17 Aug 2000 - Astrology Calendar

This transit can cause you to feel emotionally violent and aggressive. You may want to lash out, especially if you are female, to anyone who oppresses you, from your husband to your boss. There may be disagreements over joint finances, inheritances, alimony and taxes. If your pet shows any signs of illness, it's best to take it to the vet. 

During this transit, you can be unpredictable, uncontrolled, quick-tempered, cranky, irritated, and nervous. Failure could result from rushing things. You could also appear vain or inconsistent in your environment. In love, you demand that your partner tells you the truth. You might feel unsettled at work. When Uranus opposes Mercury, all that "electricity in the air" can also touch the nerves and cause a psychological breakdown. It's important to stay away from alcohol, stimulants, caffeine, recreational drugs, and too much sugar.

The Trine between Mars and Pluto gives you high resilience, strong self-confidence, energy, resounding will, high ambition, assertiveness, and courage. You're eager to work, and exercise, and will feel very competitive. You realize your plans with fanaticism. It is the perfect time to deal with tax matters, insurances and pensions.

One can feel insecure and inwardly unbalanced. Strong passions are possible, but also inhibitions in love. It may not be easy to harmonize your emotions with your rational desires and needs.
