Romantic Forecast

Mars trine Mercury

Fun, lively conversations

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 2

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.

Step it up

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 3

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.

Neptune trine Uranus

Love in unusual places

From Oct 3 to Oct 31

Keep your eye out for love in unusual places during this two-year transit. You're very interested in humanitarian efforts now, and could meet someone special while volunteering at a homeless shelter or helping to build houses for people in need. These will be the kind of concerns that dominate your mind during this period, as well as larger questions of life, the universe and a greater spirituality. You'll be drawn to anyone who seems to be on the same path as you, and the perfect date during this time could involve staying up late, talking about everything that comes into your heads and brainstorming ideas for making the world a better place to live in. Anyone you fall for at this time will be someone who increases your sense of hope for the world, your determination to do something meaningful in your life. Your best partner in love will also be a partner in life -- someone whose larger, deeper, more spiritual interests coincide with yours. That makes this transit an optimal time for finding true love, especially if other concurrent transits focus on romance and commitment. A meaningful connection is waiting for you.

Sun trine Mars

Movin' and shakin'

From Oct 3 to Oct 9 | Exact: Oct 8, 2023

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.

Mercury sextile Jupiter

Comfortable in your skin

From Oct 4 to Oct 5 | Exact: Oct 5, 2023

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.

Jupiter trine Saturn

Making a new plan

From Oct 4 to Oct 31 | Exact: Oct 21, 2023

If you end up spending a lot of time alone during this transit, don't be surprised, or discouraged. It's not that you'll be dropping out of the dating game, and it shouldn't even be a lonely period. Instead, this transit is all about growth on an important personal level. You have a practical outlook now; you can make plans about your dating life and your search for love, or you can focus your energies more toward other areas of your life, such as work or your responsibilities to your family. How you use this time is up to you. Unless there are other transits concurrent with this one that spark up your amorous energy and make you feel romantic, you may be more focused on duties and hard work, because this particular transit doesn't really put you in a frame of mind for love or flirtation. Instead, it makes you think about advancing yourself or your life. If you feel you've been going about the dating game in the wrong way -- being attracted to the wrong people, maybe, or spending too much time flirting and not enough time really getting to know people -- this would be a great time to reassess your game plan and make plans for future success.

Sun trine Mercury

Talkative and connected

From Oct 7 to Oct 13 | Exact: Oct 12, 2023

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.

Sun sextile Neptune

An artistic soul

From Oct 9 to Oct 13 | Exact: Oct 13, 2023

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 Mars

Tactful but fearless

From Oct 10 to Oct 13 | Exact: Oct 13, 2023

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.

Sun trine Sun

Potential for something special

From Oct 11 to Oct 17 | Exact: Oct 12, 2023

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

Venus trine Venus

Instant infatuation

From Oct 11 to Oct 17 | Exact: Oct 13, 2023

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!

Mercury sextile Neptune

You, the love guru

From Oct 14 to Oct 16 | Exact: Oct 16, 2023

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.

Mercury trine Mercury

Variety is the spice of life

From Oct 14 to Oct 17 | Exact: Oct 15, 2023

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 Sun

The right direction

From Oct 15 to Oct 18

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.

Mars sextile Venus

Making a physical connection

From Oct 16 to Oct 22 | Exact: Oct 17, 2023

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

Mercury sextile Venus

Articulate your feelings

From Oct 22 to Oct 24 | Exact: Oct 24, 2023

You're in such a harmonious personal space during this transit that you should definitely share the energy with someone special. If someone has caught your eye, reach out to them and trust that your advances will be well-received. After all, you're feeling warm, generous, social and centered. 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.

Sun sextile Venus

Make it happen

From Oct 23 to Oct 27 | Exact: Oct 27, 2023

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.

Mars sextile Saturn

Laying the groundwork

From Oct 24 to Oct 30 | Exact: Oct 29, 2023

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.

Mercury sextile Saturn

The heart of the matter

From Oct 27 to Oct 29 | Exact: Oct 29, 2023

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.

Venus sextile Uranus

Time to play around

From Oct 27 to Oct 30 | Exact: Oct 30, 2023

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 conjunct Pluto

Plumbing their hidden depths

From Oct 6 to Oct 13 | Exact: Oct 12, 2023

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 Pluto

What makes them tick

From Oct 12 to Oct 16 | Exact: Oct 15, 2023

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 Saturn

A lack of hope and confidence

From Oct 16 to Oct 23 | Exact: Oct 21, 2023

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 Uranus

A method to your madness

From Oct 31 to Oct 31

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.

Asking the tough questions

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 31

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

An annoying habit

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 31

Let's hope you don't go out with anyone who's intellectually conservative during this long transit, because you'll react against anything and anyone that seems limited. You'll have no problem provoking arguments with people you don't even know, because you'll think your perspective is so much farther-reaching than theirs is. But so what? That's no reason to challenge and intimidate someone -- especially someone with whom you're trying to make a romantic connection. There's nothing romantic about speaking sharply to each other! Unless you get off on fighting and then kissing and making up... Which, during this transit, you just might. In any case, you'll jump to conclusions much too easily. You won't even wait for your date to finish their thought before you jump all over them -- only to find that you misunderstood what they were saying because you didn't listen. That kind of hot-blooded, over-hasty response will mark this entire transit; too bad it's such a long one. You could find it hard to make a lasting connection with anyone, as your feelings toward them will change lightning-fast and you'll annoy them with your acerbic conversational skills.

Uranus square Sun

Roll with the punches

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 31

During this one-year transit, you're less in the mood to compromise, which could make your dating life hard, to say the least. You just want what you want when you want it, whether that's independence (which is likely) or intimacy (less so). You might burn through several different romantic liaisons during this period, because your feelings will be erratic. One minute you'll think that certain someone is very special indeed, only to do a complete one-eighty the next minute and push them away. Anything that limits your freedom during this period will feel like too much to handle, so a committed relationship is pretty much out. Even if you do meet and fall in love with someone and end up committing yourself to them, you'll still struggle within the confines of the relationship. You might have a hard time sticking to your commitment or you'll just start arguments as a way to clear the air of the tension you'll feel almost constantly. Don't expect your plans to go through seamlessly. Even if you feel totally dedicated to that special someone, whatever plans you make will probably be subject to change by outside forces beyond your control. it's up to you to roll with the punches.

Just a little too confident

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 14

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.

Clearing the air

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 2

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.

Feeling lazy

Before 10/01/2023 to Oct 2

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.

Tense and nervous

From Oct 4 to Oct 7 | Exact: Oct 6, 2023

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.

Seeing what you want to see

From Oct 7 to Oct 17 | Exact: Oct 14, 2023

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.

Bragging and boasting

From Oct 20 to Oct 23 | Exact: Oct 23, 2023

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!

A little too self-confident

From Oct 20 to Oct 26 | Exact: Oct 25, 2023

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.

Fantasizing about the Perfect Love

From Oct 25 to Oct 31 | Exact: Oct 29, 2023

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.

Mercury square Mars

Picking fights

From Oct 28 to Oct 31 | Exact: Oct 31, 2023

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.

Doing inappropriate things

From Oct 31 to Oct 31

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.

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!
