Uranus transits your Natal Venus

These transits serve to radically transform the way you relate to others. The focus of your attention is your individuality and independence during this time.

You are likely to meet someone who radically transforms your long-held beliefs about love and relationships.

Relationships at this time are likely to be exciting, refreshing, though unstable, unpredictable, and short-lived. Your habitual patterns of behavior are discarded, and you become much less tolerant of restrictions on your self-expression and individuality.

When Transiting Uranus aspects your natal Venus…

…you crave excitement in your relationships. Uranus often brings us non-traditional relationships/partners (i.e. partners from a different culture, background, etc.), which usually begin (and end) very suddenly.

Timing Uranus transits is very simple, as events tend to occur at the time Uranus makes an exact aspect to your Venus (by exact, I mean the aspect is within 11 minutes of exact).

Uranus-Venus relationships are characterized as sudden, impermanent, non-traditional, and exciting. What usually happens is a sudden encounter with the “person of your dreams”, and the native often experiences “love at first sight”.

The energy between the two is electric and exciting, but not stable, and the relationship often lacks any real commitment. Uranus transits serve to jolt us awake through events that force us to throw out any previous behaviors or habits we tend to cling to. This is especially true for emotionally clingy, needy people, or people who are inherently stable and afraid of change.

Uranus relationships are difficult to control, and manipulative tactics are completely useless in getting what we want out of the relationship. The native must learn to “let go” of expectations and control, or he or she will suffer greatly from this transit.

Because Uranus is characterized by impermanence and excitement, many find that relationships begun under this influence often end when the initial spark fizzles and one of the partners gets bored and feels the need to move on.

Sometimes, when the transit is over, the native may say, “what was I thinking, being in that relationship?” due to the fact that partners are generally chosen for the fact that they are “different” and “exciting”, rather than suitable, which becomes more and more apparent as Uranus moves away from their natal Venus.

This period can also be marked by increased promiscuity on the part of the native. Uranus on one’s Venus increases one’s magnetism, so the likelihood of meeting several partners increases.

A good friend of mine characterised her Uranus opposite Venus transits as: “Lots of one-night stands, and lots of partying.”  This is especially true with the conjunction, square and opposition. Sextiles and trines are generally more stable influences, but have that Uranian spark to them nonetheless.

The partners you find under this transit are generally Aquarius or Uranian, or the syanstry or composite charts have strong Aquarian/Uranian influences.

In my personal experience with these transits, they can definitely bring love to your life. I met both of my long-term boyfriend when transiting Uranus was sextile my natal Venus. He was an Aquarius (no surprise there). The relationship did not work out in the long run due to external barriers in our relationship.

When transiting Uranus was square my natal Venus, I developed a crush on my boss, who was not my regular type at all. I knew I would never actually date him, but I felt such a strong attraction to him and could not control it. Looking back, I’m still shocked I ever had a ‘crush’ on him at all.

I also had some other short-term relationships during the Uranus square Venus transit, including someone who lived in another city. This man was much older than me, but I found our differences interesting. In the end, I left him. Similar to the situation with my boss, there was no way I’d ever be in a serious relationship with him. I was very non-committal at the time.

Check which house Venus rules in your chart in order to get a better idea of how the transit will manifest.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 1st house, changes to your physical appearance and the way you project yourself to the world are likely to occur. This is usually a time of increased popularity. Your personal magnetism is at all all-time high, so take advantage of it!

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 2nd house, changes to your financial system and values are likely to occur. Your finances may be erratic and unpredictable during this time. You may become more carefree in regards to finances at the moment.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 3rd house, changes to your communication style, or relationships with your siblings, neighbors, or relatives may occur. A sudden interest in poetry or writing may manifest at this time.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 4th house, changes to your living situation or family are likely to occur. You may dramatically re-decorate your home during this cycle.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 5th house, sudden changes to your love life are likely to occur. Relationships are fresh, new, and exciting, but tend to be unpredictable and erratic.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 6th house, sudden changes in your work environment are likely to occur. Perhaps your work schedule will become unpredictable or erratic. This transit can also indicate sudden changes to your health.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 7th house, changes involving your one-on-one relationships are likely to occur. Particularly in the case of the conjunction, square, or opposition, a relationship may suddenly exit and/or enter your life.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 8th house, changes to your shared resources may occur. Sudden windfalls are likely. You may also become more attracted to sexual taboos. A sudden death of someone close to you may occur.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 9th house, you may suddenly decide to go back to school. Alternatively, you may suddenly decide to embark on a long-term trip to an exotic place. Your religious belief system is likely to undergo a radical change, as well.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 10th house, changes to your career or social status are likely to undergo changes. This is a time of increased public popularity and recognition.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 11th house, changes to your circle of friends may occur. Long-term friendships may suddenly end, or you may become friends with an unusual bunch of people. This is a time of increased social popularity.

If Venus rules, or is situated in your 12th house, you may become involved in a secret relationship.

Sexually, you are affectionate and passionate. Devotion and attention get you off in bed. You want to be the best your lover has ever had, and might even fib about your sexual conquests in order to impress partners. You are very sexual, but also require love and romance.

You like to figure out your partner’s likes and dislikes to ensure his or her satisfaction. You might be turned on by physical imperfections.

Mars in Libra: 

Mars in Libras get off by getting YOU off. You love pleasing your partners, and take special care that this happens. It is equally important that your partner pleasures you in return, as Mars in Libra individuals seek balance when it comes to sex.

As an Air sign, you are “turned on” by intellectual stimulation and role-play. Sometimes the idea of sex can be more alluring than the actual physical act. Mars in Libra are fond of voyeurism and other non-physical forms of sex.

This is a very strong sexual placement. You put a lot of energy into sex, and the opposite sex finds you very attractive.

You are fascinated by taboos and love to explore the depths of sexuality with your make. You are jealous and possessive, yet loyal and trustworthy to your partners. You like the idea of your partner submitting completely and entirely to you.

Your sexual style is straight-forward and simple. You might be drawn to older, experienced partners.

In bed, you might like taking a submissive role. You are a sexual and sensual person, but you hide it behind a conservative, rigid demeanor. You might restrain your sexuality until later in life.

Mars in Aquarius: 

Sexually, Mars in Aquarius needs intellectual stimulation to get “turned on”. In fact, the “idea” of sex is very alluring to you.

Aquarius is a futuristic sign, so cyber sex is especially appealing to you. You love experimenting with different sexual positions and toys in sex, in keeping with your love for the new and unusual.

Mars in Pisces: 

You are a very romantic lover, and tend to idealize your mate. In bed, you are eager to please, and your partners may take advantage of this by always “taking” but never “giving”.

To you, sex should transcendent the physical and emotional to a spiritual realm, so your idea of “perfect sex” can be difficult to achieve when your partner isn’t on the same level.

The Synastry of Physical Attraction

In this article, I outline the types of synastry aspects that point to physical attraction.

✨ Predict When Love Will Enter Your Life! ✨ Order my new eBook Predict Love with Astrology

Planets in another person’s first house/Planets conjunct the Ascendant:

The Ascendant and first house represent our physical appearance and the way we project ourselves to the world.

When you have planets in your partner’s first house, or vice-versa, a strong physical attraction is indicated.

If someone has their Sun in your first house, they admire you a lot. You stand out to them, and they see a lot of themselves in your personality. They find you charismatic and engaging.

A woman’s Sun and Mars are considered action-oriented planets, so having either of these planets in a partner’s first house indicates considerable attraction on her part.

A man’s Moon and Venus (feminine planets) indicate the qualities he looks for in a woman, so having either of these planets in his partner’s first house is indicative of physical attraction.

Planets in the 7th house/Conjunct the Descendant: 

The 7th house and Descendant represent our one-on-one relationships, and describes the qualities of our ideal mate. Thus, having planets in someone’s 7th house in synastry is indicative of mutual attraction.

The planet person represents the qualities we lack, the qualities that will serve to “balance” us out. The house person is likely to find the planet person as someone who is “marriage material,” while the Planet person is likely to find the Ascendant person highly attractive.

The strongest indicator of physical attraction is when someone’s inner planets fall in the 7th house (especially the Sun).

Planetary overlays in the 5th house: 

The 5th house represents fun and romance. So, if your planets are overlaid onto your partner’s 5th house, a romantic and sexual attraction is indicated.

You love spending time with one another, and the planet person stimulates the house person’s desire for love, sex, and romance. This is especially true if the planet is Venus or Mars; you literally want to jump the person!

Planets in 8th house: 

The 8th house represents sex and intimacy. This is thus a very powerful synastry overlay to have between partners.

In this case, the planet person stimulates the 8th house person’s desire for intimacy. The 8th house person wants to “merge” with the planet person and explore the depths of her sensuality. Hot, hot, hot!

This is especially true if your partner’s Venus or Mars (sexual planets) fall in your 8th house. It’s practically irresistible.

The 8th house person may even become obsessed, so watch out! This is definitely not a synastry aspect for the faint-hearted.

Sun-Venus synastry aspects: 

Venus is the planet of beauty and pleasure, while the Sun represents our core being. Thus, synastry aspects involving the Sun and Venus are indicative of a strong physical attraction, especially on the part of the Venus person.

The Sun person represents what the Venus person finds beautiful and pleasing, and the Sun person gets a huge ego boost from this!

The Venus person adores the Sun person, and the Sun person loves the Venus person’s style and grace.

This is a highly romantic aspect, and is one of the best indicator of a lasting romance.

Sun-Mars synastry Aspects:

Both the Sun and Mars are ‘masculine signs’. When they make an aspect in synastry, sexual compatibility is indicated.

Your body rhythms match well, and you naturally know how to please one another. Mars is especially sexually attracted to the Sun person, and the Sun person’s sexual desires are stimulated by the Mars person. This aspect represents considerable attraction to each other’s bodies.

This is especially true for the conjunction, trine, and sextile. The opposition and square can lead to conflict and ego clashes, but attraction is still indicated.

Venus-Pluto Synastry Aspects: 

This is one of the hottest sexual synastry aspects two people can have!

Pluto represents sex, obsession, and intimacy, while Venus represents love, beauty, and affection. Together, this spells g-r-e-a-t s-e-x!

You stimulate each other’s desire to experience the depths of sexual intimacy. Physical intimacy is especially important with this interaspect; you feel a strong desire to be physically close to each other. In fact, you may find you become obsessed with one another!

This aspect also indicates power struggles and domination, especially on the part of the Pluto person. The Pluto person feels a strong desire to “merge” with the Venus person.

Pluto finds Venus beautiful and intriguing. Venus is strongly sexually attracted to Pluto, as Pluto puts her in touch with her primal, sexual feelings.

This is especially true of the conjunction.

The trine and sextile indicate intense, but pleasing and harmonious sexual interactions. These aspects deepen the intimacy shared by the couple, but not in an overly obsessive or destructive way.

In the case of the square and opposition, strong sexual energies are also indicated, but this may be accompanied by an unhealthy desire to control one another through manipulation, jealousy, and possessiveness. The square and opposition can also indicate sexual and financial exploitation, as well as abuse.

Nevertheless, Venus-Pluto in synastry is just plain hot.

 

Moon-Mars Synastry Aspects: 

In synastry, this is a sign of true sexual compatibility. The attraction is instinctive in nature.

Like Venus-Mars interaspects, Moon-Mars interaspects represent the yin/yang or male/female energies between couples.

The Mars person can instinctively sense the needs of the Moon person, and strives to fulfill them.

The Mars person is attracted to the Moon at a very basic level; he finds her basic femininity very sexually appealing. The Moon person is “turned on” by the Mars person’s advances.

The attraction is very primal in nature. Together, they fuse emotionalism and feelings into sex, which can be highly satisfying for both parties.

I believe all Moon-Mars contacts, whether hard or soft, brings this energy into the partnership.

However, the hard aspects can manifest outside the bedroom as emotional arguments and hurt feelings, while the softer aspects indicate supportive energies between the two.

Venus-Mars Synastry Aspects: 

This is especially potent when the woman’s Venus is being aspected by the man’s Venus.

Even better is when you have a “double-whammy”; when your Venus aspects your partner’s Mars, and when your partner’s Mars aspects your Venus.

Venus is the planet of love, affection, and romance, while Mars is the planet of raw sexual energy. Together, they make fireworks!

The Mars person feels adored and loved by the Venus person, and finds them beautiful. The Venus person is energized and sexually stimulated by the Mars person.

When this interaspect shows up in synastry, true sexual compatibility is indicated. This is especially potent when the woman’s Venus is being aspected by the man’s Mars.

Ascendant/Ascendant Aspects in Synastry:

I really don’t think this synastry connection gets enough attention! The Ascendant represents our physical appearance, and the way we project ourselves to the world.

Thus, aspects (even hard ones) between two people’s Ascendants indicate considerable attraction.

This is especially potent if your Ascendant opposes your partner’s Ascendant (or your Ascendant is conjunct your partner’s Descendant). In this case, your partner is likely to consider you to be the “perfect partner,” in terms of your physical appearance.

As a Sagittarius Ascendant, I attract Gemini Ascendant men like crazy!

Eros Synastry Aspects: 

The asteroid, Eros, represents erotic love, sex, passion and intimacy. I have found that when someone’s personal planets make strong aspects to someone else’s natal Eros, a strong sexual bond and attraction is indicated.

I’ve found that the Eros person has a “crush” on the planet person. This is an indicator of great sex, too!

 

Aspects to Lilith in Synastry: 

In synastry, Lilith brings an untamed, wild sexual energy, feelings of obsession, and intense, transformative interactions.

When your Lilith aspects your someone’s planet (especially the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, or the Ascendant), you are magnetically attracted to this person, and can’t get them out of your mind.

This aspect shows an amazing amount of sexual chemistry and an obsessive attraction.

Like Pluto, Lilith aspects in synastry act to draw out each person’s sexuality.

Lilith sex is tantric, obsessive, and highly addictive. Couples with strong Lilith in synastry have an incredibly strong sexual attraction to one another, and it is difficult to keep them apart!

Logic does not apply in Lilith relationships.

On the plus side, she can break someone free of their safe, habitual behavior and set them free.

Aries, Mars & the “Hunter”

Having problems with your Aries man? Want to know if he’s in love with you? Let me help you! E-mail me at astroladyconsultations@gmail.com!

Ever dated a “hunter”? No, not the mean guy who kills Bambi, but the courageous, active, direct guy with a love of passion and adventure? The impulsive guy who loves a good chase? There are several aspects which indicate a guy is a “hunter”. Let’s take a look at a few…

This article relates specifically to men with Sun, Moon, Venus or Ascendant in Aries.

Aries is the natural ruler of the 1st house of the “Self”, and Aries is ruled by Mars.

Aries men are impulsive, childish, self-absorbed and direct. He is competitive; he won’t let you win “just ‘cause you’re a girl.” He tends to put his own needs ahead of everyone else’s. He’s confident and self-assured; he knows he’s sexy, and won’t hesitate to let you know this! In love, his favorite part is the chase. He likes to keep things exciting and passionate, and is addicted to the conquest. This can make “settling down” difficult for Aries guys; when a relationship becomes too “settled”, he might get bored and start chasing someone else. As the sign of the Child, Arians can be quite immature and self-absorbed. They are also impatient; when they want something, they want it NOW! They are not afraid or confrontation. In fact, a good conflict really gets their juices flowing! He has no problem telling you if he hates your dress, or if your hair looks messy; he is frank, direct, and even tactless.

Above all, Aries men like a challenge, and this is what you’ll have to present him if you want him to be yours. Aries men like a woman who will make him work for her attention. Girls he can seduce easily bore him, so play hard to get! Never let him think he fully “has” you, and he’ll be yours forever.

Aries men like a woman who is full of confidence, intelligence, and adventure. Sexy clothes turn him on; he’ll love to show you off if you’re dressed to impress. Be playful and fun- Aries men love that. Stay honest and direct with him; sugarcoating and indirectness will just annoy him. Praise and compliment him, as Aries men need to feel adored. This guy loves competition, so challenge him to a basketball shoot-out, a chess game, and intellectual debate- anything that involves competitiveness.

In no circumstance should you ever insult is self-confidence or masculinity- this is sure to send the Aries man into a fit of rage!

The Ass-trology of Big Butts

 

 

What natal astrological placements and aspects are indicative of a large butt?

 

Strong Venusian influences

 

Planets in Libra

 

Libra is commonly associated with the buttocks. As a result, you may find that people with their Ascendant, Sun, Moon, or Venus (Libra’s ruler) in Libra have large, rounded butts. For example, Beyonce Knowles has Venus in Libra conjunct Jupiter (expansion) and Pluto. Kim Kardashian has her Sun in Libra. Serena Williams has Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto in Libra.

 

Venus in the 1st House:

 

This aspect brings a Libran influence into the first house, which represents the physical body. As such, you’ll often find people with Venus in the first house have larger derrieres. This also applies to men! Nicki Minaj, Pippa Middleton, and Anna Nicole Smith have Venus in the first house.

 

Taurus Ascendant or Planets

 

Taurus is a feminine sign, ruled by Venus. As such, individuals with inner planets and points in Taurus are naturally voluptuous. Serena Williams and HalleBerry both have their Ascendant in Taurus.  Jessica Alba has a stellium of inner planets in Taurus.

 

 

Moon in Water Signs

 

The natal placement of a woman’s Moon has a significant impact on her physical appearance. Women with their Moon in a Water sign are generally voluptuous and feminine.

 

Moon in Scorpio:

 

Scorpio rules the reproductive organs and the anus. Scorpio is a water sign, and women with Scorpio placements, especially the Moon (feminine planet) are usually quite voluptuous. Women who are most famous for their large rear ends have their Moons in Scorpio. These celebrities include Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce Knowles, Coco (Ice-T’s wife), and Scarlett Johansson.

 

Moon in Pisces:

 

Women with their Moons in Pisces are usually quite feminine and bottom-heavy. Celebrities with Moon in Pisces include Kim Karashian, Michelle Obama, and Jennifer Hudson, all of whom have nice, rounded backsides.

 

Moon in Cancer:

 

These women are also known for having great boobs, since Cancer rules the breasts. Cancer is an ultra-feminine planet, and represents the “mother”. Women with Moon in Cancer can be quite voluptuous. For example, Shakira has her Moon in Cancer in the 4th house! Penelope Cruz has her Moon and Ascendant in Cancer.

 

Planets or Ascendant in Sagittarius

 

Sagittarius is commonly associated with the hips, thighs, and buttocks. As such, individuals with major planets or points in Sagittarius may have large butts. For example, Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica Biel are Sagittarius Ascendants.

The Astrology of Barack Obama

Barack Obama has his Ascendant in Aquarius. Indeed, he is often described as “too cool”, and lacking in emotion. Aquarius Ascendants are emotionally detached, intellectual, friendly, and skilled at the art of debate. They have the ability to be both friendly and aloof. The fact that he can remain objective and doesn’t let his emotions get the best of him helps him tremendously when it comes to debating.

Obama has his natal Uranus (in Leo), and Mars and Pluto (in Virgo) in his 7th house or partnerships and open enemies. The people he attracts are usually independent and intellectual (Uranus), intense/controlling/transformational (Pluto), and/or aggressive (Mars). While his relationships are intense and passionate, they are also unique and allow for both partners to retain their sense of independence. In addition, Uranus rules his chart (since his Ascendant is in Aquarius), so having this planet in his 7th reinforces the fact that he is partnership oriented and might define himself through his relationships. Also, Uranus in this house would suggest a love for all of humanity and treating others as equals, regardless of social status, race, looks, etc..

Obama’s Sun and Mercury are in his 6th house, in the sign, Leo. Solar Lions are known for their charisma and natural ability to lead. They are inspiring people, and seek to improve the world around them. With Mercury in this sign as well, Obama speaks with authority, and his words attract attention. Mercury in Leo individuals are great motivational speakers. Obama is direct and straight to the point, while at the same time charming and intriguing. With his Sun and Mercury in the 6th house, Obama is a workaholic. He has a strong need to be productive, and is “service” oriented. He is a dependable, helpful person with a strong work-ethic. With Mercury and the Sun in this house, he might have nervous tension and anxiety- no wonder he smoked!

Obama’s Venus is in Cancer in his fifth, which indicates a love of fun, romance, and game-playing. Indeed, during his presidency, he was known to have taken in quite a few basketball games and made several trips to the golf course! This placement also indicates having beautiful daughters, of which he has two!

Obama’s Moon is conjunct his IC in the 4th house. He has strong ties to his family and his roots, and needs a secure home to come home to after a long day. His relationship with his mother is especially important to him. Obama’s Moon is in Gemini. Lunar Geminians are quick-witted and emotionally detached. These people are fact collectors, and are curious about the world around them. They have the uncanny ability of being able to tell what other people want to hear. This placement suggests he is an excellent debater, as he is mentally alert and quick-witted.

Obama’s Jupiter and Saturn conjunction are located in his 12th house. Having Jupiter in the 12th indicates Obama needs his alone time, and may keep his religious and spiritual views as private as possible. He has great faith in the future. This position also suggests the native has a “guardian angel”, watching over him and helping him through difficult periods. He loves humanity, and desires to help the unfortunate. Saturn in this house often indicates an absent father (his father was not a part of Obama’s life). It also indicates a need to serve the less fortunate.

These two planets in the 12th oppose Obama’s Mercury in the 6th house, which reinforces his need to feel helpful and be of service to others. The conflict here lies between the need to help others in contrast to the need for solitude. However, Obama’s planets are heavily concentrated in the right side of his chart, which indicates that his relationships with others are more important to him than his own needs.

Jupiter opposing his Mercury suggests he may be prone to exaggeration, while Saturn opposing his Mercury would indicate self-censoring when it comes to verbal expression. Jupiter and Saturn are opposite in many ways. While the Mercury-Saturn aspect indicates he chooses his words carefully and is careful about what he reveals to others, the Mercury-Jupiter opposition indicates he can be reckless in jumping to conclusions. This aspect can produce a see-saw effect between logical thinking and overly idealistic though processes. I see both in Obama; he is not always quick to answer, and he often “uhs” and “ahs” between words. At the same time, he is very idealistic and makes big plans and big promises.

If these two aspects weren’t enough, Neptune also squares his natal Mercury! His Neptune is located in his 9th house, which suggests an inclination towards travel, religion and higher education. He is very intuitive, as well as philosophical and prophetic. With the square to Mercury, Obama might find it hard to take a hard stance on anything. This aspect also indicates someone whose communication may have many pauses or digressions. This aspect tends to cloud logical thinking in favor of imagination and creativity. I suppose this is why he often uses a teleprompter! Nevertheless, this aspect indicates someone who is a great story-teller with a flair for drama. He has the ability to “read” people, without them having to say a thing.

In addition to squaring his Mercury, Obama’s 9th house Neptune also squares his natal Sun. This would add to Obama’s idealistic stance in government. He easily trusts people, and is sensitive to the suffering of others, which makes him susceptible to being taken advantage of. This aspect often denotes a distant or absent father figure, and the native having a glorified view of his father. People with this aspect often engage in self-destructive tendencies, but Obama’s chart has enough positive Saturn aspects to keep him in check.

Finally, Obama’s natal Chiron is located in his first house. You can usually pick out a 1st house Chiron person by observing if they have any scars on their face. There are a few unusual scars on Obama’s head, but I am unsure of their origin. Having Chiron in the 1st house also indicates someone who puts the needs of others ahead of his own. He is wonderful at giving others advice, yet has trouble following the same advice. This reinforces Obama’s desire to fight for the underdog and make the world a better place.

The Natal Chart of Felix Baumgartner

 

 

Felix has Saturn in Aries conjunct his Sun in Taurus. Saturn is in “fall” in Aries, meaning Saturn is not in a favorable position in this sign. Saturn is the planet of caution, while Aries is the planet of action and aggression. As a result, an inner conflict often plagues individuals with his placement. Saturn in Aries individuals supposedly dislike taking risks, and choose their battles carefully. On the other hand, they may overcompensate for this by taking reckless risks!

 

With his Sun in Taurus, Felix is very patient, determined, and stubborn. When he decides to do something, there is almost nothing that can stop him. Combine this with a conjunction to disciplined Saturn, and you have someone who sees his tasks all the way through.

 

Felix’s chart features a Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto conjunction. Jupiter with Uranus indicates the individual is naturally restless, and dislikes any restrictions to his freedom. Individuals with Jupiter conjunct Pluto possess great determination in achieving their goals, and have the desire to live their lives to the fullest! Uranus conjunct Pluto is a “generational” aspect, meaning the people born within a few years of this date all have this aspect. This aspect fosters change and encourages innovative breakthroughs.

 

This conjunction is in quincunx aspect to his Sun/Saturn conjunction. The quincunx from Uranus represents tension, and often manifests as a desire to express oneself in an original way. The quincunx from Pluto indicates he has a strong need to be himself, and enjoy puzzling others with their wacky ideas, but this is simply a mask for their darker sides. The quincunx from Jupiter indicates a tension regarding personal success. People with this aspect are prone to excesses due to their tendency to push hard for success. Neptune also makes a quincunx aspect to his Sun, indicating that Felix has a strong desire for fame and recognition.

 

Felix’s Mars in Sagittarius is in square aspect to his natal Pluto. In Sagittarius, Mars has high levels of physical energy, as well as enthusiasm. This placement indicates someone who feels he is invincible, due to an innate sense of confidence and optimism. With the square from Pluto, he is reckless (duh!) and forceful in action. He has quite a temper, and has a strong need for physical activity. People with this placement are naturally energetic, and require a suitable channel for directing their inner aggression.

 

Felix’s Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct his natal South Node. Uranus is the planet of radical change, while the South Node represents what we’re comfortable with. Add in Jupiter, and we have someone who is familiar and comfortable with change, pandemonium, and unusual, reckless behavior. So, what does a man who is comfortable with radical change and complete chaos do? He jumps out of a balloon from the stratosphere, of course!

 

Transits on the day of the jump:

 

Not surprisingly, transiting retrograde Jupiter was exactly opposite Baumgartner’s natal Mars in Sagittarius the day of the jump. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so his feelings of optimism, recklessness, and his overall energy were expanded that day.

 

Transiting Saturn was opposite his natal Sun/Saturn conjunction. This transit indicates a period of culmination, leading to an increase in status or responsibility. Hard-work is acknowledged at this time, though not without an incredible amount of pressure and fear.

One thing that stuck out to me in their synastry chart is their exact Ascendant-Ascendant conjunction in Cancer. While their MC/IC axis is not exactly conjunct, they are close to one another. In addition, their Vertexes are exactly conjunct.

 

When your partner’s Ascendant is exactly conjunct your Ascendant, a high degree of compatibility is indicated. The two of you approach the world and your relationships in a similar way. Kristen and Robert “stand out” to one another because of this aspect. They present themselves in a similar fashion, making it easier to “find” one another. They probably clicked immediately; they see a lot of themselves in each other.

 

In addition, since Kristen’s MC/IC axis is in the same sign as Robert’s MC/IC axis, they have a similar approach to home life and career, as well. They certainly feel “at home” with one another, and have similar career goals. Finally, Vertex conjunct Vertex in synastry indicates a fated bond.

 

Robert’s Moon in Cancer is conjunct Kristen’s Ascendant. This is a prime indicator of a sginficant attraction, which could possibly lead to marriage. In a man’s chart, his Venus and Moon signs signify the type of woman he is most attracted to. In Kristen, he sees his “ideal woman.” He feels comfortable expressing his feelings to her because he feels she understands him very well. Kristen feels nurtured and supported by Robert.

In fact, the two of them may feel emotionally dependent on one another. The fact that the two of them have strong Cancer in each of their charts makes this synastry aspect even more significant; they are both emotional people, and their strong Moon aspects in synastry ensures the emotional compatibility they both need.

 

 

However, Robert’s Moon squares Kristen’s Sun in Aries. Robert is highly emotional, sensitive, and somewhat passive when it comes to emotions. This clashes with Kristen’s core nature; Kristen is direct, aggressive, and confrontational. Robert may sometimes feel that Kristen is insensitive to his needs, while Kristen may find Robert overly-touchy and sensitive.

 

Robert’s Moon also squares Kristen’s Moon in Libra. While the both of them are sensitive to each other’s needs, and seek harmony in their personal lives, the two of them may feel their needs are not quite met by the other. Cancer needs security, reassurance, and a close emotional bond, while Libra seeks romance, intellectual exchanges, and balance. Kristen may feel somewhat smothered by Robert at times, and Robert may feel Kristen is somewhat superficial.

 

Robert and Kristen’s synastry chart features a Mars square Sun double-whammy! The two of them are highly attracted to one another. However, since the Sun and Mars are both masculine planets, they may engage in many ego-clashes throughout their relationship. Robert’s Mars is conjunct Kristen’s Descendant, which indicates a significant sexual attraction, but also tends to increase conflict between the couple. This is magnified by the fact that Robert’s Mars is also square Kristen’s Moon. This indicates the two of them share a highly sexual, emotional bond, which may be fraught with heavy arguments.

 

However, Robert’s Moon, Mars, and Ascendant are conjunct Kristen’s Sun/Moon midpoint. Having planets conjunct, square, or opposite your partner’s Sun/Moon midpoint is indicative of a significant attraction. You’ll often find synastry aspects involving the Sun/Moon midpoint in the synastry charts of significant relationships. In this case, the planet person brings the Midpoint person’s feminine and masculine energies together, making them feel complete. The person whose Sun/Moon midpoint is activated is likely to feel more balanced around the planet person. You feel like you belong together, and the attraction is irresistible. The Midpoint person is generally the one who feels more attracted, based on this aspect.

 

With Robert’s Moon conjunct Kristen’s Sun/Moon midpoint, she feels loved and understood by Robert. She feels very comfortable with Robert, and feels her emotional needs are fulfilled. With Robert’s Mars conjunct Kristen’s Sun/Moon midpoint, she is strongly drawn to Robert’s sexual charisma. The sex is highly fulfilling for the both of them. Robert’s Ascendant conjunct Kristen’s Sun/Moon midpoint indicates that she is highly attracted to him, and sees him as her soul mate.

 

Robert’s Venus is sextile Kristen’s Sun. Robert absolutely adores Kristen, and is very focused on pleasing her. Around Robert, Kristen feels loved and appreciated. Sun-Venus aspects are very common in the synastry charts of married couples, as they ensure a feeling of joy and compatibility for the long run.

 

Their synastry chart also features a Moon trine Venus double whammy. This is an excellent sign of romantic compatibility. The two of them feel loved and adored, as well as nurtured, by one another. Just being together brings the both of them a lot of joy. This aspect makes doing even the most boring tasks together greatly enjoyable. This aspects points to mutual consideration for one another.

 

Kristen’s Mars is trine Robert’s Venus. This aspect indicates a high degree of sexual compatibility and passionate love. In this case, Kristen takes on the role of the aggressor or pursuer, and this is likely very attractive to Robert. The two of them are highly attracted to one another. Kristen is entranced by Robert’s grace and charm, while Robert admires Kristen’s assertiveness, sexual charisma, and body.

 

Kristen’s Mercury is conjunct Robert’s Mercury in Taurus. This aspect indicates a high degree of intellectual compatibility. Robert and Kristen process information and communicate in a similar manner, making it easy for them to understand what the other is saying. They have a better-than-average understanding of what the other thinks. They may finish each other’s sentences from time to time.

 

Robert’s Mars is conjunct Kristen’s Saturn in the 7th house. With this aspect, it seems that no matter what the Mars person does, the Saturn person is bothered. Nothing is ever “good enough” for Saturn. The Saturn person usually sees the Mars person as childish and irresponsible.  The Mars person’s energy is the sort that makes the Saturn person very uncomfortable. More specifically, the Mars person’s self-confidence and assertiveness brings out Saturn’s insecurities, and in response, the Saturn person attempts to restrict and limit the Mars person’s actions by telling Mars what to do. Saturn may resort to constantly tearing the Mars person down through criticism and psychological abuse. However, Saturn synastry aspects are highly binding. Even if Robert feels held back or criticized by Kristen, he has an overwhelming feeling of responsibility and commitment to her.

 

His feelings of commitment to Kristen are magnified due to the fact that Kristen’s Saturn is in Robert’s 7th house. This indicates that Robert takes his relationship with Kristen very seriously. She stimulates his desire for a serious partnership, and takes his duties to her very seriously.

 

Kristen’s Neptune is exactly conjunct Robert’s Descendant, indicating a deep soul union between the two of them. Robert likely sees Kristen as the woman of his dream. He is very sensitive to her needs. Robert may gloss over Kristen’s faults in favor of her more favorable, or even “imagined,” traits.

 

Kristen’s Uranus is conjunct Robert’s Descendant, as well. He finds her highly exciting and refreshing, though perhaps a bit erratic and undependable. This aspect indicates a strong, electric attraction, especially on Robert’s part.

 

Robert’s feelings of excitement for Kristen are magnified by the fact that her Uranus is exactly opposite his chart ruler, the Moon, and conjunct his Mars. Robert may find Kristen somewhat erratic and unstable when it comes to the way she feels about Robert. This is likely to put Robert on edge at times, especially since his Moon is in security-seeking Cancer. Nevertheless, he finds her highly magnetic and attractive. Roberts finds Kristen sexually exciting and stimulating, but may find her reckless and impulsive.

 

Kristen’s Neptune is opposite Robert’s Moon. This aspect indicates there is a tendency to misunderstand or confuse each other emotionally. The Moon person may tend to be emotionally dependent on the Neptune person, for the Moon person feels the Neptune person is his or her ideal mate.

The threat of emotional deceit is high when this aspect shows up in synastry. The Moon person may not see the Neptune person clearly; the Moon person may see the Neptune person for the emotionally wonderful, supportive person he thinks the Neptune person is. In order to keep the Moon person’s ideals alive or to gain emotional support or compassion, the Neptune person may “play along” by lying, playing the victim, or pretending to be someone he is not. Even if the Moon person suspects the Neptune person of deceit, they will make excuses for the Neptune person and pretend as though nothing is wrong.

Hard aspects also indicate a great amount of possessiveness and clinginess on the part of the Moon person. Both the Moon and Neptune are highly sensitive planets, which makes this relationship excessively emotional and co-dependent. This is especially damaging if Neptune becomes elusive and distant, as it will greatly upset the Moon person. While this aspect indicates a great amount of compassion and unconditional caring, it can also lead to hurt and disappointment due to lofty ideals of what each person thinks the other person is.

 

Kristen’s Pluto opposes Robert’s Sun. The two of them have a profound, transformative effect on each other. Robert experiences emotions he never even knew you had as a result of this relationship. This is an indicator of a love-hate relationship. This relationship is characterized by power struggles, as the two of them wish to dominate the other. They are compelled to find out every detail about each other’s lives, and this desire often leads to unhealthy obsession and possessiveness. If they two break up, it will be very difficult to remain friends.

 

Robert’s Pluto trines Kristen’s Venus. Wow, what a great aspect! Pluto forces Venus to see something about herself that she wanted to keep hidden. His role is to transform Venus by exploring the depths of intimacy and sharing. The relationship is highly sexual, and the chemistry is addictive. This level of passion is the highest you will have in your life as the two explore and play out each others’ deepest, darkest secrets and fantasies. This aspect can result in sexual exploitation, as well, given Pluto’s dominance over Venus, and Venus’ desire to please Pluto in any way she can.

Finally, Robert’s Saturn squares Kristen’s Venus. All Saturn-Venus synastry are highly binding, but hard aspects often bring difficulties. Kristen may find Robert is cold and unaffectionate at times. Robert is likely to feel insecure because of Kristen, and may deal with this by withdrawing his affection for her. This transit can also indicate that the two of them suffer many separations throughout their relationship.

 

Who has the upper hand?

 

After analyzing their synastry, it is clear to me that Kristen has the upper hand in the relationship. Her outer planets make significant aspects to Robert’s Sun and Moon, which indicate that she has a profound effect on him. Robert’s Moon and Venus (feminine planets) are highly aspected by Kristen’s inner and outer planets, so he may be more emotionally dependent on the relationship than she is.

 

Kristen’s Uranus is highly aspected in her synastry with Robert. She may have difficulty settling down with Robert in a relationship due to the fact that her feelings for him are unpredictable and erratic. She is conflicted between her need for freedom, and her need for a relationship.

 

With Kristen’s Neptune heavily aspecting Robert’s inner planets and points, he is very taken with Kristen. He overlooks her faults, and is very forgiving of her inconsistencies.

 

Kristen’s Pluto in hard aspects to Robert’s planets indicate that he is very drawn to her, and may even feel obsessed with her. His attachment to her is so strong that he feels like a “fish out of water” when the two of them are not together.

 

Their future:

 

Kristen has recently stated that she would like to settle down and have children with Robert, which is unsurprising given the fact that transiting Saturn is trining her natal Venus at this time. This transit indicates a time when you are more willing to commit. In addition, Saturn just entered her 5th house, indicating a time when we are more serious about love and commitment.

 

Transiting Neptune is about to conjunct her natal Venus, which will inject her with a vast amount of idealism and sensitivity in regards to her love life. It will be interesting to see whether it will be Robert to whom these energies are directed.

 

The fact that she was caught cheating back in July, which was when her Neptune conjunct Venus transit was within orb, indicates to me that she may commit another indiscretion. At that time, transiting Uranus was square her natal Uranus (ruler of her 8th house of sex and intimacy), and transiting Jupiter was square her natal Venus (which indicates a time of overindulgence in pleasure.)

 

Back in July when Robert found out Kristen cheated, transiting Saturn was square his progressed Venus, as well as his natal Mars in the 7th house. Classic break-up transit.

 

For the next little while, Uranus will be doing a number on both Robert’s and Kristen’s natal charts. This signifies that there will be many sudden changes to their relationship.

 

Robert’s stars in April 2013 are especially positive (Jupiter conjunct his progressed Sun, natal Venus, and his progressed Venus will be sextile his natal Sun). Around this time, Kristen’s progressed Venus will be close to her natal Midheaven. In addition, Jupiter will make favorable aspects to her Sun and Mars at that time. Around this time, Kristen’s Neptune conjunct Venus transit will be in full swing.

 

If the couple stays together, this could be an indication of positive developments in their relationship, which may include getting engaged or married.

“Best Sex of your Life” Transits

 

 

We can all remember a time when we were having the best sex of our lives. Transits can tell us times when our sex lives are going to get a lot more intense, passionate, and pleasureful. Let’s take a look at some transits which can potentially bring you the best sex of your life.

 

Short transits: Inner planet transits are short-term and fleeting, but can pack a punch, especially if you are experiencing other sexual transits at the time.

 

Venus in aspect to your natal Mars: When the planet of love and beauty contact your planet of sex, your powers of attraction are very high! Your raw, aggressive, Martian nature is toned down, and your attractiveness is heightened. Under this transit, you are likely to be dominated. Passion and romance are favored during this transit. This is especially true of the conjunction, trine, and sextile. The square and opposition can be tricky, as the transit can indicate tension and challenges when it comes to satisfying both your romantic and physical needs. Members of the opposite sex might come on too strong at this time. Nevertheless, it’s a sexy transit.

 

Mars in aspect to your natal Venus: During this transit, the planet of sex aspects your planet of love, increasing your aggressiveness and powers of attraction. You are sexy, confident, and self-assured during this transit. You are less inhibited, which adds a lot of spice to your sex life. You may be more direct and assertive during this transit, and you are likely to be dominating one in bed. Be careful- you might develop sexual feelings for just about everyone you meet during this transit!

 

Venus in aspect to Pluto: Your sexual desires are stimulated during this period! You feel passionate, sexy, and confident. Through sex, you may experience a deep level of intimacy with your partner. Sex is a lot more intimate, deep, and passionate under this influence. You might enjoy dominating your partner, or being dominated by your partner in bed.

 

Mars transits your natal Pluto: Pluto is the higher octave of Mars, so when these two planets meet, sexual fireworks are in store for you and your partner. Unlike transits involving Venus, this transit does not involve cuddling and affection. Instead, this transit infuses your sex life with a “I want to rip your clothes off and destroy you” energy. Hot!

Long-term transits

 

Pluto transits your natal Venus: This transit stimulates your desire for both love and physical expressions of love. Sexual activities are definitely favored at this time! You’ll notice the sex you have during this transit is spicy hot, as well as intimate and transformative. You reach new depths of pleasure with your partner. With the hard transits (conjunctions, squares, oppositions), you may explore sexual taboos with your partner. One of you may want to dominate the other, sexually, so teacher-student/master-slave role-playing might be something you explore under this influence.

 

Pluto transits your natal Mars: This transit intensifies and stimulates your sexual energies. During this time, you may become obsessed with sexual taboos and other “forbidden” sexual acts you were never drawn to before. With you partner, you want to explore the depth of your sexuality. In fact, you may find yourself obsessed with a certain sexual relationship during this time; either you’ll meet someone new, or your existing sexual relationship will deepen. Your passion and sexual energies are strong during this time.

 

Pluto transits your natal Pluto: When the planet of sexual energy touches your Pluto, a revitalization of your sexual energies is indicated. This transit signified “real sex”; you and your partner experience the “higher meaning” of sexual expression under this transit. Through sex, you and your partner evolve during this transit, and the sex you experience serves to bring you closer to each other. This is one of the most intense sexual periods of your life.
