TRANSITING PLANET ASPECTS TO NATAL PLANETS born 22 Sep 1949 at 10.43 a.m. (6) Friday, 09 Aug 2002 at 10:34 AM SUN Conjunct PLUTO (0.5 degree) - SUN at 16 LEO 57 You may feel strong forces at work today, forces of will, power, transformation, and regeneration. These forces might manifest as a desire to build or create something new or to make some sweeping change in your life. They might also appear in some sort of power play or desire to control someone. Realize that you can't control anyone but yourself and use the energies today to gain greater self- control and humility. Ego conflicts can be intense today. MERCURY Sextile URANUS (0.8 degree) - MERCURY at 05 VIR 38 Your thinking today is ingenious, original, clever, sharp, and magnetic. Electricity is in your head and probably the rest of your body. You are full of nervous energy, but it is the type that can help you accomplish more. New and exciting opportunities may come about today through travel, conversations with others, or through new reading material. Go exploring. VENUS Conjunct MOON (0.5 degree) - VENUS at 02 LIB 27 You should feel good today because your feelings and emotions are harmonious and in balance. You see and express the beauty around you and it makes you feel well. Relations with others including your family are likely to be warm and pleasant. You may have a tendency towards over-indulgence, laziness or over-sensitivity or sentimentality. Watch that sweet tooth and curb your appetite. MARS Conjunct PLUTO (0.1 degree) - MARS at 17 LEO 21 You may be tempted to bully people into doing your will. The spirit of competition is strong, but try to be cooperative instead. Much can be accomplished if you will use your energies and your indomitable will together, in harmony. Do not try to control people or events. Concentrate on doing your best and things will work out the way they are supposed to. People who are coerced to do your will, will at some time try to even up the score. It's not worth it. Avoid power struggles and be aware that someone might try to control you. If so, all you have to do is stand up for your rights.
