll come across to them as a kind and caring soul. If you want to get to know someone new during this time, you'll do it at a deeper level than usual. No fun, flirty dates for you; you're interested in baring your soul to someone, and seeing if it matches up with theirs. Instead of going out for drinks at a noisy bar, you should ask your potential sweetie to accompany you to an art gallery or a poetry reading -- something that will stimulate your hearts and your creativity as well as your minds, and give you plenty of fodder for deep conversation. There is the possibility during this transit that you'll idealize someone new and special, which could lead to disillusionment in a week or two when you come down from your cloud and realize they're a real person with real flaws; but the comedown shouldn't be too dramatic or painful. In general, your instincts are right on now, so go with them.
Mercury trine SaturnFrom Jul 22 to Aug 17 | Exact: 07/28/2024,08/11/2024
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.

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 UranusFrom Jul 26 to Aug 4 | Exact: Aug 2, 2024
You are in the mood to break right out of your routine and experience something, and someone, new. You'll be attracted to some very unusual people during the three weeks of this transit; don't be surprised if you go on some dates with people you never would have thought in a million years that you'd be into! The best part is, you'll have a great time. You'll probably get up to some funny antics with whoever you choose to hang out with during this time; dinner-and-a-movie dates will be out the window in favor of anything active, anything different -- laughing your head off while racing Go-Karts, maybe, or taking a couples' swing dance lesson and getting to experience your potential sweetie on that physical level. Whatever inhibitions or hang-ups you may have regarding romance will also be tossed out the window during this period; you're like a snake that has shed its skin -- brand-new to the world, basking in the sunny light of possibility. You'll also have the unique ability at this time to tune out all the pessimism and the nay sayers in your life, so you can take great strides toward living in a new, freer way.
Sun sextile UranusFrom Jul 27 to Jul 31 | Exact: Jul 31, 2024
You're into group activities at this time, being around people who excite you and open you up to new ideas and all the possibilities of the universe. So it's a great time to go out with someone new, but don't limit yourself to just one! This two-week period is a great time to play the field, so to speak -- without being crass about it, of course. You'll attract lots of different kinds of people, and there's nothing wrong with talking with all of them, seeing who you match up best with, who excites you the most, who makes you the most nervous and so on. As long as you don't get too intimate with anyone, you'll have a great time talking, flirting, riffing new ideas and being generally fun and spontaneous. If you do go on a date, keep it public. You're in the mood to be out in the crowd, mingling with the masses, so parties, amusement parks and the like are all great venues to get to know someone new while keeping your eyes and your options open. Just take care not to step on anyone's toes. If you go to a party with your date, it's not fair to leave with someone else! Don't forget the rules of dating, and you'll have a great time during this period.

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.

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.

Some lucky incident or unexpected occurrence could happen during this transit that will set the wheels in motion in your romantic life in a way that will affect you for some time. What could it be?? Hmm...maybe you should reach out and make contact with that potential sweetie you've had your eye on! You're definitely in the mood for good times and making a great, affectionate connection with someone you're really attracted to. You're not really in the mood to do hard work or anything that's dull or repetitive, and that's okay. This is a time for fun and flirtation. You could find out that that special someone is actually good for you and your life in a way that you couldn't have anticipated -- maybe they'll introduce you to someone who will help your career along, or maybe they've been someplace or done something that you're interested in for your own life. But whatever it is, it will seem like a cherry on top of this two-week-long cake. You create warmth and good times and harmony wherever you go. Love at first sight isn't out of the question, or at least instant attraction and infatuation!

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.

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.

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.

Your mind is on pleasant things, your heart is light, and you're feeling great during this transit. You just don't want to dwell on anything that's less than pleasant and romantic, so this is a wonderful time to ask someone out on a date or get to know that potential sweetie better. You're in the mood for entertainment, so go see some live music or go out dancing. Let that special someone know how you feel about them! Your words are entirely in your command today, and you know just what to say to appeal to someone's romantic side. Basically, you can talk your way into just about anything you want! If that hottie has been resisting your advances lately, you might find that all of a sudden, they're returning your attraction. Even if no one in particular catches your eye during this time, it's still a great two-week period in which to have a lot of fun with your friends, and maybe make some new friends with potential for more. Parties and clubs will be especially fun for you, since you're feeling so gregarious and people-oriented. Dates to art galleries or bookstores will also be just your speed.

Beauty is enormous to you during this transit -- consuming and all-important, a conduit to your higher self. Physical beauty is one thing, but you'll also respond to inner beauty in a potential lover, and if you reach out and make contact, you'll feel as if your souls have connected. This is a really good time to go out with someone who has caught your eye, because you'll make a really dreamy, romantic, emotional bond. If you've already been getting to know someone special, you'll daydream about your relationship and all the possibilities it holds for the future of your love life. If you get a chance to get together with this person, you'll work to create a really romantic date -- you might cook them dinner at home and eat together by candlelight, or take them out on the lake for an evening canoe ride to watch the sun set. You want to be in their service, and you want to make them feel wonderful. You're highly sensitive at this time, more able than usual to intuit that special someone's feelings and needs and respond to them. You'll read even their subtlest cues, and treat them with great kindness and tenderness.

This won't not be the most wild, love- and excitement-filled transit. If you go out with someone during these weeks, don't expect to get swept off your feet, or to do the sweeping. Instead, you're more about discipline, practicality and sustained effort at this time. You're not necessarily going to run off to Vegas to marry that hottie you've had your eye on; no, instead, you'll get to know them in a slow and deliberate way, because your mind is on your future, on your needs and desires in a love relationship. You want to lay some really good groundwork for a long-term affair instead of just flirting and acting silly with some cutie pie that you'll forget about next week. You'll impress your potential sweetheart with your serious intentions and your sincere desire to find love; in fact, you'll project the vibe not of someone who's looking to find love, but to create it. That's a very sensible way to look at relationships, because even the best ones take conscious work and effort. This is an excellent time to put that in motion. If you decide to romance someone now, you'll do it in careful, deliberate steps designed to subtly knock their socks off.

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.
Sun trine VenusFrom Sep 4 to Sep 10 | Exact: Sep 8, 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.
Mercury trine SaturnFrom Sep 7 to Sep 11 | Exact: Sep 10, 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.
Mercury sextile JupiterFrom Sep 9 to Sep 11 | Exact: Sep 11, 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.
Sun trine SunFrom Sep 10 to Sep 16 | Exact: Sep 12, 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.
Sun trine MercuryFrom Sep 13 to Sep 19 | Exact: Sep 18, 2024
You might meet your soul mate during this transit, or at least you'll feel as if your connection with that special someone is really unusual and precious. You're mentally tuned in to some subtle frequencies at this time, and if you go on a date or make contact with someone new, you're able to tune right in to who they are at a deep level. They'll feel very well understood by you, and you, in turn, might marvel at how well you two are connecting after just a conversation or two! How is it that you've waited this long to find each other and get to know each other? Well, the timing's just right during this week or two. Don't waste time second-guessing it; just go with the flow. Definitely talk to your potential sweetie a lot, because that's the best way to make that connection right now. You might even choose to delay your first date because the flow of emails, text messages and voice mails will be so titillating and fun! You'll have a great time exploring this new person and revealing yourself to them, so enjoy it. Your conversations could last late into the night, since neither of you will want to go home and hang up the phone.

You're feeling amorous and you want to express your loving feelings, and during hits 10-day transit, you should feel free to do so. Your warm, affectionate feelings are on high, and you'll make that special someone feel great if you reach out to them now. If someone new has caught your eye, make contact; you'll come across as very friendly, generous and appealing. But this is a good time not just to make contact, but to go out with someone new. You're in a social, easygoing frame of mind, and you want to have a good time with old friends and new ones. If there's someone special that you've already been getting to know, this is a good time to introduce them to your friends and get the whole group together. Creativity will go over great now, so think of a fun, upbeat date for you and your potential sweetie, or send them an unusual email that tells them in your own, unique words how much you like them. Any advances you make during this transit have a great chance of being well-received, so put yourself out there! If it doesn't work out between you and that special someone, you're in a great mood, ready to pick yourself up again and move on.
Sun sextile NeptuneFrom Sep 18 to Sep 22 | Exact: Sep 22, 2024
You could make a really romantic, even spiritual connection with someone during this time, because your soul is tuned in to that level of existence and experience. Your compassionate side is at the forefront, and you'll make an impression on someone new as a really caring, kind and sensitive person. This is a great time for artistic or humanitarian dates -- go out with your potential sweetie to an art museum or a play, or work together at a soup kitchen for an afternoon. You'll be elbow-to-elbow with someone who might turn out to be really special to you. Music is also a great outlet for your soul during this week or two, so if you're not yet at the dating stage with someone, you could establish contact by asking them what music they've been listening to, or email them an MP3 of a song that's been touching your heart. This period is all about beauty and creativity, and emotional sensitivity to forces greater than yourself. It's a wonderful time to get to know someone new, because you'll get to know their soul as you reveal yours to them. As long as you make sure not to idealize that special someone to the point that you get the wrong impression of them, you'll make an inspiring connection.
Mercury trine SunFrom Sep 20 to Sep 22
Your mind and heart are clear during this two-week transit. You're able to look into your own soul as if looking into a pool of crystal-clear water; you can see down into your own depths, and you're in touch with what you're looking for in love. That makes this a great time to get in touch with that special someone. You'll also connect deeply with them, and they'll feel seen and heard in a rare and special way. You could end up spending hours talking with them, in person, on the phone or via email after email. You'll both be able to talk openly about your past experiences with love relationships, your hopes for the future and what you're looking for in a partner. If you don't end up matching up that well, so much the better; you've saved yourselves time and heartbreak by getting to the heart of the matter, fast. You're freed up to move on to the next possibility! But it's more likely that you will match up well with anyone you're attracted to during this period. Your instincts are humming, steering you in the right direction for love. Trust your gut reactions, and reach out to people and opportunities that come your way.
Mercury trine MercuryFrom Sep 23 to Sep 26
Even if you have opinions that don't match up with anyone else's right now, you'll still love exploring your diverging viewpoints. You're in the mood to find out what makes someone tick, so reach out to a potential sweetheart, and set up a date to do something that will spark conversation. See a movie, visit an art gallery or a museum, or go to a play or a lecture. You'll be amazed and intrigued by all the levels on which you two agree, and the ways in which your viewpoints differ! For you, during this two-week period, variety is the spice of life. You're not interested in finding your mental twin; instead, you want to get to know someone well, exactly as they are, and to communicate yourself to them in all your uniqueness and individuality. Any differences between you and that special someone will actually feel like bonding points, because you'll understand them so well and you'll feel so heard and accepted yourself. You should definitely feel free and open to discuss whatever comes into your head at this time, even heavier subjects like your past relationships, your family or your hopes and dreams for the future.

That special someone could see you almost as a love guru during this transit, because you're so attuned to the spiritual side of romance and human intimacy! You've got a really sensitive touch at this time, so if your potential sweetie is a shy type, they'll blossom slowly but surely under your guidance. You're able to connect with them at a subtle level; you'll read all their cues, not just the obvious, surface-level ones but the unconscious or body-level ones too. You're likely to get a more holistic and more generous picture of someone new at this time than would normally be possible. You're not feeling judgmental; instead, you're accepting, letting experience and personality wash over you. You're like a rock in a riverbed, made smooth by the water that rushes over and around it. No wonder you'll come across as an enlightened being to that special someone! You probably feel calm and centered deep down in your soul at this time, in touch with the fact that love is out there, waiting for you to tap into it. So tap away. You've got a head full of creative ideas for dates, and a heart full of goodness and wonder for your future sweetie to enjoy.

You're feeling confident in your ability to attract admirers, and in truth, you're especially magnetic during this transit. You could probably charm the badge off a cop! You're in the mood to schmooze, so you should definitely get out of the house. Parties are good, because there will be plenty of people there who will notice you and your attractive self. Though you're in the mood to flirt, you're also open to starting something special with just one person. Any relationship that you begin during this transit very well might last a long time, because it's such an auspicious way to start getting to know someone -- in a friendly, warm, flirty way that promises so much more. But even flirtations that don't go anywhere will be a lot of fun! You're the life of the party now, full of energy and witticisms and body language that will reach out to lots of admirers. If you go on a date, be creative about it; the traditional dinner and a movie would be fun, but so would a picnic in the park or a visit to an art museum. Anything that increases your ability to receive pleasure and give it back is great for you now.
Venus sextile VenusFrom Oct 6 to Oct 9
You won't have to put much effort into feeling great and looking your best during this transit, because you're lit from the inside with a glow of warmth and affection. You want to reach out to everyone -- friends, family, and especially that special someone whom you've had your eye on. You stand a really good chance during these couple of weeks to start up a new flirtation or even a new romance. You're in the mood for fun, for beauty, for affection, so treat yourself -- get a massage, buy some new clothes or do something else that will make you feel relaxed and attractive. If you go out with someone new, you'll want to indulge them in the same wonderful way you're indulging yourself. They'll definitely enjoy the VIP treatment! You're putting out some wonderful vibes at this time, of genuine warmth and care. For this reason, you and that special someone could make steps toward getting serious, because they'll know that you're for real. Or you might decide to keep a flirtation light, because this transit is all about having fun and being lighthearted. It's up to you whether you take things to a deeper level; either way, you'll have a great time.

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.
Venus sextile SunFrom Oct 9 to Oct 12
You could start a really sweet and affectionate romance during this period. You're primed for love, and social activity is high on your list of things to do. There's an extra spark to your personality at this time that everyone around you will notice, so you should capitalize on this influence. Your energy has been boosted by the loving power of Venus, the Love Planet; you're feeling more in touch with yourself than usual and more generous toward the people around you. You want to reach out and forge a bond. Whoever it is that has caught your eye will be very impressed with you, so make contact with them. Better yet, ask them out. Do something fun and flirty; go to a party together, or to the park on a sunny day. You want to be out and about, among the people, and that's where you'll shine brightest. You could fall for someone at this time who will help you reach all your hopes and dreams, because this is a lucky influence -- your chances of meeting your match are high, and so are the chances that they'll be good for you and your life in an active way.
Venus sextile PlutoFrom Oct 12 to Oct 15 | Exact: Oct 15, 2024
You really want a romantic union during this transit -- not in a needy way, just in a way of knowing yourself and your desires. You want to be part of a loving, committed couple, and the fact that you're so in touch with those feelings at this time will help you make it happen. If you do get involved with someone now, don't be surprised if it's a really intense relationship, full of emotional highs and lows! You're all about digging deep into yourself and whoever you're involved with, and you'll have no patience for chitchat, coyness or general beating around the bush; so if your new special sweetie is a reserved type, they'll be in for a surprise. Your natural charisma and magnetism will help them to feel more comfortable with your probing, though. If you apply your penetrating mind to your potential lover or to yourself at this time, you'll be surprised at how you're unable to unlock parts of yourself and the other person that have been closed for some time. The good thing about the energy of this transit is that it makes you intense, but not so much so that you'll push people away. Instead, you'll probably bring someone closer.

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.

Whatever your goals might be in terms of dating and romance, this transit, which lasts about three weeks, offers you a wonderful opportunity to really make things happen for yourself. You're in a position to develop yourself in a powerful and positive way, whatever that means for you. Do you need to develop more confidence in regards to dating? Do you need to be more sensitive to your potential sweethearts and their needs? Or do you need to build up your self-esteem and learn to make a powerful impression on the person you're interested in? Whatever it is that's lacking, you'll be able to spot it now and deal with it effectively. This might not be a snap -- you might have to work hard to gravitate to a new level within yourself and your own consciousness -- but it's work that's worth it, and you know it. You're willing and able to put in the effort, because you know it'll pay off later. This period may or may not mark the beginning of a new flirtation; it might be more about you spending time with yourself, figuring out where you're going from here. But however you spend it, you'll get good work done that will help you in the future.

You're in the mood for something new in your life, and you might seek it through dating and flirtation. You want to go out with someone completely unlike your usual type; you want to make a connection with someone that sets you on fire with excitement! Going out dancing might be extra fun for you now, because it allows you to feed off the energy of sweating bodies, moving together to the pulsing vibrations of the music. You might ask someone new to go on an impromptu day trip with you, or if it's nice out, you might play hooky from work, choosing instead to go swimming with that hottie you've had your eye on. Anything that breaks up your normal routine is a good thing at this time, and if you can enjoy the newness with someone special, so much the better. You're charged up with energy and you have an eye for the unusual, so you might not be much for commitment at this time. You're restless, and doing the same thing twice would bore you. As long as you don't make any promises you can't keep, you should be fine. This is a time to go out with lots of people and have a good time, and don't get too intimate with anyone.

You're in such a harmonious personal space during this transit that you should definitely share the energy with someone special.

Any insecurities you might normally have regarding dating or connecting with someone new are soothed during this one-and-a-half-week period. You feel calmly confident, and tuned in to the loving vibes of the universe. You're easily affectionate now, and you'll impress a potential sweetie with your ability and desire to connect with them on a fun yet intimate level. This transit is all about the possibility of love and the expression of your romantic feelings, so if you're feeling strong and sure about someone, go ahead and say so. It could have a great effect, and bump your relationship up to that next level. You're in no mood to argue at this time, so you'll be a great host or date, because you'll smooth over any awkward silence or potentially controversial subject. Feel free to introduce a potential lover to your friends, and get their opinion on this special new person in your life.

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 MarsFrom Oct 23 to Oct 27 | Exact: Oct 26, 2024
You aren't afraid to speak up during this transit, in all applicable ways. Has someone special caught your eye? You'll feel little nervousness or hesitation about emailing them or calling them up. If you go on a date, you won't be afraid to talk openly about your viewpoints on any subject. This won't be due to contrariness or being aggressive about your opinions; you're still very able to be tactful when controversial subjects come up, such as politics or religion. But if the conversation stays on pleasant subjects, like romance, you'll be perfectly content. You want to make that mental connection with your potential sweetie, and this is the perfect two weeks during which to do so. You're highly charming, even gallant, at this time; your sweet, friendly, witty way of flirting will really put your future honey at ease. You're feeling passionate and enthusiastic about life in general, and your mood will be contagious to everyone around you. You'll probably find you have a lot in common with your date; even if you didn't, you'd still be able to find the few points of connection, because you're that in tune.

You feel vital and in touch with yourself during this one-week transit, connected with all the parts of your personality that are the best and brightest.

You're talkative now, able both to communicate yourself and what you're looking for in a mate as well as to listen to someone else and help them feel heard and supported. You can make a great connection with someone at this time if you want. Anyone you reach out to during this period will love talking with you, because you're so able to understand them and to access their inner feelings and thoughts. You're able to do the same with yourself. You might stay up all night talking to that special someone on the phone, or exchanging email after email! You'll talk about your past relationships and your hopes for the future, and it will all help you to understand each other and yourselves better. What a great, friendly, energetic foundation for a relationship. Especially if you're ordinarily shy, take this opportunity to reach out and connect.

You want to know everything about that special someone -- every little thing about what makes them tick. You want to know their insecurities as well as their strengths; you want to learn about their past, and how it has shaped them to be who they are today. Anyone who won't let you probe deeply during this transit might not hold your interest for long, because you want to communicate at that deep level with someone. On the other hand, you'll really love mysteries at this time, so you might be intrigued by someone who refuses to let you in! But you're also highly persuasive, so you'll probably get them to open up sooner than they might have intended. You might even probe until you uncover their deepest, darkest secrets and fears -- good thing this transit is basically benign and beneficial! At the end of all this soul-exploration, you could feel really close with your potential sweetie, because you've gotten so intimate so fast. They could even start to rely on you for advice and support, because suddenly you'll know them so well, and all their limitations. Make sure that if you start something at this time, you're genuinely interested in seeing it through.

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.

Make that contact, because you're in a wonderful frame of mind for friendship or something more. You're in a soft, generous mood; you're ready to accept anything and anyone, and you'll naturally encourage the best parts of everyone you're in contact with to come to the forefront. A perfect date for you during this period would be one that included good food, candlelight, fine wine and excellent conversation with someone special. Your communicative powers are well-honed right now, so you should use them! Email or call that hottie and ask them out; or if it's not the right time for that, get an online conversation going. You'll be surprised at how intimate you can get with someone just through a few emails and text messages. Love and affection are definitely in the air with this transit; you just feel open to all the sweet possibilities, like a kid in a candy store. This is a wonderful time to go out with someone new or deepen an existing relationship. You'll gaze into your potential sweetie's eyes and you'll see a promise for the future... And they'll see affection and support in yours. What a match! Make it happen.
Mercury sextile UranusFrom Nov 6 to Nov 9 | Exact: Nov 9, 2024
You could end up talking and laughing way into the night if you go out with someone new during this transit, because your mind is attuned to anything unique and extreme -- really funny, clever people, really strange and unusual likes and dislikes, and so on. Whatever it is, it's not too weird for you now. You're interested in human experience, and you want to get to know someone on a brand-new level that you haven't experienced before. You're curious, willing to ask questions and draw someone out of their shell. Even if you go out with someone at this time who's normally very shy, you'll probably have them laughing and chatting openly by the end of the evening! Unusual, creative conversation is the highlight for this period. You have a unique chance to connect with someone in a creative way. You're also at your comedic best, which will put your date at ease. You will definitely make an impression on someone new at this time, one that won't easily be forgotten; you're just too much of an original to fade from their memory! You can feel confident about reaching out and making a connection.
Sun trine MarsFrom Nov 6 to Nov 12 | Exact: Nov 11, 2024
Your confidence is running high during this period. You're more able to be your authentic, positive, energetic self than usual. So go out and enjoy yourself. You'll make a great impression; your sweetie will be very attracted to your confidence and natural charisma. And hey, if you don't make a great impression on the one you're with, you could still attract someone else who's completely new and unexpected! This is definitely not a time to stay home organizing your sock drawer. You need to get out into the world and mingle, because your energies are on high. This energy only comes around twice a year, so make the most of it. If you do go on a date, you might not be satisfied with dinner and a movie, unless it's really spicy Thai food followed by a fast-paced action flick. You're all about creativity and action during this time, so why not ask that special someone to go canoeing with you, go throw a Frisbee in the park or go out salsa dancing together? You need to move it and shake it now! You'll probably have a strong sex drive during this time, too, so if the moment is right, steal those kisses from the one you admire. It could lead to something wonderful.
Venus trine SaturnFrom Nov 9 to Nov 14 | Exact: Nov 13, 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 SunFrom Nov 11 to Nov 15
You're in a social, positive frame of mind, and ready to connect. You're feeling great, in fact, so spread the wealth! Don't hesitate to email or call someone who's special to you. You'll impress them with your supportive, fun, easygoing self, and you'll make a real impact on them. You're feeling really connected with yourself and others. Your individuality is on display in the best way, and will actually be highlighted by being around other people. Don't be surprised if you find your email Inbox full of messages from interested admirers, and your voicemail jammed with calls from people who want to get to know you better! You're feeling so positive and easygoing that you'll just put other people at ease, so this is a great time for a date. Make it something friendly and simple -- a walk by the lake, maybe, if you're meeting someone brand-new, or lunch at a little cafe where you can enjoy your conversation as much as the food. Don't miss any opportunity to socialize. Even if you don't meet The One during this period, you could make some lasting friendships -- which can be just as good.
Venus sextile JupiterFrom Nov 11 to Nov 14 | Exact: Nov 14, 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're drawn to people with values -- people who live according to strong moral codes, people who command your respect.
Sun sextile MercuryFrom Nov 14 to Nov 18 | Exact: Nov 17, 2024
Your unique personality and individuality are shining during this one-week period, which makes it a wonderful time to get in touch with someone new. You're in a great space to impress just about anyone, and you're open to unusual ideas and different types of people. Your mind is humming and your personality is sparkling; if you were a car, you'd be fresh from a tune-up and a detail wash, and ready to go! You command respect right now, and you'll draw people to you with your charisma and your charm. That's right -- your communicative ease will translate during this period to an effervescent appeal that will delight your admirers. So if you're normally shy, take advantage of this transit! Write an email that will showcase your unique wit and perspective; ask that special someone out on a date, and make it an activity that encourages conversation. Something fun and lively is just up your alley; live music, a Bingo game, whatever it is, as long as it's out and among the people -- and not too noisy to get to know each other -- you'll both have a great time. Don't be surprised if your conversation lasts long past time to go home.
Sun sextile PlutoFrom Nov 15 to Nov 19 | Exact: Nov 18, 2024
If there's someone special who has caught your eye, now is a good time to go after them, because you're in a highly charismatic frame of mind and your personal power is on high. But be forewarned: You could get obsessive about someone at this time. You're all about deep urges and intense experiences, so you won't be satisfied with small talk on a date or light, pleasant flirting. You want to get under the surface of things and find out what's really going on -- what this new person is really like, what makes them tick, what's their greatest fear, their deepest regret, their highest ambition... You could come on really strong, so let's hope the object of your desires can handle your intensity! But it's likely that they can; that they'll be attracted to you exactly because you're so intense and compelling. They'll be very sexually attracted to you right off, too, so make sure you don't get into anything you'll regret later. In general, though, this will be a great couple of weeks, because you'll feel as if you're on the edge of meeting someone amazing and making a wonderful connection.
Uranus trine SunFrom Nov 18 to Apr 9
You may not make a long-term romantic connection during this one-year transit, but you'll certainly have a good time, and you'll make a great impression on anyone you go out with. You're very much yourself during this period; any insecurities you may have suffered from in the past suddenly seem insignificant. You're happy to be the exact, unique person that you are, and to let others get to know you as such. You'll feel a sense of personal power that will translate to other people as natural charisma, so don't be surprised if you collect admirers and invitations during this time! The reason these might not turn into a long-term love affair, however, is that you're feeling more friendly than romantic. Unless there's a concurrent transit that's strongly romantic and attachment-focused, you'll be more interested in making new friends than in taking a lover. Group activities are right up your alley, so to go parties and night clubs where you can interact with lots of different people in a single venue. You're attracted to people who are as unique and unusual as you are, and you deserve to have some fun.
Mars sextile UranusFrom Nov 22 to Dec 20
Don't stay at home during this three-week transit -- but you probably don't need to be prompted on that score! You're feeling restless and energetic, and more than ready for something new and fun in your life. Could that be a new and fun special someone? Could be -- you're feeling adventurous and daring, willing to reach out to that hottie you've had your eye on, even if they're not your normal type. You've got a taste in your mouth for the unusual, so you could end up accepting dates with some strange and interesting people. That's a good thing, as this transit is all about opening you up to new experiences. You want to follow your impulses instead of following the plan. If you're normally a careful planner, this should be an eventful and enlightening three weeks. Your dates will be excited by your unpredictable nature at this time, even if they find it a little frustrating to try to pin you down. But you don't want to be pinned down, or held back! You want to be free, to have fun, to follow your instincts and wherever experience leads you. And so you should.
Venus sextile MarsFrom Nov 25 to Nov 28 | Exact: Nov 27, 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.
Sun sextile UranusFrom Nov 26 to Nov 30 | Exact: Nov 30, 2024
You're into group activities at this time, being around people who excite you and open you up to new ideas and all the possibilities of the universe. So it's a great time to go out with someone new, but don't limit yourself to just one! This two-week period is a great time to play the field, so to speak -- without being crass about it, of course. You'll attract lots of different kinds of people, and there's nothing wrong with talking with all of them, seeing who you match up best with, who excites you the most, who makes you the most nervous and so on. As long as you don't get too intimate with anyone, you'll have a great time talking, flirting, riffing new ideas and being generally fun and spontaneous. If you do go on a date, keep it public. You're in the mood to be out in the crowd, mingling with the masses, so parties, amusement parks and the like are all great venues to get to know someone new while keeping your eyes and your options open. Just take care not to step on anyone's toes. If you go to a party with your date, it's not fair to leave with someone else! Don't forget the rules of dating, and you'll have a great time during this period.
Venus trine PlutoFrom Nov 30 to Dec 5 | Exact: Dec 4, 2024
A flirtation could turn into something more significant during this transit, because you're feeling things on a deep and powerful level and you're expressing your emotions in a magnetically compelling way. You could draw that potential sweetie in even more deeply than you already have because when you talk with them or meet up together, you'll just put out such a strong vibe of emotional depth and connectedness. They might not understand why they're so attracted to you, but they'll be attracted all the same! Or, if you haven't had your eye on anyone special up till now, this period could open your eyes to someone new. If you begin a relationship during this time, expect intensity -- emotional, physical and otherwise. You could feel magically connected, as if drawn together for some greater purpose that neither of you can understand but that you must serve. You'll put out a certain level of confidence that will be very seductive to that special someone; they'll be drawn to your inner, loving power that's coming out now, and they'll almost definitely want to come back for more.
Venus sextile NeptuneFrom Dec 4 to Dec 7 | Exact: Dec 7, 2024
Beauty is enormous to you during this transit -- consuming and all-important, a conduit to your higher self. Physical beauty is one thing, but you'll also respond to inner beauty in a potential lover, and if you reach out and make contact, you'll feel as if your souls have connected. This is a really good time to go out with someone who has caught your eye, because you'll make a really dreamy, romantic, emotional bond. If you've already been getting to know someone special, you'll daydream about your relationship and all the possibilities it holds for the future of your love life. If you get a chance to get together with this person, you'll work to create a really romantic date -- you might cook them dinner at home and eat together by candlelight, or take them out on the lake for an evening canoe ride to watch the sun set. You want to be in their service, and you want to make them feel wonderful. You're highly sensitive at this time, more able than usual to intuit that special someone's feelings and needs and respond to them. You'll read even their subtlest cues, and treat them with great kindness and tenderness.

You could end up talking and laughing way into the night if you go out with someone new during this transit, because your mind is attuned to anything unique and extreme -- really funny, clever people, really strange and unusual likes and dislikes, and so on. Whatever it is, it's not too weird for you now. You're interested in human experience, and you want to get to know someone on a brand-new level that you haven't experienced before.

Venus trine UranusFrom Dec 10 to Dec 15 | Exact: Dec 14, 2024
Any flirtation you start up now might not last, but that's okay -- you're not really looking for The One right now. Instead, you're in the mood for something exciting, something unexpected. You're attracted to people you might not normally be into, because you've got a taste for something different and completely original. For that reason, you could be drawn to unreliable types who keep you guessing; or, you could be the one who shows up late for a date or acts ambivalent when that special someone confesses their attraction to you! And that's okay. You're your own person right now. As long as you don't make any promises that you can't keep, you'll be fine. And who knows? A flirtation begun now probably won't extend long-term, because you're less able than usual to incorporate excitement with harmony. Meaning, this could be the start of a very unusual and stimulating -- but short -- relationship. Or, it just could be a fun period in which you flirt it up with lots of different people and have spontaneous, unexpected encounters with strange and unusual folks who get your brain wheels turning!
Sun trine SaturnFrom Dec 18 to Dec 24 | Exact: Dec 23, 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.
Sun sextile JupiterFrom Dec 21 to Dec 25 | Exact: Dec 24, 2024
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.
Mars trine NeptuneFrom Dec 31 to Jan 17 | Exact: Jan 5, 2025
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.
Venus sextile SaturnFrom Jan 1 to Jan 5 | Exact: Jan 4, 2025
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 trine JupiterFrom Jan 1 to Jan 7 | Exact: Jan 6, 2025
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.
Uranus sextile MarsFrom Jan 4 to Feb 25
You've got a new sense of energy and excitement during this one-year transit. You know what you want in love and you want to get out into the world and find it! You're probably not willing to compromise on your needs, so if you go on a date with someone who ends up not meeting your list of criteria, it's sayonara, baby. You don't have time now to dally around with someone who's not really what you're looking for -- not because you're actually running out of time, but because your restless spirit won't allow you to sit still unless there's a really good reason! You might not get involved with anyone long-term during this period; instead, you'll hop around a lot, trying out all different kinds of dates and people. If someone does happen to stick in your life, it will happen because they're a unique and spontaneous soul who is willing and able to give you the freedom you require. The good news is, you won't make any promises you can't keep. During this period, you'll do what you say you'll do, because you're unashamedly yourself now. Whatever impulses you have toward new and interesting people, you'll follow them.
Sun sextile MarsFrom Jan 5 to Jan 9 | Exact: Jan 9, 2025
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!
Mercury trine SaturnFrom Jan 6 to Jan 10 | Exact: Jan 9, 2025
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.
Mercury sextile JupiterFrom Jan 8 to Jan 10 | Exact: Jan 10, 2025
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 sextile PlutoFrom Jan 10 to Jan 22 | Exact: Jan 12, 2025
Whatever your goals might be in terms of dating and romance, this transit, which lasts about three weeks, offers you a wonderful opportunity to really make things happen for yourself. You're in a position to develop yourself in a powerful and positive way, whatever that means for you. Do you need to develop more confidence in regards to dating? Do you need to be more sensitive to your potential sweethearts and their needs? Or do you need to build up your self-esteem and learn to make a powerful impression on the person you're interested in? Whatever it is that's lacking, you'll be able to spot it now and deal with it effectively. This might not be a snap -- you might have to work hard to gravitate to a new level within yourself and your own consciousness -- but it's work that's worth it, and you know it. You're willing and able to put in the effort, because you know it'll pay off later. This period may or may not mark the beginning of a new flirtation; it might be more about you spending time with yourself, figuring out where you're going from here. But however you spend it, you'll get good work done that will help you in the future.
Sun trine PlutoFrom Jan 12 to Jan 18 | Exact: Jan 16, 2025
If you make contact with someone new during this period or go out on a date, you can feel reasonably certain that this person is worth your time. You're in a frame of mind now to attract intense, honest, deep people and experiences, and you won't settle for light chitchat when getting to know someone. You'll want to dig deep and talk about the things that really matter to you -- life, death, anxiety, love, pain. You'll really impress your potential partner with your intelligence, your perceptiveness and your ability to get real, fast. You're in the mood to transform yourself -- to move to a higher level of personhood -- and you can do it through intense conversation: with yourself, via a journal; with that special someone, through emails, phone calls or a date; or even with a therapist, if you choose to take that route. You'll be drawn to intense conversations with anyone who will go down into the depths with you. Even if you don't end up making a lasting romantic connection, you'll still come through this week-or-two-long period feeling rejuvenated at a soul level and ready to continue looking for love with fresh eyes.

You could make a really romantic, even spiritual connection with someone during this time, because your soul is tuned in to that level of existence and experience. Your compassionate side is at the forefront, and you'll make an impression on someone new as a really caring, kind and sensitive person. This is a great time for artistic or humanitarian dates -- go out with your potential sweetie to an art museum or a play, or work together at a soup kitchen for an afternoon. You'll be elbow-to-elbow with someone who might turn out to be really special to you. Music is also a great outlet for your soul during this week or two, so if you're not yet at the dating stage with someone, you could establish contact by asking them what music they've been listening to, or email them an MP3 of a song that's been touching your heart. This period is all about beauty and creativity, and emotional sensitivity to forces greater than yourself. It's a wonderful time to get to know someone new, because you'll get to know their soul as you reveal yours to them. As long as you make sure not to idealize that special someone to the point that you get the wrong impression of them, you'll make an inspiring connection.
Saturn sextile VenusFrom Jan 16 to Mar 1 | Exact: Jan 26, 2025
You'll be very practical about love during this transit. You're perfectly willing to meet someone halfway, but you're not going to bend over backwards to meet their needs if they seem selfish to you, as if they're not going to meet yours in return. You've got a realistic perspective at this time: You know that there's plenty of fish in the sea, so you don't need to waste time on anyone who's not going to hold up their end of the relationship. Thank goodness! While that's not the most romantic perspective, it's actually a very healthy and useful one. Any relationship that buds during this period and sticks is likely to last awhile, because you've got a good head on your shoulders now for finding someone that's good for you and to you. You're not looking for perfection, either; you know that relationships take work and dedication from both partners. If problems come up with that special someone, you're perfectly willing to talk things out in a reasonable way and see if you can figure out how to fix it. But again, you're all about fairness and meeting each other halfway. If you sense an imbalance, you'll act fast to right it.
Venus sextile VenusFrom Jan 18 to Jan 23 | Exact: Jan 19, 2025
You won't have to put much effort into feeling great and looking your best during this transit, because you're lit from the inside with a glow of warmth and affection. You want to reach out to everyone -- friends, family, and especially that special someone whom you've had your eye on. You stand a really good chance during these couple of weeks to start up a new flirtation or even a new romance. You're in the mood for fun, for beauty, for affection, so treat yourself -- get a massage, buy some new clothes or do something else that will make you feel relaxed and attractive. If you go out with someone new, you'll want to indulge them in the same wonderful way you're indulging yourself. They'll definitely enjoy the VIP treatment! You're putting out some wonderful vibes at this time, of genuine warmth and care. For this reason, you and that special someone could make steps toward getting serious, because they'll know that you're for real. Or you might decide to keep a flirtation light, because this transit is all about having fun and being lighthearted. It's up to you whether you take things to a deeper level; either way, you'll have a great time.
Mercury sextile MarsFrom Jan 19 to Jan 21 | Exact: Jan 21, 2025
You can get to know someone really well during this 10-day transit, because your mind is sharp, your energy is on high and you're reaching out into the world in an active way. This is the perfect time to call someone up or email them and ask them out on a date. You could talk all night! You'll make a real impression on that special someone at this time, because you're feeling good, strong and confident, really centered and in tune with yourself. You won't play nice with them; you'll be yourself, which means that if you have any differences of opinion, you'll go ahead and say so. You're able to be tactful now, though, so you won't come across as combative, contrary or overly opinionated. Instead, you'll seem intelligent, because you are! Your mind is sharp and you're eager to make a mental connection. Will this be a meeting of the minds? Maybe so! So if someone catches your eye during this period, reach out to them. If no one special pops up, you can still make the most of this transit by going out with friends or even by updating your dating profile with all the clever things you'll dream up.
Mars trine MarsFrom Jan 20 to Feb 13 | Exact: Feb 3, 2025
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.
Venus sextile SunFrom Jan 22 to Jan 27 | Exact: Jan 23, 2025
You could start a really sweet and affectionate romance during this period. You're primed for love, and social activity is high on your list of things to do. There's an extra spark to your personality at this time that everyone around you will notice, so you should capitalize on this influence. Your energy has been boosted by the loving power of Venus, the Love Planet; you're feeling more in touch with yourself than usual and more generous toward the people around you. You want to reach out and forge a bond. Whoever it is that has caught your eye will be very impressed with you, so make contact with them. Better yet, ask them out. Do something fun and flirty; go to a party together, or to the park on a sunny day. You want to be out and about, among the people, and that's where you'll shine brightest. You could fall for someone at this time who will help you reach all your hopes and dreams, because this is a lucky influence -- your chances of meeting your match are high, and so are the chances that they'll be good for you and your life in an active way.
Sun trine UranusFrom Jan 23 to Jan 29 | Exact: Jan 28, 2025
Making contact with someone new during this period could be really fun and eye-opening for both of you, because you're letting your freak flag fly -- in a wonderful way! Like everyone else, you generally try to be 'socially acceptable' -- you keep your stranger thoughts and ideas to yourself and relate to people, especially ones you don't know, on a level you know they'll accept. But during this period of a week or two, you're feeling fun and frisky, and you might surprise even yourself with the things that will come out of your mouth! Your impulse now is to be spontaneous and go where the wind leads you, and doing just that will be the best way to deal with this transit. Don't fight the energy that's running like a current through you; instead, grab hold and ride. If you start something new with a special someone at this time, it could be a thrill a minute! Whether it will last remains to be seen; it could really go either way. At least you'll both have a great time in the moment, which is a good foundation for a long and exciting relationship. Your potential sweetie will be fascinated by your energy, your spontaneity and your inventive mind.
Mercury trine PlutoFrom Jan 23 to Jan 26 | Exact: Jan 26, 2025
This is not a time for light flirtation; instead, it's a great time to get deep and intimate with someone, and share with them all the workings of your soul. You're in the mood for connection, real connection -- not superficial chitchat or witty banter. Ugh! You have no patience for that during this transit, so you might want to stay away from cocktail parties and the like. Of course, if you do end up going to one, you'll probably zero in on the person in the room who's in the same mood as you are, and you'll end up sitting in the corner with them for the rest of the evening, talking intensely about all the biggest and weightiest subjects of life. Anyone you're attracted to at this time is probably willing to go pretty deep with you. Don't be afraid to ask penetrating questions, ones that you might worry aren't appropriate with someone you just met. The likelihood is that you'll surprise and refresh them with your honesty, your powers of perception, your forthrightness. You'll broadcast the simple truth that you're not someone to be trifled with, and lightweights need not apply.
Mercury sextile NeptuneFrom Jan 25 to Jan 28 | Exact: Jan 27, 2025
That special someone could see you almost as a love guru during this transit, because you're so attuned to the spiritual side of romance and human intimacy! You've got a really sensitive touch at this time, so if your potential sweetie is a shy type, they'll blossom slowly but surely under your guidance. You're able to connect with them at a subtle level; you'll read all their cues, not just the obvious, surface-level ones but the unconscious or body-level ones too. You're likely to get a more holistic and more generous picture of someone new at this time than would normally be possible. You're not feeling judgmental; instead, you're accepting, letting experience and personality wash over you. You're like a rock in a riverbed, made smooth by the water that rushes over and around it. No wonder you'll come across as an enlightened being to that special someone! You probably feel calm and centered deep down in your soul at this time, in touch with the fact that love is out there, waiting for you to tap into it. So tap away. You've got a head full of creative ideas for dates, and a heart full of goodness and wonder for your future sweetie to enjoy.
Venus sextile MercuryFrom Jan 29 to Feb 3
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.
Venus trine NeptuneFrom Jan 29 to Feb 6 | Exact: Feb 4, 2025
If you're going to find your soul mate, this would be a good time to do it, because you're in a very sweet, tender, accepting and generous frame of mind, and you'll treat everyone around you with tender loving care. Of course, this transit also brings with it a healthy dose of unreality; you might make a really strong emotional bond with someone now, only to find out later that the relationship was really founded on a series of illusions. But even that's okay, because love itself, after all, is a sort of illusion; you can't touch it or smell it or see it, but you know it's there, and because of that you have faith in it and its power. That's the basic influence of this transit: your faith in love and your power to connect with another soul is heightened, and you're ready to reach out. So reach out. You'll be an incredibly selfless date, wanting to cater to your potential sweetie's every need and desire, so you'll make them feel great! It's a wonderful foundation for long-term potential in a romance. Just try not to be taken in by dishonest types or people who sense your willingness to serve and want to take advantage of you.
Mercury trine UranusFrom Jan 30 to Feb 2 | Exact: Feb 2, 2025
Anyone you reach out to during this time will surprise you, and vice versa; any date you go on won't stick to the normal prescribed parameters -- dinner and a movie, and polite conversation. No! For you, during this transit, it's all about the original and the pleasantly unexpected. Your mind and your intuitions will take you places you never thought you'd go, and you'll love it. Reach out to someone special, because your conversations will be interesting, to say the least, and you're in an intuitive space that will enable you to read between the lines and interpret what's not being said as well as what is spoken. And the best part is, you'll feel heard and understood by your date as well, because you're so easily able to put yourself into words at this time. All the unusual parts of your soul will be brought to light, and appreciated and admired. Instead of feeling like you'd better act 'normal' (whatever that means!), you'll feel confident in being exactly who you are. You'll really stimulate that special someone on an intellectual level, and hey -- that can often lead to something more consuming!
Neptune trine NeptuneFrom Feb 7 to Apr 18 | Exact: Apr 3, 2025
You're old enough now to have a better understanding of the way the world works and your own place in it, and this two-year transit marks a time when your ego drives are at their lowest, in a wonderful way. You just don't feel the need to assert your own needs or your own opinions, all the time; there is bigger work to be done, and your intuition is telling you what that is and how you need to go about doing it. If you fall in love during this period, your lover will experience your kindest, most understanding side. You'll devote yourself to them and to the relationship in a way that's satisfying for both of you. You could fall for someone who needs your help -- maybe their insecurities about love and intimacy make you the perfect partner for them, with your compassionate nature, your strong shoulder for tough times, and your sincere desire to help them get to a better place in life. Another possibility for love during this period is connecting with someone who has the same outlook as you do -- someone whose ego is also comfortably in the back seat to deeper, more spiritual interests. You'll fall for someone who is on a similar path to you, and similarly compassionate.
Mercury sextile SaturnFrom Feb 13 to Feb 15 | Exact: Feb 15, 2025
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 trine JupiterFrom Feb 13 to Feb 16 | Exact: Feb 16, 2025
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.
Saturn sextile SunFrom Feb 16 to Mar 28 | Exact: Feb 24, 2025
In your daily life, things should run along well for these several months. You're feeling good in your work and at home, and your admirers will notice your calm self-confidence, your dedication and your hard work. After all, dating is supposed to be fun and flirty, but it's also great to impress people with your serious side -- the side of you that gets things done, that works hard to make your life a success, however you define it. That's just what's going on during this period. You'll shine at work, and the confidence and good feelings will brim over into your dating life. If there's someone who's caught your eye, you'll reach out to them, but you'll probably take it slow and steady -- and that's a good thing. You're not in a space to get swept off your feet right now, which is just fine; take the time to get to know someone new, and you'll make your love affair as much of a success as your career is becoming. If you take things one step at a time, you'll notice that good things come your way, seemingly effortlessly. It's not without trying; it's just that you're putting in the effort and reaping the results.
Sun sextile SaturnFrom Feb 16 to Feb 20 | Exact: Feb 20, 2025
You'll come across as very mature and grounded during this time, so you'll attract people who are either similarly grounded, or who need a grounding influence in their life so they're drawn to your strength! In general, this is a great time to get to know someone new, because you're in a very sensible frame of mind. You won't expect too much from a first date, knowing they'll be awkward at best. And for that reason, you might even have more fun than usual, because you won't worry about whether this is The One or what kind of impression you're making. Instead, you'll be concerned with more practical matters: Is this someone I can get along with? Do they seem like someone I could know and like for a long time? You'll have your wits about you, so you won't let yourself get swept off your feet. No, this may not be the most fun, frolicsome week or two of your life, but you could make some really good, solid contacts during this time. In fact, if you find yourself attracted to someone past the first email or date during this transit, you can feel reasonably certain that they're worth getting to know better.

This period only comes around twice a year, so enjoy its influence. You're in a good mood at this time, but more than that, you've got an open mind, so it's the perfect time to make contact with someone new. You won't make any snap judgments; you'll be happy to take your time in getting to know them, and you'll appreciate any surprises they bring your way. Your tolerance and generosity of spirit will definitely impress them. Don't be surprised if you end up staying up late talking philosophy with someone special, because you'll be tuned in to your more elevated self -- the part of your personality that is concerned with issues of importance to you. You'll want to discuss your hopes and dreams and those of your date. Any connection you make at this time with a potential romantic partner will be an important one, because it will be as if there's no barrier guarding your soul; you're yourself, and you'll give them access to the true you.

You're talkative now, able both to communicate yourself and what you're looking for in a mate as well as to listen to someone else and help them feel heard and supported. You can make a great connection with someone at this time if you want. Anyone you reach out to during this period will love talking with you, because you're so able to understand them and to access their inner feelings and thoughts. You're able to do the same with yourself. You might stay up all night talking to that special someone on the phone, or exchanging email after email! You'll talk about your past relationships and your hopes for the future, and it will all help you to understand each other and yourselves better. What a great, friendly, energetic foundation for a relationship. Especially if you're ordinarily shy, take this opportunity to reach out and connect.

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.
Mercury trine NeptuneFrom Feb 28 to Mar 4 | Exact: Mar 3, 2025
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.

Love and affection are definitely in the air with this transit; you just feel open to all the sweet possibilities, like a kid in a candy store.

And they'll see affection and support in yours. What a match! Make it happen.

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.

Don't be surprised if you find your email Inbox full of messages from interested admirers, and your voicemail jammed with calls from people who want to get to know you better! You're feeling so positive and easygoing that you'll just put other people at ease, so this is a great time for a date. Make it something friendly and simple -- a walk by the lake, maybe, if you're meeting someone brand-new, or lunch at a little cafe where you can enjoy your conversation as much as the food. Don't miss any opportunity to socialize. Even if you don't meet The One during this period, you could make some lasting friendships -- which can be just as good.

Your unique personality and individuality are shining during this one-week period, which makes it a wonderful time to get in touch with someone new. You're in a great space to impress just about anyone, and you're open to unusual ideas and different types of people.

You command respect right now, and you'll draw people to you with your charisma and your charm. That's right -- your communicative ease will translate during this period to an effervescent appeal that will delight your admirers. So if you're normally shy, take advantage of this transit! Write an email that will showcase your unique wit and perspective; ask that special someone out on a date, and make it an activity that encourages conversation. Something fun and lively is just up your alley; live music, a Bingo game, whatever it is, as long as it's out and among the people -- and not too noisy to get to know each other -- you'll both have a great time. Don't be surprised if your conversation lasts long past time to go home.
Uranus trine MercuryFrom Mar 13 to Apr 18 | Exact: Apr 16, 2025
During this one-to-two year transit, your thirst for stimulating intellectual contact with a lover will increase to the point that it becomes a prerequisite to an ongoing relationship. If they can't turn on your mind, they won't be able to turn on any other part of you either, and you'll go your separate ways. Your intuition will also be humming right along during this period, so follow your instincts in love. Your unconscious mind will pick up on signals that will lead you toward people that have the kind of unique outlook you're seeking now. You want a lover who will excite you with their individual perspective, their crazy stories of things they've experienced in life that you've never even dreamed of. If you go out with someone and the conversation wanes, or if they give mundane answers to all your probing questions, you probably won't make it to date number two. Or if you do, it will be because you prodded, probed and provoked them into coming out of their shell! After all, everyone has a unique story to tell; you're just not in the mood to work too hard or wait too long to hear it.
Sun trine NeptuneFrom Mar 15 to Mar 21 | Exact: Mar 20, 2025

If you want to get to know someone new during this time, you'll do it at a deeper level than usual. No fun, flirty dates for you; you're interested in baring your soul to someone, and seeing if it matches up with theirs. Instead of going out for drinks at a noisy bar, you should ask your potential sweetie to accompany you to an art gallery or a poetry reading -- something that will stimulate your hearts and your creativity as well as your minds, and give you plenty of fodder for deep conversation. There is the possibility during this transit that you'll idealize someone new and special, which could lead to disillusionment in a week or two when you come down from your cloud and realize they're a real person with real flaws; but the comedown shouldn't be too dramatic or painful. In general, your instincts are right on now, so go with them.

If you're going to find your soul mate, this would be a good time to do it, because you're in a very sweet, tender, accepting and generous frame of mind, and you'll treat everyone around you with tender loving care. Of course, this transit also brings with it a healthy dose of unreality; you might make a really strong emotional bond with someone now, only to find out later that the relationship was really founded on a series of illusions. But even that's okay, because love itself, after all, is a sort of illusion; you can't touch it or smell it or see it, but you know it's there, and because of that you have faith in it and its power. That's the basic influence of this transit: your faith in love and your power to connect with another soul is heightened, and you're ready to reach out. So reach out. You'll be an incredibly selfless date, wanting to cater to your potential sweetie's every need and desire, so you'll make them feel great! It's a wonderful foundation for long-term potential in a romance. Just try not to be taken in by dishonest types or people who sense your willingness to serve and want to take advantage of you.

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.

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.

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.

Whatever your goals might be in terms of dating and romance, this transit, which lasts about three weeks, offers you a wonderful opportunity to really make things happen for yourself. You're in a position to develop yourself in a powerful and positive way, whatever that means for you. Do you need to develop more confidence in regards to dating? Do you need to be more sensitive to your potential sweethearts and their needs? Or do you need to build up your self-esteem and learn to make a powerful impression on the person you're interested in? Whatever it is that's lacking, you'll be able to spot it now and deal with it effectively. This might not be a snap -- you might have to work hard to gravitate to a new level within yourself and your own consciousness -- but it's work that's worth it, and you know it. You're willing and able to put in the effort, because you know it'll pay off later. This period may or may not mark the beginning of a new flirtation; it might be more about you spending time with yourself, figuring out where you're going from here. But however you spend it, you'll get good work done that will help you in the future.

You're in a serious mood, and sometimes that can be a good thing in the game of love. After all, you want to go on some fun dates with that cutie pie you've got your eye on, but you also want to know -- Is this person the one for me? Can we make it work in the long term? Those are the types of questions you'll be asking yourself during this ten-month transit. You're more interested now in making a real connection than in wasting an evening with empty chitchat and silly flirtation, so you'll cut right through the banter and the b.s. when you're out with someone new. Your straight-to-it method will probably have good results. This is a great time for focusing on something, or someone, that you really want in your life. The only worry here is that you might be a little more narrow-minded than usual, so try not to rule out anyone just because they don't seem like your normal type, or to be overly critical of your date's flaws. Beyond that word of caution, this should be a good period for you, one in which you'll take significant strides toward finding a love that's going to last.

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.
Saturn trine NeptuneFrom Apr 6 to Apr 18
Your dreams could come true during this ten-month transit, which signifies the marriage of reality with your deepest, dearest fantasies. That special someone that you've been dreaming of could walk right into your life and dazzle you, and you'll be so swept away by them and by the power of your love that you'll fall into serving them selflessly. For once, serving a lover selflessly is a good idea! You want to make them feel wonderful, to return the favor of how great they make you feel. Unlike lots of other times, this period grants you permission to live in a dream -- which is really a contradiction in terms, if you think about it; real life isn't about dreaming so much as cold, harsh reality. But for you, at this time, reality is a dream. In fact, pay close attention to your dreams when you start getting involved with someone new; your sleeping life will reveal a lot to you about your waking one. You're uniquely able to make a deep, spiritual connection with someone during this period, so take advantage of the opportunity. By all means, trust your instincts in love. If you're drawn to a certain person, it's probably for a good reason.

During this period, you might not be in the mood to get to know someone new or go out on a date, which will be for the best. You're more serious-minded now than usual, and if you were to go out with someone new, you'd make the wrong impression. They would think you were overly serious, and maybe even a stick-in-the-mud, which you're not -- not usually, anyway! But during this once-a-year transit, you'll find it hard to relax and let loose. If you do go out on a date, you'll probably sit there stiffly the whole time, finding it impossible to crack a smile, even if your date is a professional standup comedian. If you do decide to go out with someone new during this time, don't let them talk you into a date at an amusement park or anything like it -- you'll just spend the whole time feeling uncomfortable. A lunch date might be a much better idea right now, at an economical restaurant, because your mind just isn't on romance; instead you're preoccupied with all the usual worries of daily life -- your career, your finances, your future. Better yet, just take a week or two off from the dating scene, until you feel a little more relaxed and like your usual self.
Mars conjunct MarsBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 24
This transit should not be spent sitting on the couch, waiting for life to happen to you. Your energies are running high during these three weeks, and you should put them to good use. But it's the 'good' part that could be difficult. This transit is all about new beginnings, getting things started that you're going to want to pursue for some time to come. So if there's someone special on your horizon, by all means, reach out to them and make contact. If you go out on a date, make it something active -- team sports would be good, or canoeing together down the river. Your energies are best expressed in a physical way, and that does not necessarily mean getting physical with that hottie, especially if you don't know them yet! Instead, you'll have to find other outlets. If you can't find an outlet, you could get really restless, even irritable. For this reason, now may or may not be a great transit for getting to know someone new. If they go for your advances, then that's great -- you'll feel good and you'll take things to the next level. However, if they resist your attention, or if circumstances force you to take a passive role, you could feel really frustrated.
Venus conjunct SaturnFrom Apr 26 to May 1 | Exact: Apr 30, 2024
You're grounded at this time, and maybe a little too grounded. Instead of feeling whimsical about romance, you're more likely in a space of pondering your love life and what it all means, especially for your future. This transit inspires a very practical mindset, and possibly depression or pessimism. You might decide that a flirtation you've been indulging in really isn't the best thing for you in the long term, and you'll let it go during this period. Or, you might go to someone you trust -- a friend or someone in your family with more experience in love than you have had -- and ask them for advice on which way you should turn. That's always a good idea, as long as you're able to take advice with a grain of salt. Sometimes, you're the best authority on your own love life, and in times like this transit, you just have to remember that your slightly pessimistic view of things will pass. You'll get your confidence back, and your sense of hope. But for now, don't expect to feel too excited about your prospects in love. Even if you do make contact with someone special during this time, you might spend too much time feeling anxious about the affair to really enjoy it.
Mercury conjunct SaturnFrom May 12 to May 18 | Exact: May 17, 2024
There's nothing wrong with thinking seriously and soberly about life and love and what you're looking for in a long-term partner, but you might be a little too serious during this transit. If you go out with someone new, you run the risk of turning them off because you could come across as a downer! You're in a cynical frame of mind during this transit; you'll have a hard time seeing the light side of things, or the possibilities inherent in a situation. You're more glued to 'facts' and 'proof' now than usual, which can be difficult when dealing with intangible, faith-based issues of the heart, like love and attraction. How are you going to get proof of your feelings, or of your potential sweetie's affection for you? You'll feel the need to test and substantiate everything during this period, which could get very dull for that special someone who just wants to make an emotional connection with you. On the other hand, you can derive some good things from this influence; use the seriousness it imparts to you to suss out who's good for you and who isn't. You've got a keen eye for good bets at this time, and that includes potential romantic partners.
Saturn conjunct MarsFrom May 12 to Aug 17 | Exact: Jun 29, 2024
How well do you deal with discipline and focus? If you can buckle down and focus on the important things in your life during this ten-month transit, you'll have a relatively smooth time of it. But if you rebel against having to get serious, this could be a difficult time for you. You might feel really irritable throughout this period, which won't make the best impression on someone new and special; they'll think they're just telling you their perspective on something during the natural course of the conversation, but all you'll hear coming out of their mouth is a big challenge, one that demands your response! Or you might feel like the responsibilities of your daily life are so big now that you can't even find time to go out with someone new and make a good connection, which will leave you feeling frustrated and lonely. You don't have to feel those ways. If you can convince yourself not to struggle against the challenging energy of this period, you could really get a lot of work done. Perhaps now is just not the time to be fun and frivolous and romantic. There will be plenty of time for that later, when you've got the rest of your ducks in a row.
Pluto conjunct MercuryFrom May 24 to Jan 29
You know how to read other people during this two-to-three-year transit. You're in touch with a deep, inner understanding of all the overt and subtle forms of human communication, so when you go out with someone new, you'll be able to hear not only what they're telling you, but also what they're not saying. You'll be able to read their body language and get a much clearer picture, and faster, of whether this relationship is really something that's going to work out long-term. You'll express yourself even better than usual, too. That special someone will be captivated by your conversation and will want to know more about this compelling new person in their life. One word of caution is in order: You're learning all kinds of new things and wanting to discuss them, but just remember that your potential sweetie won't necessarily see things the same way you do. You can avoid uncomfortable arguments if you just remember to let them have their own opinion, and don't try to force yours on them. Beyond that, your mind is sharp now, and you're attracted to people who have something to offer you on a mental plane. Intellectual types should definitely apply!
Mars conjunct SaturnFrom Jun 4 to Jun 13 | Exact: Jun 11, 2024
This period of three weeks or so won't be the best time to try to get a new relationship going, because you're short on patience and you could misinterpret that special someone's brand of flirting as actually trying to get your goat in some way. It's less likely that they're actually challenging you, and more likely that you're misinterpreting their signals as an obstacle to whatever your agenda might be. You're just not a people person at this time. Some old frustration is bubbling to your surface, making you short-tempered and cranky, and ready to get full-blown angry. You'd be better off channeling that energy into working hard, because you've got a tremendous capacity during this transit for focused attention on difficult work. You might feel a little bit lonely or even depressed, but as long as you keep in mind that this, too, shall pass, you should be okay. You can accomplish anything work-related that you set your mind to, but speculative ventures -- like romance and getting a new relationship off the ground -- might not fare so well under the current energy.
Venus conjunct PlutoFrom Aug 22 to Aug 28 | Exact: Aug 27, 2024
This transit could bring about some sort of upheaval in your love life, because you're in the mood for something intense, and if it doesn't happen naturally, you'll subconsciously make it happen. You might break off a flirtation that you've been enjoying up to now, or you might start a fight because you just want to shake things up in a big, deep way. If there's someone new and special in your life, you could push them away during this time by being overly possessive of them -- after all, you don't even know them very well yet, so why are you getting all worked up? You'll probably fall hard and fast for anyone you get involved with now, so watch out. You could feel completely infatuated with them, but that's not a reflection of reality! It's just you and your state of mind at this time. It might not even have anything to do with the person you think is so special. You also might be manipulative during this transit, trying to keep your new object of obsession close by using emotional games instead of something more honest and aboveboard, like simple getting-to-know-you conversations and pleasant interactions on your dates.
Venus conjunct UranusFrom Sep 1 to Sep 6 | Exact: Sep 5, 2024
Love at first sight could hit you like a brick over the head during this transit! And if it's not that intense, you'll still be surprised by the direction and strength your tastes take on at this time. You'll probably become very attracted to someone who's not your normal type at all, and their very differentness will turn you on in an almost kinky way. You've got a taste for the exotic, or at least the very, very different. If you're normally into straight, reliable types, you'll go for someone artistic and wacky who wouldn't wear a watch if you paid them. Another possibility during this transit is shifting feelings for someone you've already been getting to know. You just want to shake it up! You don't have patience for the same ol', same ol'. You want someone new to make you feel like a new person, and you might be willing to go to some great lengths to make that happen. Even so, cutting off a perfectly good relationship just to pursue the wild tickle you suddenly feel would be a shame. Try not to make any rash decisions during this period, though that's easier said than done.
Sun conjunct PlutoFrom Sep 13 to Sep 21 | Exact: Sep 19, 2024
You're putting out an intense, charismatic energy at this time. Others will be drawn to you like a moth to flame -- or maybe more like a meteorite to a black hole, because you're that powerful! This period of less than two weeks only comes around once a year, which is probably a good thing, because your intensity during this time might be off the charts. You could even give someone the wrong impression about what kind of person you are, because you won't be interested during this period in frivolous fun. If you go out on a date, you'll want it to be just like you -- intense. You'll want to get to the bottom of your potential lover's soul, find out who they are under the surface. That's fine, but can't you wait a few dates to start probing those depths? People get to know each other in stages; you can't get all the deep and subtle information about someone on the first date or even the fifth or tenth, and you definitely can't get it by force. Depending on the person you're attracted to, your intensity could actually scare someone away. You might want to tone it down for a week or two until this energy passes.
Mercury conjunct PlutoFrom Sep 21 to Sep 25 | Exact: Sep 24, 2024
Surface-level chitchat and flirtations just won't appeal to you during this 10-day transit, which is all about intensity. You don't want to communicate at a lighthearted level; you want to get deep with someone special, and plumb their depths to find out exactly what makes them tick. The only problem is, people might not want you to probe so deeply and personally when you don't even know them. You might ask them questions that seem interesting to you, but they're actually offensive to your potential sweetie. You'll want to know all about their past romantic relationships, their relationships with their parents, their insecurities and their hang-ups regarding love and more. Someone who's just met you might not want to lay all their cards out on the table like that, at least not yet, so if your date pulls back from you, let them. After all, you're highly perceptive now anyway; you can probably learn a lot about them just by paying attention to their signals, both the overt and the subtler ones. You've got a mind for mystery at this time, in fact, so that might be the better way to get to know someone anyway.
Venus conjunct JupiterFrom Sep 21 to Sep 26 | Exact: Sep 25, 2024
Well, you won't have a whole lot of self-discipline during this transit, but so what? This is a time to enjoy yourself, not to apply yourself in a diligent, dedicated way. You're tuned in to the pleasures of life more than anything else this week. You feel optimistic and outgoing, and you want to reach out to the object of your affections. You're feeling self-indulgent; if you're out shopping, anything that catches your eye goes into the cart, because you want to be surrounded by beautiful things that put you even more in touch with the beauty of life. That's true in romance, too -- you're attracted to beautiful people, and you want to indulge your potential sweetie just as you're indulging yourself. If you go on a first date during this transit, there's a high likelihood that it will lead to a second date, because you'll both have a great time. You're putting out good feelings and generosity, and you'll make your potential honey feel wonderful -- attractive, nurtured, warmly attended. Your big heart is expanded during this transit, and you're even more able than usual to reach out and make a really fun, warm connection.
Sun conjunct UranusFrom Sep 25 to Oct 2 | Exact: Oct 1, 2024
If you fall hard for someone during this period, don't necessarily trust your emotions -- you're operating under some strange and excitable energies. You could wake up in a week or two wondering exactly why you thought you were so into this person. Now, that caution aside, this could be a really fun time! It only happens once a year, so have fun -- just not too much fun. This could be a whirlwind couple of weeks of dating and making new contacts, and your new potential lovers will find you fascinating indeed. You're putting out a current of energy that's like an electrical charge to anyone who gets involved with you. In fact, you could be a bit much to handle right now, especially for someone who's more reserved than you. You'll be full of great ideas, bouncing off the walls, and unless you're with someone who can handle that kind of energy, you're likely to turn off a potential date because you'll just seem, well, weird to them. And it's true; you'll have some unusual, spontaneous impulses at this time. But if you can match up with the right person, someone who's willing to follow your lead, you could have the time of your life!
Mercury conjunct UranusFrom Sep 28 to Oct 1 | Exact: Sep 30, 2024
Wow -- you're in a funny, strange state of mind, and the most unusual qualities of your personality will come to the fore at this time. If you contact that special someone, will they be able to handle all the weird and wonderful, unexpected things that you'll say? Well, that depends on them, and remains to be seen. One thing is sure: you won't be satisfied with connecting on any level that's mundane. Idle chitchat about your day jobs? No way! Unless your potential sweetie has a strange and exciting job, like working on a SWAT team. Pleasantly dull conversation about your likes and dislikes? No, thank you! You want creative conversation, and you'll do whatever it takes to make that happen, even if that means sparking up your date with wacky, zany jokes or poking fun at them just to get them to react. In general, though, there will be a method to your madness during this transit. You'll be very innovative in coming up with dates; no dinner-and-a-movie for you, no way. You want to connect with someone unique in a way that you've never connected before, and this period offers you the perfect opportunity.
Mercury conjunct JupiterFrom Oct 12 to Oct 16 | Exact: Oct 15, 2024
You're feeling hopeful and optimistic at this time, and you're ready to get to know someone new. You probably won't be attracted to anyone during this time who seems too familiar or 'normal'; you've got a taste for someone unusual who will expand your horizons. You don't want to get caught up in surface-level chitchat or ordinary flirtation; you want to talk about the real stuff, the deep stuff -- your hopes and dreams for the future, what you're both looking for in love and more. Anyone special that you reach out to at this time is likely to share similar values to yours, and hold similar dreams dear to their heart. So dream big! Reach out to a potential sweetie and bring up those big, weighty, interesting subjects that tell so much about who you both are as individuals. You'll probably discover something completely unique and unexpected about them, something that widens your vision of the universe and reminds you that life and love are miraculous. You'll be inspired by the world around you during this transit, and maybe even by that hottie you've had your eye on. So take a chance, and see.
Venus conjunct NeptuneFrom Oct 13 to Oct 18 | Exact: Oct 17, 2024
You're in touch with your highest ideals when it comes to love during this transit, and you could either have an amazing emotional experience with that special someone, or else set yourself up for a fall. After all, no one is perfect, and there might not be any one person who's really The One for you. But you'll dream of them anyway, and you'll know just how you'll feel when you meet them or touch them. If it happens, wow! You'll be on cloud nine. You'll make an amazing emotional connection with this potential sweetie, and you'll feel as if the future is full of limitless possibilities. On the other hand, if you don't meet someone at this time who really sets your heart afire, you could feel lonely and disappointed by the end of the transit. If you build up that special someone to be someone they just aren't, you could feel inordinately disappointed in a week or two, when their true colors start to seep through that rose-colored filter you've got firmly positioned in front of your eyes. It's not that you'll hook up with a bad person during this transit; it's that you'll make a connection with someone normal, but you'll make them out to be a demigod.
Sun conjunct JupiterFrom Oct 20 to Oct 27 | Exact: Oct 26, 2024
You're in a great mood during this period; you feel expansive, lucky, in tune with the universe and all its wonderful possibilities. On your end, this will seem like a great time to get in touch with that special someone, and it probably will be -- but do try to tone it down a bit if you're talking to someone new. You could accidentally come across as egotistical to someone who doesn't know you well! Confidence is definitely attractive, but some people could misread you. if you take someone new out on a date and pay for everything, you'll think you're being generous, but they might think you're showing off. If you're attracted to someone who's confident and secure, of course, this shouldn't be a problem. And don't try curb your great mood; just keep your chin up if things don't go as well as planned. But overall, these couple of weeks will increase your confidence and optimism, as well as your charm. It's an excellent time to reach out, make contact and greatly expand your personal horizons through interaction with someone sweet and special. A new relationship might begin even as you explore existing ones. Your reach is enormous right now. Enjoy this ride!
Mercury conjunct NeptuneFrom Oct 29 to Nov 3 | Exact: Nov 2, 2024
Some people just aren't good at dating; they get all mixed up and nervous when faced with someone new, and make a bad impression when really they're a fine person, and very much worthy of love. Anyone who's like that would be lucky to go out with you at this time, because you'll see past their stuttering, their sweaty palms and their inane conversation to the real person beneath. You might be moved during this two-week period to write love sonnets about the object of your affections, or to read poetry that focuses on the heart and its mysterious workings. You're able to connect intuitively at this time, so use your highly emotional mental powers to reach out to someone and get to know who they really are, heart and mind. The only danger with this transit is that you'll idealize someone, but that will just come from looking so intently into their heart. You'll be able to see all their good intentions instead of getting caught up in the outer details. You might make a really dreamy romantic connection during this period; just don't be surprised if your object of affections turns out somewhat different from whom you initially thought they were.
Sun conjunct NeptuneFrom Nov 16 to Nov 23 | Exact: Nov 21, 2024
You could idealize someone new at this time, if you're not careful. You're in an especially vulnerable period when it comes to love; you're feeling sensitive and intuitive, and you could get a feeling about someone new and run with it. But what happens if your perception of them was wrong? They could take advantage of you before you even realize it, because you'll be too busy convincing yourself that this is really someone special -- maybe even The One -- to pay attention to the obvious signs that this person isn't right for you. But the emotional sensitivity you'll feel at this time shouldn't be wasted, so use it to make contact -- and just make contact. Don't be too quick to get intimate with someone before you really know them, and pay careful attention to any red flags that come up for you. Remind yourself to take it slowly; you might even set a boundary for yourself, such as no dates during this two-week period. Limit yourself to emails, IMs and phone calls; that way you'll lessen the chances that you'll get taken for a ride. Pay attention to the road signs, and you'll escape the disillusionment that can follow this transit, while enjoying the dreamy, idealistic mood it creates.
Venus conjunct VenusFrom Nov 24 to Nov 30 | Exact: Nov 25, 2024
You might think you've been totally obvious about your interest in that special someone, but this two-week transit offers you the perfect opportunity to really get it out in the open. Let them know how you feel. It will probably end up jump-starting the relationship and moving things to the next level, because the energy during this time is all about renewal and new beginnings. You're very magnetic now, so you can pull your honey to you by just thinking about them, and chances are good that doing so will have great effects. Whether a flirtation that begins during this time will be just that or grow into something significant depends on other factors; but if you're strongly attracted to someone now, the time is right to do something about it. You're feeling highly romantic and attuned to the loving vibes of the world. You're very affectionate now; you might want nothing more than to cuddle up with someone and stroke their hair while you murmur words of endearment! If no one special catches your eye during this transit, you should still go out with friends and have a good time. You're not in the mood to be alone!
Venus conjunct SunFrom Nov 27 to Dec 3 | Exact: Nov 28, 2024
Your personality is given a dose of warmth and fun and romance with this transit. You're all sparked up, ready to meet someone new and have a great time together, so reach out to whoever catches your eye. You're in a uniquely good space for finding romance, because you feel confident and attractive, and you've got a rosy view of everyone around you. Affection comes easily and naturally to you now; if you take someone special out on a date, you'll make them feel like the only one in the room with your sweet attention! Your natural charisma will be for them as honey to a bee; they'll want to keep coming back for more. So get out there into the world, and chat up your potential sweetie. Parties are great places for you to meet, connect and impress, but one-on-one dates would be wonderful, too. You're on a natural high, and everyone around you will respond accordingly. Don't be surprised if you become really, really popular at this time! Everyone's noticing how attractive and fun you seem, and you could be all the rage on the dating scene...at least, for a week or two. So enjoy it!
Venus conjunct MercuryFrom Dec 2 to Dec 8 | Exact: Dec 3, 2024
What a great mood you're in! You're lighthearted, and you're just not able to make yourself focus on anything that's dull or sad or depressing. You don't see any reason to dwell on all the parts of life that are painful or just mundane; instead, you want to reach out and experience people who are as good-humored as you are, people who are also in the mood to have a great time. You'll infect everyone around you with your good mood, which makes this a great time to throw a dinner party or just get everyone together. By all means, invite that hottie you've got your eye on! You're at your witty, flirtatious best, and you'll make a great impression. If there's someone you've already been getting to know, now's a good time to step things up to the next level. Short, fun little day trips are just your speed during these couple of weeks; take your potential sweetie antiquing in a country town or go to the park if the weather's nice. And if you really, really like them, let them know. Your words will flow smoothly at this time, and you'll express yourself well. Your romantic thoughts are highlighted now, and it's a great time to connect on that level.
Sun conjunct VenusFrom Jan 1 to Jan 8 | Exact: Jan 6, 2025
You are in the mood for love during this period, and you should definitely make the most of it -- this transit only comes around once a year, and it only lasts a couple of weeks. During this time you're incredibly loving, affectionate and creative in your self-expression. Everyone around you will notice how attractive and friendly you are; they'll feel drawn to you like bees to honey, or a moth to the flame. You'll put out a very sensual vibe that will really make an impression on your admirers, and you'll leave them wanting much, much more. So if there's someone you've been too shy to make contact with, go ahead and do it now. They're sure to be impressed, because you're at your best during this time, physically and otherwise. Enjoy this period and your magnetic attractiveness, but don't ruin a good thing by being too vain about your own appeal! No one likes an egotist, and if you approach someone with the attitude of 'I'm so hot, you'd be crazy not to date me,' you'll just turn them off. Let them figure it out for themselves; after all, it'll be hard to miss how good you'll make them feel and how much they'll want to be around you.
Sun conjunct MercuryFrom Jan 10 to Jan 17 | Exact: Jan 15, 2025
This is a great time to get in touch with that special someone, but take note -- this transit only comes around once a year, and it lasts only a week or so. So take advantage! During this period, you'll be extremely in tune with your own mind. There will be an easy connection between your ideas and conversation -- you won't have to worry that you'll put your foot in your mouth! Instead, your words will be lyrical and your ideas inspired. This is a great time to pen a love poem to someone you want to impress or write an email to that hottie who's caught your eye, because your personality will jump right into their heart! It's also a great time for phone conversations; if you call the object of your desires during this period, don't be surprised if you two end up staying up all night long, talking about every single thing under the Sun. This is definitely a good time to impress someone with your intellectual prowess, so if you want to be loved for your mind, speak up now. Remember, this transit won't come around again till next year!
Mercury conjunct VenusFrom Jan 16 to Jan 20 | Exact: Jan 19, 2025
Anyone who catches your eye during this 10-day transit will appeal to you first on a physical level and then an intellectual one. You're in the mood to make a connection and you're tuned in to beauty, both the kind that's skin-deep and the kind that goes beneath the surface. You have a way with words at this time, so take advantage! If you're attracted to someone, let them know with a well-penned love poem, an email that reveals your feelings or even a creative project that you make just for them. You'll also have some great conversations during this time, so even if you're not feeling ready to make a statement of your feelings, it's still a good time to go out and have fun with someone new, or make that first contact. You'll make a good impression, because you're feeling so tuned in to pleasure and romance. Make sure you don't get caught up in the mood so much that you make a declaration of affection to someone that you're not going to be into long-term! But that's not so likely; your warmth is heartfelt, and you can't go wrong in letting someone know you like them.
Venus conjunct MarsFrom Jan 16 to Jan 24 | Exact: Jan 22, 2025
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!
Mercury conjunct SunFrom Jan 20 to Jan 24 | Exact: Jan 21, 2025
You're in a jocular mood, ready to connect with just about anyone on a fun, lively level. The emails or text messages you send, the phone calls you make, all will be infused with this bright, fun energy. You'll impress people with your chatty, talkative bent, your ability to express yourself, and you'll definitely be able to translate who you are and what you're looking for to someone new. This is a good period to reach out to someone, because you're really wanting to connect. This transit lasts about one week, so definitely take advantage of it. If you've already been getting to know someone special, this is a great time to seal the deal. Write them a love letter or an email, telling them how you feel about them and how you see your future together. If someone new has just caught your eye, ask them out for coffee. Don't be surprised if you stay late enough to close the place down, because you'll get lost in conversation together! And hey -- if it doesn't work out, that's a good thing, because it means you communicated yourself and your desires well enough to be understood. You'll be able to pick yourself right up and move on to the next likely prospect.
Mercury conjunct MercuryFrom Jan 24 to Jan 28 | Exact: Jan 25, 2025
You're feeling talkative, full of new ideas and perceptions, and ready to connect. If someone has caught your eye, this is a great time to get to know them and figure out if they're right for you. They might be, or they might not; this transit doesn't create any romantic feelings, which is actually a good thing, because your judgment won't be clouded by sudden and unreasonable attraction! Instead, you're ready to experience a meeting of the minds, and during this week-plus period, any attraction you feel will be on an intellectual level. That's a great start to a relationship, so get out there and start connecting! You might find someone that you like, and then, through talking to them, you'll find that you don't really match up that well. That's okay; you'll just say a friendly goodbye and move on to the next one. When you do find someone you really connect with, it will be a strong and fast bond. You'll talk about everything under the sun -- movies, books, past relationships, future dreams, your jobs, your families... Everything that comes into your heads will be fair game!

How well do you deal with discipline and focus? If you can buckle down and focus on the important things in your life during this ten-month transit, you'll have a relatively smooth time of it. But if you rebel against having to get serious, this could be a difficult time for you. You might feel really irritable throughout this period, which won't make the best impression on someone new and special; they'll think they're just telling you their perspective on something during the natural course of the conversation, but all you'll hear coming out of their mouth is a big challenge, one that demands your response! Or you might feel like the responsibilities of your daily life are so big now that you can't even find time to go out with someone new and make a good connection, which will leave you feeling frustrated and lonely. You don't have to feel those ways. If you can convince yourself not to struggle against the challenging energy of this period, you could really get a lot of work done. Perhaps now is just not the time to be fun and frivolous and romantic. There will be plenty of time for that later, when you've got the rest of your ducks in a row.
Mercury conjunct MarsFrom Feb 21 to Feb 25 | Exact: Feb 24, 2025
Any romantic connection you make during this week-plus period will be a meeting of the minds -- and bodies! How well you'll actually get along with that special someone remains to be seen, and it might depend on how well they can deal with your high energy and excitable nature! Even if you're normally laid back or even quiet or reserved, you're breaking out of your shell during this transit. You won't be afraid to speak your mind, so if you get together with someone new, you could either have a great time discussing things and even getting into a friendly debate or two... Or you could really annoy them by being abrupt, or with your seeming tendency to jump on everything about them that's different from you and analyze it or discuss it to death! This really could go either way, and it all depends on the person you reach out to. Do try to be sensitive to social cues at this time; if you go out with someone or talk to them on the phone and you start to sense that they're drawing away from you or getting annoyed, take it as a sign that you're coming across as combative, or just too high-energy for the moment.
Sun conjunct MarsFrom Mar 4 to Mar 11 | Exact: Mar 9, 2025
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!
Sun conjunct SaturnFrom Apr 16 to Apr 18
During this period, you might not be in the mood to get to know someone new or go out on a date, which will be for the best. You're more serious-minded now than usual, and if you were to go out with someone new, you'd make the wrong impression. They would think you were overly serious, and maybe even a stick-in-the-mud, which you're not -- not usually, anyway! But during this once-a-year transit, you'll find it hard to relax and let loose. If you do go out on a date, you'll probably sit there stiffly the whole time, finding it impossible to crack a smile, even if your date is a professional standup comedian. If you do decide to go out with someone new during this time, don't let them talk you into a date at an amusement park or anything like it -- you'll just spend the whole time feeling uncomfortable. A lunch date might be a much better idea right now, at an economical restaurant, because your mind just isn't on romance; instead you're preoccupied with all the usual worries of daily life -- your career, your finances, your future. Better yet, just take a week or two off from the dating scene, until you feel a little more relaxed and like your usual self.

Are you trying too hard during this period to control the conversation when you're out on a date with someone new? If you feel unnecessarily challenged or misunderstood, it could actually be a sign that you're not listening well enough yourself. This two-to-three-year transit is all about old, not so positive relationship karma coming back to haunt you until you face it down and deal with it. In what ways have you been rigid or controlling about love in the past? Whatever it is that you visited on your lovers, you can expect it to come back around full-circle now and be visited upon you. A big possibility during this period is that you'll feel forced into a course of action that you really don't want to follow, and you'll feel very tense as a result. If you make a commitment to a lover, for example, even willingly, you could immediately start to feel resentful of the loss of your freedom. This transit serves as a test; its challenging energies are challenging you to step up to the plate and learn something. Any struggles you go through now, romantically or otherwise, will be worth it as long as you learn something from them in the end.
Pluto square JupiterBefore 04/19/2024 to Jun 21
You'll feel invincible during this period, so you'll go after your ambitions with a ruthlessness uncharacteristic of you. At work, this could work out in your favor, as long as you make sure not to step on anyone's toes or burn any bridges. In your love life, taking an overly aggressive or arrogant approach to dating just doesn't work. For one thing, you're in touch now with the fact that you want and expect honesty from a lover, and that's a good thing. If you catch that special someone in a little white lie, you're likely to be very self-righteous with them about the fact that you'd never do a thing like that in a million years, and yada, yada, yada -- forgetting the fact that you're human, just like they are, and you very well might do something like exaggerating about yourself to seem more impressive, or any of the other ways people tend to be just a little less than honest with each other when they're first getting to know one another. Make sure that you deal with your dates -- and your coworkers, and everyone else in your life -- with kindness as well as sincerity. Being manipulative or arrogant just won't serve you, either in the short term or the long run.
Neptune opposite PlutoBefore 04/19/2024 to May 15
This may not be the best period of your life in terms of romance and relationships, because you'll be very averse to facing the reality of your affairs. Instead of getting involved with someone new, you might choose to drown yourself in memories of an old love affair. Or you might go ahead and get involved with someone, only instead of dealing with them as the person that they are, you'll end up filtering your relationship with them through something that's deep in your past, projecting an old love onto this new person. That's not a fair way to treat someone, as it's basically ignoring their true needs and personality. But you might not be able to stop yourself; fantasizing about the past will seem more appealing than facing the present, especially if a new love affair ends in an unpleasant way. If you do experience the failure of a relationship during this time, even one that barely got off the ground, you're likely to brood about it for a long time instead of letting it go and moving on. Your sentimentalism is on high, and everything will seem imbued with special, melancholy significance; even people and situations that don't warrant it.
Sun opposite JupiterBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 24 | Exact: Apr 22, 2024
Though you're not feeling at your best during this period, making contact with that special someone could still work out, because they might actually see your wonderful qualities better than you can. However, with this transit, trouble could occur if you push yourself out into the dating world. You'll hold other people to the same overly high standards by which you're judging yourself, which isn't fair. Why not spend this time working on developing yourself? If you're feeling like there's no one out there that's good enough for you, it's just that you're not in the right frame of mind to give and receive love and affection. If you feel like you don't have a lot to offer a potential lover, it's an indicator that you need a little boost in your self-image. You might be better off taking a week or two away from dating and looking for The One, and spending a little time with number one -- you. Go see a movie that makes you laugh and cry; you'll feel uplifted, as if your soul has expanded by a few degrees. Anything you do that puts you in touch with your own sense of hope and optimism is a good thing at this time.

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.
Venus square VenusBefore 04/19/2024 to Apr 22
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.
Mars opposite PlutoFrom Apr 19 to Apr 28 | Exact: Apr 26, 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.
Venus square SunFrom Apr 20 to Apr 24 | Exact: Apr 21, 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.
Venus square MercuryFrom Apr 24 to Apr 29 | Exact: Apr 25, 2024
There's a small chance that you'll get into arguments with that special someone during this transit, because this energy paired up with the influence of a more difficult transit could result in misunderstandings. But on its own, this transit is pleasant and lighthearted, and it puts you in a nice, easy mood, ready for fun. You won't want to argue with anyone; you just don't have the heart for it now, and you might be overly appeasing instead of standing up for yourself during these couple of weeks, because you just don't want to fight. It's okay to avoid confrontation, as long as you're not letting someone walk all over you. You want to have fun and be entertained during this transit, and if you can find a buddy with potential for more to accompany you, so much the better. Just make sure they're a nice person and that they're treating you well! Your tendency now is to keep the peace, no matter what, so make it a point to be around pleasant people. Your best bet might be to keep things light for a week or so. If someone has caught your eye and you want to make contact, do so with a certain amount of caution; go have fun, but don't jump in headfirst.
Venus opposite JupiterFrom Apr 27 to May 3 | Exact: May 2, 2024
Are you able to keep yourself and your desires in check, even when they're running strong and hot within you? That's the challenge this transit will present. It's a fun one, but you could have a little too much fun. You'll have a hard time saying no during this week; you could have an overstuffed social calendar, because you'll want to attend every function you're invited to. If more than one person asks you on a date, you'll fit those in too. You're attractive in your current high energy and indulgent mood, so you might well draw plenty of admirers. Enjoy yourself; just try to be moderate when it's appropriate! Don't drink too much, or eat to excess, or go over-budget on a date. If you do, you could end up with a hangover, an empty wallet and a few unwanted pounds that need shedding. In general, though, this transit will be a fun one while it lasts. You'll live by the 'buy now, pay later' philosophy, not worrying about your excesses because, hey, you won't have to deal with them until next week! Right? Well... Sort of. Any relationship you begin during this period might turn out not to be the real deal, if you're just into someone for their money or their good looks.
Jupiter opposite NeptuneFrom May 1 to Jun 3 | Exact: May 26, 2024
You're very gullible during this four-month transit, and you could be taken in if you go out with people who aren't good for you. People who try to take advantage of your good intentions will likely get their way during this period, because you'll buy any story hook, line and sinker, as long as it fits in with your fantasy of the love you're looking for. You probably won't experience this transit as anything less than a fun period full of hopeful signs and opportunities; you might meet someone you're really into, and you'll have all kinds of fantasies about where the relationship is going to go. But you've got a blind spot to trouble, emotional issues and even just people whose intentions don't match up with yours. You could go out on a good first date and think that a second date is naturally going to follow -- but at the end of the night, your date says a friendly goodbye, making it clear they won't be calling you. And you could still hope for the best with this person! That's just the kind of head space you're in now -- you are basically avoiding reality, because the dream you've come up with is so much more appealing.
Mercury square SunFrom May 3 to May 10 | Exact: May 5, 2024
This period lasts less than two weeks, which is a good thing -- because it won't be a lot of fun. If you reach out to someone special, you'll find that you keep misunderstanding them and feeling misunderstood yourself. You might even get into arguments if you go out with someone at this time; you'll want to connect, but instead your differences of opinion will feel divisive. You could feel defensive about your own position, as if you really need to represent your own point of view in a strong and combative way. Under the surface, you're identifying too much with your own feelings, thoughts and perceptions at this time; if someone disagrees with you, it'll feel as if they're rejecting you as a person, even though that's not what's really happening. Obviously, this isn't a great impression to make on someone new; you'll just come across as defensive, combative or whiny if you try to make a good connection with them. And you'll see them as challenging and contrary! You're better off waiting a couple of weeks to contact someone who catches your eye, or at least taking everything they say with a big grain of salt.

This transit could bring the end of a flirtation that has been fun for you up till now. If you've been getting to know someone special recently, your feelings toward them could change during the three weeks of this transit, as fast as lightning. All of a sudden, you'll see them as limiting you, trying to hold you back -- even if all they're doing is trying to get to know you. You won't care to find out what their real motivations are; you're just interested in throwing off the chains that you think are binding you. Whether you do this in a tactful way or an angry, burning-bridges way is up to you -- but it's likely that you'll be at least somewhat aggressive. This transit's energy will excite yours, and not in the best way. You'll feel irritable and you might get into sudden arguments, both with people that you know well and people you hardly know at all, like that potential sweetie. It's also possible that someone else will be angry and aggressive with you, and you'll have to stand up for yourself unexpectedly. Either way, expect upsets and sudden disagreements during this transit. You might want to stay away from people you don't know until this energy passes.

Don't expect to find your mental twin during this period, which, thankfully, will last less than two weeks. Even the people you know well will probably get on your nerves and challenge you! At least, you'll think that's what's happening, when in fact, you're the one who feels argumentative and contrary. Anyone who presents an opposing opinion to yours will receive an earful from you, so you might do best sticking to your tried-and-true friends during this period instead of reaching out to someone new. You're irritable and easily aroused -- not in the good sense -- and you'll just make the wrong impression. That special someone might not want to contact you again if they get a taste of your combative energy! You're in a head space in which you think yours is the only right way of looking at things, and you might act like someone is stupid or dense for having an alternative viewpoint. Even if you're not feeling argumentative, the energy of this transit might just confuse you. You could have a hard time picking up on someone's obvious signals. This isn't a great time to make a romantic connection; wait a week or two for your head to clear.
Mercury opposite JupiterFrom May 13 to May 19 | Exact: May 18, 2024
Sometimes we tell little white lies -- embellishments on the truth, really -- to make ourselves seem more interesting and colorful, more appealing to the person for whom we're embroidering our lives. You'll be very tempted during this week-plus-long transit to do just that, but you should avoid it if at all possible. After all, you're looking for love, for a real relationship. What happens when you make a great connection with that special someone, you get closer and more intimate with each other, and then they find out that you haven't been completely truthful with them? That can only lead to trouble. Another possibility during this period is that you'll lie to yourself, rather than your potential sweetie; you could tell yourself that this new person you're attracted to is The One, and you could embellish on the picture in your mind of the two of you strolling off happily, hand in hand, into the ever after... And then you'll realize, sooner or later, that it's all in your mind. The person you thought was The One is actually flawed, or confused about what they want, or just not that into you. If you go out during this period, try hard to tell the truth, to yourself and everyone else.
Sun opposite NeptuneFrom May 14 to May 21 | Exact: May 20, 2024
If you make contact during this time with someone who seems like they could be The One, put on the brakes, fast. This is not to say that they won't turn out to be someone really special in your life, but your judgment is clouded at this time, so you shouldn't make any snap decisions about anyone, one way or the other. You could look at your potential sweetie and see everything you've been looking for -- all the qualities you want in a lover, everything you've ever dreamed of. In a week or two, you could wake up from this pleasant dream with the distinctly unpleasant realization that this person is nothing like you thought they were. You're likely to be confused or even deluded by people you don't know well during this transit. You just won't get a clear read on them or their intentions; you could even unconsciously attract people who aren't on the up-and-up. You'll probably fill in any gaps with your own inventions regarding who this person is and who they're going to be to you. Because of this, you probably should wait to make contact until you're in a more rational and clear-headed frame of mind. Otherwise, you could get the wrong idea.
Venus opposite NeptuneFrom May 19 to May 24 | Exact: May 23, 2024
If there's someone special on your horizon, this transit could make you feel very disappointed when they fail to live up to everything you expect of them. Even if you haven't made contact yet with them, you're in the kind of mind space in which you'll build this person up to be The One -- based on limited information, obviously, and very limited experience with who they really are as a person! Yet off you'll go into fantasy land, dreaming about how things will be between you and all the wonderful love you'll give and receive with this person. High standards like that create a really long fall to the ground when you get a taste of reality -- which is that this person is very different from who you think they are. They might not even like you or be attracted to you, or you might end up not liking them... The list of potential upsets to the relationship is endless, but the only way you can really figure out what your romantic potential is with another person is to start getting to know them. And that's the trouble with this transit: Instead of getting to know this person, you'll be projecting all of your own needs, desires and expectations onto them.
Mars square VenusFrom May 20 to May 28 | Exact: May 22, 2024
If you've been getting to know someone special, you could suddenly start to feel as if you're putting too much into the flirtation and not getting enough out of it. If that happens, you might start wanting a lot more satisfaction from your potential sweetie, which could cause friction between you, to say the least. Or, the exact opposite might happen -- maybe you've been a bit selfish in your pursuit of that special someone, and they're starting to feel like their needs have been unreasonably neglected. This transit lasts about three weeks, and although it won't necessarily lead to arguments, it will signify a need to have a talk of some kind with your potential honey about what you both expect from a relationship and what you're willing to give. If there's no one special in your life at this time, you might become attracted to someone during this period that makes you feel as if your romantic needs aren't being met. There could be a lot of sexual tension between you and this person, but the tension could be more prevalent than any sexy feeling. In general, though, you're feeling sexual during this transit, full of needs that want an outlet -- and may or may not find it.
Mars square SunFrom May 24 to Jun 1 | Exact: May 26, 2024
Good thing your energy is so high during this three-week transit -- you'll need it. In the love and romance arena, you could come up against people who are highly attractive to you, but who challenge you and create friction. Instead of defusing the situation and staying calm, you'll rise to the challenge, jumping into the fray of any argument that comes your way. Not the best way to make a good impression or start a sweet, loving relationship, right? At least, not unless you and that special someone both get off on fighting as foreplay. The energy during this transit lends itself to friction and tension, so if you don't deal with those things well, you could store up a lot of that tension and become really irritable and generally no fun to be around. For that reason, it might be better just to stick to your good friends during this time -- the people who know you well and know how to deal with your bad moods. Go do something fun and active with them, and watch your mouth! Because if you ask out your potential sweetie and then spend the whole date taking offense and picking fights, you could ruin what would have been a good thing almost before it even begins.
Mercury opposite NeptuneFrom May 31 to Jun 3 | Exact: Jun 3, 2024
You're not the best bet in terms of romance during this transit. You might run at the first sign of trouble or conflict with that special someone, and part of the problem will be that you'll probably be making up the conflict in the first place. You're not in the clearest space of mind at this time, and you're very much prone to projecting anything and everything onto your potential sweetie (and everyone else, but that's another story). You might think things are going awry between you when they're not, and you'll react by heading in the opposite direction instead of sticking in there and trying to communicate about the misunderstanding. You're hypersensitive right now, so you're probably reacting negatively to everything, including imagined slights. Another possibility for this transit is that you're subconsciously attracted to people who won't go the distance with you. When you project your confused, oversensitive feelings onto them, instead of talking to you about it, they'll bolt, leaving you feeling even more confused and easily upset. Lying or being lied to is also a strong possibility at this time; you'd best just lie low till this energy passes in a week or so.
Uranus opposite NeptuneFrom Jun 1 to Dec 13
The world that you normally experience as reality -- which is really a construct, one that has been made up by you, your parents and teachers and the other influential people in your life, plus all of your particular experiences -- will be called into question during this time, and depending on certain factors, you could be drawn as a result to someone who is emotionally unstable and generally irrational. This period will especially affect you if you don't have much of a sense of your own spirituality. Everyone has a spiritual soul, after all, but not all of us discover it, at least not until later in life. If you're a late bloomer in that regard, you could meet someone during this period who really turns you on to the more mystical side of life. They'll seem incredibly tuned in to a kind of spiritual awareness that you'll very much want to tap into yourself. But since this is someone else's spiritual reality and not really your own, you could really be led astray, buying into all kinds of ideas and spiritual practices that not only aren't you, they won't work for you and your life. A spiritual awakening is possible, but make sure it's on your own terms.
Mars square MercuryFrom Jun 1 to Jun 9 | Exact: Jun 3, 2024
You should probably find things to do on your own during this transit, because this will be a trouble-filled three weeks if you try to get out into the world and make a good connection with other people. You're feeling very touchy and irritable, and you're quick to take offense at anything that you perceive as threatening to your opinions or perceptions. One of the problems is that you'll be threatened by a lot! Your ego is much too closely linked with your opinions at this time, and you'll feel as if you have to defend your views as if you're defending your life. Arguments are very likely at this time, especially with people you're close with, or people you'd like to be close to. Why wreck a good connection before it even gets started? If you try to go out with someone new now, you're likely to get into heated disputes that will have you both fuming by the end of the night. And if you start an email flirtation with someone now, you'll likely misread everything they say, take it all too personally and read the worst possible scenarios into it. You're better off at this time just keeping to yourself and waiting until you're feeling smoother.
Sun square MarsFrom Jun 4 to Jun 11 | Exact: Jun 9, 2024
If you contact someone or go on a date during this period, don't be surprised if you rub them the wrong way without even meaning to. What might start out as a perfectly good connection could go bad fast if you're argumentative or competitive with them. You might not even mean to argue; you might just think you're being your normal, opinionated self. After all, what's wrong with a little friendly competition between friends? Well, nothing -- as long as you don't push it too far. But the chances are high that you're going to come across as way more aggressive and even offensive than you mean to. If you do decide to contact someone during this period, it might be best to wait a week or two until this hotheaded energy cools off. This transit only comes around twice a year, thank goodness, and it lasts less than two weeks, so your best bet might be to just avoid going out with anyone new until your normal, calmer energy returns, because you just won't make a great impression. Even if you're ordinarily a very modest and unassuming person, your future sweetie could get the wrong impression of you.
Venus square MarsFrom Jun 4 to Jun 9 | Exact: Jun 8, 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 JupiterFrom Jun 6 to Jun 15 | Exact: Jun 13, 2024
How will you use the energy of this transit? Chances are, you'll let it affect you by making you feel resentful of limitations. If there's someone special that you've been getting to know, you could push them away during these three weeks, because all of a sudden, their attention -- and any understanding between you, spoken or unspoken -- will feel like a burden to you. You just want to be free to go out into the world and meet people, mingle with the hotties and take your time in finding that special someone! There's nothing wrong with that, either, as long as you're tactful about it and don't step on anyone's toes. Another possibility during this time is that you'll be generally overbearing and difficult to take for anyone that you're around, be they your potential sweetie or your longtime best friend. You're feeling aggressive, especially about your beliefs; you'll take issue with anyone that you think opposes you, and you might not take the time to stop, listen to them and figure out what they're really trying to say. Foolish risks are a real possibility now, and would obviously be best avoided -- easier said than done.
Mercury square MarsFrom Jun 10 to Jun 12 | Exact: Jun 12, 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.
Venus square PlutoFrom Jun 11 to Jun 15 | Exact: Jun 14, 2024
If there's a special person you've been getting to know, this transit could bring about a change in the relationship that won't be inherently bad, but which could really upset your emotional balance. This period is all about strong emotions and powerful responses. You're in a vulnerable, insecure head space, and if you sense the relationship changing -- maybe your potential sweetie is pulling away, showing less and less potential as a future mate for you -- you could react by clinging tightly and being possessive or manipulative. But you don't even know them well yet; why would you try to control and manipulate them into being yours? You could feel obsessed with someone during this time, and you might have the urge to call them or send them emails multiple times throughout the day, trying to pin them down either physically, if you're not sure where they are or who they're with, or emotionally, if you're uncertain how they feel about you. But manipulating someone into being your sweetie almost never works, so don't even go there. Instead, try to focus on yourself during this transit and take this chance to investigate your deepest, darkest relationship issues.
Sun square PlutoFrom Jun 13 to Jun 19 | Exact: Jun 17, 2024
Ooh -- this could be an intense couple of weeks, and not in a good way. Your best bet right now is to drop out of the dating scene for a while, because you're not in the right frame of mind to attract good people your way. If you try to make contact with someone during this period, it's likely to go awry. If you go on a first date now, you'll probably end up arguing with them -- a perfect stranger! This period is all about strange power struggles and needless strife. You could feel emotional in an unusual way; you might not realize it, but you're under the sway of your own, deep past at this time, and old hurts will come bubbling to the surface, making you as sensitive as a newborn baby. Anything and everything will get under your skin and you'll react with anger, or at least hurt; and that's no way to start a new relationship or get to know someone. Instead of making contact with that special someone, put it off for a week or two. In the meantime, do something creative -- keep a daily journal of your thoughts, write a short story, paint a picture. Getting in touch with your creative self can get straight to your deeper levels and will help ease you through this otherwise difficult period.
Mercury square PlutoFrom Jun 14 to Jun 16 | Exact: Jun 15, 2024
If you find yourself thinking about your potential sweetie with increasing frequency, take it as a sign that the obsessive, potentially destructive energy of this transit is getting to you. On the other hand, your obsessiveness could take a different form altogether: instead of talking openly and calmly with someone new, you could become intent on figuring out exactly who they are, and you'll pay way too much attention to the details and not enough to the overall picture they're presenting you. You might overanalyze a phone message or email from that special someone, wondering over and over, What did they mean by that? Why would they say such a thing? This is the kind of problem that requires a little perspective (or a lot), the kind you can only get from distance or from objective parties who know you well. Get a good, trusted friend's perspective before you start freaking out. If you're obsessing over someone, feeling like your attraction is bigger than anything else that's going on in your life, take it as a sign that you need to step back and pay attention to something else in order to bring things back into balance.
Mercury square UranusFrom Jun 19 to Jun 21 | Exact: Jun 21, 2024
This transit could push you to go beyond foot-in-mouth disease; instead of accidentally stepping on people's toes, you'll be doing it on purpose, just to get a reaction. If you make the mistake of going out with someone who's straitlaced and reserved, you'll really turn them off with what will come across as willful rebellion on your part. But what are you rebelling against? You want to find a relationship that satisfies you, right? Maybe you're not in touch with that during this transit. It could put you in a strange head space in which you're not sure what you want -- you only know what you don't want, and that's restrictions and normalcy of any kind. The idea of a traditional, standard date -- dinner and a movie, and conversations about your jobs, your families, blah, blah, blah -- could fill your soul with a nameless horror at this time, even if normally that would sound really comfy and appealing! The problem is, you'll make your potential sweetie feel too dull and boring for you. If you really do find them dull and boring, you could do something you'll later regret in the name of making things interesting in the moment.
Venus square UranusFrom Jun 20 to Jun 25 | Exact: Jun 24, 2024
You're feeling flirty and restless, and you're not in the mood to put up with the same old stuff -- even if it's stuff you like. If you've been getting to know someone special lately, this transit might change things between you. You're in the mood for something new, which could mean a variety of things -- maybe you'll start a fight, because conflict seems more interesting to you than getting along; or maybe you'll cut off the relationship and move on to someone new. It's not likely that you'll do anything that drastic unless other, concurrent transits support making rash decisions and big changes, but still, do be careful under this energy's influence. You might do or say something you'll regret later, and you'll have to clean up any mess you make during this time. If you go out with someone new, they'll likely find you interesting and fun, but not very warm emotionally; you're not interested in love and affection now, after all. You're more interested in experience, and the newer and more unusual, the better. You might be better off not going out with anyone new now, because you're not the most reliable date around.
Mercury opposite VenusFrom Jun 22 to Jun 25 | Exact: Jun 25, 2024
You'll have a hard time seeing that special someone for who they are during this transit, which lasts less than two weeks -- thank goodness. You're in a head space in which all your romantic ideas about what you're looking for in love, or maybe it's all your insecurities about whether you're ever going to find it, are clouding your mind and your judgment, making it hard for you to look at people and relationships realistically. You might end up projecting whatever it is that you're looking for onto the object of your desires, whether or not it really fits who they are and what their intentions regarding you might be. Or you might feel down in the dumps, vulnerable and sure it's never going to happen for you...when really there's someone special waiting for you right around the corner. Either way is unfortunate, because you're not seeing reality; you're looking at the world through a filter of your own making. Instead of trying to slog through the mess of your communication and figure out who this person is and what they're looking for in love, you're probably better off just taking a week or so away from the dating game.
Sun square UranusFrom Jun 25 to Jul 1 | Exact: Jun 29, 2024
A sudden need for space will make this period of a week or two very difficult in terms of getting intimate with that special someone. Regardless of how you felt last week, this week is different, and you're just not in the mood to be tied down! If you've been communicating with someone in a way that seemed like it was going to lead someplace special, you could really let them down at this time. You just won't be your usual, reliable self; you'll show up late for dates, you'll tell them you'll call and then don't, or you'll seem distracted or even uninterested when you're talking with them on the phone or out on a date. Obviously, now is not the time to contact someone new, because you won't come across as a very good bet in terms of starting a new relationship. Now, if you're just looking for something quick and exciting, this period could bring that to you -- but don't expect it to end cleanly. You're definitely better off just going out, having a good time and not making any promises. It would be a shame to let someone down just because you were being indiscriminate in your attentions.
Mercury opposite SunFrom Jun 26 to Jun 29
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.
Mercury opposite MercuryFrom Jun 29 to Jul 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.
Venus opposite VenusFrom Jun 29 to Jul 5 | Exact: Jun 30, 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.
Mercury square SaturnFrom Jul 1 to Jul 4 | Exact: Jul 3, 2024
Any fears or insecurities you may have about relationships or whether you'll ever find true love will be exacerbated during this period to a high degree. You won't feel confident about your ability to give and receive love, and you'll respond with cynicism. If you go out on a date at this time, you won't make the impression you'll want to make, because your negative attitude will come across to that special someone, which will turn them off -- and that, in turn, will confirm your worst fears, that you're unlovable. But you're very lovable! You're just going through a crisis of confidence, and you're thinking way too hard about love, a subject that's abstract at best. You may want to take a week or so off from dating during this transit, and do things that will restore your hope and faith in love: rent some romantic comedies that will make you laugh and cry and reconnect with your loving side; talk to friends who've found their perfect match; take a walk outside and reconnect with the magic of nature and the universe. Love is out there for you; you just have to be in the right frame of mind to receive it. Unfortunately, this transit is probably not that time.
Mercury square JupiterFrom Jul 1 to Jul 5 | Exact: Jul 4, 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!
Sun opposite VenusFrom Jul 2 to Jul 9 | Exact: Jul 8, 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 SunFrom Jul 2 to Jul 7 | Exact: Jul 3, 2024
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.

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.

Your anxieties and doubts about your love life could cause you to pull away from that special someone that you've been getting to know or wanting to make contact with. You're not feeling warm and loving during this transit, that's for sure. You'll probably have a hard time relating to potential mates, and flirting just won't be your forte. If you go out to a party, you might end up standing in the corner by yourself, because you're putting out a strong don't-mess-with-me vibe. And why are you doing that? You might feel pessimistic about love and your ability to give or receive it. Or you might really, really want to reach out to someone, but you just can't seem to come across as calm and confident and warm as you'd like. You're just not feeling it inside; instead, you're feeling like someone or something is hanging over your shoulder, telling you you're doing it all wrong, and bad things are going to result! That's not true, of course; it's all internal. But since you're so hard to satisfy at this time, you might want to stay away from any potential lovers until you're feeling more warmhearted and accessible.

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.

This one could go either way. You're operating under a strange and interesting energy, and it could either make you feel uncomfortable or it could leave you feeling excited, turned on and tuned in! It all depends on you. You might be attracted at this time to someone who's really different from you, and you'll be simultaneously annoyed by and drawn to those differences. Whether this will be a relationship that lasts remains to be seen. Some folks thrive on connections with people who challenge and stimulate them, but other people like to be more comfortable. Which type are you? If you fall into the second category, you might want to wait a week or two before making contact with anyone new, because this period will probably leave you feeling out of sorts, and you'll be guarded around anyone who seems too different or unusual. But if you're into unique types who keep you on your toes, by all means, send that hottie an email or ask them out! Just don't expect to be two peas in a pod. The energy of this transit is all about an interesting, even uncomfortable challenge.
Mars opposite NeptuneFrom Jul 12 to Jul 23 | Exact: Jul 20, 2024
You're not in the best mind frame to meet someone special or make a satisfying connection during this three-week transit, because pessimism and idealism will both stand in the way of seeing someone for who they are and accepting them realistically. Due to your negative outlook during this time, you'll subconsciously attract people who aren't worth your time and attention. You might find out that someone you were interested in actually lied to you about themselves or their availability, or that they just weren't entirely straightforward with you about something. The discovery will hurt, and will only increase your feelings of doubt and pessimism about love in general. But just because one person does that kind of thing doesn't mean everyone will. In this case, one bad apple shouldn't spoil the whole bunch. Don't let it affect your hopes for the future. It's even possible that this person didn't really lie to you -- that you, in fact, failed to read their signals correctly, because you're not in the clearest frame of mind during this period. A word of caution: If you do go out on a date now, avoid drinking dates. You're more susceptible than usual to alcohol.

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.
Sun square SaturnFrom Jul 19 to Jul 25 | Exact: Jul 24, 2024
This isn't a great time to contact someone new. You'll take things too seriously, and you could actually unwittingly attract controlling types who would make you miserable if you were to get romantically involved with them. If you do go out with someone new, don't be surprised if both of you are frustrated with your interaction. It will be hard to get to know them as they are, because you'll be in self-defense mode without even realizing it. Chances are good that you'll need to defend yourself, for you'll find that you're getting involved with people who will criticize you, without knowing you or what's important to you! Instead of getting into an argument, you'd be much better off just calling a spade a spade. While you shouldn't be too judgmental of anyone during this period, since you're likely to get the wrong impression, you also shouldn't try to force a connection that's just not there. In fact, you'd be much better off waiting a week or two until this tricky influence passes. You've waited this long to find that special someone; you can stand to wait a few more days before contacting someone new.
Mercury square NeptuneFrom Jul 20 to Jul 28 | Exact: Jul 25, 2024
That special someone could seem either really wonderful at this time, or really inscrutable. Whichever way this transit goes for you, you'll have a hard time getting an accurate read on someone. You might feel confused when you talk with them, unsure as to their intentions and motives or who they are at a basic level; or you might think you do have a good handle on who they are, only to find out later that you were wrong. The problem is that you're reading all kinds of signals at this time, including ones that aren't even coming from your potential sweetie. You might project feelings and qualities onto them that are yours, not theirs. And worse, you might wake up at the end of this two-week period feeling depressed and disillusioned, because you got yourself involved with someone that you didn't really know; someone who turned out to be quite different from who you thought they were. You run a high risk during this transit of misleading and even deceiving yourself. While you're likely to be overly trusting, you could also feel hypersensitive, even suspicious when you don't need to be. Be sure to take your time in getting to know someone.
Sun square JupiterFrom Jul 20 to Jul 27 | Exact: Jul 25, 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.

If the dating scene falls short of your expectations during this transit, that's okay. You might be more easily satisfied by your daydreams and fantasies of the Perfect Love, anyway. Oftentimes the fantasy is better than the reality! If you do try to make contact with someone at this time, you'll probably idealize them to the point that they're way up on a pedestal, and they won't know how to get down. You could become really disappointed and disillusioned when you finally realize that they're just a normal, flawed person, so you might be better off just avoiding real relationships for now. There's nothing wrong with taking a week or two off to indulge your fantasies, and those fantasies could inspire you to have some really unrealistic expectations of love and real relationships. After all, even the best ones take work and maintenance, and you're probably just not in the mood for that now. You want to experience Perfect Love -- an ideal that you make up for yourself, and that can only exist in your imagination. So spend some time alone until your reason returns. Watch some romantic movies; take a bubble bath; pamper yourself and nurture your faith in love.

You're feeling impulsive now, and while you might take that as a prompt to act out however you're feeling, you really might regret it later. These three weeks could be really challenging for you. You're likely to stick your foot in your mouth at the very least, saying things you'll later wish you hadn't. Your grasp of what's appropriate or inappropriate is made very tenuous by the energies of this transit; if you're attracted to someone special at this time, you'll either spark arguments with them or you'll find that they're of an aggressive nature themselves, and they'll pick fights with you. Whoever starts it, it won't be any fun for you or for them! Explosive energy is the name of the game at this time, so you might do much better to get work done around the house or the yard and avoid dating altogether until this energy passes. Otherwise, you might push away someone that you could have had a really nice connection with. You'll probably make the wrong impression on anyone that doesn't know you, so stick to your friends at this time -- the people who already know how to handle you when you're feeling feisty.

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.
Sun square NeptuneFrom Aug 17 to Aug 24 | Exact: Aug 22, 2024
Don't go on any dates during this period that involve drinking, even if it's just one drink at happy hour. You're just too impressionable and vulnerable at this time, and you'd be better off not going out at all, except with people you know and trust. The problem is, you're open to influences -- any influence that comes your way. Your normal defense mechanisms just aren't in place, and neither are your boundaries. At the very least, anyone you date during this period will confuse you or make you feel uncomfortable. You'll have the sense that you don't exactly know what's going on; something is happening under the surface or behind the scenes. You won't be able to get a clear read on them or their intentions, even if you're ordinarily a very perceptive person. Part of the problem won't just be in your mind, either -- at this time you'll attract slippery types without meaning to. If that special someone seems evasive and hard to read, they might really be difficult to pin down. Either way, you'd be better off waiting a week or two to contact them or go out on a date. Until your head is clearer, you'll just have too much trouble keeping your wits about you.

This may not be the best period of your life in terms of romance and relationships, because you'll be very averse to facing the reality of your affairs. Instead of getting involved with someone new, you might choose to drown yourself in memories of an old love affair. Or you might go ahead and get involved with someone, only instead of dealing with them as the person that they are, you'll end up filtering your relationship with them through something that's deep in your past, projecting an old love onto this new person. That's not a fair way to treat someone, as it's basically ignoring their true needs and personality. But you might not be able to stop yourself; fantasizing about the past will seem more appealing than facing the present, especially if a new love affair ends in an unpleasant way. If you do experience the failure of a relationship during this time, even one that barely got off the ground, you're likely to brood about it for a long time instead of letting it go and moving on. Your sentimentalism is on high, and everything will seem imbued with special, melancholy significance; even people and situations that don't warrant it.

You might feel like you can do no wrong during this four-month transit, because the energy influencing you at this time fills you with confidence and makes you assertive in the extreme. You're full of yourself, your own power and attractiveness, and you'll probably want to reach out to that cute person who's caught your eye and let them know who you are. There's nothing wrong with that, of course; the problem is, you might come on way too strong and end up alienating them -- even if under other, more normal circumstances, they would have really gone for you. Even if they're attracted to your newfound confidence and want to know more about you, you could end up going overboard if you go out with them -- eating or drinking too much, or even spraining an ankle if you get overconfident in your ability to make that dunk shot or execute that perfect salsa move! Having to be carted home would just be embarrassing, so try to tone it down if you possibly can. This transit lasts several months, so you shouldn't stay away from dating altogether, but do try to be cautious and temperate about how you approach people.

You could get into a really competitive space with a potential sweetie at this time -- and they might not be so sweet, or at least they won't seem to be. This transit will present power struggles galore, and it will be up to you to figure out how to deal with them. The truth is, your impulse almost every time will be to argue, manipulate, struggle and resist -- whatever it takes to push off this threatening influence. Except you might imagine that someone's challenging you, when they really aren't doing that at all. Whether it's you or them, the feeling will be the same. You'll struggle and it won't be any fun. If someone you've been interested in turns out not to be the nicest person in the world, you might get a strong vindictive urge to do something to get back at them -- but if that happens, don't do it. Just let them go, as hard as it is, and keep going along your own path. Revenge and vindictiveness are never a good idea. In fact, the best idea during this difficult transit might be to divert all your strong energy into something at home or work -- gardening, maybe, or getting that big report or other project done at the office.

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.

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.
Mars square UranusFrom Sep 11 to Sep 22 | Exact: Sep 19, 2024
You're feeling restless and impulsive, and you could get into trouble during this transit, or at least do and say things you'll regret later. You might be tempted to break off an existing flirtation in favor of pursuing someone new, but you might find later that you were just attracted to the newness itself, and they're actually not someone you want to be involved with long-term. If all you want is a quick, heady fling, that's okay. But in general, you've been looking for love, and this transit could cause a break that you don't expect or even want. Of course, if you need a change, to break out of a rut you've been in on the dating scene, this transit offers you the perfect opportunity to do just that. But the positive potential of this transit is limited, while the troublesome effects are much more likely. If you go out with someone at this time, you'll probably come across as detached and uncaring -- or you could subconsciously be attracted to someone who will be that way toward you. You're also easily angered during this time, and you'll argue with anyone whom you feel is trying to hold you down, including that sweetie who's just trying to get to know you.

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.

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.

There's a small chance that you'll get into arguments with that special someone during this transit, because this energy paired up with the influence of a more difficult transit could result in misunderstandings. But on its own, this transit is pleasant and lighthearted, and it puts you in a nice, easy mood, ready for fun. You won't want to argue with anyone; you just don't have the heart for it now, and you might be overly appeasing instead of standing up for yourself during these couple of weeks, because you just don't want to fight. It's okay to avoid confrontation, as long as you're not letting someone walk all over you. You want to have fun and be entertained during this transit, and if you can find a buddy with potential for more to accompany you, so much the better. Just make sure they're a nice person and that they're treating you well! Your tendency now is to keep the peace, no matter what, so make it a point to be around pleasant people. Your best bet might be to keep things light for a week or so. If someone has caught your eye and you want to make contact, do so with a certain amount of caution; go have fun, but don't jump in headfirst.

Either your outside responsibilities are weighing heavily on you now -- you have too much work to do to go out and have a good time, or family obligations are trumping your dating life -- or you're just feeling emotionally closed off and unavailable. Either way, that special someone might try to get through to you and make a warm, affectionate connection, and you won't be able to respond in kind. Faking it would be the worst way to deal with this, because they'll pick up on your lack of sincerity and it'll only make things awkward! So don't pretend warmth when you don't feel it. And don't make promises you can't keep. If you have too much work to have fun, just buckle down and get it done; don't accept an invitation for a date and then work late to meet all your responsibilities, because you'll just seem harried and preoccupied when you go out with your cutie. This transit is blessedly short, so take comfort in that. Your warm, loving feelings will probably return as soon as this trying energy passes, so don't waste time feeling anxious that this is the way it's always going to be. It's just a phase!

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.

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.

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.
Mercury square SunFrom Oct 6 to Oct 10 | Exact: Oct 7, 2024
This period lasts less than two weeks, which is a good thing -- because it won't be a lot of fun. If you reach out to someone special, you'll find that you keep misunderstanding them and feeling misunderstood yourself. You might even get into arguments if you go out with someone at this time; you'll want to connect, but instead your differences of opinion will feel divisive. You could feel defensive about your own position, as if you really need to represent your own point of view in a strong and combative way. Under the surface, you're identifying too much with your own feelings, thoughts and perceptions at this time; if someone disagrees with you, it'll feel as if they're rejecting you as a person, even though that's not what's really happening. Obviously, this isn't a great impression to make on someone new; you'll just come across as defensive, combative or whiny if you try to make a good connection with them. And you'll see them as challenging and contrary! You're better off waiting a couple of weeks to contact someone who catches your eye, or at least taking everything they say with a big grain of salt.

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...
Mercury square MercuryFrom Oct 10 to Oct 13 | Exact: Oct 11, 2024
Don't expect to find your mental twin during this period, which, thankfully, will last less than two weeks. Even the people you know well will probably get on your nerves and challenge you! At least, you'll think that's what's happening, when in fact, you're the one who feels argumentative and contrary. Anyone who presents an opposing opinion to yours will receive an earful from you, so you might do best sticking to your tried-and-true friends during this period instead of reaching out to someone new. You're irritable and easily aroused -- not in the good sense -- and you'll just make the wrong impression. That special someone might not want to contact you again if they get a taste of your combative energy! You're in a head space in which you think yours is the only right way of looking at things, and you might act like someone is stupid or dense for having an alternative viewpoint. Even if you're not feeling argumentative, the energy of this transit might just confuse you. You could have a hard time picking up on someone's obvious signals. This isn't a great time to make a romantic connection; wait a week or two for your head to clear.
Mercury opposite SaturnFrom Oct 11 to Oct 15 | Exact: Oct 14, 2024
If you're ordinarily a shy, reserved type, you'll really feel that way during this transit, because its energy will increase your fears and insecurities about finding love and will make it harder than usual for you to reach out to someone special. If you do make contact or go out on a date, don't be surprised if neither of you has a great time. You're subconsciously attracted to people now who will uphold the negative way you're seeing yourself. You'll be drawn to cool, unemotional types who won't make you feel appealing or appreciated. And you'll be this way with them, too; you basically will have a very hard time connecting with anyone in a warm and positive way. This might be a good time to stay home and watch a romantic comedy on DVD, to renew your sense of humor and your faith in finding your match. If you do make contact with someone at this time, remind yourself to be friendly and warm with them! You might even have to fake it, if you can't summon up any honest sensations of excitement or affection. Better yet, just wait a couple of weeks, and make contact then, when you're feeling more like yourself again.
Sun square SunFrom Oct 11 to Oct 17 | Exact: Oct 12, 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.
Sun square MercuryFrom Oct 14 to Oct 20 | Exact: Oct 18, 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.

If you feel uncomfortable with someone new during this period, don't try to talk yourself out of it or pass it off to yourself as just fine. Your instincts are probably right on if you're feeling uncomfortable, because during this week-plus period, you're not very good at setting boundaries. You could unwittingly attract people who want to take advantage of you -- people who have their own agenda, and don't care about yours. Now, this shouldn't be overstated; it's possible that you can find someone new during this period who's a perfectly nice person, someone you could really get along with. Just don't make any snap judgments or get too intimate with anyone until this tricky energy passes. If you do make contact with someone new or go out on a date, reserve judgment for a couple of weeks until your head clears and you can make a more accurate assessment of who this person is and whether or not they're good for you. Good thing this transit only happens once a year! Because it won't likely be a lot of fun. You might just feel thwarted in your love life, but don't lose heart. In a week or two, things will pick up again.
Mars opposite MercuryFrom Oct 20 to Nov 9 | Exact: Oct 24, 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.
Mars square SaturnFrom Oct 27 to Nov 17 | Exact: Nov 10, 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 square MarsFrom Oct 30 to Nov 3 | Exact: Nov 2, 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.

Your judgment might be out of balance during this transit, and paired with your tendency toward overconfidence and impulsive, risky behaviors... Well, you can see what that might spell out in terms of romance. You could jump in headfirst with someone that you don't really know, thinking yourself in love, head over heels with this new, exciting person -- onto whom you're projecting all sorts of things! That's right; you're not in any kind of mental shape to make accurate assessments during these three weeks. Instead, you'll see what you want to see. You could be impulsive and pushy at this time, and you might end up pushing someone away that could have become very special to you if you'd dealt with them in a calmer, more reserved way. Not everyone wants to jump headlong into a love affair, after all; not even you, most times. It's just the heady energy of this transit, seeping into your brain and impelling you do and say things you normally wouldn't. Try to take it easy now, because you might do things you'll regret later. The best of relationships take planning and building of a foundation, and that's what you should be focused on -- not seeking an emotional thrill ride.
Venus square PlutoFrom Nov 5 to Nov 10 | Exact: Nov 9, 2024
If there's a special person you've been getting to know, this transit could bring about a change in the relationship that won't be inherently bad, but which could really upset your emotional balance. This period is all about strong emotions and powerful responses. You're in a vulnerable, insecure head space, and if you sense the relationship changing -- maybe your potential sweetie is pulling away, showing less and less potential as a future mate for you -- you could react by clinging tightly and being possessive or manipulative. But you don't even know them well yet; why would you try to control and manipulate them into being yours? You could feel obsessed with someone during this time, and you might have the urge to call them or send them emails multiple times throughout the day, trying to pin them down either physically, if you're not sure where they are or who they're with, or emotionally, if you're uncertain how they feel about you. But manipulating someone into being your sweetie almost never works, so don't even go there. Instead, try to focus on yourself during this transit and take this chance to investigate your deepest, darkest relationship issues.

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.
Venus square UranusFrom Nov 15 to Nov 20 | Exact: Nov 18, 2024
You're feeling flirty and restless, and you're not in the mood to put up with the same old stuff -- even if it's stuff you like. If you've been getting to know someone special lately, this transit might change things between you. You're in the mood for something new, which could mean a variety of things -- maybe you'll start a fight, because conflict seems more interesting to you than getting along; or maybe you'll cut off the relationship and move on to someone new. It's not likely that you'll do anything that drastic unless other, concurrent transits support making rash decisions and big changes, but still, do be careful under this energy's influence. You might do or say something you'll regret later, and you'll have to clean up any mess you make during this time. If you go out with someone new, they'll likely find you interesting and fun, but not very warm emotionally; you're not interested in love and affection now, after all. You're more interested in experience, and the newer and more unusual, the better. You might be better off not going out with anyone new now, because you're not the most reliable date around.
Mercury square PlutoFrom Nov 24 to Nov 27
If you find yourself thinking about your potential sweetie with increasing frequency, take it as a sign that the obsessive, potentially destructive energy of this transit is getting to you. On the other hand, your obsessiveness could take a different form altogether: instead of talking openly and calmly with someone new, you could become intent on figuring out exactly who they are, and you'll pay way too much attention to the details and not enough to the overall picture they're presenting you. You might overanalyze a phone message or email from that special someone, wondering over and over, What did they mean by that? Why would they say such a thing? This is the kind of problem that requires a little perspective (or a lot), the kind you can only get from distance or from objective parties who know you well. Get a good, trusted friend's perspective before you start freaking out. If you're obsessing over someone, feeling like your attraction is bigger than anything else that's going on in your life, take it as a sign that you need to step back and pay attention to something else in order to bring things back into balance.

Are you trying too hard during this period to control the conversation when you're out on a date with someone new? If you feel unnecessarily challenged or misunderstood, it could actually be a sign that you're not listening well enough yourself. This two-to-three-year transit is all about old, not so positive relationship karma coming back to haunt you until you face it down and deal with it. In what ways have you been rigid or controlling about love in the past? Whatever it is that you visited on your lovers, you can expect it to come back around full-circle now and be visited upon you. A big possibility during this period is that you'll feel forced into a course of action that you really don't want to follow, and you'll feel very tense as a result. If you make a commitment to a lover, for example, even willingly, you could immediately start to feel resentful of the loss of your freedom. This transit serves as a test; its challenging energies are challenging you to step up to the plate and learn something. Any struggles you go through now, romantically or otherwise, will be worth it as long as you learn something from them in the end.

Your anxieties and doubts about your love life could cause you to pull away from that special someone that you've been getting to know or wanting to make contact with. You're not feeling warm and loving during this transit, that's for sure. You'll probably have a hard time relating to potential mates, and flirting just won't be your forte. If you go out to a party, you might end up standing in the corner by yourself, because you're putting out a strong don't-mess-with-me vibe. And why are you doing that? You might feel pessimistic about love and your ability to give or receive it. Or you might really, really want to reach out to someone, but you just can't seem to come across as calm and confident and warm as you'd like. You're just not feeling it inside; instead, you're feeling like someone or something is hanging over your shoulder, telling you you're doing it all wrong, and bad things are going to result! That's not true, of course; it's all internal. But since you're so hard to satisfy at this time, you might want to stay away from any potential lovers until you're feeling more warmhearted and accessible.

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.

If you contact someone or go on a date during this period, don't be surprised if you rub them the wrong way without even meaning to. What might start out as a perfectly good connection could go bad fast if you're argumentative or competitive with them. You might not even mean to argue; you might just think you're being your normal, opinionated self. After all, what's wrong with a little friendly competition between friends? Well, nothing -- as long as you don't push it too far. But the chances are high that you're going to come across as way more aggressive and even offensive than you mean to. If you do decide to contact someone during this period, it might be best to wait a week or two until this hotheaded energy cools off. This transit only comes around twice a year, thank goodness, and it lasts less than two weeks, so your best bet might be to just avoid going out with anyone new until your normal, calmer energy returns, because you just won't make a great impression. Even if you're ordinarily a very modest and unassuming person, your future sweetie could get the wrong impression of you.

Ooh -- this could be an intense couple of weeks, and not in a good way. Your best bet right now is to drop out of the dating scene for a while, because you're not in the right frame of mind to attract good people your way. If you try to make contact with someone during this period, it's likely to go awry. If you go on a first date now, you'll probably end up arguing with them -- a perfect stranger! This period is all about strange power struggles and needless strife. You could feel emotional in an unusual way; you might not realize it, but you're under the sway of your own, deep past at this time, and old hurts will come bubbling to the surface, making you as sensitive as a newborn baby. Anything and everything will get under your skin and you'll react with anger, or at least hurt; and that's no way to start a new relationship or get to know someone. Instead of making contact with that special someone, put it off for a week or two. In the meantime, do something creative -- keep a daily journal of your thoughts, write a short story, paint a picture. Getting in touch with your creative self can get straight to your deeper levels and will help ease you through this otherwise difficult period.

A sudden need for space will make this period of a week or two very difficult in terms of getting intimate with that special someone. Regardless of how you felt last week, this week is different, and you're just not in the mood to be tied down! If you've been communicating with someone in a way that seemed like it was going to lead someplace special, you could really let them down at this time. You just won't be your usual, reliable self; you'll show up late for dates, you'll tell them you'll call and then don't, or you'll seem distracted or even uninterested when you're talking with them on the phone or out on a date. Obviously, now is not the time to contact someone new, because you won't come across as a very good bet in terms of starting a new relationship. Now, if you're just looking for something quick and exciting, this period could bring that to you -- but don't expect it to end cleanly. You're definitely better off just going out, having a good time and not making any promises. It would be a shame to let someone down just because you were being indiscriminate in your attentions.

If the dating scene falls short of your expectations during this transit, that's okay. You might be more easily satisfied by your daydreams and fantasies of the Perfect Love, anyway. Oftentimes the fantasy is better than the reality! If you do try to make contact with someone at this time, you'll probably idealize them to the point that they're way up on a pedestal, and they won't know how to get down. You could become really disappointed and disillusioned when you finally realize that they're just a normal, flawed person, so you might be better off just avoiding real relationships for now. There's nothing wrong with taking a week or two off to indulge your fantasies, and those fantasies could inspire you to have some really unrealistic expectations of love and real relationships. After all, even the best ones take work and maintenance, and you're probably just not in the mood for that now. You want to experience Perfect Love -- an ideal that you make up for yourself, and that can only exist in your imagination. So spend some time alone until your reason returns. Watch some romantic movies; take a bubble bath; pamper yourself and nurture your faith in love.

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.

If you find yourself thinking about your potential sweetie with increasing frequency, take it as a sign that the obsessive, potentially destructive energy of this transit is getting to you. On the other hand, your obsessiveness could take a different form altogether: instead of talking openly and calmly with someone new, you could become intent on figuring out exactly who they are, and you'll pay way too much attention to the details and not enough to the overall picture they're presenting you. You might overanalyze a phone message or email from that special someone, wondering over and over, What did they mean by that? Why would they say such a thing? This is the kind of problem that requires a little perspective (or a lot), the kind you can only get from distance or from objective parties who know you well. Get a good, trusted friend's perspective before you start freaking out. If you're obsessing over someone, feeling like your attraction is bigger than anything else that's going on in your life, take it as a sign that you need to step back and pay attention to something else in order to bring things back into balance.

This transit could push you to go beyond foot-in-mouth disease; instead of accidentally stepping on people's toes, you'll be doing it on purpose, just to get a reaction. If you make the mistake of going out with someone who's straitlaced and reserved, you'll really turn them off with what will come across as willful rebellion on your part. But what are you rebelling against? You want to find a relationship that satisfies you, right? Maybe you're not in touch with that during this transit. It could put you in a strange head space in which you're not sure what you want -- you only know what you don't want, and that's restrictions and normalcy of any kind. The idea of a traditional, standard date -- dinner and a movie, and conversations about your jobs, your families, blah, blah, blah -- could fill your soul with a nameless horror at this time, even if normally that would sound really comfy and appealing! The problem is, you'll make your potential sweetie feel too dull and boring for you. If you really do find them dull and boring, you could do something you'll later regret in the name of making things interesting in the moment.
Pluto square JupiterFrom Jan 16 to Apr 18 | Exact: Apr 1, 2025
You'll feel invincible during this period, so you'll go after your ambitions with a ruthlessness uncharacteristic of you. At work, this could work out in your favor, as long as you make sure not to step on anyone's toes or burn any bridges. In your love life, taking an overly aggressive or arrogant approach to dating just doesn't work. For one thing, you're in touch now with the fact that you want and expect honesty from a lover, and that's a good thing. If you catch that special someone in a little white lie, you're likely to be very self-righteous with them about the fact that you'd never do a thing like that in a million years, and yada, yada, yada -- forgetting the fact that you're human, just like they are, and you very well might do something like exaggerating about yourself to seem more impressive, or any of the other ways people tend to be just a little less than honest with each other when they're first getting to know one another. Make sure that you deal with your dates -- and your coworkers, and everyone else in your life -- with kindness as well as sincerity. Being manipulative or arrogant just won't serve you, either in the short term or the long run.
Mars opposite SunFrom Jan 16 to Feb 9 | Exact: Feb 1, 2025
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 square SaturnFrom Jan 17 to Jan 23 | Exact: Jan 21, 2025
This isn't a great time to contact someone new. You'll take things too seriously, and you could actually unwittingly attract controlling types who would make you miserable if you were to get romantically involved with them. If you do go out with someone new, don't be surprised if both of you are frustrated with your interaction. It will be hard to get to know them as they are, because you'll be in self-defense mode without even realizing it. Chances are good that you'll need to defend yourself, for you'll find that you're getting involved with people who will criticize you, without knowing you or what's important to you! Instead of getting into an argument, you'd be much better off just calling a spade a spade. While you shouldn't be too judgmental of anyone during this period, since you're likely to get the wrong impression, you also shouldn't try to force a connection that's just not there. In fact, you'd be much better off waiting a week or two until this tricky influence passes. You've waited this long to find that special someone; you can stand to wait a few more days before contacting someone new.
Sun square JupiterFrom Jan 18 to Jan 24 | Exact: Jan 23, 2025
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 opposite PlutoFrom Jan 24 to Feb 2 | Exact: Jan 31, 2025
You'll have some deep desires during this transit, and they might or might not get you into trouble. You could be drawn to someone beyond anything you've experienced in a while, because they will represent something erotically transcendent to you. At a deep level, you want to be changed by love and sex, to be transported to a brand-new consciousness. If there's someone you've already been getting to know, this might be the period of time when you push to move the relationship to the next level -- or you might completely shift focus onto someone new that you just can't stop thinking about. Obsession is a big possibility during this time, and especially erotic obsession. You might find yourself lying awake for long hours, dreaming of this person and really working yourself up. Due to the intensity of your feelings, you might think the relationship itself is intense -- that it's meant to be in some deeply fated or karmic way. But thinking that way overlooks the fact that you don't really know this person. Whatever erotic attraction you're feeling is, at this point, basically a projection -- something you've made up in your mind. Try to tone it down.
Mars opposite VenusFrom Jan 25 to Mar 28 | Exact: Feb 23, 2025
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.
Mercury square SaturnFrom Jan 26 to Jan 29 | Exact: Jan 29, 2025
Any fears or insecurities you may have about relationships or whether you'll ever find true love will be exacerbated during this period to a high degree. You won't feel confident about your ability to give and receive love, and you'll respond with cynicism. If you go out on a date at this time, you won't make the impression you'll want to make, because your negative attitude will come across to that special someone, which will turn them off -- and that, in turn, will confirm your worst fears, that you're unlovable. But you're very lovable! You're just going through a crisis of confidence, and you're thinking way too hard about love, a subject that's abstract at best. You may want to take a week or so off from dating during this transit, and do things that will restore your hope and faith in love: rent some romantic comedies that will make you laugh and cry and reconnect with your loving side; talk to friends who've found their perfect match; take a walk outside and reconnect with the magic of nature and the universe. Love is out there for you; you just have to be in the right frame of mind to receive it. Unfortunately, this transit is probably not that time.
Mercury square JupiterFrom Jan 27 to Jan 30 | Exact: Jan 29, 2025
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!

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 NeptuneFrom Feb 12 to Feb 14 | Exact: Feb 14, 2025
That special someone could seem either really wonderful at this time, or really inscrutable. Whichever way this transit goes for you, you'll have a hard time getting an accurate read on someone. You might feel confused when you talk with them, unsure as to their intentions and motives or who they are at a basic level; or you might think you do have a good handle on who they are, only to find out later that you were wrong. The problem is that you're reading all kinds of signals at this time, including ones that aren't even coming from your potential sweetie. You might project feelings and qualities onto them that are yours, not theirs. And worse, you might wake up at the end of this two-week period feeling depressed and disillusioned, because you got yourself involved with someone that you didn't really know; someone who turned out to be quite different from who you thought they were. You run a high risk during this transit of misleading and even deceiving yourself. While you're likely to be overly trusting, you could also feel hypersensitive, even suspicious when you don't need to be. Be sure to take your time in getting to know someone.
Sun square NeptuneFrom Feb 13 to Feb 19 | Exact: Feb 18, 2025
Don't go on any dates during this period that involve drinking, even if it's just one drink at happy hour. You're just too impressionable and vulnerable at this time, and you'd be better off not going out at all, except with people you know and trust. The problem is, you're open to influences -- any influence that comes your way. Your normal defense mechanisms just aren't in place, and neither are your boundaries. At the very least, anyone you date during this period will confuse you or make you feel uncomfortable. You'll have the sense that you don't exactly know what's going on; something is happening under the surface or behind the scenes. You won't be able to get a clear read on them or their intentions, even if you're ordinarily a very perceptive person. Part of the problem won't just be in your mind, either -- at this time you'll attract slippery types without meaning to. If that special someone seems evasive and hard to read, they might really be difficult to pin down. Either way, you'd be better off waiting a week or two to contact them or go out on a date. Until your head is clearer, you'll just have too much trouble keeping your wits about you.

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.

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.

If you go through major setbacks in your love life during this ten-month transit, take it as a sign that it's time to reassess your approach to relationships. This could be an emotionally difficult period, but also an important one, as it offers you a chance to make big changes for the better that will have long-lasting effects. On the difficult side, though, you could feel as if every time you think you're getting somewhere with a new potential sweetie, something happens -- some setback that causes the budding relationship to wither. Maybe it's you, maybe it's them; either way, you're not getting where you want to go with all the cute and special people out there. So what's going wrong? For one thing, if you're not completely honest with that special someone, they're going to find out -- and they're not going to like it. So fess up, even about the things you're less than proud of, like that recent job layoff or those pesky insecurities about relationships. Remember that if a flirtation ends at this time, it's really for the best, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. Do what you can to make the right changes within yourself, and beyond that, accept the flow.

If you go out with someone new this week and have a bad time, take note. This person is reflecting your own subconscious mind back to you, so if the experience is unpleasant, it means there are some issues beneath your surface that need to be dealt with. And the good news is, if you can force yourself to face them, you've got a good chance of making real headway toward resolving them. Are you unsure of yourself or your opinions? Then your date will challenge you to stand up for yourself and your beliefs. Do you fret about your sexiness or physical appeal? Then they'll make you feel unattractive. Don't know whether you want to get involved with them? Then they could get serious, and possessive, fast. While this could ultimately be a positive experience, if you're ready to do some hard work to face down your personal demons and deal with them, it's not going to be much fun. If the idea of a lot of soul-searching and emotional angst turns you off, then you might be better off just taking a week or two away from romance. Writing in a journal could be a good way to connect with yourself and start dealing with your issues in a healthy way.
Uranus opposite NeptuneFrom Mar 18 to Apr 18
The world that you normally experience as reality -- which is really a construct, one that has been made up by you, your parents and teachers and the other influential people in your life, plus all of your particular experiences -- will be called into question during this time, and depending on certain factors, you could be drawn as a result to someone who is emotionally unstable and generally irrational. This period will especially affect you if you don't have much of a sense of your own spirituality. Everyone has a spiritual soul, after all, but not all of us discover it, at least not until later in life. If you're a late bloomer in that regard, you could meet someone during this period who really turns you on to the more mystical side of life. They'll seem incredibly tuned in to a kind of spiritual awareness that you'll very much want to tap into yourself. But since this is someone else's spiritual reality and not really your own, you could really be led astray, buying into all kinds of ideas and spiritual practices that not only aren't you, they won't work for you and your life. A spiritual awakening is possible, but make sure it's on your own terms.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You might feel like you can do no wrong during this four-month transit, because the energy influencing you at this time fills you with confidence and makes you assertive in the extreme. You're full of yourself, your own power and attractiveness, and you'll probably want to reach out to that cute person who's caught your eye and let them know who you are. There's nothing wrong with that, of course; the problem is, you might come on way too strong and end up alienating them -- even if under other, more normal circumstances, they would have really gone for you. Even if they're attracted to your newfound confidence and want to know more about you, you could end up going overboard if you go out with them -- eating or drinking too much, or even spraining an ankle if you get overconfident in your ability to make that dunk shot or execute that perfect salsa move! Having to be carted home would just be embarrassing, so try to tone it down if you possibly can. This transit lasts several months, so you shouldn't stay away from dating altogether, but do try to be cautious and temperate about how you approach people.

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.

Your judgment might be out of balance during this transit, and paired with your tendency toward overconfidence and impulsive, risky behaviors... Well, you can see what that might spell out in terms of romance. You could jump in headfirst with someone that you don't really know, thinking yourself in love, head over heels with this new, exciting person -- onto whom you're projecting all sorts of things! That's right; you're not in any kind of mental shape to make accurate assessments during these three weeks. Instead, you'll see what you want to see. You could be impulsive and pushy at this time, and you might end up pushing someone away that could have become very special to you if you'd dealt with them in a calmer, more reserved way. Not everyone wants to jump headlong into a love affair, after all; not even you, most times. It's just the heady energy of this transit, seeping into your brain and impelling you do and say things you normally wouldn't. Try to take it easy now, because you might do things you'll regret later. The best of relationships take planning and building of a foundation, and that's what you should be focused on -- not seeking an emotional thrill ride.

Though you're not feeling at your best during this period, making contact with that special someone could still work out, because they might actually see your wonderful qualities better than you can. However, with this transit, trouble could occur if you push yourself out into the dating world. You'll hold other people to the same overly high standards by which you're judging yourself, which isn't fair. Why not spend this time working on developing yourself? If you're feeling like there's no one out there that's good enough for you, it's just that you're not in the right frame of mind to give and receive love and affection. If you feel like you don't have a lot to offer a potential lover, it's an indicator that you need a little boost in your self-image. You might be better off taking a week or two away from dating and looking for The One, and spending a little time with number one -- you. Go see a movie that makes you laugh and cry; you'll feel uplifted, as if your soul has expanded by a few degrees. Anything you do that puts you in touch with your own sense of hope and optimism is a good thing at this time.
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!
