Solar Return 2020 Mercury, Venus and Mars Aspects

Solar Return Mercury square Jupiter (6°07s)

With Mercury square Jupiter in your Solar Return chart, there will be times when you are inclined to overdo things or to promise more than you can deliver due to an optimistic, but not necessarily realistic, attitude. Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach. You may feel vague restlessness and discontent with life as it is, although you are generally in a happy mood. Elevated moods could also be rather unstable, as they may not be based on reality. Channeled well, this energy can represent creative power.

Solar Return Mercury square Uranus (5°48s)

When Mercury is square or opposite Uranus in the solar return chart, you might be subjected to psychologically stressful situations. Increased nervousness, anxiety, and irrational thinking may be directly related to these taxing circumstances. Question the necessity for excessive tension in your life. If possible, withdraw from those situations that strain your mental and physical health.

Stress is also caused by continuing disruptive changes in the information received. Startling facts and shocking realizations are possible according to the house placement for Mercury and Uranus (8th & 6th, resp.) The stream of shifting information impedes the decision-making process. Thinking tends to flip-flop with each modification. Opinions expressed may require a future retraction. The task is to think before you speak and only make decision after a thorough investigation.

The good news is that this can be a creative time if you approach problems from several different angles and do not get locked into one structured way of thinking. Use this time to be innovative and original. Brainstorm with others and channel insights into practical applications. Because your mind can be unstructured, your ability to think clearly may be interrupted by erratic impulses and an inability to concentrate over any length of time. New information and ideas might be more exciting than reorganizing what you already know. If you must work on a major project that requires sustained mental energy, take frequent breaks. Work on calming and nurturing your nervous system. You may want to practice relaxation techniques and avoid stimulants.

Solar Return Venus conjunct Venus (1°28s)

Venus to Venus, Same Gender: Compatibility with others whom you love and care deeply for is highlighted this year. You may feel in a romantic mood for much of this year. Socially you may enjoy  great popularity, as you meet people who have similar likes and dislikes. There is a sense of inner harmony and peace. There is consistency with your psychological values, as you are in sync here. You have ample opportunity to share beautiful experiences with others. This may be a year for acquisitions which you will value greatly, perhaps even receiving gifts and/or praise from others. Financially there may be gains and you seem on track, according to goals you have set for yourself. This is a year of satisfying desires, especially sensual ones. Furthermore it is a time of being treated with fairness or favoritism by others. Also you seem satisfied with your appearance and/or style. In fact, there may be favorable experiences involving your physical appearance (increasing attractiveness i.e. hair style, new clothes etc.)

Solar Return Venus Sextile Ascendant  (4°53s)

This is a year in which agreements and relationships of a very positive nature may unfold. In business, agreements lead to financial success. Many new and favorable contacts and contracts may arise, and you are encouraged to pursue these. Others seem to find you most agreeable and pleasant to be with. For the year, you exude more than your usual grace and charm. Romantic matters also are highlighted. You have a wonderful and appealing nature which draws others to you. In addition, your personal appearance is very attractive – even you like the way you look! Furthermore, others whom you find exciting and attractive come into your life, and from this, love may transpire. Things of beauty and value may also come into your possession. Financially, you tend to do very well this year, and your savings may increase, thus affording you a greater sense of financial and psychological security. You are encouraged to purchase things that will make you feel “good” about yourself, or to change your appearance in some way if you wish (i.e. clothing, plastic surgery, etc.). You may also function very well as a mediator between two opposing views, and receive compliments from both sides. If the aspect to the Ascendant is not exact, you may wish to consult with a qualified professional astrologer who can advise you on where this aspect would be more exact. The closer this aspect is to exact, the more powerful its correlation to your life experience is likely to be.

Solar Return Mars trine Mars (8°28s)

Mars to Mars, Same Gender: Conditions arise which stimulate your urge for adventure and enterprise. This is the year you have the urge to start something new in life. As such, you may experience success in new activities. You tend to feel confident and assertive. Success in competitive matters is promised, and so too is enjoyment in recreational and/or athletic endeavors. Furthermore the year highlights a passion for life, and an increase in passion in general. Thus there may well be exciting and satisfying sexual experiences. There may also be a strong -- even arrogant -- ego nature. Basically you are well motivated and you are in sync with your natural physical and energy
expression.

Solar Return Mars Trine Ascendant (2°48s)

This is a year of great motivation to do things successfully. You seem highly charged and energetic, and very self-directed. Your pioneering spirit can be a great aid in starting a particular (or many) new ventures. You seem eager to try new things. One area that may be of great benefit is physical exercise or athletic competition - or competition of any kind this year. You tend to fare very well in such endeavors. This indicates a year of great activity, and one not given to boredom.

Solar Return 2020 Moon Aspects

Solar Return Moon in Gemini


This is a year of emotional adjustments. You may feel pulled in a number of directions, and you could find yourself very busy and perhaps in demand. If the Moon is afflicted, you may feel behind schedule and you may have difficulty keeping up with the pace of your life.

Solar Return Venus Conjunct natal Moon (4°05a)

You will respond sensitively and sympathetically to the demonstrations of love and affection from others. You will enjoy social encounters and, if you are available, you might meet a special someone and fall in love. Your intuitive powers will increase and you will feel very protective and caring toward your loved ones.

Hard aspects to Venus are not explicitly problematic, although they have their issues. You feel a lot of desire this year. Your passions are aroused in all areas — sensuality, food, comfort, pleasure, material goods, and so forth. Sometimes, a desire to create a family is strong. Generally, there is more social activity, and your sensuality is strong this year. You look to satisfy your “sweet tooth” for pleasure. Your urge for affection may be temperamental, but insistent when active.

Solar Return Moon Opposition Mars (4°59s)

Within six weeks you may feel very energetic and highly motivated. Many of your activities seem to be going great, and much of your success is due to your own enthusiasm and hard efforts. During this period you may either start new ventures, or find yourself thoroughly immersed - and enjoying - things that have recently been started. There is a sense of "newness" about you, of adventurousness. There is also a healthy sense of competition, and you fare well in activities with others. You have a "passion" for life, and in fact your physical passions may be highly aroused. In addition, you exhibit very fine leadership skills, combined with a healthy pioneering spirit. This is an excellent time to plan things you want to go well.

Hard aspects to Mars can bring with them confrontations and moments of emotional anger. This is largely because you are far from indifferent on an emotional level this year. Your passions are aroused and it is hard for you to step back and objectively review any given situation. You can be emotionally impulsive during this period of your life, and your hunger for new experiences can reveal itself in restlessness and/or impatience.

Solar Return Moon Trine Jupiter (7°00s)

Moon sextile or trine Jupiter in the solar return indicates a positive outlook on life. This can be a year of happiness and contentment. You should be optimistic about the future and your potential for success. Use your talents and abilities to advance professionally or evolve spiritually. Expansion into new areas is advantageous. The house placement of Jupiter should indicate where expansion is likely to occur.

Solar Return Moon trine Uranus (6°42s)

You will be on the lookout for people who will interest you and help you to escape your daily routine during this year. You will have the desire to move in a more independent way and will want to express your emotions freely. The changes that will come will be very beneficial and will help you to achieve the freedom that you will need and seek out. Your imagination, creativity, and intuition will increase. You will conceive very original, new ideas that will be of much benefit to you. You might even have an idea for an invention, particularly something which could be used in the home. Your emotions will be changeable and sudden which could give you the desire and the opportunity to get into an unusual relationship of some kind which could change your life considerably. If you are in a stable relationship during this time, you might want to make some changes which you believe will make your relationship more fulfilling. It is important that you make some changes in your daily routine. If you act in an intelligent and organized way, your changes will be beneficial and constructive. If you participate in some group activity, there is a possibility of you becoming the leader and wanting to propose some changes in its structure. There also could be unexpected changes in your home environment that will help you to live with more comfort and freedom. Your intuition will sharpen and this could bring the possibility for some psychic or mystical experiences during this year.

Solar Return Moon Trine Ascendant (0°41a)

This is a year of many positive changes which effect you emotionally. Very intimate relationships may be cultivated, or solidified (as in marriage). You are well aware that others care greatly for you, and as a recipient of that love, your own inner nature is moved deeply. Your emotional needs are fulfilled. In the eyes of the public, you are held in very high regard. If you wish to make changes in your residence - either relocate or remodel your home - this year denotes success. In all matters dealing with the family or real estate, this portends favorable results. It is a year to nurture and be nurtured, to care and be cared for. It is potentially a year of a great and special love.


Solar Return 2020 Sun Aspects

Solar Return Sun conjunct Solar Return Mercury (6°02s)

Your ideas will be on the right track this year. You will be able to understand situations better and put things in their proper place. Communication will be important to you and this influence will prompt you to keep your correspondence up to date and to stay in contact with your friends. You probably will take one or several short trips, especially if other astrological factors in this report indicate the same.

Solar Return Sun trine Solar Return Mars (7°35a)

You will be full of enthusiasm and vitality. Your high energy level will make it possible for you to set and attain many of your goals during this year. You will trust and believe in yourself, feel good about yourself and deal constructively with any situation you encounter. Your positive attitude will enable you to use your physical energy appropriately. You shouldn’t have to deal with many physical problems this year. Anything that does trouble you will be dealt with easily and quickly.

This astrological influence emphasizes your leadership ability. It is likely that you will take on a new position at work, one that lets you work more independently. You will easily be able to communicate and convey your ideas to others. Your enthusiasm for your work will be contagious.

In addition, you will show a protective attitude toward your loved ones. You will be very open and sincere with your friends and will be willing to lend a helping hand to those who need it. You will also feel quite adventurous, wanting to travel and explore new and fascinating places.

In conclusion, this will be a very active year and one of big accomplishments.

Solar Return Sun sextile Solar Return Jupiter (5°34a)

This will be a very favorable and happy year. You will be experiencing some very positive energy that will enable you to resolve your problems very easily. As a matter of fact, because of your enthusiasm and optimistic outlook, this could be a very lucky year. You will be very willing to work hard and eager to take action with a smile on your face. The area of your life where you will experience a period of general expansion and growth is to be found in the house that is occupied by the Sun this year (described in the previous paragraph) and in the house occupied by Jupiter (described later on). Your social life will increase and bring you in contact with more influential and powerful people.

If you are involved in some type of litigation or legal process, it will be settled in your favor. Your sense of justice will increase along with the desire to acquire more knowledge. You will seek out new experiences and will have a strong desire to travel this year.

This will be a year to harvest all that was cultivated in previous years.

Solar Return Sun sextile Solar Return Uranus (5°52a)

Your creativity will increase considerably and it will be reflected positively in your activities. During this year you will be attracted to new and out of the ordinary activities. You will be interested in studying such disciplines as science, technology, or astrology. Your intuition will increase and will be your best guide when called on to make decisions. If you are attracted to the occult sciences, you will spend more time studying these subjects in depth during this year and also could develop your powers of perception.

You won’t feel very comfortable following any kind of routine and will want to introduce changes in your life. These changes will be very favorable and will make you feel more free. It will be a year loaded with positive surprises that will benefit you. Always keep in mind that because of your eagerness to learn, it is wise to alternate your mental activities with a certain amount of physical activity.

This astrological aspect points to and encourages travel for this year. You might even decide to get up and go on the spur of the moment without making any plans. Social contacts and communication also will increase, and you will benefit from associating more with friends or social groups that you are already involved with.

Solar Return Sun trine Solar Return Neptune (1°21a)

During this year you will develop a great deal of idealism. You will have a very keen perception that will allow you to judge people correctly on your first impression and you will be able to sense their reactions in advance. This is a good year for the studies of metaphysical or occult sciences in general. You might think about developing your intuition or powers of perception.

You will actively participate in groups or institutions that help people in need. Your desire to help others will be very strong and will incline you to put your own interests aside during this year. The activities that you undertake in this period will give you much pleasure on the spiritual level. Your approach to God and religion also will be very important. You could get much benefit from prayer or meditation.

As far as relationships are concerned, you are more likely to be looking for a platonic relationship rather a romantic one. It’s important for you to be realistic and do your best to see people clearly, with all their faults as well as virtues, in order to guard against being deceived or hurt.

In addition, if you are devoted to music or the art world, you will have many moments of inspiration that will benefit you in your work.

During this period you could benefit considerably from being around water. Every time you become tense or unbalanced, you should go to some place where you can be near water, such as a river, ocean, or lake. If that is not possible, you could take long showers or baths to revive your energy.

Solar Return Sun sextile Solar Return Pluto (1°46s)

During this time you will feel the desire to investigate and study the mysteries of life in depth. You will be interested in the occult and also will bring to the surface memories or impressions of your past that affect your present conduct. It is a year of positive transformation and of freedom. All changes that begin now will enable you to live with more freedom in the future. If you were contemplating some type of therapy, it would be a good time to start and would be very beneficial. You will be attracted to any type of activity that tests your ability and level of energy. You will need to reaffirm and rely on your own strength, and during this year you will be willing to move ahead.

You will express yourself with authority and strength in your relationships with others, causing a strong impact and making a very good impression. Due to the strength of your great inner convictions, you will more easily persuade others to adopt your ideas. Your authority will be notable and you could become a leader in the group that you are affiliated with.

This astrological influence brings concrete action and will solve many aspects of your life. Once you have made a decision, you will be devoted to working toward your goal. You will experience a transformation and renewal of your life in general.

Solar Return Sun square Solar Return MC (4°28a)

You could meet with obstacles or oppositions in your profession during this year. You will have to work and sacrifice more in order to achieve the position that you desire. Don’t get too obsessed with blaming others though because it could be due, in part, to the fact that you reject the ideas and opinions of others. Due to your negative attitude, your social life could also be affected. You will feel that your objectives are not in tune with others and will insist on doing things your own way. You will probably prefer working alone as much as possible this year so you will not have to deal with opposition from others.

Situations not related to your profession could also be problematical for you. These could be things like disagreements with your partner or business associates, problems in your home life, or your own lack of enthusiasm for and trust in your own projects. It is important that you define your goals and that you work with perseverance to achieve them without letting anything get in your way.

https://astrologyking.com/sun-square-ascendant/

Sun Square Ascendant Transit

Sun square Ascendant transit means you will spend a lot of your time and energy dealing with other people. Unfortunately, a tendency towards selfishness can lead to you trying to dominate others or others trying to dominate you. You may end up wasting too much of your time and energy trying to get your own way to make sure that what you are fighting for is worth it.

Self-awareness is the key to dealing with this competitive energy. If you really believe that your intentions are in your best long-term interests then push ahead with confidence despite the initial backlash. In most cases, however, people will feel so threatened by your actions that they will work against you. If these people have power and authority over you then the best course of action is tactical retreat or compromise.

https://astrologyking.com/mercury-square-mars/

Mercury Square Mars Transit

Mercury square Mars transit leads to rushed thinking which can make you short-tempered and aggressive. You may jump to conclusions, rush your decision-making and say the wrong thing. All of this can then lead to disagreements, arguments and even open hostility.

Your personal relationships can suffer under this influence but other areas of life can be problematic. When interacting with other people the key is to listen carefully and think twice before speaking. Just as you are likely to be irritable and touchy, those around you can pick up on the vibe and become more assertive too.

This is not a good time for making important decisions or entering into negotiations. If you must attend to important business or legal matters then seek professional guidance. Studying and paperwork may suffer from your jumpy and unsettled nature. But you cannot bury your frustrations and smother your high energy. There are constructive things you can do to safely express this nervous energy.

Danger when taking risks comes from your heated mental state and impulsiveness. Instead of racing cars or debating politics and religion, you should look to more controlled or conservative activities. This can include hobbies or creative projects in which you use your hands and fingers for dexterity. Physical exercise and sports, though not too competitive, will also burn up the hot energy.

Transits

Mars Opposite Pluto Transit

Mars opposite Pluto transit gives an intense passion to achieve your strongest desires. In this competitive spirit, you may go to great lengths to achieve victory. This battle may be an internal one in which you strive to reach your full potential and better past efforts.

This transit does come with powerful and primal energies, often activating the fight or flight response. If you are able to channel such aggressive and dominating urges, the transformational nature of this transit enables marked achievements. Physical and creative pursuits are favored, but the competitive arena may involve business or other professional areas, where courage and strength are required. It is possible that the project you are so determined to complete may have begun a year or two ago.

More often, however, this transit will result in competition against others or a particular person. If in the above case where you concentrate fully on achieving your own goals, you can come up against resistance from powerful enemies. If you threaten their position or use ruthless tactics, you will be in for a fight. The physical nature of this transit means that in such situations, there is a danger of aggression turning to violence.

You may have to contend with powerful forces acting against you. They will seek out weak spots in your plans and defenses. In some cases, you will come to the realization that your effort will not succeed at this time. If this is the case, you can your considerable energy to transform your goals in order to take the heat off.

If you chose to go into battle at this time, it would be better not to go it alone and enlist the help of other motivated people. Success will only come by maintaining high moral standards. Any coercive tactics, threats or intimidation will more than likely backfire.


Sexual conquest at this time also comes with dangers. Your will power and sex drive may become overbearing. If dating then beware of predators and the potential for male violence or rape under these conditions.

Mars Sextile Neptune Transit 0°37

Mars sextile Neptune transit increases your sensual desires making this an ideal time for romance. Your mystic allure will attract people more in tune with your level of spiritual development and you may even find your soul mate.

You are sensitive to the desires of others and will enjoy being of service to them. This can result in [extremes, from a simple] act of charity, to a sensual massage. You have ample soothing and healing energy to share and should feel no guilt about any boost to your ego.

You can also assert this spiritual energy to defend the mistreated or fight for a just cause. Your strong sense of what is right and true will guide you in your actions. Spiritual truths can be found through the application of your religious or spiritual beliefs. This can range from helping out at church to doing someone’s astrology chart.

Spend time with friends and groups of people or follow your creative passions in music, dance or drama. You should have a good sense of rhythm and tone. (https://astrologyking.com/mars-sextile-neptune/)

Mercury square Sun  1°03

Mercury square Sun transit increases mental activity and communications but also adds friction and tension to these areas. Thinking can be nervous or rushed, which may lead to slip up’s in conversations, not saying exactly what you mean. This in turn can lead to other people getting the wrong idea, an increased chance of arguments, or simply not having matters resolved.

Not the best time to ask for a raise from the boss, or to make important decisions. Avoid stirring up trouble or trying to humor people as you may offend. Still you may have to deal with more phone calls and correspondence than usual which could be annoying, and routine trips around town could cause some irritation. (https://astrologyking.com/mercury-square-sun-transit/)

Mercury square Venus 0°44

Mercury square Venus transit can make you feel uncomfortable or awkward in social situations. Carelessness with your words and a tendency to be opinionated could lead to disagreements or embarrassment. Conflict is unlikely but this is probably a time for listening more than talking.

Tension in your love life is possible as differences in your ideas or plans become more obvious. Discovering you like different things need not cause arguments if use some tact and try to compromise. But avoid giving too much ground because you might agree to something just to keep the peace and regret it later.

When in the company of others be mindful to remember you manners because your social skills may be lacking. This is not be best time for shopping  as you are likely to buy things you do not need. Self restraint is needed with money as well as sweet food and whatever else you have a weak spot for. (https://astrologyking.com/mercury-square-venus-transit/)

Transits

Sun sextile Ascendant 0°34

Sun sextile Ascendant transit is great for working with others in a team effort, as long as you are a leader in the team or are given a lot of independent initiative. It is also important that the people you work with are energetic and can do their share of the work. You would be very impatient with anyone who is slower or less energetic than yourself. Your high physical energy, impatience and impulsiveness will attract other sporty and sexy types of people.

You should feel more self-assertive than usual which is good for telling people how you really feel about something. People should respect you for your honesty and this smooth type of assertive energy is unlikely to provoke a fight. Sun sextile Ascendant transit is a good time for standing up for your rights and defending the rights of loved ones.


This is a great transit for intimate relationships because of your increased sexual magnetism and physical attractiveness. If you are dating you can conquer any natural shyness you may have to break the ice and make a good first impression.

Pluto opposite Mercury 1°58

Mercury opposite Pluto transit creates a battle of ideas, either within your own mind or between competitors. There is a tendency under this transit to put the blinkers on an hone in on a particular problem or concept. This is a good time for research, investigation and uncovering secrets. An intense buildup of mental energy requires an outlet, and this can range from occult studies to fierce debates and arguments.

The most positive manifestation of this transit would be psychological self-analysis or relationship counseling. Although opinions may be very strong now, there is also the promise of a positive transformation in your thinking as deeper levels of understanding are reached.

There are, however, a number of more negative scenarios to beware of. This transit favors subversive tactics such as propaganda, mind control, threats, intimidation and other forms of psychological abuse. You should be wary of being talking into things under pressure, due to a tendency to become intrigued or obsessed with a particular idea. Abusing your own mental powers may result in temporary gains and inflated feeling of superiority, but in the long run, such tactics would backfire.


The truth may be hidden today by secrecy or propaganda. It is reasonable not to take anything a face value and investigate both sides of the equation. Conspiracy theories abound.

Asteroids

Ceres
      What we need to feel loved....

Ceres in Sidereal Capricorn and in the 6th House:

Feeling organized and in control makes this one feel nurtured. Since Saturn, which has the effect of reducing things, rules Capricorn, the early nurturing received was probably, well, wanting. Even if the family happened to be wealthy, the parents could have been cold, withdrawn, or believed in giving strict discipline to the children in order to keep them from being "spoiled." People with this placement will nurture you by making sure that everything is arranged and organized properly. Try to get them to lighten up a bit. Work could easily give you that nurturing feeling. People with this [House] placement would either tend to nurture co-workers or feel nurtured by them. This placement can also feel nurtured by doctors and other health care workers.

Ceres sextile Mars 1°29a

Energy, action, and nurturing combined. This person feels nurtured through physical action, adventure, and even combat. When it comes to nurturing others, they can dive right in and nurture you whether you want them to or not.

Ceres square Midheaven 1°58a

This could indicate a career that is ruled by Ceres: professional chef or other jobs connected with food, work in the clothing industry, or any sort of activity where nurturing is done. The only aspect that may be a problem here is the square, which could indicate that the parents disagreed over the best way to nurture you.

https://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/Ceres21.1.html

Juno 
      Juno in astrology is used as an indicator of what kind of person we’re meant to marry.

Juno in Sidereal Sagittarius and in the 6th House:

Your soul mate could be of a different religion,cultural background and may be a foreigner or come from another country. He or she could be famous and have a talent for writing, teaching or education. You may follow this person to another country or travel extensively to find him or her. Your most significant relationships will likely occur within the arena of the workplace, or in some health-related service. You may share work with your mate, and value efficiency and skill in each other. You require a partner who is attentive to the details of day-to-day existence.

Vesta

Vesta in Sidereal Taurus and in the 11th House:

You work steadily and dependably when in a stable and comfortable work space. You may be fixed in your routines and work habits, but can consistently create tangible beauty, which is of great meaning to you. This is good for artists and sculptors. Your devotion is focused on a humanitarian or futuristic ideal of respect for freedom and individuality, and honoring of all life. You are most dedicated to working within a group of like-minded people, and may forego personal friendships at times for the sake of the cause. Your challenge is to clearly define and focus on your aspirations and ideal, so that you may be clearly directed toward them.

https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/vesta-in-house-and-signs-astrology-related.920862/

Vesta conjunct Venus 0°08s

Venus rules one's social skills and artistic abilities. More generally, it governs our ability to experience pleasure and be happy. Harmonious aspects (conjunction, sextile and trine) with Vesta can make it easier to focus on these things. The stressful aspects (square and opposition) may indicate a tendency to avoid happiness by concentrating on work, or someone who has difficulty getting any pleasure from their work. Work could also be used to avoid social interaction. Conversely, this could be someone who only focuses on pleasure and social situations and refuses to work at all.

Vesta sextile Ascendant  1°14a

The harmonious aspects (conjunction, sextile and trine) make it easier to focus in general (particularly the conjunction). The opposition aspect could indicate focus on someone else (particularly a partner). It could also indicate that one focuses better when there is someone else around. The square aspect could show difficulties with partners over who does what work. Partners could also interfere with work and focus, but with the square, there could be difficulty focusing even without a partner because the things you want to focus on (shown by the sign where you have Vesta) clash with the type of person you are (shown by the sign on the Ascendant).

Eris
      Eris defines the part of ourselves whose essential nature is as odds with our current cultural norms. This part of us stands against “what everyone does”.

Eris in Sidereal Pisces and in the 9th House:

You may experience education and travel opportunities that are divergent from the norm. You may find the traditional educational process difficult to complete because of your urges to pursue your own line of study. Travel takes you to places where you glimpse the economic inequities of life. Even if you go to a sunny Caribbean beach for vacation you might find yourself getting lost in the slums.

Eris sextile Venus 0°06s
Eris trine Ascendant 1°16a

Pholus
       Pholus offers healing aid, through unexpected events or in a shroud of confusion or commotion perhaps involving psychotropics or helping one to make passage through veils and illusions to fulfill their soul oath, or greater life purpose; and if need be, to ultimately discard that which is superfluous to one's greater purpose or life journey.

https://www.lunarplanner.com/~lunarpla/asteroids-centaurs/index.html

      Astrologically, Pholus shows where we tend to do stupid or foolish things, where we act without really thinking things through or realizing the consequences. He also indicates turning of fortunes, or as I sometimes think of his effect, the “Plot Twist”.

Progressed and Solar Aspects in Common

Neptune trine Mercury
      You may arrive at answers without much effort, and too much analysis generally is ineffective, as you benefit from thinking with no set boundaries. Problems that are complex can resolve more easily since you typically are more flexible in your approach. You tend to show greater open-mindedness in all that you do, so that you typically overlook differences to recognize similarities. Instead of separating ideas into distinct categories, you gain by uniting them into a coherent whole. Learning experiences may lead you to recognize, at least intellectually, the harmony that can exist throughout life.
      While this cycle offers you the chance to think in the most universal terms, you also are capable of making subtle distinctions that make you sensitive to slight changes. Your communications may have a softer tone, and you can smooth rough edges by your willingness to see all sides of an issue. Being right usually is less important than being fair, and you can speak and write in a way that makes others know that you care. Even if you function in a harsh environment where there is little room for sympathy, you can make a difference in your considerations. Skill in negotiations can appear now. You can listen to what others have to say, and perhaps more importantly to what they don't say, because you have a sense for the intent behind the words.
      This is an excellent time to connect in whatever way appeals to you. This may be with people, books, writing, or sharing information in general. You can have fun now by being open to the range of experiences that likely are available to you. Short trips can provide a means to get away from the stress and to reconnect with yourself. Mental accord can quiet your nervous system, and it can allow you to share deeply with others, often without the need for direct communication. Take this opportunity to relax, especially from any psychological fatigue. You can disengage from repetitive thought patterns now if you find it necessary, and you can empty your mind of the noise that prevents you from apprehending what is important.
      You have the ability to anticipate things before they happen, and you tend to think in grand terms. Contracts that you sign now can favor you greatly, especially if you let go of any outcomes. However, this period can signify mental laziness where you prefer to retreat into your own world, which may indeed be very enjoyable. Then it becomes unlikely to gain the full benefit that this time offers, since to get the most out of it requires some attention. While letting go does mean doing nothing, and it is a strong feature of this cycle, it is not inactivity. It implies waiting and being receptive until the right thought comes that inspires you to express yourself with truthfulness and honesty.  https://www.thefutureminders.com/Neptune-transits/neptune-trine-mercury.cfm

      You may enjoy yourself immeasurably during this period, despite the cares of the world. You generally function well outside as well inside the limits that define your life, and you can demonstrate a lightness that does not get weighed down by burdens. Even if you have significant responsibilities, you tend to accept them more readily, so that they seem less restrictive. You often find ways to disengage from the demands that drive you, and this is an excellent time to relax.
      While you may fear being too vulnerable, people and circumstances are unlikely to take advantage of you if you open your heart now. Trust is easier to access within yourself. Faith in your abilities to accomplish certain objectives, especially ones that you love to pursue, can enhance your confidence, as you may release talents that were unavailable before. Inspiration can spark creativity. This is an excellent time to reshape your self-image, if necessary, since you typically find it easier to dissolve false perceptions of who you are. You can use this time to play a lot of different roles in order to see what ones you like, what ones seem to bring out the best in you. The boundaries that have defined you often appear less rigid, which can allow you to find what character(s) give you the greatest happiness.
      Your life generally is more fluid now, and you can easily accommodate a wide range of experiences. Greater adaptability allows you to fit in almost wherever you go, and you likely show greater empathy than before. One of the gifts of this period is what you receive when you give. Differences that before separated you from people or places may dissipate, and sharing what resources you can likely fulfills you, as well as benefits others. Even in a leadership position you generally permit greater latitude to those under you, and you can demonstrate compassion that supersedes the letter of the law.
      No matter what your status in life, pliancy is a strong characteristic of this cycle. Wherever you are inflexible or hard, this is an opportunity to loosen and soften certain edges. If you let go of outcomes, you can flow through this cycle and enjoy the ride while still winding towards your goal. Sometimes the line of least resistance is to do nothing, and it is possible that you lack motivation during this interval. Whether you are floating with the current or on the sidelines, both require little effort. However, one is dynamic and the other is static. It is your choice, and neither one is wrong.

Chiron trine Mars
      Transit Chiron sextile or trine natal Mars can be helpful for driving you to work on healing from your wounds and letting go of baggage, and you can feel more energized to do so. http://www.thedarkpixieastrology.com/blog/transit-chiron-aspects
      Chiron Transits to Mars bring reactions to you that your Mars may not appreciate. When you make a choice or act on a desire, you might get what looks like blow back from others who seem overly sensitive, and who take things too personally. While this might lead to some tension (the particular aspect matters here), the point is that you learn more about how your actions affect others. If you feel slowed down or stunted by the needs or fears of others, understand that this transit is asking you to align your choices with what serves the highest good of all involved. It could be that something you’ve always wanted (and perhaps worked toward) no longer seems meaningful to you, or you might see your true motivation for pursuing it and be willing to let it go. You’re in a process of upgrading what motivates you and how you make choices. This time is a good one for learning more about tuning into your body to get to deeper and deeper levels of what energies within you cause you to make the choice you typically don’t think twice about but keep making. https://www.tdjacobs.com/articles/the-chiron-pages/transits-of-chiron/

      You may arrive at answers without much effort, and too much analysis generally is ineffective, as you benefit from thinking with no set boundaries. Problems that are complex can resolve more easily since you typically are more flexible in your approach. You tend to show greater open-mindedness in all that you do, so that you typically overlook differences to recognize similarities.

Pluto sextile natal North Node 1°25s
     Your destiny lies in wait in the deepest part of your soul. It will be up to you this year to dig deep inside your psyche to determine just which direction you should take. Think of your emotional urges as a map that can help guide you to your most highly evolved state.
      Your gut instincts are powerful and accurate, if you take the time to hear what they're really telling you. Opportunities for advancement and fulfillment actually lie inside you. It's simply a matter of channeling them and bringing a certain level of perception into the realm of your subconscious. Understanding the darker secrets of your inner being and secret drive can help you transform yourself and your approach to life in a manner that will propel you toward your future. You'll also want to realize that change must be a major part of your life, and, though you can go it alone, it will be easier if you turn to others for help. Those who care about you probably know you pretty well too, and while only you can discover who you are at the deepest levels, they can offer guidance to help you onto the correct path to achieving your life's mission.

       North Node sextile Pluto boosts determination, stamina, and willpower. It provides power, control, and physical strength, which you are learning to handle. You may have been bullied or beaten down in the past life so you couldn't quite attain your goals, and now the higher forces have ensured you don't cave in again.
      You will now battle through whatever odds are set against you if you feel passionate about you cause. You can succeed in multiple areas. You have the oomph to follow through with your goals. You may even be compelled or obsessed about it. There are successful people in various areas: surgeons, athletes, mathematicians and artists. The house of your Pluto position reveals where there are opportunities to develop more power.
      There is potential talent for understanding trends from an intuitive level that can be taken advantage of in very deliberate ways. You are a master of strategy. Working on the highest plane, this aspect stimulates a deep interest in the meaning of life, a search for truth and illumination. Of course these talents can be used wisely for the advantage of society, or selfishly. You may be tempted to use your powerful insights to manipulate, getting caught up in unrelenting power games and struggles.
      You might opt for gaining power and control in external ways, through money or politics, exercising power over the people. There are many politicians with this aspect. This nodal influence on Pluto can distort the energies as it magnifies them, causing you to never feel satisfied with the command you do achieve. There are aggressive vibes that must go somewhere and can become destructive. There may be sinister dealings or connections. Sometimes your life can be touched by illness, violence, or tragedy.
      You are intuitive enough to understand how social trends are formed and how you can contribute to their transformation. You’ll learn resourcefulness as a result of this intuition, but be careful not to let these endless manipulations of social values drastically change you or trap you.

North Node conjunct natal Mercury 1°44s
      North Node conjunct Mercury boosts the mental capacity and gives potential in areas calling for the use of the intellect. The higher powers have blessed you with previously untapped talents to communicate and to promote their bright ideas at just the right time to gain support and popularity.
      In the past there may have been limited opportunities to go through learning processes or your communication might have been blocked. You maybe a young soul and have a youthful quality. You can introduce fresh new ideas and establish new or modern ways of doing things. You can display wit and a versatile mind that is quick and adaptable. You can be progressive and innovative, frequently showing early potential. A drawback with this conjunction is you may go along with what is popular at the moment, scattering your mental energies. Or you may like to gossip.
      You are likely to be popular, expressive and a good communicator. For this reason you can be very useful in making ideas become accepted and agreed on by the masses with your manner of communicating. However, your line of thinking is often in line with the status quo and isn’t too controversial and in fact usually accepted. Be careful of getting swept up in popular ways of thinking that discourage progress. While endearingly inquisitive, you must learn to develop a more independent mind free of the input of others and social norms.

Instinctual judgment is enhanced under this influence. You might solve a mystery or find that you’re rewarded for a past deed now. https://cafeastrology.com/suntransits.html

      Lighthearted conversations, sociability, humor, and cooperation are hallmarks of this transit. This is a good time for socializing and for communicating with ease, telling others how you feel, and negotiating. Mentally, you may not be as disciplined as usual, as you prefer to chat with others and to think about more “pleasant” things than work. This influence is generally favorable for commerce, and it sometimes indicates a job-related social function.

Mars sextile natal Venus 1°41a 
      Sexual and creative energy is high now. You are hungry for experience–you want to put into action many of your wants and desires. Although you might be a little too eager, and perhaps come across as insensitive, this could also be a time when you take the lead and make your move. You could be impulsive with your affections and/or your pocketbook during this transit. You have an opportunity now to take the initiative in order to achieve harmony and sexual fulfillment. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. Your romantic impulses may be more forceful and pressing. Some level of competition is present in your interactions with others.

Transits for August 11, 2016

Transiting Jupiter Sextile Natal Sun at 0°33 arcminutes

Success can come easier during this time period, and you tend to believe in yourself more than usual. Whether your self-esteem is naturally high or low, you encounter more opportunities that can open doors for you. Taking advantage of those opportunities can bring you advancement in certain areas. You often experience greater confidence to assume risk, and taking chances may offer a higher probability of working in your favor, especially activities that fulfill you rather than merely satisfying a craving for material gain.
Although physical well-being is an important and desirable outcome of this cycle, you can achieve a broader self-knowledge if you so choose, which likely is more valuable. With a propensity now to use your mind and with success more available to you, this is an excellent time to benefit from learning of any kind but particularly for seeking to understand yourself better. Self-improvement may find little resistance, as you progress more rapidly in your development or in the development of an undertaking that is an expression of who you are.

Broadening horizons is an essential feature of this period. While activity often increases now, this is not only a time for action but for understanding, so that you can make better decisions in the future. If you have a wealth of experience, then you likely have a clear grasp of the possibilities before you, permitting you to move forward with confidence. However, this cycle can serve to increase your knowledge by exploring unknown areas of existence to you. This may happen through travel, study, or wider contacts generally, which enrich your life in ways that can give you a more comprehensive view of how things fit together.

Generally, this is a busy period with many choices placed before you. However, you may prefer to use this time to recharge if you have dissipated your resources recently. In this way you restore what is lost; confidence, self-esteem, vitality, creativity. Since you can find the answers more readily, seek to discern the reasons behind whatever you lack, so that you can improve and put yourself in future positions that enhance rather than deplete you.

This cycle brings many opportunities for experiences that assist in the realization of what is best for you. It can also offer a deeper appreciation of what it means to give. Being generous not only financially but also with all your talents can make such a difference not only in the lives of others but especially your own. Beneficence during this time period likely will reward you beyond the measure of your own giving.

Improvements in certain areas of your life can happen easily now as you tend to encounter little resistance in your efforts to grow. While there is a danger of exceeding your limits, luck generally is on your side so that things typically work out in your favor. Much depends on your attitude, and during this cycle you usually have a more positive outlook than usual, which enhances the probability of fortunate outcomes. There are times in life to retreat and times to hold your ground. This period, however, can allow you to move forward and to expand your horizons.
Interesting encounters often occur, and this can be one of the best times for adventure. Even if you prefer the safety of your known environment, the urge to travel can be irresistible. You often have a thirst for learning, and you benefit from knowledge in any form. While you can accumulate a large quantity of experiences, seek to understand their meaning so as to broaden your belief in what is best for you as well as for others. You have the capacity to make your life more than what it has been and to provide support and optimism for those around you.

This often is an interval of new beginnings where you can leave the past behind for something better. Whatever you initiate now can last for many years, making it an excellent time to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise or that you create through your own efforts. It is possible that you are more restless now and you may seek greater freedom. Although doors may open for you, try to have some purpose to your movements, or you may find yourself dispersed in many directions. Being scattered is not necessarily a negative, especially if you have been wound tightly. This is a period, however, where you can weave the different threads of your existence together and witness real progress in your development and self-understanding.

This marks the start of a 12 year cycle that can produce very positive effects for you, but so much depends on your priorities and where you apply your energy. Generally, you show enthusiasm and optimism for all that you do now and this helps to ensure the prospects of any undertaking. You can sow the seeds for success wherever needed, but it is unlikely to happen by itself. You must have the belief that what you begin now can bring you lasting satisfaction. In fact, one of the potential gifts of this period is recognizing how thought can influence reality. Attempt to trust the beneficence of life now, so that you can access that ability later when you may need it.
